NOTE 1 — NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Allis-Chalmers Energy Inc. and subsidiaries (“Allis-Chalmers”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is a multi-faceted oilfield service company that provides services and equipment to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, throughout the United States including Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Wyoming, Arkansas, West Virginia, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, and internationally, primarily in Argentina and Mexico. We operate in three sectors of the oil and natural gas service industry: Oilfield Services; Drilling and Completion and Rental 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 and rates per day for equipment and tools that we rent to our customers. 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, 2007. 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 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.

On January 31, 2008, we created the positions of Senior Vice President — Oilfield Services and Senior Vice President — Rental Services. In conjunction with this organizational change, we reviewed the presentation of our reporting segments during the first quarter of 2008. Based on this review, we determined that our operational performance would be segmented and reviewed by the Oilfield Services, Drilling and Completion and Rental Services segments. The Oilfield Services segment includes our underbalanced drilling, directional drilling, tubular services and production services operations. The Drilling and Completion segment includes our international drilling operations. As a result, we realigned our financial reporting segments and will now report the following operations as separate, distinct reporting segments: (1) Oilfield Services, (2) Drilling and Completion and (3) Rental Services. Our historical segment data previously reported for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and year ended December 31, 2007 have been restated to conform to the new presentation (see Note 10).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS No. 157. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Subsequently, the FASB provided for a one-year deferral of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a non-recurring basis. We adopted with no impact on our financial statements all requirements of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, except as they relate to nonfinancial assets and liabilities, which will be adopted on January 1, 2009, as allowed under SFAS No. 157. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, on our financial statements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or SFAS No. 159, which permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 159, an entity may elect the fair value option for eligible items that exist at the adoption date. Subsequent to the initial adoption, the election of the fair value option should only be made at the initial recognition of the asset or liability or upon a re-measurement event that gives rise to the new-basis of accounting. All subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be recorded at fair value nor does it eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 and there was no impact on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, or SFAS No. 141(R). SFAS No. 141(R) changes the requirements for an acquirer’s recognition and measurement of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008 and should be applied prospectively for all business combinations entered into after the date of adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51, or SFAS No. 160. SFAS No. 160 requires (i) that non-controlling (minority) interests be reported as a component of shareholders’ equity, (ii) that net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest be separately identified in the consolidated statement of operations, (iii) that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest be accounted for as equity transactions, (iv) that any retained non-controlling equity investment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, and (v) that sufficient disclosures are provided that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008 and should be applied prospectively. The presentation and disclosure requirements of the statement shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. We will adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009 and have not yet determined the impact, if any, on our financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, or SFAS No. 161. SFAS No. 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in hedged positions. The statement also requires enhanced disclosures regarding how and why entities use derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect entities’ financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We will adopt SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009 and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

ALLIS-CHALMERS ENERGY INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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. We estimated forfeiture rates for the first three months of 2008 and 2007 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.

Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 includes approximately $2.6 million and $453,000, respectively of compensation costs related to share-based payments. As of March 31, 2008 there is $2.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option grants. We expect approximately $700,000 to be recognized over the remainder of 2008, approximately $918,000 and $532,000 to be recognized during the years ended 2009 and 2010, respectively.

A summary of our stock option activity and related information is as follows:


				Weighted		Weighted
	Shares			Average		Average		Aggregate
	Under			Exercise		Contractual		Intrinsic Value
	Option			Price		Life (Years)		(millions)
Balance at December 31, 2007		986,763		$	10.77
Granted		—			—
Canceled		—			—
Exercised		(7,333	)		8.40

Outstanding at March 31, 2008		979,430			10.79		7.70	$	4.72


Exercisable at March 31, 2008		754,435		$	7.54		7.22	$	4.71

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the closing price of our common stock on the last trading day of the first quarter of 2008 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2008. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $29,000. The total cash received from option exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $61,000.

