REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of ENSCO International Incorporated
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ENSCO
International Incorporated as of September 30, 1996 and the related
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. This financial
information is the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical
procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial information for it to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We previously audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the year
then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 2, 1996
we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 1995, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

ENSCO INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
ENSCO International Incorporated (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, in the
opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which consist of normal
recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair statement of the
financial position and results of operations for the interim periods
presented.
On June 12, 1996, the Company acquired DUAL DRILLING COMPANY ("Dual"). See
"Note 2 - Acquisition" below. The Company's consolidated financial
statements include the results of Dual from the June 12, 1996 acquisition
date.
The financial data for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1996 included herein have been subjected to a limited review by Price
Waterhouse LLP, the registrant's independent accountants. The accompanying
review report of independent accountants is not a report within the meaning
of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and the independent
accountant's liability under Section 11 does not extend to it.
Results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations which will
be realized for the year ending December 31, 1996. It is recommended that
these statements be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION
On June 12, 1996, the Company acquired Dual pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Merger among the Company, DDC Acquisition Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, and Dual (the "Merger Agreement") approved by
Dual stockholders on that date. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement,
each share of Dual common stock was immediately converted into the right to
receive 0.625 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company issued
approximately 10.1 million shares of its common stock to Dual stockholders
in connection with the acquisition of Dual.
The Company accounted for the acquisition of Dual as a purchase. The
purchase price allocation has been based on preliminary estimates of fair
value and is subject to adjustment as additional information becomes
available and is evaluated. The primary areas subject to further purchase
price adjustment are reserves associated with insurance related matters and
taxes.
The acquired Dual operations consisted of a fleet of 20 offshore drilling
rigs, including 10 jackup rigs and 10 platform rigs. Five of Dual's jackup
8<PAGE>
rigs are presently located in the Gulf of Mexico, four jackup rigs are
located offshore Indonesia, India and Qatar and the remaining jackup rig is
now in a Malaysia shipyard for modifications and enhancements. Of the 10
platform rigs operated by Dual, seven are currently located in the Gulf of
Mexico and one, which is not owned but managed by Dual, is located off the
coast of China. The remaining two platform rigs, formerly located off the
coast of California, have been retired.
The following unaudited pro forma information shows the consolidated
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
based upon adjustments to the historical financial statements of the
Company and the historical financial statements of Dual to give effect to
the acquisition by the Company as if such acquisition had occurred
January 1, 1995 (in thousands, except per share data):
1996 1995
-------- --------
Operating revenues $369,925 $262,058
Operating income $ 94,665 $ 29,062
Income from continuing operations $ 60,578 $ 11,977
Net income $ 60,578 $ 18,273
Earnings per share $ 0.86 $ 0.26
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.
NOTE 3 - OTHER INCOME
In February 1991, a subsidiary of the Company filed an action against
TransAmerican Natural Gas Corporation and related subsidiaries and
affiliates ("TransAmerican") seeking damages for breach of contract. On
April 5, 1996, the U.S. District court for the Southern District of Texas,
Houston Division, entered a judgment against TransAmerican. As a result of
the judgment, on April 18, 1996, the subsidiary of the Company entered into
a settlement agreement with TransAmerican. Under the terms of the
settlement agreement, the subsidiary of the Company received approximately
$7.3 million. In the second quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a gain
of $6.4 million under the caption "Other, net" with a corresponding
increase in deferred income tax expense of $2.2 million for an after tax
gain of $4.2 million.
The Company sold substantially all of the assets of its technical services
business in September 1995 as discussed in "Note 8 - Discontinued
Operations". In early July 1996, the Company converted its convertible
promissory note received from the purchaser ("Purchaser") into common stock
of the Purchaser. The Company sold the Purchaser's common stock for $5.4
million and recorded a gain in the third quarter associated with the sale
of approximately $2.9 million under the caption "Other, net" with a
corresponding increase in deferred income tax expense of $1.1 million for
an after tax gain of $1.8 million.
9<PAGE>
NOTE 4 - LONG-TERM DEBT
On June 13, 1996, the Company amended its $130.0 million revolving credit
facility with a group of international banks, increasing availability under
the revolving credit facility ("Facility") to $150.0 million. On the same
date, the Company borrowed an additional $45.0 million under the Facility,
increasing outstanding borrowings under the Facility to $111.0 million.
