Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved By Security Holders
 
These plans comprise the following:
 
In 1999 and 2000, the Board compensated former and continuing Board members who had served from 1989 to March 31, 1999 without compensation by issuing promissory notes totaling $325,000 and by granting stock options to these same individuals. Options to purchase 4,800 shares of common stock were granted with an exercise price of $13.75. These options vested immediately and expire in March 2010. As of December 31, 2005, none of these options had been exercised.
 
On May 31, 2001, our Board granted to one of our directors, Leonard Toboroff, an option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $2.50 per share, expiring in October 2011. The option was granted for services provided by Mr. Toboroff to OilQuip prior to our merger with OilQuip Rentals, Inc., including providing financial advisory services, assisting in OilQuip’s capital structure and assisting OilQuip in finding strategic acquisition opportunities. None of these options have been exercised.
 
In February 2002, we issued warrants to purchase 233,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants to purchase 67,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share in connection with a subordinated debt financing. The warrants to purchase 233,000 shares were redeemed during December 2004 for $1.5 million. The remaining 67,000 warrants are currently outstanding and expire in February 2012.
 
In connection with the private placement in April 2004, we issued warrants for the purchase of 800,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. A total of 486,557 of these warrants were exercised in 2005. Warrants for 4,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.65 were also issued in May 2004 and remain outstanding as of December 31, 2005.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc.
Houston, Texas
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
NOTE 1 — NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization of Business
 
Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc. (“Allis-Chalmers” or “We”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1913. OilQuip Rentals, Inc. (“OilQuip”), an oil and gas rental company, was incorporated on February 4, 2000 to find and acquire acquisition targets to operate as subsidiaries.
 
On February 6, 2001, OilQuip, through its subsidiary, Mountain Compressed Air Inc. (“Mountain Air”), a Texas corporation, acquired certain assets of Mountain Air Drilling Service Co., Inc, whose business consisted of providing equipment and trained personnel in the Four Corners area of the southwestern United States. Mountain Air primarily provided compressed air equipment and related products and services and trained operators to companies in the business of drilling for natural gas. On May 9, 2001, OilQuip merged into a subsidiary of Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc. In the merger, all of OilQuip’s outstanding common stock was converted into 2.0 million shares of Allis-Chalmers’ common stock. For legal purposes, Allis-Chalmers acquired OilQuip, the parent company of Mountain Air. However, for accounting purposes, OilQuip was treated as the acquiring company in a reverse acquisition of Allis-Chalmers.
 
On February 6, 2002, we acquired 81% of the outstanding stock of Allis-Chalmers Tubular Services Inc. (“Tubular”), formerly known as Jens’ Oilfield Service, Inc., which supplies highly specialized equipment and operations to install casing and production tubing required to drill and complete oil and gas wells. On February 2, 2002, we also purchased substantially all of the outstanding common stock and preferred stock of Strata Directional Technology, Inc. (“Strata”), which provides high-end directional and horizontal drilling services for specific targeted reservoirs that cannot be reached vertically.
 
In July 2003, through its subsidiary Mountain Air, we entered into a limited liability company operating agreement with a division of M-I L.L.C. (“M-I”), a joint venture between Smith International and Schlumberger N.V. (Schlumberger Limited), to form a Texas limited liability company named AirComp LLC (“AirComp”). The assets contributed by Mountain Air were recorded at Mountain Air’s historical cost of $6.3 million, and the assets contributed by M-I were recorded at fair market value of $10.3 million. We originally owned 55% and M-I originally owned 45% of AirComp. As a result of our controlling interest and operating control, we consolidated AirComp in our financial statements. AirComp is in the compressed air drilling services segment.
 
On September 23, 2004, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Safco-Oil Field Products, Inc. (“Safco”) for $1.0 million. Safco leases spiral drill pipe and provides related oilfield services to the oil drilling industry.
 
On September 30, 2004, we acquired the remaining 19% of Tubular’ in exchange for 1.3 million shares of our common stock. The total value of the consideration paid to the seller, Jens Mortensen, was $6.4 million which was equal to the number of shares of common stock issued to Mr. Mortensen multiplied by the last sale price ($4.95) of the common stock as reported on the American Stock Exchange on the date of issuance.
 
On November 10, 2004, AirComp acquired substantially all the assets of Diamond Air Drilling Services, Inc. and Marquis Bit Co., L.L.C. collectively (“Diamond Air”) for $4.6 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $450,000 of accrued liabilities. We contributed $2.5 million and M-I L.L.C. contributed $2.1 million to AirComp LLC in order to fund the purchase. Diamond Air provides air drilling technology and products to the oil and gas industry in West Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Diamond Air is a leading provider of air hammers and hammer bit products.
 
On December 10, 2004, we acquired Downhole Injection Services, LLC (“Downhole”) for approximately $1.1 million in cash, 568,466 shares of common stock and payment or assumption of $950,000 of debt. Downhole is headquartered in Midland, Texas, and provides chemical treatments to wells by inserting small diameter, stainless steel coiled tubing into producing oil and gas wells.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 
On April 1, 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Delta Rental Service, Inc. (“Delta”) for $4.6 million in cash, 223,114 shares of our common stock and two promissory notes totaling $350,000. Delta, located in Lafayette, Louisiana, is a rental tool company providing specialty rental items to the oil and gas industry such as spiral heavy weight drill pipe, test plugs used to test blow-out preventors, well head retrieval tools, spacer spools and assorted handling tools.
 
On May 1, 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Capcoil Tubing Services, Inc. (“Capcoil”) for $2.7 million in cash, 168,161 shares of our common stock and the payment or assumption of approximately $1.3 million of debt. Capcoil, located in Kilgore, Texas, is engaged in downhole well servicing by providing coil tubing services to enhance production from existing wells.
 
