         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 1996


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     AND SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES:

     The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
have been prepared without an audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present
fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all
periods presented have been made.  Operating results for the interim period are
not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year.
It is suggested that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Company's latest annual report filed on Form 10-K.

     During March 1996, the Company completed the offering and sale of $120
million principal amount of 8-7/8% Series A Senior Notes due 2003, resulting in
net proceeds of $116 million to the Company after deducting offering-related
expenses.

     The Company holds a 37.5 percent effective interest in a Venezuelan joint
venture which operates two barge drilling rigs in Venezuela.  The Company
accounts for its interests in the Venezuelan joint venture under the cost method
as Falcon does not currently exercise significant influence over the venture.
Through December 31, 1995, the Company had received cash distributions of
approximately $1.5 million of which $600,000 was recorded as a reduction of the
investment in the joint venture in order to reduce the investment to zero, and
the balance was recognized as revenues.  During the three months ended March 31,
1996, the Company had received additional cash distributions of approximately
$397,000 which were recorded as revenues in the condensed consolidated statement
of operations during the three months ended March 31, 1996.

2.   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE:

     Net income per share of common stock has been computed on the basis of the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and,
where dilutive, the effect of common stock contingently issuable, which arises
primarily from the exercise of stock options and warrants.  Accrued dividends on
the Series B redeemable preferred stock as well as the accretion of the
difference between the value of the Series B redeemable preferred stock at the
date of issue and the redemption value have been deducted from net income for
purposes of calculating net income applicable to common shares for the three
months ended March 31, 1995.  The Company redeemed the Series B redeemable
preferred stock in December 1995.  Fully diluted earnings per share are
considered to be equal to primary earnings per share in all periods presented
because the effects of potentially dilutive securities that are not common stock
equivalents were either antidilutive or immaterial.

     The following table presents the computation of common and common
equivalent shares used in computing primary earnings per share:

3.   PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     The Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 50 percent interest
in Blake Workover in August 1995. Pro forma net income applicable to common
shares of the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995, was
$1,140,000, and net income per common share was $.04 assuming the Company had
completed the acquisition of Blake Workover and had issued the 1,199,000 shares
of common stock that were issued in connection with the acquisition of the
remaining 50 percent interest in Blake Workover as of January 1, 1995. Pro forma
revenues remained the same for all periods presented. The effects of the Blake
Workover acquisition and the issuance of the common stock have been reflected in
the Company's historic balance sheet and results of operations beginning August
1995.

     In March 1996, the Company issued $120 million of 8-7/8% Series A Senior
Notes (the Series A Notes), resulting in net proceeds of $116 million to the
Company after deducting offering-related expenses of approximately $4 million.
The Series A Notes mature on March 15, 2003, and bear interest at a rate of
8.875 percent, payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15. Beginning
March 15, 2000, the Company may redeem the Series A Notes at annually declining
redemption prices beginning at 104.4375 percent of the principal amount of such
notes. Upon change in control of the Company, as defined in the Indenture, the
Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the Series A Notes at 101
percent of the principal amount thereof.

     The Company's 12-1/2% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes (the Subordinated
Notes) mature on March 15, 2005, and bear interest at a rate of 12.5 percent,
payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15.  The Company has the option
to redeem up to 30 percent of the Subordinated Notes through March 15, 1998, at
a redemption price of 111.5 percent of the principal amount of such notes with
the proceeds of a public offering of the Company's capital stock, provided that
at least $35 million in aggregate principal of the Subordinated Notes remains
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such redemption.  Beginning March
15, 2000, the Company may redeem the Subordinated Notes at annually declining
redemption prices beginning at 104.688 percent of the principal amount of such
notes.  Upon change in control of the Company, as defined in the Indenture, the
Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the Subordinated Notes at
101 percent of the principal amount thereof.  The Subordinated Notes are senior
unsecured obligations of the Company subordinated in right of payment to all
other existing or future senior indebtedness of the Company.

 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) 


     The 9-3/4% Series B Senior Notes (the Series B Notes) mature on January 15,
2001, and bear interest at a rate of 9.75 percent, payable semiannually on
January 15 and July 15.  The Company has the option to redeem up to 30 percent
of the Series B Notes through January 15, 1997, at a redemption price of 109
percent of the principal amount thereof, with the proceeds of the sale and
issuance of capital stock of the Company, provided that at least $50 million in
aggregate principal of the Series B Notes remains outstanding following
redemption.  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company, as
defined in the Indenture, each Noteholder will have the right to require the
Company to repurchase all of such Noteholder's Notes in whole or in part at a
purchase price in cash equal to 101 percent of the principal amount thereof.

