What Happened in Q4 2006?1. Late delivery of drawings and assertion of late delivery schedule for drilling package led to

a dispute with the shipyard.

• DNV-approved Main Scantling Approval (“MSA”) was delivered to Yantai-Raffles Shipyard (“YRS”) on 6-Nov-2006– approximately three months later than required by the YRS contract.

– The delay was caused by management’s inability to secure guaranteed delivery of engineering services from a subcontractor within the necessary time frame.

– Expectations of the subcontractor’s availability based on discussions held prior to the signing of the YRS contract proved overly optimistic as industry conditions tightened in the immediate aftermath of signing the YRS contract.

– Engineering considerations raised during discussion with DNV led to design optimization requiring more engineering time and a change to higher steel grade specifications.

• Additionally, the delivery dates achieved for certain components of the drilling package under the contract with Aker Kvaerner Maritime Hydraulics (“AKMH”) were later than those contemplated by the fabrication yard, although deemed sufficient by FDIL.

2. YRS claimed consequential delays and substantial monetary damages even though YRS previously indicated otherwise. FDIL disputed that.

3. After evaluating all possible options, the board approved the settlement of the dispute between YRS and FDIL on December 1st, 2006.

Impact of RevisionsDelivery date extended by 5 months to September 4th, 2009.

Contract price increased by USD 11m to USD 252m

Additional USD 12m incentive payments to YRS

• Payment conditional upon major milestones being reached on time and budget.

Delay causes increases in cost for project management, and site supervision (23.3m) due among others to increased staff

Project is back on track with increased safety margins for meeting construction milestones and ultimate completion.

Comments on the YRS Contract RevisionsThe delay in contractual delivery date and associated cost overrun USD 30m is disappointing to shareholders and management.

However, the new contract provides increased certainty of successful construction within the new time frame and improves the specification of the rig.

• The new time frame is more realistic given the developments in the major equipment suppliers and the yard after the effective date of original YRS contract. Should help to avoid delay and change orders in later stages of construction, especially after the start of fabrication, which could be much more costly.

• The revision contains numerous incentives for the yard to reach defined milestones. It also sets up adequate protection for possible worst case scenario.

Final Rig Design ImprovementsSeveral design improvements were made during the initial period, such as:

• Installed one more pipe handling machine (Aker MH) to further increase operational efficiency.

• Enlarged deck cranes (150Mt rating w/upgrades) to allow for more efficient handling of X-mas trees and other equipment during development drilling.

• Increased the maximum wave height criteria from “old” Gulf of Mexico standards to latest standard (23.5 vs 27 meters maximum wave height). This will increase operability of the rig for world wide operations except for very harsh environments such as the northern North Sea/Norwegian Sea.

• Enlarged pilot house and helicopter lounge in the accommodation module.

• Increased capacity of two drums of anchor winches from 450m to 1113m to comply with all DNV requirements.

Steps Taken to Minimize Further DelaysMonthly detailed progress report from the shipyard will identify any emerging issues in the construction process.

• Added additional site team members with Singaporean shipyard experiences to closely monitor the day to day progress in Yantai-Raffles.

• Integrated some of owners site team members into various yard personnel groups to assist and monitor the yard work and progress.

• Weekly CEO report to the board. Tighter internal control on all issues by the management and the board. Board and management will act proactively and aggressively.

Newly-appointed Chief Technical Officer Paal Norheim adds strength to the project management team.

• Former CEO of Atlantis Deepwater Technology, founded by Statoil and Aker Kvaerner. He is well-respected and experienced in the offshore industry.

• He has assumed overall responsibility of project management together with CEO Harald Frigstad.

Close monitoring of OFEsSubstantial majority of Owner Furnished Equipment (“OFE”) are from four industry-leading vendors, which making monitoring easier.• Aker Kvaerner MH/Sub sea: Drilling package and Marine Riser

• NOV Shaffer: BOP and its control system

• Liebherr: Cranes

• Rolls-Royce Brattvaag: Winches

Equipment site team established in Kristiansand, Norway• The team is manned with personnel with considerable experience in design, delivery, purchase and operation of

AKMH equipment.

• The team also contains an experienced sub-sea engineer to monitor the progress of the BOP and Marine Risersystem.

• The anchor winches and the deck cranes will also be followed-up from the Kristiansand office.

Buffers have been reserved between vendors’ delivery dates and the corresponding OFE contractual delivery dates to the yard. • A minimum of two months transportation has been reserved for most OFE equipments, which is more than

normally required.

• Airfreight can also be used if need, as an alternative to sea-borne transportation.

“The Move to Development is Upon Us”

After studying the relationship between exploration and development drilling in deepwater for many years, ODS-Petrodata recently concluded “The move to development is upon us”.

• “Although exploration activity is still very high… it appears to be decreasing in its relative importance, which will at some point affect the long-term market for development drilling. However, the medium-term outlook for the latter looks extremely good, which has implications for the type of work that the 19 currently available deepwater newbuilds will probably end up performing.” - The Atlantis Deepwater Report, page 8, November 2006, Volume 10, Number 11.