On July 11, 2005, we acquired the compressed air drilling assets of W.T. Enterprises, Inc. (“W.T.”), based in South Texas, for $6.0 million in cash. The equipment includes compressors, boosters, mist pumps and vehicles.
 
On July 11, 2005, we acquired from M-I its 45% interest in AirComp and subordinated note in the principal amount of $4.8 million issued by AirComp, for which we paid M-I $7.1 million in cash and issued to M-I a $4.0 million subordinated note bearing interest at 5% per annum. As a result, we now own 100% of AirComp.
 
Effective August 1, 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Target Energy Inc. (“Target”) for $1.3 million in cash and forgiveness of a lease receivable of approximately $0.6 million. The results of Target are included in our directional and horizontal drilling segment as their Measure While Drilling equipment is utilized in that segment.
 
On September 1, 2005, we acquired the casing and tubing service assets of Patterson Services, Inc. for approximately $15.6 million. These assets are located in Corpus Christi, Texas; Kilgore, Texas; Lafayette, Louisiana and Houma, Louisiana.
 
Vulnerabilities and Concentrations
 
We provide oilfield services in several regions, including the states of Texas, Utah, Louisiana, Colorado, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico and southern portions of Mexico. The nature of our operations and the many regions in which we operate subject us to changing economic, regulatory and political conditions. We are vulnerable to near-term and long-term changes in the demand for and prices of oil and natural gas and the related demand for oilfield service operations.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty. Accordingly, our accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, determining the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, income taxes and valuation allowances. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements

may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allis-Chalmers and its subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 are Oil Quip, Mountain Air, Tubular, Strata, AirComp, Safco, Downhole, Delta, Capcoil and Target. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We provide rental equipment and drilling services to our customers at per day and per job contractual rates and recognize the drilling related revenue as the work progresses and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments from customers for the cost of oilfield rental equipment that is damaged or lost-in-hole are reflected as revenues. We recognized revenue from damaged or lost-in-hole equipment of $970,000, $41,000 and $252,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition In Financial Statements (“SAB No. 104”), provides guidance on the SEC staff’s views on the application of generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. Our revenue recognition policy is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and SAB No. 104.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. We sell our services to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies. We perform continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and although we generally does not require collateral, letters of credit may be required from customers in certain circumstances.
 
We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are determined uncollectible. We have a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given date. Any unanticipated change in any one of these customer’s credit worthiness or other matters affecting the collectibility of amounts due from such customers could have a material effect on the results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, we had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $383,000 and $265,000 respectively. Bad debt expense was $219,000, $104,000 and $136,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
 
Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first — in, first — out (“FIFO”) method or the average cost method, which approximates FIFO, and includes the cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Certain equipment held under capital leases are classified as equipment and the related obligations are recorded as liabilities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 
Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the related assets, are charged to operations when incurred. Refurbishments and renewals are capitalized when the value of the equipment is enhanced for an extended period. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
 
The cost of property and equipment currently in service is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to twenty years. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Capital leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and lease amortization is included in depreciation expense. Depreciation expense charged to operations was $4.9 million, $2.7 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
 
Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Amortization
 
Goodwill, including goodwill associated with equity method investments, and other intangible assets with infinite lives are not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized either on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life or on a basis that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are realized.
 
We perform impairment tests on the carrying value of our goodwill on an annual basis as of December 31st for each of our reportable segments. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, no evidence of impairment exists.
 
   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, and certain other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded in the period in which it is determined that the carrying amount is not recoverable. The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense. The impairment loss is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flow analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets.
 
Financial Instruments
 
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, and debt. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable and payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. We believe the fair values and the carrying value of our debt would not be materially different due to the instruments’ interest rates approximating market rates for similar borrowings at December 31, 2005 and 2004.
 
Concentration of Credit and Customer Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. We transact our business with several financial institutions. However, the amount on deposit in two financial institutions exceeded the $100,000 federally insured limit at December 31, 2005 by a total of $2.0 million. Management believes that the financial institutions are financially sound and the risk of loss is minimal.
 
We sell our services to major and independent domestic and international oil and gas companies. We perform ongoing credit valuations of our customers and provide allowances for probable credit losses where

appropriate. In 2005, none of our customers accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues. In the year ended December 31, 2004, Matyep in Mexico represented 10.8%, and Burlington Resources represented 10.1% of our consolidated revenues, respectively. In the year ended December 31, 2003, Matyep, Burlington Resources, Inc., and El Paso Energy Corporation represented 10.2%, 11.1% and 14.1%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues. Revenues from Matyep represented 94.5%, 98.0% and 100% of our international revenues in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
 
Debt Issuance Costs
 
The costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method, over the maturity periods of the related debt.
 
Income Taxes
 
We use the liability method for determining our income taxes, under which current and deferred tax liabilities and assets are recorded in accordance with enacted tax laws and rates. Under this method, the amounts of deferred tax liabilities and assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.
 
Deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated income tax effect of temporary differences between financial and tax bases in assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are also provided for certain tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
We account for our stock-based compensation using Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB No. 25”). Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized for stock options with an exercise price that is less than the market price on the grant date of the option. For stock options with exercise prices at or above the market value of the stock on the grant date, we adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”). We also adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 for the stock options granted to our employees and directors. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized under APB No. 25. Had compensation expense for the options granted been recorded based on the fair value at the grant date for the options, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, our net income/(loss) and net income/(loss) per share

SFAS No. 132, Employer’s Disclosures About Pension And Other Post Retirement Benefits (“SFAS No. 132”), requires certain disclosures about employers’ pension and other post retirement benefit plans and specifies the accounting and measurement or recognition of those plans. SFAS No. 132 requires disclosure of information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of the plan assets that facilitates financial analysis. Please see Note 3 for further disclosure in accordance with SFAS No. 132.
 