     The Floating Rate Notes bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.5 percent and are
redeemable at face value plus unpaid accrued interest at any time following 18
months after issuance (February 1994).  The Floating Rate Notes are redeemable
prior to the end of such 18-month period at a price equal to 103.5 percent of
the principal amount outstanding plus unpaid accrued interest.  If not
previously redeemed, principal amounts of the Floating Rate Notes are due in
payments of $1,000,000, $2,000,000 and $2,000,000 on the fourth, fifth and sixth
years following issuance, respectively, with the balance due January 24, 2001.

     In order to provide an additional source of funds, the Company has a
revolving credit facility with two banks providing for borrowings of up to $25.0
million, which is secured by the Company's accounts receivable. The Company had
no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility as of March 31, 1996.
Approximately $25.0 million of borrowings were available under this facility at
March 31, 1996, based on the Company's eligible borrowing base, as defined. This
facility provides that amounts borrowed will bear interest at floating rates
based on LIBOR plus 2.5 percent or 1 percent over the greater of the prime rate
or the federal funds rate plus 2.5 percent.

5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

     The Company is currently involved in various lawsuits and other
contingencies arising out of operations in the normal course of business. In the
opinion of management, uninsured losses, if any, in excess of those accrued will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations. The Company is self-insured for the
deductible portion of its insurance coverage and participates in an insurance
cooperative for most of its coverage. Most of its insurance provides for premium
adjustments based on claims experience. Future events, claims or assessments may
increase the Company's costs for such coverage. In the opinion of management,
adequate accruals have been made based on known and estimated exposures.

     The Company has multiyear employment agreements with several of its
officers. The employment agreements provide for annual salaries and
discretionary bonuses to be determined by the board of directors.

     The Company entered into contingent profits interest agreements during 1992
associated with certain acquisitions.  The agreements require annual payments of
15 percent of an agreed-upon amount to be paid to the previous rig owners and a
former mortgage holder.  This agreed-upon amount can be generally described as
domestic barge net income less overhead, depreciation and interest attributable
to these operations.  These payments, if any, continue through 1997 or until
payment of $5 million is made.  There have been no required payments under these
agreements through March 31, 1996.

     In addition, during 1994 a subsidiary of the Company acquired an interest
in a joint venture engaged in the development of drilling prospects in the
general areas of the Company's barge drilling operations and, in one instance,
has participated with several other companies in the funding of seismic
activities in south Louisiana. The Company's historical expenditures and
commitments to date for the funding and exploratory efforts of the joint venture
activities are approximately $4.0 million of which $3.2 million has been
included and recorded as other assets at March 31, 1996.

 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) 


     Future participation in the development of oil and gas prospects and
related activities will depend in large part upon the availability of cash flows
and cash balances in excess of the Company's needs to fund its obligations and
further growth in its basic contract drilling business, as well as upon future
determinations by the Company as to the attractiveness of such other activities.
Existing commitments for funding these oil and gas activities are approximately
$350,000. The Company utilizes the full-cost method to account for its oil and
gas activities.

     The Company has entered into an agreement to purchase three barge drilling
rigs for an approximate cost of $5.25 million and estimated mobilization costs
of $700,000. At March 31, 1996, the Company had made deposits of approximately
$500,000 which have been included in other assets. The seller of these rigs is
encountering logistical problems in connection with their delivery to the
Company. Management of the Company believes the deposit on these rigs is
refundable should the delivery of these rigs not be accomplished. Should these
acquisitions be completed, however, the acquisition costs will be capitalized
into rigs and equipment and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the
acquired rigs.

     In September 1995, the Company purchased a dynamically positioned 
drillship, the Peregrine I, for a purchase price of $9.8 million. At March 31, 
1996 the Peregrine I was in Singapore undergoing refurbishment and upgrade at a 
cost estimated by the Company at $25 million, of which approximately $16 million
had been incurred and included in rigs and equipment at March 31, 1996.