Focusing on development drilling is a strategy Global Santa Fe has pursued in its semisubmersible new building program.

• In fact, the rigs are named Development Driller I, II and III.

D-90: Optimized for Development DrillingSS Frigstad Oslo will be one of the most capable deep water drilling rigs for development drilling and completion operations:

• One of the most powerful dual activity drilling packages (2 x 1000 short ton)

• Largest distance between two well centers (14.1 m) and large moon pool opening (42m x 8 m) enables maximum flexibility for development drilling operations

• Two 100 tonnes cranes for lifting of fully assembled x-mas trees.

• Large variable deck load (“VDL”) (8100 MT) and large deck space allow more sub sea equipments being handled and stored on the deck simultaneously, thus improving the efficiency of development drilling and completion operation.

– SS Frigstad Oslo is only rig in the world whose anchor winches are located within the deck structure to provide more usable deck space.

Mooring system prepared for hook-up to pre-installed taut-leg deep water mooring system, enabling DP fuel saving during long term development drilling operations.

The design has undergone extensive testing and received approval from DNV.

• DNV will supervise the construction and classify the vessel upon delivery

• Diamond Offshore and Global Santa Fe have expressed favorable opinions towards the design.

Strategy: Not Targeting the Nordic SeasReason #1: The increased capabilities of 6th generation rigs may be

overkill for these areas while substantially increasing costs:

• Average Water Depths far below 6th generation capability:

North Sea: 94 meters (315 feet)

Barents Sea: 230 meters (756 feet)

Norwegian Sea: 1600-1750 meters (5264-5756 feet). Most drilling activities to date in <= 1500 meters (5000 feet).

• Modern 4th generation, harsh environment capable rig meets operating specifications for these areas while costing much less: This is the OffRig strategy.

Reason #2: North sea, Norwegian sea and Barents Sea are niche markets relative to the global market. Today, only 21% of world’s floater fleet works in those areas.

Conclusion: We are not targeting this very competitive but niche market.

Agenda > Project Merits > Strategy

Strategy: Not Targeting the Nordic Seas

Further Support for the Strategy:

Cancellation of Odfjell and West Navigator LOIs demonstrate competitiveness of these niche markets.

Aker Drilling day-rate demonstrates difficulty of achieving a premium even for state-of-the art Nordic Seas capability and QHSE.

Merger of Statoil and North Hydro likely to put further pressure on pricing power of rigs operating in the Nordic Seas.

Tax Efficiency

Unlike many Norwegian rig new building companies, FDIL is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, which has no corporate tax, compared with the 28% Norwegian corporate tax rate.

Agenda > Project Merits > Tax Efficiency

Construction Cost is Cheap!Favorable project budget relative to competition due to:

• Very competitive shipyard contract price, even after revised terms.

• Major OFEs were locked in at favorable prices one year ago and market has in general only risen since.

• Rig does not have Nordic Seas specifications and design is construction friendly, thus less cost for the shipyard to build.

• Non-EPC contract, but shipyard is responsible for interface, testing and commissioning. Yantai-Raffles is well-suited for semi submersible construction.

• Budget includes 10k feet of marine riser (>= USD 50m market value) and other spare parts.

See the detailed cost comparison with Odfjell’s Deepsea Rig on the following page of this presentation:

• The price for 90% of OFEs by value has been locked in. This is not a budget but rather a contracted price list.

• The price paid to the yard and all OFEs is $118m lower for SS Frigstad Oslo than for Deepsea Rig.

Cheap Share Price = Good InvestmentFDIL’s shares were originally issued at USD 10 but now trade at NOK 32, equivalent to USD 5.05.

At NOK 32 NOK, FDIL’s market capitalization is USD 106m implying an enterprise value for SS Frigstad Oslo of USD 418m.

• N.B. This gives no value to the option rigs but also no value to HFM’s options. Assumes 1 USD = 6.33 NOK.

In comparison, at NOK 16.6/share, Odfjell Drilling’s market capitalization is about USD 267m, implying an enterprise value for Deepsea Rig of USD 653m (or USD 689m after adjusting for its lesser length of marine risers).

The difference in EVs stands at USD 271m. If SS Frigstad Oslo were to achieve the same EV/rig valuation, the shares would have to more than triple.

Do we think the risks of construction of SS Frigstad Oslo are so much greater that they justify the USD 271m difference? NO!!

Myth Buster

OrganizationOrganization

© Frigstad Discoverer Invest Ltd. | Investor Presentation | 1 February, 2007 29

Myth #1: Yantai Raffles = TroubleYantai Raffles has never built rigs before - they probably cannot… Life is complicated

enough, why bother to bring yourself more trouble?

- Senior executive of a well known drilling contractor

Myth: Yantai Raffles Shipyard cannot build a semisubmersible rig.

Fact: YRS management has extensive experience in building both jackup and semisubmersible rigs.

