INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE PARTICIPANTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE OF THE DIAMOND OFFSHORE 401(k) PLAN HOUSTON, TEXAS We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Diamond Offshore 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year), December 31, 2002 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2002 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DESCRIPTION OF PLAN The Diamond Offshore 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") was established effective July 1, 1989. Diamond Offshore Management Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc., (the "Company"), is the Plan's sponsor. The adoption of the Plan in its entirety is intended to comply with the provisions of Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") and applicable regulations thereunder. The Plan is intended to qualify as a profit-sharing plan in accordance with the requirement of Section 401(a)(27) of the IRC. The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution retirement plan for U.S. employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and the IRC. ADMINISTRATION - The Plan is administered by Diamond Offshore Management Company through an administrative committee appointed by the President of the Company. Fidelity Management Trust Company ("Fidelity") is the Plan's trustee. PARTICIPANTS - Effective January 1, 1999, all U.S. employees as of December 31, 1998 became eligible to participate in the Plan on January 1, 1999. Employees with an original hire date on or after January 1, 1999, who have been employed for one year from their date of hire, became or will become a participant of the Plan. CONTRIBUTIONS - The Company makes a profit sharing contribution equal to 3.75% of the employee's qualified yearly earnings and a matching contribution equal to 25% for every percent the employee contributes up to a maximum of 6%. Matching contributions to the plan are invested based on the participant's investment election. If a participant fails to make a designation, his or her profit sharing contribution shall be invested in the balanced fund then offered under the Trust that would be applicable to the participant assuming an age 65 retirement. Effective January 1, 2002, each participant may make voluntary contributions of 1% to 50% of his or her qualified yearly earnings, from 15% in previous years, as defined by the Plan. In addition, employees at least 50 years of age in 2002 are permitted to contribute additional amounts ("Catch-up Contributions") of 1% to 50% of his or her qualified yearly earnings up to a maximum of $1,000 in addition to the pre-tax maximum. The Catch-up Contribution is not subject to employer match. INVESTMENT FUNDS - The Plan offers participants 19 investment options. These options include mutual funds, including the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II which is a stable value fund, and a Company stock fund. Plan participants, at their sole discretion, may transfer amounts between the various investment options, including the Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. Common Stock Fund, however, allocations to the Company stock fund are limited to no more than 25% of participants' allocation election. To the extent any additional contributions or transfers would cause the value of the account to the Company stock fund to exceed the 25% limit, such additional contributions may not be allocated to and no transfers may be made to the Company stock fund. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Each participant's account is credited with the Company's and the participant's contributions and an allocation of the Plan's earnings. Allocations are based primarily on account balances at specified dates as provided under the terms of the Plan. 4 VESTING - Each participant has, at all times, a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in his or her contributions, the earnings thereon and employer contributions made by the Company. Prior to January 1, 1999, matching contributions made by the Company to participant accounts were vested 100% after five years of service. FORFEITURES - Forfeitures resulting from the separation of service of participants not fully vested in the Plan can be applied to reduce Company contributions to the Plan. The balance in the available forfeiture account for future use totaled approximately $10,358 at December 31, 2002. LOANS - Participants may borrow from his or her account a minimum of $1,000 up to the lesser of: i) one-half of the vested value of the account or ii) $50,000. Such loans bear interest of prime + 1.0%, with varying maturity dates, not exceeding five years. DISTRIBUTIONS - Upon separation of service, each participant may elect to receive the entire account balance in a lump-sum payment. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, there were no unpaid amounts allocated to the accounts of persons who have elected to withdraw from the Plan. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION - The Plan's investment securities are stated at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. Loans are valued at cost which approximates market value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The net (depreciation) appreciation in fair value of investment securities consist of the net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation in fair value and realized gains (losses) upon the sale of investments. The net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation and realized gains (losses) upon sale are determined using the fair values as of the beginning of the year or the purchase price if acquired since that date. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - Benefit payments are recorded when paid. EXPENSES - Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company, as provided in the Plan document. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of the Plan's income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES - The Plan provides for various investments in common stock and registered investment companies. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term. 5 3. INVESTMENTS The following is a summary of individual Plan assets in excess of 5% of total Plan assets at December 31, 2002 and 2001: DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENT 2002 2001 Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II* $35,685,455 $31,081,949 Fidelity Equity Income Fund* 12,238,320 13,867,535 Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund* 9,808,310 11,910,018 Fidelity Growth Company Fund* 12,621,556 17,604,893 Loans to participants* 6,091,994 5,051,948 ---------- * Party-in-interest 4. PLAN TERMINATION Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon termination of the Plan by the Company, the trustee will distribute to each participant the amounts credited to his or her account. No amount will revert to the Company in the event of the Plan's termination. 5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Plan obtained a favorable tax determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") dated October 15, 2002 covering amendments through September 28, 2001. Though the Plan has been amended since that date, it is the opinion of the plan administrator that the Plan has met, and continues to meet, all necessary IRS requirements exempting it from federal income taxes; therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made. 6. PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by the trustee of the Plan. The Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. Common Stock Fund invests in the common stock of Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. Transactions with the trustee and the Company qualify as party-in-interest transactions. 6 DIAMOND OFFSHORE 401(k) PLAN SCHEDULE H, LINE 4i - SCHEDULE OF ASSETS (HELD AT END OF YEAR) December 31, 2002 IDENTITY OF ISSUE DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENT CURRENT VALUE ----------------- ------------------------- ------------- Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund* Mutual Fund $ 1,928,735 Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II* Mutual Fund 35,685,455 PIMCO Total Return Admin.
