On August 12, 2010, we entered intoFebruary 23, 2011, Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation, completed its merger agreement with Seawell Limited, or Seawell, pursuant to which we will merge(the “Merger”) with and into Wellco Sub Company (“Wellco”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Seawell. CompletionSeawell Limited (“Seawell”), with Wellco continuing as the surviving entity under the name Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc. The Merger was effected pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 10, 2010, by and among Allis-Chalmers, Seawell and Wellco, as amended by the Amendment Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2010, by and among Allis-Chalmers, Seawell and Wellco (as so amended, the “Merger Agreement”). Following the Merger, Seawell began operating under the name Archer Limited (“Archer” or “Parent”). As of the mergerMerger date, our assets and liabilities have been adjusted to their fair values (see Note 2) based on the purchase price resulting in changes to depreciation, amortization and interest in the successor period; therefore, the financial information for the period subsequent to the Merger is subjectnot fully comparable. The financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been separated with a black line to customary closing conditions, including, but not limitedpresent pre-merger activity as the “Predecessor” company and post-merger activity as the “Successor” company. “Predecessor” refers to (i) approvalthe operations of Allis-Chalmers prior to the consummation of the merger by our stockholders, (ii) applicable regulatory approvals, (iii) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-4 relatingMerger and “Successor” refers to the Seawell common stock to be issued in the merger and, (iv) the listingoperations of the Seawell common stock on the OSLO Stock Exchange.
Under terms of the merger, we agreed to conduct our business in the ordinary course while the merger is pending, and generally refrain, without the consent of Seawell, from entering into new lines of business, incurring new indebtedness, issuing new common stock or equity awards, or entering into new material contracts or commitments outside the normal course of business. We recorded approximately $0.6 million of costs relatedAllis-Chalmers subsequent to the pending merger during the three months ended September 30, 2010, which are included in general and administrative expense in the General Corporate category of our segment presentation (see Note 13). If and when the merger is approved or completed, certain contractual obligations of ours will or may be triggered or accelerated under the “change of control” provisions of such contractual arrangements. Examples of such arrangements include stock-based compensation awards, severance and retention agreements applicable to executive officers, directors and certain other employees and certain debt obligations suchMerger. The Merger date for accounting purposes has been designated as our senior notes.

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty. Accordingly, our accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, determining the following: allowance for doubtful accounts; recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles; useful lives used in depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation; income taxes and valuation allowances. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained or as our operating environment changes.

Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and payable, and debt. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable and payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Restricted cash relates to deposits at a financial institution to secure $3.8 million of outstanding letters of credit. We believe the fair values and the carrying value of our debt, excluding the senior notes, would not be materially different due to the instruments’ interest rates approximating market rates for similar borrowings at SeptemberJune 30, 2010.2011. Our senior notes, in the approximate aggregate amount of $430.2$446.6 million, trade “over the counter” in limited amounts and on an infrequent basis. Based on recent trades we estimateIn connection with the Merger, the recorded fair value of our senior notes to be approximately $432.9was increased by $19.3 million based on the traded value at September 30, 2010.Merger date. The price at which our senior notes trade is based on many factors such as the level of interest rates, the economic environment, the outlook for the oilfield services industry and the perceived credit risk.
ReclassificationRecent Accounting Pronouncements
Certain reclassifications have been madeWe consider all newly issued but not yet adopted accounting pronouncements applicable to our operations and the prior year’spreparation of our consolidated condensed financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB,statements. We do not believe that any issued authoritative guidance that eliminates the qualifying special purpose entity concept, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires enhanced disclosures about transfers of financial assets. The guidance also revises earlier guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity, requires a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable interest entity, changes when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable interest entity, and requires enhanced disclosures related to an enterprise’s involvement in variable interest entities. Weaccounting pronouncements not yet adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2010, which did notby us will have a material effectimpact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends earlier guidance addressing the accounting for contractual arrangements in which an entity provides multiple products or services (deliverables) to a customer. The amendments address the unit of accounting for arrangements involving multiple deliverables and how arrangement consideration should be allocatedNOTE 2 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Merger with Archer
Pursuant to the separate unitsMerger, each outstanding share of accounting, when applicable,common stock of Allis-Chalmers was converted into the right to receive either $4.25 cash or 1.15 fully paid and nonassessable Archer common shares. The fair value of total consideration was approximately $600.9 million with approximately 95% of Allis-Chalmers stockholders electing to receive 97.1 million Archer common shares in the Merger and the remainder receiving an aggregate of approximately $18 million in cash. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the assets at Merger (in thousands):

The fair value assigned to the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will bedebt was based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available. The amendments also require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of an arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects that this guidance may have on our financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance thatactively traded prices and changes the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. The changes also clarify existing disclosure requirements related to howother assets and liabilities should be grouped by classwere based on third-party valuations or other market based approaches. Goodwill of $267.4 million was recognized for this acquisition and valuation techniques used for recurring and nonrecurringwas calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value measurements.

