PARKER DRILLING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | General— In the opinion of the management of Parker Drilling Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a normally recurring nature) which are necessary for a fair presentation of (1) the financial position as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, (2) the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and (3) cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2006. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. | |
Our independent registered public accounting firm has performed a review of these interim financial statements in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Pursuant to Rule 436(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, the independent registered public accounting firm’s report of that review should not be considered a report within the meaning of Section 7 and 11 of that Act, and the independent registered public accounting firm’s liability under Section 11 does not extend to it. | ||
Stock-Based Compensation— On January 1, 2006 we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” which requires that we include an estimate of the fair value of stock-based compensation costs related to stock options in net income. We elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense includes (1) compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and (2) compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. As a result of adopting this standard, we were required to estimate forfeitures, and, if material, record a one-time cumulative effect of a change in accounting principal adjustment. As a result of our estimates, the adoption of this standard did not have a significant effect on our consolidated condensed financial statements and, as such, no adjustment was recorded. Also, in accordance with the modified prospective transition method, our consolidated condensed financial statements for prior periods have not been restated, and do not include the impact of SFAS No. 123R. | ||
Under SFAS No. 123R, we continue to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our stock options. Expected volatility is determined by using historical volatilities based on historical stock prices for a period that matches the expected term. The expected term of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and typically falls between the options’ vesting and contractual expiration dates. The expected term assumption is developed by using historical exercise data adjusted as appropriate for future expectations. The risk-free rate is based on the yield at the date of grant of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond whose maturity period equals the option’s expected term. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant. The following is a summary of valuation assumptions for grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005: |
Grants during the Nine | ||||||||
Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
Valuation Assumptions (1) | 2006 (SFAS 123R) | 2005 (SFAS 123) | ||||||
Expected volatility | 16.9 | % | 51.1 | % | ||||
Expected term | 0.25 | years | 3-7 | years | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.23 | % | 3.38 | % | ||||
Expected dividend yield | 0.0 | % | 0.0 | % |
(1) | The stock option grant during the first quarter of 2006 was a discounted option that was made to provide the recipient with the same value as a grant which he had been advised that he would receive in 1999 but was not awarded at that time due to an oversight. The option was vested at the grant date and had an April 14, 2006 expiration date. Accordingly, the volatility and expected term assumptions in 2006 are not comparable with those calculated for 2005. |

Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
Total stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS No. 123R for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, was $1.8 million and $4.9 million respectively, of which $1.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively, was related to restricted stock plan expense, which we had previously been recognizing. Stock-based compensation expense is included in our consolidated condensed income statement in “General and administration expense.” Unvested stock options at December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006 were 86,417 and 8,334, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under our plans was approximately $32,000 at December 31, 2005 and approximately $6,900 at September 30, 2006, which will be amortized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of six months. The Company had 3,505,599 outstanding and exercisable stock options as of September 30, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of which was $4.5 million, with a weighted average exercise price of $7.31. Unvested restricted stock awards at December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006 were 1,105,000 shares and 1,555,086 shares, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unamortized restricted stock awards was $4.2 million as of December 31, 2005 and $6.6 million as of September 30, 2006. There were 19,885 and 730,895 restricted shares granted (net of forfeitures) to certain officers and key employees during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unamortized restricted stock awards will be amortized over a weighted-average vesting period of approximately one year.
In November 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and consolidated condensed statements of cash flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R. We have elected to adopt the transition method described in FSP 123(R)-3. The tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises and restricted stock vesting totaled $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 which has been reported as a financing cash inflow in the consolidated condensed statement of cash flows. Cash received from option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $6.7 million.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
Stock-Based Compensation (continued) | ||
For periods prior to 2006, we accounted for stock-based compensation plans using the recognition and measurement principles of the Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Under these principles no stock-based employee compensation cost related to stock options granted was reflected in net income, as all options granted under the various plans had exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grants. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, our deferred compensation (contra-equity accounts) related to restricted stock awards granted prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R were eliminated against the appropriate equity accounts (additional paid-in capital) upon adoption. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share as if we had applied the fair value based provisions of SFAS No. 123R for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005: |

2. | Common Stock Offering– In January 2006, we issued 8,900,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a Free Writing Prospectus dated January 17, 2006 and a Prospectus Supplement dated January 18, 2006. On January 23, 2006, we realized $11.23 per share or a total of $99.9 million of net proceeds before expenses, but after underwriter discount, from the offering. |

5. | Disposition of Assets–During the third quarter of 2006, we finalized the sale of our Nigerian Barge Rigs 73 and 75 and related assets and recorded a net gain of $1.8 million in the period. In addition, we realized a cash gain of $1.9 million in connection with the collection of final insurance proceeds with regards to Barge Rig 57 that was damaged in a July 2005 incident while under tow. | |
During the second quarter of 2005, we sold four of our seven rigs and related assets in Colombia and Peru and recognized a gain of $6.7 million. The remaining three rigs were sold in the third quarter of 2005 and we recognized a gain of $5.9 million in the quarter. | ||
Also in June 2005, a well control incident occurred on Rig 255 while operating under contract in Bangladesh, resulting in the total constructive loss of the drilling unit. Net insurance proceeds received in excess of the book value of assets destroyed resulted in a gain of $8.2 million, which was recognized in the second quarter of 2005. We received $7.5 million of the proceeds in the third quarter of 2005 and the remaining proceeds were received in October 2005. |

