NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – General

These consolidated condensed financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These consolidated condensed financial statements, including selected notes, have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ”SEC”) and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Except as described in Note 10 with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements,” these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek” or the “Company”) 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain amounts for 2007 have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). This Staff Position states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period earnings per share (“EPS”) data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of this Staff Position. We are currently evaluating the requirements of FSP EITF 03-6-1 and the impact that its adoption will have on our results of operations and financial position.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued FAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“FAS 162”). This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in accordance with GAAP. With the issuance of this statement, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed toward the entity and not its auditor, and reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB as opposed to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of FAS 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results from operations or financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS No. 161”). This statement requires enhanced disclosures about our derivative and hedging activities. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We will adopt FAS No. 161 beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, Business Combinations (“FAS 141R”), to replace Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”). FAS 141R requires use of the acquisition method of accounting, defines the acquirer, establishes the acquisition date and broadens the scope to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier adoption prohibited. While the Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 141R to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements for transactions completed prior to December 31, 2008, the impact of the accounting change could be material for business combinations which may be consummated subsequent thereto.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 provides an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements. The fair value option established by FAS 159 permits the Company to elect to measure eligible items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis and then report unrealized gains and losses for those items in the Company’s earnings. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted FAS 159 on January 1, 2008. As we did not elect to measure existing assets and liabilities at fair value, the adoption did not have an effect on our financial statements.

Note 3 – Acquisitions

Acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting under FAS No. 141 “Accounting for Business Combinations”. The acquired companies’ results have been included in the accompanying financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. Allocation of the purchase price for acquisitions was based on the estimates of fair value of the net assets acquired and is subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocation within the one year anniversary of the acquisition.

On January 31, 2007, the Company acquired a 50% partnership interest in CAVO Drilling Motors Ltd Co. (“CAVO”) for approximately $2.6 million in cash, 143,434 shares of our common stock valued at $1.9 million and a $1.5 million promissory note to the seller. CAVO is a complete down-hole motor solutions provider specializing in the rental, servicing and sale of high-performance mud motors for a variety of drilling applications. CAVO serves both the domestic and international drilling markets with a customer base extending throughout North America, South America, Russia and West Africa. On November 15, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of the remaining 50% partnership interest in CAVO for approximately $12.5 million in cash and assumed $0.2 million in long-term debt. The partnership interest was reported using the equity method of accounting prior to November 15, 2007 as the Company did not own a controlling interest in CAVO. The Company’s equity in the earnings (net of dividends) related to this investment was $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and was reported in investment income and other in the consolidated condensed statements of income. Beginning November 1, 2007, CAVO was accounted for as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

On August 31, 2007, the Company acquired Sooner Energy Services, Inc. (“Sooner”) for $7.2 million in cash and assumed debt of $0.2 million. Sooner develops, produces and distributes specialty chemical products and services for drilling and production of natural gas. Sooner serves natural gas producers, oilfield supply stores, drilling mud and other service companies in North America. Results of operations for Sooner are included in the Company’s consolidated condensed statement of income as of September 1, 2007.

On February 14, 2008, Teledrift Acquisition, Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets of Teledrift, Inc. (“Teledrift”) for the aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $98.0 million, which includes a purchase price adjustment of $1.8 million recorded in the third quarter of 2008. The asset purchase agreement provides for a potential adjustment in the aggregate purchase price. Teledrift designs and manufactures wireless survey and measurement while drilling, or MWD, tools. The Company used the net proceeds from issuance of certain convertible senior notes to fund this acquisition.

The purchase price of the Teledrift acquisition, including acquisition costs of $0.8 million, was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values. In accordance with FAS 141, the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. Management has completed its assessment of intangible assets acquired and the associated fair market value and useful life of those assets. The table below details the recorded investment in Teledrift:

Note 6 – Goodwill

The change in the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill at September 30, 2008 is primarily related to the February 2008 acquisition of Teledrift. During the third quarter of 2008 we finalized the purchase price of Teledrift under the terms of the asset purchase agreement. This resulted in an additional consideration payable of $1.8 million.

