ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
       The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. You should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any other documents to which we have referred you. We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We are not, and the underwriters are not, making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.
      This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. You should read this prospectus together with the registration statement, the exhibits thereto and the additional information described under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference.”

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
       This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, these are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. Although forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus reflect our good faith judgment, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known to us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. Further information about the risks and uncertainties that may impact us are described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9. You should read that section carefully. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance occurring after the date of this prospectus or currently unknown facts or conditions or the occurrence of unanticipated events.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
       The SEC has adopted rules to regulate the use of “non-GAAP financial measures” such as EBITDA, that are derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that complies with the Securities Act regulations when it is defined as net income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define EBITDA in this prospectus accordingly.
      EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, EBITDA:
  •  does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
 
  •  does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
 
  •  does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts; and
 
  •  does not reflect the effect of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations.
      In addition, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. Other companies in our industry and in other industries may calculate EBITDA differently from the way that we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA only supplementally.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA
       We have obtained some industry and market share data from third-party sources that we believe are reliable. In many cases, however, we have made statements in this prospectus (or in documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus) regarding our industry and our position in the industry based on estimates made based on our experience in the industry and our own investigation of market conditions. We believe these estimates to be accurate as of the date of this prospectus. However, this information may prove to be inaccurate because of the method by which we obtained some of the data for our estimates or because this information cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties. As a result, you should be aware that the industry and market data included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and estimates and beliefs based on that data, may not be reliable. We cannot, and the underwriters cannot, guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any such information.

Table of Contents

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
       This summary is not complete. It highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the information under the heading “Risk Factors,” our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this prospectus to “Allis-Chalmers,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “ours” refer to Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc., together with its subsidiaries, but not including DLS. References in this prospectus to “DLS” refer to DLS Drilling Logistics & Services Corporation and its subsidiaries. In this prospectus, we present pro forma as adjusted financial information giving effect to the DLS transactions and the Specialty transactions. When we refer to the DLS transactions, we mean our pending acquisition of DLS and the related financing of that acquisition and repayment of obligations outstanding under a subordinated note payable to M-I LLC with the proceeds of this stock offering and a concurrent debt financing of approximately $80.0 million. When we refer to the Specialty transactions, we mean our acquisition of Specialty Rental Tools, Inc., or Specialty, and the related financing of that acquisition and repayment of obligations outstanding under our credit facility with the proceeds from our $160.0 million offering of senior notes, which closed in January 2006.
Our Company
       We are a multi-faceted oilfield services company that provides services and equipment to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, domestically in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Utah, Wyoming, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, and internationally in Mexico.
      The principal purpose of this offering is to raise a portion of the cash consideration for our pending DLS acquisition, described below. Giving pro forma as adjusted effect to the recent Specialty transactions, our recent acquisitions of Rogers Oil Tool Services, Inc., Delta Rental Service, Inc., Capcoil Tubing Services, Inc., W.T. Enterprises, Inc., the minority interest of M-I LLC in AirComp LLC and the pending DLS transactions, we would have generated revenues of $281.3 million, net income of $8.2 million and EBITDA of $68.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Giving pro forma as adjusted effect to the recent Rogers and the pending DLS transactions, we would have generated revenues of $87.9 million, net income of $7.5 million and EBITDA of $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Acquisition of DLS
      We have entered into a stock purchase agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of DLS, a leading provider of drilling, completion, repair and related services for oil and gas wells in Argentina. For the year ended December 31, 2005, DLS had aggregate revenues of $129.8 million and income from operations of $12.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, DLS had aggregate revenues of $38.8 million and income from operations of $5.1 million. The stock purchase agreement provides that the purchase price will consist of cash consideration in the amount of $102.4 million and 2.5 million newly issued shares of our common stock. However, under the stock purchase agreement, we plan to reduce the cash consideration to $93.2 million, in consideration for DLS retaining $9.1 million of its currently existing indebtedness. The principal purpose of this offering is to raise a portion of the cash component of the purchase price. We expect to raise the remainder of the cash necessary to complete the acquisition through a debt financing of approximately $80.0 million. The stock purchase agreement also contemplates that upon closing of the acquisition we will enter into an investors rights agreement, providing, among other things, that the sellers of DLS will have the right to designate two nominees for election to our board of directors.

Table of Contents

      With approximately 1,566 employees, DLS operates a fleet of 51 rigs, including 20 drilling rigs, 18 workover rigs and 12 pulling rigs in Argentina and one drilling rig in Bolivia. We believe that the ability to offer drilling rigs is very important in the international marketplace, and we expect this acquisition to further diversify our business mix by balancing our predominately natural gas based operations in the United States with primarily oil based drilling operations in Argentina. The integration of DLS’ operations into Allis-Chalmers will significantly expand our geographic footprint, increase our menu of service offerings and we anticipate that it will also increase our opportunities to cross-sell existing Allis-Chalmers products and services.
Business Segments
      Prior to our acquisition of DLS, our existing five business segments are:
      Directional Drilling Services. We employ approximately 75 full-time directional drillers utilizing state-of-the-art equipment for well planning and engineering services, directional drilling packages, downhole motor technology, well site directional supervision, exploratory and development re-entry drilling, downhole guidance services and other drilling services, including, logging-while-drilling and measurement-while-drilling services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, our directional drilling services segment had revenues of $43.9 million and income from operations of $7.4 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, our directional drilling services segment had revenues of $15.1 million and income from operations of $2.6 million.
      Rental Tools. We provide specialized rental equipment, including premium drill pipe, heavy weight spiral drill pipe, tubing work strings, blow out preventors, choke manifolds and various valves and handling tools, for both onshore and offshore well drilling, completion and workover operations. For the year ended December 31, 2005, our rental tools segment had revenues of $5.1 million and income from operations of $1.3 million. After giving pro forma effect to the Specialty acquisition and our acquisition of Delta Rental Service, Inc., for the year ended December 31, 2005, our rental tools segment would have had revenues of $38.6 million and income from operations of $11.9 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, our rental tools segment had revenues of $10.4 million and income from operations of $5.0 million.
      Casing and Tubing Services. We provide specialized equipment and trained operators for a variety of pipe handling services, including installing casing and tubing, changing out drill pipe and retrieving production tubing for both onshore and offshore drilling and workover operations. For the year ended December 31, 2005, our casing and tubing services segment had revenues of $20.9 million and income from operations of $5.0 million. After giving pro forma effect to the Rogers acquisition, for the year ended December 31, 2005, our casing and tubing services segment would have had revenues of $29.3 million and income from operations of $5.9 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, our casing and tubing services segment had revenues of $9.5 million and income from operations of $1.9 million. After giving pro forma effect to the Rogers acquisition, for the three months ended March 31, 2006, our casing and tubing services segment would have had revenues of $11.5 million and income from operations of $1.9 million.
      Compressed Air Drilling Services. We provide compressed air equipment, drilling bits, hammers, drilling chemicals and other specialized drilling products for underbalanced drilling applications. With a combined fleet of over 130 compressors and boosters, we believe we are one of the largest providers of compressed air or underbalanced drilling services in the United States. For the year ended December 31, 2005, our compressed air drilling services segment had revenues of $25.7 million and income from operations of $5.6 million. After giving pro forma effect to our acquisition of W. T. Enterprises, Inc., for the year ended December 31, 2005, our compressed air drilling services segment would have had

Table of Contents

revenues of $27.8 million and income from operations of $5.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, our compressed air drilling services segment had revenues of $9.1 million and income from operations of $2.2 million.
      Production Services. We provide specialized equipment and trained operators to install and retrieve capillary tubing, through which chemicals are injected into producing wells to increase production and reduce corrosion, and workover services with coiled tubing units. For the year ended December 31, 2005, our production services segment had revenues of $9.8 million and a loss from operations of $99,000. After giving pro forma effect to our acquisition of Capcoil Tubing Services, Inc., for the year ended December 31, 2005, our production services segment would have had revenues of $12.0 million and breakeven income for operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, our production services segment had revenues of $3.0 million and income from operations of $277,000.
      In addition to the businesses mentioned above, we plan to enter into the contract drilling and repair services business in Argentina and Bolivia upon completion of our acquisition of DLS.
Competitive Strengths
      Our competitive strengths are:
      Strategic position in high growth markets. We focus on markets we believe are growing faster than the overall oilfield services industry. We are a leading provider of products and services in directional drilling and air drilling, which we believe to be two of the fastest growing segments of the oilfield services industry.
      Strong relationships with diversified customer base. We have strong relationships with many of the major and independent oil and natural gas producers and service companies in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Utah, Wyoming, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico. Our largest customers include Burlington Resources, ConocoPhilips, BP, ChevronTexaco, Kerr-McGee, Dominion Resources, Remington Oil and Gas, Petrohawk Energy, Newfield Exploration, El Paso Corporation, Materiales y Equipo Petroleo S.A. de C.V. and Anadarko Petroleum.
      Successful execution of growth strategy. Over the past five years, we have grown both organically and through successful acquisitions of competing businesses. Since 2001, we have completed 15 acquisitions. We strive to improve the operating performance of our acquired businesses by increasing their asset utilization and operating efficiency.
      Experienced and dedicated management team. Our executive management team has extensive experience in the energy sector, and consequently has developed strong and longstanding relationships with many of the major and independent exploration and production companies.
Business Strategy
      Expand geographically to provide greater access and service to key customer segments. We have recently opened new locations in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma and Louisiana in order to enhance our proximity to customers and more efficiently serve their needs. We plan to continue to establish new locations in the United States and internationally.
      Prudently pursue strategic acquisitions. To complement our organic growth, we seek to opportunistically complete, at attractive valuations, strategic acquisitions that will be accretive to earnings and complement our products and services, expand our geographic footprint and market presence, and further diversify our customer base.

3


Table of Contents

      Expand products and services provided in existing operating locations. Since the beginning of 2003, we have made approximately $35.3 million in capital expenditures to grow our business organically by expanding our product and service offerings.
      Increase utilization of assets. We seek to grow revenues and enhance margins by continuing to increase the utilization of our rental assets with new and existing customers.
      Target services in which we have a competitive advantage. We believe consolidation in the oilfield services industry has created an opportunity for us to compete effectively in markets that are underserved by the large oilfield services and equipment companies.
Recent Developments
     Amendments to Credit Agreement
      In conjunction with this offering and the pending acquisition of DLS, we expect to amend the credit agreement governing our $25.0 million credit facility to, among other things, provide for the acquisition of DLS, permit the net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent issuance of an additional $80.0 million of our senior notes to be used for the acquisition of DLS, increase the sub-limit for the issuance of stand-by letters of credit, increase permitted capital expenditures and increase permitted indebtedness at DLS.
      Second Quarter 2006 Results — Allis-Chalmers
      On July 20, 2006, we announced our results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
      Revenues for the second quarter 2006 rose 156.4% to $60.5 million compared to $23.6 million for the second quarter of 2005. The solid growth in revenues was due to continued success with integrating recent acquisitions while expanding operating locations, personnel and equipment and growing our customer base in response to strong demand for our products and services.
      Income from operations grew 444.6%, which was substantially higher than the percentage growth in revenues, to $15.9 million for second quarter 2006, from $2.9 million in last year’s second quarter.
      Net income for the second quarter of 2006 attributed to common shares increased 442.3% to $9.6 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2005. Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on a diluted basis increased to 19.1 million shares for the second quarter of 2006 from 15.1 million shares for the second quarter of 2005.
      EBITDA increased 396.8% to $20.4 million for the second quarter of 2006, from $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2005.
      EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The following table reconciles our net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA:

      Revenue for the first six months of 2006 rose 150.4% to $107.5 million compared to $42.9 million for the first six months of 2005. Income from operations grew to $24.5 million in 2006 from $5.2 million during the comparable six months in 2005, representing a 374.8% increase. Net income for the first six months of 2006 rose 320.2% to $14.0 million, or $0.74 per diluted shares, from net income of $3.3 million or $0.22 per diluted share in the first six months of 2005. Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on a diluted basis increased to 19.0 million shares for the six month period of 2006 from 14.9 million shares for the same period of 2005.
      Second Quarter 2006 Results — DLS
      DLS has informed us that its preliminary, estimated, unaudited results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 included revenues of $43.2 million, income from operations of $6.3 million, net income of $2.7 million and EBITDA of $8.4 million. These results are preliminary and DLS’ actual results for the second quarter of 2006 may differ from these expectations. Moreover, DLS’ results from the second quarter of 2006 and these estimates have not been examined by DLS’ independent registered public accounting firm, which does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

(1)  “EBITDA” is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
 
(2)  “EBITDA,” as used and defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, our management believes EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because this measure:
  •  is widely used by investors in the energy industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such term, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;

Table of Contents

  •  helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure and asset base from our operating structure; and
 
  •  is used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to our board of directors, as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting, and as a component for setting incentive compensation.
  There are significant limitations to using EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect our net income or loss, and the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies. The following table reconciles our net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA:

RISK FACTORS
       You should carefully consider the following risks before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. If this occurs, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock. Although the risks described below are the risks that we believe are material, they are not the only risks relating to our business and our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that are not yet identified or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Risks Associated With Our Company
We may fail to acquire additional businesses, which will restrict our growth and may result in a decrease in our stock price.
      Our business strategy is to acquire companies operating in the oilfield services industry. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring any additional companies. Successful acquisition of new companies will depend on various factors, including but not limited to:
  •  our ability to obtain financing;
 
  •  the competitive environment for acquisitions; and
 
  •  the integration and synergy issues described in the next risk factor.
      There can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire and successfully operate any particular business or that we will be able to expand into areas that we have targeted. The price of the common stock may fall if we fail to acquire additional businesses.
Difficulties in integrating acquired businesses may result in reduced revenues and income.
      We may not be able to successfully integrate the businesses of our operating subsidiaries or any business we may acquire in the future. The integration of the businesses will be complex and time consuming, will place a significant strain on management and our information systems, and this strain could disrupt our businesses. Furthermore, if our combined businesses continue to grow rapidly, we may be required to replace our current information and accounting systems with systems designed for companies that are larger than ours. We may be adversely impacted by unknown liabilities of acquired businesses. We may encounter substantial difficulties, costs and delays involved in integrating common accounting, information and communication systems, operating procedures, internal controls and human resources practices, including incompatibility of business cultures and the loss of key employees and customers. These difficulties may reduce our ability to gain customers or retain existing customers, and may increase operating expenses, resulting in reduced revenues and income and a failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions.
      In particular, our pending acquisition of DLS and our recent acquisition of Specialty will be our two largest acquisitions to date and may pose greater integration risks than our previous acquisitions. We will be conducting parts of the integration of these two companies simultaneously, and as a result we could strain our current resources. Furthermore, by financing part or all of these acquisitions with proceeds from the offering of our senior notes, we will depend on these entities’ continued performance as a source of cash flow to service our debt obligations.

Table of Contents

      We have made numerous acquisitions during the past five years. As a result of these transactions, our past performance is not indicative of future performance, and investors should not base their expectations as to our future performance on our historical results.
We anticipate that our pending acquisition of DLS will substantially change the nature of our operations and business.
      We anticipate that our pending acquisition of DLS will substantially change the nature and geographic location of our operations and business as a result of the character and location of DLS’ businesses, which have substantially different operating characteristics and are in different geographic locations from our existing businesses. Prior to our pending acquisition of DLS, we have operated as an oilfield services company domestically in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Utah, Wyoming, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, and internationally in Mexico. DLS’ business is located primarily in Argentina, and we have no significant operations in South America. Accordingly, this acquisition will subject us to risks inherent in operating in a foreign country where we do not have significant prior experience. DLS’ business consists of employing drilling and workover rigs for drilling, completion and repair services for oil and gas wells, and we do not currently own any drilling rigs or workover rigs, and have not historically provided such services. Consequently, we may not be able to realize the economic benefits of this acquisition as efficiently as in our prior acquisitions, if at all.
Failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and/or internal controls over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
      As disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Restatement,” 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Management has concluded that the need to restate our financial statements resulted, in part, from the lack of sufficient experienced accounting personnel, which in turn resulted in a lack of effective control over the financial reporting process.
      In addition, as part of our growth strategy, we have recently completed several acquisitions of privately-held businesses, including closely-held entities, and in the future, we may make additional strategic acquisitions of privately-held businesses. Prior to becoming part of our consolidated company, these acquired businesses have not been required to implement or maintain the disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting that federal law requires of publicly-held companies such as ours. Similarly, it is likely that our future acquired businesses will not have been required to maintain such disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls prior to their acquisition. We are in the process of creating and implementing appropriate disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting at each of our recently acquired businesses. However, we have not yet completed this process and cannot assure you as to when the process will be complete. Likewise, upon the completion of any future acquisition (including our pending acquisition of DLS), we will be required to integrate the acquired business into our consolidated company’s system of disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, but we cannot assure

11


Table of Contents

you as to how long the integration process may take for any business that we may acquire. Furthermore, during the integration process, we may not be able to fully implement our consolidated disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting. With respect to our pending acquisition of DLS, this risk is exacerbated by DLS’ relative size, when compared to the rest of our consolidated company.
      Also, during the fourth quarter of 2005, we failed to timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with recent stock option and warrant exercises. The current report, which was due to be filed in November 2005, was filed in February 2006.
      As a result of the issues described above, our management has concluded that, as of the end of the periods covered by the restatements and as of December 31, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to enable us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our SEC filings within the required time periods, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and reported to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
      As more fully described below under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Restatement,” we have implemented a number of actions that we believe address the existing deficiencies in our financial reporting process and will improve our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting. However, we cannot yet assert that the remediation is or will be effective as we have not yet had sufficient time to test the newly implemented actions. We are in the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors addressing these assessments. We have also retained the services of an independent consultant to assist us with the documenting and testing process. During the course of our testing we may identify deficiencies and/or one or more material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by SEC rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404.
      Likewise, during the course of our integration of any acquired business (including DLS), we may identify needed improvements to our or such acquired business’ internal controls and may be required to design enhanced processes and controls in order to make such improvements. This could result in significant delays and costs to us and could require us to divert substantial resources, including management time, from other activities.
      If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our disclosure controls and procedures and/or our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to conclude that we have effective disclosure controls and procedures and/or effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If:
  •  we are not successful in improving our financial reporting process, our disclosure controls and procedures and/or our internal controls over financial reporting;
 
  •  we identify deficiencies and/or one or more material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting; or
 
  •  we are not successful in integrating acquired businesses (such as DLS) into our consolidated company’s system of disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting,

then our independent registered public accounting firm may be unable to attest that our management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting is fairly stated, or they may be unable to express an opinion on our management’s evaluation of, or on the effectiveness of, our internal controls.
      If it is determined that our disclosure controls and procedures and/or our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective and/or we fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on a timely basis, we may not be able to provide reliable financial and other reports or prevent fraud, which, in turn, could harm our business and operating results, cause investors to lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock and/or adversely affect our ability to timely file our periodic reports with the SEC. Any failure to timely file our periodic reports with the SEC may give rise to a default under the indenture governing our senior notes and, ultimately, an acceleration of amounts due under the senior notes. In addition, a default under the indenture generally will also give rise to a default under our credit agreement and could cause the acceleration of amounts due under the credit agreement. If an acceleration of our senior notes or our other debt were to occur, we cannot assure you that we would have sufficient funds to repay such obligations.
The loss of key executives would adversely affect our ability to effectively finance and manage our business, acquire new businesses, and obtain and retain customers.
      We are dependent upon the efforts and skills of our executives to finance and manage our business, identify and consummate additional acquisitions and obtain and retain customers. These executives include:
  •  Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Munawar H. Hidayatallah; and
 
  •  President and Chief Operating Officer David Wilde.
      In addition, our development and expansion will require additional experienced management and operations personnel. No assurance can be given that we will be able to identify and retain these employees. The loss of the services of one or more of our key executives could increase our exposure to the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section. We do not maintain key man insurance on any of our personnel.
Historically, we have been dependent on a few customers operating in a single industry; the loss of one or more customers could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
      Our customers are engaged in the oil and natural gas drilling business in the United States, Mexico and elsewhere. Historically, we have been dependent upon a few customers for a significant portion of our revenue. In 2005, no single customer generated over 10% of our revenues. In 2004, Matyep represented 10.8% of our revenues, and Burlington Resources represented 10.1% of our revenues. In 2003, Matyep represented 10.2% of our revenues, Burlington represented 11.1% of our revenue and El Paso Corporation represented 14.1% of our revenues. Additionally, DLS currently relies on two customers for a majority of its revenue. In 2005, Pan American Energy LLC Sucursal Argentina, or Pan American Energy, represented 55% of DLS’ revenues and Repsol-YPF represented 15% of DLS’ revenues. This concentration of customers may increase our overall exposure to credit risk, and customers will likely be similarly affected by changes in economic and industry conditions. Our financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected if one or more of our significant customers fails to pay us or ceases to contract with us for our services on terms that are favorable to us or at all.

Our international operations may expose us to political and other uncertainties, including risks of:
  •  terrorist acts, war and civil disturbances;
 
  •  changes in laws or policies regarding the award of contracts; and
 
  •  the inability to collect or repatriate currency, income, capital or assets.
      Part of our strategy is to prudently and opportunistically acquire businesses and assets that complement our existing products and services, and to expand our geographic footprint. If we make acquisitions in other countries, we may increase our exposure to the risks discussed above.
Environmental liabilities could result in substantial losses.
      Since our reorganization under the U.S. federal bankruptcy laws in 1988, a number of parties, including the Environmental Protection Agency, have asserted that we are responsible for the cleanup of hazardous waste sites with respect to our pre-bankruptcy activities. We believe that such claims are barred by applicable bankruptcy law, and we have not experienced any material expense in relation to any such claims. However, if we do not prevail with respect to these claims in the future, or if additional environmental claims are asserted against us relating to our current or future activities in the oil and natural gas industry, we could become subject to material environmental liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.
Products liability claims relating to discontinued operations could result in substantial losses.
      Since our reorganization under the U.S. federal bankruptcy laws in 1988, we have been regularly named in products liability lawsuits primarily resulting from the manufacture of products containing asbestos. In connection with our bankruptcy, a special products liability trust was established to address products liability claims. We believe that claims against us are barred by applicable bankruptcy law, and that the products liability trust will continue to be responsible for products liability claims. Since 1988, no court has ruled that we are responsible for products liability claims. However, if we are held responsible for product liability claims, we could suffer substantial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation. We have not manufactured products containing asbestos since our reorganization in 1988.
We may be subject to claims for personal injury and property damage, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
      Our products and services are used for the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. These operations are subject to inherent hazards that can cause personal injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, equipment, the environment and marine life, and suspension of operations. Litigation arising from an accident at a location where our products or services are used or provided may cause us to be named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting potentially large claims. We maintain customary insurance to protect our business against these potential losses. Our insurance has deductibles or self-insured retentions and contains certain coverage exclusions. However, we could become subject to material uninsured liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

Risks Associated With Our Industry
Cyclical declines in oil and natural gas prices may result in reduced use of our services, affecting our business, financial condition and results of operation and our ability to meet our capital expenditure obligations and financial commitments.
      The oil and natural gas exploration and drilling business is highly cyclical. Generally, as oil and natural gas prices decrease, exploration and drilling activity declines as marginally profitable projects become uneconomic and are either delayed or eliminated. Declines in the number of operating drilling rigs result in reduced use of and prices for our services. Accordingly, when oil and natural gas prices are relatively low, our revenues and income will suffer. Oil and natural gas prices depend on many factors beyond our control, including the following:
  •  economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere;
 
  •  changes in global supply and demand for oil and natural gas;
 
  •  the level of production of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, commonly called OPEC;
 
  •  the level of production of non-OPEC countries;
 
  •  the price and quantity of imports of foreign oil and natural gas;
 
  •  political conditions, including embargoes, in or affecting other oil and natural gas producing activities;
 
  •  the level of global oil and natural gas inventories; and
 
  •  advances in exploration, development and production technologies.
      Depending on the market prices of oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and natural gas may cancel or curtail their drilling programs, thereby reducing demand for drilling services. Our contracts are generally short-term, and oil and natural gas companies tend to respond quickly to upward or downward changes in prices. Any reduction in the demand for drilling services may materially erode both pricing and utilization rates for our services and adversely affect our financial results. As a result, we may suffer losses, be unable to make necessary capital expenditures and be unable to meet our financial obligations.
Our industry is highly competitive, with intense price competition.
      The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. Contracts are traditionally awarded on a competitive bid basis. Pricing is often the primary factor in determining which qualified contractor is awarded a job. The competitive environment has intensified as recent mergers among oil and natural gas companies have reduced the number of available customers. Many other oilfield services companies are larger than we are and have resources that are significantly greater than our resources. These competitors are better able to withstand industry downturns, compete on the basis of price and acquire new equipment and technologies, all of which could affect our revenues and profitability. These competitors compete with us both for customers and for acquisitions of other businesses. This competition may cause our business to suffer. We believe that competition for contracts will continue to be intense in the foreseeable future.