6. | Income Tax Expense– Income tax expense was $13.2 million for the third quarter of 2006, as compared to income tax expense of $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2005. The $11.0 million increase in taxes was due primarily to the impact of deferred taxes. Net deferred tax expense was not reported during the third quarter of 2005 as the expense from utilizing the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward was offset by the release of the NOL valuation allowance. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we recognized a deferred tax benefit in earnings that fully eliminated our valuation allowance for our federal NOL carryforward. As a result of this accounting treatment, we recognized deferred tax expense in 2006 as the federal NOL carryforward was fully utilized. As of September 30, 2006, we have a deferred tax asset related to state NOL carryforwards of $15.8 million that has a full valuation allowance as management does not currently believe it is more likely than not to be realized. | |

Our current $40.0 million credit facility is available for general corporate purposes and to fund reimbursement obligations under letters of credit the banks issue on our behalf pursuant to this facility. Availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base limitation based on 85 percent of eligible receivables plus a value for eligible rental tools equipment. The credit facility calls for a borrowing base calculation only when the credit facility has outstanding loans, including letters of credit, totaling at least $25.0 million. As of September 30, 2006, there were $27.4 million in letters of credit outstanding and no loans. On March 1, 2006, an amendment was signed to eliminate the $25.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit and to give us the ability to prepay outstanding Senior Notes and Senior Floating Rate Notes without limitation concerning commitments under the credit facility. | ||
On September 8, 2006 we redeemed $50.0 million face value of our Senior Floating Rate Notes pursuant to a redemption notice dated August 8, 2006 at the redemption price of 102.0 percent. Proceeds from the sale of our Nigerian barge rigs and cash on hand were used to fund the redemption. | ||
On February 7, 2005, we redeemed $25.0 million face value of our 10.125% Senior Notes pursuant to a redemption notice dated January 6, 2005 at the redemption price of 105.0625 percent. Proceeds from the sale of jackup Rig 25 and cash on hand were used to fund the redemption. | ||
On April 21, 2005, we issued an additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9.625% Senior Notes due 2013 at a premium. The offering price of 111 percent of the principal amount resulted in gross proceeds of $55.5 million. The $5.5 million premium is reflected as long-term debt and amortized over the term of the notes. The additional notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of October 10, 2003, under which $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes of the same series were previously issued. | ||
On the same date that we issued the $50.0 million additional 9.625% Senior Notes (April 21, 2005), we issued a redemption notice for $65.0 million of our 10.125% Senior Notes at the redemption price of 105.0625 percent. The redemption date was May 21, 2005, and was funded by the net proceeds of the $50.0 million additional 9.625% Senior Notes and cash on hand. | ||
On June 16, 2005, we issued a redemption notice to retire $30.0 million of our 10.125% Senior Notes at the redemption price of 105.0625 percent. The redemption date was July 16, 2005 and was funded with net proceeds from the sale of our Latin America rigs and cash on hand. |

8. | Derivative Instruments– We use derivative instruments to manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations in connection with our $100.0 million Senior Floating Rate Notes. These derivative instruments, which consist of variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps, do not meet the hedge criteria in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and are therefore not designated as hedges. Accordingly, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps is recognized currently in earnings. | |
As of September 30, 2006, we had the following derivative instruments outstanding related to our interest rate swaps, which are included in “Other current assets” and “Other noncurrent assets” as determined by their termination dates. |

