                    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  and its  subsidiaries  as of June 30,  1999 and the
related  consolidated  statements of operations  and of cash flows for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.  These financial  statements
are 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  interim  financial  statements  for  them 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,  1998,  and the  related
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented  herein),  and in our report  dated  January 25, 1999 we  expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheet as of
December 31, 1998, 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 accompanying consolidated financial statements of ENSCO International
Incorporated  (the  "Company")  have been prepared in accordance  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles,  pursuant to the rules and  regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission included in the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of  Regulation  S-X. The  financial  information  included  herein is
unaudited  but,  in  the  opinion  of  management,   includes  all   adjustments
(consisting  of normal  recurring  adjustments)  which are  necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
the interim periods presented.  The December 31, 1998 consolidated balance sheet
data was derived from  audited  financial  statements,  but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

       The  financial  data for the three and six month  periods  ended June 30,
1999   included   herein   have  been   subjected   to  a   limited   review  by
PricewaterhouseCoopers  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 six month periods ended June 30,
1999 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results of operations  that will be
realized for the year ending  December 31, 1999.  It is  recommended  that these
financial  statements be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's  consolidated
financial  statements  and notes  thereto for the year ended  December  31, 1998
included  in  the  Company's  Annual  Report  to  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission on Form 10-K.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

       For the three and six month periods  ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,  there
were no adjustments  to net income (loss) for purposes of calculating  basic and
diluted  earnings  (loss) per share.  The following is a  reconciliation  of the
weighted average common shares used in the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per
share computations (in millions):

                                               Three Months       Six Months

                                              -----    -----    -----    -----

  Weighted average common shares - basic .... 136.4    141.4    136.4    141.4

  Potentially dilutive common shares:

  Weighted average common shares - diluted .. 136.4    142.6    137.2    142.8
                                              =====    =====    =====    =====

       For the three months ended June 30, 1999, .2 milion shares of  restricted
stock  grants and 1.1 million  shares of stock  options were  excluded  from the
computation  of diluted  loss per share  because  their  effect  would have been
antidilutive.

Note 3 - Contract Expirations

       In January 1999, the Company and Petroleos de Venezuela,  S.A.  ("PDVSA")
agreed upon the early  expiration of the contracts on six of the Company's barge
rigs in Venezuela.  The six contracts were  originally  scheduled to expire from
May to September of 1999. As a result of the early  expiration of the contracts,
the Company received lump sum payments totaling $18.4 million,  all of which was
recognized  as revenue in the first  quarter of 1999.  The  Company  experienced
early  termination  of the  contracts  of certain  other  rigs  during the first
quarter of 1999, and early  termination  proceeds of approximately  $2.0 million
related to these rigs is also included in revenue for the first quarter of 1999.

Note 4 - Segment Information

       The Company's  operations  are  categorized  into two operating  segments
which are differentiated based on the core services provided by the Company, (1)
contract drilling services and (2) marine transportation services. The Company's
contract drilling segment owns a fleet of 52 offshore  drilling rigs,  including
36 jackup rigs,  nine barge rigs and seven platform  rigs. The Company's  marine
transportation  segment owns a fleet of 36 oilfield support  vessels.  Operating
income   (loss)  for  each  segment   includes  an  allocation  of  general  and
administrative expenses of the Company's corporate office.  Depreciation expense
of the Company's  corporate  office is not allocated to the operating  segments.
Segment  information for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and
1998 is as follows (in millions):

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

Business Environment

       ENSCO  International  Incorporated  is one of the  leading  international
providers of offshore  drilling services and marine  transportation  services to
the oil  and  gas  industry.  The  Company's  operations  are  conducted  in the
geographic regions of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America.

       Demand for the Company's services is significantly  affected by worldwide
expenditures  for oil and gas  drilling.  Expenditures  for oil and gas drilling
activity fluctuate based upon many factors including world economic  conditions,
the legislative  environment in the U.S. and other major  countries,  production
levels  and other  activities  of OPEC and other oil and gas  producers  and the
impact  that these and other  events have on the  current  and  expected  future
pricing of oil and natural gas.