Income Per Common Share
 
We compute income per common share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share (“SFAS No. 128”). SFAS No. 128 requires companies with complex capital structures to present

basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For periods through April 12, 2004, preferred dividends are deducted from net income and have been considered in the calculation of income available to common stockholders in computing basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible preferred stock, stock options, etc.) as if they had been converted. Potential dilutive common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (e.g., those that increase income per share) are excluded from diluted earnings per share.
 
The components of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS No. 154 requires retroactive application of a voluntary change in accounting principle to prior period financial statements unless it is impracticable. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in the method of depreciation, amortization or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 154 as of January 1, 2006 and do not expect that its adoption will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R revises SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and focuses on accounting for share-based payments for services by employer to employee. The statement requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. We will adopt SFAS No. 123R as of January 1, 2006 and will use the modified prospective transition method, utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the calculation of the fair value of our employee stock options. Under the modified prospective method, stock option awards that are granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2006 will be measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. Compensation cost for awards granted prior to, but not vested, as of January 1, 2006 would be based on the grant date attributes originally used to value those awards for pro forma purposes under SFAS No. 123. We believe that the adoption of this standard will result in an expense of approximately $3.2 million, or a reduction in diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.18 per share. This estimate assumes no additional grants of stock options beyond those outstanding as of December 31, 2005. This estimate is based on many assumptions including the level of stock option grants expected in 2006, our stock price, and significant assumptions in the option valuation model including volatility and the expected life of options. Actual expenses could differ from the estimate.
 
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs — an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, which amends the guidance in ARB No. 43 to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. SFAS No. 151 requires that these items be recognized as current period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. We are required to adopt provisions of SFAS 151, on a prospective basis, as of January 1, 2006. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS 151 will have a material impact on our future results of operations.
 
NOTE 2 — RESTATEMENT
 
Earnings Per Share
 
We understated diluted earnings per share due to an incorrect calculation of our weighted shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2003, for each of the first three quarters of 2004, for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. In addition, we understated basic earnings per share due to an incorrect calculation of our weighted average basic shares outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Consequently, we have restated our financial statements for each of those periods. The incorrect calculation resulted from a mathematical error and an improper application of SFAS No. 128. The effect of the restatement is to reduce weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.

AirComp Acquisition
 
In connection with the formation of AirComp LLC in 2003, we, along with M-I L.L.C. contributed assets to AirComp in exchange for a 55% interest and 45% interest, respectively, in AirComp. We originally accounted for the formation of AirComp as a joint venture. However in February 2005, we determined that the transaction should have been accounted for using purchase accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and recorded the sale of an interest in a subsidiary, in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51, Accounting for Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary. Consequently, we restated our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, for the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the three quarters ended September 30, 2004, to reflect the following adjustments:
 
Increase in Book Value of Fixed Assets.
 
Under joint venture accounting, we originally recorded the value of the assets contributed by M-I to AirComp at M-I’s historical cost of $6.9 million. Under purchase accounting, we increased the recorded value of the assets contributed by M-I by approximately $3.3 million to $10.3 million to reflect their fair market value as determined by a third party appraisal. In addition, under joint venture accounting, we established negative goodwill which reduced fixed assets in the amount of $1.6 million. The negative goodwill was amortized by us over the lives of the related fixed assets. Under purchase accounting, we increased fixed assets by $1.6 million to reverse the negative goodwill previously recorded and reversed amortization expenses recorded in 2004. Therefore, the cost of fixed assets was increased by a total of $4.9 million at the time of acquisition. As a result of the increase in fixed assets and the reversal of amortization of negative goodwill, depreciation expense increased by $98,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
 
Increase in Minority Interest and Capital in Excess of Par Value.
 
Under purchase accounting, minority interest was increased by $1.5 million, which was partially offset by minority interest expense of $44,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Under purchase accounting, the capital in excess of par was increased by $955,000.

Increase in Net Income.
 
Under joint venture accounting, no gain or loss was recognized in connection with the formation of AirComp. Under purchase accounting, we recorded a $2.4 million non-operating gain in the third quarter of 2003.
 
As a result of the increase in fixed assets, depreciation expense was increased for the year ended December 31, 2003 by $98,000 and minority interest expense decreased by $44,000, resulting in a reduction in net income attributable to common stockholders of $54,000. However, as a result of recording the non-operating gain, net income attributed to common stockholders increased by $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

NOTE 3 —  POST RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS
 
Medical And Life
 
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization that was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court after acceptances by our creditors and stockholders and was consummated on December 2, 1988, we assumed the contractual obligation to Simplicity Manufacturing, Inc. (SMI) to reimburse SMI for 50% of the actual cost of medical and life insurance claims for a select group of retirees (SMI Retirees) of the prior Simplicity Manufacturing

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Division of Allis-Chalmers. The actuarial present value of the expected retiree benefit obligation is determined by an actuary and is the amount that results from applying actuarial assumptions to (1) historical claims-cost data, (2) estimates for the time value of money (through discounts for interest) and (3) the probability of payment (including decrements for death, disability, withdrawal, or retirement) between today and expected date of benefit payments. As of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, we have post-retirement benefit obligations of $335,000, $687,000 and $545,000, respectively.
 
