(a) Nature of operations:
     Complete Production Services, Inc. is a provider of specialized services and products focused on developing hydrocarbon reserves, reducing operating costs and enhancing production for oil and gas companies. Complete Production Services, Inc. focuses its operations on basins within North America and manages its operations from regional field service facilities located throughout the U.S. Rocky Mountain region, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, western Canada, Mexico and Southeast Asia.
     References to “Complete,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and similar phrases used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate collectively to Complete Production Services, Inc. and its consolidated affiliates.
     On April 21, 2006, our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CPX”.
(b) Basis of presentation:
     The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of Complete as of March 31,June 30, 2010 and the statements of operations and the statements of comprehensive income for the quarters and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2010 and 2009, as well as the statement of stockholders’ equity for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010 and the statements of cash flows for the quarterssix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010 and 2009. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’sour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2010. We believe that these financial statements contain all adjustments necessary so that they are not misleading.
     In preparing financial statements, we make informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We review our estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, contingencies and income taxes. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates.
     The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that could be expected for the full year.

     Construction in progress at March 31,June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 primarily included progress payments to vendors for equipment to be delivered in future periods and component parts to be used in the final assembly of operating equipment, which in all cases were not yet placed into service at the time. For the quarter and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2010, we recorded capitalized interest of $79$190 and $269, respectively related to assets that we are constructing for internal use and amounts paid to vendors under progress payments for assets that are being constructed on our behalf.
     Effective March 1, 2009, our Canadian subsidiary transferred certain property, plant and equipment used in our production testing business to Enseco, a competitor, in exchange for certain electric line (e-line) equipment. This exchange was determined to have commercial substance for us and therefore5. Long-term notes receivable:
     On October 31, 2006, we recordedcompleted the new assets acquired at the fair market value of the assets surrendered which had a carrying value of $9,284. We incurred costs to sell totaling approximately $71. We determined the fair value of the assets with the assistancesale of a third-party appraiser, assumingdisposal group which included certain manufacturing and production enhancement operations of a subsidiary located in Alberta, Canada, as well as operations in south Texas. We sold this disposal group to an orderly liquidation methodology,oilfield service company located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In conjunction with this asset disposal, the buyer issued a note to us for $2,000 denominated in Canadian dollars. During the second quarter of 2010, we were notified that the seller was in default on a term loan and security agreement which was senior to our note. Therefore, management recorded a provision of $1,926 for bad debt associated with this note as of June 30, 2010, but we will continue to pursue our interest in this note to the extent a portion may be $4,487, resultingrecoverable in a loss on the exchange of $4,868. Of the total value assigned to the new assets, $4,209 was included in property, plant and equipment and $279 was included in inventory in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2009. The fair market value of the assets received was determined to be $5,497, using the same methodology applied to the assets surrendered. We believe that these e-line assets will generate cash flows in excess of the cash flows that would have been received from the production testing assets due to relatively higher demand from our customers for e-line services.future period.
5.6. Notes payable:
     We entered into a note arrangement to finance certain of our annual insurance premiums for the policy term beginningfrom December 1, 2007 and extending throughto April 30, 2009. Effective May 1, 2009, we renewed our insurance policies and entered into a similar financing arrangement for the twelve-month policy term which extended through April 2010. We recorded a note payable of $7,960. The balance of this note at December 31, 2009 was $1,069. We repaid this amount in January 2010, resulting in a zero balance at March 31, 2010. We have a prepaid asset associated

April 2010. Concurrently, we renewed our workers’ compensation, general liability and auto insurance policies through our insurance broker for the same policy term. Our accounting policy has been to record a prepaid asset associated with certain of these policies which is amortized over the term and which takes into account actual premium payments and deposits made to date, to record an accrued liability for premiums which are contractually committed for the policy term and to make monthly premium payments in accordance with our premium commitments and monthly note payments for amounts financed. Effective May 1, 2010, we renewed and prepaid our annual insurance policies. Our primary insurance policies extendpremiums for the policy term May 1, 2010 through April 30, 20102011, but chose to prepay our premiums which had been financed through a note arrangement in prior renewals. As a result, we recorded a prepaid asset of $4,267 associated with these renewals. We will continue to make monthly premium payments through our broker for our workers’ compensation, general liability and we expect to renew theseauto insurance policies effective May 1, 2010.during this twelve-month policy term.

(a) We maintain a senior secured facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as U.S. Administrative Agent, HSBC Bank Canada, as Canadian Administrative Agent, and certain other financial institutions. On October 13, 2009, we entered into the Third Amendment (the Credit Agreement after giving effect to the Third Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) and modified the structure of our existing credit facility to an asset-based facility subject to borrowing base restrictions. In connection with the Third Amendment, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (formerly known as Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC) replaced Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as U.S. Administrative Agent and also serves as U.S. Issuing Lender and U.S. Swingline Lender under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a U.S. revolving credit facility of up to $225,000 that matures in December 2011 and a Canadian revolving credit facility of up to $15,000 (with Integrated Production Services Ltd., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, as the borrower thereof (“Canadian Borrower”)) that matures in December 2011. The Amended Credit Agreement includes a provision for a “commitment increase”, as defined therein, which permits us to effect up to two separate increases in the aggregate commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement by designating one or more existing lenders or other banks or financial institutions, subject to the bank’s sole discretion as to participation, to provide additional aggregate financing up to $75,000, with each committed increase equal to at least $25,000 in the U.S., or $5,000 in Canada, and in accordance with other provisions as stipulated in the Amended Credit Agreement. Certain portions of the credit facilities are available to be borrowed in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars and other currencies approved by the lenders.
 
  We were in compliance withnot subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant in the Amended Credit Agreement as of March 31,June 30, 2010 since the Excess Availability Amount plus Qualified Cash Amount (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) exceeded $50,000. If we were subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant we would have been in compliance as of June 30, 2010. For a discussion of the methodology to calculate the borrowing base for the U.S. and Canadian portions of the facility, as well as our debt covenant requirements, prepayment options and potential exposure in the event of a default under the Amended Credit Agreement, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2009.
 
  All of the obligations under the U.S. portion of the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of our assets and the assets of our U.S. subsidiaries as well

9


as a pledge of approximately 66% of the stock of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, all of the obligations under the U.S. portion of the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries. The obligations under the Canadian portion of the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries (other than our Mexican subsidiary). Additionally, all of the obligations under the Canadian portion of the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us as well as certain of our subsidiaries.
 
  Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, we have the ability to elect how interest under the Amended Credit Agreement will be computed. Interest under the Amended Credit Agreement may be determined by reference to (1) the London Inter-bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin between 3.75% and 4.25% per annum (with the

9


applicable margin depending upon our “excess availability amount”, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) or (2) the “Base Rate” (which means the higher of the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, 3-month LIBOR plus 1.00% and 3.50%), plus the applicable margin, as described above. For the period from the effective date of the Third Amendment until the six month anniversary of the effective date of the Third Amendment, interest will bewas computed as described above with an applicable margin rate of 4.00%. If an event of default exists or continues under the Amended Credit Agreement, advances will bear interest as described above with an applicable margin rate of 4.25% plus 2.00%. Additionally, if an event of default exists under the Amended Credit Agreement, as defined therein, the lenders could accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding thereunder and exercise other rights and remedies. Interest is payable monthly.
 
  There were no borrowings outstanding under our U.S. or Canadian revolving credit facilities as of or during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2010. There were letters of credit outstanding under the U.S. revolving portion of the facility totaling $54,649,$48,489, which reduced the available borrowing capacity as of March 31,June 30, 2010. We incurred fees related to our letters of credit foras of June 30, 2010 at 4.0% per annum. For the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010, which wasfees related to our letters of credit were calculated using a 360-day provision, at 4.1% per annum. The availability of the U.S. and Canadian revolving credit facilities is determined by our borrowing base less any borrowings and letters of credit outstanding. The net excess availability under our borrowing base calculations for the U.S. and Canadian revolving facilities at March 31,June 30, 2010 was $104,370$148,466 and $9,932,$3,928, respectively.
 
  We will incur unused commitment fees under the Amended Credit Agreement ranging from 0.50% to 1.00% based on the average daily balance of amounts outstanding. The unused commitment fees were calculated at 1.00% as of March 31,June 30, 2010.
 
(b) On December 6, 2006, we issued 8.0% senior notes with a face value of $650,000 through a private placement of debt. These notes mature in 10 years, on December 15, 2016, and require semi-annual interest payments, paid in arrears and calculated based on an annual rate of 8.0%, on June 15 and December 15, of each year, which commenced on June 15, 2007. There was no discount or premium associated with the issuance of these notes. The senior notes are guaranteed by all of our current domestic subsidiaries. The senior notes have covenants which, among other things: (1) limit the amount of additional indebtedness we can incur; (2) limit restricted payments such as a dividend; (3) limit our ability to incur liens or encumbrances; (4) limit our ability to purchase, transfer or dispose of significant assets; (5) limit our ability to purchase or redeem stock or subordinated debt; (6) limit our ability to enter into transactions with affiliates; (7) limit our ability to merge with or into other companies or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; and (8) limit our ability to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. We have the option to redeem all or part of these notes on or after December 15, 2011. Additionally, we may redeem some or all of the notes prior to December 15, 2011 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus a make-whole premium.
 
  Pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the holders of our 8.0% senior notes, on June 1, 2007, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC which enabled these holders to exchange their notes for publicly registered notes with substantially identical terms. These holders exchanged 100% of the notes for publicly traded notes on July 25, 2007. On August 28, 2007, we entered into a supplement to the indenture governing the 8.0% senior notes, whereby additional domestic subsidiaries became guarantors under the indenture. Effective April 1, 2009, we entered into a second supplement to this indenture whereby additional domestic subsidiaries became guarantors under the indenture.

7.8. Stockholders’ equity:
(a) Stock-based Compensation—Stock Options:
     We maintain option plans under which we grant stock-based compensation to employees, officers and directors to purchase our common stock. The exercise price of each option is based on the fair value of the company’s stock at the date of grant. Options may be exercised over a five or ten-year period and generally a third of the options vest on each of the first three anniversaries from the grant date. Upon exercise of

10


stock options, we issue our common stock.
     We calculate stock compensation expense for our stock-based compensation awards by measuring the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, with limited exceptions, by using an option pricing model to determine fair value. A further description can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2009.
     Effective January 29, 2010, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the annual grant of stock options and non-vested restricted stock to certain employees, officers and directors. Pursuant to this authorization, we issued 790,396 shares of non-vested restricted stock on January 29, 2010 at a grant price of $12.53 per share. We expect to recognize compensation expense associated with these grants of non-vested restricted stock totaling $9,904 ratably over the three-year vesting periods. In addition, we granted 5,000 and 2,400 shares of non-vested restricted stock on March 1, 2010 and March 8, 2010, at a grant price of $14.50 and $14.98, respectively. We expect to recognize compensation expense of $108 associated with these March 2010 grants. On January 29, 2010, we granted 510,300 stock options to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $12.53 per share. We will recognize compensation expense associated with these stock option grants ratably over the three-year vesting period. The fair value of the stock options granted during the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010 was determined by applying a Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:
   
  QuarterSix Months Ended
  March 31,June 30,
Assumptions: 2010
Risk-free rate 1.38% to 2.34%
Expected term (in years) 3.7 to 5.1
Volatility 50.4%
Calculated fair value per option $4.83 to $5.81
     We calculated an average volatility factor for our common stock for the three-year period just prior to the grant date of thisthe award. This volatility calculation was used to compute the calculation of the fair market value of stock option grants made during the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010.
     We projected a rate of stock option forfeitures based upon historical experience and management assumptions related to the expected term of the options. After adjusting for these forfeitures, we expect to recognize expense totaling $2,635 over the vesting period of these 2010 stock option grants. For the quarter and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2010, we have recognized expense related to these stock option grants totaling $151,$217 and $368, respectively, which represents a reduction of net income before taxes. The impact on net income for the net lossquarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 was a decrease of $133 and $225, respectively, with a $0.01 reduction in basic earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2010 was an increase of $102, withand no impact on diluted earnings per share as reported.for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The unrecognized compensation costs related to the non-vested portion of these awards was $2,484$2,267 as of March 31,June 30, 2010 and will be recognized over the applicable remaining vesting periods.
     For the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized compensation expense associated with all stock option awards totaling $750$593 and $1,338,$1,053, respectively, resulting in a decrease in net income of $363 and an increase in net loss of $504 and $1,017, respectively, and$740, respectively. The impact of this compensation expense on earnings per share was a $0.01 reduction in diluted earnings per share for each of the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2010 and 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized compensation

