Note 4 — Assets Held for Sale

Assets held for sale of $11.6 million as of December 31, 2012 was comprised of the net book value of five land rigs and related inventory. For three rigs comprising $5.3 million of the assets held for sale balance, we have received $1.6 million in down payment and deposits on these assets and associated inventories. The sale of these assets is expected to be finalized in 2013. Prior to being classified as assets held for sale, these assets were included in the International Drilling segment. We expect the carrying amount of the assets, less costs to sell, will be fully recoverable through sale of the assets.

Additionally, during the third quarter of 2012, we determined that two of our rigs located in Kazakhstan met the criteria for classification as assets held for sale. As of September 30, 2012, we reclassified the $6.4 million net book value of these assets and associated inventories to assets held for sale. Prior to being classified as assets held for sale, these assets were included in the International Drilling segment. We expect the carrying amount of the assets, less costs to sell, will be fully recoverable through sale of the assets.
