We are currently engaged in discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding an unresolved staff comment with respect to our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 relating to our revenue and expense recognition policies for day rates received and the corresponding expenses incurred during the initial mobilization of the Atwood Condor during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. While we continue to work with the SEC staff to resolve this comment, we may in the future determine to revise our revenue and expense recognition policies and revise our historical financial statements accordingly.