11


expense associated with all stock option awards totaling $1,343 and $2,392 respectively, resulting in a decrease in net income of $821 and an increase in net loss of $1,682, respectively. This resulted in a $0.01 impact on earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and a $0.02 impact on earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Total unrecognized compensation expense associated with outstanding stock option awards at March 31,June 30, 2010 was $3,921$3,325 or $2,639,$2,034, net of tax.
     The following tables provide a roll forward of stock options from December 31, 2009 to March 31,June 30, 2010 and a summary of stock options outstanding by exercise price range at March 31,June 30, 2010:

(b) Non-vested Restricted Stock:
     We present the amortization of non-vested restricted stock as an increase in additional paid-in capital. At March 31,June 30, 2010, amounts not yet recognized related to non-vested restricted stock totaled $17,265,$14,606, which represented the unamortized expense associated with awards of non-vested stock granted to employees, officers and directors under our compensation plans, including $10,012 related to grants during the six months ended June 30, 2010. There were no grants of non-vested restricted stock during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2010. We recognized compensation expense associated with non-vested restricted stock totaling $1,884$2,428 and $2,122$2,192 for the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $4,312 and $4,314 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(c) Treasury Shares:
     In accordance with the provisions of the 2008 Incentive Award Plan, as amended, holders of non-vested restricted stock were given the option to either remit to us the required withholding taxes associated with the vesting of restricted stock, or to authorize us to repurchasepurchase shares equivalent to the cost of the withholding tax and to remit the withholding taxes on behalf of the holder. Pursuant to this provision, we repurchasedpurchased the following shares inof our common stock during the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010:

8.9. Earnings per share:
     We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of

12


common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common and potential common share includes the weighted average of additional shares associated with the incremental effect of dilutive employee stock options and non-vested restricted stock, as determined using the treasury stock method prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on earnings per share. The following table reconciles basic and diluted weighted average shares used in the computation of earnings per share for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:
                 
  Quarter Ended Six Months Ended

     For each of the quartersquarter and six months ended March 31, 2010 andJune 30, 2009, we incurred a net lossesloss and thus all potential common shares were deemed to be anti-dilutive. We excluded the impact of anti-dilutive potential common shares from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares for the quartersquarter and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2010 and 2009. If these potential common shares were included in the calculation, the impact would have been a decrease in diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 386,688342,931 shares and 5,147,1442,878,172 shares for the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and 364,171 shares and 3,978,165 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
9.10. Segment information:
     We report segment information based on how our management organizes the operating segments to make operational decisions and to assess financial performance. We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on net income (loss) from continuing operations before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interest and impairment loss (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for calculations under U.S. GAAP, in particular net income. Adjusted EBITDA is included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because our management considers it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, some of which present EBITDA when reporting their results. We regularly evaluate our

13


performance as compared to other companies in our industry that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates by using Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating acquisition targets. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful tool for measuring our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements, and Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by us and our investors to measure our ability to service indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA is not a substitute for the GAAP measures of earnings or cash flow and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. In addition, it should be noted that companies calculate EBITDA differently and, therefore, EBITDA has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-controlling interest.amortization. Adjusted EBITDA calculated by us may not be comparable to the calculation of EBITDA as defined and used under our credit facilities (see Note 7, Long-term debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for a description of the calculation of EBITDA under our existing credit facility, as amended). See also the table below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to operating income (loss) by segment.
     We have three reportable operating segments: completion and production services (“C&PS”), drilling services and product sales. The accounting policies of our reporting segments are the same as those used to prepare our consolidated financial statements as of March 31,June 30, 2010. Inter-segment transactions are accounted for on a cost recovery basis.

(a)On May 11, 2010, we acquired certain assets of a provider of gas lift services based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for $1,365 in cash, subject to an additional $75 holdback. We recorded goodwill of $1,017 and fixed assets, inventory and other working capital of $348. The purchase price allocation is preliminary as of June 30, 2010. We believe this acquisition supplements our plunger lift service offering for the completion and production services business segment.
10.11. Financial instruments:
     The financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, bank operating loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt and senior notes. The fair value of all financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts due to their current maturities or market rates of interest, except the senior notes which were issued in December 2006 with a fixed 8% coupon rate. At March 31,June 30, 2010, the fair value of these notes was $648,375$637,813 based on the published closing price.
     A significant portion of our trade accounts receivable is from companies in the oil and gas industry, and as such, we are exposed to normal industry credit risks. We evaluate the credit-worthiness of our major new and existing customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral. For the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010, one customer provided 11.1%11.2% of our sales and another customer provided 9.5%11.0% of our sales.
11.12. Legal matters and contingencies:
     In the normal course of our business, we are a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations, products, employees and other matters, including warranty and product liability claims and occasional claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials, on the job injuries and fatalities as a result of our products or operations. Many of the claims filed against us relate to motor vehicle accidents which can result in the loss of life or serious bodily injury. Some of these claims relate to matters occurring prior to our acquisition of businesses. In certain cases, we are entitled to indemnification from the sellers of such businesses.
     Although we cannot know or predict with certainty the outcome of any claim or proceeding or the effect such outcomes may have on us, we believe that any liability resulting from the resolution of any of

15


these matters, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
     We have historically incurred additional insurance premium related to a cost-sharing provision of our general liability insurance policy, and we cannot be certain that we will not incur additional costs until either existing claims become further developed or until the limitation periods expire for each respective policy year. Any such additional premiums should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

13.14. Recent accounting pronouncements and authoritative literature:
     In May 2009, the FASB issued a standard regarding subsequent events that provides guidance as to when an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after a balance sheet date in its financial statements and the necessary disclosures related to these events. Specifically, the entity should recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including significant estimates used to prepare financial statements. Originally, this standard required entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events had been evaluated and whether that date was the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. We adopted this accounting standard effective June 30, 2009 and applied its provisions prospectively. In February 2010, the FASB modified this standard to eliminate the requirement for an SEC filing entitypublicly-traded entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Therefore, we omitted the disclosure in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of March 31,June 30, 2010.
     In January 2010, the FASB issued “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (Topic 820)” which clarified the disclosure requirements of existing U.S. GAAP related to fair value measurements. This standard requires additional disclosures about recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements as follows: (1) for transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, as those terms are currently defined in existing authoritative literature, a reporting entity is required to disclose the amount of the movement between levels and an explanation for the movement; (2) for activity at Level 3, primarily fair value measurements based on unobservable inputs, a reporting entity is required to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, as opposed to presenting such transactions on a net basis; (3) in the event of a disaggregation, a reporting entity is required to provide fair value measurement disclosure for each class of assets and liabilities; and (4) a reporting entity is required to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements for items that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. These disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements for which disclosure becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard did not impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2010.
     On March 30, 2010, the President of the United States signed the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which is a reconciliation bill that amends the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that was signed by the President on March 23, 2010. We are currently awaiting guidance from the FASB and SEC related to the implications of this new legislation on accounting and disclosure requirements. We expect that this legislation will have an impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, but we cannot determine the extent of the impact at this time.
14. Subsequent Events:
     In April 2010, we received federal income tax refunds totaling $43.7 million in connection with our 2009 federal income tax return, partially resulting from the realization of certain net operating loss carry backs for fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008.

     CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     Certain statements and information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about us and the oil and gas industry. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may be outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: market prices for oil and gas, the level of oil and gas drilling, economic and competitive conditions, capital expenditures, regulatory changes and other uncertainties. Other factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our projected results are described in: (1) Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report, (2) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, (3) our reports and registration statements filed from time to time with the SEC and (4) other announcements we make from time to time. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed below may not occur. Unless otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.
     The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of March 31,June 30, 2010 and for the quarters and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2010 and 2009, included elsewhere herein.
Overview
     We are a leading provider of specialized services and products focused on helping oil and gas companies develop hydrocarbon reserves, reduce operating costs and enhance production. We focus on basins within North America that we believe have attractive long-term potential for growth, and we deliver targeted, value-added services and products required by our customers within each specific basin. We believe our range of services and products positions us to meet the many needs of our customers at the wellsite, from drilling and completion through production and eventual abandonment. We manage our operations from regional field service facilities located throughout the U.S. Rocky Mountain region, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, western Canada, Mexico and Southeast Asia.
     We operate in three business segments:
     Completion and Production Services. Through our completion and production services segment, we establish, maintain and enhance the flow of oil and gas throughout the life of a well. This segment is divided into the following primary service lines:
  Intervention Services.Well intervention requires the use of specialized equipment to perform an array of wellbore services. Our fleet of intervention service equipment includes coiled tubing units, pressure pumping units, nitrogen units, well service rigs, snubbing units and a variety of support equipment. Our intervention services provide customers with innovative solutions to increase production of oil and gas.

  Downhole and Wellsite Services.Our downhole and wellsite services include electric-line, slickline, production optimization, production testing, rental and fishing services.
  Fluid Handling.We provide a variety of services to help our customers obtain, move, store and dispose of fluids that are involved in the development and production of their reservoirs. Through our fleet of specialized trucks, frac tanks and other assets, we provide fluid transportation, heating, pumping and disposal services for our customers.
     Drilling Services. Through our drilling services segment, we provide services and equipment that initiate or stimulate oil and gas production by providing land drilling and specialized rig logistics services. Our drilling rigs operate primarily in and around the Barnett Shale region of north Texas.
     Product Sales. We provide oilfield service equipment and refurbishment of used equipment through our Southeast Asian business, and we provide repair work and fabrication services for our customers at a business located in Gainesville, Texas.
     Substantially all service and rental revenue we earn is based upon a charge for a period of time (an hour, a day, a week) for the actual period of time the service or rental is provided to our customer or on a fixed per-stage-completed fee. Product sales are recorded when the actual sale occurs and title or ownership passes to the customer.
General
     The primary factors influencing demand for our services and products are the level of drilling and workover activity of our customers and the complexity of such activity, which in turn, depends on current and anticipated future oil and gas prices, production depletion rates and the resultant levels of cash flows generated and allocated by our customers to their drilling and workover budgets. As a result, demand for our services and products is cyclical, substantially depends on activity levels in the North American oil and gas industry and is highly sensitive to current and expected oil and natural gas prices.
     We consider the drilling and well service rig counts to be an indication of spending by our customers in the oil and gas industry for exploration and development of new and existing hydrocarbon reserves. These spending levels are a primary driver of our business, and we believe that our customers tend to invest more in these activities when oil and gas prices are at higher levels, are increasing, or are expected to increase.

Outlook
     Market conditions during 2009 were challenging as oil and gas prices declined from historical highs in 2008 due to a number of macro-economic factors, resulting in reduced drilling and completion related activities by our customers. Throughout 2009, our operating results reflected this decline in activity as equipment was under-utilized and we experienced unfavorable pricing for our services and products. In response to these market conditions we decreased our level of investment in capital expenditures relative to the prior years, and implemented cost-saving measures. In addition, we recorded impairment charges related to our drilling rigs totaling $36.2 million, as well as impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets which totaled $97.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Throughout 2009, our focus was on lowering the costs of our operations and support functions, while remaining responsive to our customers’ needs for quality services.
During the first quartersix months of 2010, we have begun to seeseen favorable trends forin our business relative to the challenging market conditions we experienced in 2009. Since the end of 2009, we experienced an increase in our asset utilization and pricing in most of our business lines particularly our pressure pumping business, and in most of our operating areas utilization levels began to improve.areas. Although we cannot be certain that these improvements will continue, we believe the improvingsustainability of current oil prices, due to economic indicators of an improved global economy relative to 2009, and the resulting increases in oil prices along with the need for our customers to hold recently acquired acreage, shouldwill create incentives to maintain, if not expand, activity in liquids-richoil and liquid-rich fields and emerging basins such as the Bakken Shale in North Dakota, the Eagle-FordEagle Ford Shale in south Texas and the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and the Haynesville Shale in Louisiana.Pennsylvania. However, activity levels in the more mature gas markets are less certain and may experience declines due to current natural gas prices. In addition, we believe that any near-term growth will be largely related to multi-stage, horizontal well completions. Since we have invested heavily in equipment that is configured for horizontal completions, we believe we are well positioned to be opportunistic in the basins in which we serve our customers.
     Our long-term growth strategy has not changed. We seek to increase our internal capital investment by maximizingmaximize our equipment utilization adding like-kindand grow through organic investments in like equipment and expanding our service and product offerings. We plan to grow externally by acquiring complementary businesses to expand our service offerings in a current operating area or to extend our geographical footprint into targeted basins. In 2009, we reduced our overall capital investment to $38.5 million, and we did not complete any business acquisitions. For 2010, we expect to spend between $70.0$155.0 million and $80.0$165.0 million for capital investment, and we are evaluating business acquisition opportunities. We may exceed $80.0 million in capital investments if additional attractive investment opportunities are identified.
Recent Transactions
     In March 2009, our Canadian subsidiary exchanged certain non-monetary assets with a net book value of $9.3 million related to our production testing business for certain e-line assets of a competitor. We recorded a non-cash loss on the transaction of $4.9 million, which represented the difference between the carrying value and the fair market value of the assets surrendered. We believe the e-line assets will generate incremental future cash flows compared to the production testing assets exchanged.
     On May 11, 2010, we acquired certain assets of a provider of gas lift services based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for $1.4 million in cash, subject to an additional holdback of $0.1 million. We recorded goodwill of $1.0 million and fixed assets, inventory and other working capital of $0.3 million. The purchase price allocation is preliminary as of June 30, 2010. We believe this acquisition supplements our plunger lift service offering for the completion and production services business segment.