No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Restricted stock awards, or RSAs, activity during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were as follows:


				Weighted Average
	Number of			Grant-Date Fair Value
	Shares			Per Share
Nonvested at December 31, 2007		993,203		$	17.45
Granted		10,000			11.73
Vested		(2,740	)		16.16
Forfeited		—			—

Nonvested at March 31, 2008		1,000,463		$	17.39

We determine the fair value of RSAs based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Compensation cost for RSAs is primarily recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period and is net of forfeitures. As of March 31, 2008, there was $11.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSAs. We expect approximately $4.3 million to be recognized over the remainder of 2008 and approximately $5.1 million, $1.8 million, $278,000 and $209,000 to be recognized during the years ended 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

NOTE 3 — INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

We compute income per common share in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, or 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. 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):

NOTE 4 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, or SFAS No. 142, 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 $138.4 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Based on impairment testing performed during 2007 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, 2008 were $1.1 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same period last year. At March 31, 2008, intangible assets totaled $34.1 million, net of $7.3 million of accumulated amortization.

NOTE 6- NOTE RECEIVABLE

We invested $40.0 million in cash in BCH Ltd, or BCH, in the form of a 15% Convertible Subordinated Secured debenture. The debenture is convertible, at any time, at our option into 49% of the common equity of BCH. At the end of two years, we have the option to acquire the remaining 51% of BCH from its parent, BrazAlta Resources Corp., or BrazAlta, based on an independent valuation from a mutually acceptable investment bank. BrazAlta is a publicly traded Canadian-based international oil and gas corporation with operations in Brazil, Northern Ireland, and Canada (TSX.V:BRX).

On January 18, 2006 and August 14, 2006, we closed on private offerings, to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, of $160.0 and $95.0 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes, respectively. The senior notes are due January 15, 2014 and bear interest at 9.0%. The proceeds were used to fund the acquisitions of Specialty Rental Tools, Inc. and DLS Drilling, Logistics & Services Corporation, or DLS, to repay existing debt and for general corporate purposes.

In January 2007, we closed on a private offering, to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% senior notes due 2017. The proceeds of the senior notes offering, together with a portion of the proceeds of our concurrent common stock offering, were used to repay the debt outstanding under our $300.0 million bridge loan facility which we incurred to finance our acquisition of substantially all the assets of Oil & Gas Rental Services, Inc., or OGR.

On January 18, 2006, we also executed an amended and restated credit agreement which provided for a $25.0 million revolving line of credit with a maturity of January 2010. On April 26, 2007, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which increased our revolving line of credit to $62.0 million, and has a final maturity date of April 26, 2012. On December 3, 2007, we entered into a First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which increased our revolving line of credit to $90.0 million. The 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 amended and restated credit agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets located in the United States. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2008. The credit agreement loan rates are based on prime or LIBOR plus a margin. The interest rate was 4.6% at March 31, 2008. The outstanding amount as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, was $20.5 million and $0, respectively.

As part of our acquisition of DLS, we assumed various bank loans with floating interest rates based on LIBOR plus a margin and terms ranging from two to five years. The weighted average interest rates were 6.1% and 6.7% at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The bank loans are denominated in U.S. dollars and the outstanding amount as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $4.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

On February 15, 2008, through our DLS subsidiary in Argentina, we entered into a $25.0 million import finance facility with a bank. Borrowings under this facility will be used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the new drilling and service rigs ordered for our Drilling and Completion segment. The facility is available for borrowings until December 31, 2008. Each drawdown shall be repaid over four years in equal semi-annual installments beginning one year after each disbursement with the final principal payment due not later than March 15, 2013. The import finance facility is unsecured and contains customary events of default and financial covenants and limits DLS’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, make capital expenditures, create liens and sell assets. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2008. The bank loan rates are based on LIBOR plus a margin. The interest rate was 6.5% at March 31, 2008. The bank loans are denominated in U.S. dollars and the outstanding amount as of March 31, 2008 was $13.1 million.