In February 2010, the FASB amended guidance on subsequent events to alleviate potential conflicts between FASB guidance and SEC requirements. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and we adopted these new requirements in the first quarterAcquisition of 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
NOTE 2– ACQUISITIONAWC
On July 12, 2010, we acquired American Well Control, Inc., or AWC, for a total consideration of approximately $21.5$19.2 million, which included approximately $19.5$17.2 million in cash and 1.0 million shares of our common stock. AWC is a leading manufacturer of premium high-pressure valves used in hydraulic fracturing in the unconventional gas shale plays. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price and related acquisition costs to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition (in thousands):

AWC’s historical property and equipment values were increased by approximately $27,000 based on third-party valuations. Goodwill of $5.5$5.7 million was recognized for this acquisition and was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired. It includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from the combined operations and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as assembled workforce. Other intangible assets included approximately $5.6 million assigned to customer lists, $400,000 to trade name and $55,000 to non-competes. None of the intangibles areGoodwill is not tax deductible. The amortizable intangibles have a weighted-average useful life of 9.9 years. We do not expect any material differences from the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. AWC’s financial results since the acquisition are included in our Rental Services segment.
NOTE 3 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Under the Merger Agreement, holders of our outstanding stock options, whether or not then exercisable or vested, elected to receive, at the effective time of the Merger, either cash or fully exercisable and vested stock options to purchase Archer common shares. In addition, all restrictions on time-lapse and performance-based restricted stock awards were deemed to have lapsed and each restricted share was deemed to be an unrestricted share of our common stock. Our Incentive Stock Plans were terminated in connection with the Merger. Our net loss for the two months ended February 28, 2011 includes approximately $6.1 million of compensation costs related to share-based payments with approximately $5.4 million of this amount relating to the acceleration of stock based compensation expense associated with the Merger.
We recognize all share-based payments to employees and directors in the financial statements based on their grant-date fair values. We utilize the Black-Scholes model to determine fair value, which incorporates assumptions to value stock-based awards. The dividend yield on our common stock is assumed to be zero as we have historically not paid dividends on our common stock and have no current plans to do so in the future. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free interest rate is the related United States Treasury yield curve for periods within the expected term of the option at the time of grant. We estimate forfeiture rates based on our historical experience.
The following summarizes the Black-Scholes model assumptions used for the options granted in the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2010 and 2009 (no options were granted induring the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2010 and 2009)2011):

Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 includes approximately $4.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of compensation costs related to share-based payments. As of September 30, 2010, there was $2.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option grants.

We determine the fair value of RSAs based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Compensation cost for RSAs is primarily recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period and is net of forfeitures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we granted 1,237,750 performance-based RSAs to executive officers and key employees that vest upon meeting certain financial performance conditions over the next five years. In connection with performance-based RSAs, compensation cost is based on the estimated number of shares expected to be issued. As of September 30, 2010, there was $7.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSAs. We expect approximately $1.1 million to be recognized over the remainder of 2010 and approximately $2.3 million, $1.3 million, $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $88,000 to be recognized during the years ended 2011 through 2015, respectively.

NOTE 5— GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill and other intangible assets with infinite lives are not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized either on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life or on a basis that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are realized. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets listed on the balance sheet totaled $46.2was $267.4 million and $40.6$46.3 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20102011 and December 31, 2009,2010, respectively.

Following the Merger, Seawell and its subsidiaries, including us, have begun operating under the name Archer. As a result, it was determined that there was no material remaining value associated with the Allis-Chalmers tradename and the results for the four months ended June 30, 2011 includes an intangible asset impairment charge of $5.1 million. At SeptemberJune 30, 2010,2011, intangible assets totaled $35.1$94.9 million, net of $16.4$5.8 million of accumulated amortization.

NOTE 6- INCOME TAXES
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we estimate the full-year effective tax rate from continuing operations and apply this rate to our year-to-date income from continuing operations. In addition, we separately calculate the tax impact of unusual items, if any. The consolidated effective tax rate for the two months ended February 28, 2011, three and four months ended June 30, 2011 was (9.9)%, 63.6% and 246.0%, respectively, compared to 23.4% and 25.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The fluctuations in the tax rates are principally the result of valuation allowances on losses generated in the United States and variances in withholding taxes from foreign operations as a percentage of pretax income (loss).

NOTE 10 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
In conjunction with the Merger, we reviewed the presentation of our operating segments. Based on this review, we determined that our operational performance would be segmented and reviewed by the Drilling Services and Well Services segments. The split of our organization and aggregation of our business into two segments was based on differences in management structure and reporting, economic characteristics, customer base, asset class and contract structure. The Drilling Services segment includes our international and domestic drilling, directional drilling, underbalanced drilling, tubular services and rental services operations. The Well Services segment includes our production services and valve manufacturing operations. As a result, we realigned our financial reporting segments and now report the Drilling Services and Well Services operations as separate, distinct reporting segments. Our historical segment data previously reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and as of December 31, 2010 have been restated to conform to the new presentation.
All of our segments provide services to the energy industry. Indirect general and administrative expenses are allocated to each segment based on estimated use. The revenues, operating income (loss), depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures and assets of each of the reporting segments are reported below (in thousands):

