NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements included herein, which have not been audited pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods on a basis consistent with the annual audited statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period of a full year. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2006.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

We review our long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” If the carrying amount of the asset, including any intangible assets associated with that asset, exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow, before interest, we will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between its carrying amount and its estimated fair value.

Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their net book value or their net realizable value which is determined based upon an estimate of their fair market value less the cost of selling the assets. An impairment is recorded to the extent that the amount that was carried on the books is in excess of the net realizable value. Assets held for sale at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006 are comprised of eight marsh buggies. At June 30, 2006, no impairment of long-lived assets was necessary.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

We consider highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The $1.1 million included in restricted cash at June 30, 2006 represents cash held in escrow for the future purchase of an aircraft.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

We have stock-based compensation plans available to grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted units and restricted stock to key employees. The OMNI Energy Services Corp. Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, provides for 2,750,000 shares of our common stock. The principal awards outstanding under our stock-based compensation plans include non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units. In addition, we have the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”) which became effective on November 11, 1999 and was not approved by the stockholders. The total shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 1999 Plan is 100,000 shares.

The exercise price, term and other conditions applicable to each stock option granted under the stock plans are generally determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The exercise price of stock options is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share of our stock on that date. The options generally become exercisable over a three-year period and expire after ten years.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No.123R”) requiring that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), and related interpretations. We also followed the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”. We adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method and, accordingly, financial statement amounts for prior periods presented in this Form 10-Q have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of recognizing compensation cost relating to non-qualified stock options.

There was $0.01 million and $0.2 million of compensation cost related to non-qualified stock options recognized in operating results (included in general and administrative expenses) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatility is based on implied volatilities from long-term traded options on our stock. We used the simplified method to derive an expected term. The expected term represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following table sets forth the assumptions used to determine compensation cost for our non-qualified stock options consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 123R. The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $3.08 per option.


	Six Months Ended June 30, 2005		Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
Expected volatility	73.00	%	52.69	%
Expected annual dividend yield	0.00	%	0.00	%
Risk free rate of return	3.40	%	4.87	%
Expected option term (years)	6.50		6.50

Under APB No. 25 there was no compensation cost recognized for our non-qualified stock options awarded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 as these non-qualified stock options had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock at the grant date. The following table sets forth pro forma information as if compensation cost had been determined consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 123R.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, there were 181,000 options granted that required consideration under the provision of SFAS No. 123R. The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $1.50 per option.

The following table summarizes information about stock option activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 (in thousands, except option amounts):


	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2005	937,827		$	2.69	7.60

Exercisable at June 30, 2006	615,226		$	2.82	6.14	$	1,737

The total intrinsic value of options (which is the amount by which the stock price exceeded the exercise price of the options on the date of exercise) exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million (employee share), respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the amount of cash we retained from the exercise of stock options was approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million (Company share), respectively. The following table summarizes information about non-vested stock option awards as of June 30, 2006 and changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006:


	Number Of Options		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 31,2005	345,816		$	1.89
Granted	18,000			2.44
Vested	(37,410	)		2.04

Forfeited	(4,022	)		3.05

Non-vested at June 30, 2006	577,691		$	2.52

At June 30, 2006, there was $1.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested non-qualified stock option awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.55 years. The total fair value of options vested during the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.1 million.

RECENTLY ISSUED UNIMPLEMENTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. FIN 48 provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority, is recorded. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our financial statements. At this time, we do not anticipate any material adverse impact on our financial statements from this pronouncement.

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

We have a working capital revolving line of credit (the “Line”) with a bank. Availability under the Line is the lower of: (i) $15.0 million or (ii) the sum of eligible accounts receivable, as defined under the agreement. The Line accrues interest at the prime interest rate plus 1.5% (9.75% at June 30, 2006) and matures in May 2010. The Line is collateralized by accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2006, we had $12.9 million outstanding under the Line. Our additional availability under the Line was $1.0 million at June 30, 2006. Due to the lockbox arrangement and the subjective acceleration clause of the Line agreement, the debt under the Line has been classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, as required by Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 95-22, “Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements that include both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-box Arrangement.”

SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY

On May 18, 2005, we completed a $50 million equipment term financing (“Term A Loan”) and increased our Line to $15 million from its previous level of $12.0 million (with the Term A Loan, collectively referred to herein as the “Senior Credit Facility”). In conjunction with the disposition of the Aviation Transportation Services segment, effective June 2005, the borrowing base was reduced to $30.0 million. On February 13, 2006, we entered into the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) which amended the Term A Loan. Under the terms of the Amendment, the funding limits will be limited to the lesser of $30.0 million and the sum of (i) 50% of the orderly liquidation value of our seismic drilling, environmental and leasing equipment, and (ii) 50% of the fair market value of certain real estate. In addition, the Term A Loan matures in May 2010 and will be repaid monthly in equal payments up to a 25% balloon at maturity date, with interest paid in arrears and accruing at the annual interest rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 5.5% (10.73% at June 30, 2006). The Term A Loan restricts the payment of cash dividends and contains customary financial covenants requiring, among other things, minimum levels of tangible net worth, debt to EBITDA ratios and limitations on capital expenditures. On February 14, 2006, we borrowed an additional $7.0 million on the Term A Loan to partially fund the Preheat acquisition (see Note 7), leaving an outstanding balance of $10.1 million at June 30, 2006, after scheduled monthly principal payments.

JUNIOR CREDIT FACILITY

On August 29, 2005, we completed a $25.0 million multiple draw term credit facility (“Term B Loan”). Under the terms of the Term B Loan, funding will be done through advances at our request in minimum amounts of $2.0 million. Quarterly payments in the amount of $0.2 million, plus interest, will begin on April 1, 2008. In the event that we no longer have any senior term debt outstanding, the annual principal amortization of the Term B Loan will be increased to 7.5% of the advances outstanding under the Term B Loan beginning December 31, 2006. The Term B Loan matures in August 2010 and will accrue interest at the rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 8% (13.23% at June 30, 2006). The Term B Loan restricts the payment of cash dividends and contains customary financial covenants requiring, among other things, minimum levels of tangible net worth, debt to EBITDA ratios and limitations on annual capital expenditures. On February 14, 2006, we borrowed an additional $6.0 million on the Term B Loan to partially fund the Preheat acquisition (see Note 7), leaving an outstanding balance of $15.0 million at June 30, 2006.