• True, YRS has yet to build a semisubmersible drilling rig on its premises. However, the management of YRS has.

• Majority owner, founder, executive chairman Brian Chang (former owner of PPL) built his career and reputation constructing Jackups and Semis (e.g., Transocean Cajun Express).

• A significant portion of YRS senior executives are recruited from top Korean and Singaporean shipyards

• The yard’s track record for on-time delivery is good.

Agenda > Myth Buster > Yantai Raffles

© Frigstad Discoverer Invest Ltd. | Investor Presentation | 1 February, 2007 30

Closer look at Yantai RafflesGreat Hardware

Excellent location for shipbuilding:

• Close to other shipbuilding centers = convenient outsourcing and subcontracting

• Dry climate, no adverse weather events, no earthquakes, flat hard-rock land.

• Large and qualified workforce with good labor conditions—24/7 work possible when needed.

Most facilities are state of the art.

Numerous facilities are under construction to make the yard more efficient.

• For example, sub assembly shop, new outfitting shop and painting and blasting shop

Great Software

IBM/Dassault PLM software package is powerful:

• Used by Boeing to develop the 777.

• Greatly improves efficiency of detailed engineering:

– Can digitally simulate vessel operation and thereby verify the detailed engineering to minimize rework.

– Detailed engineering will be completed before construction starts.

• Sevan Marine’s SSP has benefited from the use of this software.

YRS is taking a leading role on a world wide basis in applying this type of advanced software.

Its success may fundamentally change the way semi-submersibles are built.

The traditional process of building the deck box in numerous blocks, then lifting them individually to the top of pontoon columns, is inefficient.

• Creates bottleneck due to lack of adequate lifting capacity.

• Equipment and personnel are inefficient when operating at that height.

With this crane, the entire deck box will be built on the ground, then lifted to the top of the pontoon column at once.

• Potentially will save 1 million man hours and 2 months in the building process.

• These time and labor savings translate into cost savings for FDIL.

Yantai Raffles recently completed numerous projects in a fashionsatisfactory to the owner:

• Four regional supply vessels for BP.

– BP was impressed enough to sign an LOI for OffRig’s Offshore Pioneer (which will be the first semisubmersible rig built on YRS’s premises).

• The first ever Sevan SSP FPSO for Sevan Marine ASA.

• Safe Bristolia conversion for Consafe (now Prosafe).

• Yacht Carrier for Dockwise was successfully loaded out and floated off on Jan. 19th, 2007.

Good Track RecordAgenda > Myth Buster > Yantai Raffles > Good Track Record

© Frigstad Discoverer Invest Ltd. | Investor Presentation | 1 February, 2007 33

Positive developments in the yard add additional certainty to quality and timely delivery:

• Armed with funding from equity raise and large order book, the yard is aggressively building up its personnel and facilities.

• CEO, COO and other executives/managers are recruited from leading Korean and Singaporean shipyards.

– They bring with them a network of specialist subcontractors which will work at YRS or from their home locations.

• Two new indoor fabrication halls were completed in two months.

Myth: A turnkey contract for the building of a semisubmersible drilling rig will eliminate the risk of delays and cost overrunsotherwise assumed by the rig owner.

Fact: Most experienced drilling contractors prefer non-turnkey contracts (e.g., DO’s upgrading of its Victory Class Semis; GSF’sDevelopment Driller I and II).

• How can this be? To understand this better, it is beneficial to have a deeper understanding of the key features of shipyard contracts, turnkey and otherwise…

Myth #2: The Turnkey ContractAgenda > Myth Buster > Yantai Raffles > Myth of the Turnkey Contract

© Frigstad Discoverer Invest Ltd. | Investor Presentation | 1 February, 2007 35

“Turnkey” does not have a universal definition:

• A Turnkey-EPC contract usually means that the shipyard will be responsible for procurement of subsystems and for managing the integration of those systems.

• The benefit comes from that experienced shipyard potentially manages interface risk better than the rig owner.

Managing subsystem procurement and integration does not mean that the shipyard assumes all risks of delay and cost overrun.

• Risks of delay and cost overrun are transferred through the permissible delay clause, Force Majeure clause and other related clauses in the contract between shipyard and owner.

• Given the extremely large order book at most reputable shipyards, shipyards are taking substantially less risks of delay and cost overrun in the current market. (e.g., the Force Majeure clause now often contains many typical sources of delay).

Myth #2: The Turnkey ContractAgenda > Myth Buster > Yantai Raffles > Myth of the Turnkey Contract

© Frigstad Discoverer Invest Ltd. | Investor Presentation | 1 February, 2007 36

Conclusions:

• Each contract is unique: an individual contract’s other clauses determine the distribution of risks between yard and rig owner, not whether it is so-called “Turnkey” or not.

• It is wrong to assume that a turnkey-EPC contract bears less construction risk than a non-turnkey contract.

• Experienced drilling contractors prefer non-turnkey contracts most of the time.
