(Unaudited)

Note 1—Nature of Business

     TODCO (together with its subsidiaries and predecessors, unless the context requires otherwise, the “Company,” “we” or “our”), is a leading provider of contract oil and gas drilling services, primarily in the United States (“U.S.”) Gulf of Mexico shallow water and inland marine region, an area referred to as the U.S. Gulf Coast. The Company owns, has partial ownership interests in or operates 64 drilling rigs, consisting of 24 jackup rigs, 27 barge rigs, three submersible rigs, one platform rig and nine land rigs. The Company contracts its drilling rigs, related equipment and work crews primarily on a dayrate basis to drill oil and natural gas wells.

     In January 2001, the Company was acquired by Transocean Inc. (the “Transocean Merger”). In July 2002, Transocean Inc. (“Transocean”) announced plans to divest its Gulf of Mexico shallow and inland water (“Shallow Water”) business through an initial public offering of the Company. During 2003, the Company completed the transfer to Transocean of all assets not related to its Shallow Water business (“Transocean Assets”), including the transfer of all revenue-producing assets. In February 2004, the Company completed its initial public offering and two secondary stock offerings were completed in September 2004 and December 2004. As a result of above transactions, at March 31, 2005, Transocean owns 13,310,000 shares or approximately 22 percent of the outstanding Class A common stock of the Company. See Note 3.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Consolidation

     Basis of Consolidation — These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial statements and do not include all annual disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The condensed financial information as of March 31, 2005 and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year 2005 or any other future periods.

     Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. For investments in joint ventures that either do not meet the criteria of being a variable interest entity or where the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes, the equity method of accounting is used where the Company’s ownership in the joint venture is between 20 percent and 50 percent and for investments in joint ventures where more than 50 percent is owned and the Company does not have control of the joint venture. The cost method of accounting is used for investments in joint ventures where the Company’s ownership is less than 20 percent and the Company does not have significant influence over the joint venture. For investments in joint ventures that meet the criteria of a variable interest entity and where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes, such entities are consolidated. See Note 4.

     Accounting Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to bad debts, supplies obsolescence, investments, property and equipment and other long-lived assets, income taxes, personal injury claim liabilities, employment benefits and contingent liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Generally, the maturity date of the Company’s cash equivalent investments is the next business day. As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had $12.0 million and $11.9 million, respectively, of restricted cash to support three performance bonds issued in connection with our contracts with PEMEX in Mexico. This restricted cash is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

     Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Accounts receivable trade are stated at the historical carrying amount net of write-offs and allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Interest receivable on delinquent accounts receivable is included in the accounts receivable trade balance and recognized as interest income when collectibility is reasonably assured. Uncollectible accounts receivable trade are written off when a settlement is reached for an amount that is less than the outstanding historical balance. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis when it believes the collection of specific amounts owed is unlikely to occur. This allowance was $0.4 million and $0.2 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

     Supplies — Supplies are carried at the lower of average cost or market value less an allowance for obsolescence. This allowance was $0.3 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

     Stock-Based Compensation — Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation using the prospective method of transition under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (“SFAS 123”). Under the prospective method and in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure (“SFAS 148”), the recognition provisions are applied to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2003.

     New Accounting Pronouncements — In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS 123(R)”), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS 123. SFAS 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”) and amends SFAS 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach to accounting for share-based payments in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values (i.e., pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition). SFAS 123(R) is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2006. As the Company has already adopted SFAS 123, the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123(R) is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (“SFAS 153”). This Statement amends APB Opinion No. 29 to permit the exchange of nonmonetary assets to be recorded on a carry over basis when the nonmonetary assets do not have commercial substance. This is an exception to the basic measurement principal of measuring a nonmonetary asset exchange at fair value. A nonmonetary asset exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 153 to have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

     Reclassifications — Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Note 3—Capital Stock and Related Transactions

     Capital Structure — In February 2004, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to, among other things, create two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B, increase its authorized capital stock and to convert any issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock into Class B common stock. As amended, the Company’s authorized capital stock consists of (i) 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 per

6

share, and 260,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share, and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share.

     Capital Stock Transactions and Retirement of Related Party Debt — In February 2004, prior to the Company’s IPO, the Company exchanged $45.8 million in principal amount of its outstanding 7.375% Senior Notes held by Transocean Holdings Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Transocean, “Transocean Holdings”), plus accrued interest thereon, for 359,638 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (4,367,714 shares of Class B common stock after giving effect to a stock dividend). Immediately following this exchange, the Company exchanged $152.5 million and $289.8 million principal amount of its outstanding 6.75% and 9.5% Senior Notes, respectively, held by Transocean, plus accrued interest thereon, for 3,580,768 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (43,487,535 shares of Class B common stock after giving effect to a stock dividend). The determination of the number of shares issued in the exchange transactions was based on a method that took into account the IPO price of $12.00 per share. The net effect of these transactions was to decrease notes payable and interest payable to a related party by $528.9 million with an offsetting increase in common stock of $0.5 million and additional paid-in capital of $528.4 million. Additionally, the Company expensed the remaining balance of deferred consent fees associated with these notes and recognized a $1.9 million loss on retirement of debt.

     Also in connection with the closing of the IPO, Transocean made additional equity contributions totaling $2.8 million, including $1.0 million in intercompany payable balances owed by the Company to Transocean as of the IPO date.

     Initial Public Offering and Related Events — In February 2004, the Company completed the IPO of 13,800,000 shares of its Class A common stock at $12.00 per share. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the initial sale of Class A common stock.

     Upon completion of the IPO, the Company entered into various agreements to complete the separation from Transocean, including an employee matters agreement, a master separation agreement and a tax sharing agreement. The master separation agreement provides for, among other things, the assumption by the Company of liabilities relating to the Shallow Water business and the assumption by Transocean of liabilities unrelated to the Shallow Water business, including the indemnification of losses that may occur as a result of certain of the Company’s ongoing legal proceedings. See Note 9.

