diana,

In addition to the possibility of reduced earnings due to merger expenses as mph pointed out, FLC may be vulnerable to a revaluation based on the composition of its fleet. While it has a large number of deep drilling floaters, much of its fleet is engaged in transition zone and shallow water drilling:

Since most of the shallow drillers trade at lower PE's, some investors may be rethinking FLC's multiple compared with RIG, for example, which has a higher percentage of its fleet in deep-drilling floating rigs.

Does anyone have First Call estimates for FLC? I saw the Zacks consensus for 1998 is $2.19, but there was no estimate for next year.

good luck,
Baird