       Concern  over  excess  oil  supplies  and the  resulting  curtailment  or
deferral of exploration and development  spending by oil companies  continues to
adversely  impact  industry  conditions.  Demand  for  drilling  rigs and marine
vessels remains depressed,  and day rates and utilization  continued to decrease
during the first and second  quarters  of 1999.  By  several  measures,  current
industry  conditions  are  the  worst  that  have  been  experienced  since  the
mid-1980s.

       During the first and second  quarters of 1999 oil  prices increased  from
their  low  reached  at the end of 1998,  and  recently  prices  for West  Texas
Intermediate  crude oil have  exceeded  $21.00 per barrel.  The  increase in oil
prices is due primarily to cutbacks in oil  production by OPEC which were agreed
to in March  1999.  Whether or not the  recent  increase  in oil prices  will be
sustained is not determinable at the present time.  Although the recent increase
in oil  prices  improves  the  likelihood  of  oil  companies  increasing  their
exploration  and  development  spending,  the  timing  of  any  exploration  and
development  spending  increase and the impact on the Company's  operations  and
financial  results are uncertain.  The Company  currently expects that day rates
and utilization will show little improvement domestically,  and will continue to
deteriorate in the near term in international  markets. As a result, the Company
anticipates that it will incur a net loss for the year ending December 31, 1999.

    Results of Operations

       The  Company's  results for the second  quarter and six months ended June
30, 1999 reflect the continuation of the negative trend that began in the second
quarter of 1998. The Company has continued to experience  decreases in day rates
and  utilization,  as well as more  recently the early  termination  of drilling
contracts.  During the first quarter of 1999, the Company received $20.4 million
as a result of the early termination of various drilling contracts, accelerating
the receipt of revenue which  otherwise would have been realized over the course
of 1999.

       The following analysis  highlights the Company's  consolidated  operating
results  for the three and six month  periods  ended June 30,  1999 and 1998 (in
millions):

   (1)   The  Company  sold  four  barge  rigs  in  October  1998  and
         completed  construction  of three new  barge   rigs that were
         added to the Company's fleet  during  the  first  and  second
         quarters   of  1999.   The  three  newly   constructed  barge
         rigs were delivered to Venezuela in March,
         April, and June, respectively.

   (2)   In April 1999, the Company  completed the operating  contract
         for a platform  rig that was  located off the coast of China.
         The platform  rig was not owned by the Company,  but operated
         under a management  contract.  The Company's  seven remaining
         platform rigs are all located in the Gulf of Mexico.

       Second quarter 1999 revenues for the Company's  contract drilling segment
compared to the second quarter of 1998 decreased by $140.2 million,  or 66%, and
operating  margin  decreased by $121.3  million,  or 88%.  These  decreases  are
primarily  due to lower  average day rates,  which  decreased 54% from the prior
year  quarter,  and lower  utilization,  which  decreased  to 63% in the  second
quarter of 1999 from 91% in the  second  quarter of 1998.  Second  quarter  1999
operating expenses for the contract drilling segment decreased by $18.9 million,
or 26%, from the prior year quarter due primarily to reduced utilization and the
impact of cost reduction initiatives implemented by the Company.

       For the six  months  ended  June  30, 1999,  revenues for  the  Company's
contract  drilling segment decreased $243.5 million, or 56% and operating margin
decreased $210.1  million, or 74%, from the prior year  period. These  decreases
are primarily due to lower average day rates, which decreased 49% from the prior
year period,  and lower  utilization,  which decreased to 67% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 from 92% in the six months  ended June 30,  1998.  Operating
expenses  for the  contract  drilling  segment in the six months  ended June 30,
1999,  decreased  by $33.4  million,  or 23%,  from the prior year period due to
reduced  utilization  and the impact of cost reduction  efforts,  which include,
among other things,  reductions in personnel and decreases in performance  based
compensation and benefits.

