NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Summary of Major Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to instructions for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which we are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that we believe are necessary to present fairly our financial position at June 30, 2010 and our results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

With the sale of the Ocean Producer in late 2009, our Mobile Offshore Production Systems (“MOPS”) business is no longer significant to our overall performance. Consequently, our MOPS results are now being reported in our Subsea Projects segment and our historical segment results have been conformed to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that our management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we recorded an impairment charge of $5.2 million to reduce the carrying value of our vessel held for sale, The Performer, to its fair value less estimated costs to sell. This charge is reflected as additional depreciation within the cost of services and products of our Subsea Projects segment. The Performer completed its contract in Angola during the first quarter of 2010. After our attempts to market it for use internationally failed, and in light of the current soft vessel market, the age of the vessel and the competition it was facing against newer and more capable vessels, we decided to sell the vessel. We estimated the fair value based on preliminary offers presented to us to purchase the vessel by market participants, which we believe are Level 3 inputs. At June 30, 2010, the vessel’s carrying value is on our balance sheet in other current assets as an asset held for sale. In July 2010, we sold the vessel for approximately its reduced carrying value.

Subsequent Events. We evaluated events and transactions through the issuance of these financial statements for possible recognition or disclosure.

New Accounting Standards. The following is a summary of a recent accounting pronouncement applicable to us.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an updated accounting principle regarding accounting for variable interest entities, specifically to:

 

   

require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity;

 

   

eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, which was based on determining which enterprise absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both;

 

   

change certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity;

 

   

add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and

 

   

require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity.

We adopted this principle as of January 1, 2010, as required.

2. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Our investments in unconsolidated affiliates consisted of the following:

 

     June 30,
2010
   Dec. 31,
2009
     (in thousands)

Medusa Spar LLC

   $ 54,340    $ 57,388

Other

     —        1,348
             

Total

   $ 54,340    $ 58,736
             

We own a 50% equity interest in Medusa Spar LLC. Medusa Spar LLC owns a 75% interest in a production spar platform in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Medusa Spar LLC’s revenue is derived from processing oil and gas production for a fee based on the volumes processed through the platform. Medusa Spar LLC financed its acquisition of its 75% interest in the production spar platform using approximately 50% debt and 50% equity from its equity holders. The debt was repaid in 2008. We believe our maximum exposure to loss from our investment in Medusa Spar LLC is our investment. Medusa Spar LLC is a variable interest entity. We are not the primary beneficiary of Medusa Spar LLC because we own 50% of its equity and we do not manage the operations of the asset it owns. As we are not the primary beneficiary, we are accounting for our investment in Medusa Spar LLC under the equity method of accounting. Equity earnings from Medusa Spar LLC reflected in our financial statements are after amortization of our initial acquisition costs.

The following are condensed 100% statements of income of Medusa Spar LLC:

4. Debt

Our long-term debt consisted of the following:

 

     June 30,

   Dec. 31,

     (in thousands)

6.72% Senior Notes

   $ 20,000    $ 20,000

     —        100,000
             

Total

   $ 20,000    $ 120,000
             

The 6.72% Senior Notes mature in September 2010.

We capitalized $0.1 million of interest in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010. We did not capitalize any interest in either the three-month or six-month periods ended June 30, 2009.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Various actions and claims are pending against us, most of which are covered by insurance. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, we believe the ultimate liability, if any, that may result from these actions and claims will not materially affect our results of operations, cash flow or financial position.

We are involved in a dispute with GRI Simulations, Inc., a privately held company based in Canada (“GRI”), relating to rights to certain proprietary information, including software relating to underwater simulations. This dispute is pending in two forums: a provincial court in Newfoundland, Canada; and a U.S. Federal District Court in Louisiana.

In May 2010, in the Louisiana litigation GRI filed an expert report with the court, alleging profits or damages recoverable from us ranging from $29 million to $81 million, based on different theories of recovery. We are vigorously disputing these alleged profits and damages claims and the methods used to determine these amounts.

The litigation is scheduled for trial commencing in August 2010. We have filed several motions which, if granted by the court, would result in the dismissal of, or judgment in our favor on, GRI’s claim. Some of our motions have been denied, and others have yet to be decided by the court. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against the claims made by GRI. We believe that, when GRI’s claims are ultimately resolved, they will not have a material adverse effect on us.

