WARRIOR ENERGY SERVICES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.

1.

General

The accompanying condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Warrior Energy Services Corporation (the “Company”). Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 should be read in conjunction with this document.

The Company is a natural gas and oil well services company that provides cased-hole wireline and well intervention services to exploration and production (“E&P”) companies. As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Bobcat Pressure Control, Inc. (“Bobcat”) on December 16, 2005, which represents the Company’s introduction into the well intervention services business, the Company currently operates in two business segments: wireline services and well intervention services. The Company’s wireline segment includes the business conducted prior to the Bobcat acquisition, and its well intervention segment includes the business conducted by Bobcat post-acquisition. The Company’s wireline services focus on cased-hole wireline operations, including logging services, perforating, mechanical services, pipe recovery and plugging and abandoning the well. The Company’s well intervention services are primarily hydraulic workover services, commonly known as snubbing services. In conjunction with its well intervention segment operations, in the thirdfourth quarter of 2006, the Company expects to beginbegan taking delivery of approximately 20 coiled tubing, nitrogen pumping and fluid pumping units with delivery of all the units expected before the end of 2007. All of the Company’s services are performed at the well site and are fundamental to establishing and maintaining the flow of natural gas and oil throughout the productive life of the well.

On September 22, 2006, the Company entered into a merger agreement to be acquired by Superior Energy Services, Inc. (“Superior”). Under the terms of the agreement, for each share of the Company’s common stock, a stockholder will receive upon the closing of the transaction $14.50 in cash and 0.452 shares of Superior common stock. The total purchase price is $358.0 million based on the closing price of Superior common stock on September 22, 2006, inclusive of indebtedness of the Company. The transaction is subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company, regulatory review and customary closing conditions, and is expected to close late in the fourth quarter of 2006. More information on the merger agreement can be found in the Company’s S-4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Stock-Based Compensation

2.On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement 123 (revised 2004) (Statement 123(R)), Share-Based Payment,which revises Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,and supersedes APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Statement 123(R) requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of our stock-based compensation awards, including employee stock options.

     On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement 123 (revised 2004) (Statement 123(R)), Share-Based Payment,which revises Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Statement 123(R) requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of our stock-based compensation awards, including employee stock options.

Prior to the adoption of Statement 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based compensation awards using the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion 25. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize compensation expense in our statement of operations for options granted that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. However, the Company did record compensation expense related to restricted stock units based on the market value of our stock at the date of grant. As required by Statement 123, the Company also provided certain pro forma disclosures for stock-based awards as if the fair-value-based approach of Statement 123 had been applied.


Back to Index

The Company has elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by Statement 123(R) and therefore has not restated its financial results for prior periods. Under this transition method, the Company will apply the provisions of Statement 123(R) to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after January 1, 2006. Additionally, the Company will recognize compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered (unvested awards) that are outstanding as of January 1, 2006, as the remaining service is rendered. The compensation cost the Company records for these awards will be based on their grant-date fair value as calculated for the pro forma disclosures required by Statement 123.

The Company’s pre-tax compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation was $361,846 ($227,239 after tax effects) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $657,574 ($412,956 after tax effects) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. As a result of the adoption of Statement 123(R), the Company’s financial results were lower than under its previous accounting method for share-based compensation by the following amounts:

Prior to the adoption of Statement 123(R), the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Statement of Cash Flows. Statement 123(R) requires that cash flows from the exercise of stock options resulting from tax benefits in excess of recognized cumulative compensation cost (excess tax benefits) be classified as financing cash flows. As the Company has not fully utilized its net operating loss carryforwards, the excess tax benefit will not be recorded until the tax benefits are realized.

As required by Statement 123, the Company also provided certain pro forma disclosures for stock-based awards as if the fair-value-based approach of Statement 123 had been applied.

The fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the assumptions in the table below.

The expected term of the options is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the US Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. Volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company has not historically issued any dividends and does not expect to in the future.