CAPITAL LEASES

Prior to June 30, 2005, we had several capital leases for aircraft which generally had lease terms of 60 months at inception of the lease. Aircraft leases either contained a bargain purchase option at the end of the lease or a balloon amount due that can be refinanced over 36 months. From time to time, we acquired an aircraft through cash flows from operations or through the Line which was then sold to a financing company and leased back to us. These sales and lease back transactions were recorded as a capital lease and gains and losses incurred on the sale are deferred and amortized over the life of the lease term or the asset, whichever is shorter. These leases were paid in full with proceeds from the Term A Loan (see above). As mentioned in Note 9, we sold the equipment and related assets of our Aviation Transportation Services segment for a cash price of $11.0 million effective June 30, 2005. The aviation assets which were held under capital lease at December 31, 2004 were sold in that transaction. During May 2005, proceeds from the borrowings under the Term A Loan were used to repay certain aviation leases outstanding at that time.

Prior to February 2006, we leased several vehicles used in our seismic drilling operations under 40-month capital leases. In February 2006, in accordance with a 2005 agreement, the capital leases on those vehicles were paid off through a refinance transaction with a third party leasing company. The capital leases were replaced with 24-month operating leases expiring in the first quarter of 2008.

Total cost and accumulated depreciation of vehicles held under capital leases is as follows (in thousands):


	December 31, 2005			June 30, 2006
Vehicles		1,694			—
Less: Accumulated depreciation		(795	)		—

Capitalized cost, net	$	899		$	—

Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $0.00 million and $0.19 million and $0.03 and $0.41 million, respectively, for all assets held under capital lease.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 12, 2004, we issued (i) $10.0 million in principal amount of 3-year, 6.5% fixed rate, convertible debentures (the “Initial Debentures”) that were convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $7.15 per share, (ii) 1-year common stock Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 700,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $7.15 per share and (iii) 5-year Common Stock Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 390,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $8.50 per share. The warrants were not exercisable for a period of six months and one day after the issue date of such warrants and in no event would the exercise prices of such warrants be less than $6.15 per share. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 14, the warrants were valued at a fair market value of $0.9 million using the Black Scholes model. The value of these warrants was recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount recorded to paid in capital at the date of issuance. The 1-year Series A warrants expired during 2005.

On April 15, 2004, in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued (i) $5.05 million in principal amount of 3-year, 6.5% fixed rate, convertible debentures (collectively with the Initial Debentures, hereinafter referred to as the “Debentures”) that were convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $7.20 per share, and (ii) 5-year Common Stock Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 151,500 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $9.00 per share. The warrants were not exercisable for a period of six months and one day after the issue date of such warrants and in no event would the exercise prices of such warrants be less than $7.11 per share. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 14, the warrants were valued at a fair market value of $0.2 million using the Black Scholes model. The value of the warrants and beneficial conversion feature were recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount recorded to paid in capital at the date of issuance.

Total proceeds of $14.2 million were received from the issue of these Debentures, after expenses. Of the total proceeds received, $8.2 million was used to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock and dividends in February 2004, $4.9 million was used to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock and dividends in March and April 2004 and the balance used for working capital purposes.

The debt discounts for the February 12, 2004 and April 15, 2004 debentures were $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The debt discounts were being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the period in which the debentures could be put to us. A total of $0.9 million was included in interest expense and $0.2 million loss on extinguished related to the amortization of the debt discounts for the year ended December 31, 2004. Since the Debentures were in default at December 31, 2004, the entire amount of the debt discount was charged to expense during 2004.

Prior to maturity of the Debentures, the holders of the Debentures had the right to require the repayment or conversion of up to an aggregate of $13.17 million of the Debentures (the “Put Option”). We registered 5,012,237 shares effective June 30, 2004 covering the common stock that were issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Debentures and the exercise of the Put Option and all associated warrants, including additional shares that were issuable due to adjustments for conversion price upon the Debenture conversion, payment of interest with shares and/or the exercise of warrants due to subdivision or combination of our common stock.

On January 25, 2005, we filed suit in United States District Court, Western District of Louisiana against the holders of the Debentures and other third parties (collectively, the “Debenture Holders”). In the suit, we alleged that the Debenture Holders violated Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and we sought the disgorgement of profits realized by the Debenture Holders from their purchases and sales of our common stock.

On May 18, 2005, we entered into settlement agreements (“Debenture Settlement Agreements”) with each of the Debenture Holders in exchange for our dismissal of the lawsuit filed against the Debenture Holders. Under the terms of the Debenture Settlement Agreements, we agreed to (i) pay the Debenture Holders approximately $4.0 million cash; (ii) immediately issue the Debenture Holders 2.0 million shares of our common stock at an agreed upon value of $3.4 million; and, (iii) issue the Debenture Holders approximately $4.3 million of unsecured, subordinated promissory notes (“Subordinated Promissory Notes”). We recorded a gain of $0.2 million at the close of these transactions. The Subordinated Promissory Notes were scheduled to be paid quarterly, with interest in arrears, over 36 months in level payments with interest accruing at the rate of 8% per annum. Execution of the Debenture Settlement Agreements extinguished the terms of the original Debentures and released all parties from any future claims.

On August 26, 2005, we entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release (“Agreement and Release”) with two of the three holders of the Subordinated Promissory Notes. Under terms of the Agreement and Release, we paid $1.5 million in cash from the proceeds of a new $25.0 million multiple draw term credit facility, and issued 750,000 shares of our common stock in full satisfaction of the applicable Subordinated Promissory Notes. At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, the remaining Subordinated Promissory Note had a balance of approximately $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

TRUSSCO NOTES

On June 30, 2004, we purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of Trussco, Inc. and all of the membership interests in Trussco Properties, L.L.C. (collectively “Trussco) for an aggregate acquisition price of $11.9 million, including $7.3 million in cash, $3.0 million in 5% convertible promissory notes payable to certain stockholders (“Stockholder Notes”) maturing in June 2007, and the assumption of approximately $1.6 million in debt and other liabilities. The Stockholder Notes can be prepaid at any time and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $9.40 per share.