Kazakhstan Tax Claims | ||
On October 12, 2005, the Kazakhstan Branch (“PKD Kazakhstan”) of Parker Drilling Company International Limited (“PDCIL”) received an Act of Tax Audit from the Ministry of Finance of Kazakhstan (“MinFin”) assessing PKD Kazakhstan an amount of KZT (Kazakhstan Tenge) 14.9 billion (approximately $117.1 million). Approximately KZT 7.5 billion or $59.3 million was assessed for import Value Added Tax (“VAT”), administrative fines and interest on equipment imported to perform the drilling contracts (the “VAT Assessment”). The VAT Assessment is based on an interpretation by MinFin that resolutions of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan and MinFin removing import VAT exemptions should be applied retroactively. The client of PKD Kazakhstan has agreed to advance PKD Kazakhstan the ultimate amount of any VAT Assessment which PKD Kazakhstan is required to pay, prior to the date such payment is due, and to reimburse PKD Kazakhstan for any increased income taxes arising out of such payment. | ||
In addition to the VAT Assessment, MinFin also assessed approximately KZT 7.4 billion or $57.8 million for corporate income tax, individual income tax and social tax, administrative fines and interest in connection with the reimbursements received from the client for the upgrade of barge Rig 257 and other issues (the “Income Tax Assessment”). The Income Tax Assessment is substantially based on the same reimbursement issue on which PKD Kazakhstan has prevailed in the Supreme Court on two previous occasions. | ||
The VAT and Income Tax Assessments were both appealed to the Astana City Court and on April 6, 2006, the Astana City Court issued an opinion in favor of PKD Kazakhstan on the Income Tax Assessment and in favor of MinFin on the VAT Assessment, but reduced the amount of the VAT Assessment. MinFin and PKD Kazakhstan appealed the decision of the Astana City Court to the Civil Panel of the Supreme Court of Kazakhstan and on May 24, 2006, the Civil Panel of the Supreme Court issued a decision upholding the ruling of the Astana City Court on the VAT Assessment with minor revisions, but reversed the ruling of the Astana City Court on the Income Tax Assessment. | ||
PKD Kazakhstan immediately made application for a stay of execution of the decision relating to the Income Tax Assessment, based on the fact that the Supreme Court has decided this issue in favor of PKD Kazakhstan on two previous occasions and because the decision is inconsistent with the US-Kazakhstan tax treaty, and also requested that the five-member supervisory panel of the Supreme Court grant a supervisory review of the decision. On May 30, 2006, the Supreme Court granted a stay of execution of the decision pending a determination of the five-member panel of the Supreme Court whether or not to grant supervisory review of the decision. Because the execution of the decision has been stayed by the Supreme Court and there is substantial basis to conclude that the decision will not be upheld, the Company has not recorded any accrual for this decision relating to the Income Tax Assessment. |

Kazakhstan Tax Claims(continued) | ||
Based on the revision to the VAT Assessment, the VAT Assessment that is reflected in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” is currently $39.7 million in the consolidated condensed balance sheet and the corresponding receivable from our client is $39.7 million reported in “Other current assets.” Interest included is calculated through September 30, 2006. | ||
The Company continues to pursue its petition with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Treaty Division for Competent Authority review, which is a tax treaty procedure to resolve disputes as to which country may tax income covered under the treaty. The U.S. IRS Treaty Division has granted the Company’s petition, and meetings between the U.S. IRS Treaty Division and MinFin have been scheduled for December 2006. | ||
Bangladesh Claim | ||
In September 2005, a subsidiary of the Company was served with a lawsuit filed on behalf of numerous citizens of Bangladesh claiming $250 million in damages due to various types of property damage and personal injuries ( none involving loss of life ) arising as a result of two blowouts that occurred in Bangladesh in January and June 2005, although only the June 2005 blowout involved the Company. This case was dismissed against the subsidiary of the Company based upon forum non conveniens, a legal defense raised by the subsidiary claiming that Houston, Texas, is not the appropriate location for this suit to be filed. The plaintiffs have appealed this dismissal. | ||
Asbestos-Related Claims | ||
On January 13, 2006, one of our subsidiaries was served with a petition filed in the District Court for the Parish of Jefferson in Louisiana against more than 200 defendants by 88 plaintiffs complaining of exposure to asbestos, chemicals, noise, and metals during their work as Jones Act seamen. This case is in the early stages of discovery to determine whether or not any of the plaintiffs were employed by us or otherwise have any connection with our operations during the relevant period. Although we have not yet received any employer affidavits from plaintiffs that identify Parker Drilling, one Plaintiff’s social security earnings statement indicates that he was employed by our subsidiary in 1971-72. As discovery is ongoing, it remains unclear how many of the plaintiffs will ultimately identify Parker Drilling. The plaintiffs in these cases seek, among other things, awards of unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. | ||
In August 2004, we were notified that certain of our subsidiaries have been named, along with other defendants, in several complaints that have been filed in the Circuit Courts of the State of Mississippi by several hundred persons that allege that they were employed by some of the named defendants between approximately 1965 and 1986. The complaints name as defendants numerous other companies that are not affiliated with us, including companies that allegedly manufactured drilling related products containing asbestos that are the subject of the complaints. | ||
The complaints allege that our subsidiaries and other drilling contractors used asbestos-containing products in offshore drilling operations, land-based drilling operations and in drilling structures, drilling rigs, vessels and other equipment and assert claims based on, among other things, negligence and strict liability and claims under the Jones Act. Based on the report of the special master, these complaints have been severed and venue of the claims transferred to the county in which the plaintiff resides or the county in which the cause of action allegedly accrued. Subsequent to the filing of amended complaints, Parker has joined with other co-defendants in filing motions to compel discovery to determine what plaintiffs have an employment relationship with which defendant, including whether or not any plaintiffs have an employment relationship with subsidiaries of the Company. Out of 528 amended single-plaintiff complaints filed to date, eleven plaintiffs have identified Parker Drilling or one of its affiliates as a defendant. |

