 (1) Average daily revenues are based on total revenues for each type 
     of rig divided by actual days worked by all rigs of that type. 
     Average daily revenues will differ from average contract dayrate 
     due to billing adjustments for any non-productive time, 
     mobilization fees, demobilization fees, performance bonuses and 
     charges to the customer for ancillary services.

 (2) Utilization is calculated as the total days worked divided by 
     the total days in the period.
