    Transocean liability

    Nexus has a potential liability to Sedco Forex International Inc (Sedco) in relation
    to Sedco's termination of the Transocean Legend drilling rig contract between
    Nexus and Sedco. Nexus has disputed Sedco�s entitlement to terminate the
    contract and Sedco has foreshadowed a damages claim in relation to the
    termination of the Transocean Legend drilling rig contract. Further, Sedco has
    claimed that Nexus has additional liability to Sedco because Sedco terminated its
    drilling contract with Oilex (JPDA 06-103) Limited (Oilex) as a result of termination
    of the Nexus drilling rig contract.
    Nexus considers that the Company's maximum potential liability is the profit lost by
    Sedco on the Nexus contract (not the gross day rate under the contract). Nexus
    considers its potential liability to be a fraction of the total contract value as a result
    of the rig being used by third parties during the expected contract term. In this
    regard, Nexus understands that the Transocean Legend drilling rig has
    been contracted to ConocoPhilips for two wells for a period of approximately 148
    days, plus a further two wells of unknown duration with options to increase this
    period for a further four wells. However, Nexus advises that the total value of the
    260 day Nexus contract, based on the full day rate set out in the contract, is
    US$117 million, and that Sedco claims the total value of the Oilex contract is
    approximately US$59 million.
    Nexus recognizes that risks exist in relation to the magnitude and timing of any
    settlement of Sedco's claims. Nexus will vigorously defend any claims brought by
    Sedco in relation to either the Nexus contract or the Oilex contract.

    who knows where this goes.