15


Table of Contents

We may experience increased labor costs or the unavailability of skilled workers and the failure to retain key personnel could hurt our operations.
      Companies in our industry, including us, are dependent upon the available labor pool of skilled employees. We compete with other oilfield services businesses and other employers to attract and retain qualified personnel with the technical skills and experience required to provide our customers with the highest quality service. We are also subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs such matters as minimum wage, overtime and other working conditions. A shortage in the labor pool of skilled workers or other general inflationary pressures or changes in applicable laws and regulations could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain personnel and could require us to enhance our wage and benefits packages. There can be no assurance that labor costs will not increase. Any increase in our operating costs could cause our business to suffer.
Severe weather could have a material adverse impact on our business.
      Our business could be materially and adversely affected by severe weather. Repercussions of severe weather conditions may include:
  •  curtailment of services;
 
  •  weather-related damage to facilities and equipment resulting in suspension of operations;
 
  •  inability to deliver materials to job sites in accordance with contract schedules; and
 
  •  loss of productivity.
      In addition, oil and natural gas operations of our customers located offshore and onshore in the Gulf of Mexico and in Mexico may be adversely affected by hurricanes and tropical storms, resulting in reduced demand for our services. Further, our customers’ operations in the Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States are also adversely affected by seasonal weather conditions. This limits our access to these job sites and our ability to service wells in these areas. These constraints decrease drilling activity and the resulting shortages or high costs could delay our operations and materially increase our operating and capital costs.
Our business may be affected by terrorist activity and by security measures taken in response to terrorism.
      We may experience loss of business or delays or defaults in payments from payers that have been affected by actual or potential terrorist activities. Some oil and natural gas drilling companies have implemented security measures in response to potential terrorist activities, including access restrictions, that could adversely affect our ability to market our services to new and existing customers and could increase our costs. Terrorist activities and potential terrorist activities and any resulting economic downturn could adversely impact our results of operations, impair our ability to raise capital or otherwise adversely affect our ability to grow our business.
We are subject to government regulations.
      We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the energy industry in general and the environment in particular. Environmental laws have in recent years become more stringent and have generally sought to impose greater liability on a larger number of potentially responsible parties. Although we are not aware of any proposed material changes in any federal, state and local statutes, rules or regulations, any changes could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Associated With an Investment in Our Common Stock
We may have a contingent liability arising out of a possible violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act in connection with electronic communications sent to potential investors in our common stock.
      On or about July 20, 2006, one of the proposed underwriters of this offering sent e-mails and/or instant messages to approximately 20 potential investors in our common stock. Although we did not authorize these communications, and we believe they were not made or intended to be made on our behalf, these communications may have constituted violations of Section 5 of the Securities Act. Accordingly, if the recipients of these emails were to purchase shares in this offering, they might have the right, under certain circumstances, to require us to repurchase those shares. Consequently, we could have a contingent liability arising out of these possible violations of the Securities Act. The magnitude of this liability is presently impossible to quantify, and would depend upon the number of shares purchased by the recipients of such communications and the trading price of our common stock. However, the proposed underwriter who sent these electronic communications is not acting as an underwriter in this offering, and we and the underwriters that are participating in this offering have taken measures designed to ensure that the recipients of the communications will not have the opportunity to purchase shares in this offering. Furthermore, if any investors in our common stock do assert any such liability, we intend to contest the matter vigorously, and in light of the remedial measures and our belief that the communications were not made or intended to be made on our behalf, we do not believe that any such liability would be material to our financial condition.
Our stock price may decrease in response to various factors, which could adversely affect our business and cause our stockholders to suffer significant losses. These factors include:
  •  decreases in prices for oil and natural gas resulting in decreased demand for our services;
 
  •  variations in our operating results and failure to meet expectations of investors and analysts;
 
  •  increases in interest rates;
 
  •  the loss of customers;
 
  •  failure of customers to pay for our services;
 
  •  competition;
 
  •  illiquidity of the market for our common stock;
 
  •  developments specifically affecting the Argentine economy;
 
  •  sales of common stock by existing stockholders; and
 
  •  other developments affecting us or the financial markets.
      A reduced stock price will result in a loss to investors and will adversely affect our ability to issue stock to fund our activities.
Existing stockholders’ interest in us may be diluted by additional issuances of equity securities.
      We expect to issue additional equity securities to fund the acquisition of additional businesses and pursuant to employee benefit plans. We may also issue additional equity for other purposes. These securities may have the same rights as our common stock or, alternatively, may have dividend, liquidation, or other preferences to our common stock. The issuance of additional equity securities will dilute the holdings of existing stockholders and may reduce the share price of our common stock.

Table of Contents

We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock and investors will be able to receive cash in respect of the shares of common stock only upon the sale of the shares.
      We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock within the last ten years. We have no intention in the foreseeable future to pay any cash dividends on our common stock and our credit agreement and the indenture governing our senior notes restrict our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Therefore, an investor in our common stock will obtain an economic benefit from the common stock only after an increase in its trading price and only by selling the common stock.
Substantial sales of our common stock could adversely affect our stock price.
      Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock after this offering, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock by introducing a large number of sellers to the market. Such sales could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
      Based on our shares outstanding as of July 1, 2006, we will have 23,514,260 shares of common stock outstanding immediately after this offering. We have reserved an additional 1,843,633 shares of common stock for issuance under our equity compensation plans, of which 1,600,534 shares are currently issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options with a weighted average exercise price of $6.40 per share. In addition, we have reserved 71,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants (with a weighted average exercise price of $4.98 per share) and 4,000 shares for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options (with an exercise price of $13.75 per share) granted to former and continuing board members in 1999 and 2000. Following this offering, all of the shares of common stock to be sold in this offering and approximately 9.4 million shares of common stock that may be sold pursuant to another registration statement that we have filed with the SEC will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the federal securities laws unless purchased by our affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
      In connection with our pending acquisition of DLS, we plan to enter into an investors rights agreement with the seller parties to the DLS stock purchase agreement, who will collectively hold 2.5 million shares of our common stock after giving effect to the acquisition. Under the investors rights agreement, the DLS sellers will be entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration of the sale of such shares under the Securities Act. By exercising their registration rights and causing a large number of shares to be sold in the public market, these holders could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. See “DLS’ Business.”
      We cannot predict whether future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for sale, will adversely affect the market price for our common stock or our ability to raise capital by offering equity securities.
Upon closing of our acquisition of DLS, the DLS sellers will have the right to designate two nominees for election to our board of directors, and their interests may be different from yours.
      After giving effect to this offering and upon closing of the DLS acquisition, we anticipate that the DLS sellers will collectively hold 2.5 million shares of our common stock, representing approximately 10.6% of our issued and outstanding shares. Under the investors rights agreement that we plan to enter into in connection with the acquisition, the DLS sellers will have the right to designate two nominees for election to our board of directors. As a result, the DLS sellers will have a greater ability to determine the composition of our board of directors and to control our future operations and strategy as compared to the voting power and control that could be exercised by a stockholder owning the same number of shares and not benefiting from board designation rights.

18


Table of Contents

      Conflicts of interest between the DLS sellers and our other stockholders may arise with respect to sales of shares of capital stock owned by the DLS sellers or other matters. In addition, the interests of the DLS sellers regarding any proposed merger or sale may differ from the interests of our other stockholders, especially if the consideration to be paid for the common stock is less than the price paid by other stockholders.
      The board designation rights described above could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could have a material and adverse effect on the market price of our common stock or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares.
Risks Associated With Our Indebtedness
We have a substantial amount of debt, which could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from making principal and interest payments on our senior notes and our other debt.
      After giving pro forma as adjusted effect to the acquisition of Rogers and the DLS transactions, as if each such transaction had occurred on March 31, 2006, we would have had approximately $260.1 million of consolidated total indebtedness outstanding and approximately $8.0 million of additional secured borrowing capacity available under our credit agreement as of March 31, 2006.
      Our substantial debt could:
  •  make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our senior notes and our other debt;
 
  •  increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, including declines in oil and natural gas prices and declines in drilling activities;
 
  •  limit our ability to obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, mergers and other general corporate purposes;
 
  •  require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow for operations and other purposes;
 
  •  limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
 
  •  make us more vulnerable to increases in interest rates;
 
  •  place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and
 
  •  have a material adverse effect on us if we fail to comply with the covenants in the indenture relating to our senior notes or in the instruments governing our other debt.
      In addition, we may incur substantial additional debt in the future. The indenture governing our senior notes permits us to incur additional debt, and our credit agreement permits additional borrowings. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, these related risks could increase.
      We may not maintain sufficient revenues to sustain profitability or to meet our capital expenditure requirements and our financial obligations. Also, we may not be able to generate a sufficient amount of cash flow to meet our debt service obligations.
      Our ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance our obligations with respect to our debt will depend on our financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to certain financial, business, and other factors beyond our control. If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to

19


Table of Contents

reduce or delay scheduled expansion and capital expenditures, sell material assets or operations, obtain additional capital or restructure our debt. We cannot assure you that our operating performance, cash flow and capital resources will be sufficient for payment of our debt in the future. In the event that we are required to dispose of material assets or operations or restructure our debt to meet our debt service and other obligations, we cannot assure you that the terms of any such transaction would be satisfactory to us or if or how soon any such transaction could be completed.
If we fail to obtain additional financing, we may be unable to refinance our existing debt, expand our current operations or acquire new businesses, which could result in a failure to grow or result in defaults in our obligations under our credit agreement or our senior notes.
      In order to refinance indebtedness, expand existing operations and acquire additional businesses, we will require substantial amounts of capital. There can be no assurance that financing, whether from equity or debt financings or other sources, will be available or, if available, will be on terms satisfactory to us. If we are unable to obtain such financing, we will be unable to acquire additional businesses and may be unable to meet our obligations under our credit agreement or our senior notes.
The indenture governing our senior notes and our credit agreement impose restrictions on us that may limit the discretion of management in operating our business and that, in turn, could impair our ability to meet our obligations under the senior notes.
      The indenture governing our senior notes and our credit agreement contain various restrictive covenants that limit management’s discretion in operating our business. In particular, these covenants limit our ability to, among other things:
  •  incur additional debt;
 
  •  make certain investments or pay dividends or distributions on our capital stock or purchase or redeem or retire capital stock;
 
  •  sell assets, including capital stock of our restricted subsidiaries;
 
  •  restrict dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries;
 
  •  create liens;
 
  •  enter into transactions with affiliates; and
 
  •  merge or consolidate with another company.
      The credit agreement also requires us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial tests. Our ability to maintain or meet such financial ratios and tests may be affected by events beyond our control, including changes in general economic and business conditions, and we cannot assure you that we will maintain or meet such ratios and tests or that the lenders under the credit agreement will waive any failure to meet such ratios or tests.
      These covenants could materially and adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs. Furthermore, they may restrict our ability to expand, to pursue our business strategies and to otherwise conduct our business. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by circumstances and events beyond our control, such as prevailing economic conditions and changes in regulations, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with them. A breach of these covenants could result in a default under the indenture governing our senior notes and/or the credit agreement. If there were an event of default under the indenture governing our senior notes and/or the credit agreement, the affected creditors could cause all amounts borrowed under these instruments to be

Table of Contents

due and payable immediately. Additionally, if we fail to repay indebtedness under our credit agreement when it becomes due, the lenders under the credit agreement could proceed against the assets which we have pledged to them as security. Our assets and cash flow might not be sufficient to repay our outstanding debt in the event of a default.
Risks Associated With DLS’ Business and Industry
A material or extended decline in expenditures by oil and gas companies due to a decline or volatility in oil and gas prices, a decrease in demand for oil and gas or other factors may reduce demand for DLS’ services and substantially reduce DLS’ revenues, profitability, cash flows and/or liquidity.
      The profitability of DLS’ operations depends upon conditions in the oil and gas industry and, specifically, the level of exploration and production expenditures of oil and gas company customers. The oil and gas industry is cyclical and subject to governmental price controls. The demand for contract drilling and related services is directly influenced by many factors beyond DLS’ control, including:
  •  oil and gas prices and expectations about future prices;
 
  •  the demand for oil and gas, both in Latin America and globally;
 
  •  the cost of producing and delivering oil and gas;
 
  •  advances in exploration, development and production technology;
 
  •  government regulations, including governmental imposed commodity price controls, export controls and renationalization of a country’s oil and gas industry;
 
  •  local and international political and economic conditions;
 
  •  the ability of OPEC to set and maintain production levels and prices;
 
  •  the level of production by non-OPEC countries; and
 
  •  the policies of various governments regarding exploration and development of their oil and gas reserves.
      Depending on the factors outlined above, companies exploring for oil and gas may cancel or curtail their drilling programs, thereby reducing demand for drilling services. Such a reduction in demand may erode daily rates and utilization of DLS’ rigs. Any significant decrease in daily rates or utilization of DLS’ rigs could materially reduce DLS’ revenues, profitability, cash flows and/or liquidity.
A majority of DLS’ revenues are derived from two customers. The termination of the contracts with these two customers could have a significant negative effect on the revenues, results of operations and financial condition of DLS.
      A majority of DLS’ revenues are currently received pursuant to a strategic agreement with Pan American Energy. Pan American Energy is a joint venture that is owned 60% by British Petroleum and 40% by Bridas Corporation, an affiliate of the current stockholders of DLS. This agreement terminates on June 30, 2008. However, Pan American Energy may terminate the agreement (i) without cause at any time with 60 days’ notice, or (ii) in the event of a breach of the agreement by DLS if such breach is not cured within 20 days of notice of the breach. DLS is currently in negotiations to extend this agreement to December 2010.
      In addition, DLS derives over 10% of its revenues from Repsol-YPF pursuant to a drilling equipment contract and a drilling fluids contract, both of which are scheduled to expire in September 2006. We cannot assure you that these contracts will be renewed or replaced, and consequently there is a risk that DLS could fail to continue receiving the significant revenues generated under these contracts.

21


Table of Contents

      Because a majority of DLS’ revenues are currently generated under these agreements, DLS’ revenues and earnings will be materially adversely affected if these agreements are terminated unless DLS is able to enter into satisfactory substitute arrangements. We cannot assure you that in the event of such a termination DLS would be able to enter into substitute arrangements on terms similar to those contained in the current agreements with Pan American Energy and Repsol-YPF.
DLS’ operations and financial condition could be affected by union activity and general labor unrest. Additionally, our labor expenses could increase as a result of governmental regulation of payments to employees.
      In Argentina, labor organizations have substantial support and have considerable political influence. The demands of labor organizations have increased in recent years as a result of the general labor unrest and dissatisfaction resulting from the disparity between the cost of living and salaries in Argentina as a result of the devaluation of the Argentine peso. There can be no assurance that DLS will not face labor disruptions in the future or that any such disruptions will not have a material adverse effect on DLS’ financial condition or results of operations.
      The Argentine government has in the past and may in the future promulgate laws, regulations and decrees requiring companies in the private sector to maintain minimum wage levels and provide specified benefits to employees, including significant mandatory severance payments. In the aftermath of the Argentine economic crisis of 2001 and 2002, both the government and private sector companies have experienced significant pressure from employees and labor organizations relating to wage levels and employee benefits. In early 2005 the Argentine government promised not to order salary increases by decree. However, there has been no abatement of pressure to mandate salary increases, and it is possible the government will adopt measures that will increase salaries or require DLS to provide additional benefits, which would increase DLS’ costs and potentially reduce DLS’ profitability, cash flow and/or liquidity.
Rig upgrade, refurbishment and construction projects are subject to risks, including delays and cost overruns, which could have an adverse effect on DLS’ results of operations and cash flows.
      DLS often has to make upgrade and refurbishment expenditures for its rig fleet to comply with DLS’ quality management and preventive maintenance system or contractual requirements or when repairs are required in response to an inspection by a governmental authority. DLS may also make significant expenditures when it moves rigs from one location to another. Additionally, DLS may make substantial expenditures for the construction of new rigs. Rig upgrade, refurbishment and construction projects are subject to the risks of delay or cost overruns inherent in any large construction project, including the following:
  •  shortages of material or skilled labor;
 
  •  unforeseen engineering problems;
 
  •  unanticipated change orders;
 
  •  work stoppages;
 
  •  adverse weather conditions;
 
  •  long lead times for manufactured rig components;
 
  •  unanticipated cost increases; and
 
  •  inability to obtain the required permits or approvals.

22


Table of Contents

      Significant cost overruns or delays could adversely affect DLS’ financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, capital expenditures for rig upgrade, refurbishment or construction projects could exceed DLS’ planned capital expenditures, impairing DLS’ ability to service its debt obligations.
An oversupply of comparable rigs in the geographic markets in which DLS competes could depress the utilization rates and dayrates for DLS’ rigs and materially reduce DLS’ revenues and profitability.
      Utilization rates, which are the number of days a rig actually works divided by the number of days the rig is available for work, and dayrates, which are the contract prices customers pay for rigs per day, are also affected by the total supply of comparable rigs available for service in the geographic markets in which DLS competes. Improvements in demand in a geographic market may cause DLS’ competitors to respond by moving competing rigs into the market, thus intensifying price competition. Significant new rig construction could also intensify price competition. In the past, there have been prolonged periods of rig oversupply with correspondingly depressed utilization rates and dayrates largely due to earlier, speculative construction of new rigs. Improvements in dayrates and expectations of longer-term, sustained improvements in utilization rates and dayrates for drilling rigs may lead to construction of new rigs. These increases in the supply of rigs could depress the utilization rates and dayrates for DLS’ rigs and materially reduce DLS’ revenues and profitability.
Worldwide political and economic developments may hurt DLS’ operations materially.
      Currently, DLS derives substantially all of its revenues from operations in Argentina and a small portion from operations in Bolivia. DLS’ operations are subject to the following risks, among others:
  •  expropriation of assets;
 
  •  nationalization of components of the energy industry in the geographic areas where DLS operates;
 
  •  foreign currency fluctuations and devaluation;
 
  •  new economic and tax policies;
 
  •  restrictions on currency, income, capital or asset repatriation;
 
  •  political instability, war and civil disturbances;
 
  •  uncertainty or instability resulting from armed hostilities or other crises in the Middle East or the geographic areas in which DLS operates; and
 
  •  acts of terrorism.
      Continued hostilities in the Middle East and the occurrence or threat of future terrorist attacks against the United States or other developed countries could cause a downturn in the economies of the United States and those other countries. A lower level of economic activity could result in a decline in energy consumption, which could cause DLS’ revenues and margins to decline and limit its future growth prospects. More specifically, these risks could lead to increased volatility in prices for crude oil and natural gas and could affect the markets for DLS’ drilling services. In addition, these risks could increase instability in the financial and insurance markets and make it more difficult for DLS to access capital and to obtain insurance coverages that DLS considers adequate or are otherwise required by DLS’ contracts.
      DLS attempts to limit the risks of currency fluctuation and restrictions on currency repatriation where possible by obtaining contracts providing for payment of a percentage of the contract in U.S. dollars or freely convertible foreign currency. To the extent possible, DLS seeks to limit its

exposure to local currencies by matching the acceptance of local currencies to DLS’ expense requirements in those currencies. Although DLS has done this in the past, DLS may not be able to take these actions in the future, thereby exposing DLS to foreign currency fluctuations that could cause its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows to deteriorate materially.
      Over the past several years, Argentina and Bolivia have experienced political and economic instability that resulted in significant changes in their general economic policies and regulations.
      DLS derives a small portion of its revenues from operating one drilling rig in Bolivia. Recently, Bolivian President Evo Morales announced the nationalization of Bolivia’s natural gas industry and ordered the Bolivian military to occupy Bolivia’s natural gas fields. This measure will likely adversely affect the Bolivian operations of foreign oil and gas companies operating in Bolivia, including DLS’ customers and potential future customers, and accordingly, DLS’ prospects for future business in Bolivia may be harmed. In addition, in light of these recent political developments in Bolivia, DLS’ assets in Bolivia may be subject to an increased risk of expropriation or government imposed restrictions on movement to a new location.
      In light of the early stage and uncertainty of political developments affecting the energy industry in Bolivia, we are unable to predict the effect that recent events may have on DLS’ operations, financial results or business plans. There is a risk that the changes resulting from the recent events in Bolivia will adversely affect DLS’ financial position or results of operations, and DLS’ operations may be further adversely affected by continuing economic and political instability in Bolivia. Furthermore, if nationalistic measures similar to those developing in Bolivia were to be adopted in other countries where DLS may in the future seek drilling contracts, DLS’ prospects in such countries may be adversely affected.
      DLS’ operations are also subject to other risks, including foreign monetary and tax policies, expropriation, nationalization and nullification or modification of contracts. Additionally, DLS’ ability to compete may be limited by foreign governmental regulations that favor or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or by regulations requiring foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. Furthermore, DLS may face governmentally imposed restrictions from time to time on its ability to transfer funds.
Devaluation of the Argentine peso will adversely affect DLS’ results of operations.
      The Argentine peso has been subject to significant devaluation in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. Given the economic and political uncertainties in Argentina, it is impossible to predict whether, and to what extent, the value of the Argentine peso may depreciate or appreciate against the U.S. dollar. We cannot predict how these uncertainties will affect DLS’ financial results, but there is a risk that DLS’ financial performance could be adversely affected. Moreover, we cannot predict whether the Argentine government will further modify its monetary policy and, if so, what effect any of these changes could have on the value of the Argentine peso. Such changes could have an adverse effect on DLS’ financial condition and results of operations.
Argentina continues to face considerable political and economic uncertainty.
      Although general economic conditions have shown improvement and political protests and social disturbances have diminished considerably since the economic crisis of 2001 and 2002, the rapid and radical nature of the changes in the Argentine social, political, economic and legal environmental over the past several years and the absence of a clear political consensus in favor of any particular set of economic policies have given rise to significant uncertainties about the country’s economic and

political future. It is currently unclear whether the economic and political instability experienced over the past several years will continue and it is possible that, despite recent economic growth, Argentina may return to a deeper recession, higher inflation and unemployment and greater social unrest. If instability persists, there could be a material adverse effect on DLS’ results of operations and financial condition.
      In the event of further social or political crisis, companies in Argentina may also face the risk of further civil and social unrest, strikes, expropriation, nationalization, forced renegotiation or modification of existing contracts and changes in taxation policies, including royalty and tax increases and retroactive tax claims.
      In addition, investments in Argentine companies may be further affected by changes in laws and policies of the United States affecting foreign trade, taxation and investment.
An increase in inflation could have a material adverse effect on DLS’ results of operations.
      The devaluation of the Argentine peso created pressures on the domestic price system that generated high rates of inflation in 2002 before substantially stabilizing in 2003 and remaining stable in 2004. In 2005, however, inflation rates began to increase. In addition, in response to the economic crisis in 2002, the federal government granted the Central Bank greater control over monetary policy than was available to it under the previous monetary regime, known as the “Convertibility” regime, including the ability to print currency, to make advances to the federal government to cover its anticipated budget deficit and to provide financial assistance to financial institutions with liquidity problems. We cannot assure you that inflation rates will remain stable in the future. Significant inflation could have a material adverse effect on DLS’ results of operations and financial condition.
DLS’ customers may seek to cancel or renegotiate some of DLS’ drilling contracts during periods of depressed market conditions or if DLS experiences operational difficulties.
      Substantially all of DLS’ contracts with major customers are dayrate contracts, where DLS charges a fixed charge per day regardless of the number of days needed to drill the well. During depressed market conditions, a customer may no longer need a rig that is currently under contract or may be able to obtain a comparable rig at a lower daily rate. As a result, customers may seek to renegotiate the terms of their existing drilling contracts or avoid their obligations under those contracts. In addition, DLS’ customers may have the right to terminate existing contracts if DLS experiences operational problems. The likelihood that a customer may seek to terminate a contract for operational difficulties is increased during periods of market weakness. The cancellation of a number of DLS’ drilling contracts could materially reduce DLS’ revenues and profitability.
DLS is subject to numerous governmental laws and regulations, including those that may impose significant liability on DLS for environmental and natural resource damages.
      Many aspects of DLS’ operations are subject to laws and regulations that may relate directly or indirectly to the contract drilling and well servicing industries, including those requiring DLS to control the discharge of oil and other contaminants into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. The countries where DLS operates have environmental laws and regulations covering the discharge of oil and other contaminants and protection of the environment in connection with operations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and even criminal penalties, the imposition of remedial obligations, and the issuance of injunctions that may limit or prohibit DLS’ operations. Laws and regulations protecting

25


Table of Contents

the environment have become more stringent in recent years and may in certain circumstances impose strict liability, rendering DLS liable for environmental and natural resource damages without regard to negligence or fault on DLS’ part. These laws and regulations may expose DLS to liability for the conduct of, or conditions caused by, others or for acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time the acts were performed. The application of these requirements, the modification of existing laws or regulations or the adoption of new laws or regulations curtailing exploratory or development drilling for oil and gas could materially limit future contract drilling opportunities or materially increase DLS’ costs or both.
DLS is subject to hazards customary for drilling operations, which could adversely affect its financial performance if DLS is not adequately indemnified or insured.
      Substantially all of DLS’ operations are subject to hazards that are customary for oil and gas drilling operations, including blowouts, reservoir damage, loss of well control, cratering, oil and gas well fires and explosions, natural disasters, pollution and mechanical failure. Any of these risks could result in damage to or destruction of drilling equipment, personal injury and property damage, suspension of operations or environmental damage. Generally, drilling contracts provide for the division of responsibilities between a drilling company and its customer, and DLS generally obtains indemnification from its customers by contract for some of these risks. However, there may be limitations on the enforceability of indemnification provisions that allow a contractor to be indemnified for damages resulting from the contractor’s fault. To the extent that DLS is unable to transfer such risks to customers by contract or indemnification agreements, DLS generally seeks protection through insurance. However, DLS has a significant amount of self-insured retention or deductible for certain losses relating to workers’ compensation, employers’ liability, general liability and property damage. There is no assurance that such insurance or indemnification agreements will adequately protect DLS against liability from all of the consequences of the hazards and risks described above. The occurrence of an event not fully insured or for which DLS is not indemnified against, or the failure of a customer or insurer to meet its indemnification or insurance obligations, could result in substantial losses. In addition, there can be no assurance that insurance will continue to be available to cover any or all of these risks, or, even if available, that insurance premiums or other costs will not rise significantly in the future, so as to make the cost of such insurance prohibitive.

USE OF PROCEEDS
       We expect that our net proceeds from the sale of common stock in the offering will be approximately $34.1 million, or $39.3 million if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, at an assumed offering price of $14.56 per share and after deducting underwriter discounts and commissions and estimated transaction fees and expenses payable by us. We plan to use the net proceeds to us from this offering to fund a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of DLS. The net proceeds from this offering, together with approximately $78.0 million in net proceeds from our concurrent offering of approximately $80.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes, will be used to fund the cash component of the purchase price for our pending acquisition of DLS, to repay existing debt and for general corporate purposes, as set forth below.

(2)  This subordinated note accrues interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum and requires quarterly interest payments. The principal amount is due on October 9, 2007.
DIVIDEND POLICY
       We currently intend to continue our policy of retaining earnings to finance the growth of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, the terms of our credit agreement and the indenture governing our senior notes restrict our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.

