BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES General Dual Holding Company ("Dual" or the "Company") is a domestic and international offshore drilling contractor. The Company currently owns or operates a fleet of 16 offshore drilling rigs, consisting of eight jackup rigs and eight platform rigs. The Company's strategy is to market and operate quality jackup and platform drilling rigs in geographically diverse markets. On June 12, 1996, the Company was acquired by ENSCO International Incorporated ("ENSCO") in a purchase acquisition (the "Merger"), and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ENSCO on that date. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company was formerly known as DUAL DRILLING COMPANY prior to the Merger. From 1990 to 1993, the Company was wholly-owned by Dual Invest AS ("Dual Invest"), a Norwegian corporation. In August 1993, the Company completed an initial public offering of shares of its common stock, which reduced Dual Invest's ownership interest in the Company to approximately 59.6% of the Company's outstanding common stock. In June 1997, the Company sold its 49% interest in a jointly-owned jackup rig to ENSCO and in December 1997 sold another jackup rig to ENSCO. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Contract Drilling Operations The Company's fleet of 16 offshore drilling rigs are located in North America and the Asia Pacific region. At December 31, 1997, the Company's North America drilling rigs consist of three jackup rigs and seven platform rigs located in the Gulf of Mexico. The Company's Asia Pacific jackup rigs consist of two jackup rigs located offshore Qatar, one offshore Malaysia and two in a shipyard in Singapore undergoing modifications and enhancements. The Company operates one platform rig off the coast of China, which is not owned but managed by the Company. Financial information regarding the Company's geographic operations is presented in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Additional financial information regarding the Company's operations is presented in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Jackup Rigs Jackup rigs are mobile self-elevating drilling platforms equipped with legs that can be lowered to the ocean floor to provide a foundation for supporting a drilling platform and to allow the drilling platform to be elevated above the water. The entire drilling platform is self-contained with the rig hull incorporating the drilling equipment and derrick, the jacking system for the legs, crew quarters, storage and loading facilities, helicopter landing pad and related equipment. All of the Company's jackup rigs are of the independent leg design which are the most versatile and can accommodate most drilling sites on which a jackup rig can be used. Platform Rigs A platform rig consists of drilling equipment and machinery arranged in modular packages which are transported to, assembled, and then installed on fixed offshore platforms owned by the customer. Fixed offshore platforms are steel tower-like structures which stand on the ocean floor, with the top portion, or platform, being above the water level and providing the foundation upon which the platform rig is placed. A self-contained platform rig contains living quarters for the crew, power generating units, and facilities for storing drilling fluid and well tubular supplies to sustain drilling operations between resupplyings. Contracts The drilling services provided by the Company are conducted on a contract basis. The Company generally provides services on a "daywork" basis. Under daywork contracts, the Company receives a fixed amount per day for drilling the well and the customer bears a major portion of the out-of-pocket costs of drilling. The customer may pay the cost of moving the equipment to and from the job site and assembling and dismantling the equipment. Effective June 13, 1996, the Company's domestic drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico were bareboat chartered to a wholly-owned subsidiary of ENSCO to achieve operating and marketing efficiencies. The terms of the bareboat charter agreements provide for fixed daily rates to be paid to the Company, which the Company believes are reasonable and representative of the environment in which the rigs operate. Each respective bareboat charter rate is increased for any capital expenditures made by the Company for a chartered rig and the rate is reduced to 50% of the normal rate if a rig is idle for more than 30 consecutive days. The bareboat charter agreements provide for automatic yearly extensions but may be terminated with one month's prior notice. At December 31, 1997, the Company had three jackup rigs and seven platform rigs under bareboat charter to ENSCO. Major Customers The Company's customer base consists of ENSCO, major international oil and gas companies, independent oil and gas companies and government-owned oil and gas companies. In 1997, the Company's customers which individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company's consolidated revenues consisted of ENSCO (32%), Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (20%), Maersk Oil Qatar AS (20%) and Petronas Carigali Sdn. Bhd. (11%). Industry Conditions and Competition The market for offshore drilling services is largely determined by the supply of and demand for equipment. From the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, demand for offshore drilling equipment was generally flat, while the over supply of offshore drilling rigs gradually decreased, primarily due to attrition. Between 1994 and the end of 1997, demand has steadily improved and, as a result, day rates and utilization for offshore drilling rigs have increased. Technological advancements, such as three dimensional seismic, extended reach drilling, and multilateral drilling techniques, have improved the economics of finding and developing oil and gas reserves. As a result, oil companies have increased their exploration and production budgets, which has led to increased demand for offshore drilling services. Nearly all actively marketed offshore drilling rigs in the world are currently under contract, and the demand for high quality rigs exceeds supply in many markets. The contract drilling business is highly competitive and Dual competes with other drilling contractors on the basis of quality of