     North America Jackup Rigs

       For the second quarter of 1999,  revenues for the Company's North America
jackup  rigs  decreased  by $69.9  million,  or 70%,  and the  operating  margin
decreased by $63.0 million, or 94%, from the prior year quarter. The decrease in
revenues and operating  margin is primarily due to a 68% decrease in average day
rates,  and a slight  decrease in utilization to 88% in the current year quarter
from  93% in the  prior  year  quarter.  Operating  expenses  decreased  by $6.9
million,  or 21%,  from the prior year  quarter  due  primarily  to cost  saving
measures.

       For the six months ended June 30, 1999,  revenues for the Company's North
America  jackup rigs  decreased by $144.7  million,  or 69%,  and the  operating
margin  decreased by $130.7  million,  or 90%,  from the prior year period.  The
decrease in revenue and  operating  margin is primarily due to a 66% decrease in
average day rates and a decrease  in  utilization,  to 88% in the  current  year
period as compared to 96% in the prior year period. Operating expenses decreased
by $14.0 million,  or 22%, from the prior year period primarily from cost saving
measures and lower utilization.

     Europe Jackup Rigs

       Second  quarter  revenues  for the Europe  jackup  rigs  decreased  $45.7
million,  or 76%, and the operating margin  decreased by $38.1 million,  or 86%,
from the prior year quarter.  The decrease in revenues and  operating  margin is
primarily  due to a 57%  decrease  in  average  day rates  and to a  significant

                                       13
<PAGE>

decrease in  utilization,  to 51% in the current  year  quarter from 100% in the
prior year quarter.  Operating expenses decreased by $7.6 million,  or 48%, from
the  prior  year  quarter  as a result  of  lower  utilization  and cost  saving
measures.

       For the six months  ended June 30, 1999,  revenues for the Europe  jackup
rigs decreased by $70.2 million,  or 60%, and the operating  margin decreased by
$60.3 million,  or 69%, from the prior year period. The decrease in revenues and
operating margin is due to a 46% decrease in average day rates and to a decrease
in  utilization,  to 68% in the current  year period from 100% in the prior year
period.  Operating  expenses  decreased by $9.9 million,  or 32%, from the prior
year period primarily from reduced utilization and cost saving measures.

     Asia Pacific Jackup Rigs

       Second  quarter  revenues for the Asia Pacific  jackup rigs  decreased by
$11.7 million,  or 53%, and the operating margin  decreased by $9.5 million,  or
75%, from the prior year quarter.  The decrease in revenues and operating margin
is due to a 15% decrease in average day rates,  and to a decrease in utilization
to 37% in the current year quarter from 65% in the prior year quarter. Operating
expenses  decreased  by $2.2  million,  or 23%,  from the prior year quarter due
primarily to reduced utilization and cost cutting measures.

       For the six months  ended June 30,  1999,  revenues  for the Asia Pacific
jackup  rigs  decreased  by $19.5  million,  or 43%,  and the  operating  margin
decreased by $16.5 million,  or 66%, from the prior year period. The decrease in
revenues and operating  margin is due to a 16% decrease in average day rates and
to a decrease in  utilization  to 47% in the current year period from 68% in the
prior year period.  Operating expenses  decreased by $3.0 million,  or 15%, from
the prior  year  period as a result of  decreased  utilization  and cost  saving
measures.

     South America Barge Rigs

       Second  quarter  revenues for the South America  barge rigs  decreased by
$11.3 million,  or 55%, and operating margin decreased by $10.0 million, or 95%,
from the prior year quarter.  The decrease in revenues and  operating  margin is
primarily due to reduced  utilization.  Four of the ten barge rigs that operated
during  the prior  year  quarter  were  sold in  October  1998,  and five of the
remaining six barge rigs that  operated  during the prior year quarter were idle
during the second  quarter of 1999.  These  decreases  in revenue and  operating
margin were partially offset by the operating results of three newly constructed
barge rigs that commenced operations in March, April and June of 1999. Operating
expenses  decreased $1.3 million,  or 13%, from the prior year quarter,  as cost
reductions  attributable  to cost saving  measures,  the four barge rigs sold in
October 1998 and the five barge rigs idle during the second quarter of 1999 were
only partially offset by the costs  associated with the three newly  constructed
barge rigs.