Asbestos-Related Claims(continued) | ||
The subsidiaries named in these asbestos-related lawsuits intend to defend themselves vigorously and, based on the information available to the Company at this time, the Company does not expect the outcome of these lawsuits to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits. | ||
10. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements– FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FAS 109,” was issued in June 2006 and calls for an initial determination that a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained. The provisions of this statement are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently analyzing the provisions of this standard and has not yet made a determination of the impact, if any, this statement will have upon adoption. | |
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes methods used to measure fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal periods. The Company is currently analyzing the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to determine the impact, if any, upon adoption. | ||
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108), which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 requires that the materiality of the effect of a misstated amount be evaluated on each financial statement and the related financial statement disclosures and that materiality evaluation be based on quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact. | ||
11. | Parent, Guarantor, Non-Guarantor Unaudited Consolidating Condensed Financial Statements– Set forth on the following pages are the unaudited consolidating condensed financial statements of (i) Parker Drilling, (ii) our restricted subsidiaries that are guarantors of the Senior Notes and (iii) our restricted and unrestricted subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Senior Notes. All of our Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the restricted subsidiaries of Parker Drilling. There are currently no restrictions on the ability of the restricted subsidiaries to transfer funds to Parker Drilling in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Parker Drilling is a holding company with no operations, other than through its subsidiaries. | |
The non-guarantor subsidiaries are AralParker (a Kazakhstan closed joint stock company, owned 50 percent by Parker Drilling (Kazakstan), Ltd. and 50 percent by Aralnedra, CJSC), Casuarina Limited (a wholly-owned captive insurance company), KDN Drilling Limited, Mallard Drilling of South America, Inc., Mallard Drilling of Venezuela, Inc., Parker Drilling Investment Company, Parker Drilling (Nigeria) Limited, Parker Drilling Company (Bolivia) S.A., Parker Drilling Company Kuwait Limited, Parker Drilling Company Limited (Bahamas), Parker Drilling Company of New Zealand Limited, Parker Drilling Company of Sakhalin, Parker Drilling de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., Parker Drilling International of New Zealand Limited, Parker Drilling Tengiz, Ltd., Parker-TNK-Drilling, PD Servicios Integrales, S. de R.L. de C.V., PKD Sales Corporation, Parker SMNG Drilling Limited Liability Company (owned 50 percent by Parker Drilling Company International, LLC), Parker Drilling Asia Pacific, LLC, Parker Drilling Kazakhstan B.V., Parker Drilling AME Limited, Parker Drillsource, LLC, Parker 3source, LLC, Parker Enex, LLC, Parker Hungary Rig Holdings Limited Liability Company, Parker 5272, LLC, Parker Drilling Spain Rig Services, SL, Parker Cyprus Leasing Limited, Parker Cyprus Ventures Limited, PD International Holdings C.V., PD Dutch Holdings C.V., PD Offshore Holdings C.V. and PD Selective Holdings C.V. We are providing unaudited consolidating condensed financial information of the parent, Parker Drilling, the guarantor subsidiaries, and the non-guarantor subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The condensed consolidating financial statements present investments in both consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. | ||
In addition, the consolidating condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 reflects adjustments in the amount of $65.0 million in the guarantor column and $7.2 million in the non-guarantor column to reduce the amount of property, plant and equipment balance from that which was previously reported to correct an overstatement of “step-up” in basis of assets that were transferred between wholly-owned subsidiaries in prior years. Retained earnings (accumulated deficit) in the guarantor and non-guarantor columns were adjusted by the same amounts, reflecting the reduction of the associated accumulated gains that were reported in 2004 and the prior years. Adjustments were also made to reduce the corresponding amounts in the eliminations column. These adjustments had no impact on the consolidated totals. The Company will correct the presentation of the 2004 statement of operations to eliminate the gain in the guarantor and non-guarantor columns in that period in its 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Parker Drilling Company
Parker Drilling Company
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of Parker Drilling Company and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006 and the related consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended; management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005; and in our report dated March 6, 2006, we expressed unqualified opinions thereon. The consolidated financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting referred to above are not presented herein. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
DISCLOSURE NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q contains statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements contained in this Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions, including any statements regarding:
• | stability of prices and demand for oil and natural gas; | ||
• | levels of oil and natural gas exploration and production activities; | ||
• | demand for contract drilling and drilling related services and demand for rental tools; | ||
• | our future operating results and profitability; | ||
• | our future rig utilization, dayrates and rental tools activity; | ||
• | entering into new, or extending existing, drilling contracts and our expectations concerning when our rigs will commence operations under such contracts; | ||
• | growth through acquisitions of companies or assets; | ||
• | entering into joint venture agreements with local companies; | ||
• | our future capital expenditures and investments in the acquisition and refurbishment of rigs and equipment; | ||
• | our future liquidity; | ||
• | availability and sources of funds to reduce our debt and expectations of when debt will be reduced; | ||
• | the outcome of pending and future legal proceedings, tax assessments and other claims; | ||
• | our recovery of insurance proceeds with respect to any damages to our assets; | ||
• | the availability of insurance coverage for pending or future claims; | ||
• | the enforceability of contractual indemnification in relation to pending or future claims; | ||
• | compliance with covenants under our senior credit facility and indentures for our senior notes; and | ||
• | expansion and growth of our operations. |
In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “outlook,” “may,” “should,” “will” and “would” or similar words. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of their experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe are relevant. Although our management believes that their assumptions are reasonable based on information currently available, those assumptions are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. The following factors, as well as any other cautionary language included in this Form 10-Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our “forward-looking statements”:
• | worldwide economic and business conditions that adversely affect market conditions and/or the cost of doing business; | ||
• | the U.S. economy and the demand for natural gas; | ||
• | fluctuations in the market prices of oil and gas; | ||

