ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
The RICHMOND continues to work for Helis Oil & Gas ("Helis") in the Gulf of
Mexico at a dayrate of $80,000. Upon completion of the drilling of the current
well (estimated late September 2007), Helis has a commitment to drill one more
well (estimated to take 25 days to complete). The drilling of this last well
will be deferred until sometime during the first half of fiscal year 2008.
Immediately upon completion of the drilling of its current well, the rig will be
moved to a shipyard to undergo a $14 million to $15 million life enhancement
upgrade estimated to take around 60 days to complete, which will extend the
depreciable life of the rig seven years from January 2008. Additional work for
the rig immediately following the upgrade period is currently being pursued.
Statements contained in this report with respect to the future are
forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's reasonable
judgment with respect to future events. Forward-looking statements involve risks
and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated
as a result of various factors including; the Company's dependence on the oil
and gas industry; the risks involved the construction of a rig; competition;
operating risks; risks involved in foreign operations; risks associated with
possible disruption in operations due to terrorism; risks associated with a
possible disruption in operations due to a war with Iraq; and governmental
regulations and environmental matters. A list of additional risk factors can be
found in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September
30, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