Notes payable

In connection with the acquisition of Rogers Oil Tool Services, Inc., we issued to the seller a note in the amount of $750,000. The note bears interest at 5.0% and is due April 3, 2009. In connection with the acquisition of Coker Directional, Inc., we issued to the seller a note in the amount of $350,000. The note bears interest at 8.25% and is due June 29, 2008. In connection with the acquisition of Diggar Tools, LLC, we issued to the seller a note in the amount of $750,000. The note bears interest at 6.0% and is due July 26, 2008. In connection with the acquisition of Rebel Rentals, Inc., we issued to the sellers notes in the aggregate amount of $500,000. The notes bear interest at 5.0% and are due October 23, 2008.

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 bore interest at the rate of 5.0%. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the principal and accrued interest on these notes totaled approximately $32,000.

NOTE 7 — DEBT (Continued)

We have various equipment and vehicle financing loans with interest rates ranging from 8.3% to 8.7% and two year terms. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the outstanding balances for equipment and vehicle financing loans were $162,000 and $595,000, respectively.

In April 2007 and August 2007, we obtained insurance premium financings in the amount of $3.2 million and $1.3 million with fixed interest rates of 5.9% and 5.7%, respectively. Under terms of the agreements, amounts outstanding are paid over 11 month repayment schedules. The outstanding balance of these notes was approximately $491,000 and $1.7 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Other debt

In connection with the purchase of Capcoil Tubing Services, Inc., 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 these non-compete agreements at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $110,000.

We also have various capital leases with terms that expire in 2008. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, amounts outstanding under capital leases were $0 and $14,000, respectively.

NOTE 8 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

We had options exercised in the first three months of 2008, which resulted in 7,333 shares of our common stock being issued for approximately $61,000. We recognized approximately $2.6 million of compensation expense related to share-based payments in the first three months of 2008 that was recorded as capital in excess of par value (see Note 2).

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.

We have been named as a defendant in three lawsuits in connection with our proposed merger with Bronco Drilling, Inc. We do not believe that the suits have any merit.

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.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the general condition of the oil and natural gas drilling industry, demand for our oil and natural gas service and rental products, and competition. For more information on forward-looking statements please refer to the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 30.

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, throughout the United States including Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Wyoming, Arkansas, West Virginia, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and internationally primarily in Argentina and Mexico. We currently operate in three sectors of the oil and natural gas service industry: Oilfield Services; Drilling and Completion and Rental 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 and rates per day for equipment and tools that we rent to our customers. 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 the 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 1,782 as of December 31, 2007 and to 1,842 on April 30, 2008, according to the Baker Hughes rig count. Furthermore, directional and horizontal rig counts increased from 283 as of December 31, 2002 to 885 on April 30, 2008, which accounted for 32.8% and 48.0% of the total U.S. rig count, respectively. The offshore Gulf of Mexico rig count however, decreased 30% from an average of 81 rigs in the first quarter of 2007 to an average of 57 in the first quarter of 2008 as oil and gas operators mobilized drilling rigs to the international markets.

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 Equipment Rental and 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 for approximately the past four years, 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. The price for natural gas in the U.S. can have a significant impact on the capital expenditures of our customers operating in the U.S. domestic market. Natural gas prices can be affected by such factors as the U.S. economy, new production or pipeline capacity and weather.

Results of Operations

In June 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Coker Directional, Inc., or Coker. In July 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Diggar Tools, LLC, or Diggar. In October 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Rebel Rentals, Inc., or Rebel. We report the operations of Coker, Diggar and Rebel in our Oilfield Services segment. We consolidated the results of these acquisitions from the day they were acquired.

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, 2008 and 2007

Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $153.2 million, an increase of 12.7 % compared to $135.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in revenues is due to the increase in revenues in our Oilfield Services and Drilling and Completion segments, partly offset by a decrease in revenues in our Rental Services segment. Revenues increased in our Oilfield Services segment due to our investment in new equipment in 2007 and in the first quarter of 2008, the opening of new operating locations and small acquisitions completed in 2007 which added downhole motors, measurement-while-drilling, or MWD tools, and directional drilling personnel. Revenues increased in our Drilling and Completion segment due to increased pricing for our drilling and workover services in Argentina and the activation of eight new service rigs during the first quarter of 2008. The decrease in revenues in our Rental Services segment is due to decreased utilization of our equipment and more competitive pricing due to the decrease in drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico.