NOTE 1411 — LEGAL MATTERS
Shortly following the announcement of the merger agreement, ten putative stockholder class-action petitions and compliants were filed against various combinations of us, members of our board of directors, Seawell, and Wellco. Seven of the lawsuits were filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, which we refer to as the Texas Actions, and three lawsuits were filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, which we refer to as the Delaware Actions. These lawsuits challenge the proposed merger and generally allege, among other things, that our directors have breached their fiduciary duties owed to our public stockholders by approving the proposed merger and failing to take steps to maximize our value to our public stockholders, that we, Seawell, and Wellco aided and abetted such breaches of fiduciary duties, and that the merger agreement unreasonably dissuades potential suitors from making competing offers and restricts us from considering competing offers. The lawsuits generally seek, among other things, compensatory damages, attorneys’ and experts’ fees, declaratory and injunctive relief concerning the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, and injunctive relief prohibiting the defendants from consummating the merger.
Various plaintiffs in the Texas Actions filed competing motions to consolidate the suits, to appoint their counsel as interim class counsel and to compel expedited discovery. On September 16, 2010, the defendants filed joint motions to stay the Texas Actions in favor of a first-filed Delaware lawsuit, and opposing the motions for expedited discovery. There is no hearing date set for these motions.
On September 21, 2010, the plaintiffs in the Delaware Actions wrote the court seeking consolidation of the Delaware cases. Defendants did not oppose consolidation and took no position regarding lead plaintiff. On September 29, 2010, the Delaware court granted the motion to consolidate. Previously, on September 16, 2010, Seawell and Wellco answered the first-filed Girard Complaint, which is the operative complaint post-consolidation. We answered the consolidated complaint on October 4, 2010.
We believe all of these lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.
In addition, we are named from time to time in legal proceedings related to our activities prior to our bankruptcy in 1988. However, we believe that we were discharged from liability for all such claims in the bankruptcy and believe the likelihood of a material loss relating to any such legal proceeding is remote.
We are also involved in litigation or proceedings that have arisen in our ordinary business activities. We insure against these risks to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent insurance is available, but no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of that insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings. Many of these insurance policies contain deductibles or self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent and for which we are responsible for payment. If there is a claim, dispute or pending litigation in which we believe a negative outcome is probable and a loss by the Company can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability for the expected loss but at this time any such expected loss are immaterial to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition we have certain claims, disputes and pending litigation in which we do not believe a negative outcome is probable or for which the loss cannot be reasonably estimated.
Shortly following the announcement of the merger agreement with Seawell (now Archer) in August 2010, ten putative stockholder class-action petitions and complaints were filed against various combinations of us, members of our board of directors and the Archer parties to the merger agreement. Seven of the lawsuits were filed in Texas and three lawsuits were filed in Delaware. These lawsuits had challenged the proposed merger and generally allege, among other legal proceedingsthings, that our directors have breached their fiduciary duties owed to our public stockholders by approving the merger and failing to take steps to maximize our value to our public stockholders. The lawsuits generally sought, among other things, compensatory damages, attorneys’ and experts’ fees, declaratory and injunctive relief concerning the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, and injunctive relief prohibiting the defendants from consummating the merger. In February 2011, the plaintiffs’ request for an injunction was denied by the Delaware court and the merger closed on February 23, 2011. In July 2011, plaintiffs and defendants jointly filed a stipulation and order for the dismissal of all claims as moot with the plaintiffs reserving only their application for attorney’s fees and expenses, which the Company and other defendants oppose. The proposed stipulation and order is pending before the court.
The case of Nexen Petroleum U.S.A., Inc. et al v. Allis-Chalmers Rental Services, LLC, Cameron, Hydril and Tri-City Pipe & Machine, Cause No. 88810 in the ordinary course15th Judicial District, State of business.Louisiana is presently scheduled for trial in September 2011. The legal proceedings are at different stages; however, we believecase involves a blow out on a well operated by Nexen in Vermilion Parish. During drilling operations, Nexen lost control

NOTE 11 — LEGAL MATTERS (Continued)
of the well, activated and closed ‘blow out preventers’ rented from Allis-Chalmers Rental Services, LLC (ACRS) thereby sealing the well. Nexen then re-opened the blow out preventers to attempt an unsuccessful dynamic kill. Nexen alleges that it then again attempted to reseal the well using the blow out preventers but was unable to obtain a complete seal. The well allegedly then flowed uncontrolled for up to a day causing damage to the rig and other equipment, and the hole. The blow out preventers were manufactured by Cameron and Hydril and some of the components of the Cameron equipment were machined by Tri-City. Nexen alleges that the likelihoodblow out preventers failed due to the fault of material loss relatingthe defendants. ACRS contends that Nexen actions in specifying the equipment for the well, designing the well, and operating the well including its acts and omissions for the well control event caused any failure of the equipment rented to Nexen by ACRS. There is conflicting evidence and expert testimony affecting several aspects of this case. It is impossible to predict the outcome with any suchdegree of certainty. ACRS and its insurers are treating this case as highly defensible and continue to vigorously contest it.
NOTE 12 — TRANSACTIONS WITH PARENT
In connection with the Merger, we received approximately $71.4 million in funding from our Parent. The proceeds were mainly used to pay off debt, debt related interest and merger related expenses. The merger related expenses were primarily for legal proceedingand professional fees and change of control provisions. The three and four months ended June 30, 2011 includes Parent allocations of interest charges of approximately $969,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, and other administrative charges of approximately $1.8 million. Parent administrative charges are allocated proportional to the average EBIT and revenue contribution. The allocation method used is remote.considered reasonable by management and our estimated costs that would have been incurred on a stand alone basis would not have been materially different. The amount due to Parent was approximately $74.4 million at June 30, 2011 and balance is classified as a long-term liability. The interest rate used for allocation of interest charges was 5.3% as of June 30, 2011.
NOTE 13 — SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In July 2011, we purchased $125.0 million aggregate principal of our 9.0% senior notes for a total consideration of $1,023 per $1,000 principal amount. In connection with this purchase we have drawn $130.0 million on our Parent’s $550 million Multicurrency Term and Revolving Facility. The $550 million facility has a final maturity date of November 11, 2015 and interest rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin.

