This is true of our description of our efforts to address the issues that adversely impacted our second quarter 2007 results and any description of potential future impacts on financial results.  Such statements include, but are not limited to, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. <p>All forward looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Tesco Corporation's management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