Goodwill is recorded on the acquisition date of each entity. The Company may record adjustments to goodwill for amounts undeterminable at the acquisition date, such as deferred taxes or intangible assets and therefore the goodwill amounts may change accordingly. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and on an interim basis, if events occur or circumstances change that might reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. As of September 30, 2008 no events have occurred and no impairment has been recorded.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Convertible Senior Notes

On February 11, 2008, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Notes Underwriting Agreement”) with the subsidiary guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. (the “Underwriter”). The Notes Underwriting Agreement related to the issuance and sale (the “Notes Offering”) of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by the Guarantors. Pursuant to the Notes Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriter a 13-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes, which was exercised in full on February 12, 2008. The net proceeds received from the issuance of the Notes was $111.8 million.

The Notes Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and the Guarantors, and customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of both the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other hand, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

The Company used the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to finance the acquisition of Teledrift and for general corporate purposes.

Senior Credit Facility

On February 4, 2008, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date thereof, the “Senior Credit Facility”), dated as of August 31, 2007, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Senior Credit Facility consisted of a revolving line of credit, an equipment term loan and two real estate term loans. The Amendment permitted the Company to consummate the acquisition of Teledrift, to issue up to $150 million in convertible senior notes due 2028 to fund the purchase price of Teledrift, and to incur additional capital expenditures, and includes new financial covenants and other amendments.

The Amendment increased the principal payment required to be made by the Company from $500,000 monthly to $2,000,000 quarterly effective June 30, 2008.

On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “New Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of a maximum of $25 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) and a term loan facility of $40 million (the “New Term Loan Facility”) (collectively, the “New Senior Credit Facility”). The Company refinanced all but approximately $800,000 of the outstanding indebtedness under its Senior Credit Facility with borrowings under the New Credit Facility. The amount under the Senior Credit Facility that was not refinanced relates to certain existing real estate loans.

The obligations of the Company under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all present and future assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The New Revolving Credit Facility will mature and be payable in full on March 31, 2011. The maximum amount of credit available under the Revolving Credit Facility is equal to the lesser of $25 million or the sum of: (i) 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) 50% of the Company’s eligible inventory. The Company is required to repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the New Term Loan Facility in quarterly installments of $2,000,000 each, commencing with the quarter ending June 30, 2008. All remaining amounts owed pursuant to the New Term Loan Facility mature and will be payable in full on March 31, 2011.

The Company must make mandatory prepayments under the New Term Loan Facility annually beginning April 15, 2009, equal to 50% of the Company’s excess cash flow for the previous calendar year. The Company is further required to make certain mandatory prepayments under the New Term Loan Facility upon the receipt of proceeds from any debt or equity issuances and upon certain assets sales. In addition, if the outstanding balance under the New Term Loan Facility exceeds 75% of the appraised orderly liquidation value of the Company’s fixed assets at any time, the Company must reduce the New Term Loan Facility by such excess amount.

Interest accrues on amounts under the New Credit Facility at variable rates based on, at the Company’s election, the prime rate or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin specified in the New Credit Agreement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The New Credit Agreement contains certain financial and other covenants, including a minimum net worth covenant, a maximum leverage ratio covenant, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, a maximum senior leverage ratio covenant, a covenant restricting capital expenditures, a covenant limiting the incurrence of additional indebtedness, and a covenant restricting acquisitions, which are substantially the same as the covenants under the prior Senior Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2008, we had $2.0 million outstanding under the revolving line of credit of the New Senior Credit Facility. Availability under the revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2008 is approximately $23.0 million. Bank borrowings are subject to certain covenants and a material adverse change subjective acceleration clause. Affirmative covenants include compliance with laws, various reporting requirements, visitation rights, maintenance of insurance, maintenance of properties, keeping of records and books of account, preservation of existence of assets, notification of adverse events, ERISA compliance, joint agreement with new subsidiaries, borrowing base audits and use of treasury management services. Negative covenants include limitations associated with liens, indebtedness, change in nature of business, transactions with affiliates, investments, distributions, subordinate debt, leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, consolidated net income, prohibition of fundamental changes, asset sales and capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $0.4 million in vehicle loans and capitalized vehicle leases.

Promissory note to stockholders of acquired business, maturing December 2009

In conjunction with the acquisition of a 50% interest in CAVO in January 2007, the Company issued a note to the seller in the amount of $1.5 million. The note bears interest at 6% and is payable quarterly through December 31, 2009.

Note 9 – Interest Rate Swap

As described in Note 8, interest on the Company’s Senior Credit Facility has variable-rates. As required by the Senior Credit Facility, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement on 50% of the New Term Loan Facility to partially reduce our exposure to interest rate risk. At September 30, 2008, the interest rate swap had a notional amount of $23.0 million, swap rate of 3.32% and a fair value of $30,000.