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 our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the general condition of the oil and natural gas drilling industry, demand for our oil and natural gas service and rental products, and competition. For more information on forward-looking statements please refer to the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 39.
Overview of Our Business
We are a multi-faceted oilfield service company that provides services and equipment to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, throughout the United States including Texas, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Colorado, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and internationally primarily in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and Mexico. We currently operate in threetwo sectors of the oil and natural gas service industry: Oilfield Services;Well Services and Drilling and Completion and Rental Services.
We derive operating revenues from rates per day and rates per job that we charge for the labor and equipment required to provide a service and rates per day for equipment and tools that we rent to our customers. The price we charge for our services depends upon several factors, including the level of oil and natural gas drilling activity and the competitive environment in the particular geographic regions in which we operate. Contracts are awarded based on price, quality of service and equipment and the general reputation and experience of our personnel. The demand for drilling services has historically been volatile and is affected by the capital expenditures of oil and natural gas exploration and development companies, which can fluctuate based upon the prices of oil and natural gas, or the expectation for the prices of oil and natural gas.
Our operating costs do not fluctuate in direct proportion to changes in revenues. Our operating expenses consist principally of our labor costs and benefits, equipment rentals, maintenance and repairs of our equipment, depreciation, insurance and fuel. Because many of our costs are fixed, our operating income as a percentage of revenues is generally affected by our level of revenues.
Merger Agreement with SeawellArcher
On August 12, 2010,February 23, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Seawell Limited, or Seawell, pursuant to which we will mergemerged with and into Wellco Sub Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Seawell,Archer, and each share of our common stock will bewas converted into the right to receive either 1.15 SeawellArcher common shares subject to adjustment to 1.20 Seawell common shares under certain circumstances, or $4.25 in cash. Completion ofIn connection with the merger is subjectMerger, Wellco Sub Company changed its name to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) approval of the merger by our stockholders, (ii) applicable regulatory approvals, (iii) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-4 relating to the Seawell common stock to be issued in the merger, and (iv) the listing of the Seawell common stock on the OSLO Stock Exchange.Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, we agreed to conduct our business in the ordinary course while the merger is pending, and to generally refrain, without the consent of Seawell, from entering into new lines of business, incurring new indebtedness, issuing new common stock or equity awards, or entering into new material contracts or commitments outside the normal course of business. We recorded approximately $0.6$14.7 million, $1.6 million and $2.5 million of costs related to the merger during the threetwo months ended SeptemberFebruary 28, 2011 and the three and four months ended June 30, 2010,2011, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense on our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. If and whenApproval of the merger is approved or completed,resulted in certain of our contractual obligations of ours will or may bebeing triggered or accelerated under the “change of control” provisions of such contractual arrangements. Examples of such arrangements include stock-based compensation awards, severance and retirement plan agreements applicable to executive officers, directors and certain employees and certain other debt obligations, including our senior notes.

Our Industry
The oilfield services industry is highly cyclical. Demand for our products and services is substantially dependent upon activity levels in the oil and natural gas industry, particularly our customers’ willingness to spend capital on the exploration for and development of oil and natural gas reserves. The most critical factor in assessing the outlook for the industry is the worldwide supply and demand for oil and the domestic supply and demand for natural gas. Our customers’ spending plans are generally based on their outlook for near-term and long-term commodity prices. As a result, demand for our products and services are highly sensitive to current and expected oil and natural gas prices. Other factors that can affect our business and financial results include the general global economic environment and regulatory changes in the United States and internationally.
Company Outlook
Throughout the first half of 2009, we saw a significant decline in the global economy which led to reduced activity in the energy sector. This reduced activity in the energy sector resulted in lower demand for our services and we incurred significant losses. Since the second quarter of 2009, we have experienced quarter over quarter improvement in both our total revenues and total operating income which has resulted in reduced net losses.
On April 20, 2010, a fire and explosion occurred onboard the semisubmersible drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, which was owned by Transocean Ltd. and under contract to a subsidiary of BP plc. The accident resulted in the loss of life and a significant oil spill. In response to this incident, the Minerals Management Service of the U.S. Department of Interior, or the MMS, issued a notice on May 30, 2010 implementing a six-month moratorium on certain drilling activities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The notice also stated that the MMS would not consider drilling permits for new wells and related activities for specified water depths during the six-month moratorium period. In addition, entities in the process of drilling wells covered by the moratorium were required to halt drilling and take steps to secure such wells. On June 22, 2010, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting the enforcement of the moratorium, which the Department of the Interior appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. On July 8, 2010, the court of appeals denied the government’s request that the district court’s order be stayed while the appeal was pending.
On July 12, 2010, the Secretary of the Department of the Interior directed the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, or the BOEM (successor to the MMS), to issue a revised suspension of drilling activities for specified drilling configurations and technologies, rather than a moratorium based on water depths. The revised suspension is to last until November 30, 2010 or such earlier date as the U.S. Secretary of the Interior determines that the suspended operations can proceed safely. On August 16, 2010, the BOEM announced that it would restrict the use of certain categorical exclusions to environmental regulations for deepwater exploration while it analyzes the environmental impact of deepwater operations. On September 30, 2010, the BOEM announced two new rules, the Drilling Safety Rule and the Workplace Safety Rule, which are intended to strengthen requirements for safety equipment, well control systems and blowout prevention practices on offshore oil and natural gas operations, and to improve workplace safety by reducing the risk of human error. On October 12, 2010, the moratorium was lifted, and deepwater oil and natural gas drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico has been allowed to resume, provided that operators certify compliance with all existing rules and requirements, including those that recently went into effect, and demonstrate the availability of adequate blowout containment resources.
Although the moratorium on oil and natural gas drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico has been lifted, the BOEM is expected to continue to issue new guidelines and may take other steps that could increase the costs of exploration and production, reduce the area of operations and result in permitting delays. These may include new or additional bonding and safety requirements, and other requirements regarding certification of equipment. The enactment of stricter restrictions on offshore drilling or further regulation of offshore drilling or contracting services operations could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that our revenues and operating income for all of our segments for the fourth quarter of 2010 will be similar to our revenues and operating income for the third quarter of 2010. Our Oilfield Services segment is heavily dependent on oil and natural gas activity in the U.S. and a good indicator of that activity is the U.S. rig count. The Baker Hughes rig count in the U.S. for the first forty-three weeks of 2010 increased to an average of 1,514 compared to an average of 1,079 for the first forty-three weeks of 2009. This favorable trend in rig count is resulting in improved demand and pricing for our Oilfield Services segment. Our revenues and operating income in our Oilfield Services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 exceed our revenues and operating income for that segment for the year ended December 31, 2009. Although the market for our drilling services in Brazil in 2010 has been slowed and remains price sensitive, we anticipate our Drilling and Completion segment will exceed 2009 results for both revenue and operating income as drilling activity in Argentina has improved with all of our available rigs in Argentina and Bolivia being utilized. However, we have two 1600 horsepower land drilling rigs under construction in the U.S. which we expect will be completed and delivered during the fourth quarter of 2010. Currently, we have no firm commitments of work for these two drilling rigs and we expect to incur start-up costs in the fourth quarter of 2010 as we get one or more of the rigs ready to operate in 2011. We have two additional rigs, which were substantially completed in