2000 Stock Incentive Plan

The Company has adopted a Stock Incentive Plan with a remaining total of 339,807 shares available for award at September 30, 2006. Delivery of shares or vesting of options, and the associated compensation expense, is spread equally over the vesting period of the grant and is subject to the employee’s continued employment by the Company. Option grants under the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan have a contractual life of up to ten years. Grants vest at various times under the Plan. At September 30, 2006, all options granted under the Plan are fully vested with the exception of those options and restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) granted in 2006. To qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code, options must be granted with an exercise price of not less than the fair market value on the date of grant. The Plan terminates on February 11, 2010.

On December 16, 2005, the Company entered into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), providing and on June 22, 2006 and August 14, 2006, it entered into amendments thereto. As amended, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement provides for a term loan and revolving and capital expenditure credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $50.0$85.0 million. The Senior Secured Credit Agreement amended, restated and modified the credit agreement the Company entered into with GECC as of September 14, 2001 and as it was amended and restated on November 14, 2004, including the amendments thereto. The Senior Secured Credit Agreement includes:

a revolving credit facility of up to $15.0 million ($5.4 million available at June 30, 2006), but not exceeding a borrowing base of 85% of the book value of eligible accounts receivable, less any reserves GECC may establish from time to time,
a term loan of $30.0 million, and

a one-yearrevolving credit facility of up to $30.0 million ($14.5 million available at September 30, 2006), but not exceeding a borrowing base of 85% of the book value of eligible accounts receivable, less any reserves GECC may establish from time to time,

a term loan of $30.0 million, and

a capital expenditure loan facility of up to $5.0$25.0 million (fully drawn($20.0 available at JuneSeptember 30, 2006), but not exceeding the lesser of 80% of the hard costs of eligible capital equipment and 75% of the forced liquidation value of eligible capital equipment, subject to adjustment by GECC.

Interest Rates.The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on an index rate, as defined, plus an interest rate margin. The Credit Agreement provides that the interest rate margins are adjusted on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s ratio of funded debt to EBITDA for the trailing twelve months prior to the determination (the “Leverage Ratio”). Based on the Leverage Ratio, the annual interest rate on borrowings under the revolving loan facility is 0.75%range from 0.50% to 1.5% above the index rate, and the annual interest rate on borrowings under the term loan and capital expenditure loan facility is 2.25%facilities range from 2.00% to 3.0% above the index rate. The index rate is a floating rate equal to the higher of (i) the rate publicly quoted from time to time by the Wall Street Journal as the prime rate, or (ii) the average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions among members of the Federal Reserve System plus 0.5%. The interest rate margin above the index rate may be adjusted from time to time on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s ratio of its funded debt to EBITDA (“EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and other non-cash items) for the trailing twelve months prior to the determination. The index rate is a floating rate equal to the higher of (i) the rate publicly quoted from time to time by the Wall Street Journal as the prime rate, or (ii) the average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions among members of the Federal Reserve System plus 0.5%. Subject to the absence of an event of default and fulfillment of certain other conditions, the Company can elect to borrow or convert any loan and pay the annual interest at the LIBOR rate plus applicable margins, of 2.25%based on the Leverage Ratio, ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% on the revolving loan and 3.75%ranging from 3.0% to 4.0% on the term loan and capital expenditure loan. At JuneSeptember 30, 2006 the interest rates were 9.00%9.3%, 9.27%8.9% and 10.50%8.9% for the revolving loan, term loan and capital expenditure loan, respectively.

Related Party Transactions

Through April 24, 2006, the closing date of a public offering of securities by the Company, the Company had outstanding notes payable to SJMB, L.P. (“SJMB”) and St. James Capital Partners, L.P. (“SJCP”) and others who participated with SJMB in the purchase of promissory notes and warrants of the Company (collectively “the St. James Partnerships”). Both the chairman and an employee of SJMB, L.L.C., the general partner of SJMB, served on the Company’s Board of Directors through 12:01 AM on April 19, 2006. Through that time, such persons were the chairman and an employee of St. James Capital Corp., which was then the general partner of SJCP. At April 24, 2006 and JuneSeptember 30, 2005, notes due to the St. James Partnerships totaled $21.9 million and $23.0 million, respectively. The notes bore interest at 15% and were convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $7.50 per share. The principal and accrued interest on this indebtedness was converted into 5,413,437 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $7.50 per share on April 24, 2006 and all but 117,507 of the shares issued were repurchased by the Company out of the net proceeds of the public offering.