Note 10 – Fair Value Disclosure

The Company adopted FAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, which defines fair value, establishes a frame work for measuring fair value and establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to the valuation used to measure fair value. The implementation of FAS 157 did not cause a change in the method of calculating fair value of assets and liabilities. The primary impact from the adoption was additional disclosures.

The Company adopted FAS 157, except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities addressed in FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 (“FSP FAS 157-2”). The FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2 which delays the effective date of FAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).

FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for disclosure into three broad levels. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

 

Level 1- inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2 - inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

 

Level 3 - inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.

 

10


Table of Contents

FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The following table presents information about the Company’s liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2008, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such a fair value (in thousands):

 

     Level 1    Level 2    Level 3    Total

Convertible Senior Notes

   —      $ 93,150    —      $ 93,150

At September 30, 2008, the Company estimates that the $115.0 million outstanding related to the Convertible Senior Notes had a fair value of $93.2 million. The Company determined the estimated fair value amount by using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimate presented herein is not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Company or the debt-holder could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

Note 11 – Common Stock

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock of the Company relates to unvested shares of common stock awarded to certain officers, directors and employees which have vesting periods of one to five years and in some circumstances performance requirements. Change to the number of unvested restricted shares is summarized as follows:

 

Unvested restricted stock as of December 31, 2007

   336,761  

Granted

   52,392  

Vested

   (85,533 )

Forfeited

   (63,743 )
      

Unvested restricted stock as of September 30, 2008

   239,877  
      

For the nine months ended September, 30, 2008, the Company awarded 52,392 restricted stock awards (“RSA”) to executive officers, directors and certain employees under the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan”).

Share Lending Agreement

In connection with the Notes Offering, the Company entered into a Share Lending Agreement with Bear Stearns International Ltd. (“BSIL”).

BSIL borrowed 3,800,000 shares of Common Stock for a period that will end on February 15, 2028, or earlier, if the Company notifies BSIL in writing of its intent to terminate the agreement in accordance with the agreement’s terms or in certain other circumstances. Pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement, the Company received a loan fee of $0.0001 per share for each share of Common Stock that the Company loaned to BSIL. Under the Share Lending Agreement, BSIL is permitted to use the shares borrowed from the Company and offered in the Stock Offering only for the purpose of directly or indirectly facilitating the sale of the Notes and the hedging of the Notes by holders.

Upon the conversion of the Notes, a number of shares of Common Stock proportional to the conversion rate for such Notes must be returned to the Company. Any borrowed shares returned to the Company cannot be reborrowed.

The shares that the Company loaned to BSIL will be issued and outstanding for corporate law purposes, and accordingly, the holders of the borrowed shares will have all of the rights of a holder of the Company’s outstanding shares, including the right to vote the shares on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders and the right to receive any dividends or other distributions that the Company may pay or makes on its outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, under the Share Lending Agreement, BSIL has agreed:

 

   

To pay, within one business day after the relevant payment date, to the Company an amount equal to any cash dividends that the Company pays on the borrowed shares; and

 

11


Table of Contents

FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

   

To pay or deliver to the Company, upon termination of the loan of borrowed shares, any other distribution, in liquidation or otherwise, that the Company makes on the borrowed shares.

To the extent the borrowed shares the Company lent under the Share Lending Agreement and offered in the Stock Offering have not been sold or returned to the Company, BSIL has agreed that it will not vote any such borrowed shares of which it is the record owner. BSIL has also agreed under the Share Lending Agreement that it will not transfer or dispose of any borrowed shares, other than to its affiliates, unless such transfer or disposition is pursuant to a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act. However, investors that purchase the shares from BSIL (and any subsequent transferees of such purchasers) will be entitled to the same voting rights with respect to those shares as any other holder of Common Stock.

As a result of the acquisition of the Bear Stearns Companies Inc. by JP Morgan Chase & Co. in May 2008, BSIL is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of JP Morgan Chase & Co.

Common Stock Underwriting Agreement

In connection with the Notes Offering and the Share Lending Agreement, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Stock Underwriting Agreement”) with Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. The Stock Underwriting Agreement provided that the Underwriter would sell the shares of Common Stock loaned to BSIL in accordance with the Share Lending Agreement. Under the Stock Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter initially offered 3,138,200 loaned shares of Common Stock to the public at $17.50 per share in a fixed price offering and, following such offering, offered the remaining loaned shares in variable price offerings from time to time on the terms and in the amounts the Underwriter deemed advisable. Accordingly, the Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock, but received a nominal lending fee pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement.