DISCLOSURE NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS(continued)
Each “forward-looking statement” speaks only as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Before you decide to invest in our securities, you should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
OUTLOOK AND OVERVIEW
Results for the third quarter of 2006 reflected the continued increase in dayrates and stable utilization in our U.S. drilling operations and high demand for our rental tools business. Sustained energy demand have kept domestic drilling activity at peak levels, allowing us to generate strong results as we transition our longer-term international contracts to current market prices. During the third quarter, we recommitted five land rigs to new contracts at significantly higher dayrates. These contracts should be on line to contribute during the fourth quarter and throughout 2007.
Two of our new 2,000 HP rigs under construction are scheduled to mobilize in the fourth quarter for their three-year contracts for Sonatrach in Algeria and are expected to be generating revenue in the first quarter of 2007. Our new, ultra deep drilling barge (Rig 77) is expected to spud as early as December 2006.
In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, dayrates for drilling barges rose for the thirteenth consecutive quarter and more than offset a slight decline in utilization of U.S. assets due to shipyard time for barge upgrades and scheduled maintenance. There is a continuing backlog for our barge rigs, with eight of our drilling barges, including Rig 77, secured under term contracts. We currently anticipate these market conditions to continue well into 2007.
Our rental tools business had yet another record quarter, spurred in part by our 2006 capital expansion focused on additional rental tool inventory, new customers and increased market penetration. Our new 48,000 square-foot facility in East Texas remains on schedule to open in early 2007 and will serve East Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas markets.
In our international operations, market conditions are giving us the ability to secure new long-term commitments for existing and new-build rigs. We have entered into new contracts at significantly increased dayrates for four of the seven land rigs that formerly operated in Mexico. Two have long-term commitments in Colombia, one of which began generating revenue in late October 2006. The second rig has mobilized and is expected to begin operations in late November. Two of the rigs have long-term commitments for work in the U.S. land market, one of which began drilling in July, with the second rigging up for operation by late November 2006. The remaining rigs are currently being marketed and expected to return to work in the fourth quarter and into 2007 at significantly higher dayrates.
In our CIS region, Rig 236 began mobilizing to Kazakhstan in the third quarter under a one-year contract. The final rig under our Tengizchevroil (“TCO”) contract was released in October as contract wells were completed ahead of schedule. Numerous projects are pending, however, in Kazakhstan, Russia and throughout the region. Our two five-year operations and maintenance (“O&M”) projects on Sakhalin Island in Russia have continued at full operation throughout 2006.
In our Asia Pacific region, six of nine land rigs operated all quarter, with an additional two rigs in Indonesia in operation during parts of the third quarter. We also have four O&M contracts on contractor-owned rigs. In New Zealand, all three of our rigs operated for the whole quarter, with one rig released in mid-October that is expected to return to work in the near future. Operations in Papua New Guinea remain strong, with both of our rigs under new contracts that extend through 2007.
In our Africa Middle East region, in addition to the new rigs being constructed for Algeria, we completed the sale of our Nigerian barge rigs in early August. The four rigs under construction for our Saudi Arabia project are scheduled for mobilization in the first quarter of 2007 and will begin operation under contract with Saudi Aramco at various times throughout 2007.
At September 30, 2006 we had approximately $172.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We have spent $129.0 million on capital expenditures through September 30, 2006. We expect to spend another $90.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2006 on capital projects currently under way, although these expenditures may carryover into 2007. The additional expenditures will be funded through cash flows from operations and existing cash.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(continued)
U.S. Drilling Segment
Revenues for the U.S. drilling segment, which consists of 19 barge rigs and 1 land rig during the three months ended September 30, 2006, increased $18.5 million to $52.3 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increased revenues were primarily due to higher dayrates for drilling and workover barges and addition of Rig 122 on Padre Island, Texas, which previously worked in Mexico. These increases were offset slightly by fewer operating days primarily for Rigs 50 and 54, which were undergoing scheduled preventive maintenance and upgrades.
As a result of approximately 60 percent higher dayrates and effective operating cost controls, gross margins in the U.S. drilling segment increased $12.7 million to $31.4 million. Gross margin percentage increased from 55 percent during the third quarter of 2005 to 60 percent during the third quarter of 2006.
International Drilling Segment
International drilling revenues decreased $8.5 million to $61.6 million during the third quarter of 2006 as compared to the third quarter of 2005. Of this decrease, $6.4 million related to international land drilling revenues and $2.1 million to revenues from offshore operations. The decline in land revenues relates primarily to completion of our Mexico contracts and release of rigs under our Tengizchevroil (“TCO”) contract in Kazakhstan due to early completion of wells.
Overall, land revenues in the CIS decreased by $1.8 million due to the TCO contract decline ($5.7 million) and to the release of our three rigs in Turkmenistan ($2.3 million) during the quarter. Revenues in all other areas in the CIS region increased by $6.2 million. In Russia we had a $2.7 million increase in revenues related to the Orlan O&M contract which was not fully operational until September 2005 and a $2.4 million increase on our Rig 262 O&M contract due to higher dayrates and additional services provided to our customer. In the Karachaganak area of Kazakhstan, revenues increased by $1.2 million as a result of higher dayrates and the addition of Rig 107 (which was released in late December 2005 from the TCO contract) which spud in Karachaganak at the end of March.
In our Asia Pacific region, revenues increased by $7.4 million to $21.1 million for the third quarter of 2006. The increase in Papua New Guinea of $4.3 million is the result of full operations under two O&M contracts during the entire third quarter in 2006, whereas they were operating at reduced maintenance rates in the third quarter of 2005 with full O&M operations not commencing until the third quarter of 2005. Also contributing to the increase was a dayrate increase on Rig 226 and a third O&M contract that began in June. Revenues in Bangladesh increased $2.6 million due to Rig 225 commencing operations in early 2006. Revenues in New Zealand increased $0.7 million as Rig 188 was mobilized under its new contract in early July.
Gross margin for international land operations decreased by $7.2 million, due primarily to the transitioning out of Mexico, TCO completion of drilling operations, the release of rigs in Turkmenistan, and shifting of Rig 122 revenue to U.S. operations, which offset increases from other operations. In the CIS region, our Rig 262 O&M contract gross margin increased by $0.4 million as we earned higher dayrates and provided additional services. Gross margin also increased $0.5 million on our Orlan platform O&M contract as we had full operation in the third quarter of 2006 versus commissioning phase status in the third quarter of 2005.
International offshore revenues declined $2.1 million to $13.5 million during the third quarter of 2006 as compared to the third quarter of 2005. This decrease was due primarily to force majeure rates for our Nigerian operations as we had been evacuated from the rigs due to violence in the area for most of the year, prior to the sale of the rigs in the third quarter of 2006, versus operating rates that were in effect in 2005. Revenues for Rig 53 in Mexico increased $0.7 million due to higher dayrates. Gross margins for international offshore operations decreased $0.4 million as a result of the costs for the closing down of our Nigerian operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(continued)
Rental Tools Segment
Rental tools revenues increased $8.9 million to $32.8 million during the third quarter of 2006 as compared to the third quarter of 2005. The increase was due primarily to an increase in our Texas operations of $5.2 million, $1.9 million from our Wyoming operations and $2.1 million from our New Iberia, Louisiana operations.
Revenues increased primarily due to higher demand and higher rental tool sales. Rental tools gross margins increased $6.9 million to $20.5 million for the current quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2005. Gross margin percentage increased to 62 percent in the current quarter as compared to 57 percent in the comparable period in 2005.
Other Financial Data
Gain on asset dispositions was down by $1.6 million, due to the gain on the sale of the three remaining rigs in Latin America in the third quarter of 2005 as compared to the gain on the sale of two rigs in Nigeria in 2006 and on insurance proceeds relating to Rig 57 damages sustained in 2005. Interest expense declined $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2006 as compared to the third quarter of 2005 due to lower outstanding debt and capitalization of $1.0 million in interest on rig construction projects in 2006. Interest income increased $2.0 million due to a higher cash balance in the third quarter of 2006 as compared to 2005, as a result of proceeds from our stock offering in January 2006, higher cash flow from operations, and higher interest rates. General and administration expense increased approximately $1.6 million to $8.0 million during the third quarter of 2006. The increase is attributable primarily to higher payroll-related costs.
In 2004, we entered into two variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements, which are still outstanding. The swap agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting and accordingly, we are reporting the mark-to-market change in the fair value of the interest rate derivatives currently in earnings. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized a $1.0 million decrease in the fair value of the derivative positions and for the three months ended September 30, 2005 we recognized a $1.5 million increase in the fair value of the derivative positions. For additional information see Note 8 in the notes to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.
Income tax expense was $13.2 million for the third quarter of 2006 as compared to $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2005. The $11.0 million increase in taxes during the third quarter of 2006 was due primarily to the impact of deferred tax. Net deferred tax expense was not reported during the third quarter of 2005 as the expense from utilizing the NOL carryforward was offset by the release of the NOL valuation allowance. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we recognized a deferred tax benefit in earnings that fully eliminated our valuation allowance for our federal NOL carryforward. As a result of this accounting treatment, we recognized deferred tax expense in 2006 as the federal NOL carryforward was utilized.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
We recorded net income of $43.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to net income of $42.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Drilling and rental operating income was $124.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $87.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Gain on disposition of assets was $6.9 million for the 2006 period as compared to $22.4 million for the 2005 period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(continued)
U.S. Drilling Segment
Revenues for the U.S. drilling segment increased $43.2 million to $135.3 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increased revenues were primarily due to higher dayrates, offset slightly by fewer operating days for Barge Rig 12, which was undergoing an upgrade from workover to deep drilling status until late May, and maintenance and upgrade time for Barge Rigs 54 and 50.
As a result of approximately 54 percent higher dayrates and effective operating cost controls, gross margins in the U.S. drilling segment increased $33.4 million to $77.1 million. Gross margin percentage increased from 47 percent during the first nine months of 2005 to 57 percent during the first nine months of 2006.
International Drilling Segment
International drilling revenues decreased $6.2 million to $214.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Of this decrease, $1.0 million related to lower international land drilling revenues and $5.2 million to offshore operations.
The international land drilling revenues decrease is attributable to completion of contract wells in Mexico ($21.6 million) and reduction of operations on our TCO contract ($13.2 million) and to the sale of rigs in Colombia and Peru ($6.3 million) during the second and third quarters of 2005. These decreases were partially offset by increases in other international land regions.
The increase in revenues of $10.1 million in our CIS region is due to increased revenues on our Orlan platform O&M contract of $16.0 million, including a reimbursable revenues increase of $7.6 million. This project was in commissioning phase during the first nine months of 2005 and has been fully operational in 2006. Revenues also increased $5.9 million on our Rig 262 Sakhalin Island O&M contract as dayrates and services provided both increased. In the Karachaganak area of Kazakhstan, revenues increased by $2.5 million due to the addition of Rig 107 in 2006, which began drilling in late March. Revenues declined $13.2 million on our TCO project as wells were completed and two rigs released, including Rig 107, which was redeployed in the Karachaganak area.
The increase of $12.2 million in Papua New Guinea is the result of the operation of two full O&M contracts for the nine months in 2006, whereas they were labor contracts in 2005 with full O&M operations not commencing until late in the third quarter of 2005, and the addition of a third O&M contact in June 2006. Also, Rig 140 has drilled all of 2006, whereas it did not drill in 2005, and we negotiated a rate increase on Rig 226 effective June 2006. In Indonesia, increased revenues were due to higher utilization as two rigs have operated most of 2006, whereas the rigs were on reduced rates until June in 2005. Revenues in Bangladesh increased due to operation of Rig 225 in 2006. Revenues were down $2.0 million in New Zealand due primarily to lower reimbursable revenues relating to Rig 188 which was idle during the second quarter of 2006.
Gross margin for our international land operations decreased by $9.2 million due to the completion of contracts in Mexico, decreased drilling operations at TCO, and as a result of the sale of rigs in Peru and Colombia in the second and third quarters of 2005. Gross margins on our O&M contracts in the CIS increased by $5.3 million. Gross margins increased $2.9 million in Papua New Guinea, where we had higher dayrates for Rig 226, increased contributions from O&M contracts and operation of Rig 140 in 2006.
International offshore revenues declined $5.2 million to $41.1 million during 2006 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This decrease was due primarily to our Rig 257 operation in the Caspian Sea, where we had a $1.8 million decline in mobilization revenue from 2005 to 2006, lower dayrates under contract extension terms in 2006 and the force majeure rates incurred on our Nigerian barge rigs during 2006.