Income Taxes

The difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate relates primarily to state income taxes. The Company has federal tax net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) that unless utilized, expire at various dates through 2024. The Company’s utilization of NOLs is subject to a number of uncertainties including the ability to generate future taxable income. In addition, the Company has been subject to a number of “ownership changes” as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Section 382 imposes additional limitations on utilization of certain of the Company’s NOLs. As a result, the Company has provided a valuation allowance on a portion of its NOLs which are more likely than not to be unavailable for use due to these limitations. The Company currently anticipates that it will beginlimitations and is paying income taxes on its earnings in the last half of 2006.

10.Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The statement was issued to clarify the application of FASB Statement No. 133 to beneficial interests in securitized financial assets and to improve the consistency of accounting for similar financial instruments, regardless of the form of the instruments. The Company has evaluated the new statement and determined that the potential impact on its financial statements would not be material.

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. This statement was issued to simplify the accounting for servicing rights and to reduce the volatility that results from using different measurement attributes. The Company has evaluated the new statement and has determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting”Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FAS 109”. FIN 48 clariffiesclarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating what impact, if any, this statement will have on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 was issued to provide consistency between how registrants quantify financial statement misstatements.


Back to ContentsIndex

11. Subsequent EventHistorically, there have been two widely-used methods for quantifying the effects of financial statement misstatements. These methods are referred to as the “roll-over” and “iron curtain” method. The roll-over method quantifies the amount by which the current year income statement is misstated. Exclusive reliance on an income statement approach can result in the accumulation of errors on the balance sheet that may not have been material to any individual income statement, but which may misstate one or more balance sheet accounts. The iron curtain method quantifies the error as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet is misstated. Exclusive reliance on a balance sheet approach can result in disregarding the effects of errors in the current year income statement that results from the correction of an error existing in previously issued financial statements. We currently use the roll-over method for quantifying identified financial statement misstatements.

     In July 2006,SAB 108 established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the Company modified the grant of stock options to an officer and directoreffects of the Company. The modification replacesmisstatement on each of the issuancecompany’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. This approach is commonly referred to as the “dual approach” because it requires quantification of 150,000 stock optionserrors under both the roll-over and iron curtain methods.

SAB 108 allows registrants to initially apply the dual approach either by (1) retroactively adjusting prior financial statements as if the dual approach had always been used or by (2) recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the dual approach as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an exercise priceoffsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of $7.50 and a three year vesting with the issuanceretained earnings. Use of 10,000 stock options with an exercise price of $21.10 and a four year vesting and the granting of 96,682 shares of restricted stock with a four year vesting, both vesting periods beginning January 1, 2007. The modificationthis “cumulative effect” transition method requires detailed disclosure of the grant does not materiallynature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose.

There is no material impact to the Company’s financial statements for the periods presented in this report.based on analysis of unrecorded audit adjustments from prior periods.

 In July 2006, the Company also approved the granting of 250,500 shares of restricted stock to current employees with a four year vesting period.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The Company is a natural gas and oil well services company that provides cased-hole wireline and well intervention services to exploration and production (“E&P”) companies. The Company’s wireline services focus on cased-hole wireline operations, including logging services, perforating, mechanical services, pipe recovery and plugging and abandoning the well. The Company’s well intervention services are primarily hydraulic workover services, commonly known as snubbing services. In conjunction with its well intervention segment operations, in the thirdfourth quarter of 2006, the Company expects to beginbegan taking delivery of approximately 20 coiled tubing, nitrogen pumping and fluid pumping units which will be operated as partwith delivery of all the Company’s well intervention division.units expected before the end of 2007. All of the Company’s services are performed at the well site and are fundamental to establishing and maintaining the flow of natural gas and oil throughout the productive life of the well.

The Company’s results of operations are affected primarily by the extent of utilization and rates paid for its wireline and well intervention services, which is dependent upon the upstream spending by the natural gas and oil exploration and production companies that comprise its client base. The Company derives a majority of its revenues from services supporting production from existing natural gas and oil operations. Demand for these production-related services is less volatile than drilling-related services and tends to remain more stable, as ongoing maintenance spending is required to sustain production. As natural gas and oil prices reach higher levels, demand for the Company’s production-related services generally increases as its customers engage in more well servicing activities relating to existing wells to maintain or increase natural gas and oil production from those wells. Because some of the Company’s services are required to support drilling activities, the Company is subject to changes in capital spending by its customers as natural gas and oil prices increase or decrease.