2123


     Effective June 30, 2010, we exchanged certain property, plant and equipment used in our fluid handling business for other equipment. This exchange was determined to have commercial substance for us and therefore we recorded the new assets at the fair market value of the assets received, which was more readily determinable than the fair market value of the assets surrendered. The fair market value of the assets received was $0.8 million, resulting in a gain on the non-monetary exchange of $0.5 million.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and provide a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available through open market quotes. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We must use our judgment related to uncertainties in order to make these estimates and assumptions.
     For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates as well as certain sensitivity disclosures related to those estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed materially during the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010.

“Corporate” includes amounts related to corporate personnel costs, other general expenses and stock-based compensation charges.
“Adjusted EBITDA” consists of net income (loss) from continuing operations before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interest and impairment loss. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA as the primary internal management measure for evaluating performance and allocating additional resources because our management considers it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, some of which present EBITDA when reporting their results. We regularly evaluate our performance as compared to other companies in our industry that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates by using Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating acquisition targets. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful tool for measuring our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements, and Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by us and our investors to measure our ability to service indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA is not a substitute for the GAAP measures of earnings or cash flow and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. In addition, it should be noted that companies calculate EBITDA differently and, therefore, EBITDA has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-controlling interest. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is different from the calculation of “EBITDA,” as defined and used in our credit facilities. For a discussion of the definition of “EBITDA” under our existing credit facilities, as recently amended, see Note 7, Long-term debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

     Below is a discussion of our operating results by segment for these periods.
Quarter Ended March 31,June 30, 2010 Compared to the Quarter Ended March 31,June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
     Revenue
     Revenue for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2010 decreasedincreased by $27.0$121.8 million, or 8%51%, to $309.7$360.2 million from $336.7$238.4 million for the same period in 2009. The changes by segment were as follows:
  Completion and Production Services.Segment revenue decreased $21.2increased $114.0 million, or 7%58%, for the quarter primarily due to lower pricing caused by an overall declinea substantial increase in investment by our customers in oil and gas exploration and development activities which beganresulting in late 2008higher utilization of our equipment.

  Drilling Services.Segment revenue decreased $0.3increased $15.7 million, or 1%64%, for the quarter. On a year-over-year basis, this business segment has been impacted by lowerquarter primarily due to improved utilization rates and pricing in our contract drilling operations and lower pricing in our rig logistics business.relocation and contract drilling businesses. The drilling services segment has benefitted from a number of long rig moves in the first quarter of 2010, as customers repositionrepositioned assets in to emerging markets such as the Bakken Shale and Eagle-Ford Shale.Eagle Ford Shales.
  Product Sales.Segment revenue decreased $5.5$7.9 million, or 40%46%, for the quarter primarilydue to lower third-party sales at our fabrication and repair business in Texas. During the first quarter of 2009, we completed several projects including a well service rig for a customer and sold several large inventory items. This business had less activity during the first quarter of 2010, as a result of the overall declineTexas, partially offset by an increase in spending byproduct sales from our customers on new equipment.Asian operations.
     Service and Product Expenses
     Service and product expenses include labor costs associated with the execution and support of our services, materials used in the performance of those services and other costs directly related to the support and maintenance of equipment. These expenses decreased $8.8increased $66.6 million, or 4%41%, to $212.9$230.9 million for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2010 from $221.7$164.3 million for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2009. The following table summarizes service and product expenses as a percentage of revenues for the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2010 and 2009:

     Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue increaseddecreased for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to increased asset utilization and some pricing improvements. Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for the completion and production and drilling services business segments decreased when comparing the quarter ended June 30, 2010 to the same period in 2009. Margins by business segment were primarily impacted by lowerThis favorable decrease in expense is attributable to the product mix, particularly a shift to historically higher-margin service lines and an increase in overall oilfield activity which resulted in positive incremental margins. Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue as described in more detail below.
Completion and Production Services.Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for this business segment increased when comparing the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to the same period in 2009 due to lower revenue in the first quarter offor the products segments remained consistent for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and cost-saving measures implemented in late 2008 and early 2009.
Drilling Services.Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for this business segment increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to lower revenue and the benefit received from the aforementioned cost-saving measures.
Product Sales.Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for the products segments decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Impacting the results for the first quarter of 2009 was the sale of several large inventory items at lower margins. Therefore, although year-over-year sales were down for the products business, the mix of product sales for the first quarter of 2010 was more favorable than that of the comparable quarter in 2009.
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries and other related expenses for our selling, administrative, finance, information technology and human resource functions. Selling, general and

     Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $6.4$5.9 million, or 12%, to $45.3$45.5 million for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2010 from $51.7$51.4 million for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2009. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to asset retirements in 2009, including impairments taken related to our drilling rig business in Texas during the third quarter of 2009. Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter of 2010 was also impacted by the impairment of certain intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2009. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization was 15%13% and 22% for the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Interest expense
     Interest expense increased 6%, or $0.9 million, to $14.8 million for the quarter ended June 2010 compared to $13.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to higher costs associated with our credit facility, which was amended during the fourth quarter of 2009.
     Taxes
     We recorded a tax benefitprovision of $1.3$9.5 million for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2010 at an effective rate of approximately 33%39% and a tax benefit of $0.1$10.9 million for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2009 at an effective rate of approximately 24%30%. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax earnings in various tax jurisdictions resulting in higher state income taxes and a decrease in benefit from the foreign tax rate differential.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
Revenue
     Revenue for the quartersix months ended March 31, 2009 was impactedJune 30, 2010 increased by a $4.9$94.9 million, loss on a non-monetary asset exchangeor 16%, to $669.9 million from $575.1 million for the same period in Canada.2009. The changes by segment were as follows:
Completion and Production Services.Segment revenue increased $92.8 million, or 19%, for the six months primarily due to an increase in demand for our services and an overall increase in activity levels for the oil and gas industry during 2010 compared to 2009, resulting in higher utilization of our equipment. Activity levels and pricing in some service lines and select geographic areas began to improve during the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2009 and continued improving throughout the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Drilling Services.Segment revenue increased $15.4 million, or 26%, for the six months primarily due to improved utilization in our rig relocation business partially offset by lower average pricing and utilization in our contract drilling business. The drilling services segment benefitted from long rig moves as customers repositioned assets in to emerging markets such as the Bakken and Eagle Ford Shales.
Product Sales.Segment revenue decreased $13.4 million, or 43%, for the six months due primarily to lower third-party sales at our repair and fabrication shop in north Texas during the first six months of 2010. Revenues also declined in our Southeast Asia business during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to a change in the sales mix and the timing of product sales and equipment refurbishment, which tends to be project-specific.