401(k) Savings Plan
 
On June 30, 2003, we adopted the 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is a defined contribution savings plan designed to provide retirement income to our eligible employees. The Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. It is funded by voluntary pre-tax contributions from eligible employees who may contribute a percentage of their eligible compensation, limited and subject to statutory limits. The Plan is also funded by discretionary matching employer contributions from us. Eligible employees cannot participate in the Plan until they have attained the age of 21 and completed six-months of service with us. Each participant is 100% vested with respect to the participants’ contributions while our matching contributions are vested over a three-year period in accordance with the Plan document. Contributions are invested, as directed by the participant, in investment funds available under the Plan. Matching contributions of approximately $114,000, $35,000 and $10,000 were paid in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
 
NOTE 4 — ACQUISITIONS
 
In July 2003, through our subsidiary Mountain Air, we entered into a limited liability company operating agreement with a division of M-I, a joint venture between Smith International and Schlumberger N.V. (Schlumberger Limited), to form AirComp, a Texas limited liability company. The assets contributed by Mountain Air were recorded at Mountain Air’s historical cost of $6.3 million, and the assets contributed by M-I were recorded at a fair market value of $10.3 million. We originally owned 55% and M-I originally owned 45% of AirComp. As a result of our controlling interest and operating control, we consolidated AirComp in our financial statements. AirComp comprises the compressed air drilling services segment.
 
In September 2004, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Safco for $1.0 million. Safco leases spiral drill pipe and provides related oilfield services to the oil drilling industry.
 
In September 2004, we acquired the remaining 19% of Tubular in exchange for 1.3 million shares of our common stock. The total value of the consideration paid to the seller, Jens Mortensen, was $6.4 million which was equal to the number of shares of common stock issued to Mr. Mortensen (1.3 million) multiplied by the last sale price ($4.95) of the common stock as reported on the American Stock Exchange on the date of issuance. This amount was treated as a contribution to stockholders’ equity. On the balance sheet, the $1.9 million minority interest in Tubular was eliminated. The balance of the contribution of $4.4 million was allocated as follows: In June 2004, we obtained an appraisal of the fixed assets of Tubular which valued the fixed assets at $20.1 million. The book value of the fixed assets was $15.8 million and the fixed assets appraised value was $4.3 million over the book value. We increased the value of our fixed assets by 19% of the amount of the excess of the appraised value over the book value, or $.8 million. The remaining balance of $3.6 million was allocated to goodwill.
 
In November 2004, AirComp acquired substantially all the assets of Diamond Air for $4.6 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $450,000 of accrued liabilities.

NOTE 7 — INCOME TAXES
 
The income tax provision consists of the following (in thousands):
 
                         
    Years Ended December 31,  
    2005     2004     2003  
 
Current Provision
                       
Federal
  $ 123     $     $  
State
    595              
Foreign
    626       514       370  
                         
    $ 1,344     $ 514     $ 370  
                         
 
We are required to file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. We pay foreign income taxes in Mexico related to Allis-Chalmers Tubular Services’ Mexico revenues. There are approximately $1.6 million of U.S. foreign tax credits available to us and of that amount, the available U.S. foreign tax credits may or may not be recoverable by us depending upon the availability of taxable income in future years and therefore, have not been recorded as an asset as of December 31, 2005. Our foreign tax credits begin to expire in the year 2007.
 
The following table reconciles the U.S. statutory tax rate to our actual tax rate:
 
                         
    Years Ended December 31,  
    2005     2004     2003  
 
Income tax expense based on the U.S. statutory tax rate
    34.0 %     34.0 %     34.0 %
State taxes, net of federal benefit
    6.1              
Foreign income at other than U.S. rate
    7.3       36.6       11.2  
Valuation allowances
    (98.7 )     (209.4 )     28.6  
Nondeductible items, permanent differences and other
    67.1       175.4       (62.6 )
                         
Effective tax rate
    15.8 %     36.6 %     11.2 %
                         
 
Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in differences between income for tax purposes and income for financial statement purposes in future years. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets when management, based upon available information, considers it more likely than not that a benefit from such assets will not be realized. We have recorded a valuation allowance equal to the excess of deferred tax assets over deferred tax liabilities as we were unable to determine that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.
 
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that limit the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards if there has been a “change of ownership” as described in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Such a change of ownership may limit the our utilization of our net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, and could be triggered by a public offering or by subsequent sales of securities by us or our stockholders.

Deferred income tax assets and the related allowance as of December 31, were as follows (in thousands):
 
                 
    2005     2004

    5,656       4,894

Total deferred non-current income tax assets
    35,138       35,539

Net deferred income tax assets
  $     $  
                 
 
Net operating loss carry forwards for tax purposes at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were estimated to be $16.6 million and $14.5 million, respectively, expiring through 2024.
 
Net future tax-deductible items relate primarily to timing differences. Our 1988 Plan of Reorganization established the A-C Reorganization Trust to settle claims and to make distributions to creditors and certain stockholders. We transferred cash and certain other property to the A-C Reorganization Trust on December 2, 1988. Payments made by us to the A-C Reorganization Trust did not generate tax deductions for us upon the transfer but generate deductions for us as the A-C Reorganization Trust makes payments to holders of claims.
 
The Plan of Reorganization also created a trust to process and liquidate product liability claims. Payments made by the A-C Reorganization Trust to the product liability trust did not generate current tax deductions for us upon the payment but generate deductions for us as the product liability trust makes payments to liquidate claims or incurs other expenses.
 
We believe the above-named trusts are grantor trusts and therefore we include the income or loss of these trusts in our income or loss for tax purposes, resulting in an adjustment of the tax basis of net operating and capital loss carry forwards. The income or loss of these trusts is not included in our results of operations for financial reporting purposes.

  Bank loans and line of credit agreements
 
On July 11, 2005, we replaced our previous credit agreement with a new agreement that provided for the following senior secured credit facilities:
 
  •  A $13.0 million revolving line of credit. Borrowings were limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory (up to a maximum of $2.0 million of borrowings based on inventory). This line of credit was used to finance working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the issuance of standby letters of credit. Outstanding borrowings under

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

  this line of credit were $6.4 million at a margin above prime and LIBOR rates plus margin averaging approximately 8.1% as of December 31, 2005.
 
  •  Two term loans totaling $42.0 million. Outstanding borrowings under these term loans were $42.0 million as of December 31, 2005. These loans were at LIBOR rates plus a margin which averages approximately 7.8%.
 