     In February 1996, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to acquire
the Pelerin, a dynamically positioned drillship, for $32.4 million. This
memorandum of agreement is subject to certain conditions beyond the control of
the Company, including obtaining consents of operators to the assignment of
drilling contracts. The Company expects to complete the purchase of the Pelerin
in May 1996.

     In April 1996, the Company completed the purchase of the D.K. McIntosh, a
jackup drilling rig, for a purchase price of $8.5 million.

6.   SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION:

     The Company's obligations under the Series B Notes and the Floating Rate
Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company's directly
held subsidiaries and certain of the Company's indirectly held subsidiaries on a
joint and several basis.

     The Indenture under which the Series B Notes were issued provides for
subsidiaries acquired subsequent to the issuance of the Series B Notes to be
designated as guarantors of the Series B Notes.  The Indenture also provides
that 12 specified barge rigs are to be nonrecourse rigs, whereby the Company has
the option to transfer such nonrecourse barge rigs to nonrecourse subsidiaries
at any time provided, however, that the Company may, at its option and at any
time, designate up to two of its barge rigs in substitution for any two of the
designated nonrecourse barge rigs.  In addition, up to two of the Company's
jackup rigs may be designated nonrecourse rigs provided certain financial tests
are met.  Nonrecourse subsidiaries are not required to provide guarantees of the
Series B Notes and Floating Rate Senior Notes and are not subject to certain of
the Indenture covenants.

     During December 1994, the Company transferred three nonrecourse barge rigs
to a newly formed nonguarantor subsidiary, Falcon Drilling de Venezuela, Inc.
During March 1995, Falcon Drilling de Venezuela, Inc., was merged into a
guarantor subsidiary of the Company in connection with the issuance of the
Subordinated Notes, and the three barge rigs previously designated as
nonrecourse rigs ceased being nonrecourse rigs. The following condensed
consolidating financial statements are presented for purposes of complying with
the reporting requirements of the parent company and the subsidiaries which are
guarantors under the Fixed Rate Notes. The financial statements at March 31,
1996, and December 31, 1995, include Eilert-Olsen Investments, Inc., as a
nonguarantor subsidiary. The Company believes that separate financial statements
and other disclosures of the guarantors are not material to the investors.

     Upon occurrence of an event of default (as defined) under a revolving
credit facility with two banks, the ability of certain subsidiaries of the
Company to make distributions or other transfers to the Company will be
restricted.

                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

  The Company's historical results of operations have been significantly
affected by a series of acquisitions that have resulted in the Company's current
fleet of barge and offshore rigs. The following table sets forth information
reflecting the year of acquisition of the rigs constituting the Company's
current fleet and the number of such rigs that are currently in service.

  Revenues. The Company's revenues are determined primarily by (a) the number of
rigs it has available for service and (b) demand for contract drilling and
workover services, which affects the number of days the Company's fleet is
utilized and the day rates it receives. In response to changes in demand, the
Company has modified and mobilized previously cold stacked rigs into
international markets, particularly Venezuela. In addition, the Company may, in
the future, in response to changes in demand, withdraw a rig from active service
or may reactivate a previously stacked rig, which could decrease or increase
revenues, respectively.

  Operating Costs.  Operating costs include all direct costs and expenditures
associated with operating active rigs and cold stacking inactive rigs.  These
costs and expenditures vary based on rig utilization and the number of rigs
actively marketed by the Company.  These costs and expenditures include rig
labor costs, repair, maintenance and supply expenditures, insurance costs, fuel
costs, mobilization and other costs related to operating drilling and workover
rigs.

  Operating Income.  Operating income is primarily affected by revenue factors,
but is also a function of varying levels of operating expenses.  Changes in day
rates do not affect operating expenses.  Significant changes in rig utilization
can change the level of operating expenses from period to period as the Company
may adjust the level of its actively marketed rig fleet to more closely match
anticipated level of demand.  The general and administrative expenses, which
generally include the costs of the Company's shore-based support functions, also
affect operating income.  These costs generally do not vary significantly from
period to period unless the Company materially expands its asset base, nor do
they vary over short periods of time with rig utilization.  Depreciation, which
is determined by the level of the Company's capital expenditures and
depreciation practices, is the other major determinant of operating income.