28


2009, at a different manufacturer’s facility due to design or engineering problems encountered. We are currently in discussions with the manufacturer to resolve these issues and at this time we cannot be assured that these rigs will not require significant expenditures to bring them to satisfactory operational standards or that we will not incur a loss upon settlement. Our Rental Services segment has historically been very dependent on drilling activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The Baker Hughes average rig count in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico for the first forty-three weeks of 2010 decreased to 32 rigs compared to an average of 44 rigs for the first forty-three weeks of 2009. As of October 15, 2010, the Baker Hughes rig count in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico was 21 as a result of the effects of the oil spill in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Due to the decline in drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico since the hurricanes in 2007, we had already begun to shift our focus to serving the onshore unconventional natural gas markets and redeploying rental equipment to the international markets such as Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. This strategy has partially offset the impact of decreased activity in the Gulf of Mexico on our Rental Services segment, and we believe that revenues and operating income for the year ended December 31, 2010 for our Rental Services segment will be improved compared to 2009 levels.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are less than the selling, general and administrative expenses in the comparable period in the prior year, because of $4.1 million in bad debt expense included for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $43,000 in bad debt expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2010 to be higher than the selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2009 and expect selling, general and administrative expenses to be similar between the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The expected increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2010 is due to costs related to our pending merger and because the fourth quarter of 2009 included a reversal of $1.8 million of bad debt expense.
Our net interest expense is dependent upon our level of debt and cash on hand, which are principally dependent on acquisitions we complete, our capital expenditures and our cash flows from operations. We expect our interest expense for 2010 to be below 2009 levels, but we do anticipate interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2010 to be higher than the fourth quarter of 2009 due to increased borrowings. We do not anticipate having the ability to record a gain on debt extinguishment in 2010 as our senior notes are trading close to or in excess of face value due to the pending merger.
As we incur more non-deductible merger related expenses, we anticipate our effective tax rate applied to our expected pre-tax income for the fourth quarter of 2010 to be greater than the effective tax rate of our tax benefit from losses generated in the first half of 2010. The effective tax rate is affected by the profitability and effective income tax rate of our operations in foreign jurisdictions which are effected by withholding taxes in excess of statutory income tax rates.
Our operating income is principally dependent on our level of revenues and the pricing environment of our services. In addition, demand for our services is dependent upon our customers’ capital spending plans, which are largely driven by current commodity prices and their expectations of future commodity prices.
Although 2010 has been a challenging year for our operations, increased rig count has increased the utilization and pricing for our equipment and services. We believe our cost cuts in 2009, our strategy of international growth, our commitment to offer new equipment and technology to our customers and our focus on the U.S. land shale plays will continue to result in improvements to our operating results for the remainder of 2010.
Results of Operations
In July 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of American Well Control, Inc., or AWC, which is reported as part of our RentalWell Services segment. We consolidated the results of this transaction from the date it was effective.
In connection with the Merger with Archer, our assets and liabilities have been adjusted to their fair values based on the purchase price resulting in changes to depreciation, amortization and interest in the successor period.
The foregoing acquisition affectsbusiness combinations affect the comparability from period to period of our historical results, and our historical results may not be indicative of our future results.

OnIn June 29, 2009, we closed on a tender offer in which we purchased approximately $30.6 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.0% senior notes for a total consideration of $650 per $1,000 principal amount. In connection with the Merger and based on actively traded prices of our senior notes, we increased the fair value of the 9.0% senior notes to $1,022 per $1,000 principal amount. In May 2011, pursuant to the terms of change of control provisions in the indentures governing the senior notes and as a result of the Merger, holders had the right to require us to purchase, all or a portion of such holders’ notes. We purchased $1.8 million aggregate principal of our 9.0% senior notes for a total consideration of $1,010 per $1,000 principal amount.
In January 2007, we closed on a private offering, to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, of $250.0 million principal amount of 8.5% senior notes due 2017. The proceeds of the senior notes offering, together with a portion of the proceeds of our concurrent common stock offering, were used to repay the debt outstanding under our $300.0 million bridge loan facility which we incurred to finance our acquisition of substantially all the assets of Oil & Gas Rental Services, Inc. On June 29, 2009, we closed on a tender offer in which we purchased $44.2 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.5% senior notes for a total consideration of $600 per $1,000 principal amount.

Merger and based on actively traded prices of our senior notes, we increased the fair value of the 8.5% senior notes to $1,070 per $1,000 principal amount. In May 2011, pursuant to the terms of change of control provisions in the indentures governing the senior notes and as a result of the Merger, we purchased $92,000 aggregate principal of our 8.5% senior notes for a total consideration of $1,010 per $1,000 principal amount.

On April 9, 2009, we amended our revolving credit agreement to modify the leverage and interest coverage ratio covenants. Effective December 31, 2009, we again amended the leverage and interest coverage ratio covenants of the revolving credit agreement. This amendment relaxed the required financial ratios for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and for each of the quarters in 2010. Our obligations under the amended and restated credit agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets located in the U.S.United States. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.2010. As of September 30,December 31, 2010, we had outstanding borrowing of $36.5 million of borrowings outstanding and $4.0$4.1 million in outstanding letters of credit under our revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2009, the only usage of our revolving credit facility consisted of $4.2 million in outstanding letters of credit.