       For the six months  ended June 30, 1999,  revenues for the South  America
barge rigs decreased by $13.8 million, or 32%, and operating margin decreased by
$6.2 million,  or 28%, from the prior year period.  The decrease in revenues and
operating margin is primarily due to reduced utilization.  Four of the ten barge
rigs that operated  during the prior year period were sold in October 1998,  and
utilization of the remaining six barge rigs that operated  during the prior year
period  decreased from 100% to 13% in the current year period.  The decreases in
revenue and operating margin were partially  offset by the operating  results of
three newly constructed barge rigs that commenced operations in March, April and
June of 1999, and by lump sum early contract termination payments totaling $18.4
million in January 1999. Operating expenses decreased $7.6 million, or 36%, from
the prior year quarter, as cost reductions attributable to cost saving measures,
the four barge  rigs sold in October  1998 and the  reduced  utilization  of the
remaining  six barge rigs  during the current  year  period were only  partially
offset by the costs associated with the three newly constructed barge rigs.

     Platform Rigs

       Second quarter  revenues for the platform rigs decreased by $1.6 million,
or 18%, and operating margin  decreased by $700,000,  or 20%, as compared to the
prior year quarter.  The decrease in revenues and operating  margin is primarily
due to a decrease in  utilization to 53% in the current year quarter as compared
to 86% in the prior year quarter.  Operating expenses decreased by $900,000,  or
17%, from the prior year quarter  primarily due to reduced  utilization and cost
savings measures.

       For the six months  ended June 30, 1999,  revenues for the platform  rigs
increased  by $4.7  million,  or 29%,  and  operating  margin  increased by $3.6
million,  or 55%,  from the prior year  period.  The  increase in  revenues  and
operating  margin is primarily due to a lump sum contract  cancellation  payment
received in the first quarter of 1999,  and to higher  drilling day rates earned
by certain rigs in the current year period  compared to lower  standby day rates
earned in the prior year  period.  In 1998,  certain rigs  received  standby day
                                      14
<PAGE>
rates while  undergoing  enhancement  modifications  in the shipyard.  Operating
expenses for platform rigs  increased by $1.1 million,  or 11%, due primarily to
the higher cost associated  with drilling  operations in the current year period
compared to the lower cost incurred by several rigs while in the shipyard during
the prior year period.

        (1)   Anchor handling tug supply vessels.

        (2)    In  September  1998,  one of  the  Company's  large  AHTS
               vessels sank while supporting  drilling  operations for a
               customer  in the Gulf of  Mexico.  The  vessel  was fully
               insured and the Company  recognized a gain on the loss of
               the vessel during the third quarter of 1998.

        (3)    During the  fourth  quarter of 1998,  the  Company  added
               towing  capabilities  to one of its larger supply vessels
               and  reclassified  the vessel as an AHTS vessel effective
               January 1, 1999.

        (4)    All  of  the   Company's   marine  transportation  vessels
               are located in the Gulf of Mexico.

       Second quarter revenues for the Company's marine  transportation  segment
decreased by $14.4  million,  or 63%, and  operating  margin  decreased by $12.0
million,  or 97%,  from the prior year  quarter.  The  decrease in revenues  and
operating  margin is primarily due to a decrease in  utilization,  to 61% in the
current year quarter from 83% in the prior year  quarter,  and to a 48% decrease
in average  day rates.  The  Company  currently  has seven of its  vessels  cold
stacked.  Operating expenses  decreased by $2.4 million,  or 23%, from the prior
year quarter primarily due to reduced utilization and cost savings measures.

       For the six months ended June 30, 1999, revenues for the Company's marine
transportation  segment decreased by $29.8 million, or 62%, and operating margin
decreased by $25.7 million,  or 93%, from the prior year period. The decrease in
revenues and operating  margin is primarily due to a 45% decrease in average day
rates, and to a decrease in utilization,  to 62% in the current year period from
86% in the prior year period.  Operating expenses decreased by $4.1 million,  or
20%, from the prior year period  primarily due to reduced  utilization  and cost
savings measures.