Our gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 decreased 15.1% to $39.5 million, or 25.8% of revenues, compared to $46.5 million, or 34.2%, of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in gross profit is principally due to the decrease in Rental Services revenue. Our gross margin also decreased due to the increase in depreciation expense due to our capital expenditures. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to the decrease in Rental Services revenues, the decrease in our gross margin percentage in our Drilling and Completion segment and the increase in depreciation expense. Depreciation expense increased 22.7% to $14.5 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $11.8 million for the first quarter of 2007. The increase is due to additional depreciable assets resulting from capital expenditures and acquisitions. 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 $14.8 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $14.0 million for the first quarter of 2007. General and administrative expense increased due to the additional expenses associated with acquisitions, and the hiring of additional sales and administrative personnel. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 9.7% in the first quarter of 2008 compared to 10.3% in the first quarter of 2007.

We recorded an expense of $2.6 million related to share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $453,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The amount of shared-based compensation expense recorded in general and administrative expense was $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2008 and $391,000 for the first quarter of 2007 with the balance being recorded as a direct cost.

Amortization expense was $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2007. The increase in amortization expense is due to the amortization of intangible assets in connection with our acquisitions.

Income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $23.6 million, a decrease of 25.1% compared to income from operations of $31.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, reflecting the decrease in our gross margin and increased general and administrative expenses. Our income from operations as a percentage of revenues decreased to 15.4% for the first quarter of 2008, from 23.2% for the first quarter of 2007, due to the decrease in our gross margin as a percentage of revenues offset partially by the decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues.

Our net interest expense was $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $13.3 million for the first quarter of 2007. Interest expense decreased in the first quarter of 2008 due to a decrease in our average outstanding debt, lower interest rates, and an increase in interest income. Our net interest expense includes interest income of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 from our 15% $40 million subordinated convertible debenture due from BCH Ltd. which closed on January 31, 2008. In January of 2007 we issued $250.0 million of senior notes bearing interest at 8.5% to pay off, in part, the bridge loan utilized to complete the acquisition of the assets of Oil & Gas Rental Services, Inc., or OGR, and for working capital. The bridge loan was outstanding until January 29, 2007 and had an average interest rate of 10.6%. Interest expense for the first quarter of 2007 includes the write-off of deferred financing fees of $1.2 million related to the repayment of the bridge loan.

Our provision for income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $4.8 million, or 37.1% of our net income before income taxes, compared to $6.2 million, or 33.9% of our net income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in our effective tax rate is primarily attributable to our Drilling and Completion operations which had an effective tax rate of 37.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 32.4% for three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase in effective tax rate percentage is attributable to an operating loss in Bolivia during the quarter due to our decreased drilling activity in Bolivia. The operating loss from operations in Bolivia generated no tax benefit while the activity in Argentina is taxed at a statutory tax rate of 35.0%

We had net income of $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of 33.8% compared to net income of $12.2 million for the first quarter of 2007.

The following table compares revenues and income from operations for each of our business segments and loss of income for general corporate purposes. Income (loss) from operations consists of revenues less cost of revenues, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization:

Oilfield Services

Revenues were $67.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of 22.5% compared to $55.4 million in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Income from operations increased to $13.3 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2007. Our Oilfield Services segment revenues and operating income for the first quarter of 2008 increased compared to the first quarter of 2007 due primarily to our investment in new equipment in 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, including air-drilling compressors, foam units, casing and tubing tools and coil tubing units. Results in the Oilfield Services segment also improved due to small acquisitions completed in 2007 which added downhole motors, MWD tools and directional drillers and enabled us to expand our directional drilling business in the Northern Rocky Mountains and the Mid-Continent areas.