The weighted-average interest rate was 7.9%7.8% at September 30,December 31, 2010. The revolving line of credit was repaid and terminated in connection with the Merger.
As part of our acquisition of DLS, we assumed various bank loans with floating interest rates based on LIBOR plus a margin and terms ranging from two2 to five5 years. The weighted-averageweighted average interest rate on these loans was 2.0% and 2.1% as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.2010.

On February 15, 2008, through our DLS subsidiary in Argentina, we entered into a $25.0 million import finance facility with a bank. Borrowings under this facility were used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the new drilling and service rigs ordered for our Drilling and CompletionServices segment. The loan is repayable over four years in equal semi-annual installments beginning one year after each disbursement with the final principal payment due not later than March 15, 2013. The import finance facility is unsecured and contains customary events of default and financial covenants and limits DLS’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, make capital expenditures, create liens and sell assets. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of SeptemberJune 30, 20102011 and December 31, 2009.2010. The bank loan rates are based on LIBOR plus a margin.

As part of our acquisition of BCH Ltd, or BCH, we assumed a $23.6 million term loan credit facility with a bank. The BCH credit agreement iswas dated June 2007 and containscontained customary events of default and financial covenants which arewere based on BCH’s stand-alone financial statements. The facility was repayable in quarterly principal installments plus interest and was to mature in August 2012. Obligations under the facility arewere secured by substantially all of the BCH assets. BCH was in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2009. The bank has waived certain financial ratio covenants for the September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010 measurement periods. Asperiod and we cannot be certain that BCH would attain compliance with the covenants within one year, we have classified the entire outstanding balance of the loan in the current portion of long-term debt. The facility is repayable in quarterly principal installments plus interest with the final payment due not later than August 2012. The interest rates under this credit facility arewere based on LIBOR plus a margin. At September 30, 2010margin and the interest rate was 3.5% at December 31, 2009, the2010.

The outstanding amount under the term loan facility as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $3.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively
In 2010, we obtained insurance premium financings in the aggregate amount of $2.6$2.9 million with a fixed weighted-average interest rate of 4.8%. Under terms of the agreements, amounts outstanding are paid over an eight and 11 month repayment schedules. The outstanding balance of these notes was approximately $1.5 million at September 30, 2010. In 2009, we obtained insurance premium financings in the aggregate amount of $3.2 million with a fixed weighted-average interest rate of 4.8%. Under terms of the agreements, amounts outstanding are paid over 10 and 11 month repayment schedules. The outstanding balance of these notes was approximately $0 and $997,000$1.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20102011 and December 31, 2009,2010, respectively.

Recent Events
In August 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a definitive merger agreement with Seawell in a transaction valued at approximately $890.0 million. The combined company would operate its Drilling and Well Services offerings with a global footprint covering more than 30 of the world’s key oil and natural gas regions, including the U.S., Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, North Sea, Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia/Pacific. The combined Drilling Services offering would include platform drilling, land contract drilling, modular rigs, maintenance of drilling systems, directional drilling technology, underbalanced drilling, facility engineering services, rig and riser inspections and oilfield rentals. The Well Services offering would include electrical and mechanical wireline services, production logging services, coil tubing services, ultrasonic investigation logging services, down-hole cameras and advanced well fishing services.
The merger is subject to the approval of our stockholders as well as other customary conditions. We anticipate that the transaction will close in early 2011.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off balance sheet arrangements, other than normal operating leases and employee contracts, that have or are likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We have $3.8 million of outstanding letters of credit that are secured by deposits at a financial institution. We do not guarantee obligations of any unconsolidated entities. At September 30, 2010 we had a $90.0 million revolving line of credit with a maturity of April 2012. At September 30, 2010, we had $36.5 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility and we had $4.0 million in outstanding letters of credit.