        AJ) Reflects deferred taxes on the pending DLS acquisition and the long-term portion of non-compete payments to the sellers of DLS.
 
        AK) Reflects the elimination of the acquired companies stockholders’ equity and the issuance of 125,285 shares of our common stock in the Rogers acquisition and 2.5 million shares in the pending DLS acquisition.
 
        AL) Reflects the additional stock issued in connection with this offering, net of expenses.
 
        A) Reflects the impact on depreciation expense as a result of the step-up in basis of fixed assets and a longer estimated life on DLS assets.
 
        B) Reflects the increase in amortization due to the increase in other intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of Rogers.

        C) Reflects the amortization on the financing fees related to the proposed sale of an additional $80.0 million of senior notes.
 
        D) Reflects the net increase in interest expense after taking into account debt of acquired companies that was repaid and additional borrowings needed to complete the acquisitions. Approximately $9.1 million of existing debt for DLS will remain outstanding after the acquisition. The interest rate assumed on the $9.1 million of DLS debt was 6.21%, which was the actual average interest rate on this debt as of March 31, 2006. Each 0.125% change in this interest rate would affect interest expense by $11,430 per annum. The interest expense category for DLS’ historical financials also includes bank fees and other financial expenses of approximately $993,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and $368,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. In conjunction with the Rogers acquisition, we issued a $750,000 note to the seller bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5%, and we borrowed $5.0 million under our line of credit. We assumed an 8% interest rate for this $5.0 million borrowing, which is our current borrowing rate under our committed line of credit. Each 0.125% change in this interest rate would affect interest expense by $6,250 per annum.
 
        E) Reflects the additional interest expense related to the proposed sale of an additional $80.0 million of senior notes. We will repay our $4.0 million, 5% subordinated note with proceeds of the senior notes offering. We assumed an interest rate of 9% on the proposed sale of an additional $80.0 million in senior notes, which is equal to the interest rate obtained for the $160.0 million of senior notes issued in January 2006.
 
        F) A statutory tax rate of 35% was applied to the adjustments, but since Allis-Chalmers has a net operating loss carryforward no tax expense was recorded. In addition, the Allis-Chalmers net operating loss position offsets the historical tax liabilities for operations in the United States of acquired companies. Income taxes for DLS were computed at the Argentinian statutory rate of 35% as we have no net operating losses in Argentina to offset the tax liability. The net operating loss carryforward, after the historical results for Allis-Chalmers for the year ended December 31, 2005, is approximately $15.4 million.
 
        G) Reflects the issuance of shares of our common stock as part of the acquisition price for Rogers and DLS. 125,285 shares were issued in the Rogers acquisition and the consideration for the pending DLS acquisition includes 2.5 million shares of our common stock.
 
        H) Reflects the issuance of an additional 2.5 million shares of our common stock as a result of this offering. The pro forma statement of operations treats the shares as having been issued at the July 25, 2006 stock price of $15.24, the basis for the pricing of this offering.
 
        I) Reflects the increase in depreciation expense as a result of the step-up in basis of fixed assets and a longer estimated life on DLS assets.
 
        J) Reflects the increase in amortization due to the increase in other intangible assets in connection with the acquisitions of Capcoil, W.T. and Rogers. Also reflects decreased rent expense of $97,000 that will result from the acquisition of Specialty. We entered into a new lease for the Specialty yard with the seller. Entering into this lease was required by the purchase agreement and was a condition to the closing of the Specialty acquisition.
 
        K) Reflects the amortization on the financing fees related to our $160.0 million senior notes offering in January 2006 and the proposed sale of an additional $80.0 million of senior notes.
 
        L) Reflects the increased interest expense related to additional borrowings as a result of the January 2006 senior notes, and the proposed sale of an additional $80.0 million of senior notes. We

  will repay our $4.0 million 5% subordinated note with proceeds of the senior notes offering. We assumed an interest rate of 9% on the proposed sale of an additional $80.0 million in senior notes, which is equal to the interest rate obtained for the $160.0 million of senior notes we issued in January 2006. Interest on the proceeds of the January 2006 senior notes in excess of the Specialty acquisition and net of debt repayments is computed at the contractual rate of 9%.
 
        M) Reflects the elimination of the 45% minority interest position of M-I in AirComp.
 
        N) Reflects the issuance of shares of our common stock as part of the acquisition price for Delta, Capcoil, Rogers and DLS. The Delta acquisition included consideration of $1.0 million in stock, the Capcoil acquisition include consideration of $765,000 in stock and the Rogers acquisition included consideration of $1,650,000 in stock. The stock component of the consideration for the pending DLS acquisition is comprised of 2.5 million shares.
 
        O) Reflects the increase in amortization due to the increase in other intangible assets in connection with the acquisitions of Capcoil, W.T. and Rogers. Also reflects the decreased rent expense of $386,000 that will result from the acquisition of Specialty. We entered into a new lease for the Specialty yard with the seller, entering into the lease was required by the purchase agreement and was a condition to the closing of the Specialty acquisition.
 
        P) Reflects the net increase in interest expense after taking into account debt of acquired companies that was repaid and additional borrowings needed to complete the acquisitions. We borrowed $96.0 million from the $160.0 million senior notes to fund the acquisition of Specialty. The senior notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 9%. Approximately $9.1 million of existing debt for DLS will remain outstanding after the acquisition is consummated. The interest rate assumed on the $9.1 million of DLS debt was 6.21% which was the actual average interest rate on this debt as of March 31, 2006. Each 0.125% change in this interest rate would affect interest expense by $11,430 per annum. The interest expense category for DLS’ historical financials also includes bank fees and other financial expenses of approximately $2.7 million. In conjunction with the Rogers acquisition, we issued a $750,000 note to the seller bearing interest at 5% fixed and we borrowed $5.0 million under our line of credit. We assumed an 8% interest rate for this $5.0 million borrowing which is our current borrowing rate under our committed line of credit. Each 0.125% change in this interest rate would affect interest expense by $6,250 per annum. To acquire M-I’s 45% interest in AirComp we issued a new note for $4.0 million to replace a note for $4.8 million, both notes bore interest at 5.0%.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
       The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our selected historical financial data and our accompanying financial statements and the notes to those financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed above under “Risk Factors.”
Overview of Our Business
      We are a multi-faceted oilfield services company that provides services and equipment to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, domestically in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Utah, Wyoming, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, and internationally in Mexico. We operate in five sectors of the oil and natural gas service industry: directional drilling services; rental tools; casing and tubing services; compressed air drilling services; and production services.
      We derive operating revenues from rates per day and rates per job that we charge for the labor and equipment required to provide a service. The price we charge for our services depends upon several factors, including the level of oil and natural gas drilling activity and the competitive environment in the particular geographic regions in which we operate. Contracts are awarded based on price, quality of service and equipment, and general reputation and experience of our personnel. The demand for drilling services has historically been volatile and is affected by the capital expenditures of oil and natural gas exploration and development companies, which can fluctuate based upon the prices of oil and natural gas, or the expectation for the prices of oil and natural gas.
      The number of working drilling rigs, typically referred to as the “rig count,” is an important indicator of activity levels in the oil and natural gas industry. The rig count in the United States increased from 862 as of December 31, 2002 to 1,666 on June 30, 2006, according to the Baker Hughes rig count. Furthermore, directional and horizontal rig counts increased from 283 as of December 31, 2002 to 688 on June 30, 2006, which accounted for 32.8% and 41.0% of the total U.S. rig count, respectively. Currently, we believe that the number of available drilling rigs is insufficient to meet the demand for drilling rigs. Consequently, unless a significant number of additional drilling rigs are brought online, the rig count may not increase substantially despite the strong demand.
      Our cost of revenues represents all direct and indirect costs associated with the operation and maintenance of our equipment. The principal elements of these costs are direct and indirect labor and benefits, repairs and maintenance of our equipment, insurance, equipment rentals, fuel and depreciation. Operating expenses do not fluctuate in direct proportion to changes in revenues because, among other factors, we have a fixed base of inventory of equipment and facilities to support our operations, and in periods of low drilling activity we may also seek to preserve labor continuity to market our services and maintain our equipment.
Cyclical Nature of Oilfield Services Industry
      The oilfield services industry is highly cyclical. The most critical factor in assessing the outlook for the industry is the worldwide supply and demand for oil and the domestic supply and demand for natural gas. The peaks and valleys of demand are further apart than those of many other cyclical industries. This is primarily a result of the industry being driven by commodity demand and

43


Table of Contents

corresponding price increases. As demand increases, producers raise their prices. The price escalation enables producers to increase their capital expenditures. The increased capital expenditures ultimately result in greater revenues and profits for services and equipment companies. The increased capital expenditures also ultimately result in greater production which historically has resulted in increased supplies and reduced prices.
      Demand for our services has been strong throughout 2003, 2004 and 2005 due to high oil and natural gas prices and increased demand and declining production costs for natural gas as compared to other energy sources. Management believes the current market fundamentals are indicative of a favorable long-term trend of activity in our markets. However, these factors could be more than offset by other developments affecting the worldwide supply and demand for oil and natural gas products.
Restatement
      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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” or SFAS, No. 128. The effect of the restatement is to reduce weighted average diluted shares outstanding for each period and to reduce weighted average basic shares outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Therefore, diluted earnings per share were increased for the relevant periods and basic earnings per share were increased for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. (See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2005).
      In connection with the formation of AirComp in 2003, we, along with M-I, 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, but in February 2005 determined that the transaction should have been accounted for using purchase accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51 “Accounting for Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary.” Consequently, we have restated our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the first three quarters of 2004 (See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2005).
      Management has concluded that the need to restate our financial statements resulted, in part, from the lack of sufficient experienced accounting personnel, which in turn resulted in a lack of effective control over the financial reporting process.
      We have implemented a number of actions that we believe address the deficiencies in our financial reporting process, including the following:
  •  The addition of experienced accounting personnel with appropriate experience and qualifications to perform quality review procedures and to satisfy our financial reporting obligations. During August 2004, we hired a new chief financial officer and in October 2004 we hired a full-time in-house general counsel. In March 2005, we hired a certified public accountant as our financial reporting manager and in July 2005 we hired as chief accounting officer, a certified public accountant who has significant prior experience as a chief accounting officer of a publicly traded company. In 2006, we have added three additional certified public accountants in connection with the growth of our business and to implement and monitor compliance with internal control processes.

44


Table of Contents

  •  In the fourth quarter of 2004, we engaged an independent internal controls consulting firm which is in the process of documenting, analyzing, identifying and correcting deficiencies and testing our internal controls and procedures, including our controls over internal financial reporting.
 
  •  We are in the final stages of completing the implementation of a new accounting software to facilitate timely and accurate reporting.
      Although we have implemented a number of actions as described above, we have not yet had sufficient time to test the newly implemented actions.
Results of Operations
      In February 2002, we acquired 81% of the capital stock of Allis-Chalmers Tubular Services Inc., or Tubular. In February 2002, we also purchased substantially all the outstanding common stock and preferred stock of Strata Directional Technology, Inc., or Strata. The results from our casing and tubing services and directional drilling services are included in our operating results from February 1, 2002.
      In July 2003, through our subsidiary Mountain Compressed Air, Inc., or Mountain Air, we entered into a limited liability company agreement with M-I, a company owned by Smith International and Schlumberger N.V., to form AirComp. We owned 55% and M-I owned 45% of AirComp until we purchased M-I’s interest in July 2005. We have consolidated AirComp into our financial statements beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2003.
      In September 2004, we acquired the remaining 19% of Tubular and we acquired Safco. In November 2004, AirComp acquired substantially all of the assets of Diamond Air and, in December 2004, we acquired Downhole. We consolidated the results of these acquisitions from the day they were acquired.
      In April 2005, we acquired Delta and, in May 2005, we acquired Capcoil. We report the operations of Downhole and Capcoil as our production services segment and the operations of Safco and Delta as our rental tools segment. In July 2005, we acquired the 45% interest of M-I in our compressed air drilling subsidiary, AirComp, making us the 100% owner of AirComp. In addition, in July 2005, we acquired the compressed air drilling assets of W.T. On August 1, 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Target Energy Inc., or Target. The results of Target are included in our directional and horizontal drilling segment as their measurement-while-drilling equipment is utilized in that segment. On September 1, 2005, we acquired the casing and tubing service assets of Patterson Services, Inc., or Patterson. We consolidated the results of these acquisitions from the day they were acquired.
      In January 2006, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Specialty.
      The foregoing acquisitions affect the comparability from period to period of our historical results, and our historical results may not be indicative of our future results.
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005
      Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $47.0 million, an increase of 143.2% compared to $19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Revenues increased in all of our business segments due to acquisitions completed in the second and third quarters of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, improved pricing for our services, the addition of operations and sales personnel, the opening of new operations offices and the purchase of additional equipment. Revenues increased most significantly at our rental tools segment due to the acquisition of Specialty, effective January 1, 2006 and Delta on April 1, 2005, and at the compressed air drilling segment due to the

45

acquisition of the air drilling assets of W.T. on July 11, 2005, and improved pricing for our services in West Texas. Our directional drilling services segment revenues increased in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period due to improved pricing for directional drilling services, the acquisition of Target which provides measurement-while-drilling tools, the addition of operations and sales personnel, the opening of new operations offices and the purchase of additional down-hole motors which increased our capacity and market presence.
      Revenues also increased at our casing and tubing services segment due the acquisition of the casing and tubing assets of Patterson on September 1, 2005, along with improved market conditions and increased market penetration for our services in South Texas, East Texas, Louisiana and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Also contributing to increased revenues was the acquisition of Capcoil as of May 1, 2005 in our production services segment.
      Our gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased 195.8% to $16.7 million, or 35.4% of revenues, compared to $5.6 million, or 29.1%, of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues is due to the acquisition of Specialty as of January 1, 2006 and the acquisition of Delta as of April 1, 2005, in the high margin rental tool business. The increase in gross profit is also due to increased revenues at our compressed air drilling services segment, including the acquisition of the air drilling assets of W.T., increased revenues and improved pricing in the directional drilling services segment, improved market conditions for our domestic casing and tubing segment and the acquisition of additional casing and tubing assets in September 2005. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense of 264.3% to $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2006 compared to $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2005. The increase is due to additional depreciable assets resulting from the acquisitions and capital expenditures. Our cost of revenues consists principally of our labor costs and benefits, equipment rentals, maintenance and repairs of our equipment, depreciation, insurance and fuel. Because many of our costs are fixed, our gross profit as a percentage of revenues is generally affected by our level of revenues.
      General and administrative expense was $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2006 period compared to $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2005. General and administrative expense increased due to stock option expense, the additional expenses associated with the acquisitions, and the hiring of additional sales and administrative personnel. General and administrative expense also increased because of increased accounting and consulting fees and other expenses in connection with initiatives to strengthen our internal control processes, costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts and increased corporate accounting and administrative staff. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 15.6% in the 2006 quarter and 15.5% in the 2005 quarter.
      We adopted SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, effective January 1, 2006. This statement requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their grant-date fair values. With the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we recorded $0.9 million of expense related to stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2006. We recorded $83,000 of the stock option expense in direct costs and the remaining $859,000 of the stock option expense to general and administrative expense which is consistent with the cash based compensation for the option holder. We adopted SFAS No. 123R using 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, we record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005 by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over the remaining vesting periods of those awards with no change in historical reported earnings. Therefore, we recorded an expense of $0.9 million

related to stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for our stock-based compensation using Accounting Principle Board Opinion 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. Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized under APB No. 25.
      Amortization expense was $607,000 in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $394,000 in the first quarter of 2005. The increase in amortization expense is due to the amortization of intangible assets in connection with our acquisitions and the amortization of deferred financing costs.
      Income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 totaled $8.6 million, a 284.2% increase over income from operations of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, reflecting the increase in our revenues and gross profit, offset in part by increased general and administrative expenses, stock option expense and amortization.
      Our net interest expense was $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to $521,000 for the first quarter of 2005. Interest expense increased in the 2006 quarter due to the increased borrowings at a higher average interest rate. In January of 2006 we issued $160.0 million of senior notes bearing interest at 9.0% to fund the acquisition of Specialty, pay off other outstanding debt and for working capital.
      Minority interest in income of subsidiaries for the first quarter of 2006 was $0 compared to $144,000 for the first quarter of 2005 due to the acquisition of the minority interest in AirComp, as of July 11, 2005.
      We had net income of $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2006, an increase of 182.3%, compared to net income of $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2005.
      The following table compares revenues and income from operations for each of our business segments.

      Directional Drilling Services Segment. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 for our directional drilling services segment were $15.1 million, an increase of 52.0% from the $9.9 million in revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Income from operations increased 38.7% to $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2006 from $1.9 million for the comparable 2005 period. The improved results for this segment are due to the increase in drilling activity in the Texas and Gulf Coast areas, improved pricing for directional and horizontal drilling services, the acquisition of Target as of August 1, 2005, the establishment of new operations in West Texas and Oklahoma, and the addition of operations and

sales personnel which increased our capacity and market presence. Our increased operating expenses as a result of the addition of operations and personnel were more than offset by the growth in revenues and improved pricing for our services.
      Rental Tools Segment. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 for the rental tools segment were $10.4 million, from $373,000 in revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Income from operations increased to $5.0 million in the 2006 period compared to loss from operations of $80,000 in the 2005 period. Our rental tools revenues and operating income for the first quarter of 2006 increased compared to the prior year due primarily due to the acquisitions of Specialty and Delta. The acquisition of Specialty increased the rental tool revenue by $8.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Delta was acquired as of April 1, 2005, and Specialty was acquired as of January 1, 2006, the effective date of their respective acquisitions. Safco-Oil Field Products, Inc., or Safco, Delta and Specialty were merged in February 2006 to form Allis-Chalmers Rental Tools, Inc., or Rental Tools.
      Casing and Tubing Services Segment. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 for the casing and tubing services segment were $9.5 million, an increase of 165.7% from the $3.6 million in revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Revenues from domestic operations increased to $8.0 million in the 2006 period from $1.9 million in the 2005 period as a result of the acquisition of the casing and tubing assets of Patterson on September 1, 2005, which resulted in increased market penetration for our services in South Texas, East Texas, Louisiana and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Revenues from Mexico operations decreased to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $1.7 million in the 2005 period. Income from operations increased 39.5% to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase in this segment’s operating income is due to our increased revenues from domestic operations. The operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased to 19.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 37.3% for the same period of 2005. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of revenues is due to the increase in domestic revenues as compared to Mexico revenues, which have higher operating income margins.
      Compressed Air Drilling Services Segment. Our compressed air drilling revenues were $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 117.6% compared to $4.2 million in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Income from operations increased to $2.2 million in the 2006 period compared to income from operations of $527,000 in the 2005 period. Our compressed air drilling revenues and operating income for the first quarter of 2006 increased compared to the prior year due primarily due to the acquisition of the air drilling assets of W.T. as of July 11, 2005, improved pricing for our services and our investment in additional equipment.
      Production Services Segment. Operations for this segment consist of Downhole Injection Services, LLC, or Downhole, which was acquired December 1, 2004, and Capcoil which was acquired May 1, 2005. Downhole and Capcoil were merged in February 2006, to form Allis-Chalmers Production Services, Inc., or Production Services. Revenues were $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 127.1% compared to $1.3 million in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Income from operations increased to $277,000 in the 2006 period compared to loss from operations of $39,000 in the 2005 period. Our production services revenues and operating income for the first quarter of 2006 increased compared to the prior year due primarily due to the acquisition of Capcoil.
      General Corporate. General corporate expenses increased $1.9 million to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase was due to stock option expense of $0.9 million recorded in 2006 with the adoption of SFAS 123R, the increase in accounting and administrative staff to support the growing organization,

increased franchise taxes based on our increased authorized shares and cost related to our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance effort.
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004
      Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $105.3 million, an increase of 120.8% compared to $47.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in revenues was principally due to acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2004 and the second and third quarters of 2005, the addition of operations and sales personnel, the opening of new operations offices, and the purchase of additional equipment. Acquisitions completed during this period enabled us to establish our rental tool and production services segments which resulted in an increased offering of products and services and an expansion of our customer base. Directional drilling services segment revenues increased in the 2005 period compared to the 2004 period due to the addition of operations and sales personnel, the opening of new operations offices and the purchase of additional downhole motors which increased our capacity and market presence. Revenues increased at our compressed air drilling segment due to acquisition of the air drilling assets of W.T. on July 11, 2005, the acquisitions of substantially all of the assets of Diamond Air Drilling Services, Inc. and Marquis Bit Co., LLC, which we refer to collectively as Diamond Air, on November 1, 2004 and improved pricing for our services in West Texas.
      Revenues increased at our casing and tubing services segment due to the acquisition of the casing and tubing assets of Patterson on September 1, 2005, increased revenues from Mexico, improved market conditions, improved market penetration for our services in South Texas and the addition of operating personnel and equipment which broadened our capabilities. Also contributing to increased revenues were the acquisitions of Safco as of September 1, 2004, Downhole as of December 1, 2004, Delta as of April 1, 2005 and Capcoil as of May 1, 2005. Downhole and Capcoil comprise our production services segment and were merged in February 2006 to form Production Services. Safco and Delta comprise our rental tool segment and were merged in February 2006 with Specialty to form Rental Tools.
      Our gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased 146.1% to $30.6 million, or 29.0% of revenues, compared to $12.4 million, or 26.0% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase is due to increased revenues and improved pricing in the directional drilling services segment, increased revenues at our compressed air drilling services segment, including revenues resulting from the acquisition of Diamond Air and the compressed air drilling assets of W.T., increased revenues from Mexico, improved market conditions for our domestic casing and tubing segment and the growth of our rental tools segment through the acquisition of Delta on April 1, 2005. Depreciation expense increased 80.4% to $4.9 million in 2005 compared to $2.7 million in 2004. The increase is due to additional depreciable assets resulting from capital expenditures and acquisitions in 2004 and 2005. Our cost of revenues consists principally of our labor costs and benefits, equipment rentals, maintenance and repairs of our equipment, depreciation, insurance and fuel. Because many of our costs are fixed, our gross profit as a percentage of revenues is generally affected by our level of revenues.
      General and administrative expense was $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. General and administrative expense increased due to the additional expenses associated with the acquisitions completed in the second half of 2004 and in 2005, and the hiring of additional sales and administrative personnel. General and administrative expense also increased because of increased legal and accounting fees and other expenses related to our financing and acquisition activities, increased consulting fees in connection with our internal controls and corporate governance process, and increased corporate accounting and administrative staff. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 15.1% for 2005 and 14.9% for 2004.