Drilling and Completion

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 for the Drilling and Completion segment were $63.1 million, an increase from $48.9 million in revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Income from operations decreased to $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. Our Drilling and Completion segment revenues increased in the first quarter of 2008 due to increased pricing for our drilling and workover services in Argentina and the activation of eight new service rigs during the first quarter of 2008. The eight new service rigs are part of our 20 rig order (16 service and 4 drilling rigs) which we expect to place in service throughout 2008. Operating income for the first quarter of 2008 decreased compared to the prior year. This was due primarily to higher wages which included other payroll expenses, and the increase in administrative costs all relating to labor concessions in Argentina granted by the oil industry in the last half of 2007. Additionally, operating income was also impacted by a significant increase in our labor force and labor-related expenses in connection with the new rigs prior to activation.

Rental Services

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 for the Rental Services segment were $22.2 million, a decrease from $31.6 million in revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Income from operations decreased to $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2007. Our Rental Services segment revenues and operating income for the first quarter of 2008 decreased compared to the prior year due primarily to the decrease in utilization of our rental equipment and a more competitive pricing environment due to a decrease in drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico.

General Corporate

General corporate expenses increased $1.0 million to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was due to the increase in payroll costs and benefits for additional management and accounting and administrative staff as a result of the acquisitions and the increase in share-based compensation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our on-going capital requirements arise primarily from our need to service our debt, complete acquisitions, acquire and maintain equipment, and fund our working capital requirements. Our primary sources of liquidity are proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities and cash flows from operations. We had cash and cash equivalents of $10.2 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $43.7 million at December 31, 2007.

Operating Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2008, our operating activities provided $18.7 million in cash. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $8.1 million. Non-cash expenses totaled $20.9 million during the first three months of 2008 consisting of $15.6 million of depreciation and amortization, $2.0 million for deferred income taxes related to timing differences, $519,000 in amortization of deferred financing fees, $2.6 million from the expensing of stock options, $267,000 related to increases to the allowance for doubtful accounts receivables, less $130,000 on the gain from asset disposals.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, changes in operating assets and liabilities used $10.2 million in cash, principally due to an increase of $10.3 million in accounts receivable, an increase of $810,000 in inventories, a decrease of $10.9 million in accrued interest, an increase in other assets of $1.3 million, offset in part by an increase of $1.5 million in accounts payable and an increase of $10.9 million in accrued expenses. Accounts receivable increased primarily due to the increase in our revenues in the first three months of 2008. The decrease in accrued interest relates to the semi-annual payment of interest on our 8.5% senior notes. The increase in other assets primarily relates to $1.1 million of interest income on our $40.0 million note receivable from BCH Ltd.. The increase in accounts payable can be attributed to additional expenses related to our growth. The increase in accrued expenses is primarily related to a $5.7 million accrual for rental equipment, along with an increase of our accrued income taxes payable of $1.6 million related to current period results, and a general increase due to our growth.