38


Capital Resources
Exclusive of any acquisitions, we currently expect our capital spending for the remainder of 2010 to be approximately $20.0 million depending upon the market demand we experience, our operating performance during the remainder of the year and expenditures that may be associated with potential new contracts. These amounts are net of equipment deposits paid through September 30, 2010. This amount includes budgeted but unidentified expenditures that may be required to enhance or extend the life of existing assets. We believe that our cash generated from operations, cash on hand and cash available under our credit facilities will provide sufficient funds for our identified projects and to service our debt. Our ability to obtain capital for opportunistic acquisitions or additional projects to implement our growth strategy over the longer term will depend upon our future operating performance and financial condition, which will be dependent upon the prevailing conditions in our industry and the global market, including the availability of equity and debt financing, many of which are beyond our control. The pending merger with Seawell, if completed, would provide an additional source of capital.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk.
Fluctuations in the general level of interest rates on our current and future fixed and variable rate debt obligations expose us to market risk. We are vulnerable to significant fluctuations in interest rates affecting our adjustable rate debt, and any future refinancing of our fixed rate debt and our future debt. We have approximately $64.2 million of adjustable rate debt with a weighted-average interest rate of 6.2% at September 30, 2010.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk.
We have designated the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for our operations in international locations since we contract with customers, purchase equipment and finance capital using the U.S. dollar. Local currency transaction gains and losses, arising from remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in local currency, are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the line item labeled Other income (expense).
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)15d — 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that, as of Septemberfor the period ending June 30, 2010,2011, our disclosure controls and procedures arewere not effective atto provide a reasonable assurance levelregarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in ensuringaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the information requiredCompany’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting for the period ending June 30, 2011, because of a material weakness relating to accounting for income taxes. Specifically, we did not maintain effective controls over the identification and proper accounting treatment of the calculation and valuation of deferred tax assets. This material weakness resulted in a material misstatement of our income tax expense, deferred tax asset, net loss and accumulated deficit with accompanying notes and the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K/A. Additionally, this deficiency could result in misstatements of the aforementioned accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements that would not be disclosed by us in reports filedprevented or submitteddetected.
Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness
Management has developed a plan to remediate the material weakness noted above. Controls over the preparation of tax calculations and associated deferred tax balances have been enhanced through the implementation of external advisory services from an independent source, under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarizedoversight of management. In the third quarter the Company has hired a dedicated employee with tax expertise to oversee this area, along with enhanced procedural and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s, or SEC’s, rules and forms.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.review controls.
(b) ChangeChanges in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There haveExcept as described above, there were not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report 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.
Shortly following the announcement of the merger agreement, ten putative stockholder class-action petitions and compliants were filed against various combinations of us, members of our board of directors, Seawell, and Wellco. Seven of the lawsuits were filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, which we refer to as the Texas Actions, and three lawsuits were filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, which we refer to as the Delaware Actions. These lawsuits challenge the proposed merger and generally allege, among other things, that our directors have breached their fiduciary duties owed to our public stockholders by approving the proposed merger and failing to take steps to maximize our value to our public stockholders, that we, Seawell, and Wellco aided and abetted such breaches of fiduciary duties, and that the merger agreement unreasonably dissuades potential suitors from making competing offers and restricts us from considering competing offers. The lawsuits generally seek, among other things, compensatory damages, attorneys’ and experts’ fees, declaratory and injunctive relief concerning the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, and injunctive relief prohibiting the defendants from consummating the merger.
Various plaintiffs in the Texas Actions filed competing motions to consolidate the suits, to appoint their counsel as interim class counsel and to compel expedited discovery. On September 16, 2010, the defendants filed joint motions to stay the Texas Actions in favor of a first-filed Delaware lawsuit, and opposing the motions for expedited discovery. There is no hearing date set for these motions.
On September 21, 2010, the plaintiffs in the Delaware Actions wrote the court seeking consolidation of the Delaware cases. Defendants did not oppose consolidation and took no position regarding lead plaintiff. On September 29, 2010, the Delaware court granted the motion to consolidate. Previously, on September 16, 2010, Seawell and Wellco answered the first-filed Girard Complaint, which is the operative complaint post-consolidation. We answered the consolidated complaint on October 4, 2010.
We believe all of these lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Except as set forth in the following there have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The recent Deepwater Horizon incident in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and its consequences, including the potential enactment of further restrictions or regulations on offshore drilling, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
On April 20, 2010, a fire and explosion occurred onboard the semisubmersible drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, which was owned by Transocean Ltd. and under contract to a subsidiary of BP plc. The accident resulted in the loss of life and a significant oil spill. In response to this incident, the Minerals Management Service of the U.S. Department of Interior, or the MMS, issued a notice on May 30, 2010 implementing a six-month moratorium on certain drilling activities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The notice also stated that the MMS would not consider drilling permits for new wells and related activities for specified water depths during the six-month moratorium period. In addition entities in the process of drilling wells covered by the moratorium were required to halt drilling and take steps to secure the well. On June 22, 2010, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting the enforcement of the moratorium, which the Department of the Interior appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. On July 8, 2010, the court of appeals denied the government’s request that the district court’s order be stayed while the appeal is pending.
On July 12, 2010, the Secretary of the Department of the Interior directed the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, or the BOEM (successor to the MMS), to issue a revised suspension of drilling activities for specified drilling configurations and technologies, rather than a moratorium based on water depths. The revised suspension is to last until November 30, 2010 or such earlier date as the U.S. Secretary of the Interior determines that the suspended operations can proceed safely. On August 16, 2010, the BOEM announced that it would restrict the use of certain categorical exclusions to environmental regulations for deepwater exploration while it analyzes the environmental impact of deepwater operations. On September 30, 2010, the BOEM announced two new rules, the Drilling Safety Rule and the Workplace Safety Rule, which are intended to strengthen requirements for safety equipment, well control systems and blowout prevention practices on offshore oil and natural gas operations, and to improve workplace safety by reducing the risk of human error. On October 12, 2010, the moratorium was lifted, and deepwater oil and natural gas drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico has been allowed to resume, provided that operators certify compliance with all existing rules and requirements, including those that recently went into effect, and demonstrate the availability of adequate blowout containment resources.

41


Our business has historically been very dependent on drilling activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Although the moratorium on oil and natural gas drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico has been lifted, the BOEM is expected to continue to issue new guidelines and may take other steps that could increase the costs of exploration and production, reduce the area of operations and result in permitting delays. These may include new or additional bonding and safety requirements and other requirements regarding certification of equipment. The enactment of stricter restrictions on offshore drilling or further regulation of offshore drilling or contracting services operations could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to claims for personal injury and property damage, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We provide services and equipment to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies. These operations are subject to inherent hazards that can cause personal injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, equipment, the environment and marine life, and suspension of operations. Substantially all of our Drilling and Completion operations are subject to hazards that are customary for oil and natural gas drilling operations, including blowouts, reservoir damage, loss of well control, cratering, oil and gas well fires and explosions, natural disasters, pollution and mechanical failure. Any of these risks could result in damage to or destruction of drilling equipment, personal injury and property damage, suspension of operations or environmental damage.
We operate with our customers through Master Service Agreements, or MSAs. We endeavor to allocate potential liabilities and risks between the parties in the MSAs. Generally, our MSAs contain indemnification to us for liability for pollution or environmental claims arising from subsurface conditions or resulting from the drilling activities of our customers or their operators. We may have liability in such cases if we are grossly negligent or commit willful acts. In addition, any liability may be capped for either party to an MSA. Generally, our customers also agree to indemnify us against claims arising from their employees’ personal injury or death, unless resulting from our gross negligence or willful misconduct. Similarly, we agree to indemnify our customers for liabilities arising from personal injury or death of any of our employees, unless resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the customer. In addition, our customers agree to indemnify us for loss or destruction of customer-owned property or equipment, and in turn, we agree to indemnify our customers for loss or destruction of property or equipment we own. However, for equipment we rent to our customers, our contracts generally provide that the customer is responsible for the replacement of any damaged or lost equipment in their care. Losses due to catastrophic events, such as blowouts, are generally the responsibility of the customer. However, despite this general allocation of risk, we might not succeed in enforcing such contractual allocation or we might incur an unforeseen liability falling outside the scope of such allocation.
Litigation arising from an accident at a location where our products or services are used or provided may cause us to be named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting potentially large claims. We maintain customary insurance to protect our business against these potential losses. Our general liability policy would cover claims where we agreed to indemnify the customer, subject to any typical exclusions that may exist under the policy. However, we could become subject to material uninsured liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The limits and deductibles for our general liability policy are as follows:
General Aggregate $2,000,000;
Products/Completed Operations Aggregate $2,000,000;
Occurrence Limit $1,000,000;
Personal/Advertising Injury Limit $1,000,000;
Deductible (Bodily Injury & Property Damage Combined) Per Claim $100,000.
In addition, our general liability policy is scheduled under a $30.0 million umbrella/excess liability policy (subject to the policy’s terms, conditions and exclusions). We also have workers compensation insurance coverage up to $1,000,000.
We have a contractors pollution liability policy of $10.0 million which has a $200,000 deductible, and all environmental claims would be subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of that policy. Our umbrella policy does not apply to the contractors pollution liability policy.
There is no assurance that such insurance or indemnification agreements will adequately protect us against liability from all of the consequences of the hazards and risks described above. The occurrence of an event not fully insured or for which we are not indemnified against, or the failure of a customer or insurer to meet its indemnification or insurance obligations, could result in substantial losses. In addition, there can be no assurance that insurance will continue to be available to cover any or all of these risks, or, even if available, that insurance premiums or other costs will not rise significantly in the future so as to make the cost of such insurance prohibitive.