     In February 2004, the Company recorded an equity transaction related to net liabilities related to Transocean’s business of $0.4 million for which legal title had not been transferred to Transocean as of the IPO date in accordance with the business indemnity between the Company and Transocean. The net liabilities related to Transocean’s business totaled $0.2 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The indemnification by Transocean was recorded as a credit to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding offset to a related party receivable from Transocean.

     In conjunction with the IPO, the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement with Transocean. See Note 8.

     Secondary Stock Offerings — Secondary stock offerings were completed in September 2004 and December 2004 in which Transocean sold an additional 17,940,000 and 14,950,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Class A common stock. At the closing of the December 2004 secondary stock offering, Transocean converted all of its unsold shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of Class A common stock shares, resulting in there being no shares of Class B common stock outstanding. The Company received no proceeds from either secondary stock offering. As a result of the above transactions, at March 31, 2005, Transocean owned 13,310,000 shares or approximately 22 percent of the outstanding Class A common stock of the Company. On March 24, 2005, the Company filed a registration statement to enable Transocean to sell all of its remaining shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Company will receive no proceeds from the sale of stock covered by this registration statement.

Note 4—Delta Towing

     The Company owns a 25 percent equity interest in Delta Towing LLC (“Delta Towing”), a joint venture formed to own and operate the Company’s U.S. marine support vessel business, consisting primarily of shallow water tugs, crewboats and utility barges. The Company previously contributed its support vessel business to the joint venture in return for a 25 percent ownership interest and certain secured notes receivable from Delta Towing with a face value of $144.0 million. The Company valued these notes at $80.0 million and no value was assigned to the ownership interest in Delta Towing. Delta Towing’s property and equipment, with a net book value of $38.7 million at March 31, 2005, are collateral for the Company’s notes receivable. The remaining 75 percent ownership interest is held by Beta Marine LLC (“Beta Marine”), which also loaned Delta Towing $3.0 million. See Note 5.

     Under FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“FIN 46”), Delta Towing is considered a variable interest entity because its equity is not sufficient to absorb the joint venture’s expected future losses. The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Delta Towing for accounting purposes because it has the largest percentage of investment at risk through the secured notes held by the Company and would thereby absorb the majority of the expected losses of Delta Towing. The Company adopted FIN 46 and, accordingly, consolidated Delta Towing effective December 31, 2003. As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 all intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation as a result of the adoption of FIN 46, as well as all intercompany transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

     The creditors of Delta Towing have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

Note 5—Debt and Capital Lease Obligations

     Debt and capital lease obligations, net of unamortized discounts, premiums, and fair value adjustments, were comprised of the following (in millions):

     Third Party Debt ¾ Revolving Credit Facility ¾ In December 2003, the Company entered into a two-year, $75 million floating-rate secured revolving credit facility that declined to $60 million in December 2004. The facility is secured by most of the Company’s drilling rigs, receivables, and the stock of most of its U.S. subsidiaries and is guaranteed by some of its subsidiaries. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at our option at either (1) the higher of (A) the prime rate and (B) the federal funds rate plus 0.5 percent, plus a margin in either case of 2.50 percent or (2) the Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 3.50 percent. Commitment fees on the unused portion of the facility are 1.5 percent of the average daily balance and are payable quarterly. Borrowings and letters of credit issued under the facility are limited by a borrowing base equal to the lesser of (A) 20 percent of the orderly liquidated value of the drilling rigs securing the facility, as determined from time to time by a third party selected by the agent under the facility, and (B) the sum of 10 percent of the orderly liquidated value of the drilling rigs securing the facility plus 80 percent of the U.S. accounts receivable outstanding less than 90 days, net of any provision for bad debt associated with such U.S. accounts receivable.

     Financial covenants include maintenance of certain financial ratios and other ratios, including working capital, liquidity, and debt-to-total capitalization ratios, and a minimum tangible net worth by the Company.

8

     The revolving credit facility provides, among other things, for the issuance of letters of credit that the Company may utilize to guarantee its performance under some drilling contracts, as well as insurance, tax and other obligations in various jurisdictions. The facility also provides for customary fees and expense reimbursements and includes other covenants (including limitations on the incurrence of debt, mergers and other fundamental changes, asset sales and dividends) and events of default (including a change of control) that are customary for similar secured non-investment grade facilities.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in interest expense related to commitment fees on the unused portion of the facility and amortized $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in deferred financing costs as a component of interest expense. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under this facility.

     Senior Notes and Exchange Offer — In 2002, Transocean and the Company completed exchange offers and consent solicitations for the Company’s 6.5%, 6.75%, 6.95%, 7.375%, 9.125% and 9.5% Senior Notes (the “Exchange Offer”). As a result of the Exchange Offer, the Company’s outstanding 6.5%, 6.75%, 6.95%, 7.375%, 9.125% and 9.5% Senior Notes were exchanged by Transocean for newly issued Transocean notes having the same principal amount, interest rate, redemption terms and payment and maturity dates (the “Exchanged Notes”). Both the Exchanged Notes and the notes not exchanged remained the obligation of the Company as Transocean became the holder of the Exchanged Notes.

     In February 2004, prior to the Company’s IPO, the Company exchanged $488.1 million in principal amount of the then outstanding Exchanged Notes, plus accrued interest thereon, for 3,940,406 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (47,855,249 shares of Class B common stock after giving effect to a stock dividend). In connection with the exchange, the Company recognized $3.1 million in interest expense related to the Exchanged Notes in 2004. There are no Exchanged Notes payables to Transocean outstanding as a result of the above transaction at March 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004.