Financial Instruments and Risk Concentration

In the normal course of business, we manage risks associated with foreign exchange rates and interest rates through a variety of strategies, including the use of hedging transactions. As a matter of policy, we do not use derivative instruments unless there is an underlying exposure.

We had an interest rate hedge in place on our $100 million of floating rate debt under our revolving credit facility for the period August 2009 to August 2011, designated as a cash flow hedge. We terminated this hedge in May 2010 and charged the cost of $2.9 million to interest expense in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010.

Other financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are principally cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents and bank borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of those instruments or the short-term duration of the associated interest rate periods. Accounts receivable are generated from a broad group of customers, primarily from within the energy industry, which is our major source of revenue. One customer in Angola owed us $58 million at June 30, 2010 and $50 million at December 31, 2009, almost all of which is overdue. We completed the work on the contracts related to this receivable in the first quarter of 2010. Based on our past history with this customer, we believe this receivable will ultimately be collected. Due to their short-term nature, carrying values of our accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair market value.

We estimated the fair value of our $20 million of 6.72% Senior Notes to be approximately equal to their face value as of June 30, 2010. We arrived at this estimate by computing the present value of the future principal and interest payments using a yield-to-maturity interest rate for securities of similar quality and term, which we believe are Level 2 inputs.

6. Shareholders’ Equity, Earnings per Share and Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Options. At June 30, 2010, we had no outstanding stock options and we had no future stock-based compensation expense to be recognized pursuant to stock option grants.

Restricted Stock Plan Information. In 2010 and 2009, we granted shares of restricted common stock to our nonemployee directors, excluding our Chairman, and restricted units of our common stock to our Chairman and certain of our key executives and employees. The shares of restricted stock are subject to a one-year vesting requirement, conditioned upon continued service as a director, and the restricted units generally vest in full on the third anniversary of the award date, conditional on continued employment (or service, in the case of our Chairman). The restricted unit grants can vest pro rata over three years, provided the individual meets certain age and years-of-service requirements.

For each of the restricted stock units granted in 2008 through 2010, at the earlier of three years after grant or at termination of employment or service, the grantee will be issued a share of our common stock for each common stock unit vested. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, totals of 601,800 and 621,525 shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units were outstanding. Each grantee of shares of restricted stock is deemed to be the record owner of those shares during the restriction period, with the right to vote and receive any dividends on those shares. The restricted stock units granted in 2008 have no voting rights, but they carry a dividend-equivalent right should we pay dividends on our common stock. The restricted stock units granted after 2008 have no voting or dividend rights.

We estimate that stock-based compensation cost not yet recognized related to shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units, based on their grant-date fair values, was $13 million at June 30, 2010. This expense is being recognized on a staged-vesting basis over three years for awards attributable to individuals meeting certain age and years-of-service requirements, and on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period of one or three years for the other awards.

7. Income Taxes

During interim periods, we provide for income taxes at our estimated effective tax rate, currently 35%, using assumptions as to (1) earnings and other factors that would affect the tax calculation for the remainder of the year and (2) the operations of foreign branches and subsidiaries that are subject to local income and withholding taxes.

The financial statement recognition of the benefit for a tax position depends on the benefit being more likely than not to be sustainable upon audit by the applicable taxing authority. If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is then measured and recognized at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We account for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of our provision for income taxes on our financial statements. There were no significant changes in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for penalties and interest taken on our financial statements relating to uncertain tax positions. Our total liabilities for penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions were $3.8 million on our balance sheet at June 30, 2010. Including penalties and interest, we have accrued a total of $5.7 million in the caption “other long-term liabilities” on our June 30, 2010 balance sheet for unrecognized tax benefits. All additions or reductions to those liabilities affect our effective income tax rate in the periods of change.

We do not believe that the total of our unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months.

We conduct our operations in a number of locations that have varying laws and regulations with regard to income and other taxes, some of which are subject to interpretation. Our tax returns are subject to audit by taxing authorities in multiple jurisdictions. These audits often take years to complete and settle. Since December 31, 2009, there have been the following changes to the earliest tax years open to examination by tax authorities where we have significant operations: Angola – to 2005 from 2004 and Nigeria – to 2004 from 2003. Our management believes that adequate provisions have been made for all taxes that ultimately will be payable, although final determinations of tax liabilities may differ from our estimates.