Proceeds from the additional $45.0 million of borrowings under the Facility
were used to refinance approximately $41.8 million of Dual's bank debt.
Availability under the Facility is reduced by $7.0 million on a semi-annual
basis commencing in October 1996, with the remaining outstanding balance
due in October 2001. The Facility continues to be collateralized by the
majority of the Company's jackup rigs, including certain of the jackup rigs
acquired in the acquisition of Dual. The covenants under the Facility are
similar to the covenants that existed under the original revolving credit
facility and the interest rate continues to be tied to London InterBank
Offered Rates. As of September 30, 1996, the interest rate on the Facility
was 7.05%.
At the June 12, 1996 acquisition date, Dual had outstanding $100.0 million
(face amount) of 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 ("9 7/8%
Notes"). In July 1996, $5.0 million (face amount) of the 9 7/8% Notes were
redeemed pursuant to an offer by Dual to purchase the 9 7/8% Notes
following a change in control. Additionally, as of September 30, 1996, the
Company had purchased $23.2 million (face amount) of the 9 7/8% Notes on
the open market. The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 1996
reflects long-term debt net of the $5.0 million redemption and the $23.2
million (face amount) of 9 7/8% Notes purchased by the Company.
In September 1995, the Company amended and restated a $100.0 million loan
arrangement with a group of international banks. The amended and restated
facility was structured as a $130.0 million revolving credit facility, of
which $66.0 million was drawn as of September 30, 1995. The interest rate
on the facility was 7.15% as of September 30, 1995. The amended and
restated facility was recently amended on June 13, 1996 as discussed above.
NOTE 5 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The current income tax provisions for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 are primarily for United States alternative minimum
taxes and the Company's operations in Venezuela, India, Indonesia, Qatar,
Mexico and the Netherlands. The deferred income tax provisions for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 relate to the Company's
operations in the U.S., the United Kingdom and Venezuela. The income tax
provisions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 primarily
include U.S. alternative minimum taxes, current and deferred taxes related
to the Company's operations in Venezuela and deferred taxes related to the
Company's operations in the United Kingdom. No provision for regular U.S.
federal income taxes has been recorded for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 due to the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards to offset taxes currently payable.
At September 30, 1996, the Company had regular and alternative minimum tax
net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $214.8 million and $129.9
10<PAGE>
million, respectively, and investment tax credit and alternative minimum
tax credit carryforwards of approximately $360,000 and $1.5 million,
respectively.
NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In mid-January 1996, one of the Company's jackup rigs located in the Gulf
of Mexico experienced damage as it was preparing to jack up on a new
location. The jackup rig was mobilized to a shipyard where it is currently
undergoing repairs and is expected to be available for work in late 1996.
The Company is fully insured for damage to and salvage operations related
to the jackup rig and the Company expects that all such costs incurred will
be recoverable from its insurance coverage. The Company, through October
31, 1996, has incurred approximately $17.0 million of charges related to
the rig damage. As of September 30, 1996, the Company had a receivable
recorded from its insurance carrier of approximately $5.5 million in
connection with costs incurred for salvage operations and repairs related
to the rig.
NOTE 7 - CHANGE IN ESTIMATED RIG LIVES
In connection with the Company's rig upgrade program in 1995, the remaining
useful life of certain rigs for which major enhancements were performed was
extended to twelve years from the time each respective rig left the
shipyard to better reflect their remaining economic lives. The effect of
this change in estimate was to increase net income for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995 by $365,000, or $.01 per share.
NOTE 8 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Effective September 30, 1995 the Company exited the technical services
business through the sale of substantially all of the assets of its wholly
owned subsidiary, ENSCO Technology Company. The purchase price consisted
of $11.8 million in cash, an interest-bearing promissory note for $3.6
million, an interest-bearing convertible promissory note for $2.5 million
and the assumption of $1.9 million of liabilities. The convertible
promissory note was convertible, at the Company's option, into equity of
the purchaser. The $3.6 million promissory note was paid in July 1996.