     In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company had made an aggregate of $8.3 million in consent payments to holders of the notes that were exchanged. The consent payments were amortized as an increase to interest expense over the remaining terms of the Exchanged Notes using the interest method. No amounts were amortized to interest expense in 2004. In connection with the retirement of the Exchanged Notes prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company expensed the remaining balance of these deferred consent fees of approximately $1.9 million in February 2004, which has been reflected as a loss on retirement of debt in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

     At March 31, 2005, approximately $7.8 million, $2.2 million, $3.5 million and $10.2 million principal amount of the 6.75%, 6.95%, 7.375%, and 9.5% Senior Notes, respectively, due to third parties were outstanding. The fair value of these notes at March 31, 2005, was approximately $7.8 million, $2.2 million, $3.0 million, and $10.8 million, respectively, based on the estimated yield to maturity which takes into account TODCO’s credit worthiness as a separate entity. The Company recognized $0.5 million and $0.4 million in interest expense related to these notes for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

     Other Debt — Third Party ¾ The Company entered into an unsecured line of credit with a bank in Venezuela in the third quarter of 2004 to provide a maximum of 4.5 billion Venezuela Bolivars ($2.1 million U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at March 31, 2005) in order to establish a source of local currency to meet the current obligations in Venezuela as necessary. Each draw on the line of credit is denominated in Venezuela Bolivars and is evidenced by a 30-day promissory note that bears interest at the then market rate as designated by the bank. The promissory notes are pre-payable at any time at the Company’s option. However, if not repaid within 30 days, the promissory notes may be renewed at mutually agreeable terms for an additional 30-day period at the then designated interest rate. There are no commitment fees payable on the unused portion of the line of credit, and the facility is reviewed annually by the bank’s board of directors.

9

     At March 31, 2005, the Company had $1.3 million (2.9 billion Venezuela Bolivars) in borrowings outstanding with respect to the line of credit which bears interest at 16% per annum. This amount is reported as short-term debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2005.

     Other Debt — Related Party ¾ In connection with the acquisition of the U.S. marine support vessel business, Delta Towing entered into a $3.0 million note agreement with Beta Marine dated January 30, 2001. The note bears interest at 8 percent per annum, payable quarterly. The $3.0 million note has been classified as a current obligation in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 as Delta Towing remains in default on this note payable to a related party. The Company has no obligation to fund this debt on behalf of Delta Towing. Interest expense related to the note agreement with Beta Marine was $0.1 million for each of the three months ending March 31, 2005 and 2004.

     Capital Lease Obligations — From time to time the Company enters into capital lease agreements for certain drilling equipment. In January 2004 and during 2003, the Company entered into three such capital lease agreements and exercised options to buy-out the remaining terms of these lease agreements for $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2004. In August 2004, the Company entered into a two-year capital lease agreement for $0.9 million with a final maturity date in July 2006. The Company exercised its option to buy-out the remaining term of this lease agreement in February 2005 for $0.7 million. The Company entered into an additional capital lease agreement for $1.1 million in January 2005. Future lease payments as of March 31, 2005 under this agreement are $1.2 million, including principal and interest, of which $0.6 million is payable in the twelve month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Interest expense, which is not significant, is included in the future lease payments. Depreciation expense on these assets, which is not significant, is included in depreciation expense.

Note 6—Other Current Liabilities

     Other current liabilities are comprised of the following (in millions):

Note 7 — Supplementary Cash Flow Information

     Supplementary cash flow information relating to both continuing and discontinued operations is as follows (in millions):

Note 8—Income Taxes

     Until February 2004, the Company was a member of an affiliated group that included its parent company, Transocean Holdings, and current and deferred taxes were allocated based upon what the Company’s tax provision (benefit) would have been had the Company filed a separate tax return.

     Income taxes have been provided based upon the tax laws and rates in the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned. 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 applicable tax rates in effect. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

     Tax Sharing Agreement—In conjunction with the IPO, the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement with Transocean whereby Transocean will indemnify the Company against substantially all pre-IPO income tax liabilities. However, as part of the tax sharing agreement, the Company must pay Transocean for substantially all pre-closing income tax benefits utilized or deemed to have been utilized subsequent to the closing of the IPO. Accordingly, the Company recorded an equity transaction in 2004 to eliminate the valuation allowance associated with the pre-closing tax benefits and reflect the associated liability to Transocean for the pre-closing tax benefits as a corresponding obligation within the deferred income tax asset accounts. The net effect was a $173.7 million reduction in additional paid-in capital. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $356 million of estimated pre-closing income tax benefits subject to this obligation to reimburse Transocean. The additional estimated tax benefits resulted from the closing of the IPO, specified ownership changes, statutory allocations of tax benefits among Transocean’s consolidated group members and other events. The estimated pre-closing tax benefits and the Company’s corresponding obligation to Transocean may change when Transocean files its 2004 consolidated group tax return.

     In addition, Transocean agreed to indemnify TODCO for certain tax liabilities of $10.3 million that existed as of the IPO date. The tax indemnification by Transocean was recorded as a credit to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding offset to a related party receivable from Transocean.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company utilized pre-closing income tax benefits to offset its current federal income tax obligation for 2005 resulting in a liability to Transocean of $10.8 million. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company utilized pre-closing state tax benefits resulting in a liability to Transocean of $0.8 million. As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company owed Transocean $13.5 million and $8.4 million, respectively, for pre-closing federal and state income tax benefits utilized. These liabilities to Transocean are presented within accrued income taxes – related party in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded an additional $7.7 million in pre-closing deferred state tax liabilities that existed at the IPO date. The recognition of these pre-closing deferred state tax liabilities resulted in a $7.7 million reduction in additional paid-in capital, $0.9 million of deferred state tax benefit and a $6.8 million increase in deferred tax liabilities. Without the effect of this deferred state tax benefit, the effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, would have been 37.8%.

     Additionally, the tax sharing agreement provides that if any person other than Transocean or its subsidiaries becomes the beneficial owner of greater than 50% of the total voting power of the Company’s outstanding voting stock, the Company will be deemed to have utilized all of these pre-closing tax benefits, and the Company will be required to pay Transocean an amount for the deemed utilization of these tax benefits adjusted by a specified discount factor. This payment is required even if the Company is unable to utilize the pre-closing tax benefits. If an acquisition of beneficial ownership had occurred on March 31, 2005, the estimated amount that the Company would have been required to pay Transocean would have been approximately $249 million, or 70% of the pre-closing tax benefits at March 31, 2005.