8. Business Segment Information

We are a global oilfield provider of engineered services and products primarily to the offshore oil and gas industry, with a focus on deepwater applications. Through the use of our applied technology expertise, we also serve the defense and aerospace industries. Our Oil and Gas business consists of four business segments: Remotely Operated Vehicles (“ROVs”); Subsea Products; Subsea Projects; and Inspection. With the sale of the Ocean Producer in late 2009, our Mobile Offshore Production Systems (“MOPS”) business is no longer significant to our overall performance. Consequently, our MOPS results are now being reported in our Subsea Projects segment and our historical segment results have been conformed to the current year presentation. Our Advanced Technologies business is a separate segment that provides project management, engineering services, products and equipment for applications outside the oil and gas industry. Unallocated Expenses are those not associated with a specific business segment. These consist of expenses related to our incentive and deferred compensation plans, including restricted stock units, performance units and bonuses, as well as other general expenses.

There are no differences in the basis of segmentation or in the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss from those used in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, except for the above-mentioned combination of our MOPS business into our Subsea Projects segment.

We generate a material amount of our consolidated revenue from contracts for services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and North Sea, which are usually more active from April through October, as compared to the rest of the year. We did not experience in the second quarter of 2010, and we do not anticipate that we will experience during the third quarter of 2010, seasonal increases in our Subsea Projects operating income. In 2010, we were holding The Performer for sale and we have been repairing the Ocean Intervention II, and these two vessels contributed operating income in the second and third quarters of 2009. Subsea Projects included a $5.2 million impairment charge in gross profit and operating income in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Revenue in our ROV segment is subject to seasonal variations in demand, with our first quarter generally being the low quarter of the year. The level of our ROV seasonality depends on the number of ROVs we have engaged in construction support, which is more seasonal than drilling support. Revenue in our Subsea Products and Advanced Technologies segments has generally not been seasonal.

Our earnings for the second quarter of 2010 improved over the corresponding period in 2009 primarily due to the amount of work that affiliates of BP p.l.c. (“BP”) awarded us related to the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig tragedy at the Macondo well site in April 2010. These products and services included work in our Subsea Projects, ROV and Subsea Products segments. We anticipate demand from BP for these services and products at the Macondo site will also benefit our third quarter results. In May 2010, the U.S. Department of Interior issued a six-month deepwater drilling moratorium, which was subsequently revised in July 2010. This moratorium began to have an unfavorable effect on our Gulf of Mexico operations in June 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we invested $95 million of capital expenditures, of which $59 million was in our ROV segment and $23 million was in our Subsea Projects segment.

 

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

All forward-looking statements we make in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements regarding our expectations about: third quarter and full year 2010 net income and earnings per share; the level of services and products we anticipate providing to BP at the Macondo well site; the adverse impact on our earnings for the remainder of 2010 as a result of the U.S. Department of Interior Drilling Moratorium of July 12th; cash flows and segment results; our plans for future operations (including planned additions to our remotely operated vehicle (“ROV”) fleet and 2010 capital expenditures); the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources; our anticipated tax rates; seasonality; and industry conditions. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those we have referred to under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, because of the inherent limitations in the forecasting process, as well as the relatively volatile nature of the industries in which we operate, we can give no assurance that those expectations will prove to be correct. Accordingly, evaluation of our future prospects must be made with caution when relying on forward-looking information.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Segment Change

With the sale of the Ocean Producer in late 2009, our Mobile Offshore Production Systems (“MOPS”) business is no longer significant to our overall performance. Consequently, our MOPS results are now being reported in our Subsea Projects segment and our historical segment results have been conformed to the current year presentation.

Executive Overview

For the full year of 2010, we anticipate our diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.20 to $3.40, as compared to $3.40 in 2009. Compared to 2009, our 2010 forecast assumptions include achieving an increased profit contribution from Subsea Products, relatively flat ROV results, and lower Subsea Projects operating income. These three business segments are anticipated to account for 85% or more of our total operating income, as they have for the past few years. We forecast third quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share of $0.90 to $1.00, with quarterly operating income improvements over those of the second quarter from Subsea Products and Subsea Projects and lower profit performances from ROVs and Advanced Technologies.