For the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
- - ---------------------------------------------------------

  Revenues.  Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996, increased 36.2
percent, or $14.9 million, over the prior period.  The $3.1 million increase in
international shallow-water drilling revenue is primarily attributable to the
mobilization of a submersible rig to Venezuela during the fourth quarter of
1995.  Domestic barge revenues were unchanged between the two periods.  Domestic
barge workover revenues were $1.2 million greater for the 1996 period primarily
due to increased utilization.  Offshore drilling revenue increased $8.1 million
due to higher utilization and day rates during the first three months of 1996
and the acquisition of five jackup rigs in September 1995.  Drillship revenues
of $2.5 million reflect the acquisition of the Peregrine II which began
operations for Falcon during February 1996.

<PAGE>
 
      ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                     AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-(Continued)


  Operating Costs.  Rig operating costs increased 34.7 percent, or $9.8 million,
primarily as a result of increased rig activity and fleet size in the
international shallow-water, offshore and drillship divisions.

  Operating Income. Operating income increased 17.3 percent, or $1.1 million, as
a result of an increase of $5.1 million of rig operating income, which was
partially offset by a net increase of approximately $1.6 million in general and
administrative expenses and a $2.4 million increase in depreciation expense
resulting from a greater number of rigs owned by the Company. The increase in
general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the following factors:
(a) the February startup of a shorebase in Brazil for the operation of the
drillship Peregrine II and (b) an increase in the Venezuela shorebase costs due
to the mobilization of a submersible rig to Venezuela.

  Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $1.7 million or 42.3 percent higher
during the 1996 period primarily due to the issuance of $50.0 million in senior
subordinated notes in March 1995.

  Amortization of Deferred Costs.  Amortization of deferred costs increased by
approximately $.1 million as a result of the costs associated with the placement
of the $50.0 million of senior subordinated notes and deferred start-up costs
incurred in Venezuela.

  Other Income, net.  Other income increased by approximately $.3 million
primarily as a result of higher interest income earned on the Company's
available cash balances and gains on sales of equipment during the period.

  Net Income.  Net income applicable to common shares increased 11.3 percent, or
approximately $.1 million, during 1996 primarily as a result of improved
operating results in the Company's offshore rig and international barge areas
and the addition of the drillship operations, all of which more than offset
increases in depreciation, interest expense, and general and administrative
expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $2.9 million for the comparable prior
period. The $.8 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities
was the result of improved operating results, offset by an increase in the
receivables component of working capital at March 31, 1996. Net cash used in
investing activities was $52.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
1996, compared to $3.0 million for the comparable prior period. The increase of
$49.1 million was due to increased capital expenditures including the
acquisitions of the drilling barge Gus Androes, the submersible rig Real
Explorer and the drillship Peregrine II. Net cash provided by financing
activities was $109.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
compared to $27.0 million for the comparable prior period. The overall increase
of $82.3 million was due primarily to the issuance of the 1996 Senior Notes.

  During the remainder of 1996, the Company currently expects to incur
additional capital expenditures of approximately $60 million including (a)
approximately $40 million for the acquisition of the drillship Pelerin and the
completion of upgrades to the drillship Peregrine I and (b) approximately $20
million for drill pipe, rig reactivations, rig enhancements and other equipment.

  The Company believes that its available funds, together with cash generated
from operations, will be sufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working
capital and debt service requirements. Future cash flows are subject to a number
of uncertainties, particularly the condition of the oil and gas industry and the
related drilling activity in the Company's markets. Liquidity of the Company
should be considered in light of the significant fluctuations in demand that may
be experienced by drilling contractors as rapid changes in oil and gas
producers' expectations and budgets occur. These fluctuations can rapidly impact
the Company's liquidity as supply and demand factors directly affect utilization
and day rates, which are the primary determinants of cash flow from the
Company's operations. There can therefore be no assurance that these resources
will continue to be sufficient to fund the Company's cash requirements. Upon the
occurrence of an event of default under the Company's revolving credit facility,
the ability of certain subsidiaries of the Company to

make distributions or other transfers to the Company will be restricted. The
Company may defer or cancel certain planned purchases or discretionary expenses
if future cash flows or market conditions are not favorable. In addition, the
Company has historically sold certain assets that it believed were nonessential
to its core businesses when it could realize value from their sale in excess of
that which the Company could reasonably expect to realize from their operation.
In addition, the Company believes that additional funding could be generated
through the public debt or equity markets, although there can be no assurances
in this regard.