Service and Product Expenses
     Service and product expenses increased $57.9 million, or 15%, to $443.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $386.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The following table summarizes service and product expenses as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended June, 2010 and 2009:
Service and Product Expenses as a Percentage of Revenue
             
  Six Months Ended
  6/30/10 6/30/09 Change
Segment:
Completion and production services  65%  66%  (1%)
Drilling services  72%  71%  1%
Product sales  76%  77%  (1%)
Total  66%  67%  (1%)
     Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Margins by business segment were primarily impacted by utilization and pricing.
Completion and Production Services.Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for this business segment decreased when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the same period in 2009. The year-over-year favorable margin improvement was attributable primarily to the service mix with an increase in sales for historically higher-margin offerings, partially offset by some inflationary factors including higher labor costs.
Drilling Services.Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for this business segment increased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to a shift in service mix which resulted in a larger percentage of revenue from our rig logistics business.
Product Sales.Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for the products segments decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, primarily due to the product mix for this business.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $10.0 million, or 11% to $84.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $94.9 million for the same period in 2009. Higher costs associated with incentive compensation were more than offset by a decrease in bad debt expense and a decline in losses associated with asset dispositions. We recorded a loss on the non-monetary exchange of certain assets in Canada during the first quarter of 2009 which totaled $4.9 million. Excluding the impact of this non-monetary asset exchange in 2009, as a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expense was 13% and 16% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization
     Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $12.3 million, or 12%, to $90.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $103.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to asset retirements in 2009, including impairments taken related to our drilling rig business in Texas during the third quarter of 2009. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was also impacted by the impairment of certain intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2009. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization expense decreased to 14% from 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

28


Interest Expense
     Interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 4%, to $29.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $28.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to higher costs associated with our credit facility, which was amended during the fourth quarter of 2009, and an increase in the average balance of letters of credit outstanding. The weighted-average interest rate of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2010 and 2009 was 8.0%.
Taxes
     We recorded a tax provision of $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 at an effective rate of approximately 39% and a tax benefit of $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 at an effective rate of 30%. The lower effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was due to our foreign tax rate differential, the impact of state and provincial tax expense relative to our operating loss and certain non-deductible items for the years in which losses occurred.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     The disruption in the credit markets which occurred in 2008 and 2009 resulted in a significant adverse impact on the availability of credit from a number of financial institutions. We are not currently a party to any interest rate swaps, currency hedges or derivative contracts of any type and have no exposure to commercial paper or auction rate securities markets. We will continue to closely monitor our liquidity and the overall health of the credit markets. However, we cannot predict with any certainty the impact that any further disruption in the credit environment would have on us.
     Our primary liquidity needs are to fund capital expenditures and general working capital. In addition, we have historically obtained capital to fund strategic business acquisitions. Our primary sources of funds have been cash flow from operations, proceeds from borrowings under bank credit facilities, a private placement of debt that was subsequently exchanged for publicly registered debt and the issuance of equity securities in our initial public offering.
     As of March 31,June 30, 2010, we had working capital, net of cash, of $206.5$213.6 million and cash and cash equivalents of $105.4$141.6 million, compared to working capital, net of cash, of $200.8 million and cash and cash equivalents of $77.4 million at December 31, 2009. Our working capital, net of cash, remained relatively consistent at March 31,June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Cash increased primarily due to collectionfavorable operating results for the first six months of trade receivables.2010.
     We anticipate that we will rely on cash generated from operations, borrowings under our amended revolving credit facility, future debt offerings and/or future public equity offerings to satisfy our liquidity needs. We believe that funds from these sources or funds received from our newly amended credit facility, will be sufficient to meet both our short-term working capital requirements and our long-term capital requirements. If our plans or assumptions change, are inaccurate, or if we make further acquisitions, we may have to raise additional capital. Our ability to fund planned capital expenditures and to make acquisitions will depend upon our future operating performance, and more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in our industry, and general financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. In addition,new debt obtained could include service requirements based on higher interest paid and shorter maturities and could impose a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition. The issuance of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to stockholders.
     On October 13, 2009, we completed an amendment to our existing revolving credit facilities (the “Third Amendment”) which modified the structure of the credit facility to an asset-based facility subject to borrowing base restrictions. This amendment provided us with less restrictive financial debt covenants and reduced borrowing capacity under the facility. We believe the amended revolving credit facility will allow us to better manage our cash flow needs, provide greater certainty of access to funds in the future and allow us to use our asset base for future financing needs.

     The following table summarizes cash flows by type for the periods indicated (in thousands):
                
 Quarters Ended Six Months Ended

Financing activities  (1,699)  (121,282)  (7)  (201,362)
     Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $91.9$115.2 million for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. ThisOperating cash flows for 2009 were positively impacted by an increase in cash receipts, as overall oilfield activity levels declined and receivables were collected. During the first six months of 2010, and in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 in particular, cash receipts activity has remained favorable, but has been offset by higher receivables balances at June 30, 2010 due to increases in activity levels and sales volumes. Partially offsetting this decrease in operating cash flows in the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to higher cash receipts in 2009 asassociated with trade receivables were collected. As market conditions deteriorated, sales declined and fewer new receivables were recorded, thereby generating higher operating cash flows in 2009 relative to 2010. Also impacting operating cash flows was the timingreceipt of payroll related accruals at March 31, 2010 relative to March 31, 2009.a $43.7 million tax refund in April 2010.
     Net cash used in investing activities increased by $5.2$25.6 million for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010