     Under the tax sharing agreement with Transocean, if the utilization of a pre-closing tax benefit defers or precludes the Company’s utilization of any post-closing tax benefit, its payment obligation with respect to the pre-

11

closing tax benefit generally will be deferred until the Company actually utilizes that post-closing tax benefit. This payment deferral will not apply with respect to, and the Company will have to pay currently for the utilization of pre-closing tax benefits to the extent of:

     Therefore, the Company may not realize the full economic value of tax deductions, credits and other tax benefits that arise post-closing until it has utilized all of the pre-closing tax benefits, if ever.

Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies

     Litigation — In October 2001, the Company was notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that the EPA had identified a subsidiary of the Company as a potentially responsible party in connection with the Palmer Barge Line superfund site located in Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas. Based upon the information provided by the EPA and the Company’s review of its internal records to date, the Company disputes its designation as a potentially responsible party and does not expect that the ultimate outcome of this case will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company continues to monitor this matter.

     Certain subsidiaries of the Company have been named, along with other defendants, in several complaints that have been filed in the Circuit Courts of the State of Mississippi involving over 700 persons that allege personal injury arising out of asbestos exposure in the course of their employment by some of these defendants between 1965 and 1986. The complaints also name as defendants certain of Transocean’s subsidiaries to whom the Company may owe indemnity and other unaffiliated defendant companies, including companies that allegedly manufactured drilling related products containing asbestos that are the subject of the complaints. The number of unaffiliated defendant companies involved in each complaint ranges from approximately 20 to 70. The complaints allege that the defendant drilling contractors used those 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 authorized under the Jones Act. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, awards of unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Based on a recent decision of the Mississippi Supreme Court, the Company anticipates that the trial courts may grant motions requiring each plaintiff to name the specific defendant or defendants against whom such plaintiff makes a claim and the time period and location of asbestos exposure so that the cases may be properly severed. The Company has not yet had an opportunity to conduct any discovery nor has it been able to determine the number of plaintiffs, if any, that were employed by it’s subsidiaries or Transocean’s subsidiaries or otherwise have any connection with the Company’s or Transocean’s drilling operations. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously and, based on the limited information available to it at this time, the Company does not expect the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

     Due to the limited information available to the Company at this time, the Company has not yet made a determination whether it or Transocean is financially responsible under the terms of the master separation agreement for any losses the Company or Transocean may incur as a result of the legal proceedings described in the foregoing paragraph.

     Under the master separation agreement, Transocean has agreed to indemnify the Company for any losses it incurs as a result of the legal proceedings described in the following two paragraphs. See Note 3.

     In December 2002, the Company received an assessment for corporate income taxes from SENIAT, the national Venezuelan tax authority, of approximately $20.7 million (based on the current exchange rates at the time of the assessment and inclusive of penalties) relating to calendar years 1998 through 2000. In March 2003 the Company paid approximately $2.6 million of the assessment, plus approximately $0.3 million in interest, and the Company is contesting the remainder of the assessment. After the Company made the partial assessment payment, the Company

12

received a revised assessment in September 2003 of approximately $16.7 million (based on the current exchange rates at the time of the assessment and inclusive of penalties). We do not expect the ultimate resolution of this assessment to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

     In 1984, in connection with the financing of the corporate headquarters, at that time, for Reading & Bates Corporation (“R&B”), a predecessor to one of the Company’s subsidiaries, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Greater Southwestern Funding Corporation (“Southwestern”) issued and sold, among other instruments, Zero Coupon Series B Bonds due 1999 through 2009 with an aggregate $189 million value at maturity. Paine Webber Incorporated purchased all of the Series B Bonds for resale and in 1985 acted as underwriter in the public offering of most of these bonds. The proceeds from the sale of the bonds were used to finance the acquisition and construction of the headquarters. R&B’s rental obligation was the primary source for repayment of the bonds. In connection with the offering, R&B entered into an indemnification agreement to indemnify Southwestern and Paine Webber from loss caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained or required to be contained in the prospectus or registration statement relating to that offering. Several years after the offering, R&B defaulted on its lease obligations, which led to a default by Southwestern. Several holders of Series B bonds filed an action in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1997 against several parties, including Paine Webber, alleging fraud and misrepresentation in connection with the sale of the bonds. In response to a demand from Paine Webber in connection with that lawsuit and a related lawsuit, R&B agreed in 1997 to retain counsel for Paine Webber with respect to only that part of the referenced cases relating to any alleged material misstatement or omission relating to R&B made in certain sections of the prospectus or registration Statement. The agreement to retain counsel did not amend any rights and obligations under the indemnification agreement. There has been only limited progress on the substantive allegations in the case. The trial court has denied class certification, and the plaintiffs’ appeal of this denial to a higher court has been denied. The plaintiffs further appealed that decision and that appeal was denied. The Company disputes that there are any matters requiring the Company to indemnify Paine Webber. In any event, the Company does not expect that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

     The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in a number of other lawsuits, all of which have arisen in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. The Company does not believe that ultimate liability, if any, resulting from any such other pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on its business or consolidated financial position.

     The Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome or effect of any of the litigation matters specifically described above or of any such other pending litigation. There can be no assurance that the Company’s belief or expectations as to the outcome or effect of any lawsuit or other litigation matter will prove correct and the eventual outcome of these matters could materially differ from management’s current estimates.

     Surety Bonds ¾ As is customary in the contract drilling business, the Company also has various surety bonds totaling $17.1 million in place as of March 31, 2005 that secure customs obligations and certain performance and other obligations. These bonds were issued primarily in connection with the Company’s contracts with Pemex Exploration and Production (“PEMEX”), the Mexican national oil company, and Petroleos de Venezuela (“PDVSA”), the Venezuelan national oil company.