service, price, equipment suitability and availability, reputation and technical expertise. Competition is usually on a regional basis, but drilling rigs are mobile and may be moved from one region to another in response to demand. Drilling operations are generally conducted throughout the year with some seasonal declines in winter months. Governmental Regulation The Company's business is affected by political developments and by federal, state, foreign and local laws and regulations that relate directly to the oil and gas industry. The industry is also affected by changing tax laws, price controls and other laws affecting the energy business. The adoption of laws and regulations curtailing exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic, environmental or other policy reasons adversely affects the Company's operations by limiting available drilling and other opportunities in the energy service industry, as well as increasing the costs of operations. The Company and its rigs are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to engineering, design, structural, safety and operational and inspection standards. Environmental Matters The Company's operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations controlling the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. Laws and regulations specifically applicable to the Company's business activities could impose significant liability on the Company for damages, clean-up costs and penalties in the event of the occurrence of oil spills or similar discharges of pollutants into the environment in the course of the Company's operations, although, to date, such laws and regulations have not had a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, nor has the Company experienced an accident that has exposed it to material liability for discharges of pollutants into the environment. In addition, events in recent years have heightened environmental concerns about the oil and gas industry in general. From time to time, legislative proposals have been introduced which would materially limit or prohibit offshore drilling in certain areas. To date, no proposals which would materially limit or prohibit offshore drilling in the Company's principal areas of operation have been enacted into law. If laws are enacted or other governmental action is taken that restrict or prohibit offshore drilling in the Company's areas of operation or impose environmental protection requirements that materially increase the cost of offshore exploration, development or production of oil and gas, the Company could be materially adversely affected. The United States Oil Pollution Act of 1990 ("OPA 90") and similar legislation in Texas, Louisiana and other coastal states address oil spill prevention and control and significantly expand liability exposure across all segments of the oil and gas industry. OPA 90, such similar legislation and related regulations impose a variety of obligations on the Company related to the prevention of oil spills and the liability for resulting damages. OPA 90 imposes strict and, with limited exceptions, joint and several liability upon each responsible party for oil removal costs and a variety of damages. OPA 90 imposes ongoing financial responsibility requirements. A failure to comply with OPA 90 may subject a party to civil or criminal enforcement action. Operational Risks and Insurance Contract drilling and oil and gas operations are subject to various risks including blowouts, craterings, fires and explosions, each of which could result in damage to or destruction of drilling rigs and oil and gas wells, personal injury and property damage, suspension of operations or environmental damage through oil spillage or extensive, uncontrolled fires. The Company generally insures its drilling rigs for amounts not less than the estimated fair market value thereof. The Company also maintains liability insurance coverage in amounts and scope which the Company believes are comparable to the levels of coverage carried by other energy service companies. To date, the Company has not experienced difficulty in obtaining insurance coverage. While the Company believes its insurance coverages are customary for the energy service industry, the occurrence of a significant event not fully insured against could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Also, there can be no assurance that any particular insurance claim will be paid or that the Company will be able to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future. International Operations A significant portion of the Company's operations are conducted in foreign countries. Revenues from international operations were 67% of the Company's total revenues in 1997. The Company's international operations are subject to political, economic, and other uncertainties, such as the risks of expropriation of its equipment, expropriation of a customer's property or drilling rights, repudiation of contracts, adverse tax policies, general hazards associated with international sovereignty over certain areas in which the Company operates and fluctuations in international economies. The Company's international operations also face the risk of fluctuating currency values and exchange controls. Occasionally the countries in which the Company operates have enacted exchange controls. Historically, the Company has been able to limit these risks by obtaining compensation in U.S. dollars or freely convertible international currency, and to the extent possible, by limiting acceptance of foreign currency to amounts which match its expenditure requirements in such currencies. The Company currently has operations in Asian countries that have experienced substantial devaluations of their currency compared to the U.S. dollar over the last several months. However, as the Company's drilling contracts stipulate payment in U.S. dollars, the Company has experienced no significant losses due to the devaluation of such currencies. Other Properties Prior to the Merger the Company leased office space for its corporate headquarters in Dallas, Texas. This space is no longer occupied by the Company and has been sublet under the lease agreement which extends through February 1999. The Company leases minimal office and materials storage space in India, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. Employees As of December 31, 1997, the Company had no employees. In connection with the Merger, all of the Company's employees who were retained became employees of ENSCO. The Company has a Master Services Agreement with ENSCO for shorebase and corporate support services under which the Company pays ENSCO a monthly fee of $400,000 for accounting, treasury, human resources, engineering, insurance administration, management information systems, purchasing, safety and legal services. Either party may cancel this agreement upon 30 days notice. In addition, ENSCO provides contract labor for all of the Company's international drilling rigs at cost. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is currently not involved in any litigation which, in the opinion of management, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS Not required under the reduced disclosure format. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS All of the common stock of the Company is owned by ENSCO. The shares were acquired by ENSCO on June 12, 1996 as a result of the Merger in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to section 4(2) thereof. As such, there is no established public trading market for the Company's common stock. The Company has never declared any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to pay dividends is restricted by certain provisions contained in the indenture to which its publicly traded notes were issued. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. ITEM 6. SELECTED HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONS DATA Not required under the reduced disclosure format. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The information presented herein is only intended to present a narrative analysis of material changes in operating results and financial position between fiscal years 1997 and 1996. This reduced analysis is in accordance with the reduced disclosure format set forth in General Instruction I(1)(a) and (b). GENERAL The Company owns offshore drilling rigs which are contracted for use in the Gulf of Mexico and the Asia Pacific region. Worldwide drilling activity increased significantly in 1997 as compared to 1996 with current demand absorbing substantially all of the rigs that are in working condition and being actively marketed in the major offshore drilling markets throughout the world. MERGER On June 12, 1996, the Company was acquired by ENSCO. The Merger was approved on that date by the stockholders of the Company who received 0.625 shares of ENSCO common stock (1.25 shares adjusted for the two-for-one split of ENSCO's common stock effective September 15, 1997) for each share of the Company's common stock. The Company's stockholders of record as of June 12, 1996 received, in the aggregate, approximately 10.1 million shares of ENSCO common stock (20.1 million shares post split) valued at approximately $218.4 million. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company charged $22.0 million against operating results for certain items. These items included compensation paid in the ordinary course of business as well as other costs directly related to the Merger. These expenses are included as Change in Control expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the period January 1, 1996 to June 12, 1996. See Note 2 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective June 13, 1996, each of the Company's domestic rigs in the Gulf of Mexico were bareboat chartered to a wholly-owned subsidiary of ENSCO to achieve operating and marketing efficiencies. At December 31, 1997, the Company had three jackup rigs and seven platform rigs under bareboat charter to ENSCO. The terms of the bareboat charter agreements provide for fixed daily rates to be paid to the Company, which the Company believes are reasonable and representative of the environment in which the rigs operate. Each respective bareboat charter rate is increased for any capital expenditures made by the Company on a chartered rig and the rate is reduced to 50% of the normal rate if a rig is idle for more than 30 consecutive days. The bareboat charter agreements provide for automatic yearly extensions but may be terminated with one month's prior notice. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For purposes of comparative analysis between fiscal years 1997 and 1996, the 1996 results presented below include the combined results of the Company during the period (January 1, 1996 to June 12, 1996) prior to the Merger ("Predecessor" entity) as well as the period (June 13, 1996 to December 31, 1996) subsequent to the Merger ("Successor" entity). The financial statements of the Predecessor and Successor entities are not comparable in certain respects because of differences between the cost bases of the assets and liabilities held by the Predecessor entity compared to that of the Successor entity, as well as the effect on the Successor's operations for adjustments to depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, and income taxes. The schedule below provides a summary of the Company's operating results for the years indicated (in thousands, except utilization data). 1997 1996 --------- ---------- (Combined) Revenues Jackup Rigs - North America $24,444 $35,201 Jackup Rigs - Asia Pacific 58,946 44,549 Platform Rigs 7,464 17,417 ------- ------- Total $90,854 $97,167 ======= ======= Operating Margin* Jackup Rigs - North America $22,629 $20,267 Jackup Rigs - Asia Pacific 25,585 16,121 Platform Rigs 7,229 4,868 ------- ------- Total $55,443 $41,256 ======= ======= Utilization 72% 89% * Defined as operating revenues less operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, change in control, and general and administrative expenses. 