25


compared to the same period in 2009. This was primarily driven by lower cash proceeds from the disposal of assetsa relative increase in capital spending during the first quartersix months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in capital spending in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.2010.
     Net cash used in financing activities was $1.7decreased $201.4 million for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010 compared to $121.3 million for the same period in 2009. In the first quartersix months of 2009, we repaid $119.9$197.2 million of net borrowings under our debt facilities. No borrowings or repayments were made under these debt facilities for the first quarterhalf of 2010. Our long-term debt, including current maturities, was $650.2 million as of March 31,June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
     We believe that our cash balance, operating cash flows and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months.
Dividends
     We did not pay dividends on our $0.01 par value common stock during the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010 or during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather plan to build our cash balance near-term and reinvest such funds in our business. Furthermore, our credit facility contains restrictive debt covenants which preclude us from paying future dividends on our common stock.
Description of Our Indebtedness
Senior Notes.
     On December 6, 2006, we issued 8.0% senior notes with a face value of $650.0 million through a private placement of debt. These notes mature in 10 years, on December 15, 2016, and require semi-annual interest payments, paid in arrears and calculated based on an annual rate of 8.0%, on June 15 and December 15, of each year, which commenced on June 15, 2007. There was no discount or premium associated with the issuance of these notes. The senior notes are guaranteed by all of our current domestic subsidiaries. The senior notes have covenants which, among other things: (1) limit the amount of additional indebtedness we can incur; (2) limit restricted payments such as a dividend; (3) limit our ability to incur liens or encumbrances; (4) limit our ability to purchase, transfer or dispose of significant assets; (5) limit our ability to purchase or redeem stock or subordinated debt; (6) limit our ability to enter into transactions with affiliates; (7) limit our ability to merge with or into other companies or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; and (8) limit our ability to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. We have the option to redeem all or part of these notes on or after December 15, 2011. Additionally, we may redeem some or all of the notes prior to December 15, 2011 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus a make-whole premium.
     Pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the holders of our 8.0% senior notes, on June 1, 2007, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC which enabled these holders to exchange their notes for publicly registered notes with substantially identical terms. These holders exchanged 100% of

30


the notes for publicly traded notes on July 25, 2007. On August 28, 2007, we entered into a supplement to the indenture governing the 8.0% senior notes, whereby additional domestic subsidiaries became guarantors under the indenture. Effective April 1, 2009, we entered into a second supplement to this indenture whereby additional domestic subsidiaries became guarantors under the indenture.
Credit Facility.
     We maintain a senior secured facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as U.S. Administrative Agent, HSBC Bank Canada, as Canadian Administrative Agent, and certain other financial institutions. On October 13, 2009, we entered into the Third Amendment (the Credit Agreement after giving effect to the Third Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) and modified the structure of our existing credit facility to an asset-based facility subject to borrowing base restrictions. In connection with the Third Amendment, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (formerly known as Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC) replaced Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as U.S. Administrative Agent and also serves as U.S. Issuing Lender and U.S. Swingline Lender under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a U.S. revolving credit facility of up to $225 million that matures

26


in December 2011 and a Canadian revolving credit facility of up to $15 million (with Integrated Production Services Ltd., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, as the borrower thereof (“Canadian Borrower”)) that matures in December 2011. The Amended Credit Agreement includes a provision for a “commitment increase”, as defined therein, which permits us to effect up to two separate increases in the aggregate commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement by designating one or more existing lenders or other banks or financial institutions, subject to the bank’s sole discretion as to participation, to provide additional aggregate financing up to $75 million, with each committed increase equal to at least $25 million in the U.S., or $5 million in Canada, and in accordance with other provisions as stipulated in the Amended Credit Agreement. Certain portions of the credit facilities are available to be borrowed in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars and other currencies approved by the lenders.
     We were in compliance withnot subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant in the Amended Credit Agreement as of March 31,June 30, 2010 since the Excess Availability Amount plus Qualified Cash Amount (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) exceeded $50 million. If we were subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, we would have been in compliance as of June 30, 2010. For a discussion of the methodology to calculate the borrowing base for the U.S. and Canadian portions of the facility, as well as our debt covenant requirements, prepayment options and potential exposure in the event of a default under the Amended Credit Agreement, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2009.
     All of the obligations under the U.S. portion of the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of our assets and the assets of our U.S. subsidiaries as well as a pledge of approximately 66% of the stock of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, all of the obligations under the U.S. portion of the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries. The obligations under the Canadian portion of the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries (other than our Mexican subsidiary). Additionally, all of the obligations under the Canadian portion of the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us as well as certain of our subsidiaries.
     Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, we have the ability to elect how interest under the Amended Credit Agreement will be computed. Interest under the Amended Credit Agreement may be determined by reference to (1) the London Inter-bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin between 3.75% and 4.25% per annum (with the applicable margin depending upon our “excess availability amount”, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) or (2) the “Base Rate” (which means the higher of the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, 3-month LIBOR plus 1.00% and 3.50%), plus the applicable margin, as described above. For the period from the effective date of the Third Amendment until the six month anniversary of the effective date of the Third Amendment, interest will bewas computed as described above with an applicable margin rate of 4.00%. If an event of default exists or continues under the Amended Credit Agreement, advances will bear interest as described above with an applicable margin rate of 4.25% plus 2.00%. Additionally, if an event of default exists under the Amended Credit Agreement, as defined therein, the lenders could accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding thereunder and exercise other rights and remedies. Interest is payable monthly.

31


     There were no borrowings outstanding under our U.S. or Canadian revolving credit facilities as of or during the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010. There were letters of credit outstanding under the U.S. revolving portion of the facility totaling $54.6$48.9 million, which reduced the available borrowing capacity as of March 31,June 30, 2010. We incurred fees related to our letters of credit foras of June 30, 2010 at 4.0% per annum. For the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010, which wasfees related to our letters of credit were calculated using a 360-day provision, at 4.1% per annum. The net excess availability under our borrowing base calculations for the U.S. and Canadian revolving facilities at March 31,June 30, 2010 was $104.4$148.5 million and $9.9$3.9 million respectively.
     We will incur unused commitment fees under the Amended Credit Agreement ranging from 0.50% to 1.00% based on the average daily balance of amounts outstanding. The unused commitment fees were calculated at 1.00% as of March 31,June 30, 2010.
Outstanding Debt and Commitments
     Our contractual commitments have not changed materially since December 31, 2009.
     We2009, however we have entered into agreements to purchase certain equipment for use in our business.business during the first six months of 2010 that are in excess of $1.0 million. The manufacture of this equipment requires lead-time and we generally are committed to accept this equipment at the time of delivery, unless arrangements have been made to cancel delivery in accordance with the