On May 18, 2005, in connection with the completion of the Term A Loan, we entered into early debt extinguishment agreements (“Debt Extinguishment Agreements”) with respect to $2.0 million of the Stockholder Notes and $1.0 million of the Earnout Note more fully described in Note 4. Under the terms of the Debt Extinguishment Agreements on August 29, 2005, we (i) issued 0.2 million shares of our common stock; and (ii) paid certain holders of the Stockholder Notes $1.0 million in full and complete satisfaction of $2.0 million of the Stockholder Notes and $1.0 million of the contingent Earnout Note. The Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $0.3 million upon closing the transaction.

At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, we have $1.0 million of Stockholder Notes outstanding bearing interest at 5% and maturing in June 2007. We also have $2.0 million of contingent Earnout Notes as further described in Note 4 below. Based upon current estimates, the amounts due and payable by the end of the term of the Earnout Note, if any, will be immaterial.

PREHEAT NOTES

INSURANCE NOTES PAYABLE

A portion of our property and casualty insurance premiums are financed through certain short-term installment loan agreements. The insurance notes are payable in monthly installments through August 2006 and accrue interest at rates ranging between 4.6% and 5.0%.

NOTE 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

INSURANCE

Trussco, Inc. maintained a self-insurance program for a portion of its health care and workers’ compensation costs. Self-insurance costs are accrued based upon the aggregate of the liability for reported claims and the estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported. As of June 30, 2006, we had $0.1 million of accrued liabilities related to health care and workers’ compensation claims.

Management is not aware of any significant workers’ compensation claims or any significant claims incurred but not reported as of June 30, 2006.

SERIES A AND SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK LITIGATION

On May 3, 2006, the Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana unanimously denied the writ application filed by Advantage Capital, et. al. (collectively “ACP”) which sought to reverse an earlier judgment by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal for the State of Louisiana which confirmed our right to redeem our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”).

DEBENTURE LITIGATION

On January 25, 2005, we filed suit in United States District Court, Western District of Louisiana against the Debenture Holders alleging that the Debenture Holders violated Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and we sought the disgorgement of profits realized by the Debenture Holders from their purchases and sales of our common stock.

On May 18, 2005, we entered into the Debenture Settlement Agreements with each of the Debenture Holders in exchange for our dismissal of the lawsuit filed against the Debenture Holders. Under the terms of the Debenture Settlement Agreements, we agreed to (i) pay the Debenture Holders approximately $4.0 million cash; (ii) immediately issue the Debenture Holders 2.0 million shares of our common stock at an agreed upon value of $3.4 million; and (iii) issue the Debenture Holders the Subordinated Promissory Notes. The Subordinated Promissory Notes were scheduled to be paid quarterly, with interest in arrears, over 36 months in level payments with interest accruing at the rate of 8% per annum. Execution of the Debenture Settlement Agreements extinguished the terms of the original Debentures and released all parties from any future claims.

On August 26, 2005, we entered into an Agreement and Release with two of the three holders of the Subordinated Debenture Notes. Under terms of the Agreement and Release, we paid $1.5 million in cash and issued 750,000 shares of our common stock in full satisfaction of the applicable Subordinated Promissory Notes. At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, the remaining Subordinated Promissory Note had a balance of approximately $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

TRUSSCO INC. EARNOUT

In connection with the acquisition of Trussco, we issued to certain former shareholders of Trussco a promissory note (“Earnout Note”) that will earn interest at a rate of 5% per annum of the amount owed. Under the terms of the Earnout Note, we agreed to pay these shareholders on or before June 30, 2007, the lesser of (i) the amount of $3.0 million, or (ii) the sum of the product of 3.12 times Trussco’s average annual EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization) for the 36 month period ending December 31, 2006 less the sum of $9.0 million plus $1.5 million of Trussco long-term and former shareholder debt existing as of June 30, 2004 that we assumed.

At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, we have $2.0 million of contingent Earnout Notes payable. Based upon current estimates, the amounts due and payable by the end of the term of the Earnout Note, if any, will be immaterial.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS

On June 30, 2004, we amended Restricted Stock Incentive Agreements with certain executive officers and executed Amended and Restated Incentive Agreements (collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Incentive Agreements”) that award stock and/or cash on various vesting dates. Under the terms and conditions of the Incentive Agreements, two executive officers received 40,454 shares and 50,000 shares, respectively. The stock was held in escrow, registered in the name of the executive officers, until it vested 100% on November 4, 2004. Tax equalization payments were also paid to the two executive officers totaling $0.1 million at June 30, 2004. The awards were valued at their fair market value at price of $5.05 at June 30, 2004 and recorded, in full, as compensation expense of $0.5 million.

The Incentive Agreements also grant these executive officers the right to receive two cash payments each equal to the fair market value of 60,673 shares and 75,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, on the first business day following our annual stockholders’ meeting in 2005 and in 2006. The amounts of such stock-based awards to the executive officers on each vesting date may be paid in cash or, at the sole option of the Compensation Committee, in additional common stock, provided such shares are available for issuance pursuant to the terms of the Sixth Amended and Restated OMNI Energy Services Corp. Stock Incentive Plan (hereinafter the “Plan”). Such shares were not available until November 30, 2004, when the number of shares available under the Plan was approved by the stockholders to be increased. From June 30, 2004 until November 30, 2004 the awards were accounted for under FASB Interpretations (FIN) No. 28 “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Right and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans” as a variable plan, which requires that compensation will be measured at the end of each period at the quoted market price of a share of our common stock and the change in the value of the incentive awards be charged to expense. As such, the awards were revalued at the end of each reporting period at the quoted market price of a share of our common stock. At November 30, 2004, the market value of a share of our common stock was $2.93 resulting in compensation expense under variable accounting of $0.5 million to be recognized through that date. Effective November 30, 2004, the Company amended these incentive agreements to provide for 100% vesting of the restricted stock and have put into escrow the number of shares of common stock to settle the awards. Accordingly, the previously unvested portion of the award was charged to expense which, along with the previously recognized $0.5 million, totaled $0.8 million which was recorded as compensation expense as of December 31, 2004.

