                      DUAL HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1 - Unaudited Financial Statements


         The  consolidated   financial  statements  included  herein  have  been
prepared by Dual Holding Company (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  presentation  of the  financial
position,  results  of  operations,  and of 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  Company  is  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  ENSCO  International
Incorporated ("ENSCO").


         Results of  operations  for the three and six month  periods ended June
30, 1999 are not necessarily  indicative of results of operations  which 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 - Related Party Transactions

         At June 30, 1999,  the Company's  three jackup rigs and seven  platform
rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, and two jackup rigs in the Asia Pacific region, were
under bareboat charter to wholly-owned  subsidiaries of ENSCO to achieve certain
operating  and  marketing  efficencies.   The  terms  of  the  bareboat  charter
agreements  with ENSCO  provide for fixed daily rates to be paid to the Company.
The  fixed  daily  rates of the ten rigs  chartered  in the Gulf of  Mexico  are
reduced  by 50% if a rig is idle for more than 30  consecutive  days.  The fixed
daily  rates of the rigs  chartered  in the Asia  Pacific  region are reduced to
$1,500 when the rigs are idle. The bareboat charter agreements may be terminated
with one month's prior notice given by either party.

         The Company has a Master Services Agreement with ENSCO. Under the terms
of the Master Services Agreement, ENSCO provides certain shorebase and corporate
services for the  Company's  domestic and foreign  operations.  The Company pays
ENSCO a monthly fee of $400,000 for these services,  which the Company  believes
is reasonable for the services provided.

         During 1998, the Company borrowed $80.0 million from ENSCO to meet cash
flow  requirements  for  capital  upgrades  and  enhancements  to the  Company's
drilling rigs.  Interest expense on the outstanding  debt totaled  approximately
$2.0  million  and  $300,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  1999 and 1998,
respectively.  The Company made no payments of principal or interest  during the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

         The Company is a guarantor of ENSCO's $185.0 million  revolving  credit
agreement  established in May 1998. As of June 30, 1999 there were no borrowings
outstanding under the credit agreement.

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

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

         The  Company  owns 15  offshore  drilling  rigs and  provides  offshore
drilling services to the oil and gas industry.  The Company's  drilling rigs are
located in North America and the Asia Pacific  region.  Demand for the Company's
services is  significantly  affected by  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  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.

         The  Company's  revenues  are  derived  from rigs  contracted  to third
parties and from charter fees from rigs contracted to wholly-owned  subsidiaries
of ENSCO under bareboat charter agreements. The Company's drilling rigs that are
bareboat chartered to ENSCO are not as sensitive to day rate fluctuations as the
Company's  drilling rigs contracted  directly to third parties,  due to the fact
that the charter rates with ENSCO are generally fixed for longer periods of time
and are not directly impacted by market day rates. However, the bareboat charter
agreements  with ENSCO  provide  for reduced day rates when rigs are idle in the
Asia Pacific region and when rigs are idle for more than 30 consecutive  days in
the Gulf of Mexico.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following is an analysis of the offshore drilling rigs owned by the
Company at June 30, 1999 and 1998:

                                                         Number of Rigs
                                                        -----------------
                                                         1999       1998
                                                        ------     ------
          Jackup rigs:
             North America......................           3          3
             Asia Pacific.......................           5          5
                                                          --         --
                Total jackup rigs...............           8          8

           Platform Rigs - North America.........          7          7
                                                          --         --

                Total...........................          15         15
                                                          ==         ==

         All of the North  America  jackup and platform  rigs were  chartered to
ENSCO for the three and six month periods  ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.  Two of
the Company's  five jackup rigs located in the Asia Pacific region are chartered
to ENSCO,  effective  October  1998 and  April  1999,  respectively.  All of the
charter  agreements  between the Company and ENSCO are continuing.  In addition,
the Company operated, until April 1999, one platform rig off the coast of China,
which was managed,  but not owned by the Company.  All of the Company's contract
drilling  revenue in the three and six month  periods  ended June 30, 1999,  and
1998,  was  generated  from the jackup rigs and the one  non-owned  platform rig
located in the Asia Pacific region. The Company's three jackup rigs that are not
under a bareboat  charter  agreement  with ENSCO are currently  idle and stacked
offshore Singapore.

Revenues

         Contract Drilling

         For the three and six months  ended June 30,  1999,  contract  drilling
revenues  decreased  $11.9  million,   or  89%,  and  $19.1  million,   or  76%,
respectively,  as compared to the prior year  periods. The decrease results from
reduced utilization,  as one additional jackup rig was idle during the first six
months of 1999 as compared to the prior year  period.  In  addition,  two jackup
rigs that operated  under  drilling  contracts  during 1998 are now chartered to
ENSCO,  thereby  generating  charter fees instead of contract  drilling  revenue
during 1999.