1997 Compared to 1996 - --------------------- In 1997, revenues decreased $6.3 million, or 6%, due primarily to the charter contracts the Company has with ENSCO for the jackup rigs and platform rigs located in the Gulf of Mexico. Under the charter contracts, ENSCO pays the Company a day rate for the use of the rigs and ENSCO is responsible for all operating costs associated with those rigs. As a result, the day rates received by the Company under the charter contracts are lower to reflect the cost savings as no operating expenses are incurred by the Company for those rigs. In 1996, the rigs in the Gulf of Mexico were under charter contracts with ENSCO for only the period subsequent to the Merger, whereas in 1997 such rigs were under charter for the entire year. Also contributing to the 1997 decrease in revenues was a reduction in utilization, primarily related to the Company's platform rigs. The decrease in utilization for the platform rigs was primarily a result of shipyard downtime for modifications and enhancements. Although the platform rigs were generally not under contract with third parties while in the shipyard, they continued to receive a reduced charter rate as provided for under the charter agreement with ENSCO. Offsetting the decrease in revenues in 1997 from the North America jackup rigs and platform rigs is increased revenues from the Asia Pacific jackup rigs due to higher day rates resulting from improved market conditions. Also, during the first quarter of 1997 the Company transferred one jackup rig from the Gulf of Mexico to the Asia Pacific region and received a significant increase in its day rate. The improved Asia Pacific revenues were somewhat offset by lower utilization in 1997 due to shipyard downtime and the sale of the Company's 49% interest in a jointly-owned jackup rig to ENSCO in June 1997. The lower utilization in 1997 is the result of shipyard downtime for modifications and enhancements. Two jackup rigs formerly working off the coast of India are currently in a shipyard in Singapore for modifications and enhancements and are expected to remain there until mid-1998. The Company's operating margin improved $14.2 million, or 34%, in 1997 as compared to 1996 due primarily to the significantly improved market conditions for the Asia Pacific rigs in 1997. In addition, the increase in operating margins for the North America jackup rigs and platform rigs are reflective of the improved market conditions. Depreciation and amortization expense in 1997 increased by $5.8 million, or 26%, as compared to 1996 due primarily to a full year's depreciation and amortization associated with the increase in drilling rig values and goodwill recorded in the Merger. Change in Control expenses of $22.0 million recorded in the Predecessor entity's consolidated statement of operations for the period from January 1, 1996 to June 12, 1996 relates to compensation paid in the ordinary course of business as well as other costs incurred by the Company directly related to the Merger. See Note 2 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. General and administrative expenses (inclusive of the ENSCO administrative charge)decreased $1.6 million, or 25%, in 1997 as compared to 1996 as a result of the Merger. In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement with ENSCO for shorebase and corporate support services under which the Company pays ENSCO a monthly fee of $400,000 for accounting, treasury, human resources, engineering, insurance administration, management information systems, purchasing, safety and legal services. The 1996 results reflect only a partial year under this arrangement. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures - ---------------------------------- The Company's cash provided by operations and used by capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 were as follows (in thousands): 1997 1996 --------- ---------- (Combined) Cash provided by operations $34,975 $13,942 Capital expenditures 76,345 31,758 Cash flow from operations increased by $21.0 million in 1997 as compared to 1996. The increase in cash flow from operations is primarily due to improved operating results. Capital expenditures in 1997 were primarily for enhancements and ongoing capital improvements to the Company's drilling rigs. Capital expenditures in 1996 primarily related to the purchase of a jackup rig located in the Gulf of Mexico for $21.3 million. The remaining 1996 capital expenditures were for ongoing capital improvements to the Company's drilling rigs. Net cash used by investing activities was $40.5 million in 1997 as compared to $31.6 million in 1996, primarily representing capital expenditures offset, in part, by proceeds from asset sales. In June 1997, the Company sold its 49% interest in a jointly-owned jackup rig to ENSCO and in December 1997 sold another jackup rig to ENSCO. The proceeds from these asset sales that are included in investing activity cash flows reflect only the net book values of the assets sold. The proceeds received in excess of the net book values are reflected as a contribution of capital and are included as cash flows from financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.2 million in 1997, as compared to net cash used by financing activities of $15.8 million in 1996. The 1997 cash provided by financing activities includes approximately $40.4 million of the proceeds received from the sale of two jackup rigs to ENSCO, representing the proceeds received in excess of the net book value of those rigs. The 1997 and 1996 financing cash flows include approximately $35.3 million and $14.7 million, respectively, of cash used for the net reduction of long-term borrowings. Financing and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company's long-term debt, total capital and debt to capital ratios are summarized below (in thousands, except percentages): 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- Long-term debt $ 98,762 $134,387 Total capital 377,659 356,882 Long-term debt to total capital 26% 38% The Company's long-term debt at December 31, 1997 consists of the Company's 9.875% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") due January 2004. At December 31, 1996, the Company also had outstanding $35.0 million under a revolving credit facility (the "Sub-Facility") established under ENSCO's $150.0 million revolving credit facility with a group of international banks (the "Facility"). The Facility and Sub-Facility were retired in November 1997 in conjunction with ENSCO's sale of $300.0 million in public debt. ENSCO is currently in negotiations to secure a new revolving line of credit for approximately $150.0 million, a portion of which would be allocated to the Company under a separate sub-facility. The Company's liquidity position is summarized below (in thousands, except ratios): 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- Cash and cash equivalents $10,071 $ 9,397 Working capital 2,423 14,219 Current ratio 1.1 1.8 Management believes that the Company may need to supplement its cash flow from operations in 1998 with additional borrowings in order to meet its planned capital expenditures. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures for rig upgrades and sustaining operations could exceed $100.0 million in 1998 as several modification and enhancement projects are currently in progress, and others are anticipated. As mentioned above, ENSCO is currently in negotiations to secure a new $150.0 million revolving credit facility, a portion of which would be allocated to the Company under a separate sub-facility. The Company may also borrow funds from ENSCO if necessary. Management believes that the Company's cash flow from operations and the additional resources mentioned above, if necessary, will be adequate to fund the Company's short-term and long-term liquidity needs. YEAR 2000 ISSUE The Company's Year 2000 issues are being evaluated in conjunction with ENSCO's worldwide evaluation of its Year 2000 issues. ENSCO has developed a task force that is currently working to ascertain and resolve the potential problems associated with the Year 2000 and the processing of date sensitive information by the Company's and ENSCO's computer systems. Based on preliminary information, the Company believes that the systems and programming changes necessary to address the Year 2000 issues will be implemented successfully and does not expect the cost of such changes to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows in future periods.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. DUAL HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Basis of Presentation - -------------------------------------- Dual Holding Company was acquired by ENSCO on June 12, 1996, at which time the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ENSCO. See Note 2 "Merger." The Company engages in the offshore contract drilling business and currently owns or operates a fleet of 16 offshore drilling rigs. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements included herein present the results of the Company for periods prior to the Merger ("Predecessor" entity) as well as for periods subsequent to the Merger ("Successor" entity). The financial statements of the Predecessor and Successor entities are not comparable in certain respects because of differences between the cost bases of the assets and liabilities held by the Predecessor compared to that of the Successor as well as the effect on the Successor's operations for adjustments to depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, and income taxes. The following significant accounting policies apply to both the Predecessor entity and the Successor entity unless otherwise noted. Pervasiveness of Estimates - -------------------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and related revenues and expenses, and disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash Equivalents - ---------------- The Company considers all highly liquid investments to be cash equivalents if they have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Foreign Currency Translation - ---------------------------- The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company's foreign operations. Exchange gains and losses were not significant in any period presented. Property and Equipment - ---------------------- Under the Successor entity, depreciation on drilling rigs and related equipment is computed using the straight line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 4 to 12 years. Depreciation of other equipment is computed using the straight line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 6 years. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement or replacement of assets, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in income. Goodwill - -------- Goodwill arising from the acquisition by ENSCO is amortized on the straight-line basis over a period of 40 years. See Note 2 "Merger." Prior to the Merger, the Company had goodwill resulting from the acquisition by Dual Invest in June 1990 that was written-off in 1996 as a result of purchase accounting. Amortization of goodwill was $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, $1.2 million for the period June 13, 1996 to December 31, 1996, $770,000 for the period January 1, 1996 to June 12, 1996, and $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, was $110.4 million and $99.4 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and is included in Other Assets, Net. Accumulated amortization of goodwill at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $3.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively. On a periodic basis the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows to be generated by the Company's operations to ensure the carrying value of goodwill has not been impaired. Impairment of Assets - -------------------- The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and goodwill, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may be impaired. The determination of impairment is based upon expectations of undiscounted cash flows, before interest, of the related asset. Revenue Recognition - ------------------- The Company's drilling contracts generally provide for payment on a day rate basis, and revenues are recognized as the work is performed. Income Taxes - ------------ Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the anticipated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect at year end. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company is included in the ENSCO U.S. consolidated tax return. Current and deferred taxes are calculated as if the Company was a separate taxpayer. Reclassifications - ----------------- Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation. 2. MERGER On June 12, 1996, the Company was acquired by ENSCO in a purchase acquisition. The Merger was approved on that date by the stockholders of the Company who received 0.625 shares of ENSCO common stock (1.25 shares adjusted for the two-for-one split of ENSCO's common stock effective September 15, 1997) for each share of the Company's common stock. The Company's stockholders of record as of June 12, 1996 received, in the aggregate, approximately 10.1 million shares of ENSCO common stock (20.1 million shares post split) valued at approximately $218.4 million. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company charged $22.0 million against operating results for certain items. These items include compensation paid in the ordinary course of business as well as other costs directly related to the Merger process. The primary items comprising the $22.0 million of operating charges were as follows (in thousands): Cashless exercise of stock options $ 9,667 Compensation and severance payments to employees 8,773 Fee paid to investment advisor 3,000 Other 565 ------- Total $22,005 ======= The Company used the purchase method of accounting to record the Merger. The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired (goodwill) approximated $114.3 million and is being amortized over 40 years. The Company completed its final purchase price allocation and determination of goodwill, deferred taxes and other accounts in the second quarter of 1997. In connection with the Merger, the name of the Company was changed from DUAL DRILLING COMPANY to Dual Holding Company and the capital structure of the Company was changed. Prior to the Merger, the Company was authorized to issue 50.0 million shares of its $.01 par value common stock, of which 16.1 million shares were outstanding as of June 12, 1996, and 10.0 million shares of its preferred stock, of which none were outstanding as of June 12, 1996. Under the terms of the Company's restated certificate of incorporation filed June 12, 1996, the Company is authorized to issue 10,000 shares of its $.10 par value common stock. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had issued 1,000 shares of its $.10 par value common stock, all of which were held by ENSCO. The following unaudited pro forma information shows the consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 based upon adjustments to the historical financial statements of the Company to give effect to the Merger as if such Merger had occurred on January 1, 1995 (in thousands): 1996 1995 --------- --------- Operating revenues $97,167 $91,016 Operating income (loss) 9,966 (1,958) Net income (loss) 145 (12,363) The pro forma consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 1995, or of results that may occur in the future. 3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment at December 31, 1997 and 1996 consists of the following (in thousands): 1997 1996 -------- -------- Drilling rigs and equipment $298,893 $282,130 Other 200 65 Work in progress 27,577 3,341 -------- -------- $326,670 $285,536 ======== ======== In June 1997, the Company sold its 49% interest in a jointly-owned jackup rig to ENSCO for $20.8 million. The sales price of the rig was based on a fair market appraisal by a third party and representative of the 51% of the jackup rig purchased by ENSCO from an unrelated party in May 1997. The proceeds from the sale to ENSCO exceeded the Company's net book value of the rig by approximately $9.2 million which has been recorded to paid in capital. In December 1997, the Company sold a jackup rig to ENSCO for $55.0 million. The sales price of the rig was based on an independent appraisal of fair market value. The proceeds from the sale exceeded the Company's net book value of the rig by approximately $31.2 million which has been recorded to paid in capital. In September 1996, the Company retired two platform rigs located off the coast of California. The rigs were dismantled and their major components were sold to ENSCO at fair market value as spare capital assets. No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction. In May 1996, the Company purchased a jackup rig located in the Gulf of Mexico, which the Company previously operated under a charter agreement, for $21.3 million. Proceeds from certain asset sales in 1995 that were previously disclosed as restricted for purchase of replacement assets or repurchase of indebtedness were used to purchase the rig. 4. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt at December 31, 1997 and 1996 consists of the following (in thousands): 1997 1996 -------- -------- Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 $ 98,762 $ 99,387 Revolving credit facility - 35,000 -------- -------- $ 98,762 $134,387 ======== ======== In January 1994, the Company completed an offering of 9.875% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") with an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. The Notes are due January 2004 and interest is payable semiannually. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company, and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's principal subsidiaries. The Notes' indenture contains certain covenants, including limitation on restricted payments, indebtedness, disposition of proceeds of asset sales, transactions with affiliates, payments of dividends and other payment restrictions, sale/leaseback transactions and restrictions on mergers, consolidations and transfer of assets. The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after January 15, 1999. In July 1996, the Company redeemed $5.0 million (face amount) of the Notes pursuant to an offer required to be made under the terms of the Notes following the Merger. Additionally, as of December 31, 1996, ENSCO had purchased $23.2 million (face amount) of the Notes on the open market. The full $95.0 million (face amount) of the Company's Notes and related premium are shown as outstanding in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1997 and 1996. At December 31, 1996, the Company had $35.0 million outstanding under a revolving credit facility (the "Sub-Facility") established under ENSCO's $150.0 million revolving credit facility with a group of international banks (the "Facility"). The Facility and Sub-Facility were retired in November 1997 in conjunction with ENSCO's sale of $300.0 million in public debt. The interest rate on the Sub-Facility was tied to London Interbank Offered Rates and at December 31, 1996 was 6.785% on the $35.0 million outstanding. The Sub-Facility was collateralized by certain of the Company's jackup rigs, which had a combined net book value of $100.2 million at December 31, 1996. 5. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY (in thousands)