Depreciation and Amortization

       For the second  quarter  and six months ended June 30, 1999, depreciation
and amortization expense increased by $4.7 million, or 23%, and by $8.5 million,
or 21%, respectively, compared with the same  periods in the prior  year.  These
increases are due primarily to enhancement  projects that were completed  during
1998 and consruction of three new barge rigs that commenced  operations in 1999,
offset in part by the sale of four barge rigs in October 1998.

Other Income (Expense)

       Other income  (expense) for the second  quarter and six months ended June

       Interest expense decreased for  the second  quarter and six  months ended
June 30, 1999 from the comparable prior year periods due to lower  average  debt
balances and an increase in  capitalized  interest  resulting from the Company's
ongoing and recently completed construction  projects.  Capitalized interest for
the second  quarter of 1999 was $2.7 million,  a $1.1 million  increase over the
prior year quarter.  Capitalized interest for the six months ended June 30, 1999
was $5.4 million, a $3.1 million increase over the comparable prior year period.

Provision for Income Taxes

       The Company's income tax provisions for the second quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1999,  decreased from the comparable  prior year periods by $44.0
million and $78.5 million, respectively, due to the reduced profitability of the
Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures

       The Company's cash flow from operations and capital expenditures  for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were as follows (in millions):

                                                    1999            1998

                                                   ======          ======

       Cash flow from operations  decreased by $184.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the prior year  period.  The decrease in cash
flow from  operations  is  primarily a result of reduced  operating  margins and
reduced cash flow from working capital changes.

       Management  anticipates that capital  expenditures for the full year 1999
will be approximately $275 million,  including $220 million for new construction
projects, $35 million for enhancements and $20 million for ongoing operations.

       The Company has two rigs under construction, the ENSCO 7500 and the ENSCO
101. The ENSCO 7500 is a  semisubmersible  rig, and is being constructed under a
contract for Burlington Resources. The total cost of the ENSCO 7500 is projected
to be  approximately  $200  million,  plus an  additional  $25 million for spare
capital equipment.  The expected construction  completion date of the ENSCO 7500
is in the third quarter of 2000, which precedes the date under which the Company
would be subject to late delivery  penalties by approximately  nine months.  The
ENSCO 101 is an  international  class,  harsh  environment,  jackup rig,  and is
scheduled for delivery during the first quarter of 2000. Currently,  the Company
does not have a contract for the ENSCO 101.

Financing and Capital Resources

       The Company's long-term debt, total capital and debt to capital ratios at
June  30, 1999  and  December 31, 1998 are summarized below (in millions, except
percentages):

                                              June 30,          December 31,
                                                1999                1998
                                              --------            --------

Long-term debt ...........................    $  373.3            $  375.5
Total capital ............................     1,624.1             1,620.5
Long-term debt to total capital ..........       23.0%               23.2%

       The decrease in long-term debt is due primarily to debt repayments in the
first six  months of 1999.  The  total  capital  of the  Company  increased  due
primarily  to the  profitability  of the Company for the six month  period ended
June 30, 1999, offset in part by reductions in long-term debt and the payment of
dividends.

       During the first  quarter of 1999,  the Company  repaid $19.6  million of
term loans  outstanding  at December 31, 1998.  These loans were secured by four
Venezuela  barge  rigs and were  required  to be repaid as a result of the early
termination of the drilling contracts of the four rigs.

                                       16
<PAGE>

       In June 1999, the Company  received a  commitment from the United  States
Maritime  Administration  ("MARAD")  for the  guarantee  of  approximately  $195
million of long-term debt for the  construction of the ENSCO 7500, the Company's
new  semisubmersible  rig.  The  MARAD  guarantee  covers  interim  construction
financing,   as  well  as  15  year  bonds  to  be  issued  upon  completion  of
construction,  which is  projected  to occur in the third  quarter of 2000.  The
Company  expects to complete the financing and begin drawing funds in the fourth
quarter of 1999.

       In order to ensure the Company has adequate  liquidity  and resources for
growth,  the Company continues to maintain its $185 million unsecured  revolving
line of credit (the "Credit  Agreement")  with a syndicate of banks.  As of June
30, 1999, the Company had the full $185 million  available for borrowings  under
the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures in May 2003.