     Self-Insurance — The Company is at risk for the deductible portion of its insurance coverage. In the opinion of management, adequate accruals have been made based on known and estimated exposures up to the deductible portion of the Company’s insurance coverages.

Note 10—Earnings Per Share

     The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

     For the three months ended March 31, 2004, there were 1,633,617 stock options and 294,175 restricted stock awards related to the Company’s Class A common stock outstanding which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of including the incremental shares was anti-dilutive for the period. No adjustments to net income (loss) were made in calculating diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Note 11—Stock-Based Compensation Plans

     TODCO Long-Term Incentive Plan — In February 2004, the Company adopted a long-term incentive plan for certain employees and non-employee directors of the Company in order to provide additional incentives and to increase the personal stake of participants in the continued success of the Company (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, restricted stock, deferred performance units, share appreciation rights, cash awards, supplemental payments to cover tax liabilities associated with the aforementioned types of awards, and performance awards. Most awards under the Plan vest over a three-year period. A maximum of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock has been reserved for issuance under the Plan.

     Stock options and restricted stock awards outstanding as of March 31, 2005 were 1,652,840 and 422,565, respectively. The Company granted 168,489 restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and an additional 167,481 deferred performance units during the same period. All of the deferred performance units issued remain outstanding as of March 31, 2005. In addition, there were 179,500 stock options granted and 185,277 stock options exercised during the three month period ending March 31, 2005. The Company received $2.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of the stock options during the three month period ended March 31, 2005.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized $1.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively, in compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock awards and deferred performance units granted.

     Transocean Stock Options — Certain of the Company’s employees hold options to acquire Transocean ordinary shares, which were granted prior to the IPO under a Transocean incentive plan. The employees holding these options were treated as terminated for the convenience of Transocean on the IPO date. As a result, the 250,797 options outstanding on February 10, 2004 became fully vested and were modified to remain exercisable over the original contractual life. In connection with the modification of these options, the Company recognized $1.5 million

14

of additional compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2004. No further compensation expense will be recorded in the future related to the Transocean options.

Note 12 — Segments, Geographical Analysis and Major Customers

     The Company’s operating assets consist of jackup and submersible drilling rigs and inland drilling barges and a platform rig located in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Trinidad, two jackup drilling rigs and one platform rig in Mexico, as well as land drilling units located in Venezuela. The Company provides contract oil and gas drilling services and reports the results of those operations in four business segments which correspond to the principal geographic regions in which the Company operates: U.S. Inland Barge Segment, U.S. Gulf of Mexico Segment, Other International Segment and Delta Towing Segment.

     Operating revenues, depreciation, operating income (loss) and identifiable assets by reportable business segment were as follows (in millions):

     Total assets by segment were as follows (in millions):

     The Company provides contract oil and gas drilling services with different types of drilling equipment in several countries, as well as other marine support services in the U.S. coastal and inland water regions through the Company’s interest in Delta Towing. Geographic information about the Company’s operations was as follows (in millions):

15

     A substantial portion of the Company’s assets are mobile. Asset locations at the end of the period are not necessarily indicative of the geographic distribution of the earnings generated by such assets during the periods.

     The Company’s international operations are subject to certain political and other uncertainties, including risks of war and civil disturbances (or other events that disrupt markets), expropriation of equipment, repatriation of income or capital, taxation policies, and the general hazards associated with certain areas in which operations are conducted.

     The Company provides drilling rigs, related equipment and work crews primarily on a dayrate basis to customers who are drilling oil and gas wells. The Company provides these services mostly to independent oil and gas companies, but it also services major international and government-controlled oil and gas companies.

Note 13 – Subsequent Event

     In April 2005, the Company decommissioned Rig 62, which was damaged by a fire in 2003, and began salvaging any remaining useable equipment. The decommissioning of Rig 62 reduces the Company’s inland barge drilling rig fleet to 27 rigs and is not expected to result in any impairment charge, nor have any material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this report. Except for the historical financial information contained herein, the matters discussed below may be considered “forward-looking” statements. Please see “— Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

Overview of Our Business

     We are a leading provider of contract oil and natural gas drilling services, primarily in the United States (“U.S.”) Gulf of Mexico shallow water and inland marine region, an area that we refer to as the U.S. Gulf Coast. We provide these services primarily to independent oil and natural gas companies, but we also service major international and government-controlled oil and natural gas companies. Our customers in the U.S. Gulf Coast typically focus on drilling for natural gas.

     We provide contract oil and gas drilling and other support services and report the results of those operations in four business segments which, for our contract drilling services, correspond to the principal geographic regions in which we operate:

     Our operating revenues for our drilling segments are based on dayrates received for our drilling services and the number of operating days during the relevant periods. The level of our operating revenues depends on dayrates, which in turn are primarily a function of industry supply and demand for drilling units in the market segments in which we operate. Supply and demand for drilling units in the U.S. Gulf Coast, which is our primary operating region, has historically been volatile. During periods of high demand, our rigs typically achieve higher utilization and dayrates than during periods of low demand.

     Our operating and maintenance costs for our drilling segments represent all direct and indirect costs associated with the operation and maintenance of our drilling rigs. The principal elements of these costs are direct and indirect labor and benefits, freight costs, repair and maintenance, insurance, general taxes and licenses, boat and helicopter rentals, communications, tool rentals and services. Labor, repair and maintenance and insurance costs represent the most significant components of our operating and maintenance costs.

17

     We do not expect operating and maintenance expenses to necessarily fluctuate in proportion to changes in operating revenues because we seek to preserve crew continuity and maintain equipment when our rigs are idle. In general, labor costs increase primarily due to higher salary levels, rig staffing requirements and inflation. Equipment maintenance expenses fluctuate depending upon the type of activity the unit is performing and the age and condition of the equipment.

