Condition.

Our
press
release dated November 8, 2005, concerning third quarter 2005 financial results,
furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report, is incorporated by reference herein.
The press release contains certain measures (discussed below) which may be
deemed “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
In
the
press release, we discuss field operating income for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005. Management believes field operating
income is a useful measure of operating results since the measure only deducts
expenses directly related to operations from revenues. The most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income before general and
administrative expenses, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP
measures are included in the press release.
The
information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1,
shall
not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, nor will it be incorporated by reference into any
registration statement filed by Transocean Inc. under the Securities Act
of
1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated
therein by reference. The furnishing of the information in this report is
not
intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or admission by Transocean
Inc. that the information in this report is material or complete, or that
investors should consider this information before making an investment decision
with respect to any security of Transocean Inc.