       The  Company's  liquidity position at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998
is summarized in the table below (in millions, except ratios):

                                                   June 30,       December 31,
                                                     1999            1998
                                                    ------          ------

         Cash and cash equivalents ............     $252.7          $330.1
         Working capital ......................      209.2           316.9
         Current ratio ........................        2.6             3.0

       Management believes cash flow from  operations, the ENSCO 7500  financing
guaranteed by MARAD,  the Company's  existing Credit Agreement and the Company's
working  capital should be sufficient to fund the Company's  short and long-term
liquidity needs.

MARKET RISK

       The Company occasionally uses derivative  financial  instruments to hedge
against its exposure to changes in foreign currencies.  The Company does not use
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company predominantly
structures  its drilling rig contracts in U.S.  dollars to mitigate its exposure
to fluctuations in foreign currencies.  The Company will, however,  from time to
time, hedge its known liabilities or projected payments in foreign currencies to
reduce the impact of foreign currency gains and losses in its financial results.
At  June  30,  1999,  the  Company  had  foreign  currency  exchange   contracts
outstanding to exchange U.S. dollars for Dutch guilders, British pounds sterling
and Singapore  dollars  totaling $39.6 million.  At June 30, 1999, there were no
material unrealized gains or losses on open foreign currency exchange derivative
hedges.  Management believes that the Company's hedging activities do not expose
the Company to any material  interest rate risk,  foreign currency exchange rate
risk, commodity price risk or any other market rate or price risk.

YEAR 2000 UPDATE

       The Company has  completed  its  assessment  of its critical  information
technology (IT) systems and non-IT systems and has corrected  substantially  all
deficiencies identified. The Company believes that it is on schedule to complete
all required system  implementations  and equipment  modifications  necessary to
make the Company's critical systems Year 2000 compliant by September 1999.

       The Company's  critical IT systems are  comprised  primarily of a general
ledger  accounting  software package and related  application  modules,  a fixed
asset  system,  payroll  system  and  procurement  and  purchasing  system.  The
assessment  of the  Company's IT systems  found that some of the IT systems were
not Year 2000 compliant.  Changes to make these systems Year 2000 compliant were
made in  conjunction  with  the  Company's  planned  upgrade  cycle,  which  was
completed in June 1999.

       Non-IT systems are comprised primarily of computer  controlled  equipment
and electronic devices, including equipment with embedded microprocessors, which
are used to operate equipment on the Company's drilling rigs and marine vessels.
With respect to drilling  rig and marine  vessel based  systems,  the  Company's
assessment  indicated  that while there were certain  systems that were not Year
2000  compliant,  there would be no disruption in the operations of its drilling
rigs and  marine  vessels  as a result of the Year  2000  problem.  The  Company
conducted   testing  of  its  drilling  rig  based  equipment  with  manufacture
representatives  during the fourth  quarter of 1998 which verified the Company's
assessment. Changes to make certain drilling rig and marine vessel based systems
Year 2000  compliant are being made in  conjunction  with the Company's  ongoing
equipment upgrades, and should be completed by September 1999.

                                       17
<PAGE>

       The Company's  non-IT  systems also include  telephone  systems and other
office based electronic equipment.  With respect to office based non-IT systems,
the  Company's  assessment  indicated  that it would be  necessary to replace or
modify some existing equipment. The Company completed the necessary replacements
and modifications to its office based non-IT systems in June 1999.

       The total cost to make all systems and equipment  Year 2000  compliant is
currently estimated at $700,000,  including software and systems replaced in the
Company's  normal  upgrade  cycle.  Approximately  $500,000  has  been  spent in
modifying and upgrading  systems and equipment to date.  These  estimates do not
include  internal labor costs for employees who spend part of their time working
on the Company's Year 2000 project.