We generate approximately 90% of our revenue and substantially all of our operating income before Unallocated Expenses from our services and products provided to the oil and gas industry, particularly in deepwater. Consequently, the level of our customers’ capital spending on deepwater exploration and development has a significant impact on the demand for many of our services and products. Looking forward, we face uncertainties in the level of this spending and the timing of approved projects, particularly the timing and order flow rate of subsea field development (construction) activities. These uncertainties have been exacerbated by the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig tragedy at the Macondo well in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico in April 2010, the resulting environmental impacts, and the U.S. Department of Interior drilling moratorium. In May 2010, the U.S. Department of Interior issued a six-month deepwater drilling moratorium, which was subsequently revised in July 2010. This moratorium began to have an unfavorable effect on our Gulf of Mexico operations in June 2010 and it is expected to have an adverse impact on our earnings during the remaining quarters of 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For information about our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, please refer to the discussion in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

New Accounting Standards

For a discussion of new accounting standards applicable to us, see the discussion in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We consider our liquidity and capital resources adequate to support our existing operations and capital commitments. At June 30, 2010, we had working capital of $418 million, including $145 million of cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, we had $300 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility.

Our capital expenditures were $95 million during the first six months of 2010, as compared to $90 million during the corresponding period of last year. We added eight new ROVs to our fleet, lost one on the Deepwater Horizon and retired six during the six months ended June 30, 2010, resulting in a total of 249 ROVs. We plan to add at least 10 more new ROVs during the rest of 2010, and these are in the process of being built or installed. Our capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2010 included $59 million in our ROV segment.

We have chartered a deepwater vessel, the Ocean Intervention III, for an initial term which has ended and we are now in the first of six annual extension option years. The current option year extends to May 2011. We have also chartered an additional deepwater vessel, the Olympic Intervention IV, for an initial five-year term ending in July 2013. We have outfitted each of these deepwater vessels with two of our high-specification work-class ROVs, and we use these vessels to perform subsea hardware installation and inspection, repair and maintenance projects, and to conduct well intervention services in the ultra-deep waters of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

We had no material contractual commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 2010. We believe our cash provided from operating activities will exceed our capital expenditures in 2010.

At June 30, 2010, we had $20 million of Senior Notes outstanding, scheduled to be repaid in September 2010, and no borrowings outstanding under our $300 million revolving credit facility, which is scheduled to expire in January 2012. The revolving credit facility provides for short-term interest rates that float with market rates, plus applicable spreads.

In September 2009, we entered into a $200 million agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc., under which we may, subject to mutual agreement, borrow at fixed rates for up to 13 years with weighted average maturities of no more than 10 years. As of June 30, 2010, we had not borrowed under that agreement.

We have not guaranteed any debt not reflected on our consolidated balance sheet and do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by SEC rules.

In February 2010, our Board of Directors approved a new plan to repurchase up to 6 million shares of our common stock. The timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by our management. We expect that any shares repurchased under the new plan will be held as treasury stock for future use. The new plan does not obligate us to repurchase any particular number of shares. We repurchased 1 million shares for $44.5 million under this plan during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, we generated $195 million in cash from operating activities, used $90 million of cash in investing activities and used $123 million in financing activities. The cash used in investing activities was used for the capital expenditures described above and the cash used in financing activities was used to pay off debt under our revolving credit agreement and to pay for a portion of our share repurchases. Due to three-day settlement terms, $20 million of our share repurchases made late in June 2010 was not paid in cash until early July 2010.

In general, our Oil and Gas business focuses on supplying services and products to the deepwater sector of the offshore market. We are the world’s largest provider of ROV services, and profit from this business segment typically constitutes more than half of our total operating income.

Our ROV segment revenue reflects the utilization percentages, fleet sizes and average pricing of the respective periods. ROV operating income in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 included a $3.5 million gain from insurance proceeds on the vehicle we had on the Deepwater Horizon. We expect our 2010 annual ROV operating income to be relatively flat with 2009, as we believe the second half of the year will be adversely affected by the drilling moratorium in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

Our Subsea Products operating income and margin results for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2010 were improved over those of the corresponding periods of the prior year. These increases were attained in the second quarter and were largely attributable to higher throughput at our umbilical plants, increased

operating efficiency, and spending cuts implemented at Multiflex during 2009. Additionally, we achieved a higher revenue, profit contribution, and margin from ROV tooling, primarily due to work related to the Macondo well incident.

Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, Subsea Products quarterly revenue, operating income, and margin improved primarily through higher sales of ROV tooling and installation and workover control system (“IWOCS”) services, including our involvement at the Macondo well site. Our Multiflex umbilical operations also achieved better profit contribution through improved job execution.