We also entered into Stock-Based Award Incentive Agreements (hereinafter “SBA”) with certain executive officers on June 30, 2004. The SBA shall become computed and payable: (a) on the date of the Employee’s termination of employment (for any reason other than resignation or termination for cause), (b) 90 days after the executive’s death or disability or (c) upon a Change in Control. The executive officers were awarded 45% and 55%, respectively, of: (1) 10% of the fair market value (hereinafter “FMV”), defined as the average closing price per share on the NASDAQ Global Market over the five prior trading days times the number of our issued and outstanding shares, of a share of our common stock greater than or equal to $1.00 but less than $1.50, plus (2) 15% of the FMV of a share of our common stock greater than or equal to $1.50 but less than $2.50, plus (3) 20% of the FMV of a share of our common stock greater than or equal to $2.50 but less than $10.00, plus (4) 15% of the FMV of a share of the Company’s common stock greater than or equal to $10.00 but less than $20.00, plus (5) 10% of the FMV of a share of our common stock greater than or equal to $20.00. If no payments have been made, the right terminates on December 31, 2008 or upon termination of employment for resignation or cause, whichever occurs first. The intrinsic value of this award at June 30, 2006 is $37.4 million but no compensation expense has been recorded because the award is contingent on future events, none of which are considered probable at June 30, 2006.

In addition, we entered into employment contracts with certain key executive management effective until December 31, 2008 with automatic extensions for additional, successive one year periods commencing January 1, 2009, unless either party gives notice of non-renewal as provided for under the terms of the employment contracts.

In connection with the Trussco acquisition, we entered into employment contracts with three former Trussco stockholders effective until December 31, 2006 with automatic extensions for additional, successive one year periods commencing January 1, 2007, unless either party gives notice of non-renewal as provided for under the terms of the employment contracts. During 2005, two of these employment contracts were terminated.

In connection with the Preheat acquisition, we entered into employment contracts with the two former stockholders effective until December 31, 2007 with an automatic extension for one additional twelve month period commencing January 1, 2008 unless either party gives notice of non-renewal as provided under the terms of the employment contracts.

In the normal course of our business, we become involved in various litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages, personal injuries and other matters. While we believe we have meritorious defenses against these claims, management has used estimates in determining our potential exposure and has recorded reserves in our financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in our estimates of that exposure could occur, but we do not expect such changes in estimated costs will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 5. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

PREFERRED STOCK

In October 2000, we agreed to convert $4.6 million of previously issued subordinated debentures into our Series A Preferred which was convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.75 per share. In May 2001, we agreed to pay the affiliate $3.0 million cash plus issue to the affiliate $4.6 million of the Company’s Series B Preferred in satisfaction of all of the remaining previously issued outstanding subordinated debentures including accrued interest of $1.8 million. The Series B Preferred was convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.25 per share. This transaction resulted in the affiliate agreeing to forgive $1.0 million of indebtedness. The Preferred Stock earned dividends at a rate of 8% of which dividends of $484,000 and $490,000 were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. In February 2004, we issued $10 million of 6.5% Subordinated Convertible Debentures (See Note 3). The proceeds were used to redeem $8.2 million (7,475 shares) of the Series A Preferred outstanding, including accrued dividends of $0.7 million. The remaining 25 shares of Series A Preferred were redeemed in April 2004 for $0.03 million. At December 31, 2005, there are no Series A Preferred shares outstanding. During the first quarter of 2004, we redeemed 2,286 shares of the Series B Preferred for $2.4 million, including accrued dividends of $0.1 million. In April 2004, we redeemed 2,285 shares of the total of 2,314 shares of the Series B Preferred outstanding for $2.5 million, including accrued dividends of $0.2 million. At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, 29 shares of Series B Preferred remain outstanding and are convertible into 7,733 shares of our common stock.

On May 17, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain of our affiliates and executive officers to issue up to $5.0 million of Series C Preferred in conjunction with the completion of the Senior Credit Facility more fully described in Note 3. Our Series C Preferred is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.95 per share and includes detachable warrants to purchase up to 6,550,000 additional shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging between $1.95 and $3.50 per share. The conversion prices of our Series C Preferred and the warrant exercise prices were supported by a fairness opinion issued by a third party. The transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement closed in two tranches. On May 17, 2005, we issued an aggregate of 3,500 shares of Series C Preferred and warrants to acquire 4,585,000 shares of our common stock, in exchange for $3.3 million, net of offering costs of $0.2 million. The proceeds of the issuance were allocated to the warrants and preferred stock based on the relative fair value of each instrument. The value attributed to the warrants was $2.9 million ($2.7 million net of offering costs) and was recorded as additional paid in capital while $0.6 million was the attributed value to the preferred stock. In addition, the conversion terms of the preferred stock result in a beneficial conversion feature valued at approximately $0.7 million. As a result of the terms of conversion, we recorded a one time charge to retained earnings for this amount representing a deemed dividend to the preferred stockholders with the offset recorded in additional paid in capital.

On August 29, 2005, the remainder of the Series C Preferred and warrants were issued generating gross proceeds of $1.5 million. The proceeds of the issuance of the second tranche were allocated to the warrants and preferred stock based on the relative fair value of each instrument. The entire value of $1.5 million was attributed to the fair value of the warrants and was recorded as additional paid in capital. In addition, the conversion terms of the preferred stock issued in the second tranche resulted in no beneficial conversion feature.

The Term A Loan and the Term B Loan restrict the payment of cash dividends. Consequently, the dividend obligation related to the Series C Preferred has been satisfied through the issuance of additional shares of Series C Preferred as payment-in-kind (“PIK”) dividends. These additional shares of preferred stock do not have warrants attached to them. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, 235 shares of Series C Preferred were issued as PIK dividends. In addition, the conversion terms of the preferred stock issued as PIK dividends resulted in a beneficial conversion feature. As a result of these PIK dividends, we recorded a one time charge to retained earnings representing a dividend to the preferred stockholders with the offset recorded in additional paid in capital.