Note 12 – Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period and the assumed exercise of dilutive instruments (stock options and unvested restricted stock) less the number of common shares assumed to be purchased with the exercise proceeds using the average market price of the Common Stock for each of the periods presented.

In view of the contractual undertakings of BSIL in the Share Lending Agreement, which have the effect of substantially eliminating the economic dilution that otherwise would result from the issuance of the borrowed shares, the Company believes that under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the borrowed shares should not be considered outstanding for the purpose of computing and reporting the Company’s earnings per share.

Note 13 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (“FAS 123R”) effective as of January 1, 2006. FAS 123R requires all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the income statement as an operating expense, based on their fair values. The Company follows the “modified prospective” method of adoption of FAS 123R whereby earnings for prior periods will not be restated as though stock-based compensation had been expensed.

Approximately $0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense was recognized for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and approximately $2.1 million and $0.9 million of stock based compensation expense was recognized during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to stock option grants and RSA’s.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company has 970,787 stock options outstanding of which 723,072 were vested.

Note 14 – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was 38.1% and 37.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was 38.0% and 37.0%, respectively.

Our effective income tax rate in 2008 and 2007 differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and the domestic production activities deduction. As of September 30, 2008, we had estimated U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10.3 million, expiring in various amounts in 2018 through 2025.

Our current corporate organization structure requires us to file two separate consolidated U.S. Federal income tax returns. As a result, taxable income of one group cannot be offset by tax attributes, including net operating losses, of the other group.

Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved, on occasion, in routine litigation incidental its business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of the routine litigation that may develop will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

Note 16 – Segment Information

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“FAS 131”), requires segmentation based on the Company’s internal organization and reporting of revenue and operating income based upon internal accounting methods. The Company’s financial reporting systems present various data for management to run the business, including internal profit and loss statements prepared on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Flotek’s operations consist of three reportable operating segments:

 

   

The Chemicals and Logistics segment develops, manufactures and markets specialty chemicals used in oil and gas well cementing, stimulation, acidizing, drilling, and production treatment. The segment provides well cementing bulk blending and transload services and transload facility management services.

Consolidated – Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $62.8 million, an increase of $21.1 million or 50.5%, compared to the same period in 2007. Revenue increased in all three of our segments due to increased drilling activity, price increases in the Chemical and Logistics and Artificial Lift segments and the increased acceptance of our downhole tool products and our proprietary suite of specialty chemicals. Acquisitions accounted for approximately $9.7 million of the increase.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $28.5 million, an increase of $10.5 million or 58.5%, compared to the same period in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was 45.4%, compared to 43.1% for the same period in 2007. The increase in gross profit is due to the acquisitions in the Drilling Products segment.

Selling, general and administrative costs are not directly attributable to products sold or services rendered. Selling, general and administrative costs were $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 61.0% compared to $7.7 million during the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to increased indirect personnel costs in our Chemicals and Logistics, Drilling Products and Corporate segments, increased professional fees and costs associated with our increased international efforts.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and amortization was $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 114.4% compared to $1.6 million during the same period in 2007. The increase is due to higher depreciation associated with acquired assets and increased capital expenditures. In addition, amortization expense increased due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in 2007 and 2008.

Research and development (“R&D”) costs increased to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $0.1 million for the same period in 2007. With the addition of our new Chemical and Logistics R&D facility near Houston in 2007, we continued to expand our R&D activity during the quarter. We also increased R&D activity in our Drilling Products segment. R&D expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.

Interest expense was $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 versus $0.8 million in 2007. The increase was a result of higher debt levels incurred to finance the acquisitions made in the last half of 2007 and Teledrift in the first quarter of 2008. To finance the Teledrift acquisition, we issued $115.0 million senior convertible notes bearing an interest rate of 5.25% and due in 2028.

A provision for income taxes of $3.6 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2008. An effective tax rate of 38.1% was applied for the three months ended September 30, 2008 versus 37.0% for the same period in 2007. The increase in our effective tax rate is primarily due to an increase in the percentage of earnings in state jurisdictions with higher state income tax rates.