      Amortization expense was $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in amortization expense is due to the amortization of intangible assets in connection with our acquisitions and the amortization of deferred financing costs.
      Income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 totaled $13.2 million, a 212.7% increase over the $4.2 million in income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2004, reflecting the increase in our revenues and gross profit, offset in part by increased general and administrative expenses.
      Our interest expense was $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Interest expense increased during 2005 due to the increased borrowings associated with the acquisitions completed in the second and third quarters of 2005, equipment purchases and higher average interest rates, offset in part by the prepayment, in December 2004, of our 12% $2.4 million subordinated note. Additionally, in 2005, we incurred debt retirement expense of $1.1 million related to the refinancing of our debt. This amount includes prepayment penalties and the write-off of deferred financing fees from a previous financing.
      Minority interest in income of subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $488,000 compared to $321,000 for the corresponding period in 2004 due to the increase in profitability at AirComp due in part to the acquisition of Diamond Air as of November 1, 2004. The minority interest at AirComp was acquired on July 11, 2005 and the minority interest in Tubular, which was 19%-owned by director Jens Mortensen, was acquired on September 30, 2004.
      We had net income attributed to common stockholders of $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 839.1%, compared to the net income attributed to common stockholders of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The net income attributed to common stockholders in the 2004 period is after $124,000 in preferred stock dividends were distributed.
      The following table compares revenues and income from operations for each of our business segments for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

      Directional Drilling Services Segment. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 for our directional drilling services segment were $43.9 million, an increase of 77.1% from the $24.8 million in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004. Income from operations increased 141.4% to $7.4 million for 2005 from $3.1 million for 2004. The improved results for this segment are due to the increase in drilling activity in Texas and the Gulf Coast area, the establishment of new operations in West Texas and Oklahoma, the addition of operations and sales personnel, the purchase of additional

downhole motors which increased our capacity and market presence and the acquisition of Target, a provider of measurement-while-drilling equipment, effective August 2005. Our operating income increased due to higher revenue explained above and cost savings achieved as a result of the purchases of most of the downhole motors used in directional drilling, which we had previously rented.
      Compressed Air Drilling Services Segment. Our compressed air drilling revenues were $25.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 122.0% compared to $11.6 million in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004. Income from operations increased 380.1% to $5.6 million in 2005 compared to income from operations of $1.2 million in 2004. Our compressed air drilling revenues and operating income for the 2005 period increased compared to the 2004 period due in part to the acquisition of the air drilling assets of W.T., the acquisition of Diamond Air as of November 1, 2004 and improved pricing in West Texas.
      Casing and Tubing Services Segment. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 for the casing and tubing services segment were $20.9 million, an increase of 101.4% from the $10.4 million in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004. Revenues from domestic operations increased to $14.5 million in 2005 from $5.2 million in 2004 as a result of the acquisition of the casing and tubing assets of Patterson on September 1, 2005, improved market conditions for our services in South Texas and the addition of personnel which added to our capabilities and our offering of services. Revenues from Mexican operations increased to $6.4 million in 2005 from $5.2 million in 2004 as a result of increased drilling activity in Mexico and the addition of equipment that increased our capacity. Income from operations increased 55.2% to $5.0 million in 2005 from $3.2 million in 2004. The increase in this segment’s operating income is due to increased revenues both domestically and in our Mexico operations.
      Rental Tools Segment. Our rental tools revenues were $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 728.0% compared to $0.6 million in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004. Income from operations increased to $1.3 million in 2005 compared to a loss from operations of $71,000 in 2004. Operations for this segment include Safco, acquired in September 2004, and Delta, acquired in April 2005.
      Production Services Segment. Our production services revenues were $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $376,000 in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004. Loss from operations was $99,000 in 2005 compared to an operating income of $4,000 in 2004. Operations for this segment consist of Downhole, acquired December 1, 2004, and Capcoil, acquired May 1, 2005. We plan to grow this segment and improve profitability by increasing our market presence and our critical mass and adding additional capillary and coil tubing units. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2005 for this segment were negatively affected by costs incurred to expand our international presence for production services and by downtime experienced by one of our larger coil tubing units.
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003
      Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $47.7 million, an increase of 45.8% compared to $32.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Revenues increased due to increased demand for our services due to the general increase in oil and gas drilling activity. Revenues increased most significantly at our directional drilling services segment due to the addition of operations and sales personnel, which increased our capacity and market presence. Additionally, our compressed air drilling services revenues in 2004 increased compared to the year 2003 due to the inclusion, for a full year in 2004, of the business contributed by M-I in connection with the formation of AirComp in July 2003 and the acquisition of Diamond Air on November 1, 2004. We have consolidated AirComp into our financial

statements beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Also contributing to the increase in revenues was an increase in Mexico revenues at our casing and tubing services segment, which was offset in part by a decrease in domestic revenues for this segment due to increased competition for casing and tubing services in South Texas. Finally, in the second half of 2004, we acquired Safco, our rental tools subsidiary, as of September 1, and as of December 1, 2004, we acquired Downhole, our production services subsidiary.
      Our gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased 42.9% to $12.4 million, or 26.0% of revenues, compared to $8.7 million, or 26.6% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003, due to the increase in revenues in the directional drilling services segment, the compressed air drilling services segment and from Mexico, which more than offset lower revenues and higher costs in our domestic casing and tubing segment. Our cost of revenues consists principally of our labor costs and benefits, equipment rentals, maintenance and repairs of our equipment, depreciation, insurance and fuel. Because many of our costs are fixed, our gross profit as a percentage of revenues is generally affected by our level of revenues.
      General and administrative expense was $7.1 million in the 2004 period compared to $5.3 million for 2003. General and administrative expense increased in 2004 due to additional expenses associated with the inclusion of AirComp for a full year, the acquisitions completed in the second half of 2004, and the hiring of additional sales and administrative personnel at each of our subsidiaries. General and administrative expense also increased because of increased professional fees and other expenses related to our financing and acquisition activities, including the listing of our common stock on the American Stock Exchange, and increased corporate accounting and administrative staff. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 14.9% in 2004 and 16.2% in 2003.
      Depreciation and amortization was $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase was due to the inclusion of AirComp for a full year and the increase in our assets resulting from our capital expenditures and the acquisitions completed in 2004.
      Income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $4.2 million, a 61.0% increase over the $2.6 million in income from operations for the prior year, reflecting the increase in our revenues and gross profit, offset in part by an increase in general and administrative expense. Income from operations in the year ended December 31, 2004 includes $188,000 in additional accrued expense for post-retirement medical benefits pursuant to our plan of reorganization. The increase in this accrued expense was based on the present value of the expected retiree benefit obligations as determined by a third-party actuary. Income from operations for the year 2003 includes income of $99,000, which resulted from a reduction in projected post-retirement benefits based on the third-party actuary at the end of 2003.
      Our interest expense increased to $2.8 million in 2004, compared to $2.5 million for the prior year, in spite of the decrease in our total debt. Interest expense in 2004 includes $359,000 in warrant put amortization, including the retirement of warrants in connection with the prepayment, in December 2004, of our $2.4 million 12.0% subordinated note. Interest expense in 2003 includes $216,000 in connection with the acceleration, in 2003, of the amortization of a put obligation related to subordinated debt at Mountain Air. The subordinated debt including accrued interest was paid off in connection with the formation of AirComp in 2003.
      Minority interest in income of subsidiaries for the year 2004 was $321,000 compared to $343,000 for the year 2003. The increase in net income at AirComp was offset in part by the elimination of minority interest in Tubular, which was 19%-owned by director Jens Mortensen until September 30, 2004.

      We had net income attributed to common stockholders of $764,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to net income attributed to common stockholders of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. In 2003, we recognized a non-operating gain on sale of an interest in a subsidiary in the amount of $2.4 million in connection with the formation of AirComp, and recognized a one-time gain of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2003 as a result of settling a lawsuit against the former owners of Mountain Air.
      The following table compares revenues and income from operations for each of our business segments for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. Income from operations consists of our revenues less cost of revenues, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization:

      Directional Drilling Services Segment. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 for our directional drilling services segment were $24.8 million, an increase of 54.8% from the $16.0 million in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003. Income from operations increased by 177.5% to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $1.1 million for 2003. The improved results for this segment are due to the increase in drilling activity in Texas and the Gulf Coast area and the addition of operations and sales personnel which increased our capacity and market presence. Increased operating expenses as a result of the addition of personnel were more than offset by the growth in revenues and cost savings as a result of purchases, in late 2003 and in 2004, of most of the down-hole motors used in directional drilling. Previously we had leased these motors.
      Compressed Air Drilling Services Segment. Our compressed air drilling revenues were $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of 73.1% compared to $6.7 million in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003. Income from operations increased to $1.2 million in 2004 compared to income from operations of $17,000 in 2003. Our compressed air drilling revenues and operating income for the year 2004 increased compared to the prior year due to the inclusion, for a full year in 2004, of the business contributed by M-I, in connection with the formation of AirComp in July 2003, and the acquisition of Diamond Air as of November 1, 2004.
      Casing and Tubing Services Segment. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 for the casing and tubing services segment were $10.4 million, an increase of 3.5% from the $10.0 million in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003. Revenues from domestic operations decreased from $6.3 million in 2003 to $5.1 million in the year 2004 as a result of increased competition in South Texas, resulting in fewer contracts awarded to us and lower pricing for our services. Revenues from Mexican operations, however, increased from $3.7 million in 2003 to $5.3 million in the 2004 period as a result of increased drilling activity in Mexico and the addition of equipment that increased our capacity. Income from operations decreased by 11.3% to $3.2 million in 2004 from $3.6 million in 2003. The decrease in this segment’s revenues and operating income is due to the decrease in revenues

from domestic operations and increases in wages and benefits domestically, which was partially offset by increased revenues from Mexico.
      Other Services Segment. Revenues for this segment consist of Safco’s rental tool business, beginning September 1, 2004, and Downhole’s production services beginning December 1, 2004, the effective date of their respective acquisitions. Revenues for this segment were $987,000 with a loss from operations of $67,000. It is our plan to grow in these businesses thereby improving profitability as we increase our market presence and our critical mass.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
      Our on-going capital requirements arise primarily from our need to service our debt, to complete acquisitions and acquire and maintain equipment, and to fund our working capital requirements. Our primary sources of liquidity are borrowings under our revolving lines of credit, proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities and cash flows from operations. We had cash and cash equivalents of $10.7 million at March 31, 2006 compared to $1.9 million at December 31, 2005, $7.3 million at December 31, 2004 and $1.3 million at December 31, 2003.
Operating Activities
      In the three months ended March 31, 2006, our operating activities used $5.6 million in cash compared to a use of $822,000 for the same period in 2005. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased to $4.4 million, compared to $1.6 million in the 2005 period. The $4.4 million in net income for the 2006 period includes a charge of $0.9 million related to the expensing of stock options as required under SFAS No. 123R. Revenues and income from operations increased in the first three months of 2006 due to acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2006 and the second and third quarters of 2005, the investment in additional equipment, the opening of new operations offices and the addition of operations and sales personnel. Non-cash expenses totaled $4.9 million during the first three months of 2006 consisting of $3.9 million of depreciation and amortization, $0.9 million from the expensing of stock options, $355,000 of imputed interest related to the effective date of the Specialty acquisition, $180,000 related to increases to the allowance for doubtful accounts receivables, offset by $514,000 on the gain from asset retirements. Non-cash expenses during the first three months of 2005 totaled $1.5 million, consisting of depreciation and amortization expense of $1.3 million and minority interest of $144,000.
      During the three months ended March 31, 2006, changes in operating assets and liabilities used $14.9 million in cash, principally due to an increase of $4.3 million in accounts receivable, an increase of $1.5 million in inventory, a decrease of $1.3 million in accounts payable, and a decrease of $11.0 million in an accrued expense, offset in part by an increase of $2.8 million in accrued interest. Accounts receivable increased due to the increase in our revenues in the first three months of 2006. Other inventory increased primarily due to increased activity levels. The decrease in accrued expenses can be attributed to accrued bonuses of Specialty that we paid in connection with the acquisition. The increase in accrued interest relates to our 9.0% senior notes.
      During the three months ended March 31, 2005, changes in operating assets and liabilities used $3.8 million in cash, principally due to an increase of $3.4 million in accounts receivable, an increase of $515,000 in inventory and other assets, and a decrease of $92,000 in accrued expenses, offset in part by an increase in accrued salaries, benefits and payroll taxes of $185,000. Accounts receivable increased by $3.4 million at March 31, 2005 due to the increase in our revenues in the first quarter of 2005. Other assets increased due primarily to an increase in prepaid insurance related to insurance premium deposits required for our policies that went into affect April 1, 2005.

Investing Activities
      During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we used $89.8 million in investing activities, consisting of $83.4 million for the acquisition of Specialty, net of cash received and $7.6 million for capital expenditures, offset by $1.2 million of proceeds from equipment sales. Included in the $7.6 million for capital expenditures was $2.6 million for the expansion of our measurement-while-drilling equipment used in the directional drilling segment and $2.2 million for additional equipment in our compressed air drilling services segment. A majority of our equipment sales relate to items “lost in hole” by our customers. During the first three months of 2005, we used $2.7 million in investing activities, consisting principally of the purchase of equipment of $1.6 million for casing equipment, approximately $263,000 for the purchase of downhole motors and approximately $779,000 for new compressed air drilling equipment.
Financing Activities
      During the three months ended March 31, 2006, financing activities provided $104.1 million in cash. We received $161.4 million in proceeds from long-term debt, repaid $43.5 million in borrowings under long-term debt facilities, repaid $3.0 million in related party debt, repaid $6.4 million under our line of credit and paid $5.3 in debt issuance costs. We also received $972,000 in proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants. On January 18, 2006, we closed on a private offering of $160.0 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes. The notes are due January 15, 2014 and bear interest at 9.0%. The proceeds from the sale of the notes were used to fund the Specialty acquisition, to repay existing debt and for general corporate purposes.
      During the three months ended March 31, 2005, financing activities provided a net of $2.2 million in cash. We received $2.4 million, net, in borrowings under long-term debt facilities and paid $178,000 in debt issuance costs.
      Prior to January 18, 2006, we were party to a July 2005 credit 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 to be used to finance working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the issuance of standby letters of credit. Outstanding borrowings under 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% at December 31, 2005.
      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.
      All amounts outstanding under our July 2005 credit agreement were paid off with the proceeds of our senior notes offering on January 18, 2006. On January 18, 2006, we also executed an amended and

55


Table of Contents

restated credit agreement which provides for a $25.0 million revolving line of credit with a maturity of January 2010. Our January 2006 amended and restated credit agreement contains customary events of default and financial covenants and limits our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make capital expenditures, pay dividends or make other distributions, create liens and sell assets. Our obligations under the January 2006 amended and restated credit agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets.
      At March 31, 2006, we had $169.1 million in outstanding indebtedness, of which $166.0 million was long term debt and $3.1 million was the current portion of long term debt.
      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, the subordinated note is convertible into up to 700,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the market value of the common stock at the time of conversion.
      As of December 31, 2005, Tubular had a subordinated note outstanding and 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 was January 31, 2006. The subordinated note was subordinated to the rights of our bank lenders. 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. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the outstanding amounts due were $500,000.
      In connection with the purchase of Delta, we issued to the sellers a note in the amount of $350,000. The note bears interest at 2% and the principal and accrued interest was repaid on its maturity of April 1, 2006.
      In connection with the purchase of Tubular, we agreed to pay a total of $1.2 million to Mr. Mortensen in exchange for a non-compete agreement. Monthly payments of $20,576 are due under this agreement through January 31, 2007. In connection with the purchase of Safco, we also agreed to pay a total of $150,000 to the sellers in exchange for a non-compete agreement. We are required to make annual payments of $50,000 through September 30, 2007. In connection with the purchase of Capcoil, we agreed to pay a total of $500,000 to two management employees in exchange for non-compete agreements. We are required to make annual payments of $110,000 through May 2008. Total amounts due under non-compete agreements at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $615,000 and $698,000, respectively.
      In 2000 we compensated directors, including current directors Nederlander and Toboroff, who served on the board of directors from 1989 to March 31, 1999 without compensation, by issuing promissory notes totaling $325,000. The notes bear interest at the rate of 5.0%. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the principal and accrued interest on these notes totaled approximately $96,000.

      We also had a real estate loan which was payable in equal monthly installments of $4,344 with the remaining outstanding balance due on January 1, 2010. The loan has a floating interest rate based on prime plus 2.0%. The outstanding principal balance was $548,000 at December 31, 2005. The balance of this loan was repaid in full in January 2006 with proceeds from our senior notes offering.
      We have various equipment financing loans with interest rates ranging from 5% to 8.2% and terms ranging from 2 to 5 years. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the outstanding balances for equipment financing loans were $2.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively. We also have various capital leases with terms that expire in 2008. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, amounts outstanding under capital leases were $796,000 and $917,000, respectively. In January 2006, we prepaid $350,000 of the outstanding equipment loans with proceeds from our senior notes offering.
      The following table summarizes our obligations and commitments to make future payments under our notes payable, operating leases, employment contracts and consulting agreements for the periods specified as of December 31, 2005.

(a)  In January of 2006 we issued $160.0 million of senior notes due 2014 and repaid $48.5 million of debt due in 2-3 years and $3.1 million due in less than one year.
(b)  These amounts represent our minimum capital lease payments, net of interest payments totaling $69,000.
      We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, other than normal operating leases and employee contracts shown above, that have or are likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We do not guarantee obligations of any unconsolidated entities.
     Capital Requirements
      We have identified capital expenditure projects that we expect will require up to approximately $14.0 million for the remainder of 2006, exclusive of any acquisitions. We believe that our current cash generated from operations, cash available under our credit facilities and cash on hand will provide sufficient funds for our identified projects.
      We intend to implement a growth strategy of increasing the scope of services through both internal growth and acquisitions. We are regularly involved in discussions with a number of potential acquisition candidates. The acquisition of assets could require additional financing, which we currently anticipate would be borrowed under our bank facility. Any such borrowing would require the consent of our lenders under our bank credit facilities. We also expect to make capital expenditures to acquire and to maintain our existing equipment. Our performance and cash flow from operations will be determined by the demand for our services which in turn are affected by our customers’ expenditures for oil and gas exploration and development, and industry perceptions and expectations of future oil and natural gas

prices in the areas where we operate. We will need to refinance our existing debt facilities as they become due and provide funds for capital expenditures and acquisitions. To effect our expansion plans, we will require additional equity or debt financing and the proceeds of the pending offering. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional debt or equity capital or that we can do so on terms that will be acceptable to us.
Recent Developments
      Amendments to Credit Agreement
      In conjunction with this offering and the pending acquisition of DLS, we expect to amend the credit agreement governing our $25.0 million credit facility to, among other things, provide for the acquisition of DLS, permit the net proceeds from this offering and the issuance of an additional $80.0 million of our senior notes to be used for the acquisition of DLS, increase the sub-limit for the issuance of stand-by letters of credit, increase permitted capital expenditures and increase permitted indebtedness at DLS.
      Second Quarter 2006 Results
      On July 20, 2006, we announced our results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
      Revenues for the second quarter 2006 rose 156.4% to $60.5 million compared to $23.6 million for the second quarter of 2005. The solid growth in revenues was due to continued success with integrating recent acquisitions while expanding operating locations, personnel and equipment and growing our customer base in response to strong demand for our products and services.
      Income from operations grew 444.6%, which was substantially higher than the percentage growth in revenues, to $15.9 million for second quarter 2006, from $2.9 million in last year’s second quarter.
      Net income for the second quarter of 2006 attributed to common shares increased 442.3% to $9.6 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2005. Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on a diluted basis increased to 19.1 million shares for the second quarter of 2006 from 15.1 million shares for the second quarter of 2005.
      EBITDA increased 396.8% to $20.4 million for the second quarter of 2006, from $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2005.
      EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The following table reconciles our net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA:

the first six months of 2006 rose 320.2% to $14.0 million, or $0.74 per diluted shares, from net income of $3.3 million or $0.22 per diluted share in the first six months of 2005. Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on a diluted basis increased to 19.0 million shares for the six month period of 2006 from 14.9 million shares for the same period of 2005.
Critical Accounting Policies
      We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our preparation of this prospectus requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
      Allowance for doubtful accounts. The determination of the collectibility of amounts due from our customers requires us to use estimates and make judgments regarding future events and trends, including monitoring our customer payment history and current credit worthiness to determine that collectibility is reasonably assured, as well as consideration of the overall business climate in which our customers operate. Those uncertainties require us to make frequent judgments and estimates regarding our customers’ ability to pay amounts due us in order to determine the appropriate amount of valuation allowances required for doubtful accounts. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded when it becomes evident that the customers will not be able to make the required payments at either contractual due dates or in the future.
      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. The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” provides guidance on the SEC staff’s views on 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.
      Impairment of long-lived assets. Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles, comprise a significant amount of our total assets. We make judgments and estimates in conjunction with the carrying value of these assets, including amounts to be capitalized, depreciation and amortization methods and useful lives. Additionally, the carrying values of these assets are reviewed for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded in the period in which it is determined that the carrying amount is not recoverable. This requires us to make long-term forecasts of our future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review. These forecasts require assumptions about demand for our products and services, future market conditions and technological developments. Significant and unanticipated changes to these assumptions could require a provision for impairment in a future period.
      Goodwill and other intangibles. As of December 31, 2005, we have recorded approximately $12.4 million of goodwill and $6.8 million of other identifiable intangible assets. We perform purchase price allocations to intangible assets when we make a business combination. Business combinations and

59


Table of Contents

purchase price allocations have been consummated for acquisitions in all of our reportable segments. The excess of the purchase price after allocation of fair values to tangible assets is allocated to identifiable intangibles and thereafter to goodwill. Subsequently, we perform our initial impairment tests and annual impairment tests in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” These initial valuations used two approaches to determine the carrying amount of the individual reporting units. The first approach is the Discounted Cash Flow Method, which focuses on our expected cash flow. In applying this approach, the cash flow available for distribution is projected for a finite period of years. Cash flow available for distribution is defined as the amount of cash that could be distributed as a dividend without impairing our future profitability or operations. The cash flow available for distribution and the terminal value (our value at the end of the estimation period) are then discounted to present value to derive an indication of value of the business enterprise. This valuation method is dependent upon the assumptions made regarding future cash flow and cash requirements. The second approach is the Guideline Company Method which focuses on comparing us to selected reasonably similar publicly traded companies. Under this method, valuation multiples are: (i) derived from operating data of selected similar companies; (ii) evaluated and adjusted based on our strengths and weaknesses relative to the selected guideline companies; and (iii) applied to our operating data to arrive at an indication of value. This valuation method is dependent upon the assumption that our value can be evaluated by analysis of our earnings and our strengths and weaknesses relative to the selected similar companies. Significant and unanticipated changes to these assumptions could require a provision for impairment in a future period.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
      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 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 Statement. SFAS No. 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 154 as of January 1, 2006 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations.
      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 adopted SFAS No. 123R as of January 1, 2006 and used 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. See Note 3 of our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2006, for a more detailed description of our adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
      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

60

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 adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 151, on a prospective basis, as of January 1, 2006 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
      We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange risks.
      Interest Rate Risk. Fluctuations in the general level of interest rates on our current and future fixed and variable rate debt obligations expose us to market risk. We are vulnerable to significant fluctuations in interest rates affecting our adjustable rate debt, and any future refinancing of our fixed rate debt and our future debt.
      At December 31, 2005, we were exposed to interest rate fluctuations on approximately $49.0 million of notes payable and bank credit facility borrowings carrying variable interest rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we repaid all variable interest rate debt.
      We have also been subject to interest rate market risk for short-term invested cash and cash equivalents. The principal of such invested funds would not be subject to fluctuating value because of their highly liquid short-term nature. As of March 31, 2006, we had $9.3 million invested in short-term maturing investments.
      Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. We conduct business in Mexico through our Mexican partner, Matyep. This business exposes us to foreign exchange risk. To control this risk, we provide for payment in U.S. dollars. However, we have historically provided our partner a discount upon payment equal to 50% of any loss suffered by our partner as a result of devaluation of the Mexican peso between the date of invoicing and the date of payment. To date, such payments have not been material in amount.

OUR BUSINESS
Our Company
      We provide services and equipment to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, domestically in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Utah, Wyoming, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, and internationally in Mexico. We operate in five sectors of the oil and natural gas service industry: directional drilling services; compressed air drilling services; casing and tubing services; rental tools; and production services. Providing high-quality, technologically advanced services and equipment is central to our operating strategy. As a result of our commitment to customer service, we have developed strong relationships with many of the leading oil and natural gas companies, including both independents and majors.
      Our growth strategy is focused on identifying and pursuing opportunities in markets we believe are growing faster than the overall oilfield services industry in which we believe we can capitalize on our competitive strengths. Over the past several years, we have significantly expanded the geographic scope of our operations and the range of services we provide through internal growth and strategic acquisitions. Our organic growth has primarily been achieved through expanding our geographic scope, acquiring complementary equipment, hiring personnel to service new regions and cross-selling our products and services from existing operating locations. Since 2001, we have completed 15 acquisitions, including six in 2005 and two in 2006. In January 2006, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Specialty for $96.0 million. Our acquisition of Specialty not only balances our revenue mix generated between rental tools and service operations and between onshore and offshore operations, but also enhances the scope, capacity and customer base in our rental tools business. In April 2006, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Rogers for approximately $13.7 million. Our acquisition of Rogers not only enhanced our casing and tubing operations with its tubing, tongs and casings services, but also increased our rental tools operations with its inventory of rental equipment, including drill pipe tongs, accessories, hydraulic power units and hydraulic tong positioners. Giving pro forma as adjusted effect to the Specialty transactions, our recent acquisition of Rogers and the DLS transactions, we would have generated revenues of $281.3 million, net income of $8.2 million and EBITDA of $68.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Giving pro forma as adjusted effect to the Rogers and DLS acquisitions, we would have generated revenues of $87.9 million, net income of $7.5 million and EBITDA of $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Industry Overview
      We provide products and services primarily to domestic onshore and offshore oil and natural gas exploration and production companies. The main factor influencing demand for our products and services is the level of drilling activity by oil and natural gas companies, which, in turn, depends largely on current and anticipated future crude oil and natural gas prices and production depletion rates. According to the Energy Information Agency of the U.S. Department of Energy, or EIA, from 1990 to 2005, demand for oil and natural gas in the United States grew at an average annual rate of 1.5%, while supply decreased at an average annual rate of just over 2%. Current industry forecasts suggest an increasing demand for oil and natural gas coupled with a flat or declining production curve, which we believe should result in the continuation of historically high crude oil and natural gas commodity prices. The EIA forecasts that U.S. oil and natural gas consumption will increase at an average annual rate of 1.4% and 1.3% through 2025, respectively. Conversely, the EIA estimates that U.S. oil production will remain flat, and natural gas production will increase at an average annual rate of 0.6%.
      We anticipate that oil and natural gas exploration and production companies will continue to increase capital spending for their exploration and drilling programs. In recent years, much of this expansion has focused on natural gas drilling activities. According to Baker Hughes’ rig count data, the average total rig count in the United States increased 81% from 918 in 2000 to 1,666 in June 2006, while the average natural gas rig count increased 89% from 720 in 2000 to 1,359 in June 2006. While the number of rigs drilling for natural gas has increased by approximately 200% since the beginning of 1996, natural gas production has only increased by approximately 1.5% over the same period of time.

63


Table of Contents

This is largely a function of increasing decline rates for natural gas wells in the United States. We believe that a continued increase in drilling activity will be required for the natural gas industry to help meet the expected increased demand for natural gas in the United States.
      We believe oil and natural gas producers are becoming increasingly focused on their core competencies in identifying reserves and reducing burdensome capital and maintenance costs. In addition, we believe our customers are currently consolidating their supplier bases to streamline their purchasing operations and benefit from economies of scale.
Competitive Strengths
      We believe the following competitive strengths will enable us to capitalize on future opportunities:
      Strategic position in high growth markets. We focus on markets we believe are growing faster than the overall oilfield services industry and in which we can capitalize on our competitive strengths. Pursuant to this strategy, we have become a leading provider of products and services in what we believe to be two of the fastest growing segments of the oilfield services industry: directional drilling and air drilling. We employ approximately 75 full-time directional drillers, and we believe our ability to attract and retain experienced drillers has made us a leader in the segment. We also believe we are one of the largest air drillers based on amount of air drilling equipment. In addition, we have significant operations in what we believe will be among the higher growth oil and natural gas producing regions within the United States and internationally, including the Barnett Shale in North Texas, onshore and offshore Louisiana, the Piceance Basin in Southern Colorado and all five oil and natural gas producing regions in Mexico.
      Strong relationships with diversified customer base. Our diverse customer base is characterized by strong relationships with many of the major and independent oil and natural gas producers and service companies throughout Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Utah, Wyoming, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico. Our largest customers include Burlington Resources, ConocoPhilips, BP, ChevronTexaco, Kerr-McGee, Dominion Resources, Remington Oil and Gas, Petrohawk Energy, Newfield Exploration, El Paso Corporation, Matyep and Anadarko Petroleum. Since 2002, we have broadened our customer base as a result of our acquisitions, technical expertise and reputation for quality customer service and by providing customers with technologically advanced equipment and highly skilled operating personnel.
      Successful execution of growth strategy. Over the past five years, we have grown both organically and through successful acquisitions of competing businesses. Since 2001, we have completed 15 acquisitions. Our approach is to improve the operating performance of the businesses we acquire by increasing their asset utilization and operating efficiency. These acquisitions have expanded our geographic presence and customer base and, in turn, have enabled us to cross-sell various products and services through our existing operating locations.
      Experienced and dedicated management team. The members of our executive management team have extensive experience in the energy sector, and consequently have developed strong and longstanding relationships with many of the major and independent exploration and production companies. We believe that our management team has demonstrated its ability to grow our businesses organically, make strategic acquisitions and successfully integrate these acquired businesses into our operations.