At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, 5,128 and 5,363 shares of Series C Preferred remain outstanding, respectively, and are convertible into 2,629,744 and 2,750,256 shares of our common stock, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is determined by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options and other contracts to issue shares of common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we had 250,430 and 136,151 options, respectively, and 640,087 and 640,790 warrants, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as they were antidilutive. In addition, Stockholder Notes convertible into 107,565 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, we had 964,552 and 999,719 options, respectively, and 5,948,166 and 5,948,166 warrants, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as they were antidilutive. In addition, preferred stock convertible into 1,802,605 shares of common stock and Stockholder Notes convertible into 319,144 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

The following table reconciles net income available to common stockholders and common equivalent shares for the Basic EPS calculation to net income available to common stockholders and common equivalent shares for the Diluted EPS calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively:

NOTE 6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. Currently, we conduct our operations principally in four segments – Seismic Drilling, Environmental Services, Equipment Leasing and Other Services, all of which operate exclusively in North America. The Seismic Drilling segment is comprised of three divisions – Drilling, Survey and Permitting. The Equipment Leasing segment and the Environmental

Services segment operate as stand alone segments. Other Services are accounted for in the Equipment Leasing segment. All remaining assets, primarily our corporate offices, warehouses and underlying real estate, also are located in North America. The segment classified as corporate includes all other operating activities to support the executive officer, capital structure and costs of being a public registrant. These costs are not allocated to the business segments by management when determining segment profit or loss.

Drilling revenue is derived primarily from drilling and loading of the source points for seismic analysis. Survey revenue is recorded after the customer has determined the placement of source and receiving points, and after survey crews are sent into the field to plot each source and receiving point prior to drilling. Permitting revenue is derived from services provided in conjunction with obtaining permits from landowners. Environmental revenue is earned from tank and vessel cleaning. Equipment leasing revenue is derived from the rental of various pieces of oilfield equipment to offshore and land-based oil production rigs. Other services revenue is comprised of metal stress relieving and wellhead installation services. As discussed in Note 9, we discontinued the operations and sold the equipment and related assets of our Aviation Transportation Services segment effective June 30, 2005.

The following table shows segment information (net of intercompany transactions) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and as restated for discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005:

NOTE 7. ACQUISITIONS

PREHEAT, INC.

Effective February 10, 2006, we purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of Preheat, Inc. for an aggregate acquisition price of $23.0 million, including $16.0 million in cash, $3.0 million (900,000 shares) of our common stock and $4.0 million in 5% promissory notes payable to certain stockholders (“Preheat Notes”), and the assumption of approximately $1.6 million in debt and other liabilities. The Preheat Notes consist of three separate notes with $2.7 million maturing in February 2008, $0.5 million maturing in February 2009, and $0.8 million maturing in February 2009. The acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting. Preheat is a leading provider of oilfield rental equipment services principally to major and independent oil and gas companies operating in the Gulf of Mexico. The acquisition has increased our revenue and customer base and offers cross-selling opportunities to customers of our existing environmental division. The results of Preheat’s operations are included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The property and equipment are amortized over three to ten years with no residual value. The final allocation of the purchase price has not been completed. The allocation of the purchase price is subject to adjustment as acquired asset and liability values are finalized and certain “look back” provisions are resolved (in thousands):

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

As of June 30, 2006, for tax purposes, we had net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $36.0 million. The NOLs will expire commencing 2018. We account for income taxes under the provision of SFAS No. 109, which requires recognition of future tax benefits (NOLs and other temporary differences), subject to a valuation allowance based on more likely than not that such asset will be realized. In determining whether it is more-likely-than-not that we will realize such tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires that all negative and positive evidence be considered (with more weight given to evidence that is “objective and verifiable”) in making the determination. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, no current provision for income taxes has been provided due to the availability of our NOL. Our current tax payable is offset by the reversal of a like amount of the valuation allowance.

During the three months ended June 30, 2006, $1.0 million of the valuation allowance was removed as an income tax benefit based upon anticipated future taxable income.

NOTE 9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On November 20, 2003, we purchased AHI, resulting in the acquisition of 13 helicopters and four leased helicopters at bases located in Louisiana and Texas. AHI was strategically targeted and purchased for the infrastructure of aircraft, fueling stations, flight (customer) following and pilot and mechanic organizations.

In July 2004, after owning AHI for approximately eight months, we withdrew our business activity with AHI customers in Texas, and moved all operations to our main operating facility in Louisiana. This strategy also fit with the planned completion of the Intracoastal City (Mouton Cove) facility as a central base of operations. Our planned strategy was to certify all of our fleet under the OMNI Federal Aviation Agency 135 certificate and to market our flight services to independent and major oil and gas customers. Our strategy was to service operators that require aircraft geared to crew change and larger passenger capacity, which allow for higher rates and use. The large operators work from Master Service Agreements which met our needs for higher, more fixed pricing and fixed unit structures. The plan encompassed relocation of personnel, the elimination of certain duplicate positions, and the negotiation of early release of operating leases at the Brazoria County facility. The costs we incurred included travel and re-location costs for personnel who were relocated, costs associated with the transfer of aircraft to the 135 certificate, termination costs for personnel who were eliminated, costs incurred to obtain an early release of operating leases at the Brazoria County facility and other direct costs related to the exit of this business group. In September 2004, we surrendered the AHI 135 certificate.

Effective June 30, 2005, we sold the equipment and related assets of our Aviation Transportation Services segment for a cash price of $11.0 million. Accordingly, the disposition of the Aviation Transportation Services segment has been accounted for as a discontinued operation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

Interest expense was allocated to the discontinued operations (Aviation Transportation Services segment) in accordance with the provisions of the EITF No. 87-24 “Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations.” The total amount of interest expense included in loss from discontinued operations is $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

Accordingly, the table below presents all revenues and expenses of the Aviation Transportation Services segment as loss from discontinued operations (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30, 2005			Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Revenue	$	2,730		$	4,900

LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF AVIATION TRANSPORTATION SERVICES SEGMENT

As a result of the sale of the Aviation Transportation Services segment, we incurred a loss in the amount of $2.3 million. The table below presents the assets of the Aviation Transportation Services segment as of June 30, 2005 which were removed from the balance sheet as a result of the sale (in thousands):


Inventory			$	1,567
Other receivable				411
Prepaid expenses				411
Aircraft held for sale				370
Property, plant and equipment				11,079
Less: accumulated depreciation				(1,708	)
Other assets, net of accumulated amortization
Acquisition costs	$	13
Intangible assets		207
Loan closing costs		921

				1,141

Total book value of assets sold			$	13,271

The loss on the disposal of the Aviation Transportation Services segment is calculated as follows (in thousands):


Proceeds from the sale	$	11,000
Less: book value of assets sold		(13,271	)

Loss on sale of aviation division	$	(2,271	)

NOTE 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS.