Risks Related to the Merger
Our ability to complete the merger is subject to stockholder approval, certain closing conditions and the receipt of consents and approvals from government entities which may impose conditions that could adversely affect us or cause the merger to be abandoned.
The merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including approval of the merger by our stockholders, the absence of injunctions or other legal restrictions and that no material adverse effect shall have occurred to either company. In addition, we will be unable to complete the merger until approvals are received from various governmental entities. Regulatory agencies may impose certain requirements or obligations as conditions for their approval. The merger may require us or Seawell to accept conditions from these regulators that could adversely impact the combined company. We can provide no assurance that we will satisfy the various closing conditions and that the necessary approvals will be obtained or that any required conditions will not materially adversely affect the combined company following the merger. In addition, we can provide no assurance that these conditions will not result in the abandonment or delay of the merger.
Failure to complete the merger or delays in completing the merger could negatively effect us.
If the merger is not completed, our ongoing businesses and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected and we will be subject to several risks, including having to pay certain costs relating to the merger, and diverting the focus of management from pursuing other opportunities that could be beneficial to us, in each case, without realizing any of the benefits of having the merger completed.
In addition, while the merger is pending, certain of our customers may delay or defer purchasing decisions, which could negatively impact our revenues, earnings and cash flows regardless of whether the merger is completed. Uncertainty about the effect of the merger could also cause employees, suppliers, partners, regulators and customers to act in a manner that would have an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we have agreed to refrain from taking certain actions with respect to our business and financial affairs during the pendency of the merger, which restrictions could be in place for an extended period of time if completion of the merger is delayed and thus could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We have and will continue to incur transaction costs in connection with the merger.
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant costs in connection with the merger, including the fees of our respective professional advisors. Seawell will also incur integration and restructuring costs following the completion of the merger as our operations are integrated with Seawell’s operations. The efficiencies anticipated to arise from the merger may not be achieved in the near term or at all, and, if achieved, may not be sufficient to offset the costs associated with the merger. Unanticipated costs, or the failure to achieve expected efficiencies, may have an adverse impact on the results of operations of the combined company following the completion of the merger.
Following the merger, the combined company may be unable to successfully integrate our business into Seawell’s business and realize the anticipated benefits of the merger.
The merger involves the combination of two companies that currently operate as independent public companies. The combined company will be required to devote management attention and resources to integrating its business practices and operations. Potential difficulties that the combined company may encounter in the integration process include the following:
the inability to successfully integrate our business into Seawell’s business in a manner that permits the combined company to achieve the cost savings and operating synergies anticipated to result from the merger, which would result in the anticipated benefits of the merger not being realized partly or wholly in the time frame currently anticipated or at all;
integrating personnel from the two companies while maintaining focus on providing consistent, high quality products and customer service;
potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays or regulatory conditions associated with the merger; and
performance shortfalls at one or both of the two companies as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by completing the merger and integrating the companies’ operations.

43


In addition, Seawell and Allis-Chalmers have each operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the diversion of each company’s management attention, the disruption or interruption of, or the loss of momentum in, each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and employees or our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger, or could reduce the earnings or otherwise adversely affect the business and financial results of the combined company.
We may be unable to attract or retain both current and potential key employees during the pendency of the merger.
In connection with the pending merger, our current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company following the merger, which may materially adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the merger. Key employees may depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the combined company following the merger. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be able to retain key employees to the same extent that we have been able to in the past.
Multiple lawsuits have been filed against us challenging the merger, and an adverse ruling in any such lawsuit may prevent the merger from being completed.
Subsequent to the announcement of the merger, ten putative class-actions petitions and complaints were commenced on behalf of our stockholders against us and our directors, and in certain cases against Seawell and Wellco, each challenging the merger. One of the conditions to the closing of the merger is that no law, order, injunction, judgment, decree, ruling or other similar requirement shall be in effect that prohibits the completion of the merger. Accordingly, if any of the plaintiffs is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the completion of the merger, then such injunction may prevent the merger from becoming effective, or from becoming effective within the expected timeframe.