As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Bobcat Pressure Control, Inc. (“Bobcat”) on December 16, 2005, which represents the Company’s introduction into the well intervention services business, the Company currently operates in two business segments: wireline services and well intervention services. The Company’s wireline segment includes the business conducted prior to the Bobcat acquisition, and its well intervention segment includes the business conducted by Bobcat post-acquisition.

As a consequence of the completion on April 24, 2006 of the Company’s underwritten public offering of shares of its common stock, it repaid a total of $29.0$29.1 of indebtedness owing to GECC under its Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement. In addition, an aggregate of $40.6 million of principal and accrued interest on the Company’s subordinated indebtedness was converted into 5,413,437 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company repurchased out of the net proceeds from its public offering 5,295,930 of those shares issued on conversion of the principal and interest on the subordinated indebtedness, together with 1,104,094 shares that were outstanding prior to the offering, and repurchased 4,075,528 of its common stock purchase warrants out of a total of 4,289,028 common stock purchase warrants that remained outstanding at the time of the public offering. In addition, the 592,466 shares of common stock sold by the selling stockholders in the Company’s underwritten public offering were issued concurrently with the public offering on conversion of $3.1 million principal amount of and accrued interest on outstanding convertible notes. Also concurrently with the public offering, the holders of approximately $525,000 principal amount of and accrued interest on outstanding convertible notes converted the principal of and accrued interest on those notes into an aggregate of 117,507 shares of common stock.

On September 22, 2006, the Company entered into a merger agreement to be acquired by Superior. Under the terms of the agreement, for each share of the Company’s common stock, a stockholder will receive upon the closing of the transaction $14.50 in cash and 0.452 shares of Superior common stock. The total purchase price is $358.0 million based on the closing price of Superior common stock on September 22, 2006, inclusive of indebtedness of the Company. The transaction is subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company, regulatory review and customary closing conditions, and is expected to close late in the fourth quarter of 2006. On November 7, 2006, the Company mailed to its stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2006, the record date for determining stockholders of the Company eligible to vote at a special meeting, a notice of special meeting of stockholders and a proxy statement/prospectus relating to a special meeting of stockholders to be held on December 12, 2006 to vote on a proposal to adopt the merger agreement with Superior.

Revenues

The majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from major and large independent natural gas and oil companies. The primary factor influencing demand for the Company’s services by those customers is their level of drilling and workover activity, which, in turn, depends primarily on the availability of drilling and workover prospects and current and anticipated future natural gas and oil commodity prices and production depletion rates.

The Company’s services are generally provided at a price based on bids submitted which in turn are based on the Company’s current pricing, equipment and crew availability and customer location and the nature of the service to be provided. These services are routinely provided to the Company’s customers and are subject to the customers’ time schedule, weather conditions, availability of the Company’s personnel and complexity of the operation. The Company’s wireline services generally take one to three days to perform while its well intervention services can take up to two weeks or longer to perform. Service revenues are recognized at the time services are performed.

The Company generally charges for its wireline services on a per-well entry basis and its well intervention services on a day-rate basis. Depending on the specific service, a per-well entry or day-rate may include one or more of these components: (1) a set-up charge, (2) an hourly service rate based on equipment and labor, (3) an equipment rental charge, (4) a consumables charge and (5) a mileage and fuel charge. The Company determines the rates charged through a competitive bid process on a job-by-job basis or, for larger customers, the Company may negotiate on an annual basis. Typically, work is performed on a “call out” basis, whereby the customer requests services on a job-specific basis, but does not guarantee work levels beyond the specific job bid.

The Company’s revenues from wireline services during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2005 were approximately $19.7$17.4 million and $34.2$51.6 million, respectively. Inasmuch as the Company entered the well intervention segment of its business in December 2005 with its acquisition of Bobcat, it had no revenues from this source in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2005.