Consolidated – Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $166.1 million, an increase of $51.5 million or 44.9%, compared to the same period in 2007. Revenue increased in all three of our segments due to increased drilling activity, price increases in the Chemical and Logistics segments and the increased acceptance of our products including our proprietary line of specialty chemicals. Acquisitions accounted for approximately $28.1 million of the increase.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $75.4 million, an increase of $25.5 million or 51.2%, compared to the same period in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was 45.4%, compared to 43.5% for the same period in 2007. The increase in gross profit is due to the acquisitions in the Drilling Products segment.

Selling, general and administrative costs are not directly attributable to products sold or services rendered. Selling, general and administrative costs were $34.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 59.9% compared to $21.5 million during the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to increased indirect personnel costs in our Chemicals and Logistics, Drilling Products and Corporate segments, increased professional fees and costs associated with our increased international efforts. In addition, $2.1 million of stock-based compensation expense was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 versus $0.9 million expense during the same period in 2007, associated with restricted stock and options granted to our employees, officers and directors in accordance with FAS 123R. The majority of the expense relates to stock compensation expense associated with restricted stock and option awards made to the CEO and former CFO as part of one year and five year retention programs.

Depreciation and amortization was $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 107.1% compared to $4.6 million during the same period in 2007. The increase is due to higher depreciation and amortization associated with acquired assets and increased capital expenditures.

R&D costs increased to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2007. With the addition of our new Chemical and Logistics R&D facility near Houston in 2007, we have expanded our R&D activity during the quarter. We also increased R&D activity in our Drilling Products segment. R&D expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.

Chemicals and Logistics – Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Chemicals and Logistics revenue increased $7.1 million, or 30.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in revenue is a result of an increase in sales volume of our proprietary specialty chemicals, coupled with a price increase that went into effect in the first quarter of 2008. Sales of our proprietary, biodegradable, ‘green’ chemicals grew 37.0% to $21.9 million in the third quarter of 2008 from $16.0 million in the third quarter of 2007. The acquisition of Sooner in September 2007 accounted for approximately $1.1 million of the increase in revenue during the quarter.

Gross profit increased $2.8 million, or 25.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 45.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 47.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in gross profit is due to increased cost of petroleum-based raw materials which was partially offset by increased sales of our higher margin proprietary ‘green’ chemicals.

Income from operations increased $1.6 million, or 18.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue decreased to 34.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 38.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 due to higher raw material costs of surfactants and other petroleum based products, higher international sales costs and the expansion of R&D activity in the quarter.

Chemicals and Logistics – Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Chemicals and Logistics revenue increased $21.1 million, or 34.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in revenue is a result of an increase in sales volume of our proprietary specialty chemicals. Sales of

our proprietary, biodegradable, ‘green’ chemicals grew 41.3% to $57.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $40.9 million in the same period in 2007. The acquisition of Sooner in September 2007 accounted for approximately $4.5 million of the increase in incremental revenue during 2008.

Gross profit increased $9.3 million, or 31.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 47.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 48.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in gross profit is due to increased cost of petroleum-based raw materials and the addition of Sooner which currently generates lower gross profit margins than our existing chemical sales.

Income from operations increased $5.8 million, or 24.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue decreased to 35.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 38.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to higher raw material costs of surfactants and other petroleum based products, higher international sales costs and the expansion of R&D activity in the quarter.

Gross profit increased $7.2 million, or 122.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 48.9% in the third quarter of 2008 from 41.3% in the third quarter of 2007. The increase in gross profit margin resulted from organic growth and the acquisition of Teledrift and CAVO which generate higher gross profit margins than our existing business.

Income from operations increased $3.7 million, or 211.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue increased to 20.6% in the third quarter of 2008 from 12.4% in the third quarter of 2007. This increase can also be attributed to the contributions from the Teledrift and CAVO acquisitions and expansion of our rental tool operations.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our ongoing capital requirements arise primarily from our need to service our debt, to acquire and maintain equipment, to fund our working capital requirements and to complete acquisitions. We have funded our capital requirements with operating cash flows, debt borrowings, and by issuing shares of our common stock. We had cash and cash equivalents of $3.2 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2007.

Operating Activities

In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we generated $23.4 million in cash from operating activities. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $14.4 million. Non-cash additions to net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 consisted of $9.4 million of depreciation and amortization and $2.1 million of compensation expense related to options and restricted stock awards as required under FAS No. 123R.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, increased working capital requirements decreased operating cash flow by $1.0 million. An increase in inventory levels in the Drilling Products segment and an increase in accounts receivable due to higher sales levels, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Drilling Products and Artificial Lift segments contributed to the increased working capital requirements.