27


purchase agreement terms. We believe that our cash on hand, available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities and our operating cash flows should be sufficient to fund our firm purchase commitments.
     We expect to continue to acquire complementary companies and evaluate potential acquisition targets. We may use cash from operations, proceeds from future debt or equity offerings and borrowings under our amended revolving credit facility for this purpose.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Authoritative Guidance
     In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a standard regarding subsequent events that provides guidance as to when an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after a balance sheet date in its financial statements and the necessary disclosures related to these events. Specifically, the entity should recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including significant estimates used to prepare financial statements. Originally this standard required entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events had been evaluated and whether that date was the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. We adopted this accounting standard effective June 30, 2009 and applied its provisions prospectively. In February 2010, the FASB modified this standard to eliminate the requirement for an SEC entitypublicly-traded entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Therefore, we omitted the disclosure in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of March 31,June 30, 2010.
     In January 2010, the FASB issued “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (Topic 820)” which clarified the disclosure requirements of existing U.S. GAAP related to fair value measurements. This standard requires additional disclosures about recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements as follows: (1) for transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, as those terms are currently defined in existing authoritative literature, a reporting entity is required to disclose the amount of the movement between levels and an explanation for the movement; (2) for activity at Level 3, primarily fair value measurements based on unobservable inputs, a reporting entity is required to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, as opposed to presenting such transactions on a net basis; (3) in the event of a disaggregation, a reporting entity is required to provide fair value measurement disclosure for each class of assets and liabilities; and (4) a reporting entity is required to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements for items that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. These disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, for which disclosure becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard did not impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2010.

32


     On March 30, 2010, the President of the United States signed the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which is a reconciliation bill that amends the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that was signed by the President on March 23, 2010. We are currently awaiting guidance from the FASB and SEC related to the implications of this new legislation on accounting and disclosure requirements. We expect that this legislation will have an impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, but we cannot determine the extent of the impact at this time.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
     We have entered into operating lease arrangements for our light vehicle fleet, certain of our specialized equipment and for our office and field operating locations in the normal course of business. The terms of the facility leases range from monthly to ten years. The terms of the light vehicle leases range from three to four years. The terms of the specialized equipment leases range from monthly to seven years.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
     The demand, pricing and terms for oil and gas services provided by us are largely dependent upon the level of activity for the U.S. and Canadian gas industry. Industry conditions are influenced by numerous

28


factors over which we have no control, including, but not limited to: the supply of and demand for oil and gas; the level of prices, and expectations about future prices, of oil and gas; the cost of exploring for, developing, producing and delivering oil and gas; the expected rates of declining current production; the discovery rates of new oil and gas reserves; available pipeline and other transportation capacity; weather conditions; domestic and worldwide economic conditions; political instability in oil-producing countries; technical advances affecting energy consumption; the price and availability of alternative fuels; the ability of oil and gas producers to raise equity capital and debt financing; and merger and divestiture activity among oil and gas producers.
     The level of activity in the U.S. and Canadian oil and gas exploration and production industry is volatile. No assurance can be given that our expectations of trends in oil and gas production activities will reflect actual future activity levels or that demand for our services will be consistent with the general activity level of the industry. Any prolonged substantial reduction in oil and gas prices would likely affect oil and gas exploration and development efforts and therefore affect demand for our services. A material decline in oil and gas prices or U.S. and Canadian activity levels could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
     For the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010, approximately 7%5% of our revenues and approximately 4% of our total assets were denominated in Canadian dollars, our functional currency in Canada. As a result, a material decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively impact our revenues, cash flows and net income. Each one percentage point change in the value of the Canadian dollar would have impacted our revenues for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010 by approximately $0.2$0.4 million. We do not currently use hedges or forward contracts to offset this risk.
     Our Mexican operation uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency, and as a result, all transactions and translation gains and losses are recorded currently in the financial statements.statement of operations. The balance sheet amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at the end of the month and the income statement amounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the month. We estimate that a hypothetical one percentage point change in the value of the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar would have impacted our revenues for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010 by approximately $0.1$0.43 million. Currently, we conduct a portion of our business in Mexico in the local currency, the Mexican peso.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
     Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are defined in Rules 13a 15(e) and 15d 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed

33


by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31,June 30, 2010 at the reasonable assurance level.
     There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
     In the normal course of our business, we are a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations, products, employees and other matters, including warranty and product liability claims and occasional claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials, on the job injuries and fatalities as a result of our products or operations. Many of the claims filed against us relate to motor vehicle accidents which can result in the loss of life or serious bodily injury. Some of these claims relate to matters occurring prior to our acquisition of businesses. In certain cases, we are entitled to indemnification from the sellers of such businesses.
     Although we cannot know or predict with certainty the outcome of any claim or proceeding or the effect such outcomes may have on us, we believe that any liability resulting from the resolution of any of these matters, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
     We have historically incurred additional insurance premium related to a cost-sharing provision of our general liability insurance policy, and we cannot be certain that we will not incur additional costs until either existing claims become further developed or until the limitation periods expire for each respective policy year. Any such additional premiums should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
     Our business faces many risks. Any of the risks discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q or our other SEC filings, could have a material impact on our business, financial position or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. For a detailed discussion of the risk factors that should be understood by any investor contemplating investment in our stock, please refer to the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. There
Petróleos Mexicanos (“PEMEX”), our primary customer in Mexico, is experiencing budget limitations that may affect its ability to make timely payments to us under our existing contracts.
     The majority of our business in Mexico is performed for PEMEX pursuant to multi-year contracts. Recent regulatory and financial uncertainty regarding PEMEX’s drilling programs and development budget could adversely impact PEMEX’s ability to fulfill certain of its payment obligations under these contracts in a timely manner. A failure of PEMEX to make required payments to us would adversely affect our Mexico-based financial performance.
Mexico has been no material changeexperienced a period of increasing criminal violence and such activities could affect our Mexico-based operations and financial performance.
     Recently, Mexico has experienced a period of increasing criminal violence, primarily due to the risk factors set forthactivities of drug cartels and related organized crime. Although the Mexican government has implemented various security measures and strengthened its military and police forces, drug-related crime continues to exist in Mexico and has impacted our Annual Reportability to safely conduct business in certain areas of the country. Our inability to conduct business in certain areas of Mexico, and the safety risks in the areas of Mexico where we do conduct business, could have a negative impact on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.Mexico-based financial performance.