We borrowed against the July 2005 facilities to refinance our prior credit facility and the AirComp credit facility, to fund the acquisition of M-I’s interest in AirComp and the air drilling assets of W.T. and to pay transaction costs related to the refinancing and the acquisitions. We incurred debt retirement expense of $1.1 million related to the refinancing. This amount includes prepayment penalties and the write-off of deferred financing fees of the previous financing, which has been included in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
 
Borrowings under the July 2005 credit facilities were to mature in July 2007. Amounts outstanding under the term loans as of July 2006 were to be repaid in monthly principal payments based on a 48 month repayment schedule with the remaining balance due at maturity. Additionally, during the second year, we were to be required to prepay the remaining balance of the term loans by 75% of excess cash flow, if any, after debt service and capital expenditures. The interest rate payable on borrowings was based on a margin over the London Interbank Offered Rate, referred to as LIBOR, or the prime rate, and there was a 0.5% fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving line of credit. The margin over LIBOR was to increase by 1.0% in the second year. The credit facilities were secured by substantially all of our assets and contain customary events of default and financial and other covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make capital expenditures, pay dividends or make other distributions, create liens and sell assets.
 
All amounts outstanding under our July 2005 credit agreement were paid off with the proceeds of our senior notes offering in January 2006. We executed an amended and restated credit agreement which provides a $25.0 million revolving line of credit (See Note 22).
 
Prior to July 11, 2005, we had a credit agreement dated December 7, 2004 that provided for the following credit facilities:
 
  •  A $10.0 million revolving line of credit. Borrowings were limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivables, as defined. Outstanding borrowings under this line of credit were $2.4 million as of December 31, 2004.
 
  •  A term loan in the amount of $6.3 million to be repaid in monthly payments of principal of $105,583 per month. We were also required to prepay this term loan by an amount equal to 20% of receipts from our largest customer in Mexico. Proceeds of the term loan were used to prepay the term loan owed by Tubular Services and to prepay the 12% $2.4 million subordinated note and retire its related warrants. The outstanding balance was $6.3 million as of December 31, 2004.
 
  •  A $6.0 million capital expenditure and acquisition line of credit. Borrowings under this facility were payable monthly over four years beginning in January 2006. Availability of this capital expenditure term loan facility was subject to security acceptable to the lender in the form of equipment or other acquired collateral. There were no outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2004.
 
These credit facilities were to mature on December 31, 2007 and were secured by liens on substantially all of our assets. The agreement governing these credit facilities contained customary events of default and financial covenants. It also limited our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make capital expenditures, pay dividends or make other distributions, create liens and sell assets. Interest accrued at an adjustable rate based on the prime rate and was 6.25% as of December 31, 2004. We paid a 0.5% per annum fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving line of credit and the capital expenditure line.

In connection with the acquisition of Tubular and Strata in 2002, we issued a 12% secured subordinated note in the original amount of $3.0 million. In connection with this subordinated note, we issued redeemable warrants valued at $1.5 million, which were recorded as a discount to the subordinated debt and as a liability. The discount was amortized over the life of the subordinated note beginning February 6, 2002 as additional interest expense of which $350,000 and $300,000 were recognized in the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The debt was recorded at $2.7 million at December 31, 2003, net of the unamortized portion of the put obligation. On December 7, 2004, we prepaid the $2.4 million balance of the 12% subordinated note and retired the $1.5 million of warrants, with a portion of the proceeds from our $6.3 million bank term loan.
 
Prior to July 11, 2005, our AirComp subsidiary had the credit facilities described below. These credit facilities were repaid in connection with our acquisition of the minority interest in AirComp and the refinancing of our bank credit facilities described above.
 
  •  A $3.5 million bank line of credit. Interest accrued at an adjustable rate based on the prime rate. We paid a 0.5% per annum fee on the undrawn portion. Borrowings under the line of credit were subject to a borrowing base consisting of 80% of eligible accounts receivable. The balance at December 31, 2004 was $1.5 million.
 
  •  A $7.1 million term loan that accrued interest at an adjustable rate based on either LIBOR or the prime rate. Principal payments of $286,000 plus interest were due quarterly, with a final maturity date of June 27, 2007. The balance at December 31, 2004 was $6.8 million.
 
  •  A “delayed draw” term loan facility in the amount of $1.5 million to be used for capital expenditures. Interest accrued at an adjustable rate based on either the LIBOR or the prime rate. Quarterly principal payments were to commence on March 31, 2006 in an amount equal to 5.0% of the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2005, with a final maturity of June 27, 2007. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 2004.
 
The AirComp credit facilities were secured by liens on substantially all of AirComp’s assets. The agreement governing these credit facilities contained customary events of default and required that AirComp satisfy various financial covenants. It also limited AirComp’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make capital expenditures, pay dividends or make other distributions, create liens and sell assets. We guaranteed 55% of the obligations of AirComp under these facilities.
 
Tubular had two bank term loans with a remaining balance totaling $90,000 and $263,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, with interest accruing at a floating interest rate based on prime plus 2.0%. The interest rate was 9.25% and 7.25% at December 31, 2005 and 2004. Monthly principal payments are $13,000 plus interest. The maturity date of one of the loans, with a balance of $60,000, was September 17, 2006, while the second loan, with a balance of $30,000, had a final maturity of January 12, 2007. The balances of these two loans were repaid in full in January 2006 with the proceeds from our senior notes offering.
 