The $2.5 million promissory note was converted into common stock of the
Purchaser and sold for $5.4 million in July 1996. See "Note 3 - Other
Income."
Included in the 1995 Income from Discontinued Operations is a gain on the
sale discussed above of $5.2 million and income from operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 of $500,000 and $1.1
million, respectively. Revenues from the technical services operations for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 were $5.2 million and
$13.4 million, respectively.
NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company entered into an agreement in October, 1996 to purchase a jackup
drilling rig currently located in Southeast Asia. The transaction was
completed in early November.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
ENSCO International Incorporated (the "Company") provides offshore contract
drilling and marine transportation services to the oil and gas industry.
The Company's contract drilling operations are presently conducted in the
Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea, Venezuela and Asia. The marine
transportation services provided by the Company are currently conducted
solely in the Gulf of Mexico.
The improvement in industry activity for offshore drilling rigs and Gulf of
Mexico marine vessels began in early 1995 and has continued throughout
1996. The increased activity levels in 1996 have resulted in demand
sufficient to absorb almost all of the rigs that are in working condition
and being actively marketed in the major offshore oil and gas markets
throughout the world and for Gulf of Mexico marine vessels that are in
working condition and being actively marketed.
Management believes that the currently strong level of offshore drilling
activity in the Gulf of Mexico is sustainable for the remainder of 1996
unless there is a significant and unexpected deterioration in natural gas
prices. In particular, demand for cantilever jackup rigs, which is the
Company's main focus, is expected to remain strong due to the increased
level of development activity which requires cantilevered drilling over
existing production platforms. Activity levels for the Company's marine
transportation vessels generally correspond with activity levels
experienced for the Company's Gulf of Mexico rigs.
In the North Sea, industry activity levels have increased in 1996 with full
utilization of all actively marketed jackup rigs as compared to near full
utilization in the latter part of 1995. During 1996, reduced industry
activity levels in the British sector of the North Sea (due to lower
natural gas prices in the United Kingdom) have been offset by higher
activity levels in other sectors of the North Sea, particularly Holland.
In Asia, during the first nine months of 1996, demand for offshore drilling
rigs has remained stable while the supply of actively marketed offshore
drilling rigs has continued to fall. Management anticipates that activity
levels for offshore drilling rigs in Asia should remain fairly stable for
the remainder of 1996 unless there is a significant deterioration in oil
prices.
The Company's barge drilling rigs in Venezuela generally operate under
long-term contracts with Lagoven S.A. ("Lagoven"), a subsidiary of the
Venezuela national oil company. As a result, their activity levels are not
as dependent on oil prices.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On June 12, 1996, the Company acquired DUAL DRILLING COMPANY ("Dual") in a
purchase acquisition. The Company's consolidated financial statements
include the results of Dual from the June 12, 1996 acquisition date. The
acquired Dual operations consisted of a fleet of 20 offshore drilling rigs,
including 10 jackup rigs and 10 platform rigs. Five of Dual's jackup rigs
are located in the Gulf of Mexico, four jackup rigs are located offshore
Indonesia, India and Qatar and the remaining jackup rig is now in a
Malaysia shipyard for modifications and enhancements. Of the 10 platform
rigs operated by Dual, seven are currently located in the Gulf of Mexico,
and one, which is not owned but managed by Dual, is located off the coast
of China. The remaining two platform rigs, formerly located off the coast

The Company's consolidated revenues, operating margin and operating income
(defined as revenues less operating expenses, depreciation and general and
administrative expenses) for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 increased significantly from the same periods in 1995. The increases
were due primarily to increased average day rates and utilization for the
Company's rigs and vessels in 1996 and the return to work of various rigs
and vessels that were in shipyards for major modifications and enhancements
in the prior year periods.

Contract Drilling
- -----------------
The following is an analysis of the Company's offshore drilling rigs at
September 30, 1996 and 1995:
1996 1995
---- ----
Jackup rigs:
Gulf of Mexico 23 18
North Sea 6 6
Asia 5 (1) -
Total jackup rigs 34 24
Barge rigs - Venezuela 10 10
Platform rigs 8 (2) -
Total 52 34
(1) Includes one jackup rig operated by the Company that is 49%
owned.