Industry Background, Trends and Outlook

     The drilling industry in the U.S. Gulf Coast is highly cyclical and is typically driven by general economic activity and changes in actual or anticipated oil and gas prices. We believe that both our earnings and demand for our rigs will typically be correlated to our customers’ expectations of energy prices, particularly natural gas prices, and that sustained energy price increases will generally have a positive impact on our earnings.

     We believe there are several trends that should benefit our operations, including:

     In response to the improved market conditions, our competitors and speculators have recently begun ordering new jackup drilling rigs. We believe there are currently 32 jackup rigs on order with delivery dates ranging from 2005 to 2008. Most of the rigs on order are premium cantilevered drilling units with 350 to 400 foot water depth capability. This trend of new jackup construction could curtail a further strengthening of utilization and dayrates, or reduce them.

     Market conditions for our U.S. Gulf Coast jackup fleet improved beginning in the third quarter of 2003 and continued through the first quarter of 2005. As shown in the following table, from the first quarter of 2004 through the first quarter of 2005, our average revenue per day for U.S. Gulf of Mexico jackups and submersibles improved by 46%. During the same period, average revenue per day for our U.S. inland barges improved by 23%. As of May 2, 2005, 12 of our 13 marketed jackup rigs working in the U.S. Gulf Coast were contracted at dayrates ranging from $41,900 to $48,900. As of May 2, 2005, our 14 operating inland barges were contracted at dayrates ranging from $18,000 to $34,500. We anticipate that the declining jackup rig supply in the U.S. Gulf Coast and the trend towards more deep gas well drilling will continue to result in higher utilization and dayrates. Additionally, we recently signed one-year term contracts for two of our inland barge rigs, Rig 15 and Rig 19, at dayrates of approximately $25,000 and $20,000 per day respectively.

18

     The following table shows our average rig revenue per day and utilization for the quarterly periods ended on or prior to March 31, 2005 with respect to each of our three drilling segments. Average rig revenue per day is defined as operating revenue earned per revenue earning day in the period. Utilization in the table below is defined as the total actual number of revenue earning days in the period as a percentage of the total number of calendar days in the period for all drilling rigs in our fleet.

     In May 2005, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with an international oil company to reactivate one of our cold stacked jackup rigs for a multi-year drilling contract. We are still negotiating the definitive terms of the drilling contract. However, we expect the customer to pay for substantially all reactivation and mobilization costs and in addition, we expect the dayrate to be in the high $50,000 range.

     In the third quarter of 2003, we were awarded contracts with PEMEX, the Mexican national oil company, for two of our jackup rigs and a platform rig. After upgrades to comply with contract specifications, one rig began operating on a 720-day contract in early November 2003 at a contract dayrate of approximately $42,000. The other jackup rig began operating in early December 2003 on a 1,081-day contract at a contract dayrate of approximately $39,000. The cost to prepare the two jackup rigs to work in Mexico, including mobilization costs, which are deferred and will be recognized over the primary contract term, was approximately $22 million in the aggregate. The platform rig contract is 1,289 days in duration and began operating in December 2004 at a contract dayrate of approximately $29,000. Our platform rig was upgraded to comply with PEMEX contract specifications at an aggregate cost of approximately $11 million. Each of the contracts can be terminated by PEMEX on five days notice, subject to certain conditions.

     In the third quarter of 2004, two of our land rigs began working in Venezuela under one-year term contracts at dayrates of $22,200 and $23,800, and another two land rigs were re-deployed during October and November 2004 under one-year contracts with Petroleos de Venezuela (“PDVSA”), the Venezuelan national oil company, at contract dayrates of approximately $22,000 each. Our jackup rig, THE 156 which began operating in Venezuela in mid-December 2003, completed its contract in September 2004 and has been relocated to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. In April 2005, we signed a 340-day contract for a land rig to begin working in Trinidad in June 2005. The contracted dayrate for the Trinidad contract is approximately $21,000 per day.

     With respect to our Venezuelan operations, political unrest has negatively impacted our results of operations there. As a result, we experienced some decline in utilization in Venezuela during the second half of 2003 through late 2004. We currently have four land rigs operating under contract in Venezuela. In January 2005, we retained Simmons & Company International to explore alternatives for the disposition of our Venezuelan land drilling business, which is not viewed by us as being core to our ongoing offshore drilling business. The evaluation may result in the sale of some or all of our Venezuelan assets.

     In April 2005, we decommissioned Rig 62, which was damaged by a fire in 2003, and began salvaging any remaining useable equipment. The decommissioning of Rig 62 reduces our inland barge drilling rig fleet to 27 rigs and is not expected to result in any impairment charge, nor have any material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

     Prior to October 2004, our principal insurance coverages for property damage, liability and occupational injury and illness were included in Transocean’s insurance program in accordance with the master separation agreement. Effective October 15, 2004, we changed our insurance program to an independent, stand-alone insurance program, that provides for significantly lower deductibles than those in our previous insurance program. Our current deductible level under the new hull and machinery and protection and indemnity policies is $1.0 million and $5.0 million per occurrence, respectively. Previously, our deductible level under each of these policies was $10.0 million per occurrence.

Results of Continuing Operations

     The following table sets forth our operating days, average rig utilization rates, average rig revenue per day, revenues and operating expenses by operating segment for the periods indicated:

20

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

     Operating Revenues. Total operating revenue increased $38.1 million or 52% during the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the comparable period in 2004. Overall average rig revenue per day increased from $27,800 in the first quarter of 2004 to $33,200 in 2005. The increase in average rig revenue per day reflects the continued improvement of market conditions in the U.S. Gulf Coast, as well as the revenue contribution from our platform rig which began operating in Mexico in December 2004 and four land rigs which began operating in Venezuela in the last half of 2004. Average rig utilization for our overall drilling rig fleet increased to 52% for the first quarter of 2005 from 38% in the first quarter of 2004.