Notes payable and real estate loan
 
AirComp had a subordinated note payable to M-I in the amount of $4.8 million bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0%. In 2007 each party had the right to cause AirComp to sell its assets (or the other party may buy out such party’s interest), and in such event this note (including accrued interest) was due and payable. The note was also due and payable if M-I sells its interest in AirComp or upon a termination of AirComp. At December 31, 2004, $376,000 of interest was included in accrued interest. On July 11, 2005, we acquired from M-I its 45% equity interest in AirComp and the subordinated note in the principal amount of $4.8 million issued by AirComp, for which we paid M-I $7.1 million in cash and issued a new $4.0 million subordinated note bearing interest at 5% per annum. The subordinated note issued to M-I requires quarterly interest payments and the principal amount is due October 9, 2007. Contingent upon a future equity offering,

Tubular had a subordinated note payable to Jens Mortensen, the seller of Tubular and one of our directors, in the amount of $4.0 million with a fixed interest rate of 7.5%. Interest was payable quarterly and the final maturity of the note is January 31, 2006. The subordinated note was subordinated to the rights of our bank lenders. The balance outstanding for this note at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $3.0 and $4.0 million, respectively. The balance of this subordinated note was repaid in full in January 2006 with proceeds from our senior notes offering.
 
As part of the acquisition of Mountain Air in 2001, we issued a note to the sellers of Mountain Air in the original amount of $2.2 million accruing interest at a rate of 5.75% per annum. The note was reduced to $1.5 million as a result of the settlement of a legal action against the sellers in 2003. In March 2005, we reached an agreement with the sellers and holders of the note as a result of an action brought against us by the sellers. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid the holders of the note $1.0 million in cash, and agreed to pay an additional $350,000 on June 1, 2006, and an additional $150,000 on June 1, 2007, in settlement of all claims.

NOTE 10 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
In connection with the formation of AirComp in July 2003, we eliminated $955,000 of our negative investment in the assets contributed to AirComp. Under purchase accounting, we recognized a $955,000 increase in stockholders equity. For the year ended December 31, 2003, we accrued $350,000 of dividends payable to the Preferred Stock holders. No dividends were declared or paid.
 
On March 3, 2004, we entered into an agreement with an investment banking firm whereby they would provide underwriting and fundraising activities on our behalf. In exchange for their services, the investment banking firm received a stock purchase warrant to purchase 340,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The warrant was exercised in August of 2005. The fair value of the total warrants issued in connection with the fundraising activities was established in accordance with the Black-Scholes valuation model and as a result, $641,000 was added to stockholders’ equity. The following assumptions were utilized to determine fair value: no dividend yield; expected volatility of 89.7%; risk free interest rate of 7.00%; and expected life of five years.
 
During 2004, we issued two warrants (“Warrants A and B”) for the purchase of 233,000 total shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and one warrant for the purchase of 67,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share (“Warrant C”) in connection with their

subordinated debt financing. Warrants A and B were redeemed for a total of $1,500,000 on December 7, 2004. The fair value of Warrant C was established in accordance with the Black-Scholes valuation model and as a result, $47,000 was added to stockholders’ equity. The following assumptions were utilized to determine fair value: no dividend yield; expected volatility of 67.24%; risk free interest rate of 5.00%; and expected life of four years.
 
On April 2, 2004, we completed the following transactions:
 
  •  In exchange for an investment of $2.0 million, we issued 620,000 shares of our common stock for a purchase price equal to $2.50 per share, and issued warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, expiring on April 1, 2006, to an investor group (the “Investor Group”) consisting of entities affiliated with Donald and Christopher Engel and directors Robert Nederlander and Leonard Toboroff. The aggregate purchase price for the common stock was $1.55 million and the fair value for the warrants was $450,000.
 
  •  Energy Spectrum converted its 3,500,000 shares of Series A 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, including accrued dividend rights, into 1,718,090 shares of common stock. Energy Spectrum was granted the preferred stock in connection with the Strata acquisition.

On September 30, 2004, we issued 1.3 million shares of common stock to Jens Mortensen, a director, in exchange for his 19% interest in Tubular. As a result of this transaction, we own 100% of Tubular. The total value of the consideration paid to Jens was $6.4 million, which was equal to the number of shares of common stock issued to Mr. Mortensen multiplied by the last sale price ($4.95) of the common stock as reported on the American Stock Exchange on the date of issuance. This amount was treated as a contribution to stockholders equity.

In August 2005, our stockholders approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 20 million to 100 million and to increase our authorized preferred stock from 10 million shares to 25 million shares and, we completed a secondary public offering in which we sold 1,761,034 shares for approximately $15.5 million, net of expenses.
 
We also had options and warrants exercised during 2005. Those exercises resulted in 1,076,154 shares of our common stock being issued for $1.4 million.
 
NOTE 11 — REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
 
We effected a reverse stock split on June 10, 2004. As a result of the reverse stock split, every five shares of our common stock was combined into one share of common stock. The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of outstanding common stock from 31,393,789 to approximately 6,265,000 and reduced the number of our stockholders from 6,070 to approximately 2,140. All share and related amounts presented have been retroactively adjusted for the stock split.
 
NOTE 12 — STOCK OPTIONS
 
In 2000, we issued stock options and promissory notes to certain current and former directors as compensation for services as directors (See Note 8), and our Board of Directors granted stock options to these same individuals. Options to purchase 4,800 shares of our common stock were granted with an exercise price of $13.75 per share. These options vested immediately and may be exercised any time prior to March 28, 2010. As of December 31, 2005, none of the stock options had been exercised. No compensation expense has been recorded for these options that were issued with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the common stock at the date of grant.

We recorded compensation expense of $500,000 for the issuance of the option for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
The 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended, permits us to grant to our key employees and outside directors various forms of stock incentives, including, among others, incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock. Stock incentive terms are not to be in excess of ten years. As disclosed in Note 1, we account for our stock-based compensation using APB No. 25.

NOTE 13 — STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
 
In conjunction with the Mountain Air purchase by OilQuip in February of 2001, Mountain Air issued a common stock warrant for 620,000 shares to a third-party investment firm that assisted us in its initial identification and purchase of the Mountain Air assets. The warrant entitles the holder to acquire up to 620,000 shares of common stock of Mountain Air at an exercise price of $.01 per share over a nine-year period commencing on February 7, 2001. The fair value of the warrants was established in accordance with the Black-Scholes valuation model and as a result $200,000 was added to stockholders’ equity.
 