       The Company has initiated or received communication from most significant
suppliers,  customers  and financial  service  providers on the Year 2000 issue.
This communication has been used to determine the extent to which the Company is
vulnerable to these third parties' failure to remedy their own Year 2000 issues.
Although there is currently no indication that these business  partners will not
achieve their Year 2000  compliance  plans,  there can be no guarantee  that the
systems of other companies on which the Company relies will be timely converted.
Additionally,  there can be no guarantee  that the Company  will not  experience
Year 2000 problems. If the Company or its business partners experience Year 2000
compliance  problems,  material adverse business  consequences could result. The
Company  believes that the most likely negative  effects,  if any, could include
delays in payments to the Company  from  customers or payments by the Company to
suppliers and  disruptions  in shipments of equipment and materials  required to
operate the Company's drilling rigs and marine vessels.

       The Company has begun  contingency  planning for its Year 2000 issues and
is expected to have such plans  completed  during the third quarter of 1999. The
Company's  contingency  planning will primarily focus on precautionary  measures
related to safety response  requirements for operating  assets,  the shipment of
equipment  to foreign  countries  and rig crew  changes on or around  January 1,
2000.

OUTLOOK AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

       The Company currently expects that day rates and utilization for drilling
rigs and marine  transportation  vessels will remain at depressed  levels during
the  remainder of 1999 as a result of current  industry  conditions  and sharply
curtailed spending for exploration and development programs by oil companies. As
a result, the Company's financial results will be adversely affected. Due to the
short-term  nature  of many of the  Company's  contracts  and the  unpredictable
nature of oil and  natural  gas  prices,  which  affect the demand for  drilling
activity,  the extent of such adverse  change  cannot be  accurately  predicted.
While recent oil price  improvement has been  encouraging,  even if these prices
persist,  significantly  higher  day rates will  probably  not be  realized  for
several quarters.  Based on these factors, the Company anticipates it will incur
a net loss for 1999.  However,  management  remains  positive  on the  long-term
outlook for the industry and for ENSCO.

       The decline experienced in the offshore drilling  markets has resulted in
the Company stacking  certain rigs and vessels.  The Company will stack its rigs
and vessels if it does not believe  there will be a market for the  equipment in
the  near-term  or if  sufficient  cash flow cannot be  generated  to cover cash
operating costs.  Currently,  the Company has no plans to stack any of its North
America jackup rigs. In Europe,  four of the Company's rigs are currently  idle,
including  two rigs that were  stacked  during the first  quarter.  The  Company
continues to market the  remaining  two rigs.  In the Asia Pacific  region,  the
Company  has four rigs  currently  not under  contract.  The Company has stacked
three of these rigs and plans to market the remaining rig. In South America, the
Company  has  received  delivery of three new barge rigs  constructed  against a
long-term contract with Chevron. The Company's six other barge rigs in Venezuela
were idled in January 1999 as a result of early contract  terminations by PDVSA.
The Company has stacked four of the barge rigs and plans to market the remaining
two barge rigs, one of which completed a 70 day short-term  contract in June. In
the marine  transportation  segment,  there are currently two supply vessels and
five  mini-supply  vessels  stacked.  Additional  vessels will be considered for
stacking as their drydocking requirements mature during 1999.

       This  report  contains   forward-looking   statements  based  on  current
expectations that involve a number of risks and  uncertainties  that could cause

the  industry,  (iii)  worldwide  expenditures  for oil and gas  drilling,  (iv)
operational risks and insurance,  (v) risks associated with operating in foreign
jurisdictions,  (vi)  environmental  liabilities  which may arise in the  future
which are not covered by insurance or indemnity, (vii) the impact of current and
future laws and  governmental  regulation,  as well as repeal or modification of
the same,  affecting  the oil and gas industry and the  Company's  operations in
particular,  and (viii) the risks  described  from time to time in the Company's
reports to the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  including  the  Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued Statement
of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  133,   "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement requires companies to record
derivatives  on the balance  sheet as assets and  liabilities,  measured at fair
value.  Gains  and  losses  resulting  from  changes  in  the  values  of  those
derivatives  would be accounted for depending on the use of the  derivative  and
whether it qualifies  for hedge  accounting.  This  statement is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.  This
statement,  as amended by Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective  Date of FASB  Statement  No.  133," is  effective  for  fiscal  years
beginning  after June 15, 2000,  with earlier  adoption  encouraged.  ENSCO will
adopt this accounting standard as required by January 1, 2001.