     Operating revenues for our U.S. Gulf of Mexico segment increased $25.5 million, or 97%, during the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. In the three months ended March 31, 2005, we achieved higher average rig revenue per day for our jackup and submersible drilling fleet as a result of our success in obtaining contracts with our customers at higher dayrates in response to increased market demand and decreased jackup drilling rig supply in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Average revenue per day increased to $44,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, up from $30,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, which resulted in an additional $14.8 million in operating revenues. Results for the first quarter of 2005 also reflect higher utilization for our current rig fleet in this market, after giving effect to the transfers of the jackup drilling unit THE 156 from our Other International segment in the fourth quarter of 2004. This increase in utilization resulted in $6.5 million in additional operating revenues in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. The transfer of THE 156 from our Other International segment generated operating revenues of $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2005.

     Operating revenues for our U.S. Inland Barge segment increased $7.9 million, or 36%, during the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004, due to higher average rig revenue per day and utilization. This market has continued to improve since the first quarter of 2004 with average rig revenue per day increasing from $20,300 for the first quarter of 2004 to $25,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase resulted in additional operating revenues of $5.6 million. Utilization of our inland barge fleet was 46% for the first quarter of 2005, as compared to 40% for the comparable period in 2004, which resulted in a $2.3 million increase in operating revenues.

     Operating revenues for our Other International segment were $20.1 million for the first quarter of 2005 for an increase of $1.4 million, or 7%, over operating revenues for the first quarter of 2004. This increase reflects the commencement of operation of our platform rig in Mexico in late 2004 under a long-term contract and three additional land rigs in Venezuela. The operation of the platform rig contributed an additional $2.7 million in operating revenues during the first quarter of 2005. Higher land rig utilization in Venezuela contributed an additional $5.1 million in operating revenues in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. These favorable contributions were offset by the transfer of THE 156 from Venezuela to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, which generated $6.4 million in operating revenue during the first quarter of 2004.

     The operations of Delta Towing contributed $10.1 million in operating revenues during the first quarter of 2005, an increase of $3.3 million, or 49%, as compared to the first quarter of 2004. Improved market conditions and increased demand for marine support vessels resulted in Delta Towing’s revenue increase.

     Operating and Maintenance Expenses. Total operating and maintenance expenses increased $2.0 million, or 3%, in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to operating expenses of $66.9 million for the comparable period in 2004. An increase in operating expenses for our U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Inland Barge segments was offset by lower operating expenses in our Other International segment, primarily as a result of the jackup rig, THE 156, having moved from Venezuela to the U. S. Gulf of Mexico. Operating and maintenance expenses for our U.S. Gulf of Mexico segment were $1.7 million higher for the three months ended March 31, 2005 than the first quarter of 2004 primarily due to the relocation of THE 156 back to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. During the first quarter of 2004, THE 156 operated in Venezuela. Our U.S. Inland Barge segment had $1.0 million higher operating and maintenance expenses in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004 due to higher repair and maintenance expenses on Rig 64 prior to the start of a two-well contract.

21

     Operating and maintenance expenses for our Other International segment were $0.5 million lower for the three months ended March 31, 2005 than the three months ended March 31, 2004. In Venezuela, lower operating and maintenance expenses of $5.0 million due to the relocation of THE 156 back to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and a $0.8 million reduction in a Venezuelan labor claim legal reserve due to favorable settlements were partially offset by $3.5 million higher operating and maintenance expenses due to increased land rig utilization during the first quarter of 2005. Additionally, in Mexico the start up of Rig 3 in late December 2004, increased operating and maintenance expenses $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2005.

     General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2005 as compared to $12.4 million for the comparable period in 2004. The $4.0 million decrease in general and administrative expenses was due primarily to $7.9 million of stock compensation expense associated with our IPO in the first quarter of 2004 as compared to $1.8 million in stock compensation expense in the comparable period of 2005, a favorable variance of $6.1 million. This was offset by higher labor costs of $1.1 million, higher professional accounting and legal fees of $0.7 million and an increase in Delta Towing general and administrative costs of $0.4 million.

     Gain on Disposal of Assets, Net. During the first three months of 2005, we realized net gains on disposal of assets of $1.1 million, primarily related to the sale of three marine support vessels by Delta Towing ($0.6 million) and the sale of drill pipe and miscellaneous equipment ($0.5 million). During the first three months of 2004, we realized net gains on disposal of assets of $2.7 million primarily related to the settlement of an October 2000 insurance claim for one of our jackup rigs ($1.5 million) and the sale of a support vessel by Delta Towing ($1.0 million).

     Interest Expense. Third party and related party interest expense decreased $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the comparable period in 2004 primarily due to the completion of a debt-for-equity exchange of all our remaining outstanding related party debt payable to Transocean in the first quarter of 2004.

     Loss on Retirement of Debt. In the first quarter of 2004, we wrote off the remaining balance of unamortized fees of approximately $1.9 million associated with the exchange of Transocean debt for our outstanding senior notes in March 2002 due to the retirement of the debt in conjunction with the IPO.

     Income Tax Expense (Benefit). The income tax expense of $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2005 is principally due to our obligation to Transocean under the tax sharing agreement and represents amounts we owe Transocean for the utilization of pre-closing federal and state tax benefits. Tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005, includes the effect of recognizing an additional $7.7 million in pre-closing deferred state tax liabilities that existed at the IPO date. The recognition of these pre-closing deferred state tax liabilities resulted in a $7.7 million reduction in additional paid-in capital, $0.9 million of deferred state tax benefit and a $6.8 million increase in deferred tax liabilities. Without the effect of this deferred state tax benefit, the effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, would have been 37.8%, which is higher than the federal tax rate principally due to utilization of state tax benefits and the resulting obligation to Transocean, including our inability under the tax sharing agreement to reduce our federal tax benefit obligation for the state tax benefits utilized. We are currently in discussions with Transocean regarding an amendment to the tax sharing agreement to receive a federal tax benefit for the state tax benefits paid. We anticipate completing this amendment to the tax sharing agreement in the second quarter of 2005. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, our net loss generated a tax benefit of $10.2 million or a 31.3% effective tax rate which was lower than the federal tax rate due to a valuation allowance on the Delta Towing tax benefits generated during the first quarter of 2004.