Business Strategy
      The key elements of our growth strategy include:
      Expand geographically to provide greater access and service to key customer segments. We have recently opened new locations in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma and Louisiana in order to enhance our proximity to customers and more efficiently serve their needs. We intend to continue to establish new locations in active oil and natural gas producing regions in the United States and internationally in order to increase the utilization of our equipment and personnel. Our pending acquisition of DLS will also allow us to provide a platform for further international growth and increase our opportunities to cross-sell existing Allis-Chalmers products and services in the international markets.
      Prudently pursue strategic acquisitions. To complement our organic growth, we seek to opportunistically complete, at attractive valuations, strategic acquisitions that will complement our products and services, expand our geographic footprint and market presence, further diversify our customer base and be accretive to earnings.
      Expand products and services provided in existing operating locations. Since the beginning of 2003, we have invested approximately $35.3 million in capital expenditures to grow our business organically by expanding our product and service offerings in existing operating locations. This strategy is consistent with our belief that oil and natural gas producers more heavily favor integrated suppliers that can provide a broad product and service offering in many geographic locations.
      Increase utilization of assets. We seek to grow revenues and enhance margins by continuing to increase the utilization of our rental assets with new and existing customers. We expect to accomplish this through leveraging longstanding relationships with our customers and cross-selling our suite of services and equipment, while taking advantage of continued improvements in industry fundamentals. We also expect to continue to implement this strategy in our recently expanded rental tools segment, thus improving the utilization and profitability of this newly acquired business with minimal additional investment.
      Target services in which we have a competitive advantage. Consolidation in the oilfield services industry has created an opportunity for us to compete effectively in markets that are underserved by the large oilfield services and equipment companies. In addition, we believe we can provide a more comprehensive range of products and services than many of our smaller competitors.
Business Segments
      Directional Drilling Services. Through Strata and Target, we utilize state-of-the-art equipment to provide well planning and engineering services, directional drilling packages, downhole motor technology, well site directional supervision, exploratory and development re-entry drilling, downhole guidance services and other drilling services to our customers. We also provide logging-while-drilling and measurement-while-drilling services. We have a team of approximately 75 full-time directional drillers and maintain a selection of approximately 150 drilling motors. According to Baker Hughes, as of February 2006, 40% of all wells in the United States are drilled directionally and/or horizontally. We expect that figure to grow over the next several years as companies seek to exploit maturing fields and sensitive formations. Management believes directional drilling offers several advantages over conventional drilling including:
  •  improvement of total cumulative recoverable reserves;
 
  •  improved reservoir production performance beyond conventional vertical wells; and
 
  •  reduction of the number of field development wells.

65


Table of Contents

      Since 2002, we have increased our team of directional drillers from ten to approximately 75. Our straight hole drilling motors offer opportunity to capture additional market share. We have also recently expanded our directional drilling services segment with the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Target.
      Rental Tools. We provide specialized rental equipment, including premium drill pipe, heavy weight spiral drill pipe, tubing work strings, blow out preventors, choke manifolds and various valves and handling tools, for both onshore and offshore well drilling, completion and workover operations. Most wells drilled for oil and natural gas require some form of rental tools in the completion phase of a well. Our rental tools segment was established with the acquisition of Safco in September 2004 and of Delta in April 2005.
      We have an inventory of specialized equipment consisting of heavy weight spiral drill pipe, double studded adaptors, test plugs, wear bushings, adaptor spools, baskets and spacer spools and other assorted handling tools in various sizes to meet our customers’ demands. We charge customers for rental equipment on a daily basis. The customer is liable for the cost of inspection and repairs or lost equipment. We currently provide rental tool equipment in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Colorado and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
      We significantly expanded our rental tools segment in January 2006 with the acquisition of Specialty. Specialty has been in the rental tools business for over 25 years, providing oil and natural gas operators and oilfield services companies with rental equipment. Specialty rents 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. The acquisition of Specialty gives us a broader scope of rental tools to offer our existing customer base, which we believe will allow us to better compete in deep water drilling operations in the area of premium rental drill pipe and handling equipment. We also expect that the acquisition of Specialty will add new customer relationships and enhance our relationships with key existing customers. In February of 2006, we merged Specialty and Delta into Safco and named the new entity, Allis-Chalmers Rental Tools, Inc. or Rental Tools.
      Casing and Tubing Services. Through Tubular, we provide specialized equipment and trained operators to perform a variety of pipe handling services, including installing casing and tubing, changing out drill pipe and retrieving production tubing for both onshore and offshore drilling and workover operations, which we refer to as casing and tubing services. All wells drilled for oil and natural gas require casing to be installed for drilling, and if the well is producing, tubing will be required in the completion phase. We currently provide casing and tubing services primarily in Texas, Louisiana and both onshore and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico. We expanded our casing and tubing services in September 2005 by acquiring the casing and tubing assets of IHS/ Spindletop, a division of Patterson, a subsidiary of RPC, Inc. We paid $15.7 million for RPC, Inc.’s casing and tubing assets, which consisted of casing and tubing installation equipment, including hammers, elevators, trucks, pickups, power units, laydown machines, casing tools and torque turn equipment.
      The acquisition of RPC, Inc.’s casing and tubing assets increased our capability in casing and tubing services and expanded our geographic capability. We opened new field offices in Corpus Christi, Texas, Kilgore, Texas, Lafayette, Louisiana and Houma, Louisiana. The acquisition allowed us to enter the East Texas and Louisiana market for casing and tubing services as well as offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, the acquisition greatly expanded our premium tubing services.
      We provide equipment used in casing and tubing services in Mexico to Materiales y Equipo Petroleo, S.A. de C.V., or Matyep. Matyep provides equipment and services for offshore and onshore drilling operations to Petroleos Mexicanos, known as Pemex, in Villahermosa, Reynosa, Veracruz and Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico. Matyep provides all personnel, repairs, maintenance, insurance and

66


Table of Contents

supervision for provision of the casing and tubing crew and torque turn service. The term of the lease agreement pursuant to which we provide the equipment and Matyep provides the above listed items continues for as long as Matyep is successful in maintaining its casing and tubing business with Pemex. Services to offshore drilling operations in Mexico are traditionally seasonal, with less activity during the first quarter of each calendar year due to weather conditions.
      For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, our Mexico operations accounted for approximately $6.4 million, $5.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of our revenues. We provide extended payment terms to Matyep and maintain a high accounts receivable balance due to these terms. The accounts receivable balance was approximately $2.2 million at December 31, 2005 and approximately $968,000 at December 31, 2004. Tubular has been providing services to Pemex in association with Matyep since 1997.
      Compressed Air Drilling Services. Through AirComp, we provide compressed air, drilling chemicals and other specialized drilling products for underbalanced drilling applications, which we refer to as compressed air drilling services. With a combined fleet of over 130 compressors and boosters, we believe we are one of the world’s largest providers of compressed air, or underbalanced, drilling services. We also provide premium air hammers and bits to oil and natural gas companies for use in underbalanced drilling. Our broad and diversified product line enables us to compete in the underbalanced drilling market with an equipment package engineered and customized to specifically meet customer requirements.
      Underbalanced drilling shortens the time required to drill a well and enhances production by minimizing formation damage. There is a trend in the industry to drill, complete and workover wells with underbalanced drilling operations and we expect the market to continue to grow.
      In July 2005, we purchased the compressed air drilling assets of W.T., operating in West Texas and acquired the remaining 45% equity interest in AirComp from M-I. The acquired assets include air compressors, boosters, mist pumps, rolling stock and other equipment. These assets were integrated into AirComp’s assets and complement and add to AirComp’s product and service offerings. We currently provide compressed air drilling services in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. We are also in the process of expanding our services to Arkansas.
      Production Services. We supply specialized equipment and trained operators to install and retrieve capillary tubing, through which chemicals are injected into producing wells to increase production and reduce corrosion. In addition, we perform workover services with coiled tubing units. Chemicals are injected through the tubing to targeted zones up to depths of approximately 20,000 feet. The result is improved production from treatment of downhole corrosion, scale, paraffin and salt build-up in producing wells. Natural gas wells with low bottom pressures can experience fluid accumulation in the tubing and well bore. This injection system can inject a foaming agent which lightens the fluids allowing them to flow out of the well. Additionally, corrosion inhibitors can be introduced to reduce corrosion in the well. Our production services segment was established with the acquisition of Downhole, in December 2004, and the acquisition of Capcoil, in May 2005. In February of 2006, we merged Downhole into Capcoil and named the new entity Allis-Chalmers Production Services, Inc., or Production Services.
      We have an inventory of specialized equipment consisting of capillary and coil tubing units in various sizes ranging from 1/4” to 11/4” along with nitrogen pumping and transportation equipment. We have placed orders for two additional capillary units and two additional coil tubing units for delivery in 2006. The new coil tubing units range in size from 11/4” to 13/4 .” We also maintain a full range of stainless and carbon steel coiled tubing and related supplies used in the installation of the tubing. We sell or rent the tubing and charge a fee for its installation, servicing and removal, which includes the

67


Table of Contents

service personnel and associated equipment on a turn key hourly basis. We do not provide the chemicals injected into the well.
Cyclical Nature of Oilfield Services Industry
      The oilfield services industry is highly cyclical. The most critical factor in assessing the outlook for the industry is the worldwide supply and demand for oil and the domestic supply and demand for natural gas. The peaks and valleys of demand are further apart than those of many other cyclical industries. This is primarily a result of the industry being driven by commodity demand and corresponding price increases. As demand increases, producers raise their prices. The price escalation enables producers to increase their capital expenditures. The increased capital expenditures ultimately result in greater revenues and profits for services and equipment companies. The increased capital expenditures also ultimately result in greater production which historically has resulted in increased supplies and reduced prices.
      Demand for our services has been strong throughout 2003, 2004 and 2005. Management believes demand will remain strong throughout 2006 due to high oil and natural gas prices and the capital expenditure plans of the exploration and production companies. Because of these market fundamentals for natural gas, management believes the long-term trend of activity in our markets is favorable. However, these factors could be more than offset by other developments affecting the worldwide supply and demand for oil and natural gas products.
Customers
      In 2005, none of our customers accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. Our customers are the major independent oil and natural gas companies operating in the United States and Mexico. In 2004, Matyep in Mexico represented 10.8% and Burlington Resources Inc. represented 10.1% of our consolidated revenues. In 2003, Matyep represented 10.2%, Burlington Resources Inc. represented 11.1% and El Paso Corporation represented 14.1%, of our revenues. The loss without replacement of our larger existing customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Suppliers
      The equipment utilized in our business is generally available new from manufacturers or at auction. Currently, due to the high level of activity in the oilfield services industry, there is a high demand for new and used equipment. Consequently, there is a limited amount of many types of equipment available at auction and significant backlogs on new equipment. We own sufficient equipment for our projected operations over the next twelve months, and we believe the shortage of equipment will result in increased demand for our services. However, the cost of acquiring new equipment to expand our business could increase as a result of the high demand for equipment in the industry.
Competition
      We experience significant competition in all areas of our business. In general, the markets in which we compete are highly fragmented, and a large number of companies offer services that overlap and are competitive with our services and products. We believe that the principal competitive factors are technical and mechanical capabilities, management experience, past performance and price. While we have considerable experience, there are many other companies that have comparable skills. Many of our competitors are larger and have greater financial resources than we do.

68


Table of Contents

      We believe that there are five major directional drilling companies, Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, W-H Energy Services (Pathfinder) and Weatherford, that market both worldwide and in the United States as well as numerous small regional players.
      Our largest competitor for compressed air drilling services is Weatherford. Weatherford focuses on large projects, but also competes in the more common compressed air, mist, foam and aerated mud drilling applications. Other competition comes from smaller regional companies.
      Two large companies, Frank’s Casing Crew and Rental Tools and Weatherford, have a substantial portion of the casing and tubing market in South Texas. The market remains highly competitive and fragmented with numerous casing and tubing crew companies working in the United States. Our primary competitors in Mexico are South American Enterprises and Weatherford, both of which provide similar products and services.
      There are two other significant competitors in the chemical injection services portion of the production services market, Weatherford and Dyna Coil. We believe we own approximately 30% of the capillary tubing units in the southwestern United States that are used for chemical injection services.
      The rental tool business is highly fragmented with hundreds of companies offering various rental tool services. Our largest competitors include Weatherford, Oil and Gas Rental Tools, Quail Rental Tools and Knight Rental Tools.
Backlog
      We do not view backlog of orders as a significant measure for our business because our jobs are short-term in nature, typically one to 30 days, without significant on-going commitments.
Employees
      Our strategy includes acquiring companies with strong management and entering into long-term employment contracts with key employees in order to preserve customer relationships and assure continuity following acquisition. We believe we have good relations with our employees, none of whom are represented by a union. We actively train employees across various functions, which we believe is crucial to motivate our workforce and maximize efficiency. Employees showing a higher level of skill are trained on more technologically complex equipment and given greater responsibility. All employees are responsible for on-going quality assurance. At July 1, 2006, we had approximately 780 employees.
Insurance
      We carry a variety of insurance coverages for our operations, and we are partially self-insured for certain claims in amounts that we believe to be customary and reasonable. However, there is a risk that our insurance may not be sufficient to cover any particular loss or that insurance may not cover all losses. Finally, insurance rates have in the past been subject to wide fluctuation, and changes in coverage could result in less coverage, increases in cost or higher deductibles and retentions.
Federal Regulations and Environmental Matters
      Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the energy industry in general and the environment in particular. Environmental laws have in recent years become more stringent and have generally sought to impose greater liability on a larger number of potentially responsible parties. Because we provide services to companies producing oil and natural gas, which are toxic substances, we may become subject to claims relating to the release of such substances into the

69


Table of Contents

environment. While we are not currently aware of any situation involving an environmental claim that would likely have a material adverse effect on us, it is possible that an environmental claim could arise that could cause our business to suffer. We do not anticipate any material expenditures to comply with environmental regulations affecting our operations.
      In addition to claims based on our current operations, we are from time to time named in environmental claims relating to our activities prior to our reorganization in 1988. See “— Legal Proceedings.”
Intellectual Property Rights
      Except for our relationships with our customers and suppliers described above, we do not own any patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises or concessions which we believe are material to the success of our business. As part of our overall corporate strategy to focus on our core business of providing services to the oil and natural gas industry and to increase stockholder value, we are investigating the sale or license of our worldwide rights to trade names and logos for products and services outside the energy sector.

Legal Proceedings
      On June 29, 1987, we filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Our plan of reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court after acceptance by our creditors and stockholders, and was consummated on December 2, 1988.
      At confirmation of our plan of reorganization, the United States Bankruptcy Court approved the establishment of the A-C Reorganization Trust as the primary vehicle for distributions and the administration of claims under our plan of reorganization, two trust funds to service health care and life insurance programs for retired employees and a trust fund to process and liquidate future product liability claims. The trusts assumed responsibility for substantially all remaining cash distributions to be made to holders of claims and interests pursuant to our plan of reorganization. We were thereby discharged of all debts that arose before confirmation of our plan of reorganization.
      We do not administer any of the aforementioned trusts and retain no responsibility for the assets transferred to or distributions to be made by such trusts pursuant to our plan of reorganization.
      As part of our plan of reorganization, we settled U.S. Environmental Protection Agency claims for cleanup costs at all known sites where we were alleged to have disposed of hazardous waste. The EPA settlement included both past and future cleanup costs at these sites and released us of liability to other potentially responsible parties in connection with these specific sites. In addition, we negotiated settlements of various environmental claims asserted by certain state environmental protection agencies.
      Subsequent to our bankruptcy reorganization, the EPA and state environmental protection agencies have in a few cases asserted that we are liable for cleanup costs or fines in connection with several hazardous waste disposal sites containing products manufactured by us prior to consummation of our plan of reorganization. In each instance, we have taken the position that the cleanup costs and all other liabilities related to these sites were discharged in the bankruptcy, and the cases have been disposed of without material cost. A number of Federal Courts of Appeal have issued rulings consistent with this position, and based on such rulings, we believe that we will continue to prevail in our position that our liability to the EPA and third parties for claims for environmental cleanup costs that had pre-petition triggers have been discharged. A number of claimants have asserted claims for environmental cleanup costs that had pre-petition triggers, and in each event, the A-C Reorganization Trust, under its mandate to provide plan of reorganization implementation services to us, has responded to such claims, generally, by informing claimants that our liabilities were discharged in the bankruptcy. Each of such claims has been disposed of without material cost. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to environmental claims relating to pre-bankruptcy activities that would have a material, adverse effect on us.
      The EPA and certain state agencies continue from time to time to request information in connection with various waste disposal sites containing products manufactured by us before consummation of the plan of reorganization that were disposed of by other parties. Although we have been discharged of

liabilities with respect to hazardous waste sites, we are under a continuing obligation to provide information with respect to our products to federal and state agencies. The A-C Reorganization Trust, under its mandate to provide plan of reorganization implementation services to us, has responded to these informational requests because pre-bankruptcy activities are involved.
      We were advised in late 2005 that the A-C Reorganization Trust is in the process of terminating and distributing its assets, and as a result, we will assume the responsibility of responding to claimants and to the EPA and state agencies previously undertaken by the A-C Reorganization Trust. However, we have been advised by the A-C Reorganization Trust that its cost of providing these services has not been material in the past, and therefore we do not expect to incur material expenses as a result of responding to such requests. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to environmental claims relating to pre-bankruptcy activities that would have a material, adverse effect on us.
      We are named as a defendant from time to time in product liability lawsuits alleging personal injuries resulting from our activities prior to our reorganization involving asbestos. These claims are referred to and handled by a special products liability trust formed to be responsible for such claims in connection with our reorganization. As with environmental claims, we do not believe we are liable for product liability claims relating to our business prior to our bankruptcy; moreover, the products liability trust continues to defend all such claims. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to material product liability claims in the future.
      We are involved in various other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of businesses. The legal proceedings are at different stages; however, we believe that the likelihood of material loss relating to any such legal proceeding is remote.

DLS’ BUSINESS
General
      We have entered into a stock purchase agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of DLS. We expect the purchase price for the DLS stock will consist of:
  •  cash consideration payable at closing in the amount of $102.4 million (out of the net proceeds of the issuance and sale of 2.5 million shares of our common stock in this offering and the offering and sale of $80.0 million additional principal amount of our senior notes); however, under the stock purchase agreement, we plan to reduce the cash consideration to $93.2 million, in consideration for DLS retaining $9.1 million of its currently existing indebtedness; and
 
  •  an additional 2.5 million shares of our common stock issuable to the sellers, which shares will be held in an escrow arrangement for a period of 18 months pursuant to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement.
      The stock purchase agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and conditions to closing. Among other things, our obligations under the agreement are subject to our obtaining, on terms acceptable to us, all of the financing we need in order to consummate the acquisition. The stock purchase agreement provides that if we are unable to obtain the necessary financing by August 15, 2006, we must pay to the sellers a cash break-up fee equal to $1.0 million. DLS has also agreed to bear up to $2.0 million of the legal, accounting and financial advisory expenses incurred by either DLS or the sellers in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of the stock purchase agreement or otherwise related to the acquisition of DLS.
      In addition, the stock purchase agreement provides that, as a condition to the sellers’ obligation to close, we must enter into an investors rights agreement with the sellers. We anticipate that, pursuant and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in the investors rights agreement:
  •  upon closing of our acquisition of DLS, the sellers will have the right to designate two nominees for election to our board of directors; and
 
  •  within 30 days after such closing, we will be required to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement registering the offer and resale by the sellers of all the shares of our common stock issued to the sellers pursuant to the stock purchase agreement.

December 31, 2005, DLS generated revenues of $71.6 million in its drilling rigs segment, $39.4 million in its completion and repair segment (which includes workover and pulling functions) and $18.8 million in its drilling fluids/ other services segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, DLS generated revenues of $22.9 million in its drilling segment, $11.2 million in its completion and repair segment (which includes workover and pulling functions) and $4.7 million in its drilling fluids/ other services segment.
      DLS operates a fleet of 51 rigs, including 20 drilling rigs, 18 workover rigs and 12 pulling rigs in Argentina and one drilling rig in Bolivia. Argentine rig operations are generally conducted in remote regions of the country and require substantial infrastructure and support. DLS believes that its established infrastructure and scale of operations provide it with a competitive advantage in this market. In Bolivia, DLS operates one drilling rig. As of July 1, 2006, all of DLS’ rig fleet was actively marketed, except for one drilling rig that is presently inactive and requires approximately $6.0 million in capital expenditures for upgrades.
Markets Served
Argentina
      Argentina is one of Latin America’s largest economies and a significant energy producer and consumer. It is a net energy exporter primarily to neighboring Brazil and Chile.
      Argentina suffered a severe financial crisis in 2001-2002. However, the country’s economy has recovered since that time. In 2005, Argentina’s real gross domestic product, or GDP, grew at an estimated rate of 8.7%. Economic forecasts are for 5.0% real growth in 2006.
      Argentina has Latin America’s third-largest proven natural gas reserves, at around 18.9 trillion cubic feet, or Tcf. Natural gas production in Argentina has increased steadily over the last decade to become Latin America’s largest natural gas producer. Natural gas is now the country’s dominant fuel source, accounting for 46% of primary energy consumption in 2003.
      According to Oil and Gas Journal, Argentina has 2.3 billion barrels of proven oil reserves as of January 2006. The country produced an estimated 763,000 barrels per day, or bbl/d, of oil in 2005; of this amount, 660,000 bbl/d was crude oil, the rest consisted of lease condensates, natural gas liquids, and refinery gain. Argentina consumed an estimated 440,000 bbl/d of oil in 2005, leaving net oil exports of 323,000 bbl/d.
      Two onshore basins produced 87% of Argentina’s oil during the first ten months of 2005: Neuquén, in western-central Argentina and San Jorge in the southeast, surrounding Comodoro. Outside these established zones, there has been interest in exploring offshore oil resources.
      The Neuquén, Tierra del Fuego, and Santa Cruz regions contain most of Argentina’s natural gas production. During the first eleven months of 2005, the Neuquén region accounted for 51 percent of the country’s natural gas production, along with ten percent for Tierra del Fuego, and nine percent for Santa Cruz.
      In 1999, the Spanish oil company Repsol merged with the formerly state-owned oil company, Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales or YPF. Repsol-YPF dominates oil exploration and production activities in Argentina. Other significant oil-producing companies in Argentina include Pan American Energy, Chevron — Texaco Total Austral S.A., Occidental Petroleum Corporation (formerly Vintage Petroleum) and Petrobras Energía.

Bolivia
      Bolivia’s economy endured a period of sub-par economic growth from 1999 to 2002, but has performed better in recent years, posting real GDP growth of 2.4 percent in 2003 and 3.7 percent in 2004. Global Insight forecasts that Bolivia’s economy will have grown by 3.0 percent in 2005 and will grow 3.3 percent in 2006.
      Bolivia has the second-largest proven natural gas reserves in South America, behind Venezuela, and has the potential to become a natural gas hub in the Southern Cone. Bolivia had proven natural gas reserves of 24.0 trillion cubic feet, or Tcf, and proven crude oil reserves of 440 Million barrels in 2005. Bolivia’s natural gas production satisfies current consumption levels and allows Bolivia to be a net exporter of natural gas. Recently, Bolivian President Evo Morales announced the nationalization of Bolivia’s natural gas industry and ordered the Bolivian military to occupy Bolivia’s natural gas fields. Furthermore, President Morales threatened to expel foreign firms that do not recognize state control by signing new contracts by November 2006. DLS’ only customer in Bolivia is Repsol-YPF, a foreign based energy company, and its Bolivian operations will likely be affected by this political development.
      In 2005, the Bolivian Congress also imposed a 32 percent tax on energy producers in addition to an 18 percent royalty that was already in place. It is generally expected that the Bolivian government will strictly control oil and gas production in Bolivia, and in turn will pay foreign operators fees for the energy production services they provide. However, there is significant continuing uncertainty regarding future regulation of the Bolivian energy industry.
Equipment and Services
Contract Drilling Rigs
      A land drilling rig basically consists of a drawworks or hoist, a derrick, a power plant, rotating equipment, pumps to circulate the drilling fluid and the drill string. Power requirements for drilling jobs may vary considerably, but most land drilling rigs employ several engines to generate between 500 and 3,000 horsepower, depending on well depth and rig design. There are numerous factors that differentiate land drilling rigs, including their power generation systems and their drilling depth capabilities.
      The size and type of rig utilized depends, among other factors, upon well depth and site conditions. An active maintenance and replacement program during the life of a drilling rig permits upgrading of components on an individual basis. Over the life of a typical rig, due to the normal wear and tear of operating up to 24 hours a day, several of the major components, such as engines, air compressors, boosters and drill pipe, are replaced or rebuilt on a periodic basis as required. Other components, such as the substructure, mast and drawworks, can be utilized for extended periods of time with proper maintenance.
      As of July 1, 2006, DLS owned 21 drilling rigs, all of which were actively marketed, except for one drilling rig that is currently inactive and requires approximately $6.0 million in capital expenditures for upgrades. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each of these rigs.