Investing Activities

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, we used $113.5 million in investing activities due to the acquisition of Teledrift and capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 totaled approximately $16.6 million. The most significant expenditures related to the expansion of our newly acquired Teledrift MWD tools, CAVO mud motor fleet, the addition of rental tools to expand our rental tool base, the completion of the Marlow Oklahoma facility and equipment purchases for the R&D lab in The Woodlands.

Financing Activities

On February 4, 2008, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2007 (as amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date thereof, the “Senior Credit Facility”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Senior Credit Facility consisted of a revolving line of credit, an equipment term loan and two real estate term loans. The Amendment permitted the Company to consummate the acquisition of Teledrift, to issue up to $150 million in convertible senior notes due 2028 to fund the purchase price of Teledrift and to incur additional capital expenditures, and included new financial covenants and other amendments as described below.

The Amendment added a Minimum Net Worth (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) covenant to prohibit the Company’s Net Worth as of the end of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the quarter ending June 30, 2008, to be less than an amount equal to:

 

   

80% of the Company’s net worth as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2007; plus

 

   

an amount equal to 75% of the Company’s consolidated net income for each fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2007 in which such consolidated net income is greater than $0; plus

 

   

an amount equal to 100% of equity issuance proceeds received by the Company or any of its subsidiaries after December 31, 2007.

“Net Worth” means the Company’s consolidated shareholder’s equity determined in accordance with GAAP.

The Amendment also (i) included an additional financial covenant to prohibit the Company’s senior leverage ratio as of each fiscal quarter end to be more than 2.00 to 1.00; (ii) prohibited the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio as of each fiscal quarter end to be less than 1.25 to 1.0; (iii) extended the maturity date on the Company’s working capital loan to February 4, 2011; (iv) required the Company to reduce the principal amount of its term loan to $40.0 million; (v) limited aggregate capital expenditures by the Company and its subsidiaries to $20,000,000 in any fiscal year and (vi) required the Company to make mandatory prepayments of the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility in specified circumstances, including if the appraised value of our fixed assets falls below specified levels.

In addition, the Amendment increased interest rates under the Senior Credit Facility by adjusting the margin applicable to base rate advances and Eurodollar advances to those set forth below:

 

   

Each Base Rate Advance would bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.75% and (ii) the Higher Lawful Rate.

 

   

Each Eurodollar Advance would bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Advance plus 3.75% and (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate.

The Amendment provided that the Company would not permit the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) as of each fiscal quarter end to be more than (i) 3.5 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending prior to September 30, 2008, (ii) 3.0 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2008 but prior to March 31, 2009, (iii) 2.75 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending on or after June 30, 2009 but prior to September 30, 2009 and (iv) 2.50 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2009.

The Amendment increased the quarterly principal payment required to be made by the Company from $500,000 to $2,000,000.

On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “New Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of a maximum of $25 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) and a term loan facility of $40 million (the “New Term Loan Facility”) (collectively, the “New Senior Credit Facility”). The Company refinanced all but approximately $600,000 of the outstanding indebtedness under its Senior Credit Facility with borrowings under the New Credit Facility. The amount under the Senior Credit Facility that was not refinanced relates to certain existing real estate loans.

The obligations of the Company under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all present and future assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The New Revolving Credit Facility will mature and be payable in full on March 31, 2011. The maximum amount of credit available under the Revolving Credit Facility is equal to the lesser of $25 million or the sum of: (i) 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) 50% of the Company’s eligible inventory. The Company is required to repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the New Term Loan Facility in quarterly installments of $2,000,000 each, commencing with the quarter ending June 30, 2008. All remaining amounts owed pursuant to the New Term Loan Facility mature and will be payable in full on March 31, 2011.

The New Credit Agreement requires that on April 15 of each year commencing with April 15, 2009, the Company must make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the New Term Loan Facility, equal to 50% of the Company’s excess cash flow for the previous calendar year. The Company is further required to make certain mandatory prepayments of the New Term Loan Facility upon the receipt of proceeds from any debt or equity issuances and also upon certain assets sales. In addition, if the outstanding balance under the New Term Loan Facility exceeds 75% of the appraised orderly liquidation value of the Company’s fixed assets at any time, the Company must reduce the New Term Loan Facility by such excess amount.