Cost and Expenses

Operating Costs. The Company’s operating costs are comprised primarily of labor expenses, repair and maintenance, material and fuel and insurance. In a competitive labor market in the industry, it is possible that the Company will have to raise wage rates to attract workers and retain or expand its current work force. The Company believes it will be able to increase service rates to its customers to compensate for wage rate increases. The Company also incurs costs to employ personnel to sell and supervise its services and perform maintenance on its fleet. These costs are not directly tied to the Company’s level of business activity. Because the Company seeks to retain its experienced and well-qualified employees during cyclical downturns in its business, and is required to pay severance under employment agreements that cover a portion of its workforce, the Company expects labor expenses to increase as a percentage of revenues during future cyclical downturns. Repair and maintenance is performed by the Company’s crews, company maintenance personnel and outside service providers. The Company endeavors, where possible and subject to existing agreements, to pass on to its customers, material increases in materials and fuel costs as they are incurred by the Company. In any event, due to the timing of the Company’s marketing and bidding cycles, there is generally a delay of several weeks or months from the time that it incurs an actual price increase until the time that the Company can endeavor to pass on that increase to its customers. Insurance is generally a fixed cost regardless of utilization and relates to the number of trucks, skids, snubbing units and other equipment in the Company’s fleet, employee payroll and safety record.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses include administrative, marketing, employee compensation and related benefits, office and lease expenses, insurance costs and professional fees, as well as other costs and expenses not directly related to field operations. The Company’s management regularly evaluates the level of the Company’s general and administrative expenses in relation to its revenue because these expenses have a direct impact on the Company’s profitability. The Company expects to incur additional expense in future periods relating to incentive compensation paid to employees.

Interest Expense.Interest expense consists of interest associated with the Company’s revolving line of credit, term loan, convertible notes and other debt as described in the notes to the Company’s financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report. As a result of the Company’s public offering completed on April 24, 2006, the Company’s debt levels, as a consequence of the application of the net proceeds from that offering are substantially lower than their levels prior to that date. In addition, the Company’s effective borrowing rate is substantially less than that associated with convertible subordinated debt outstanding prior to April 24, 2006 which was converted to equity in connection with the public offering. Accordingly, subsequent to April 24, 2006, interest expense is substantially lower than the levels of interest expense following the Company’s acquisition of Bobcat. Interest income primarily consists of interest earned on the Company’s cash balances.


Back to Index

Depreciation Expense.The Company’s depreciation expense is based on estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to capitalized costs, useful lives and salvage values of the Company’s assets. The Company generally computes depreciation using the straight-line method.

Income Taxes. At December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $29.3 million of net operating losses (“NOLs”) available to offset future taxable income. A portion of these NOLs will be available to reduce taxable income in 2006. However, a significant portion of these NOLs are subject to IRS Section 382 limitations which restrict the Company’s ability to use them to reduce taxable income.


Back to Contents

The Company is required to record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2005 the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $6.4 million against the gross deferred tax asset.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income exclusive of temporary differences and available tax planning strategies. In 2005, the Company recorded a decrease in the valuation allowance of $8.2 million. The decrease was recorded as a $3.0 million reduction of the provision for income taxes and as a $5.2 million reduction of the deferred tax liability and goodwill associated with the acquisition of Bobcat.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Revenues

The Company’s total revenues increased by approximately $12.8$20.8 million and $25.7$46.5 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006, respectively as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2005. This increase in revenues was primarily the result of improved pricing and increased utilization of the Company’s services due to the increase in well maintenance and drilling activity caused by higher natural gas and oil prices and the inclusion of revenues from the well intervention segment for the six-monththree and nine month period. The Company’s wireline segment revenue increased by $4.6$13.1 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006 with the addition of four Wirelinetwo wireline units for the period. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006 the Company’s Wirelinewireline segment revenues increased by $10.8$23.9 million with the addition of eight wireline units during the year ended December 31, 2005 and ninewirelinetwelvewireline units during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006. The Company’s well intervention segment revenues were $8.2$7.8 million and $14.8$22.6 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006 with its acquisition of Bobcat in December 2005. Revenues from the well intervention segment declined in the third quarter to $7.8 million, or by 6%, from the second quarter of 2006 due to lower utilization of the Company’s largest and highest dayrate unit. Margins declined primarily because of the costs associated with starting the Company’s coiled tubing, nitrogen and fluid pumping group with essentially no corresponding revenues. At the end of the third quarter and in October 2006, the Company took delivery of three nitrogen units and its first coiled tubing unit. Management expects results in this segment to significantly improve in the fourth quarter of 2006 and beyond.