Workover Rigs
      The workover rigs are quite similar to the drilling rigs, however, they are smaller than the drilling rig for the same depth of well. These rigs are used to complete the drilled wells or to repair them whenever necessary.
      The well completion process, to prepare a newly drilled oil or natural gas well for production, involves selectively perforating the well casing to access producing zones, eventually stimulating and testing these zones and installing the downhole equipment. The well completion process typically requires a few days to several weeks, depending on the nature and type of the completion. The demand for well completion services is directly related to drilling activity levels, which are highly sensitive to expectations relating to, and changes in, oil and natural gas prices.
      Workover services are performed to enhance the production of existing wells or to repair the wells.
      The workover rigs, identical to the rigs used for completion, are used to seal off depleted zones in existing wellbores, open new producing zones to enhance production or activate producing zones using fracturing or acidifying processes. Workover rigs are also used to convert former producing wells into water injection wells through which water or carbon dioxide is pumped into the formation to enhance the production of an oil field. Other workover services include major subsurface repairs such as casing repairs or replacement of deteriorated downhole equipment.
      DLS’ workover rig fleet consisted of 18 rigs as of July 1, 2006. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each of these rigs.

Pulling Rigs
      A pulling rig is a type of well-servicing rig used to pull downhole equipment, such as tubing, rods or the pumps from a well, and replace them when necessary. A pulling rig is also used to set downhole tools and perform lighter jobs.
      As of July 1, 2006, DLS operated a fleet of 12 pulling rigs. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each of these rigs.

Other Oilfield Services
      This segment consists of drilling fluids and completion fluids supply and field maintenance.
      Drilling fluid services. The required drilling fluid characteristics depend on the type of formation drilled, the encountered formation pressures and on the type of well. The service provided by DLS is to determine the best mud for the projected well and the consequent supply and engineering of the drilling fluid.

77


Table of Contents

      Completion fluid services. Completion fluids are used when completing an oil or gas well. This fluid is placed in the well to control the wellbore pressures driving the completion and prior to initiation of production, such as setting packers, downhole valves and shooting perforations into the producing zone. DLS engineers and supplies completion fluids for oil and gas wells.
      Field maintenance. DLS renders services for the operation and maintenance of oilfields surface equipment and facilities. These services may include constructing, repairing and maintaining roads, laying-down production lines, maintaining surface equipment and facilities, transporting solid and liquid cargos and personnel, monitoring oil and gas delivery and overall field management.
Types of Contracts
      DLS’ drilling contracts are obtained either through competitive bidding or through direct negotiations with its customers. The majority of these contracts provide for compensation on a “dayrate” basis. Under dayrate contracts, DLS provides a drilling rig with the required personnel to perform the drilling of the well. DLS is typically paid based on a negotiated rate per day, comprised of both U.S. dollars and Argentine pesos, while the rig is utilized. The Argentine pesos portion is subject to inflation adjustment. Additionally, most of these contracts are terminable by either party on short notice. As a result, the contracts tend to be subject to renegotiation.
      The rates for DLS’ services depend on market and competitive conditions, the nature of the operations to be performed, the duration of the work, the equipment and services to be provided, the geographic area involved and other variables. Lower rates may be paid when the rig is in transit, or when drilling operations are interrupted or restricted by conditions beyond control. In addition, dayrate contracts typically provide for a separate amount to cover the cost of mobilization and demobilization of the drilling rig. Dayrate drilling contracts specify the type of equipment to be used, the general characteristic of the hole and the depth of the well. Under a dayrate drilling contract, the customer bears a large portion of out-of-pocket costs of drilling and DLS does not bear any part of the usual capital risks associated with oil and natural gas exploration.
      Pan American Energy contract. DLS and Pan American Energy, a company that is 40% owned by an affiliate of the current owners of DLS and 60% owned by British Petroleum, entered into a five-year strategic agreement for the purpose of solidifying a long-term alliance for the drilling of oil and gas wells in the San Jorge basin. The completion and repair of all wells in the area is also part of the agreement. The strategic agreement expires on June 30, 2008 and DLS is currently in negotiations to extend this agreement to December 2010. Pan American Energy represented approximately 55% of DLS’ revenue in 2005. Pan American Energy may terminate the agreement without cause on 60 days’ notice or in the case of a spin-off or merger of DLS that is not consented to by Pan American Energy. There is no provision allowing early termination by DLS and there are no change of control provisions. In accordance with the strategic agreement, DLS shall ensure the availability of at least three drilling rigs, eight workover rigs and five pulling rigs in order to meet Pan American Energy’s drilling plans but, in turn, Pan American Energy will provide DLS a sufficient number of drilling locations to keep all such rigs and associated equipment working during the term of the strategic agreement, provided that there are no material changes in the price of oil or adverse results of the production forecasts. The drilling rigs rates under the agreement are subject to an efficiency factor for drilling depths up to 2,700 meters. The agreement incorporates a standard drilling time in hours for a typical drilling prospect up to 2,700 meters. Drilling beyond 2,700 meters or drilling prospects with non-standard procedures are at agreed upon hourly rates plus reimbursable materials and expenses.

Table of Contents

      DLS’ completion, workover or pulling contracts are obtained in the same way and provide for compensation on a dayrate basis comprised of both U.S. dollars and Argentine pesos and are subject to inflation adjustment.
      The most important drilling fluid service contract of DLS is with Repsol-YPF, in the Neuquén basin. The term of the contract expires in September 2006, and this contract covers drilling and fluid services required in the area where Repsol-YPF is drilling.
Other Business Data
Raw Materials
      DLS purchases a wide variety of raw materials as well as components made by other manufacturers and suppliers for use in its operations. Many of the products used by DLS are manufactured by other parties. DLS is not dependent on any single source of supply for any of its raw materials; however, DLS has a long-term agreement with Tanus, who is a supplier of chemical specialties used in drilling and completion fluid service.
Customers
      DLS’ principal customers consist of major and independent oil and natural gas producing companies. Key customers include Pan American Energy, Repsol-YPF, Apache Corporation (formerly Pioneer Natural Resources), Occidental Petroleum Corporation (formerly Vintage Petroleum) and Total Austral SA.
Government and Environmental Regulations
      DLS’ drilling operations are subject to many hazards, including blowouts and well fires, which could cause personal injury, suspend drilling operations, seriously damage or destroy the equipment involved and cause substantial damage to producing formations or to the surrounding areas.
      Many aspects of DLS’ operations are subject to government regulation, as in the areas of equipping and operating vessels, drilling practices and disposal of waste. In addition, various countries have regulations relating to environmental protection and pollution control. Recent events in the oil industry have also increased the sensitivity of the oil and gas industry to environmental matters.
      DLS believes that its safety and environmental protection standards are better than industry averages and that it complies in all material respects with legislation and regulations affecting the drilling of oil and gas wells and the discharge of wastes. Regulatory compliance has not materially affected the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of DLS to date, although such measures do increase drilling costs. Further regulations may reasonably be anticipated, but any effects thereof on DLS’ drilling operations cannot be accurately predicted.
Legal Proceedings
      Although DLS is subject to various ongoing items of litigation, almost all of which relate to labor contracts, and DLS does not believe any of the items of litigation to which it is currently subject will result in any material uninsured losses to it. It is possible, however, an unexpected judgment could be rendered against DLS in the cases in which it is involved that could be uninsured and beyond the amounts it currently has reserved.
Insurance
      DLS currently carries a variety of insurance for its operations involving third-party liability insurance. DLS is partially self-insured for certain claims in amounts it believes to be customary and

79


Table of Contents

reasonable. DLS believes that it is adequately insured for physical damage to its rigs, worker’s compensation, automobile liability and for various other types of exposures customarily encountered in its operations. Certain of DLS’ liability insurance policies specifically exclude coverage for fines, penalties and punitive or exemplary damages.
      DLS anticipates that its present insurance coverage will be maintained, but no assurance can be given that insurance coverage will continue to be available at rates considered reasonable, that self-insured amounts or deductibles will not increase or that certain types of coverage will be available at any cost.
Employees
      As of July 1, 2006, DLS employed approximately 1,566 employees, including approximately 1,499 employees in Argentina and approximately 67 employees in Bolivia. Almost all of its operations are subject to collective bargaining agreements. DLS believes that its relationship with its employees is very good. Approximately 50% of its personnel have been with DLS for more than five years and approximately 30% of its personnel have been with DLS for more than ten years. In addition, DLS maintains a satisfactory relationship with the unions.

We have no formal procedure pursuant to which stockholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors or Nominating Committee, and the board of directors believes that the lack of a formal procedure will not hinder the consideration of qualified nominees. The Nominating Committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for directors. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating Committee through current board members, stockholders and other persons. Our board of directors has adopted a charter for the Nominating Committee, a copy of which is available on our website (www.alchenergy.com).

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
Senior Notes
General
      On January 18, 2006, we completed the issuance and sale of $160.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.0% senior notes due 2014, which we refer to as our senior notes. In addition, concurrently with the consummation of the common stock offering described in this prospectus, we intend to consummate the issuance and sale of an additional $80.0 million principal amount of our senior notes. We refer to the offering of these additional senior notes as our follow-on senior notes offering. The senior notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of our material domestic restricted subsidiaries. The senior notes and the related guarantees were offered and sold in private transactions in conformance with Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act.
      We issued the senior notes pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 18, 2006, by and among Allis-Chalmers, the subsidiary guarantor parties thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee.
      We used net proceeds from the January 2006 sale of the senior notes to fund our acquisition of Specialty, to repay existing debt and for general corporate purposes. We expect to use the net proceeds from our follow-on senior notes offering to fund the remaining portion of our acquisition of DLS after giving effect to the issuance and sale of our common stock in this offering and the intended use of proceeds thereof.
      Interest on the senior notes began to accrue on January 18, 2006 at a rate of 9.0% per year. Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2006. The senior notes will mature on January 15, 2014. The senior notes are our senior unsecured obligations of and rank, in right of payment, equally with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The senior notes are effectively subordinated to any of our existing or future secured indebtedness, including under our credit agreement, to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the guarantors and rank, in right of payment, equally with all of the guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the guarantors. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the guarantors’ existing or future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness.
      The indenture governing our senior notes contains covenants that limit the ability of Allis-Chalmers and our restricted subsidiaries to:

  •  restrict dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries;
 
  •  create liens;
 
  •  enter into transactions with affiliates; and

      These limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.

      We may, at our option, redeem all or part of the senior notes, at any time prior to January 15, 2010 at the make-whole price set forth in the indenture, and on or after January 15, 2010 at fixed redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
      At any time, which may be more than once, before January 15, 2009, we may redeem up to 35% of the outstanding senior notes with money that we raise in one or more equity offerings at a redemption price of 109.0% of the par value of the senior notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, as long as:
  •  we redeem the senior notes within 180 days of completing the equity offering; and
 
 
  •  at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of senior notes issued in the January 2006 offering remains outstanding after the redemption.
      If we experience certain kinds of changes of control, we must give holders of the senior notes the opportunity to sell to us their senior notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Registration Rights Agreement
      On January 18, 2006, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the initial purchasers of the senior notes, pursuant to which we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which we refer to as the exchange offer registration statement, relating to a registered exchange offer for the senior notes under the Securities Act and (ii) cause the exchange offer registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 270 days following January 18, 2006. If we fail to comply with certain obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, we will be required to pay liquidated damages to the holders of the senior notes in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement.
New Senior Secured Credit Facility
General
      On January 18, 2006, we amended and restated our previous credit agreement (which we signed in July 2005), resulting in a new four-year, $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders led by Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and collateral agent. Our borrowing capacity under this new facility is available to finance working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions (as defined in the credit agreement) and the issuance of standby letters of credit. The terms of this facility are as described below.
      Borrowings under the credit agreement will mature on January 18, 2010. The credit agreement requires us to repay the facility prior to maturity by an amount equal to (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales (other than inventory and obsolete equipment in the ordinary course of business) by us or our subsidiaries (including sales of stock of our subsidiaries) and 100% of insurance proceeds, to the extent such proceeds exceed a cumulative basket equal to 5% of our consolidated assets (as determined in accordance with the credit agreement), subject to a 180-day reinvestment period, (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of any unsecured debt after January 18, 2006 (subject to permitted exceptions, including the issuance of our senior notes and (iii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of our equity securities after such date (subject to permitted exceptions). Amounts under the facility may be repaid and reborrowed prior to the final maturity date. As of March 31, 2006, after giving effect to the acquisition of Rogers and the DLS transactions, as if each such transaction had occurred on that date, we would have had approximately $8.0 million of unused availability under our new credit facility.

Table of Contents

      All borrowings under our new facility are subject to the satisfaction of usual and customary conditions, including the accuracy of representations and warranties and the absence of defaults.
Guarantees and Security
      All of our existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries are required to guarantee our obligations under the credit agreement. Borrowings under the credit facility and any related guarantees are secured by a first priority lien on (i) all of our and our subsidiaries’ fixed assets and (ii) all of our and our subsidiaries’ accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, deposit accounts and other material assets and properties, including the stock and other outstanding equity interests of our subsidiaries.
Interest and Fees
      The interest under the credit agreement is payable at rates per annum based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, or an alternate base rate, or ABR. Under the credit agreement, ABR loans may be prepaid at any time without penalty. LIBOR loans may be prepaid without penalty, subject to our reimbursement of certain breakage and redeployment costs.
Covenants and Events of Default
      The credit agreement contains covenants customary for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, limitations on our ability to: (i) incur additional indebtedness and guarantees, (ii) create liens and other encumbrances on our assets, (iii) consolidate, merge or sell assets, (iv) pay dividends and other distributions or repurchase stock, (v) make certain investments, loans and advances, (vi) make capital expenditures, (vii) enter into operating leases and sale/leaseback transactions, (viii) enter into transactions with our affiliates, (ix) change the character of our business, (x) engage in hedging activities unless certain requirements are satisfied and (xi) prepay other debt. Also, we are required to comply with certain financial tests and maintain certain financial ratios. These financial tests and ratios include requirements to maintain: (i) a maximum ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA, (ii) a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to EBITDA, (iii) a minimum ratio of EBITDA to interest expense, (iv) a minimum tangible net worth, (v) a minimum current ratio and (vi) a minimum fixed asset coverage ratio.
      The credit agreement also includes customary representations, warranties and events of default, including events of default relating to non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, the termination of or default under any material agreement, the result of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, material and uncured judgments, bankruptcy and insolvency events, cross-defaults and a default in the event of a change of control. An event of default under the credit agreement will permit the lenders to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness under the facility, and may result in one or more cross-defaults under other indebtedness, including our senior notes. Similarly, a default generally under the indenture governing our senior notes will constitute an event of default under the credit agreement.
Letters of Credit
      Of the aggregate $25.0 million of capacity under the credit agreement, $5.0 million is available for the issuance of standby letters of credit.
Recent Amendments
      In conjunction with this offering and the pending acquisition of DLS, we expect to amend the credit agreement to, among other things, provide for the acquisition of DLS, permit the net proceeds from this offering and the issuance of an additional $80.0 million of our senior notes to be used for the acquisition of DLS, increase the sub-limit for the issuance of stand-by letters of credit, increase permitted capital expenditures and increase permitted indebtedness at DLS.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
       Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share.
      The following summary of the rights, preferences and privileges of our capital stock and certificate of incorporation and by-laws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of applicable law and to our certificate of incorporation and by-laws.
Common Stock
      Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends if and when such dividends are declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably our net assets available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
Preferred Stock
      Under the terms of our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to designate and issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors has discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our common stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock. However, these effects might include:
  •  restricting dividends on the common stock;
 
  •  diluting the voting power of the common stock;
 
  •  impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; and
 
  •  delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.
      We have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
      Sales of substantial amounts of shares of common stock in the public market could have an adverse effect on the market value of our common stock. With the exception of certain shares issued in connection with acquisitions consummated during the past year, substantially all outstanding shares of our common stock are either freely tradable or tradable pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to the registration statement described below.
      We have reserved an additional 1,843,633 shares of common stock for issuance under our equity compensation plans, of which 1,600,534 shares are currently issuable upon the exercise of outstanding

92


Table of Contents

options with a weighted average exercise price of $6.40 per share. In addition, we have reserved 71,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants (with a weighted average exercise price of $4.98 per share) and 4,000 shares for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options (with an exercise price of $13.75 per share) granted to former and continuing board members in 1999 and 2000.
      We have an effective registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of approximately 9.4 million shares of our currently outstanding common stock. Also, pursuant to Rule 144, shares of our common stock that have been held for at least one year may generally be sold in brokers transactions, provided that the amount of shares sold by any stockholder (and the stockholder’s transferees under certain circumstances) in any three-month period does not exceed the greater of 1% of the outstanding stock (currently approximately 180,000 shares) or the four-week average weekly trading volume of the common stock. Such sales may be effected provided the requirements of Rule 144 are met, including the requirement that at the time of the sale we have filed all reports required to be filed under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Pursuant to Rule 144, shares of our common stock that have been held by persons who are not our affiliates for at least two years may generally be sold without restriction under Rule 144.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law and Charter and By-Law Provisions
      We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, the statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the transaction by which the person became an interested stockholder is approved by the corporation’s board of directors and/or stockholders in a prescribed manner or the person owns at least 85% of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock after giving effect to the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder. The term “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. A Delaware corporation may “opt out” from the application of Section 203 through a provision in its certificate of incorporation or by-laws. We have not “opted out” from the application of Section 203.
      Under our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, our board of directors is not divided into classes, and each director serves for a term of one year. Any vacancies on the board of directors shall be filled by vote of the board of directors until the next meeting of stockholders when the election of directors is in the regular course of business, and until a successor has been duly elected and qualified. Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws also provide that any director may be removed from office, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of our then outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
      Our by-laws provide that meetings of stockholders may be called only by a majority of our board of directors.
      The foregoing provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws and the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of our company.

Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
      Our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (4) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of directors’ liability, then the liability of our directors will automatically be limited to the fullest extent provided by law. Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws also contain provisions to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. We also maintain indemnification insurance on behalf of our directors. In addition, our board of directors has approved and we are in the process of entering into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and executive officers. These provisions and agreements may have the practical effect in certain cases of eliminating the ability of stockholders to collect monetary damages from our directors and officers. We believe that these contractual agreements and the provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
      The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004-1123, (212) 509-4000.

UNDERWRITING
       We are offering the shares of common stock described in this prospectus through several underwriters. RBC Capital Markets Corporation is the representative of the several underwriters. We plan to enter into a firm commitment underwriting agreement with RBC Capital Markets Corporation, as representative of the several underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we plan to agree to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter plans to agree to purchase, the number of shares of common stock listed next to its name in the following table:

Total
    2,500,000  
         
      The underwriting agreement will provide that the obligation of the underwriters to purchase the shares included in this offering is subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the shares (other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below) if they purchase any of the shares.
      The underwriting agreement will provide that the underwriters will purchase the shares of common stock from us at the public offering price shown on the cover page of this prospectus less the underwriting discount shown on the cover page of this prospectus. The underwriters may allow a concession of not more than $                per share to selected dealers. The underwriters may also allow, and those dealers may re-allow, a concession of not more than $          per share to some other dealers. If all of the shares are not sold at the public offering price, the underwriters may change the public offering price and the other selling terms. The common stock is offered subject to a number of conditions.
      The following table summarizes the underwriting discounts the underwriters are to receive on a per share basis and in total from us. The information is presented assuming either no exercise or full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares of stock to cover over-allotments.

      We estimate that the total expenses of this offering will be approximately $          , excluding underwriter’s discounts. We will pay all expenses associated with this offering.
      The underwriters propose to offer the shares of our common stock to the public at the offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. After the offering, the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms. The underwriters reserve the right to reject an order for the purchase of shares, in whole or in part.
      We intend to grant the underwriters the option, exercisable for thirty (30) days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 375,000 additional shares of common stock at the price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. The underwriters may exercise the option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, in connection with the offering. If any additional shares are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the shares are being offered.

95


Table of Contents

      Upon or prior to execution of the underwriting agreement, we and each of our executive officers and directors will have agreed that, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, none of us will issue, sell, transfer or dispose of any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for any shares of our common stock, without the prior written consent of RBC Capital Markets Corporation which shall not be unreasonably withheld for a period of ninety (90) days after the date of the underwriting agreement, other than in this offering in accordance with the terms of the underwriting agreement.
      Our shares of common stock are listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “ALY.”
      In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions in accordance with Regulation M. Short sales involve syndicate sales of shares in excess of the number of shares to be purchased by the underwriters in this offering, which creates a syndicate short position. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the underwriter’s over-allotment option. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which the underwriters may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. Transactions to close out the covered syndicate short position involve either purchases in the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also make “naked” short sales of shares in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares of common stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for, or purchases of, shares in the open market while the offering is in progress, subject to a specified maximum price.
      Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. They may also cause the price of the shares of our common stock to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist on the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the American Stock Exchange or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, it may discontinue them at any time.
      We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
      Some of the underwriters, including RBC Capital Markets Corporation, have from time to time performed, and may in the future perform, various investment banking, financial advisory, commercial banking and other services for us for which they has been paid, or will be paid, customary fees. Also, RBC Capital Markets Corporation and certain of its affiliates beneficially own approximately 8,600 shares of our common stock.
European Economic Area
      In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”) the underwriters have represented and agreed that they have not made and will not make an offer of the shares of our common stock to the public in that Relevant Member State except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant

Implementation Date, make an offer of shares of our common stock to the public in that Relevant Member State:
      (a) in (or in Germany, where the offer starts within) the period beginning on the date of publication of a prospectus in relation to those shares of our common stock which have been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive and ending on the date which is 12 months after the date of such publication;
      (b) at any time to legal entities which are authorized or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorized or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;

      (d) at any time in any other circumstances which do not require the publication by the issuer of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
      For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer of shares of our common stock to the public” in relation to any shares of our common stock in any Relevant Member State means to communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the shares of our common stock to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the shares, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/ EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.
United Kingdom
      Each of the underwriters has represented and agreed that:
      1. No deposit taking:(a) is a person whose ordinary activities involve it in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of its business and (b) it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell any shares of our common stock other than to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or who it is reasonable to expect will acquire, hold, manage or dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses where the issue of the shares of our common stock would otherwise constitute a contravention of Section 19 of the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000, or the FSMA, by us.
      2. Financial promotion: it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any shares of our common stock in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not, or in the case of Allis-Chalmers, would not, if it was not an authorized institution, apply to Allis-Chalmers; and
      3. General compliance: it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to any shares of our common stock in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc.
Houston, Texas
      We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003 of Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc. 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 audit.
      We conducted our audit 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.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
      In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of its consolidated operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003 of Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc., in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ALLIS-CHALMERS ENERGY INC.
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

F-10

ALLIS-CHALMERS ENERGY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
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.
      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

F-11


Table of Contents

ALLIS-CHALMERS ENERGY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
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. Proceeds from customers for the cost of oilfield rental equipment that is involuntarily damaged or lost-in-hole are reflected as revenues. We recognized revenue from damaged or lost in-hole 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.

      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.
      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 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 would have been decreased to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Pension and Other Post Retirement Benefits
      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):

Reclassification
      Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
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.
      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

F-17


Table of Contents

ALLIS-CHALMERS ENERGY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
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. Consequently, weighted average basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 were increased.
      A restated earnings per share calculation for all affected periods reflecting the above adjustments to our results as previously restated (see following section), is presented below (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
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.

      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
      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. We contributed $2.5 million and M-I L.L.C. contributed $2.1 million to AirComp LLC in order to fund the purchase. Goodwill of $375,000 and other intangible assets of $2.3 million were recorded in connection with the acquisition. 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.
      In December 2004, we acquired Downhole for approximately $1.1 million in cash, 568,466 shares of our common stock and the assumption of approximately $950,000 of debt. Goodwill of $442,000 and other intangible assets of $795,000 were recorded in connection with the acquisition. Downhole provides economical chemical treatments to wells by inserting small diameter, stainless steel coiled tubing into producing oil and gas wells.
      On April 1, 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Delta for $4.6 million in cash, 223,114 shares of our common stock and two promissory notes totaling $350,000. The purchase price was allocated to fixed assets and inventory. 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 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. Goodwill of $184,000 and other identifiable intangible assets of $1.4 million were recorded in connection with the acquisition.
      On July 11, 2005, we acquired the compressed air drilling assets of W.T., based in South Texas, for $6.0 million in cash. The equipment includes compressors, boosters, mist pumps and vehicles. Goodwill of $82,000 and other identifiable intangible assets of $1.5 million were recorded in connection with the acquisition.
      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 for $1.3 million in cash and forgiveness of a lease receivable of approximately $0.6 million. The purchase price was allocated to the fixed assets of Target and resulted in the recording of a $0.8 million deferred tax liability. 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.
      The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of the acquired entities since the date of acquisition are included in our consolidated income statement.
      The following unaudited pro forma consolidated summary financial information for the year ended December 31, 2005 illustrates the effects of the acquisitions of Delta, Capcoil, W.T. and the minority interest in AirComp as if the acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2005, based on the historical results of the acquisitions. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated summary financial information for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 illustrates the effects of the acquisitions of Diamond Air, Downhole, Delta, Capcoil, W.T. and the minority interest in AirComp as if the

      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.

    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

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.

      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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
  borrowings under 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, the subordinated note is convertible into up to 700,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the market value of the common stock at the time of conversion.
      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. (See Note 16). At December 31, 2005 and 2004 the outstanding amounts due were $500,000 and $1.6 million, including accrued interest.
      In connection with the purchase of Delta, we issued to the sellers a note in the amount of $350,000. The note bears interest at 2% and the principal and accrued interest is due on April 1, 2006.
      In connection with the purchase of Tubular, we agreed to pay a total of $1.2 million to Mr. Mortensen in exchange for a non-compete agreement. Monthly payments of $20,576 are due under this agreement through January 31, 2007. In connection with the purchase of Safco, we also agreed to pay a total of $150,000 to the sellers in exchange for a non-compete agreement. We are required to make annual payments of $50,000 through September 30, 2007. In connection with the purchase of Capcoil, we agreed to pay a total of $500,000 to two management employees in exchange for non-compete agreements. We are required to make annual payments of $110,000 through May 2008. Total amounts due under non-compete agreements at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $698,000 and $664,000, respectively.