We issued two warrants (“Warrants A and B”) for the purchase of 233,000 total shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and one warrant for the purchase of 67,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share (“Warrant C”) in connection with our subordinated debt financing for Mountain Air in 2001. Warrants A and B were subject to cash redemption provisions (“puts”) of $600,000 and $900,000, respectively. The warrants were recorded at their redemption value and were recorded as a discount to the subordinated debt and as a liability. The discount was amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the debt instrument. The fair value of Warrant C was established in accordance with the Black-Scholes valuation model and as a result $47,000 was added to stockholders’ equity. Warrant C is still outstanding at December 31, 2005.
 
On February 6, 2002, in connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the outstanding stock of Strata, we issued a warrant for the purchase of 87,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share over the term of four years. The fair value of the warrant was established in accordance with


36

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

the Black-Scholes valuation model and as a result $267,000 was added to stockholders’ equity. The warrants were exercised and sold in our August 2005 public offering.
 
In connection with the Strata Acquisition, on February 19, 2003, we issued Energy Spectrum an additional warrant to purchase 175,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The fair value of the warrant was established in accordance with the Black-Scholes valuation model and as a result $306,000 was added to stockholders’ equity. This transaction was recorded similar to a preferred share dividend. The warrants were exercised and sold in our August 2005 public offering.
 
In March 2004, we issued a warrant to purchase 340,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share to Morgan Joseph & Co., in consideration of financial advisory services provided by Morgan Joseph pursuant to the April 2004 private placement. The fair value of the warrants was established in accordance with the Black-Scholes valuation model and as a result $626,000 was included as a cost of the private placement and an increase in stockholders’ equity. The warrants were exercised and sold in our August 2005 public offering.
 
In April 2004, we issued warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share to Wells Fargo Credit, Inc., in connection with the extension of credit by Wells Fargo Credit Inc. The fair value of the warrants was established in accordance with the Black-Scholes valuation model and as a result $48,000 was added to stockholders’ equity. The related debt discount was amortized over the life of the credit agreement. The warrants were exercised in our August 2005 public offering.
 
In April 2004, we completed a private placement of 620,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock to the following investors: Christopher Engel; Donald Engel; the Engel Defined Benefit Plan; RER Corp., a corporation wholly-owned by director Robert Nederlander; and Leonard Toboroff, a director. The investors invested $1,550,000 in exchange for 620,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price equal to $2.50 per share, and invested $450,000 in exchange for warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock at an exercise of $2.50 per share, expiring on April 1, 2006. A total of 486,557 of these warrants were exercised in 2005.
 
In May 2004, we issued a warrant to purchase 3,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.75 per share to Jeffrey R. Freedman in consideration of financial advisory services to be provided by Mr. Freedman pursuant to a consulting agreement. The warrants were exercised in May 2004. Mr. Freedman was also granted 16,000 warrants in May of 2004 exercisable at $4.65 per share. These warrants were exercised in November of 2005.
 
Warrants for 4,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.65 were also issued in May 2004 and remain outstanding as of December 31, 2005.
 
NOTE 14 — LEASE RECEIVABLE
 
In June 2002, our subsidiary, Strata, sold its MWD assets to a third party for $1.3 million. Under the terms of the sale, we would receive at least $15,000 per month for thirty-six months. After thirty-six months, the purchaser had the option to pay the remaining balance or continue paying a minimum of $15,000 per month for twenty-four additional months. After the expiration of the additional twenty-four months, the purchaser would repay any remaining balance. This transaction had been accounted for as a direct financing lease with the nominal residual gain from the asset sale deferred into income over the life of the lease. In August of 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of the buyer and the balance of the lease receivable was part of the consideration of the acquisition. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, we received a total of $146,000, $229,000, and $251,000, respectively, in payments from the third party related to this lease.

NOTE 15 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
In July 2005, we entered into a lease of a yard in Buffalo, Texas which is part owned by our Chief Operating Officer, David Wilde. The monthly rent is $3,500.
 
Alya H. Hidayatallah, the daughter of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Munawar H. Hidayatallah, has served as our Vice President-Planning and Development since April 2005. In 2005, we paid Ms. Hidayatallah a salary at a rate of $80,000 per annum.
 
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, we owed our Chief Executive Officer, $0 and $175,000, respectively, related to deferred compensation. In March and April of 2005 we paid all amounts due Mr. Hidayatallah.
 
Until December 2004, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Munawar H. Hidayatallah and his wife were personal guarantors of substantially all of the financing extended to us by commercial banks. In December 2004, we refinanced most of our outstanding bank debt and obtained the release of certain guarantees. After the refinancing, Mr. Hidayatallah continued to guarantee the Tubular $4.0 million subordinated seller note until July 2005. We paid Mr. Hidayatallah an annual guarantee fee equal to one-quarter of one percent of the total amount of the debt guaranteed by Mr. Hidayatallah. These fees aggregated to $7,250 during 2005 and were paid quarterly, in arrears, based upon the average amount of debt outstanding in the prior quarter.
 
In April 2004, we entered into an oral consulting agreement with Leonard Toboroff, one of our directors, pursuant to which we pay him $10,000 per month to advise us regarding financing and acquisition opportunities.
 