Financial Condition

     At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had total assets of $758.5 million and $761.4 million, respectively. The $2.9 million decrease in assets during the first three months of 2005 is primarily attributable to depreciation of $24.0 million and $1.9 million in net amortization of deferred preparation and mobilization costs. These decreases in assets were partly offset by an increase in cash and accounts receivable of $12.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively. Both of these increases are a result of the continually improving market conditions in our industry.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Use of Cash

     Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2004. Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3.6 million for the same period in 2004. The $12.3 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to an increase in net income of $30.4 million. Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities were lower in 2005, primarily due to the $6.0 million decrease in stock compensation expense recognized by us in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the corresponding period in 2004. Our net income was favorably affected by the continuing improvement in the demand for shallow water drilling services which resulted in our dayrates increasing from $27,800 to $33,200 and our rig utilization percentages increasing from 38% to 52%.

     Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of effect of distributions to related parties, resulted in an $8.5 million reduction in cash in the first quarter of 2005, compared to a $0.5 million reduction in the same period in 2004. This $8.0 million decrease is primarily the result of an increase of our accounts receivable due to the improving demand for drilling services and the resulting increase in dayrates and utilization. The higher revenues in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2004 resulted in a significantly higher receivable balance at the quarter end.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to $4.0 million provided by investing activities for the same period in 2004. The $4.1 million decrease in net cash provided by investing activities relates primarily to larger gains realized on the sales of marine support vessels and other equipment in the first quarter of 2004 when compared to the same period in 2005.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2004. Financing activities in the first quarter 2005 included a borrowing against our Venezuela line of credit of $1.3 million and the receipt of $2.2 million from the exercise of employee stock options.

Sources of Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

     Our existing cash balances and cash flows from operating activities were our primary sources of liquidity for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Our primary sources of liquidity for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were asset sales and our existing cash balances. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, our primary uses of cash were operating costs and capital expenditures of $2.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, our primary uses of cash were operating costs and capital expenditures of $3.0 million related to upgrades and replacements of equipment. At March 31, 2005, we had $77.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.

     We anticipate that we will rely primarily on internally generated cash flows to maintain liquidity. From time to time, we may also make use of our revolving line of credit for cash liquidity. In December 2003, we entered into a two-year, $75 million floating-rate secured revolving credit facility that declined to $60 million in December 2004. There were no amounts outstanding under this credit facility at March 31, 2005.

     The facility is secured by most of our drilling rigs, our receivables and the stock of most of our U.S. subsidiaries and is guaranteed by some of our subsidiaries. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at our option at either (1) the higher of (A) the prime rate and (B) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, plus a margin in either case of 2.50% or (2) the Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 3.50%. Commitment fees on the unused portion of the facility are 1.50% of the average daily balance and are payable quarterly. Borrowings and letters of credit issued under the facility are limited by a borrowing base equal to the lesser of (A) 20% of the orderly liquidated value of the drilling rigs securing the facility, as determined from time to time by a third party selected by the agent under the facility, and (B) the sum of 10% of the orderly liquidated value of the drilling rigs securing the facility plus 80% of the U.S. accounts receivable outstanding less than 90 days, net of any provision for bad debt associated with such U.S. accounts receivable.

     Financial covenants include maintenance of the following:

     The revolving credit facility provides, among other things, for the issuance of letters of credit that we may utilize to guarantee our performance under some drilling contracts, as well as insurance, tax and other obligations in various jurisdictions. The facility also provides for customary fees and expense reimbursements and includes other covenants (including limitations on the incurrence of debt, mergers and other fundamental changes, asset sales and dividends) and events of default (including a change of control) that are customary for similar secured non-investment grade facilities.

     Additionally, we entered into an unsecured line of credit with a bank in Venezuela in the third quarter of 2004 to provide a maximum of 4.5 billion Venezuela Bolivars ($2.1 million U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at March 31, 2005) in order to establish a source of local currency to meet the current obligations in Venezuela as necessary. Each draw on the line of credit is denominated in Venezuela Bolivars and is evidenced by a 30-day promissory note that bears interest at the then market rate as designated by the bank. The promissory notes are pre-payable at any time at our option. However, if not repaid within 30 days, the promissory notes may be renewed at mutually agreeable terms for an additional 30-day period at the then designated interest rate. There are no commitment fees payable on the unused portion of the line of credit, and the facility is reviewed annually by the bank’s board of directors.

     At March 31, 2005, we had $1.3 million (2.9 billion Venezuela Bolivars) in borrowings outstanding with respect to the line of credit which bears interest at 16% per annum. This amount is reported as short-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2005. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit at December 31, 2004.

     We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $15 million, without any rig reactivations, for 2005, primarily for rig refurbishments and the purchase of capital equipment. The timing and amounts we actually spend in connection with our reactivation of other selected rigs is subject to our discretion and will depend on market conditions and our cash flows. We would expect capital expenditures to increase as market conditions improve. Our ability to fund capital expenditures would be adversely affected if conditions deteriorate in our business, we experience poor results in our operations or we fail to meet covenants under the revolving credit facility described in the previous paragraph.

     We anticipate that our available funds, together with our cash generated from operations and amounts that we may borrow, will be sufficient to fund our required capital expenditures, working capital and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future. Future cash flows and the availability of outside funding sources, however, are subject to a number of uncertainties, especially the condition of the oil and natural gas industry. Accordingly, these resources may not be available or sufficient to fund our cash requirements.

24

     During the first quarter of 2005, there were no material changes to the contractual obligations, including our scheduled debt maturities, reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2004. In addition, there has been no material change during the first quarter of 2005 to the surety bonds that guarantee our performance as it relates to drilling contracts, insurance, tax and other obligations in various jurisdictions.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     The Company has certain actions or claims pending that have been previously discussed and reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. There have been no material developments in these previously reported matters. The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in a number of other lawsuits, all of which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that ultimate liability, if any, resulting from any such other pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
