NOBLE CORPORATION (NOBLE-SWISS)
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes give effect to the acquisition by Noble Corporation, a Swiss corporation (“Noble-Swiss”), of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of FDR Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands company (“Frontier”). On June 27, 2010, Noble-Swiss, Noble AM Merger Co, a Cayman Islands company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Noble-Swiss (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Frontier, and certain of Frontier’s shareholders, pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with and into Frontier, with Frontier surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Noble-Swiss (the “Merger”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Noble Corporation, a Cayman Islands company and wholly owned subsidiary of Noble-Swiss (“Noble-Cayman”). Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions. References to “Noble” refer to Noble-Swiss and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Noble-Cayman (except as it may relate specifically to Noble-Cayman).

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information sets forth: (i) the historical financial information as of March 31, 2010 and for the three months then ended, as derived from the unaudited financial statements of Noble-Swiss, Noble-Cayman and Frontier, and the historical financial information for the year ended December 31, 2009, as derived from the audited financial statements of Noble-Swiss, Noble-Cayman and Frontier; and (ii) pro forma adjustments assuming the pending Merger and related transactions and financing were completed as of March 31, 2010 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and as of January 1, 2009 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.

     The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified in their entirety by, the notes thereto and with the historical annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements of Noble-Swiss, Noble-Cayman and Frontier, including the respective notes thereto. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the Merger under the acquisition method of accounting. In the opinion of Noble-Swiss management, all significant adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the Merger and related transactions and financing have been made. Those adjustments are preliminary and are based on certain estimates and currently available information. Such adjustments could change as additional information becomes available, as estimates are refined or as additional events occur. However, management does not expect any changes in the purchase price to be paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the allocation of such purchase price to be significant.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual combined financial position and results of operations of Noble-Swiss, Noble-Cayman and Frontier would have been as of and for the periods presented, nor does it purport to represent the future combined financial position or results of operations of Noble-Swiss, Noble-Cayman and Frontier.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Article 11, using the acquisition method of accounting, and are based on the historical financial statements of Noble-Swiss, Noble-Cayman and Frontier after giving effect to the cash to be paid by Noble to consummate the Merger and related transactions and financing, as well as pro forma adjustments.

     Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values, as determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, as of the acquisition date. In addition, ASC 805 establishes that the consideration transferred be measured at the closing date of the asset acquisition at the then-current market price, which may be different than the amount of consideration assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements.

     ASC 820, as amended, defines the term “fair value” and sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset or liability measured at fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined in ASC 820, as amended, as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. As a result of these standards, Noble-Swiss may be required to record assets which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at fair value measures that do not reflect Noble-Swiss’ intended use of those assets. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.

     Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as of the completion of the acquisition, primarily at their respective fair values and added to those of Noble-Swiss. Financial statements and reported results of operations of Noble-Swiss and Noble-Cayman issued after completion of the acquisition will reflect these values, but will not be retroactively restated to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Frontier.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet is presented as if the Merger had occurred on March 31, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 are presented as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2009.

     Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs (i.e., advisory, legal, valuation, other professional fees) and certain acquisition-related restructuring charges impacting the target company are expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred. Total advisory, legal, regulatory, and valuation costs incurred by Noble-Swiss are estimated to total approximately $15 million.

2. Accounting Policies

     The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by Noble-Swiss.

3. Purchase Price Allocation

     The total purchase price of $2.6 billion (including 100% of the long-term debt of two 50% owned joint ventures) was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values as follows (in thousands):

Cash paid to, or on behalf of, Frontier and its equity holders		$	1,703,000
Assumption of:
Accounts payable and other liabilites			103,179
Long-term debt			605,343
Non-controlling interests			156,292
Total purchase price		$	2,567,814
Cash and cash equivalents		$	118,769
Accounts receivable			33,060
Other assets			47,610
Property and Equipment			2,361,509
Total tangible assets acquired			2,560,948
Amortizable intangible assets
Value of in place contracts			6,866
Total assets acquired		$	2,567,814

4. Pro Forma Adjustments

     The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations are as follows:

     Description

(a)

Adjustments to cash include the following:

	•		Net proceeds received from the issuance of long term debt totaling $1,240 million,
	•		Cash paid to, or on behalf of, Frontier and its equity holders totaling $1,703 million, and
	•		Estimated expenses for professional fees and other non-recurring transaction costs of $15 million associated with the Merger.

(b)

Adjustments/eliminations to Frontier balances related to:

•

Other current assets -

	i.		Elimination of deferred financing costs of $8 million, and
	ii.		Elimination of deferred mobilization and dry docking costs of $7 million.

•

Other assets -

	i.		Elimination of deferred financing costs of $25 million,
	ii.		Reduction in deferred tax assets of $20 million,
	iii.		Elimination of deferred mobilization and dry docking costs of $18 million,
	iv.		Additional deferred financing costs of $10 million for the issuance of long-term debt totaling $1,250 million, and
	v.		Record the fair value of in-place contracts, as of the Merger date, totaling $7 million.

•

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities –

	i.		Elimination of accrued interest of $9 million,
	ii.		Elimination of deferred revenues of $15 million, and
	iii.		Elimination of the fair value of derivatives to be canceled of $1 million.

•

Other liabilities –

i.

Elimination of deferred revenues of $13 million.

	(c)		Adjustment to record Frontier assets acquired at estimated fair value.
	(d)		Adjustments to long-term debt include the following:

	•		Issuance of long-term debt in an aggregate principal amount of $1,250 million, and
	•		Repayment of third-party debt of Frontier of $695 million, which includes $63 million in current portion of long-term debt as of March 31, 2010.

	(e)		Elimination of Frontier’s historical equity balances. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, certain shareholder related interests, including shareholder debt, mandatorily redeemable preferred shares and dividends payable, will be converted into Frontier equity. Also includes adjustment to beginning equity for estimated expenses for professional fees and other non-recurring transaction costs of $15 million associated with the Merger.
	(f)		Represents fair value adjustments to holders of non-controlling interests in two joint ventures, each of which is currently constructing a Bully-class drillship. Estimates of fair value were based on the fair value of the rigs at acquisition.
	(g)		Represents amortization of the fair value of in-place contracts over the life of the contracts, ranging from one to six years, and additional depreciation expense on the estimated fair value of Frontier assets at acquisition using an estimated average remaining useful life of 20 years.
	(h)		Represents elimination of interest expense, net of capitalized interest, on debt repaid by Frontier in connection with the Merger and dividends on preferred shares. Also includes estimated interest expense, net of capitalized interest, of $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, on new long-term unsecured borrowings of $1,250 million at an average interest rate of 6.5%.
	(i)		Includes adjustment of income taxes for the items described in notes (g) and (h), above, using Noble’s average income tax rate for the period presented. Due to the multiple jurisdictions in which Noble-Cayman operates, the effective tax rate was used to calculate income taxes instead of the statutory rate in effect.