Jens Mortensen, one of our directors, is the former owner of Tubular and held a 19% minority interest in Tubular until September 30, 2004. He was also the holder of a $4.0 million subordinated note payable issued by Tubular and at December 31, 2005 was owed $60,000 in accrued interest and $267,000 related to a non-compete agreement. (See Note 8). The subordinated note was repaid in January of 2006 (See Note 22) and the accrued interest was paid in January 2006. Mr. Mortensen, formerly the sole proprietor of Tubular, owns a shop yard which he leases to Jens’ on a monthly basis. Lease payments made under the terms of the lease were $16,800, $28,800 and $28,800 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, Mr. Mortensen and members of his family own 100% of Tex-Mex Rental & Supply Co., a Texas corporation, that sold approximately $0, $167,000 and $173,000 of equipment and other supplies to Tubular for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
 
As described in Note 8, several of our former directors were issued promissory notes in 2000 in lieu of compensation for services. Our current maturities of long-term debt includes $96,000 and $402,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, relative to these notes.
 
NOTE 16 — SETTLEMENT OF LAWSUIT
 
In June 2003, our subsidiary, Mountain Air, filed a lawsuit against the former owners of Mountain Air Drilling Service Company for breach of the asset purchase agreement pursuant to which Mountain Air acquired Mountain Air Drilling Services Company, alleging that the sellers stored hazardous materials on the property leased by us without our consent and violated the non-compete clause in the asset purchase agreement. On July 15, 2003, we entered into a settlement agreement with the sellers. As of the date of the agreement, we owed the sellers a total of $2.6 million including $2.2 million in principal and approximately $363,000 in accrued interest. As part of the settlement agreement, the note payable to the sellers was reduced from $2.2 million to $1.5 million and the due date of the note payable was extended from February 6, 2006 to September 30, 2007. The lump-sum payment due the sellers at that date was $1.9 million. We recorded a one-time gain on the reduction of the note payable to the sellers of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2003. The gain was calculated by discounting the note payable to $1.5 million using a present value calculation and

accreting the note payable to $1.9 million the amount due in September 2007. In March 2005, we reached an agreement with the sellers to settle an action brought by the sellers under the note. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid $1.0 million in April of 2005 and will pay $350,000 on June 1, 2006 and the remaining $150,000 on June 1, 2007, in settlement of all claims.
 
NOTE 17 — GAIN ON SALE OF INTEREST IN A SUBSIDIARY
 
In July 2003, through the subsidiary Mountain Air, we entered into a limited liability company operating agreement with a division of M-I to form a Texas limited liability company named AirComp. Both companies contributed assets with a combined value of $16.6 million to AirComp. The contributed assets from Mountain Air were contributed at a historical book value of approximately $6.3 million and the assets contributed by M-I were contributed at a fair market value of approximately $10.3 million. Prior to the formation of AirComp, we owned 100% of Mountain Air and after the formation of AirComp, Mountain Air owned 55% and M-I owned 45% of the business combination. The business combination was accounted for as a purchase and we recorded a one-time non-operating gain on the sale of the 45% interest in the subsidiary of approximately $2,433,000. The gain was calculated after recording the assets contributed by M-I of approximately $10.3 million less the subordinated note issued to M-I in the amount of approximately $4.8 million, recording minority interest of approximately $2,049,000 and an increase in equity of $955,000 in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51 (“SAB 51”). We have not recorded any deferred income taxes because the increase in assets and gain is a permanent timing difference. We have adopted a policy that any gain or loss in the future incurred on the sale in the stock or an interest of a subsidiary would be recognized as such in the income statement.

We are named from time to time in legal proceedings related to our activities prior to our bankruptcy in 1988; however, we believe that we were discharged from liability for all such claims in the bankruptcy and believe the likelihood of a material loss relating to any such legal proceeding is remote.
 
We are involved in various other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The legal proceedings are at different stages; however, we believe that the likelihood of material loss relating to any such legal proceeding is remote.
 
NOTE 22 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
In January of 2006, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Specialty Rental Tools, Inc. (“Specialty”) for $96.0 million in cash. Specialty, located in Lafayette, Louisiana, is engaged in the rental of high quality drill pipe, heavy weight spiral drill pipe, tubing work strings, blow-out preventors, choke manifolds and various valves and handling tools for oil and natural gas drilling. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, Specialty generated aggregate revenues of $21.8 million.

In January of 2006, we closed on a private offering, to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, of $160.0 million principal amount of our 9.0% senior notes due 2014, which we refer to as our senior notes. The proceeds of the offering were used to fund the acquisition of Specialty, to repay existing debt and for general corporate purposes.
 
In January of 2006, we amended and restated our July 2005 credit agreement to increase our borrowing capacity by exchanging the existing two year $55.0 million facility for a new four year $25.0 million facility. We refer to the July 2005 credit agreement, as so amended and restated, as our new credit agreement. All amounts outstanding under the previous $55.0 million credit facility were repaid with proceeds from the issuance of our senior notes. The new credit agreement’s interest rate is based on a margin over LIBOR or the prime rate, and there is a 0.5% fee for the undrawn portion. The credit facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets.
 
In January 2006, with proceeds from the sale of our senior notes we also prepaid the $3.0 million subordinated seller note due to Jens Mortensen, the $548,000 real estate loan and $430,000 in various outstanding term and equipment loans.
 
In February of 2006, David Groshoff resigned from our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee. Mr. Groshoff served on our Board since 1999, initially under an agreement on behalf of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, which is a client of Mr. Groshoff’s employer. That agreement permitted the PBGC to appoint a member to our Board so long as the PBGC held a minimum number of shares of our stock. The PBGC sold all its holdings in our stock in August 2005. As an investment management employee of JPMorgan Asset Management, Mr. Groshoff is subject to his employer’s policies which generally prohibit employees from serving on public company boards of directors without a meaningful client interest in such companies. In light of the PBGC’s sale of our stock, these policies required Mr. Groshoff’s resignation from our Board. In March 2006, Robert Nederlander was appointed to the Audit Committee to replace Mr. Groshoff.
 
Through March 13, 2006, we received proceeds of approximately $784,000 from the exercise of 313,000 warrants.