         ENSCO Charter Fees

         ENSCO  charter  fees for the three and six months  ended June 30,  1999
increased by $3.1 million,  or 34%, and $8.4 million, or 48%,  respectively,  as
compared  to the  prior  year  periods.  The  increase  is due  in  part  to the
additional  charter of two jackup rigs in the Asia Pacific region,  bringing the
total number of jackup rigs under charter to five.  Also, the increase  reflects
higher  charter fees for the jackup rigs and platform rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
resulting from increased rig values.

Contract Drilling Expense

         For the three and six months  ended June 30,  1999,  contract  drilling
expenses  decreased  by  $6.0  million,  or  76%,  and  $6.8  million,  or  53%,
respectively,  as compared to the prior year periods.  The decrease is primarily
attributable to lower utilization and the associated cost savings resulting from
one  additional  idle jackup rig, and two  additional  jackup rigs  chartered to
ENSCO during the first six months of 1999 as compared to the prior year period.

Depreciation and Amortization

         Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  for the three and six  months
ended June 30, 1999 increased by $2.7 million, or 54%, and $5.5 million, or 55%,
respectively,  as  compared  to the prior  year  periods.  The  increase  is due
primarily to enhancement  projects that were  completed  subsequent to the first
quarter of 1998.

Interest Expense, Net

         Interest expense, net increased by $600,000,  or 24%, and $1.6 million,
or 32%,  respectively,  for the  three and six  months  ended  June 30,  1999 as
compared to the prior year periods.  The increase is due primarily to borrowings
from ENSCO during 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures

         The Company's cash provided by  operations  and cash  used for  capital
expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were as follows (in
thousands):

                                              1999              1998
                                            --------          --------

     Cash provided by operations......      $ 19,468          $ 26,812
                                            ========          ========

     Capital expenditures.............      $ 14,173          $ 73,095
                                            ========          ========

         Cash flow from operations  decreased by $7.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 as compared with the prior year period. The decrease in cash
flow from operations is primarily attributable to reduced cash flow from working
capital  changes and the decrease in  operating  margin  resulting  from reduced
utilization.

         Capital  expenditures  for the six months ended June 30, 1999 decreased
by $58.9  million as compared to the prior year period.  In the first six months
of 1998,  two of the Company's Asia Pacific jackup rigs were in the shipyard for
major modification and upgrade projects, and other modification projects were in

                                       9
<PAGE>

progress for the Company's platform rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. The 1999 capital
expenditures  relate to a platform  rig  upgrade  project in the Gulf of Mexico,
residual charges from various prior year upgrade projects and sustaining capital
additions.

Financing and Capital Resources

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

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

        Cash and cash equivalents.......       $ 18,165      $ 10,790
        Working capital.................         17,887        10,273
        Current ratio...................            2.3           1.5

         Management  believes that the Company may need to  supplement  its cash
flow from operations in the second half of 1999 with additional  borrowings from
ENSCO in  order  to meet  its  capital  expenditure  requirements.  The  Company
anticipates that capital expenditures for rig upgrades and sustaining operations
will approximate $10.0 million during the remainder of 1999.

MARKET RISK

         The Company uses derivative financial instruments,  on a limited basis,
to hedge against its exposure to changes in foreign currencies. The Company does
not use financial  instruments for trading purposes.  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 no  foreign  currency
exchange contracts  outstanding.  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's Year 2000 issues are being addressed in conjunction  with
ENSCO's worldwide Year 2000 Plan. The following  disclosure is from ENSCO's Form
10-Q for the  quarterly  period ended June 30, 1999 and  addresses  ENSCO's Year
2000 status.

         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 complaint 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 complaint.  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.  With respect to
drilling rig 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 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 based systems Year
2000  compliant  are  being  made in  conjunction  with  the  Company's  ongoing
equipment upgrades, and should be completed by September 1999.

         The Company's non-IT systems also include  telephone  systems and other
office based electronic equipment.  With respect to office based non-IT systems,

                                      10
<PAGE>

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.

         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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This report contains  forward-looking   statements   based  on  current
expectations  that  involve  a number  of risks  and  uncertainties.  Generally,
forward-looking   statements  include  words  or  phrases  such  as  "management
anticipates,"  "the Company  believes," "the Company  anticipates" and words and
phrases  of similar  impact,  and  include  but are not  limited  to  statements
regarding  future  operations  and  business  environment.  The  forward-looking
statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation  Reform Act of 1995.  The factors that could cause actual  results to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements include the following: (i)
industry  conditions and competition,  (ii) the cyclical nature of 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 government regulation,  as well as repeal or modification of same, affecting
the oil and gas industry and the Company's operations in particular,  (viii) and
the risks described from time to time in the Company's reports to the Securities
and Exchange Commission,  which include 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.  The Company
will adopt this accounting standard as required by January 1, 2001.

         Information   required  under  Item  3.  has  been   incorporated  into