The decrease in operating costs as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of the higher utilization and pricing and economies of scale in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006 compared with 2005, as well as the contribution to income from operations from the well intervention segment. The Company’s wireline segment operating costs increased by approximately $1.9$4.8 million and $4.3$9.0 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005 as a result of the increased revenues for the periods with operating costs as a percentage of revenue decreasing to 52.5%49.3% and 54.0%52.1% from 55.1%59.0% and 58.6%57.6% for the same three and sixnine month periods in 2005.

Other income increased by approximately $247,000$140,000 and $255,000$395,000 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006, as compared to the same periods in 2005 due to the expensing of certain non-recurring transaction related costs expensed in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2005.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was approximately $2.8$3.3 million and $4.3$7.6 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006 and $85,000approximately $49,000 and $135,000 for both the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2005. The Company has utilized available NOL’ssubstantially all of its remaining unrestricted NOLs to substantially reduce the amount of current cash taxes payable. However, noNo change in the valuation allowance occurred during the period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006. For the period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2005, the Company recorded a decrease in the valuation allowance which resulted in a reduction in the provision for income taxes being reduced to $0.taxes.

Texas House Bill 3 (“HB3”), which was signed into law in May 2006, provides a comprehensive change in the method of business taxation in Texas. HB3 eliminates the taxable capital and earned surplus components of the existing Texas franchise tax and replaces these components with a taxable margin tax. This change is effective for tax reports filed on or after January 1, 2008 (which are based upon 2007 business activity) and results in no impact on the Company’s current Texas income tax position.

The Company is required to include, in income, the impact of HB3 on its deferred state income taxes during the period which includes the date of enactment. Based on the available information regarding the proposed implementation of this new tax, the Company has determined that no change in deferred state income taxes is needed.

Net Income

Net income for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006 was approximately $4.8$5.6 million and $7.2$12.9 million, respectively, compared with net income of approximately $3.7$2.2 million and $4.4$6.6 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2005. The improved results for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006 over the same periods in 2005 was primarily the result of an increase in revenues reflecting an increase in demand for the Company’s services which resulted in improved pricing and utilization of the Company’s wireline and well intervention services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary liquidity needs are to fund capital expenditures, such as expanding its wireline and well intervention services, geographic expansion, manufacturing and upgrading trucks, skids and snubbing units, the addition of complementary service lines and funding general working capital needs. In addition, the Company could need capital to fund strategic business acquisitions. The Company’s primary sources of funds have historically been cash flow from operations, proceeds from borrowings under bank credit facilities and the issuance of debt. UponWith completion of the Company’s public offering in April 2006, the Company anticipates that it will rely on cash generated from operations, borrowings under its credit facility and possible debt and equity offerings to satisfy its liquidity needs. The Company believes that with the current and anticipated operating environment of the natural gas and oil industry, it will be able to meet its liquidity requirements for the remainder of 2006.2006 and through September 2007. In addition to funding operating expenses, cash requirements for 2006 and through September 2007 are expected to be comprised mainly of amortization payments on indebtedness and funding capital improvements. The Company’s planned growth initiatives are expected to require capital expenditures of in excess of $100.0 million through approximately December 31, 2008. The Company’s ability to fund planned capital expenditures and to make acquisitions will depend upon its future operating performance, and more broadly, on the availability of debt and potentially equity financing, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the Company’s industry, and general financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for bad debts, inventory, long-lived assets, intangibles and goodwill. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123(R)), as more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this Report are “forward-looking statements” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company intends that the forward-looking statements herein be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and this statement is included for the purpose of complying with these safe-harbor provisions.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the matters described under Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Such forward-looking statements relate to the completion by the Company of its merger with Superior, the Company’s ability to generate improved revenues and maintain profitability and cash flow, which in turn are based on the stability and level of prices for natural gas and oil, predictions and expectations as to the fluctuations in the levels of natural gas and oil prices, pricing in the natural gas and oil services industry and the willingness of customers to commit for natural gas and oil well services, the Company’s ability to implement its intended business plans, which include, among other things, the implementation of its previously announced growth initiatives and business strategy and goals, the Company’s ability to raise additional debt or equity capital to meet its requirements and to implement its intended growth initiatives and to obtain additional financing to fund that growth when required, the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with the covenants of its credit agreement and obtain waivers of violations that occur and consents to amendments as required, the Company’s ability to compete in the premium natural gas and oil services market, the Company’s ability to re-deploy its equipment among regional operations as required, the Company’s ability to provide services using state of the art tooling and its ability to successfully integrate and operate the well intervention operations acquired from Bobcat.