As mentioned in Note 3, the Term A Loan and the Term B Loan restrict the payment of cash dividends. Consequently, a portion of the 9% dividend obligation related to the Series C Preferred has been satisfied through the issuance of additional shares of Series C Preferred as PIK dividends. These additional shares of preferred stock do not have warrants attached to them. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, 235 shares of Series C Preferred were issued as PIK dividends at par. In addition, PIK dividends representing 237 shares of Series C Preferred were declared during that same period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains certain “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which reflect management’s best judgment based on factors currently known.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On June 27, 2006, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) for the acquisition of Rig Tools, Inc. (“Rig Tools”). Rig Tools is a leading Gulf Coast lessor of oilfield equipment and provider of specialized oilfield and environmental services. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Letter of Intent, we will purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Rig Tools for an aggregate purchase price of $14.0 million, consisting of $10.0 million in cash and $4.0 million in convertible promissory notes and the assumption of certain bank debt. Completion of the acquisition is subject to the finalization of the due diligence to our satisfaction, negotiation of a definitive purchase agreement with terms acceptable to both parties, and the approval of the transaction by our lenders and Board of Directors. Closing is expected in the fourth quarter of 2006.

GENERAL

We are a leading oilfield service company specializing in providing an integrated range of (i) onshore seismic drilling, operational support, and permitting and survey services to geophysical companies operating in logistically difficult and environmentally sensitive terrain, (ii) dockside and offshore hazardous and non-hazardous oilfield waste management and environmental cleaning services, including tank and vessel cleaning and safe vessel entry for oil and gas companies operating primarily in the Gulf of Mexico, and (iii) a large fleet of oilfield equipment available for leasing on a daily basis. We operate in four business segments: Seismic Drilling (which includes seismic drilling, permitting and survey services), Environmental Services, Equipment Leasing and Other Services (which includes metal stress relieving and wellhead installations).

We were founded in 1987, as OMNI Drilling Corporation, to provide drilling services to the geophysical industry. In July 1996, OMNI Geophysical, L.L.C. acquired substantially all of the assets of OMNI Geophysical Corporation, the successor to the business of OMNI Drilling Corporation. OMNI Energy Services Corp. (“OMNI”) was formed as a Louisiana corporation on September 11, 1997 to acquire all of the outstanding common units of OMNI Geophysical L.L.C.

The principal market of our Seismic Drilling division is the marsh, swamp, shallow water and contiguous dry land areas along the Gulf of Mexico (the “Transition Zone”), primarily in Louisiana and Texas, where we are the leading provider of seismic drilling support services. In 1997, we commenced operations in the mountainous regions of the Western United States, and in 2003, we initiated seismic drilling activities in various Transition Zone regions of Mexico.

We own and operate a fleet of specialized seismic drilling and transportation equipment for use in the Transition Zone. We believe we are the only domestic company that currently can both provide an integrated range of seismic drilling, permitting, and survey services in all of the varied terrain of the Transition Zone and simultaneously support operations for multiple, large-scale seismic projects. In 2002, we acquired all of the assets of AirJac Drilling, a division of Veritas Land DGC. With this acquisition, we became the largest domestic provider of seismic drilling services to geophysical companies.

We provide dock-side and offshore hazardous and non-hazardous oilfield waste management and environmental cleaning services, including drilling rig, tank and vessel cleaning, safe vessel entry, naturally occurring radioactive material (“NORM”) decontamination, platform abandonment services, pipeline flushing, gas dehydration, and hydro blasting. Demand for our dock-side vessel and tank cleaning and non-hazardous waste treatment businesses are primarily driven by drilling and well-site abandonment activity in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico, as reflected by the drilling rig count. Much of the cleaning and waste treatment is from residual waste created in the drilling process.

We completed the acquisition of Preheat, Inc. in February 2006. Preheat is a premier provider of rental equipment and specialized environmental services principally to drilling contractors operating in the Gulf of Mexico. Preheat has a vast fleet of rental equipment including pressure washers, reverse osmosis machines and steam cleaners. In addition to the oilfield rental equipment, Preheat offers wellhead installation, stress relieving services and environmental pit cleaning services to drilling contractors. Preheat operates from locations in Belle Chasse and Broussard, Louisiana and Freer, Texas. The addition of Preheat further expands our core business segments and provides us with integration opportunities with our Environmental Services segment.

All of our operations are subject to seasonal variations in weather conditions and available daylight hours. Since our drilling, and environmental activities take place outdoors, on average we experience lower production in winter months than in summer months, due to an increase in rain, fog, and cold conditions and a decrease in daylight hours. These winter conditions also generally result in fewer hours worked per day and fewer holes drilled or surveyed per day during that season.

Operating revenues increased 192% or $18.2 million, from $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $27.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was due partially to our acquisition of Preheat effective February 10, 2006 which contributed $7.2 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2006, as well as an increase in activities from our seismic drilling and environmental services divisions which accounted for $9.7 million and $1.3 million of the increase, respectively. As discussed in Note 9, $2.7 million in aviation revenue is included in the loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2005.

Direct costs increased 174%, or $10.6 million, from $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Direct costs as a result of the recent Preheat acquisition accounted for $4.1 million of the overall increase. Direct costs relating to the other divisions increased $6.5 million with third-party contract services increasing $3.5 million. We contract third parties to provide services when our existing workforce is occupied on other projects. Consistent with the increase in revenues, payroll related costs increased $2.8 million, rentals and leases expense increased $0.6 million, explosives expenses increased $1.5 million and repairs and maintenance expenses increased $0.8 million. As discussed in Note 9, aircraft operating expenses of $2.3 million are included in the loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2005.