Rental Tools Segment
Rental tools revenues increased $20.9 million to $90.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. Revenues increased at all U.S. locations.
The revenues increased primarily due to higher demand and higher rental rates. Rental tools gross margins increased $14.7 million to $56.6 million for the current nine-month period as compared to 2005.
Other Financial Data
Gain on disposition of assets was $6.9 million during the nine months ended September 2006, relating primarily to the final settlement and site clean up recovery of insurance proceeds related to the loss of Rig 255 in Bangladesh in June 2005, the sale of the two Nigerian barge rigs during the current quarter and on insurance proceeds relating to Rig 57 damages sustained in 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, gain on disposition of assets was $22.4 million which included the gain on the loss of Rig 255 in Bangladesh of $8.2 million and the gain on the sale of rigs in Latin America of $12.3 million. Interest expense declined $6.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005 due to the capitalization of $2.0 million of interest related to new rig construction and to lower debt outstanding. Loss on extinguishment of debt declined by $4.7 million, as a result of the significant reduction of debt in 2005. Interest income increased $4.7 million due to a higher cash balance in 2006 as compared to 2005, due primarily to proceeds from the stock offering in January 2006, higher cash flow from operations, and higher interest rates. General and administration expense increased approximately $3.5 million in the first nine months of 2006 due primarily to higher payroll related costs.
In 2004, we entered into two variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements, which are still outstanding. The swap agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting and accordingly, we are reporting the mark-to-market change in the fair value of the interest rate derivatives currently in earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized a $0.2 million increase in the fair value of the derivative positions and a $1.5 million increase in fair value during the first nine months of 2005. For additional information see Note 8 in the notes to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.
Income tax expense was $42.4 million for the first nine months of 2006 as compared to $10.5 million for the first nine months of 2005. The $31.9 million increase in taxes during the first nine months of 2006 was due primarily to the impact of deferred tax. Net deferred tax expense was not reported during the nine months ended 2005 as the expense from utilizing the NOL carryforward was offset by the release of the NOL valuation allowance. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we recognized a deferred tax benefit in earnings that fully eliminated our valuation allowance for our federal NOL carryforward. As a result of this accounting treatment, we recognized deferred tax expense in 2006 as the federal NOL carryforward was utilized. Current foreign tax expense for the first nine months of 2006 was $8.5 million, as compared to current foreign tax expense of $9.7 million for the first nine months of 2005.