(2) Seven are located in the Gulf of Mexico and one is not owned
but is operated under a management contract off the coast of
China.
Revenues and operating margins for the Company's contract drilling segment
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were up 93% and 128%,
respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were up 63%
and 87%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The
significantly improved 1996 results were primarily due to increased current
year activity levels in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea and the
contribution from rigs acquired from Dual. Average day rates for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1996 on the Company's jackup rigs in
the Gulf of Mexico increased by 41% and 32%, respectively, and average day
rates on the Company's North Sea jackup rigs increased by 11% and 9%,
respectively, as compared to the prior year periods.
The 1996 results also benefited from the return to work of three of the
Company's jackup rigs, two in the North Sea and one in the Gulf of Mexico,
that were undergoing major modifications and enhancements in the prior year
periods. The increased revenue and operating margin levels in 1996 were
also due to payments received in 1996 on the Venezuela barge drilling rigs
related to the recovery of past cost increases.
The above increases in revenue and operating margin were partially offset
by two barge drilling rigs in Venezuela coming off contract in the second
quarter of 1995 and a North Sea jackup rig undergoing modification in the
third quarter of 1996. One of the barge drilling rigs returned to work in
mid-May 1996 and the other in early-July 1996 under new long-term contracts
with Lagoven.
18<PAGE>
The Venezuelan currency experienced significant devaluation in the first
half of 1994 and the Venezuelan government established policies to control
the exchange rate of the Venezuelan currency and severely restricted the
conversion of Venezuelan currency to U.S. dollars. The Venezuelan
government further devalued the Venezuela currency against the U.S. dollar
in late 1995. In April 1996, the Venezuela government removed all
conversion and exchange controls and the Venezuelan currency began trading
freely. To date, the Company has not experienced problems associated with
receiving U.S. dollar payments with respect to the U.S. dollar portion of
its contracts with Lagoven. Changes in these conditions, other policy
enactments, or political developments in Venezuela could have an adverse
effect upon the Company. However, the Company believes such adverse
effects are unlikely due to the volume of U.S. dollars paid to the parent
company of Lagoven for its oil exports.
Marine Transportation
- ---------------------
The following is an analysis of the Company's marine transportation vessels
as of June 30, 1996 and 1995:
1996 1995
---- ----
AHTS * 6 6
Supply 23 21
Mini-Supply 8 8
Total 37 35
* Anchor handling tug supply vessels.
Revenues and operating margins for the Company's marine transportation
segment for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were up 54% and 95%,
respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were up 58%
and 137%, respectively, in comparison to the prior year periods. The 1996
results improved significantly from the prior year periods due to increased
current year activity levels in the Gulf of Mexico.
Average day rates for the Company's marine transportation vessels for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased by 38% and 29%
from the prior year periods. The 1996 results also benefited from the
return to work in mid-1995 of four mini-supply vessels that were undergoing
modifications in the prior year periods and the purchase of six supply
vessels in late-1995, four of which were previously operated under
operating lease agreements.
Depreciation and Amortization
- -----------------------------
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 61% and 36% for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, as compared
to the prior year periods due primarily to depreciation and amortization
associated with the rigs acquired from Dual, depreciation associated with
major modifications and enhancements on various rigs and vessels that
returned to work in 1995 and 1996, the addition of a North Sea jackup rig
in March 1995 and depreciation on six supply vessels purchased in late
1995.

Other Income (Expense)
- ----------------------
Other income (expense) for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 was as follows (in thousands):
THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30,
------------------ ------------------
1996 1995 1996 1995
-------- -------- -------- --------
Interest income $ 1,051 $ 986 $ 3,385 $ 4,787
Interest expense (6,319) (3,912) (14,755) (12,407)
Other, net 2,803 874 10,525 2,217
$(2,465) $(2,052) $ (845) $(5,403)
The Company's interest income decreased for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 as compared to the prior year period due primarily to lower
average cash balances in the current year.
The Company's interest expense increased for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the prior year periods due
primarily to the addition of the debt included in the Dual acquisition.