Depreciation and amortization costs increased $0.4 million from $1.1 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 to $1.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2006. Depreciation expense increased $0.4 million due to the increase in revenue-producing assets, primarily from the acquisition of Preheat in February 2006. As discussed in Note 9 regarding our discontinued operations, depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.3 million are included in the loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2005.

General and administrative costs increased $1.3 million, from $1.9 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2005 to $3.2 million during the same three month period of 2006 primarily as a result of the acquisition of Preheat. As discussed in Note 9, general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million are included in the loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2005.

Interest expense increased approximately $0.6 million from $0.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 to $1.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2006. The increase in interest expense was attributable to increased levels of debt including financing for the Preheat acquisition coupled with increased interest rates between the periods. Interest expense was further increased by $0.2 million related to amortization of deferred loan costs.

As discussed in Note 9, we sold our Aviation Transportation Services segment effective June 30, 2005. Accordingly, we recorded a loss from discontinued operations totaling $2.1 million, net of income taxes as a component of the net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Additionally, we recorded a loss of $2.3 million on the disposal of the aviation assets.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005

Operating revenues increased 104% or $23.5 million, from $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $46.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was due partially to our acquisition of Preheat effective February 10, 2006 which contributed $10.9 million in revenue for the first half of 2006, as well as an increase in activities from our seismic drilling and environmental services divisions which accounted for $10.3 million and $2.3 million of the increase, respectively. As discussed in Note 9, $4.9 million in aviation revenue is included in the loss from discontinued operations for the first half of 2005.

Direct costs increased 97%, or $13.9 million, from $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $28.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Direct costs as a result of the recent Preheat acquisition accounted for $4.3 million of the overall increase. Direct costs relating to the other divisions increased $9.5 million with third-party contract services increasing $4.1 million. We contract third parties to provide services when our existing workforce is occupied on other projects. Consistent with the increase in revenues, payroll related costs increased $3.5 million and rentals and leases expense increased $1.0 million, explosives expenses increased $1.7 million and repairs and maintenance expenses increased $1.4 million. As discussed in Note 9, aircraft operating expenses of $4.3 million are included in the loss from discontinued operations for the first half of 2005.

Depreciation and amortization costs increased $0.3 million from $2.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 to $2.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Depreciation expense increased $0.5 million due to the increase in revenue-producing assets, primarily from the acquisition of Preheat in February 2006. Additionally, amortization expense decreased by $0.2 million resulting primarily from the revised amortization of intangible assets related to the Trussco acquisition. As discussed in Note 9, depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.5 million are included in the loss from discontinued operations for the first half of 2005.

General and administrative costs increased $1.6 million, from $4.0 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2005 to $5.6 million during the same six month period of 2006 primarily as a result of the acquisition of Preheat. As discussed in Note 9, general and administrative expenses of $0.9 million are included in the loss from discontinued operations for the first half of 2005.

Interest expense increased approximately $1.0 million from $1.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 to $2.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The increase in interest expense was attributable to increased levels of debt including financing for the Preheat acquisition coupled with increased interest rates between the periods. Interest expense was further increased by $0.2 million related to amortization of deferred loan costs.

As discussed in Note 9, we sold our Aviation Transportation Services segment effective June 30, 2005. Accordingly, we recorded a loss from discontinued operations totaling $2.9 million, net of income taxes as a component of the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Additionally, we recorded a loss of $2.3 million on the disposal of the aviation assets for the first half of 2005.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2006, we had approximately $16.5 million in cash and restricted cash compared to $0.2 million at December 31, 2005 and working capital of $10.5 million at June 30, 2006, compared to a deficit of $0.02 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in cash and increase in working capital from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006 are primarily due to significant improvements in our business segment operations, along with the acquisition of Preheat and an increase in the amount borrowed on our line of credit. At June 30, 2006, we borrowed $12.0 million on our Line to better illustrate for investors and financial analysts our funds availability at the end of the quarter. The amount was repaid on the first business day of the third quarter. Cash provided by operating activities was $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Historically, our capital requirements have primarily related to the purchase or fabrication of new seismic drilling equipment and related support equipment and new business acquisitions. In 2005, we acquired approximately $0.8 million of new vehicles accounted for as capital leases and approximately $1.1 million of equipment. Thus far in 2006, we have acquired Preheat and approximately $0.8 million of equipment. For the remainder of 2006, we expect to continue renewing our rolling stock, upgrade Trussco’s facilities and equipment to improve the efficiency of their operations, increase Preheat’s fleet of oilfield leasing equipment and explore strategic business opportunities including the completion of the acquisition of Rig Tools as described in “Recent Developments” above.

On November 11, 2005, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion Capital”). Under terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Fusion Capital has committed to purchase up to $25.0 million of our common stock, at intervals determined by us, at prices determined by a formula set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. As of June 30, 2006, no shares have been purchased under this agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, capital leases on vehicles totaling $0.5 million were repaid. The capital leases were replaced with 24 month operating leases expiring in the first quarter of 2008. We borrowed $6.0 million and $7.0 million on our Term A and Term B Loans to finance the acquisition of Preheat. Loan closing costs of $0.6 million were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2006 in conjunction with the borrowings on the Term Loans.

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

We have a working capital revolving line of credit (the “Line”) with a bank. Availability under the Line is the lower of: (i) $15.0 million or (ii) the sum of eligible accounts receivable, as defined under the agreement. The Line accrues interest at the prime interest rate plus 1.5% (9.75% at June 30, 2006) and matures in May 2010. The Line is collateralized by accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2006, we had $12.9 million outstanding under the Line. Our additional availability under the Line was $1.0 million at June 30, 2006. Due to the lockbox arrangement and the subjective acceleration clause of the Line agreement, the debt under the Line has been classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, as required by EITF 95-22, “Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements that include both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-box Arrangement.”

SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY

On May 18, 2005, we completed a $50.0 million equipment term financing (“Term A Loan”) and increased our Line to $15.0 million from its previous level of $12.0 million (with the Term A Loan, collectively referred to herein as the “Senior Credit Facility”). In conjunction with the disposition of the Aviation Transportation Services segment, effective June 2005, the borrowing base was reduced to $30.0 million. On February 13, 1006, we entered into the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) which amended the Term A Loan. Under the terms of the Amendment, the funding limits will be limited to the lesser of $30.0 million and the sum of (i) 50% of the orderly liquidation value of our seismic drilling, environmental and leasing equipment, and (ii) 50% of the fair market value of certain real estate. In addition, the Term A Loan matures in May 2010 and will be repaid monthly in equal payments up to a 25% balloon at maturity date, with interest paid in arrears and accruing at the annual interest rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 5.5% (10.73% at June 30, 2006). The Term A Loan restricts the payment of cash dividends and contains customary financial covenants requiring, among other things, minimum levels of tangible net worth, debt to EBITDA ratios and limitations on capital expenditures. On February 14, 2006 we borrowed an additional $7.0 million on the Term A Loan to partially fund the Preheat acquisition (see Note 7), leaving an outstanding balance of $10.1 million at June 30, 2006, after scheduled monthly principal payments.

JUNIOR CREDIT FACILITY

CAPITAL LEASES

Prior to February 2006, we leased several vehicles used in our seismic drilling operations under 40-month capital leases. In February 2006, in accordance with a 2005 agreement, the capital leases on most of those vehicles were paid off through a refinance transaction with a third party leasing company. The capital leases were replaced with 24-month operating leases expiring in the first quarter of 2008.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 12, 2004, we issued (i) $10,000,000 in principal amount of 3-year, 6.5% fixed rate, convertible debentures (the “Initial Debentures”) that were convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $7.15 per share, (ii) 1-year common stock Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 700,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $7.15 per share and (iii) 5-year Common Stock Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 390,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $8.50 per share. The warrants were not exercisable for a period of six months and one day after the issue date of such warrants and in no event would the exercise prices of such warrants be less than $6.15 per share. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 14, the warrants were valued at a fair market value of $0.9 million using the Black Scholes model. The value of these warrants was recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount recorded to paid in capital at the date of issuance. The 1-year Series A warrants expired during 2005.

On April 15, 2004, in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued (i) $5,050,000 in principal amount of 3-year, 6.5% fixed rate, convertible debentures (collectively with the Initial Debentures, hereinafter referred to as the “Debentures”) that were convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $7.20 per share, and (ii) 5-year Common Stock Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 151,500 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $9.00 per share. The warrants were not exercisable for a period of six months and one day after the issue date of such warrants and in no event would the exercise prices of such warrants be less than $7.11 per share. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 14, the warrants were valued at a fair market value of $0.2 million using the Black Scholes model. The value of the warrants and beneficial conversion feature were recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount recorded to paid in capital at the date of issuance.

debentures could be put to us. A total of $0.9 million was included in interest expense and $0.2 million loss on extinguished related to the amortization of the debt discounts for the year ended December 31, 2004. Since the Debentures were in default at December 31, 2004, the entire amount of the debt discount was charged to expense during 2004.

TRUSSCO NOTES

On May 18, 2005, in connection with the completion of the Term A Loan, we entered into early debt extinguishment agreements (“Debt Extinguishment Agreements”) with respect to $2.0 million of the Stockholder Notes and $1.0 million of the Earnout Note more fully described in Note 4. Under the terms of the Debt Extinguishment Agreements, on August 29, 2005, we (i) issued 0.2 million shares of our common stock; and (ii) paid certain holders of the Stockholder Notes $1.0 million in full and complete satisfaction of $2.0 million of the Stockholder Notes and $1.0 million of the contingent Earnout Note. The Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $0.3 million upon closing the transaction.

At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, we have $1.0 million of Stockholder Notes outstanding bearing interest at 5% and maturing in June 2007. We also have $2.0 million of contingent Earnout Notes payable. Based upon current estimates, the amounts due and payable by the end of the term of the Earnout Note, if any, will be immaterial.

INSURANCE NOTES PAYABLE

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Stock Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”) requiring that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), and related interpretations. We also followed the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure”. We adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method and, accordingly, financial statement amounts for prior periods presented in this Form 10-Q have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of recognizing compensation cost relating to non-qualified stock options.

Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And Assets Held For Sale

We review our long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. If the carrying amount of the asset, including any intangible assets associated with that asset, exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow, before interest, we will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between its carrying amount and its estimated fair value.

Discontinued Operations

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, as a result of the sale of our Aviation Transportation Services segment effective June 30, 2005, the operations of the entire Aviation Transportation Services segment have been accounted for as discontinued operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no significant changes in our market risks since the year ended December 31, 2005. For more information, please read the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2006.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, such officers have concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

During our most recent fiscal quarter, there have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-13(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) 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

SERIES A AND SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK LITIGATION

On May 3, 2006, the Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana unanimously denied the writ application filed by Advantage Capital, et. al. which sought to reverse an earlier judgment by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal for the State of Louisiana which confirmed our right to redeem our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock.

DEBENTURE LITIGATION

On January 25, 2005, we filed suit in United States District Court, Western District of Louisiana against the holders of the Debentures and other third parties (collectively, the “Debenture Holders”). In the suit we alleged that the Debenture Holders violated Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and we sought the disgorgement of profits realized by the Debenture Holders from their purchases and sales of our common stock.

On May 18, 2005, we entered into settlement agreements (“Settlement Agreements”) with each of the Debenture Holders in exchange for our dismissal of the lawsuit filed against the Debenture Holders. Under the terms of the Debenture Settlement Agreements, we agreed to (i) pay the Debenture Holders approximately $4.0 million cash; (ii) immediately issue the Debenture Holders 2.0 million shares of our common stock at an agreed upon value of $3.4 million; and (iii) issue the Debenture Holders approximately $4.3 million of unsecured, subordinated promissory notes (“Subordinated Promissory Notes”). We recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of approximately $0.2 million upon closing of these transactions. The Subordinated Promissory Notes were scheduled to be paid quarterly, with interest in arrears, over 36 months in level payments with interest accruing at the rate of 8% per annum. Execution of the Debenture Settlement Agreements extinguished the terms of the original Debentures and released all parties from any future claims.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