Subsea Products backlog was $347 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $321 million at December 31, 2009. Compared to the first half of 2010, Subsea Products operating income is forecast to improve in the second half of 2010 on the strength of higher ROV tooling, IWOCS, and subsea field development hardware sales. We believe Subsea Products revenue, operating income and operating margin will be higher in 2010 than those reported for 2009.

Our Subsea Projects operating income declined in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, as the 2009 period included income from our contract for The Performer in Angola. Additionally, in 2010 the Ocean Intervention II was out of service for repairs, and we experienced lower demand for our deepwater vessel services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded a $5.2 million impairment charge to adjust the carrying value of our vessel held for sale, The Performer, to its fair value less estimated costs to sell. The Performer completed its contract in Angola during the first quarter of 2010. After our attempts to market it for further use internationally were unsuccessful, and in light of the soft vessel market, the age of the vessel, and the competition it was facing against newer and more capable vessels, we decided to sell the vessel. We completed the sale in July 2010 for approximately the vessel’s reduced carrying value. Subsea Projects second quarter of 2010 operating income was higher than that of the first quarter of 2010 as the first quarter included the $5.2 million impairment charge.

Subsea Projects operating income is expected to be higher during the second half of 2010 largely due to additional deepwater vessel services to be performed for BP during the third quarter. For the year 2010, compared to 2009, we are forecasting lower segment revenue, operating income, and margin performance.

In the second quarter of 2010, we acquired the DMT Sapphire at a purchase price of $16.5 million. This vessel, to be renamed the Ocean Patriot, is currently in a shipyard being outfitted for saturation diving service.

In the first quarter of 2010, our vessel Ocean Intervention II sustained substantial damage while installing an umbilical in heavy weather. We expect the vessel to be unavailable for service until the end of the third quarter of 2010, and we have not had the potential earnings contribution from the vessel while it has been unavailable. We believe the costs of the repairs, except a small deductible, are covered by our insurance. While the vessel is being repaired we are performing, and charging to expense, its regulatory drydocking.

Our Inspection margins were comparable in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 with the corresponding periods of the prior year. Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, we had a seasonal increase in U.K. inspection activity and increased service demand in Africa and the Caspian Sea areas.

The growth in Advanced Technologies operating income in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year was attributable to increased revenue and margins in most of this segment’s product and service lines. Timing of work was a large factor in the increases. We are anticipating Advanced Technologies will have higher operating income in the full year of 2010 compared to 2009, with substantially lower operating income in the second half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2010. In addition to the timing of projects, we expect a decline in activity under the NASA Constellation Space Suit contract.

Unallocated Expenses

Our Unallocated Expenses, i.e., those not associated with a specific business segment, within gross profit consist of expenses related to our incentive and deferred compensation plans, including restricted stock units, performance units and bonuses, as well as other general expenses. Our Unallocated Expenses within operating income consist of those expenses within gross profit plus general and administrative expenses related to corporate functions.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2010 includes $2.9 million to terminate an interest rate hedge on the $100 million of revolving credit debt we repaid in the second quarter.

Our equity earnings of unconsolidated affiliates consists of earnings from our 50% equity interest in Medusa Spar LLC, which owns a 75% interest in the Medusa Spar production platform in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Medusa Spar LLC earns revenue on a tariff basis on oil and gas production throughput processed by the platform from the Medusa field and other surrounding areas.

Other income in the three months ended June 30, 2010 includes a $2.1 million fee for serving as the stalking horse bidder on an asset auction proceeding. Additionally, we recorded foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of $(0.6 million) and $(1.4 million) for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and $1.0 million and $1.4 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 in other income (expense). These transaction gains and losses are related primarily to the relative value of the U.S. dollar against the Brazilian real. As the dollar devalues against the real, we have transaction gains. Conversely, as the dollar strengthens, we incur transaction losses.

The provisions for income taxes were related to U.S. income taxes that we provided at estimated annual effective rates using assumptions as to earnings and other factors that would affect the tax calculation for the remainder of the year and to the operations of foreign branches and subsidiaries that were subject to local income and withholding taxes. We anticipate our effective tax rate for 2010 will be approximately 35%.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are currently exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions we have entered into in the normal course of business. These risks relate to interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We do not believe these risks are material. We have not entered into any market risk sensitive instruments for speculative or trading purposes. We manage our exposure to interest rate changes primarily through the use of a combination of fixed- and floating-rate debt. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for a description of our long-term debt agreements, interest rates and maturities. We had an interest rate hedge (designated as a cash flow hedging instrument) in place on our $100 million of floating rate debt outstanding under our revolving credit facility for the period August 2009 to August 2011. In the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we repaid the $100 million of debt and terminated the hedge at a cost of $2.9 million, which we charged to interest expense. We believe that significant interest rate changes would not have a material near-term impact on our future earnings or cash flows.

