inherently uncertain and subject to a variety of assumptions,
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those currently anticipated or expected by
management of the Company. A discussion of the risk factors and
other considerations that could materially impact these matters
as well as the Companys overall business and financial
performance can be found in the Companys reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and readers of this report
are urged to review those reports carefully when considering
these forward-looking statements. These risk factors include,
among others, risks associated with worldwide demand for drilling
services, level of activity in the oil and gas industry, renewing
or replacing expired or terminated contracts, contract
cancellations and terminations, maintenance and realization of
backlog, competition and industry fleet capacity, impairments and
retirements, operating risks, changes in tax laws and rates,
regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental
regulations,

construction of new builds, casualty
losses and various other factors, many of which are beyond the
Companys control. Given these risk factors and other
considerations, investors and analysts should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking
statement speaks only as of the date of such statement, and the
Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to
release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking
statement to reflect any change in the Companys expectations with
regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is
based.