6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Incentive Stock Plans - --------------------- Prior to the Merger, the Company's 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1993 Plan") provided for the granting of any or all of the following types of awards: (i) stock options, including incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, (ii) stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), in tandem with stock options or freestanding, (iii) restricted stock, (iv) performance share awards, and (v) stock value equivalent awards. In conjunction with the Merger, the 1993 Plan was terminated and all outstanding shares granted pursuant to the 1993 Plan were exchanged for ENSCO common stock. Stock Options - The table below summarizes the transactions relating to stock options. (shares in thousands)

In August 1995, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee") approved the cancellation of 806,000 then outstanding management options and the issuance of 951,000 options. The options cancelled had been granted by the Committee in August 1993 (270,000 options) and October 1994 (536,000 options) at exercise prices of $14.000 and $12.125, respectively. The options granted in August 1995 were issued at $10, the market price of the common stock on the date of the grant. In connection with the Merger, the 1993 Plan was amended to allow for the cashless exercise of outstanding stock options prior to the Merger date or the exchange of options for shares of ENSCO common stock on the Merger date. As a result of this change, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $9.7 million which is included in Change in Control expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, the Company is required to disclose information related to net income and earnings per share as if it had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value provisions of that statement. For the options granted by the Company in 1995, the Company determined that such grants accounted for under the provisions of the SFAS No. 123 did not have a material impact on net income or earnings per share in 1995. As discussed above, the Company amended the 1993 Plan in connection with the Merger which resulted in a charge recorded by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Opinion 25 and related authoritative interpretations. The Company determined that the expense recognized under SFAS No. 123 in 1996 would not have been materially different than that recognized under Opinion 25. Defined Contribution Plan - ------------------------- Effective June 30, 1996, the DUAL DRILLING COMPANY Thrift and 401(k) Retirement and Savings Plan (the "Retirement Plan") was frozen. All participants who remained employees of the Company after the Merger were allowed to become participants in the ENSCO Savings Plan. As soon as regulatory approvals are obtained, the Retirement Plan will be merged into the ENSCO Savings Plan. Costs incurred by the Company for matching contributions under the Retirement Plan were approximately $300,000 and $600,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan - -------------------------------------- In June 1993, the Company implemented the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "Plan"), a defined benefit pension plan covering certain of its executive officers. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company, ENSCO and the Plan participants agreed to terminate the Plan and distribute an aggregate $2.3 million to the participants. As such, the Company recorded pension cost related to the Plan of approximately $1.7 million in 1996, of which $1.2 million is recorded in Change in Control expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The $2.3 million termination liability was paid to the participants in January 1997. 7. INCOME TAXES The Company had income (loss) of $(3.7) million, $(13.8) million, $(33.6) million and $(6.7) million from its operations before income taxes in the United States and income (loss) of $15.7 million, $16.7 million, $9.9 million and $(1.7) million from its operations before income taxes in foreign countries for the year ended December 31, 1997, periods June 13, 1996 to December 31, 1996, January 1, 1996 to June 12, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1995, respectively.

(625) 204 - 201 ------- ------- ------- ------ Income tax expense (benefit)................ $ 1,941 $(1,144) $ 628 $ 885 ======= ======= ======= ====== At December 31, 1997, the Company had regular and alternative minimum tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $64.0 million and $37.2 million, respectively, and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $5.1 million. If not utilized, the regular and alternative minimum tax net operating loss carryforwards expire in 2009 and 2010. The foreign tax credit carryforward expires in 2001 and 2002. As a result of the Merger, the Company is now included in the ENSCO U.S. consolidated tax return. The Merger also results in the utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards being subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. However, the Company does not expect such limitations to have an effect upon its ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards. It is the policy of the Company to consider that income generated in foreign subsidiaries is permanently invested. A significant portion of the Company's undistributed foreign earnings at December 31, 1997 were generated by controlled foreign corporations. A portion of the undistributed foreign earnings were taxed, for U.S. tax purposes, in the year that such earnings arose. Upon distribution of foreign earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes. However, deferred taxes related to the future remittance of these funds are not expected to be significant to the financial statements of the Company. 