      In 2000 we compensated directors, including current directors Nederlander and Toboroff, who served on the board of directors from 1989 to March 31, 1999 without compensation, by issuing promissory notes totaling $325,000. The notes bear interest at the rate of 5.0%. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the principal and accrued interest on these notes totaled approximately $96,000 and $402,000, respectively.
      Our subsidiary, Downhole, had notes payable to two former shareholders totaling $49,000. We were required to make monthly payments of $8,878 through June 30, 2005. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the amounts outstanding were $0 and $49,000.
      We also have a real estate loan which is payable in equal monthly installments of $4,344 with the remaining outstanding balance due on January 1, 2010. The loan has a floating interest rate based on prime plus 2.0%. The outstanding principal balance was $548,000 at December 31, 2005. The balance of this loan was prepaid in full in January 2006 with proceeds from our senior notes offering.
Other debt
      In December 2003, Strata, our directional drilling subsidiary, entered into a financing agreement with a major supplier of downhole motors for repayment of motor lease and repair cost totaling $1.7 million. The agreement provided for repayment of all amounts not later than December 30, 2005. Payment of interest was due monthly and principal payments of $582,000 were due on April 2005 and December 2005. The interest rate was fixed at 8.0%. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the outstanding balance was $0 and $1.2 million.
      We have various equipment financing loans with interest rates ranging from 5% to 11.5% and terms ranging from 2 to 5 years. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the outstanding balances for equipment financing loans were $1.9 million and $530,000, respectively. We also have various capital leases with terms that expire in 2008. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, amounts outstanding under capital leases were $917,000 and $0, respectively. In January 2006, we prepaid $350,000 of the outstanding equipment loans with proceeds from our senior notes offering.
Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies
      We have placed orders for capital equipment totaling $6.8 million to be received and paid for through 2006. Of this amount, $3.1 million is for six measurement while drilling kits and ancillary equipment for our directional drilling segment and $3.7 million is for two new capillary tubing units and two new coil tubing units for our production services segment. Of the $6.8 million in orders, we are firmly committed to approximately $4.4 million as the balance may be subject to cancellation with minimal loss of prior cash deposits, if any.
      We rent office space on a five-year lease which expires November 2009. We also rent certain other facilities and shop yards for equipment storage and maintenance. Facility rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $987,000, $577,000, and $370,000, respectively.

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 August 10, 2004, we completed the private placement of 3,504,667 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.00 per share. Our net proceeds, after selling commissions and expenses, were approximately $9.6 million. We issued shares pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act of 1933, and agreed to subsequently register the common stock under the Securities Act of 1933 to allow investors to resell the common stock in public markets.
      On September 30, 2004, we completed the private placement of 1,956,634 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.00 per share. Our net proceeds, after selling commission and expenses, were approximately $5.3 million. We issued shares pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act of 1933, and agreed to subsequently register the common stock under the Securities Act of 1933 to allow investors to resell the common stock in public markets.
      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.
      On December 10, 2004, we acquired Downhole for approximately $1.1 million in cash, 568,466 shares of our common stock and payment or assumption of $950,000 of debt. Approximately $2.2 million, the value of the common stock issued to Downhole’s sellers based on the closing price of our common stock issued at the date of the acquisition, was added to stockholders’ equity.
      As of January 1, 2005, in relation to the acquisition of Downhole, we executed a business development agreement with CTTV Investments LLC, an affiliate of ChevronTexaco Inc., whereby we issued 20,000 shares of our common stock to CTTV and further agreed to issue up to an additional 60,000 shares to CTTV contingent upon our subsidiaries receiving certain levels of revenues in 2005 from ChevronTexaco and its affiliates. CTTV was a minority owner of Downhole, which we acquired in 2004. Based on the terms of the agreement, no additional shares were issued in 2005.
      On April 1, 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Delta, for $4.6 million in cash, 223,114 shares of our common stock and two promissory notes totaling $350,000. Approximately $1.0 million, the value of the common stock issued to Delta’s sellers based on the closing price of our common stock issued at the date of the acquisition, was added to stockholders’ equity.
      On May 1, 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of 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. Approximately $750,000, the value of the common stock issued to Capcoil’s sellers based on the closing price of our common stock issued at the date of the acquisition, was added 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.
      On May 31, 2001, the Board granted to Leonard Toboroff, one of our directors, an option to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at $2.50 per share, exercisable for 10 years from October 15, 2001. The option was granted for services provided by Mr. Toboroff to OilQuip prior to the merger, including providing financial advisory services, assisting in OilQuip’s capital structure and assisting OilQuip in finding strategic acquisition opportunities. 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. We have 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 for these options.

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.
      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 paid off on December 7, 2004. 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 warrants were exercised in August of 2005.
      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 warrants were exercised in August of 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      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 to be provided by Morgan Joseph pursuant to a consulting agreement. The warrants were exercised in August 2005.
      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 warrants were exercised in August 2005.
      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 measurement-while-drilling 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      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

F-42

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.
Note 18 — Segment Information
      At December 31, 2005, we had five operating segments including: Directional Drilling Services (Strata and Target), Compressed Air Drilling Services (AirComp), Casing and Tubing Services (Tubular), Rental Tools (Safco and Delta) and Production Services (Downhole and Capcoil).

Note 21 — Legal Matters
      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 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 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      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.

Note 1 — Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
      We are a multi-faceted oilfield service company that provides services and equipment to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, domestically in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Utah, Wyoming, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, and internationally in Mexico. We operate in five sectors of the oil and natural gas service industry: directional drilling services; rental tools; casing and tubing services; compressed air drilling services; and production services.
      We derive operating revenues from rates per day and rates per job that we charge for the labor and equipment required to provide a service. The price we charge for our services depends upon several factors, including the level of oil and natural gas drilling activity and the competitive environment in the particular geographic regions in which we operate. Contracts are awarded based on price, quality of service and equipment and general reputation and experience of our personnel. The principal operating costs are direct and indirect labor and benefits, repairs and maintenance of our equipment, insurance, equipment rentals, fuel, depreciation and general and administrative expenses.
Basis of Presentation
      Our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
      Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated condensed financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.
      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

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
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.
      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 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 adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 154 as of January 1, 2006 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations.
      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 adopted the provisions of SFAS 151, on a prospective basis, as of January 1, 2006 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations.
      Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted 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. This statement requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their grant-date fair values. See Note 3 for a more detailed description of our adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
Note 2 — Acquisitions
      Effective January 1, 2006, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Specialty Rental Tools, Inc., or Specialty, for $96.0 million in cash. The results of Specialty’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. 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. For the year ended December 31, 2005, Specialty had revenues of $29.6 million. The following table

      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.
      Effective August 1, 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Target Energy Inc., or Target, for $1.3 million in cash and forgiveness of a lease receivable of approximately $0.6 million. The purchase price was allocated to the fixed assets of Target. The results of Target are included in our directional and horizontal drilling segment as their measurement while drilling, or MWD, equipment is utilized in that segment.
      On July 11, 2005, we acquired the compressed air drilling assets of W.T. Enterprises, Inc., or WT, based in South Texas, for $6.0 million in cash. The equipment includes compressors, boosters, mist pumps and vehicles. Goodwill of $82,000 and other identifiable intangible assets of $1.5 million were recorded in connection with the acquisition.
      On July 11, 2005, we acquired from M-I its 45% interest in AirComp L.L.C., or AirComp, and a 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.
      On May 1, 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Capcoil Tubing Services, Inc., or 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. Goodwill of $184,000 and other identifiable intangible assets of $1.4 million were recorded in connection with the acquisition.
      On April 1, 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Delta Rental Service, Inc., or Delta, for $4.6 million in cash, 223,114 shares of our common stock and two promissory notes totaling $350,000. The purchase price was allocated to fixed assets and inventory. 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.

Note 3 — Stock-Based Compensation
      We adopted SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, effective January 1, 2006. This statement requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their grant-date fair values. 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 adopted SFAS No. 123R using 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, we record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005 by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over the remaining vesting periods of those awards with no change in historical reported earnings. We estimated forfeiture rates for the first quarter of 2006 based on our historical experience.
      The Black-Scholes model incorporates assumptions to value stock-based awards. The risk-free rate of interest is the related U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods within the expected term of the option at the time of grant. The dividend yield on our common stock is assumed to be zero as we have historically not paid dividends and have no current plans to do so in the future. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock.
      Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for our stock-based compensation using Accounting Principle Board Opinion 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 SFAS No. 123, Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation. 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 was recognized under APB No. 25.

Note 4 — 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 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. 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.

Note 5 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets
      In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not permitted to be amortized. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets remain on the balance sheet and are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or when there is reason to suspect that their values may have been diminished or impaired. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets listed on the balance sheet totaled $12.4 million at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Based on impairment testing performed during 2005 pursuant to the requirements of SFAS No. 142, these assets were not impaired.
      Intangible assets with definite lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets that continue to be amortized under SFAS No. 142 relate to our purchase of customer-related and marketing-related intangibles. These intangibles have useful lives ranging from five to ten years. Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were $384,000 and $166,000, respectively. At March 31, 2006, intangible assets totaled $6.4 million, net of $3.1 million of accumulated amortization.
Note 6 — Restatement
      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

diluted shares outstanding for each period and to reduce weighted average basic shares outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Consequently, weighted average diluted earnings per share were increased for each period and weighted average basic earnings per share was increased for the quarter ended September 30, 2004.

Senior notes, bank loans and line of credit agreements
      On January 18, 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 aggregate principal amount of our senior notes. The notes are due January 15, 2014 and bear interest at 9.0%. The proceeds were used to fund the acquisition of Specialty, to repay existing debt and for general corporate purposes.
      Prior to January 18, 2006, we were party to a July 2005 credit 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 to be used to finance working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the issuance of standby letters of credit. Outstanding borrowings under 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% at December 31, 2005.
      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.
      All amounts outstanding under our July 2005 credit agreement were paid off with the proceeds of our senior notes offering on January 18, 2006. On January 18, 2006, we also executed an amended and restated credit agreement which provides for a $25.0 million revolving line of credit with a maturity of January 2010. Our January 2006 amended and restated credit agreement contains customary events of default and financial covenants and limits our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make capital expenditures, pay dividends or make other distributions, create liens and sell assets. Our obligations under the January 2006 amended and restated credit agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets.
Notes payable and real estate loan
      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, the subordinated note is convertible into up to 700,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the market value of the common stock at the time of conversion.
      As of December 31, 2005, Allis-Chalmers Tubular Services Inc., or Tubular, had a subordinated note outstanding and 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 was January 31, 2006. The subordinated note was subordinated to the rights of our bank lenders. 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 Compressed Air Inc., or 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. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the outstanding amounts due were $500,000.
      In connection with the purchase of Delta, we issued to the sellers a note in the amount of $350,000. The note bears interest at 2% and the principal and accrued interest was repaid on its maturity of April 1, 2006.
      In connection with the purchase of Tubular, we agreed to pay a total of $1.2 million to Mr. Mortensen in exchange for a non-compete agreement. Monthly payments of $20,576 are due under this agreement through January 31, 2007. In connection with the purchase of Safco-Oil Field Products, Inc., or Safco,, we also agreed to pay a total of $150,000 to the sellers in exchange for a non-compete

agreement. We are required to make annual payments of $50,000 through September 30, 2007. In connection with the purchase of Capcoil, we agreed to pay a total of $500,000 to two management employees in exchange for non-compete agreements. We are required to make annual payments of $110,000 through May 2008. Total amounts due under non-compete agreements at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $615,000 and $698,000, respectively.
      In 2000 we compensated directors, including current directors Nederlander and Toboroff, who served on the board of directors from 1989 to March 31, 1999 without compensation, by issuing promissory notes totaling $325,000. The notes bear interest at the rate of 5.0%. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the principal and accrued interest on these notes totaled approximately $96,000.
      We also had a real estate loan which was payable in equal monthly installments of $4,344 with the remaining outstanding balance due on January 1, 2010. The loan has a floating interest rate based on prime plus 2.0%. The outstanding principal balance was $548,000 at December 31, 2005. The balance of this loan was repaid in full in January 2006 with proceeds from our senior notes offering.
Other debt
      We have various equipment financing loans with interest rates ranging from 5% to 8.2% and terms ranging from 2 to 5 years. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the outstanding balances for equipment financing loans were $2.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively. We also have various capital leases with terms that expire in 2008. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, amounts outstanding under capital leases were $796,000 and $917,000, respectively. In January 2006, we prepaid $350,000 of the outstanding equipment loans with proceeds from our senior notes offering.
Note 9 — Stockholders’ Equity
      We also had options and warrants exercised in the first quarter of 2006, those exercises resulted in 365,342 shares of our common stock being issued for approximately $972,000. We recognized $942,000 of compensation expense related to stock options in the first quarter of 2006 that was recorded as additional paid in capital (see Note 3).

Note 11 — Legal Matters
      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.
      On December 31, 2004, Mountain Air was a defendant in an action brought in April 2004 in the District Court of Mesa County, Colorado, by the former owner of Mountain Air Drilling Service Company, Inc., from whom Mountain Air acquired assets in 2001. The plaintiff sought to accelerate payment of the note issued in connection with the acquisition and sought $1.9 million in damages (representing principal and interest due under the note), on the basis that Mountain Air failed to provide financial statements required by the note. We raised several defenses to the plaintiff’s claim. In March 2005, we reached an agreement with the plaintiff to settle the action and paid to the plaintiff

$1.0 million on April 1, 2005 and agreed to pay an additional $350,000 on June 1, 2006, and $150,000 on June 1, 2007, in settlement of all amounts due under the promissory note and all other claims.
      We are also 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 12 — Subsequent Events
      On April 4, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Rogers Oil Tool Services, Inc., or Rogers, based in Lafayette, Louisiana, for a total consideration of approximately $13.7 million, which includes $11.3 million in cash, $1.6 million in our common stock and a $750,000 three-year promissory note. In addition, we purchased all the patents and proprietary technology that Tommie L. Rogers, Rogers’ founder and Chief Executive Officer, developed at Rogers. Rogers provides service for tubing tongs and casing tongs and by renting and selling specialized automated power tongs to the snubbing and well control markets. Rogers also rents and sells drill pipe tongs, accessories, hydraulic power units and hydraulic tong positioners.
      In April 2006, we entered into a stock purchase agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of DLS Drilling, Logistics & Services Corporation. We anticipate that the purchase price will consist of $102.3 million in cash and 2.5 million shares of our common stock. The stock purchase agreement provides that if we are unable to obtain the necessary financing by August 15, 2006, we must pay to the sellers a cash break-up fee equal to $1.0 million. DLS currently operates a fleet of 51 rigs, including 20 drilling rigs, 18 workover rigs and 12 pulling rigs in Argentina and one drilling rig in Bolivia.
      In May of 2006, we filed a registration statement for an offering of common stock in the amount of $80.0 million to fund a portion of the cash purchase price of DLS.

DELTA RENTAL SERVICE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(A)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
      NATURE OF BUSINESS — Delta Rental Service, Inc. (the Company) is incorporated in the State of Louisiana. The Company leases pipe, tubulars and other equipment to the service companies of the petroleum exploration and production industry. The Company’s facility is located in Scott, Louisiana, and leases equipment to companies primarily in the Louisiana Gulf Coast Region.
      REPORTING PERIOD — The Company typically reports its financial position and results of operations based on its federal income tax fiscal year end of March 31. The accompanying financial statements present the Company’s financial position as of December 31, and the results of operations and cash flows for the twelve months ended December 31.
      INCOME TAXES — Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of accrued taxes plus deferred taxes related primarily to the differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. The deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
      PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT — Property and equipment of the Company are stated at cost. Expenditures for property and equipment which substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized at cost and depreciated. Routine expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
      Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial reporting purposes. For income tax purposes, depreciation is computed by use of the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS).
      CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS — The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2004 and 2003.
      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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
      ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE — The Company generally does not require collateral, and the majority of its trade receivables are unsecured. The carrying amount for accounts receivable approximates fair value.
      ADVERTISING — Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $3,272 and $1,884, respectively.
(B)     Concentration of Credit Risk
      The Company maintains cash balances at two separate financial institutions. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000 per institution. Balances in excess of insured limits at December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $692,208 and $507,438 respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(C)     Accounts Receivable
      The balance in Accounts Receivable is comprised of billed invoices as well as unbilled rentals which crossed accounting periods. The breakdown of accounts receivable at December 31, is as follows:
                 
    2004   2003
         
Billed Accounts Receivable
  $ 699,442     $ 407,556  
Accrued Unbilled Revenue

Total
  $ 1,095,587     $ 713,929  
             
(D)     Income Taxes
      Income tax expense consists of the following at December 31:
                       
    2004   2003

Total Income Tax Expense
  $ 265,150     $ 134,274  
             
      The effective tax on pre-taxable income is approximately 34 percent federal and 6 percent for the various states. The primary reason for the difference between the effective tax rates and the statutory marginal rates is due to various book to tax timing differences, and non-deductible expenses for income tax purposes.
      Deferred income taxes are a result of timing differences between book and taxable incomes as well as net operating loss carryforwards. The major timing differences for deferred income taxes at December 31 are as follows:
                   
    2004   2003
         
Depreciation Timing Difference
  $ 882,867     $ 779,405  
Net Operating Loss Carry-Forward

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Capcoil Tubing Services, Inc.
P.O. Box 2280 Kilgore, Texas
      We have audited the balance sheets of Capcoil Tubing Services, Inc. (a Texas corporation), as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations and retained earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
      We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capcoil Tubing Services, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CAPCOIL TUBING SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of Presentation
      The Corporation began business in 2001, and is engaged in the business of oil and gas well servicing. The Corporation currently provides coil tubing services with capabilities from 1/4 ” capillary tubing to 1” coil tubing. Services include the ability to deliver and inject nitrogen into wells. Most of the work is service work related to existing wells in the field, but some work is performed in relation to drilling activity.
      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 in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Among other things, estimates are used in accounting for depreciation.
Revenue Recognition
      Revenues and expenses are recorded when services are rendered and expenses are incurred and collectibility is reasonably assured. Customers are billed as services are rendered.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
      For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Corporation considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash on hand and demand deposits.
Accounts Receivable
      Trade receivables are reported in the balance sheets at outstanding principal less any allowances for doubtful accounts. Trade receivables are short-term and interest is not accrued. Trade receivables are written off at the time they are deemed uncollectible. An allowance for uncollectible trade receivables is recorded when deemed appropriate based on a review of aged receivables and expected recoveries. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $-0- at December 31, 2004 and 2003.
Inventory
      Inventories, which consist principally of (i) products which are consumed in the Corporation’s services provided to customers, (ii) spare parts for equipment used in providing these services and (iii) manufactured components and attachments for equipment used in providing services, are stated primarily at the lower of weighted-average cost or market. Cost primarily represents invoice costs. The Corporation regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand.
Property and Equipment
      Property and equipment is stated substantially at original cost. Additions, replacements, and renewals of property determined to be units of property are charged to the property and equipment accounts. The replacement of property and equipment determined not to be a unit of property and the cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense. Property and equipment is stated at cost and when sold or retired, a gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line composite method based on estimated service lives of the various classes of depreciable property.

F-85


Table of Contents

CAPCOIL TUBING SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. When such events or circumstances arise, an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if any impairment exists pursuant to the requirements of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS No. 144). If the asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured based on the excess of its carrying value over its fair value.
Internal Use Software
      In accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, the Corporation capitalizes software developed or obtained for internal use. These capitalized costs are included in property and equipment. Initial operating system software is amortized over the life of the associated hardware. Application software is amortized over a useful life of three years.
Asset Retirement Obligations
      Effective January 1, 2003, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”. This statement provides the accounting for the cost of legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 requires that companies recognize the fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which the obligations are incurred and capitalize that amount as part of the book value of the long-lived asset. The Corporation has no legal obligation to remove assets. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.
Income Taxes
      The Corporation is a Subchapter S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. The taxable income or losses of the Corporation are includable in the tax return of the stockholder for federal income tax purposes. The Corporation is subject to state income tax.
      Deferred state income taxes should be recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. However, management considers their amount to be immaterial and thus deferred state income taxes are not recorded on the Corporation’s financial statements.
Note 2 — Organizational Costs:
      Organizational costs represent the unamortized balance of organizational costs. The organizational costs were incurred in 2001 and are being amortized over 5 years. Amortization for both 2004 and 2003 totaled $6,028.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Note 11 — Concentration of Credit Risk:
      Financial instruments that potentially subject the Corporation to significant concentrations of credit risk consists primarily of cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The estimated fair value of such financial instruments at December 31, 2004 and 2003 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheet. At December 31, 2004, the Corporation had deposits in checking accounts which exceed federally insured limits by $248,674. The Corporation has not experienced any material credit losses on its financial instruments.
      Revenues from one customer represent 32 percent and 47 percent of total revenues in 2004 and 2003, respectively. A second customer represented 14 percent of total revenues in 2004. No other customers or entity accounted for more than 10 percent of 2004 or 2003 revenues.
      A majority of the Corporation’s trade receivables are derived from large oil and gas production companies. Concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables is considered to be limited due to its customer base. However, 30 percent of trade receivables is due from one customer at December 31, 2004. The Corporation performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral to secure accounts receivable. The Corporation is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by customers on trade receivables. The Corporation does not anticipate significant nonperformance by customers on trade receivables.
      The Corporation’s sales are concentrated primarily in east Texas and northern Louisiana.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and 2003
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
      Nature of Operations. W.T. Enterprises, Inc. (the Company), is primarily engaged in the business of providing compressed air for the drilling of oil and gas wells in the state of Texas. The work is generally performed under fixed price per day contracts.
      Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The Company places its temporary cash investments with a high credit quality financial institution. At times such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit.
      Trade Accounts Receivable. Trade receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectibility based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Trade receivables are considered fully collectible and therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided.
      Unbilled Receivables. Unbilled receivables represent revenue earned in the current period but not billed to the customer until future dates, usually within one month.
      Property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable asset and is computed using the straight line method. Estimated useful lives for equipment and transportation equipment range from three to seven years. Betterments and large renewals which extend the life of the asset are capitalized whereas maintenance and repairs and small renewals are expensed as incurred.
      Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized in the financial statements in the period the services were provided.
      Advertising Costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
      Income Taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. The Company files its income tax returns on the cash basis of accounting. The Company’s temporary differences relate primarily to accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and property and equipment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
      Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      The provision for income taxes charged to operation for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 consists of the following:
                         
        December 31,
    March 31,    
    2005   2004   2003

    $ 45,626     $ 113,160     $ 37,121  
                   
      For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 the difference between the expected tax expense that would result from applying domestic federal statutory rates to pretax income and the provision for income tax expense is due mainly to the lower average graduated tax rate expected to apply to the estimated taxable income in the years the temporary differences reverse as well as the accrual of state income taxes.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Shareholder
Specialty Rental Tools, Inc.
Broussard, Louisiana
      We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Specialty Rental Tools, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
      We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
      As discussed in Note J to the financial statements, the accompanying financial statements have been restated.
      In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Specialty Rental Tools, Inc. as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
      Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Schedule I is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003
Note A — Nature of Operations
      Specialty Rental Tools, Inc. (the “Company”) leases drill pipe, tubing, handling equipment, pressure control equipment, drill collars and other oilfield equipment to both major and independent petroleum exploration and production companies for use in drilling, completion and work-over operations. The Company is located in Broussard, Louisiana, and leases equipment to companies throughout the Gulf Coast Region. The Company was incorporated in the State of Louisiana in December 1978.
Note B — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
      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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
      Revenue Recognition: Rental equipment is leased to customers at per day and per job contractual rates. Net revenues are determined by deducting sales discounts from gross sales. Payments from customers for the cost of oilfield rental equipment that is damaged or lost-in-hole are reflected as revenues with the carrying value of the related equipment charged to cost of sales.
      Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
      Accounts Receivable: The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding credit risk of debtors, historical factors and other related information. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $55,994, $35,087 and $38,266 at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
      Concentrations of Credit and Other Risks: Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivables. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposits with a financial institution. These accounts exceed federally insured limits. Deposits in the United States are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institution and has not experienced any losses on such accounts.
      The Company is not party to any financial instruments which would have off-balance sheet credit or interest rate risk.
      Inventory: Inventory consists primarily of supplies and materials used to repair and maintain rental equipment. Inventory is valued using the first-in, first-out method and stated at the lower of cost or market.
      Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 5 to 39 years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the original estimated economic useful lives of applicable assets, are capitalized. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred and are often billed back to customers as allowed by

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
rental contracts. The costs and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss thereon is reflected in operations.
      The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
      Income Taxes: The Company’s shareholder has elected to be taxed as a small business corporation under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, federal income tax is the responsibility of the individual shareholder, and no provision for federal income tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.
      Advertising: The Company’s policy is to expense advertising costs as incurred and amounted to approximately $254,000, $196,000 and $245,000 for years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
      Major Customers: For the year ended December 31, 2005, 51% of the Company’s revenues were generated from two unrelated customers, and trade receivables from those customers totaled $2,869,316 at December 31, 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2004, 43% of the Company’s revenues were generated from one unrelated customer, and trade receivables from this customer were $2,665,365 at December 31, 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2003, 50% of the Company’s revenues were generated from two unrelated customers.