Important factors that may affect the Company’s ability to meet these objectives or requirements include:

Back to Index

Important factors that may affect the Company’s ability to meet these objectives or requirements include:

adverse developments in general economic conditions;

changes in capital markets;

adverse developments in the natural gas and oil industry;

developments in international relations;

the commencement or expansion of hostilities by the United States or other governments;

events of terrorism; and

declines and fluctuations in the prices for natural gas and oil;

Material declines in the prices for natural gas and oil can be expected to adversely affect the Company’s revenues. The Company cautions readers that various risk factors described in this Quarterly Report could cause the Company’s operating results and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements it makes and could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and the Company’s ability to pursue its business strategy and plans. Risk factors that could affect the Company’s revenues, profitability and future business operations, among others, are set forth under Item 1A – Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

From time to time,the Company holds financial instruments comprised of debt securities and time deposits. All such instruments are classified as securities available for sale. At December 31, 2005 and JuneSeptember 30, 2006, the Company had no securities available for sale. The Company does not invest in portfolio equity securities, or commodities, or use financial derivatives for trading or hedging purposes. The Company’s debt security portfolio represents funds held temporarily pending use in its business and operations. The Company manages these funds accordingly. The Company seeks reasonable assuredness of the safety of principal and market liquidity by investing in rated fixed income securities while, at the same time, seeking to achieve a favorable rate of return. The Company’s market risk exposure consists of exposure to changes in interest rates and to the risks of changes in the credit quality of issuers. The Company typically invests in investment grade securities with a term of three years or less. The Company believes that any exposure to interest rate risk is not material.


Back to Contents

Under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Agreement and its Second Lien Credit Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation entered into on December 16, 2005, the Company is subject to market risk exposure related to changes in the prime interest rate. Assuming the Company’s level of borrowings from GECC at December 31, 2005 remained unchanged throughout 2006, if a 100 basis point increase in interest rates under the Restated Credit Agreement from rates in existence at December 31, 2005 prevailed throughout the year 2006, it would increase the Company’s 2006 interest expense by approximately $416,000.


Back to Index

On April 24, 2006, the Company repaid its Second Lien Credit Agreement in full and reduced its outstanding indebtedness under its Senior Secured Credit Agreement by approximately $4.0 million.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including William Jenkins, its President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ronald Whitter, its Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on their evaluation, Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Whitter have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission'sCommission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Whitter, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

The following may be deemed to be a material change in the risk factors set forth under Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005:

Failure to complete the merger with Superior could negatively impact the stock price and the future business and financial results of the Company.

Although the Company has agreed that its board of directors will, subject to fiduciary exceptions, recommend that its stockholders approve and adopt the merger agreement with Superior dated September 22, 2006, there is no assurance that the merger agreement and the merger will be approved, and there is no assurance that the other conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied. If the merger is not completed, the Company will be subject to several risks, including the following:

The Company may be required to pay Superior $11.5 million, if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances;

The current market price of the Company’s common stock may reflect a market assumption that the merger will occur, and a failure to complete the merger could result in a negative perception by the stock market of the Company generally and a resulting decline in the market price of the Company’s common stock;

Certain costs relating to the merger (such as legal, accounting and financial advisory fees) are payable by the Company whether or not the merger is completed;

There may be substantial disruption to the business of the Company and a distraction of its management and employees from day-to-day operations, because matters related to the merger may require substantial commitments of time and resources, which could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that could have been beneficial to the Company;

The Company’s business could be adversely affected if it is unable to retain key employees or attract qualified replacements; and

The Company would continue to face the risks that it currently faces as an independent company, as further described in the periodic reports and other documents the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the merger is not completed, these risks may materialize and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial results, financial condition and stock price.