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases and Contracts - -------------------- The Company is obligated under leases for certain of its offices and equipment. Rental expense relating to operating leases was $865,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, $532,000 for the period June 13 through December 31, 1996, $407,000 for the period January 1 through June 12, 1996, and $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. Future minimum rental payments under the Company's noncancellable operating lease obligations having initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year are as follows: $470,500 in 1998 and $52,900 in 1999. The Company makes payments to ENSCO under a Master Services Agreement for support services for the Company's operations. See Note 10 "Related Party Transactions." Insurance - --------- Prior to the Merger, the Company was self-insured for its maritime claims exposure that provided for self-insured limits of up to $500,000 for each claim. Effective June 12, 1996, the Company's insurance coverage was increased to levels consistent with ENSCO's policies which, among other things, limits the exposure to maritime claims to $25,000 for each claim. Based on current information, the Company has provided adequate reserves for such claims. Letters of Credit - ----------------- The Company, from time to time, maintains legally restricted cash balances as collateral for letters of credit issued by banks for providing bid bonds and performance bonds required on drilling contracts in which the Company may bid or be awarded. These restricted cash balances aggregated $1.1 million at December 31, 1996 and are included in Other Current Assets. There were no letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1997, there were no other contingencies, claims, or lawsuits against the Company, which, in the opinion of management, would have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations. 9. GEOGRAPHIC REGION INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS The Company's eight jackup rigs and eight platform rigs (including one which is managed but not owned) are located in the Gulf of Mexico and throughout the Asia Pacific region. Business levels for the Company and for the offshore contract drilling industry, in general, are significantly affected by worldwide expenditures for oil and gas drilling. Expenditures for oil and gas drilling activity fluctuate based upon many factors, including world economic conditions, the legislative environment in the U.S. and other major countries, production levels and other activities of OPEC and other oil and gas producers, and the impact that these and other events have on the current and expected future pricing of oil and natural gas. The following shows geographic information for the year ended December 31, 1997, the Successor period June 13, 1996 to December 31, 1996, the Predecessor period January 1, 1996 to June 12, 1996, and the year ended December 31, 1995(in thousands):

For the year ended December 31, 1997, revenues from ENSCO were 32% of the Company's total revenues, revenues from two customers were each 20% of total revenues and revenues from one customer was 11% of total revenues. For the period June 13, to December 31, 1996, revenues from ENSCO were 24%, and revenues from the other customers were 23%, 15% and 13% of the Company's total revenues. For the period January 1, to June 12, 1996, revenues from one customer was 15% of the Company's total revenues and revenues from two customers were each 13% of the Company's total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 1995, revenues from three customers were 17%, 14% and 11% of total revenues. 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Effective June 13, 1996, each of the Company's domestic rigs, currently consisting of three jackup rigs and seven platform rigs, were bareboat chartered to ENSCO Offshore Company ("ENSCO Offshore"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ENSCO, to achieve certain operating and marketing efficiencies. The terms of the bareboat charter agreements with ENSCO Offshore provide for fixed daily rates to be paid to the Company, which the Company believes are reasonable and representative of the environment in which the rigs operate. Each respective bareboat charter rate is increased for any capital expenditures made by the Company on a chartered rig and the rate is reduced to 50% of the normal rate if a rig is idle for more than 30 consecutive days. The initial term of the bareboat charter agreements is one year, with automatic one year extensions, unless either party gives at least one month's prior notice of termination. Revenues relating to the bareboat charter agreements were $29.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $10.5 million for the period June 13, 1996 to December 31, 1996. On June 13, 1996, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement with ENSCO. Under the terms of the Master Services Agreement, ENSCO provides certain shorebase and corporate support services for the Company's domestic and foreign operations. The Company pays ENSCO a monthly fee for these services under the Master Services Agreement, which the Company believes is reasonable for the services provided. The administrative expense related to the Master Services Agreement was $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $2.6 million for the period from June 13, 1996 to December 31, 1996. ENSCO holds a portion of the Company's Notes as of December 31, 1996. See Note 4 "Long-Term Debt." Interest expense relating to the Notes held by ENSCO was $2.3 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. 11.

The following disclosure of the - ---------------------------------------- estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgement is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at December 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 1997 December 31, 1996 ------------------ -------------------- Estimated Estimated Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value -------- ---------- -------- ---------- Long-term debt, including current Maturities....................... $98,762 $102,876 $134,387 $137,867 The estimated fair values were determined as follows: Quoted market price for the Notes and interest rates that are currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value for bank debt issues. The estimated fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, trade payables and other liabilities approximated their carrying values at December 31, 1997 and 1996. Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments which subject the Company to - ----------------------------- concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company's trade receivables are predominantly from major international oil companies and government-owned oil companies. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are maintained in major banks and high grade investments. As a result, the Company believes the credit risk in such instruments is minimal. 12.
