Comments about prospects for dayrates. · We expect dayrates for supply vessels, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico, to continue to come down over the next few Qs, which should translate to negative earnings comparisons versus this quarter at TDW. However, we believe that the apparent strength in earnings this Q underscores TDW management's commitment and ability to control costs and maximize earnings power in the current negative environment.

Just so we're playing with one foot still on the ground, my Zack's earnings estimates (from Waterhouse) showed a mean of .26 but most recent three estimates were .15,.17 and .26 - honestly, I didn't get .26 as a mean from looking at their figures. I'm mentioning this because the Briefing.com calendar which shows tomorrow as TMAR's earnings reporting date also shows a Zack's earnings estimate of .30 which is outdated. First Call (from Schwab) shows a mean earnings estimate of .18 with a high estimate of .27 and a low estimate of .15 (out of nine estimates). TDW's earnings were a little overwhelming; we need to keep in mind that TMAR is priced at less than 50% of TDW based on PER of last 12 months earnings. Best of luck, Steve