Because we operate in various oil and gas exploration and production regions in the world, we conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for several of our international operations is the applicable local currency. We manage our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates principally through arranging compensation in U.S. dollars or freely convertible currency and, to the extent possible, by limiting compensation received in other currencies to amounts necessary to meet obligations denominated in those currencies. We use the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date to translate assets and liabilities as to which the functional currency is the local currency, resulting in translation adjustments that we reflect as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the shareholders’ equity section of our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recorded positive (negative) adjustments of $(34.9 million) and $34.0 million to our equity accounts for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, to reflect the net impact of the U.S. dollar against various foreign currencies for locations where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Positive adjustments reflect the net impact of the strengthening of various foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar for locations where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Conversely, negative adjustments reflect the effect of a strengthening U.S. dollar. The adjustment in the six months ended June 30, 2010 from December 31, 2009 was principally due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Norwegian kroner and British pound sterling.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Various actions and claims are pending against us, most of which are covered by insurance. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, we believe the ultimate liability, if any, that may result from these actions and claims will not materially affect our results of operations, cash flow or financial position.

We are involved in a dispute with GRI Simulations, Inc., a privately held company based in Canada (“GRI”), and Mr. Stephen G. Dodd, one of GRI’s owners, relating to rights to certain proprietary information, including software relating to underwater simulations.

On February 16, 2004, GRI filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada (the “Newfoundland Litigation”) against us, one of our subsidiaries and three of another subsidiary’s employees who were formerly employees of Geo-Resources, Inc., a predecessor to GRI. In the Newfoundland Litigation, the plaintiff is seeking to recover approximately $8 million Canadian dollars (approximately $7.5 million) from us and the other defendants under the following causes of action: alleged misappropriation of GRI’s confidential information and trade secrets, breach of confidence, passing off GRI’s software as our own, breach of contract and copyright infringement related to certain simulation software and computer architecture. In July 2006, we filed a counterclaim alleging misappropriation of confidential and trade secret information by GRI in its development of simulation software in conjunction with projects we previously contracted to GRI or its predecessor, Geo-Resources, Inc. This litigation is in the discovery phase, and no trial date has yet been set.

On February 10, 2005, we filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana (the “Louisiana Litigation”) against GRI and Mr. Dodd seeking a declaratory judgment that we had not infringed any U.S. copyright of GRI, engaged in unfair competition or trade secret misappropriation, or breached any confidential agreement with GRI. In July 2006, we amended our claim to assert that GRI and Mr. Dodd misappropriated trade secrets of ours. We are seeking to recover approximately US $1 million from GRI and Mr. Dodd in the Louisiana Litigation. In August 2008, in the Louisiana Litigation, the District Court granted summary judgment in favor of GRI on our pending claims and we appealed that ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. In May 2009, the Court of Appeals vacated the District Court’s summary judgment ruling and remanded the case to the District Court. In November 2009, GRI moved for summary judgment on all pending claims, which the court denied. We subsequently withdrew our copyright claims against GRI in the Louisiana Litigation. In March 2010, the District Court granted summary judgment in our favor on our declaratory judgment claims that we had not misappropriated certain asserted trade secrets of, or competed unfairly with, GRI.

On April 12, 2010, GRI filed a counterclaim against us in the Louisiana Litigation, alleging that our simulation software infringed GRI’s simulation software copyrights and seeking to recover an unspecified amount from us. On May 26, 2010, GRI filed an expert report with the District Court, alleging profits or damages recoverable from us ranging from $29 million to $81 million, based on different theories of recovery. We are vigorously disputing these alleged profits and damages claims and the methods used to determine these amounts.

The Louisiana Litigation is scheduled for jury trial commencing on August 23, 2010. We have filed several motions which, if granted by the District Court, would result in the dismissal of, or judgment in our favor on, GRI’s counterclaim. Some of our motions have been denied, and others have yet to be decided by the District Court. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against the claims made by GRI. We believe that, when GRI’s claims are ultimately resolved, they will not have a material adverse effect on us.