"Other, net" increased for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the prior year period due primarily to a $2.9 million gain on
the sale of securities in the third quarter of 1996 as discussed in
"Note 3 - Other Income" to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
"Other, net" increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the prior year period as a result of the $2.9 million gain on
sale of securities discussed above, and as a result of a $6.4 million gain
on settlement with TransAmerican Natural Gas Corporation in the second
quarter of 1996 as discussed in "Note 3 - Other Income" to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------
The Company's provisions for income taxes increased significantly for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the prior
year periods due primarily to increased deferred income tax provisions in
the current year periods. The Company's U.S. deferred income tax
provisions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
increased by $9.8 million and $21.4 million, respectively, from the prior
year periods due primarily to the timing of the recognition of the expected
utilization or expiration of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards. The
deferred income tax provisions in the U.S., Venezuela and the United
Kingdom also increased for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 as compared to the prior year periods due, in part, to increased
differences in the book and tax basis of property and equipment as the
Company's asset additions and enhancements have increased the difference
between the book and tax basis of the Company's property and equipment.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures
- ----------------------------------
The Company's cash flow from operations and capital expenditures for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were as follows (in
thousands):
1996 1995
-------- --------
Cash flow from operations $148,131 $ 61,246
Capital expenditures
Sustaining $ 10,755 $ 8,878
Enhancements 82,262 81,555
Acquisitions 13,271 12,760
$106,288 $103,193
Cash flow from operations increased by $86.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the prior year period. The
increase in cash flow from operations is primarily a result of increased
operating margins in the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the prior
year period.
Management anticipates that capital expenditures in 1996 will be
approximately $180.0 million to $210.0 million, including $20.0 million to
$25.0 million for existing operations, $110.0 million to $120.0 million
modifications and enhancements and $50.0 million to $65.0 million for
acquisitions of rigs and vessels. The Company may spend additional funds
to acquire rigs or vessels in 1996, depending on market conditions and
opportunities.
Financing and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's long-term debt, total capital and debt to capital ratios at
September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 are summarized below (in
thousands, except percentages):
SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31,
1996 1995
------------- ------------
Long-term debt $ 253,524 $159,201
Total capital 1,068,236 690,450
Long-term debt to total capital 24% 23%
The increase in long-term debt relates primarily to $128.2 million of debt
assumed in the acquisition of Dual, offset in part by scheduled repayments
of existing debt. The total capital of the Company increased due primarily
to the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock in the acquisition
of Dual valued at $218.4 million, the net increase in long-term debt as
discussed above and the profitability of the Company for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.
21<PAGE>
On June 12, 1996, the Company acquired Dual pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Merger among the Company, DDC Acquisition Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, and Dual (the "Merger Agreement") approved by
Dual stockholders on that date. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement,
each share of Dual common stock was immediately converted into the right to
receive 0.625 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company issued
approximately 10.1 million shares of its common stock to Dual stockholders
in connection with the acquisition of Dual.
The Company had $39.0 million undrawn under a revolving line of credit at
September 30, 1996. The revolving line of credit is reduced semi-annually
by $7.0 million commencing in October 1996, with the remaining line
expiring in October 2001. See "Note 4 - Long-Term Debt" to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's liquidity position at September 30, 1996 and December 31,
1995 is summarized in the table below (in thousands, except ratios):
SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31,
1996 1995
------------- ------------
Cash and short-term investments $89,521 $82,064
Working capital 95,149 78,945
Current ratio 1.9 1.9
Based on current energy industry conditions, management believes cash flow
from operations, the Company's existing credit facility and the Company's
working capital should be sufficient to fund the Company's short and long-
term liquidity needs.
OTHER MATTERS
As of September 30, 1996, the Company has purchased $23.2 million (face
amount) of the Dual 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 ("9 7/8%
Notes") on the open market. Additionally, in July 1996 $5.0 million (face
amount) of the 9 7/8% Notes were redeemed pursuant to an offer by Dual to
purchase the 9 7/8% Notes following a change in control.
In October 1996, the Company agreed to purchase a jackup rig located in
Asia. The purchase was completed in November 1996.
PRIVATE LITIGATION SECURITIES REFORM ACT OF 1995
This report contains forward-looking statements based on current
expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The
forward-looking statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of