On September 8, 2006 we redeemed $50.0 million face value of our Senior Floating Rate Notes pursuant to a redemption notice dated August 8, 2006 at the redemption price of 102.0 percent. Proceeds from the sale of our Nigerian barge rigs and cash on hand were used to fund the redemption.
On January 18, 2006 we issued 8,900,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to a Free Writing Prospectus dated January 17, 2006 and a Prospectus Supplement dated January 18, 2006. On January 23, 2006, we realized $11.23 per share or a total of $99.9 million of net proceeds before expenses, but after underwriter discount, from the offering. Proceeds from this offering are being used for capital expansions, including rig upgrades, new rig construction and expansion of our rental tools business.
Our current $40.0 million credit facility is available for general corporate purposes and to fund reimbursement obligations under letters of credit the banks issue on our behalf pursuant to this facility. Availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base limitation based on 85 percent of eligible receivables plus a value for eligible rental tools equipment. The credit facility calls for a borrowing base calculation only when the credit facility has outstanding loans, including letters of credit, totaling at least $25.0 million. As of September 30, 2006, there were $27.4 million in letters of credit outstanding and no loans. On March 1, 2006, an amendment was signed to eliminate the $25.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit and to give us the ability to call outstanding Senior Notes and Senior Floating Rate Notes without limitation concerning commitments, including letters of credit, under the credit facility.
On February 7, 2005, we redeemed $25.0 million face value of our 10.125% Senior Notes pursuant to a redemption notice dated January 6, 2005 at the redemption price of 105.0625 percent. Proceeds from the sale of jackup Rig 25 and cash on hand were used to fund the redemption.
On April 21, 2005, we issued an additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9.625% Senior Notes due 2013 at a premium. The offering price of 111 percent of the principal amount resulted in gross proceeds of $55.5 million. The $5.5 million premium is reflected as long-term debt and amortized over the term of the notes. The additional notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of October 10, 2003, under which $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes of the same series were previously issued.