In the three months ended March 31, 2007, our operating activities provided $14.6 million in cash. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $12.2 million. Non-cash expenses totaled $15.8 million during the first three months of 2007 consisting of $12.9 million of depreciation and amortization, $1.5 million for deferred taxes related to timing differences, $1.2 million for the write-off of loan fees related to the bridge loan that was repaid, $450,000 in amortization of deferred financing fees, $453,000 from the expensing of stock options, $172,000 related to increases to the allowance for doubtful accounts receivables, less $862,000 on the gain from asset disposals.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, changes in operating assets and liabilities used $13.4 million in cash, principally due to an increase of $22.0 million in accounts receivable, an increase of $1.8 million in inventories, a decrease of $3.2 million in accrued interest, offset in part by a decrease in other current assets of $7.3 million, an increase of $3.4 million in accounts payable and an increase of $2.1 million in accrued expenses. Accounts receivable increased primarily due to the increase in our revenues in the first three months of 2007. Other inventories increased primarily due to the build-up of inventory to meet the demands of increased activity levels. The decrease in accrued interest relates to the semi-annual payment of interest on our 9.0% senior notes. The decrease in other current assets primarily relates to the collection of the working capital adjustment of the OGR acquisition for approximately $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2007. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses can be attributed to additional expenses related to higher activity levels.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we used $83.5 million in investing activities, consisting of a $40.0 million convertible subordinated secured note from BCH Ltd, $39.7 million for capital expenditures, $5.3 million for deposits on equipment purchases for our Drilling and Completion segment, offset by $1.5 million of proceeds from equipment sales. Included in the $39.7 million for capital expenditures was $14.4 million for our Oilfield Services segment, including additional casing and tubing equipment and coiled tubing support equipment, $18.5 million for additional equipment in our Drilling and Completion segment and $6.7 million for drill pipe and other equipment used in our Rental Services segment. A majority of our equipment sales relate to items “lost in hole” or “damaged beyond repair” by our customers.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we used $19.6 million in investing activities, consisting of $22.3 million for capital expenditures, offset by $2.7 million of proceeds from equipment sales. Included in the $22.3 million for capital expenditures was $8.5 million for drill pipe and other equipment used in our Rental Services segment, $2.7 million for additional equipment in our Drilling and Completion segment and $10.8 million for our Oilfield Services segment, including additional MWD equipment and new compressor packages. A majority of our equipment sales relate to items “lost in hole” by our customers.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, financing activities provided $31.4 million in cash. We received $20.5 million from borrowings under our revolving line of credit and an additional $13.1 million in proceeds from long-term debt and repaid $2.3 million in borrowings under long-term debt facilities. We also received $61,000 in proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, financing activities provided $40.6 million in cash. We received $250.0 million in proceeds from long-term debt, repaid $302.8 million in borrowings under long-term debt facilities, including repayments of the bridge loan, and paid $7.0 million in debt issuance costs. We also received $100.1 million from the issuance of our common stock in a public offering, net of expenses along with $301,000 in proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants.

At March 31, 2008, we had $546.1 million in outstanding indebtedness, of which $539.9 million was long-term debt and $6.2 million is due within one year.

In January 2007, we closed on a private offering, to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% senior notes due 2017. The proceeds of the senior notes offering, together with a portion of the proceeds of our concurrent common stock offering, were used to repay the debt outstanding under our $300.0 million bridge loan facility which we incurred to finance our acquisition of substantially all the assets of OGR.

Notes payable

In connection with the acquisition of Rogers Oil Tool Services, Inc., we issued to the seller a note in the amount of $750,000. The note bears interest at 5.0% and is due April 3, 2009. In connection with the acquisition of Coker, we issued to the seller a note in the amount of $350,000. The note bears interest at 8.25% and is due June 29, 2008. In connection with the acquisition of Diggar, we issued to the seller a note in the amount of $750,000. The note bears interest at 6.0% and is due July 26, 2008. In connection with the acquisition of Rebel, we issued to the sellers notes in the aggregate amount of $500,000. The notes bear interest at 5.0% and are due October 23, 2008.

Other debt

We also have various capital leases with terms that expire in 2008. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, amounts outstanding under capital leases were $0 and $14,000, respectively.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off balance sheet arrangements, other than normal operating leases and employee contracts, 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. At March 31, 2008, we had a $90.0 million revolving line of credit with a maturity of April 2012. At March 31, 2008, we borrowed $20.5 million on the facility and availability was further reduced by outstanding letters of credit of $8.1 million.

Capital Requirements

We have identified capital expenditure projects that will require approximately $105.0 million for the remainder of 2008, 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. 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 may require additional equity or debt financing. 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

On May 2, 2008, Burt A. Adams resigned as a member of our board of directors, effective immediately.

Critical Accounting Policies

Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 for a description of other policies that are 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. No material changes to such information have occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report 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 such forward-looking statements 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 under “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. You should read those sections carefully. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. 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 quarterly report or currently unknown facts or conditions or the occurrence of unanticipated events.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES 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. We have approximately $37.9 million of adjustable rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 5.4% at March 31, 2008.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk.

We have designated the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for our operations in international locations as we contract with customers, purchase equipment and finance capital using the U.S. dollar. Local currency transaction gains and losses, arising from remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in local currency, are included in our consolidated statements of income. 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d — 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules and forms.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

(b) Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