Note J — Restatement
      At December 31, 2005 the Company had accrued approximately $12,400,000 in bonuses payable to certain employees upon acquisition of the Company by Allis-Chalmers Energy, Inc.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
DLS Drilling, Logistics & Services Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DLS Drilling, Logistics & Services Corporation as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 DLS Drilling, Logistics & Services Corporation as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars
Note 1.     The Company
      DLS Drilling, Logistics & Services Corporation (“DLS” or, including its subsidiaries and branch, the “Company”), incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands in September 1993, is involved in drilling and oil field services.
      In addition, the Company made certain investments in oil and natural gas exploration activities (see Note 22).
      DLS’s shareholders are Bridas International Holdings Ltd., Bridas Central Company Ltd. and Associated Petroleum Investors Limited, which hold 40%, 40% and 20%, respectively of DLS’s capital stock.
      The Company has conducted and continues to conduct significant transactions with related parties as explained in Note 17.
Note 2.     Significant accounting policies and presentation
2.1. Accounting policies
      The consolidated financial statements of DLS are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The financial statements presented herein were prepared on a consistent basis applying the significant accounting policies described in this note. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior presentations to be consistent with the current period classification. Also, these financial statements reflect certain reclassifications to present the oil and gas operations on a discontinued operations basis as a consequence of the transaction described in Note 22.
      The management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with US GAAP. Actual results may differ in some cases from those estimates. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the allowance for uncollectible accounts, recoverability of the investment in long-term assets and the fair value of the Company’s investment in unproved oil and gas properties.
2.2. Basis of presentation
      The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of DLS Drilling, Logistics & Services Corporation and its subsidiary and branch. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.
      DLS had the following subsidiary and branch:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars
Note 2.     Significant accounting policies and presentation (continued)
the company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
2.4. Parts and supplies
      Inventories of materials, supplies, spare parts, drilling fluids and others are stated at purchase cost. Goods in transit on which ownership has passed to the Company are valued at purchase cost. These values do not exceed those prevailing in the market.
2.5. Property, plant and equipment
      Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the respective asset’s remaining useful life. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the remaining costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. Interest is capitalized on construction-in-progress, if any, at the interest rate on debt incurred for construction or at the weighted average cost of debt outstanding during the period of construction.
      Depreciation is provided using the working days method for drilling rigs and the straight-line method based upon expected useful lives of the rest of the items determined for each class of asset. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
         
Drilling rigs
    5840 working days  
Rig equipment
    5 years  
Workover rigs
    16 years  
Pulling rigs
    10 years  
Trucks and transportation equipment
    4 years  
Buildings
    10 years  
Trailers and facilities
    4 years  
Other
    3 to 5 years  
      Net property, plant and equipment does not exceed recoverable values based on estimates of future operations. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Nr.144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in August 2001. This standard addresses the accounting for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses for long-lived assets (including oil and gas properties accounted for under the successful efforts method of accounting and certain amortizable intangibles to be held and used or disposed of, see Note 22).
      The Company performs a review for impairment when circumstances suggest there is a need for such a review. The Company groups and evaluates other property, plant and equipment for impairment based on the ability to identify separate cash flows generated therefrom.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars
Note 2.     Significant accounting policies and presentation (continued)
2.6. Foreign currency remeasurement
      The Company has designated the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for its operations because it contracts with customers, purchases equipment and finances capital using the U.S. dollar. Certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are remeasured at period end historical exchange rates and all foreign currency monetary, gains or losses are reflected in each year’s results of operations and are included in Financial Expenses, net on the Statement of Income. (See Note 16).
2.7. Revenue recognition
      The Company recognizes revenue as services are performed based upon contracted dayrates and the number of operating days during the year. Revenue from turnkey contracts is based on percentage of completion of the services at each balance sheet date. Mobilization fees received and costs incurred in connection with a customer contract to mobilize a rig from one geographic area to another are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of such contract. Costs incurred to mobilize a rig without a contract are expensed as incurred.
2.8. Compensated absences and additional salaries
      The Company accrues the liability for future compensation to employees for vacations and annual additional salaries (13th month payment) vested during the year.
2.9. Concentration of credit risk
      Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in other high quality financial instruments. The Company limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The Company’s customer base consists primarily of major integrated international oil companies, as well as smaller independent oil and gas producers. Management believes the credit quality of its customers is generally high. The Company provides allowances for potential credit losses when necessary.
2.10. Conditions affecting ongoing operations
      The Company’s current business and operations are substantially dependent upon conditions in the oil and gas industry and, specifically, the exploration and production expenditures of oil and gas companies. The demand for contract drilling and related services is influenced by oil and gas prices, expectations about future prices, the cost of producing and delivering oil and gas, government regulations and local and international political and economic conditions. There can be no assurance that current levels of exploration and production expenditures of oil and gas companies will be maintained or that demand for the Company’s services will reflect the level of such activities.
2.11. Income tax
      The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Nr. 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Tax”. Under the asset and liability method

Note 2.     Significant accounting policies and presentation (continued)
of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income for the period that includes the enactment date.
      The consolidated entity domiciled in Argentina is subject to Argentine income tax at a nominal rate of 35% except for the activities carried out in the province of Tierra del Fuego, which are exempt. The entity domiciled in Bolivia is subject to Bolivian income tax at a nominal rate of 25%. Income earned by DLS is not subject to taxation.
Note 3.     Stockholders’ equity
      At December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the authorized share capital of DLS was USD 70,000, of which USD 42,963 had been issued and was outstanding, represented by 42,963,374 shares. Each share has a par value of one U.S. Dollar and is entitled to one vote. The shares are identical in all respects. During 2005, the Company received contribution of additional paid in capital in the aggregate amount of USD 4,140. This contribution of additional paid in capital was made by the shareholders in the same proportion to their ownership interest. No additional common shares were issued.

least three drilling rigs, eight workover rigs and five pulling rigs in order to meet PAE’s drilling plans but, in turn, PAE will provide DLS a sufficient number of drilling locations to keep all such rigs and associated equipment working during the term of the strategic agreement, provided that there are no material changes in the price of oil or adverse results of the production forecasts. The drilling rigs rates under the agreement are subject to an efficiency factor for drilling depths up to 2,700 meters. The agreement incorporates a standard drilling time in hours for a typical drilling prospect up to 2,700 meters. Drilling beyond 2,700 meters or drilling prospects with non-standard procedures are at agreed upon hourly rates plus reimbursable materials and expenses.
18.2.     Drilling fluid contract
      DLS entered into a drilling service contract with Repsol-YPF. The term of the contract is three years and comprises 50% of all drilling and fluid services required by the customer in the Neuquen basin where Repsol-YPF is drilling with approximately 20 rigs. DLS derives 15% of its revenues from this contract.
18.3.     Source of drilling fluids
      DLS purchases a wide variety of drilling fluids as well as components made by other manufacturers and suppliers for use in its operations. The products used by DLS are manufactured by other parties. DLS is not dependent on any single source of supply for any of its raw materials; however, DLS has a long-term agreement with Tanus, a supplier of chemical specialties used in mud service, from which DLS agreed to purchase through 2009 the chemicals it uses to provide mud services. DLS may terminate these agreement without cause on six month’s notice.
18.4.     Litigation
      The Company is routinely involved in other litigation, claims and disputes incidental to its business, related to its labor agreements, which at times involves claims, some of which would not be covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, none of the existing litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 19.     Leases

Note 20.     Fair value of financial instruments
      The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2005. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

Long-term debt
    29,640       29,640

      The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
  •  Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other assets, short term debt, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
 
  •  Long-term debt: The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by the Company’s bankers.
Note 21.     New accounting pronouncements
      SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in November 2004. This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials should be recognized as current-period charges, and it also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads be based on the normal capacity of the related production facilities. The provisions of this statement will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The provisions of this statement are applied prospectively. The Company expects that the adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations in the future.
      FASB issued in December 2004 SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of non-monetary assets and eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The provisions of this statement are applied prospectively. The Company expects that the adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations in the future.

Note 21.     New accounting pronouncements (continued)
      In May 2005, FASB issued the SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Change in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in an accounting principle. The adoption of this statement did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
      On April 4, 2005, FASB adopted Staff Position FSP FAS 19-1 that amends SFAS No. 19 Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies, to permit the continued capitalization of exploratory well costs beyond one year if (a) the well found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and (b) the entity is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. The guidance in the FSP is required to be applied prospectively as from the third quarter of 2005. The adoption of this FSP did not have any impact on the Company’s 2005 results of operations.
      In September 2005, the Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) concluded in Issue 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty, that two or more exchange transactions involving inventory with the same counterparty that are entered into in contemplation of one another should be combined for purposes of evaluating the effect of APB Opinion 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions. Additionally, the EITF reached a consensus that a non-monetary exchange where an entity transfers finished goods inventory in exchange for the receipt of raw materials or work-in-progress inventory within the same line of business should generally be recognized by the entity at fair value. The consensus in this issue should be applied to transactions completed in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006, whether pursuant to arrangements that were in place at the date of initial application of the consensus or arrangements executed subsequent to that date. The Company expects that the adoption of this EITF will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations in the future.
Note 22.     Discontinued operations
      On June 30, 2004, the Company purchased a 90% interest in exploratory blocks General Lamadrid and Juarez for oil and gas exploration. The purchase price was USD 13,694. The Company allocated USD 13,279 to unproved properties and USD 415 to construction work in progress. Subsequent exploration expenditures were capitalized in 2005 and 2004 in the amount of USD 983 and USD 979 respectively, and dry hole expense of USD 1,420 and USD 382 was incurred, respectively. The Company recorded an impairment charge of the unproved properties in the amount of USD 4,946 and USD 1,632 in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In March 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its interest in the exploratory block to Barrancas Sur S.A. and received proceeds equal to the book value of the oil and gas properties as of the date of sale. The assets related to these oil & gas activities are presented as “Assets of discontinued operations” on the consolidated balance sheet, while the related expenses are presented as “Loss from discontinued operations” (net of income tax) on the consolidated statements of income.
      In connection with its oil & gas exploratory assets, the Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting. Costs of property acquisitions, successful exploratory wells and support equipment and facilities are capitalized. Costs of capitalized oil and gas properties would be amortized

      The Company has conducted and continues to conduct significant transactions with related parties as explained in Note 17.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies and presentation
2.1. Accounting policies
      The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of DLS are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The financial statements presented herein were prepared on a consistent basis applying the significant accounting policies described in this note. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 presented for comparative purposes and related notes reflect certain reclassifications to present the oil and gas operations on a discontinued operations basis as a consequence of the transaction described in Note 3.
      In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flow for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year or any other interim period.
      The management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with US GAAP. Actual results may differ in some cases from those estimates. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the allowance for uncollectible accounts, recoverability of the investment in long-term assets and the fair value of the Company’s investment in unproved oil and gas properties.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Note 2.     Significant accounting policies and presentation (continued)
2.3. Cash and cash equivalents
      Cash and cash equivalents include checking account deposits, time deposits with original maturities of three months or less and cash on hand. For the purposes of the unaudited interim consolidated statements of cash flows the company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
2.4. Parts and supplies
      Inventories of materials, supplies, spare parts, drilling fluids and others are stated at purchase cost. Goods in transit on which ownership has passed to the Company are valued at purchase cost. These values do not exceed those prevailing in the market.
2.5. Property, plant and equipment
      Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the respective asset’s remaining useful life. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the remaining costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. Interest is capitalized on construction-in-progress, if any, at the interest rate on debt incurred for construction or at the weighted average cost of debt outstanding during the period of construction.
      Depreciation is provided using the working days method for drilling rigs and the straight-line method based upon expected useful lives of the rest of the items determined for each class of asset. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
         
Drilling rigs
    5840 working days  
Rig equipment
    5 years  
Workover rigs
    16 years  
Pulling rigs
    10 years  
Trucks and transportation equipment
    4 years  
Buildings
    10 years  
Trailers and facilities
    4 years  
Other
    3 to 5 years  
      Net property, plant and equipment does not exceed recoverable values based on estimates of future operations. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Nr. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in August 2001. This standard addresses the accounting for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses for long-lived assets (including oil and gas properties accounted for under the successful efforts method of accounting and certain amortizable intangibles to be held and used or disposed of — See Note 3).

DLS DRILLING, LOGISTICS & SERVICES CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars
Note 2.     Significant accounting policies and presentation (continued)
      The Company performs a review for impairment when circumstances suggest there is a need for such a review. The Company groups and evaluates other property, plant and equipment for impairment based on the ability to identify separate cash flows generated therefrom.
2.6. Foreign currency remeasurement
      The Company has designated the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for its operations because it contracts with customers, purchases equipment and finances capital using the U.S. dollar. Certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are remeasured at period end historical exchange rates and all foreign currency monetary, gains or losses are reflected in each period’s results of operations and are included under financial expenses, net on the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statement of Income. (See Note 16).
2.7. Revenue recognition
      The Company recognizes revenue as services are performed based upon contracted dayrates and the number of operating days during the year. Revenue from turnkey contracts is based on percentage of completion of the services at each balance sheet date. Mobilization fees received and costs incurred in connection with a customer contract to mobilize a rig from one geographic area to another are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of such contract. Costs incurred to mobilize a rig without a contract are expensed as incurred.
2.8. Compensated absences and additional salaries
      The Company accrues the liability for future compensation to employees for vacations and annual additional salaries (13th month payment) vested during the year.
2.9. Concentration of credit risk
      Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in other high quality financial instruments. The Company limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The Company’s customer base consists primarily of major integrated international oil companies, as well as smaller independent oil and gas producers. Management believes the credit quality of its customers is generally high. The Company provides allowances for potential credit losses when necessary.
2.10. Conditions affecting ongoing operations
      The Company’s current business and operations are substantially dependent upon conditions in the oil and gas industry and, specifically, the exploration and production expenditures of oil and gas companies. The demand for contract drilling and related services is influenced by oil and gas prices, expectations about future prices, the cost of producing and delivering oil and gas, government regulations and local and international political and economic conditions. There can be no assurance that

current levels of exploration and production expenditures of oil and gas companies will be maintained or that demand for the Company’s services will reflect the level of such activities.
2.11. Income tax
      The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Nr. 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Tax”. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
      The consolidated entity domiciled in Argentina is subject to Argentine income tax at a nominal rate of 35% except for the activities carried out in the province of Tierra del Fuego, which are exempt. The entity domiciled in Bolivia is subject to Bolivian income tax at a nominal rate of 25%. Income earned by DLS is not subject to taxation.
Note 3.     Discontinued operations
      From mid-2004 through March 2006, the Company participated in certain oil and gas exploration activities. On June 30, 2004, the Company purchased a 90% interest in exploratory blocks General Lamadrid and Juarez for oil and gas exploration. The purchase price was USD 13,694. The Company allocated USD 13,279 to unproved properties and USD 415 to construction work in progress. Subsequent exploration expenditures were capitalized in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 in the amount of USD 983 and USD 979 respectively, and dry hole expense of USD 1,420 and USD 382 was incurred, respectively. The Company recorded an impairment charge of the unproved properties in the amount of USD 4,946 and USD 1,632 in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
      The Company followed the successful efforts method of accounting. Costs of property acquisitions, successful exploratory wells and support equipment and facilities were capitalized. Costs of capitalized oil and gas properties would be amortized using the units of production method. As of March 31, 2006, the Company did not generate any sales of oil or gas and all activities to date were exploratory in nature. Unsuccessful exploratory wells were expensed when determined to be non-productive. Overhead and all exploration cost other than exploratory drilling were charged against income as incurred. The Company disposed of its interest in oil and gas exploration activities in March 2006 and received proceeds equal to the book value of the oil and gas properties as of the date of sale (see Note 17).

      The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was 47.6% as compared to 24.5% for the corresponding period in 2005. The lower rate in 2005 was principally the result of higher income in zero tax jurisdictions.
      The results from discontinued operations are presented net of the related tax effect (See Note 3).
      A reconciliation between the income tax expense and income tax computed by applying the statutory rate to income from continuing operations before income taxes is summarized as follows:

      Between July 2004 and December 2005, the Company earned commissions for the assistance provided by DLS management to a related party (see Note 17) in securing significant contracts with certain unrelated parties. The commissions were calculated as a percentage of the actual revenue generated by such contracts and accrued over the term of the contracts. This was a non-recurring income.
Note 17. Certain agreements and transactions with related parties
      DLS and Pan American Energy LLC, or PAE, a company that is approximately 40% owned by an affiliate of the current owners of DLS, entered into a five-year strategic agreement for the purpose of solidifying a long-term alliance for the drilling of oil and gas wells in the San Jorge basin (see Note 18.1). In the periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 Company billed PAE a net aggregate of approximately USD 22,796 and USD 17,413 respectively in respect of drilling and related services provided by DLS; services rendered to PAE represented approximately 59% of DLS’s revenue in both periods. Also under the strategic agreement, DLS borrowed from PAE the amount of USD 5,545 during

2004 to purchase rigs to be used in drilling services to this customer. This loan bears interest at a 8% p.a. rate.
      In the periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company paid an aggregate amount of approximately USD 2,151 and USD 1,598 respectively, to Tanus Argentina S.A., a related party, for the purchase of drilling fluids (see Note 18.3).

      The Company received certain financing loans from a related party, Hudson Global Strategies Limited, in the normal course of business. The outstanding balance as of March 31, 2006 and as of December 31, 2005 was USD 19,111 and USD 27,043 respectively. These loans bear interest at a 6% p.a. rate.
      In 2004 the Company purchased from Barrancas Sur S.A., a related party, a 90% interest in exploratory blocks General Lamadrid and Juarez for oil and gas exploration.

completion and repair of all wells in the area is also part of the agreement. The strategic agreement expires in June 2008. PAE represented approximately 59% of DLS’ revenue in both periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. PAE may terminate the agreement without cause on 60 days’ notice or in the case of a spin-off or merger of DLS that is not consented to by PAE. There is no provision allowing early termination by DLS and there are no change of control provisions. In accordance with the strategic agreement, DLS shall ensure the availability of at least three drilling rigs, eight workover rigs and five pulling rigs in order to meet PAE’s drilling plans but, in turn, PAE will provide DLS a sufficient number of drilling locations to keep all such rigs and associated equipment working during the term of the strategic agreement, provided that there are no material changes in the price of oil or adverse results of the production forecasts. The drilling rigs rates under the agreement are subject to an efficiency factor for drilling depths up to 2,700 meters. The agreement incorporates a standard drilling time in hours for a typical drilling prospect up to 2,700 meters. Drilling beyond 2,700 meters or drilling prospects with non-standard procedures are at agreed upon hourly rates plus reimbursable materials and expenses.
18.2. Drilling fluid contract
      DLS entered into a drilling service contract with Repsol-YPF. The term of the contract is three years and comprises 50% of all drilling and fluid services required by the customer in the Neuquen basin where Repsol-YPF is drilling with approximately 20 rigs. DLS derived 17% and 15% of its revenues from this contract, in the three month periods ended on March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
18.3. Source of drilling fluids
      DLS purchases a wide variety of drilling fluids as well as components made by manufacturers and suppliers for use in its operations. The products used by DLS are manufactured by other parties. DLS is not dependent on any single source of supply for any of its raw materials; however, DLS has a long-term agreement with Tanus, a supplier of chemical specialties used in mud service, from which DLS agreed to purchase through 2009 the chemicals it uses to provide mud services. DLS may terminate these agreement without cause on six months’ notice.
18.4. Litigation
      The Company is routinely involved in other litigation, claims and disputes incidental to its business, related to its labor agreements, which at times involves claims, some of which would not be covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, none of the existing litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 19. Leases
      The Company leases space used for the executive offices of the branch in Argentina of DLS Argentina Limited. This lease is for an initial three-year term expiring in 2007. It has been classified as an operating lease. The approximate minimum annual rental commitment estimated at March 31, 2006 is USD 70 for each of the next three years. The total rental expense associated with this lease for the periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was USD 16 and USD 17, respectively.
Note 20. Fair value of financial instruments
      The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2006. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

      The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
  •  Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other assets, short term debt, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
 
  •  Long-term debt: The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by the Company’s bankers.
Note 21. New accounting pronouncements
      SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in November 2004. This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials should be recognized as current-period charges, and it also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads be based on the normal capacity of the related production facilities. The provisions of this statement are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, and are applied prospectively. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations in the future.
      FASB issued in December 2004 SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of non-

monetary assets and eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The provisions of this statement are applied prospectively. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations in the future.
      In May 2005, FASB issued the SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Change in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in an accounting principle. The adoption of this statement did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
      On April 4, 2005, FASB adopted Staff Position FSP FAS 19-1 that amends SFAS No. 19 Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies, to permit the continued capitalization of exploratory well costs beyond one year if (a) the well found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and (b) the entity is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. The guidance in the FSP is required to be applied prospectively as from the third quarter of 2005. The adoption of this FSP did not have any impact on the Company’s 2005 results of operations.
      In September 2005, the Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) concluded in Issue 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty, that two or more exchange transactions involving inventory with the same counterparty that are entered into in contemplation of one another should be combined for purposes of evaluating the effect of APB Opinion 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions. Additionally, the EITF reached a consensus that a non-monetary exchange where an entity transfers finished goods inventory in exchange for the receipt of raw materials or work-in-progress inventory within the same line of business should generally be recognized by the entity at fair value. The consensus in this issue should be applied to transactions completed in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006, whether pursuant to arrangements that were in place at the date of initial application of the consensus or arrangements executed subsequent to that date. The Company expects that the adoption of this EITF will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations in the future.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This Statement is a revision to Statement 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. This Statement requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the employee stock options. Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
       The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the historical financial statements:
AA)
Reflects the cash needed to complete the acquisition, the cash payment of $11.3 million to purchase Rogers, net of $5.0 million of borrowings under existing credit facilities.
 
AB)
Reflects the cash needed to complete the acquisition.
 
AC)
Reflects the cash raised from this offering and the proposed offering, issuance and sale of additional senior notes.
 
AD)
Reflects the step-up in the basis of the fixed assets as a result of the acquisition to the lower of fair market value or actual cost.
 
AE)
Intangibles associated with the acquisition of Rogers.
 
AF)
Fees and expenses related to the proposed offering, issuance and sale of an additional $80.0 million of senior notes.
 
AG)
Reflects the repayment of debt of the acquisitions prior to the acquisition.
 
AH)
Reflects the current portion of the non-compete payment to be paid to the seller and acquisition expenses.
 
AI)
Reflects the net borrowing to effect the acquisition Rogers and the pending acquisition of DLS. We borrowed $5.0 million for the Rogers acquisition in addition to the $750,000 note issued to the seller, offset by debt repayments on both acquisitions by the seller prior to closing.
 
AJ)
Reflects the proceeds of the proposed sale of an additional $80.0 million of senior notes and the repayment of a $4.0 million subordinated note.
 
AK)

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
E) Reflects the interest expense related to cash borrowed to affect the acquisitions. In conjunction with the Rogers acquisition, we issued a $750,000 note to the seller bearing interest at 5% fixed and we borrowed $5.0 million under our line of credit. We assumed an 8% interest rate for this $5.0 million borrowing which is our current borrowing rate under our committed line of credit. Each 0.125% of change in this interest rate would affect interest expense by $6,250 per annum.
 
F) Reflects the elimination of interest expense due to historical debt not being assumed or replaced. Approximately $9.1 million of existing debt for DLS will remain outstanding after the acquisition. The interest rate assumed on the $9.1 million of DLS debt was 6.21%, which was the actual average interest rate on this debt as of March 31, 2006. Each 0.125% change in this interest rate would affect interest expense by $11,430 per annum. The interest expense category for DLS’ historical financials also includes other bank fees of approximately $993,000 and $368,000 at March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively and $2.7 million at December 31, 2005.
 
G) Reflects the interest expense related to the proposed offering, issuance and sale of an additional $80.0 million of senior notes offset by reduction of interest on existing debt that will be repaid in conjunction with the offerings. We will repay our $4.0 million, 5% subordinated note with proceeds of the senior notes offering. We assumed an interest rate of 9% on the proposed sale of an additional $80.0 million in senior notes, which is equal to the interest rate obtained for the $160.0 million of senior notes issued in January 2006.
 
H) A statutory tax rate of 35% was applied to the adjustments, but since Allis-Chalmers has a net operating loss carryforward no tax expense was recorded. In addition, the Allis-Chalmers net operating loss position offset the historical tax liabilities of acquired companies. The net operating loss carryforward, after the historical results for Allis-Chalmers for the year ended December 31, 2005, is approximately $15.4 million.
 
I) Reflects the issuance of shares of our common stock as part of the acquisition price for Rogers and DLS. The Rogers acquisition included consideration of $1,650,000 in stock which equated to 125,285 shares of our common stock. The stock component of the purchase price for the pending DLS acquisition is comprised of 2.5 million shares of our common stock.

Item 14.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
      The registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and its by-laws provide for the indemnification by the registrant of each director, officer and employee of the registrant to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.
      In addition, Section 145 provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation

II-1


Table of Contents

unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Delaware law further provides that nothing in the above described provisions shall be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which any person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
      The registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the registrant shall not be liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Section 102(o)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a provision so limiting the personal liability of a director shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for, among other things: breach of the duty of loyalty; acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; unlawful payment of dividends; and transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
      The registrant has entered into separate but identical indemnity agreements (the “Indemnity Agreements”) with each director of the registrant and certain officers of the registrant (the “Indemnitees”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Indemnity Agreements, the registrant indemnified each Indemnitee against any amounts which he or she becomes legally obligated to pay in connection with any claim against him or her based upon any action or inaction which he or she may commit, omit or suffer while acting in his or her capacity as a director and/or officer of the registrant or its subsidiaries, provided, however, that Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
Item 15.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
      We effected a one to five reverse stock split on June 10, 2003. Disclosure set forth below gives retroactive effect to the reverse stock split.
      On January 18, 2006, we completed the issuance and sale of $160,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 9.0% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Senior Notes”), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 12, 2006 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Allis-Chalmers, the Guarantors named therein, RBC Capital Markets Corporation (“RBC”) and Morgan Keegan & Company Inc. (“Morgan Keegan” and together with RBC, the “Initial Purchasers”). The Senior Notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of our material domestic restricted subsidiaries (the “Guarantees”). The Senior Notes and the Guarantees were offered and sold in private transactions that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in conformance with Rule 144A and Regulation S promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. We issued the Senior Notes pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 18, 2006, by and among Allis-Chalmers, the guarantor parties thereto (the “Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). We used the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes to fund our acquisition of Specialty, to repay existing debt and for general corporate purposes. On January 18, 2006, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Initial Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) relating to a registered exchange offer for the Senior Notes under the Securities Act and (ii) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 270 days following January 18, 2006. If we fail to comply with certain obligations

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
      (a) Exhibits. The exhibits listed in the accompanying Exhibit Index are filed (except where otherwise indicated) as part of this registration statement.
      (b) Financial Statement Schedules. No financial statement schedules are included in Part II of this registration statement because the information required to be set forth herein is not applicable or is shown in our consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto.
Item 17. Undertakings.
      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
        (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
        (2) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