Financing Activity(continued)
On the same date that we issued the $50.0 million additional 9.625% Senior Notes (April 21, 2005), we issued a redemption notice for $65.0 million of our 10.125% Senior Notes at the redemption price of 105.0625 percent. The redemption date was May 21, 2005, and was funded by the net proceeds of the $50.0 million additional 9.625% Senior Notes and cash on hand.
On June 16, 2005, we issued a redemption notice to retire $30.0 million of our 10.125% Senior Notes at the redemption price of 105.0625 percent. The redemption date was July 16, 2005 and was funded with net proceeds from the sale of our Latin America rigs and cash on hand.
On December 30, 2005, we redeemed in full the outstanding $35.6 million face value of our 10.125% Senior Notes pursuant to a redemption notice dated November 30, 2005 at the redemption price of 103.375 percent. The redemption was funded with cash on hand.
We had total long-term debt of $329.5 million as of September 30, 2006. The long-term debt included:
• | $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Floating Rate Notes bearing interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 4.75%, which are due September 1, 2010; and | ||
• | $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Notes, which are due October 1, 2013 plus an associated $4.5 million in unamortized debt premium. |
As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately $184.9 million of liquidity. This liquidity was comprised of $172.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand and $12.6 million of availability under the revolving credit facility. We do not have any unconsolidated special-purpose entities, off-balance-sheet financing arrangements or guarantees of third-party financial obligations. We have no energy or commodity contracts.

(1) | Long-term debt includes the principal and interest cash obligations of the 9.625% Senior Notes but the remaining unamortized premium of $4.5 million is not included in the contractual cash obligations schedule. A portion of the interest on the Senior Floating Rate Notes has been fixed through variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements. The issuer (Bank of America, N.A.) of each swap has the option to extend each swap for an additional two years at the termination of the initial swap period. For the purpose of this table, the highest interest rate currently hedged is used in calculating the interest on future floating rate periods. | |
(2) | Operating leases consist of lease agreements in excess of one year for office space, equipment, vehicles and personal property. | |
(3) | We have purchase commitments outstanding as of September 30, 2006, related to rig upgrade projects and new rig construction. | |
(4) | We have a $40.0 million revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2006, no amounts have been drawn down, but $27.4 million of availability has been used to support letters of credit that have been issued, resulting in an estimated $12.6 million of availability. The revolving credit facility expires in December 2007. |

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We use derivative instruments to manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations in connection with our $100.0 million Senior Floating Rate Notes. These derivative instruments, which consist of two variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps, do not meet the hedge criteria in SFAS No. 133 and are therefore not designated as hedges. Accordingly, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps is recognized currently in earnings.
As of September 30, 2006, we had the following derivative instruments outstanding related to our interest rate swaps, which are included in “Other noncurrent assets”:

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures –We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. We performed evaluations under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2006. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at September 30, 2006.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting– There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