The Company may elect to treat an advance under the New Credit Agreement as either a “Base Rate Advance” or a “Eurodollar Advance.” For both Base Rate Advances and Eurodollar Advances, interest accrues based on a specified index rate, plus an “Applicable Margin,” which will vary from quarter to quarter. The index rate for the Base Rate Advances is the Adjusted Base Rate, which is defined as the greater of the bank’s prime rate of interest or a rate computed as described in the New Credit Agreement based on the interest applicable to certain federal securities, plus 0.5%. Through the date of the delivery by the Company to Wells Fargo Bank of its unaudited financial statements and certificate of compliance for the quarter ending March 31, 2008, the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances, which is added to the Adjusted Base Rate to determine the applicable interest rate, was 2.75%, with the Applicable Margin thereafter adjusting as provided in the New Credit Agreement. The index rate for the Eurodollar Advances is the Eurodollar Rate, which is a LIBOR based rate determined as provided in the New Credit Agreement. Through the date of the delivery by the Company to Wells Fargo Bank of its unaudited financial statements and certificate of compliance for the quarter ending March 31, 2008, the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Advances, which is added to the Eurodollar Rate to determine the applicable interest rate, was 3.75%, with the Applicable Margin thereafter adjusting as provided in the New Credit Agreement.

On February 11, 2008, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Notes Underwriting Agreement”) with the subsidiary guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. (the “Underwriter”). The Notes Underwriting Agreement related to the issuance and sale (the “Notes Offering”) of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by the Guarantors. Pursuant to the Notes Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriter a 13-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes, which was exercised in full on February 12, 2008.

The Notes Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and the Guarantors, and customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of both the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other hand, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

The Company used the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to finance the acquisition of Teledrift and for general corporate purposes.

As of September 30, 2008, we had $2.0 million outstanding under the revolving line of credit of the New Senior Credit Facility. Availability under the revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2008 is $23.0 million.

Management believes that the Company has adequate resources through a combination of cash flows and available credit to meet its current obligations and debt repayment requirements.

We have funded our capital requirements with operating cash flows, debt borrowings and by issuing shares of our common stock. Common stock issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is described below:

 

   

Stock options to purchase 462,973 shares were exercised by officers, directors and employees, with proceeds of approximately $0.9 million paid to the Company.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). This Staff Position states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period earnings per share (“EPS”) data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of this Staff Position. We are currently evaluating the requirements of FSP EITF 03-6-1 and the impact that its adoption will have on our results of operations and financial position.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued FAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“FAS 162”). This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in accordance with GAAP. With the issuance of this statement, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed toward the entity and not its auditor, and reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB as opposed to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of FAS 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results from operations or financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS No. 161”). This statement requires enhanced disclosures about our derivative and hedging activities. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We will adopt SFAS No. 161 beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, Business Combinations (“FAS 141R”), to replace Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”). FAS 141R requires use of the acquisition method of accounting, defines the acquirer, establishes the acquisition date and broadens the scope to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier adoption prohibited. While the Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 141R to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements for transactions completed prior to December 31, 2008, the impact of the accounting change could be material for business combinations which may be consummated subsequent thereto.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 provides an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements. The fair value option established by FAS 159 permits the Company to elect to measure eligible items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis and then report unrealized gains and losses for those items in the Company’s earnings. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted FAS 159 on January 1, 2008. As we did not elect to measure existing assets and liabilities at fair value, the adoption did not have an effect on our financial statements.

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company adopted FAS No. 157, except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities addressed in FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 (“FSP FAS 157-2”). The FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2 which delays the effective date of FAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is currently evaluating the effect FSP FAS 157-2 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

Certain financial instruments we have used to obtain capital are subject to market risks from fluctuations in market interest rates. As of September 30, 2008, we have $15.8 million of variable rate indebtedness within our credit facility. As a result, a fluctuation in market interest rates of one percentage point over the next twelve months would impact our interest expense by approximately $0.2 million.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Certain of our cash and cash equivalents balances exceed FDIC insured limits or are invested in money market accounts with investment banks that are not FDIC insured. We place our cash and cash equivalents in what we believe to be credit-worthy financial institutions. Additionally, we actively monitor the credit risk of our receivable and derivative counterparties.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2008. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2008.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the third quarter of 2008 there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, the Board of Directors implemented an internal audit function within the Company to strengthen the Company’s internal control environment.
