2012 Guidance:
We expect revenue efficiency to average between 90% and 93% for the coming year; however, this average annual revenue efficiency may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. We anticipate that direct rig operating costs, excluding amortization of deferred operating expenses, will range between $160,000 and $165,000 per day per rig, and shore-based and other operations support costs are expected to be an additional $12,000 to $14,000 dollars per day per rig. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the full year 2012 should range between $40 million and $45 million, including $2 million of legal and other professional fees related to our project facilities agreement. We expect depreciation for 2012 to range between 20% and 22% of contract drilling revenues. Finally, income tax expense is anticipated to range between 4% and 5% of contract drilling revenue. Please note the guidance above is based on current expectations and certain management assumptions, and is subject to change.
