Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
Key Energy Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company, we, us, its, and our) provides a complete range of well services to major oil companies and independent oil and natural gas production companies, including rig-based well maintenance, workover, well completion, and recompletion services, oilfield transportation services, pressure pumping services, fishing and rental services, and ancillary oilfield services.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The condensed December 31, 2007 balance sheet was prepared from audited financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Certain information relating to the Companys organization and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all material adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other interim period due to fluctuations in demand for our services, timing of maintenance and other expenditures, and other factors.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to develop estimates and to make assumptions that affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These estimates also impact the nature and extent of our disclosure, if any, of our contingent liabilities. Among other things, we use estimates to (i) analyze assets for possible impairment, (ii) determine depreciable lives for our assets, (iii) assess future tax exposure and realization of deferred tax assets, (iv) determine amounts to accrue for contingencies, (v) value tangible and intangible assets, and (vi) assess workers compensation, vehicular liability, self-insured risk accruals and other insurance reserves. Our actual results may differ materially from these estimates. We believe that our estimates are reasonable.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159), on January 1, 2008. SFAS 159 permits companies to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the Fair Value Option). Companies choosing such an election report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the Fair Value Option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting period. We did not elect to measure any of our financial assets or liabilities using the Fair Value Option. We will assess at each measurement date whether to use the Fair Value Option on any future financial assets or liabilities as permitted pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 159.
There have been no material changes or developments in the Companys evaluation of accounting estimates and underlying assumptions or methodologies that the Company believes to be Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
SFAS 157. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements by defining fair value, establishing a framework for measuring fair value, and expanding disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 (FSP FAS 157-2). FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
7
years, for non-financial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the registrants
financial statements on a recurring basis. The adoption of SFAS 157, as modified by FSP FAS 157-2, did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
SFAS 141(R). In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with limited exceptions. Specific changes in SFAS 141(R) from previously issued guidance include:
· Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred;
· Noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date;
· Certain acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently remeasured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies;
· In-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date;
· Restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and
· Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.
SFAS 141(R) also includes new disclosure requirements related to business combinations. This statement applies to all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. The impact of the adoption of this standard on the Companys financial position, results of operations, and cash flows will not be known until the Company completes a business combination subsequent to the adoption date of this standard.
SFAS 160. In December 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements: an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (formerly referred to as minority interests) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parents equity. The amount of net income attributable to a noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parents ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, SFAS 160 requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gains or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is in the process of determining the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
SFAS 161. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires more disclosures about an entitys derivative and hedging activities in order to improve the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009. The Company currently has no financial instruments that qualify as derivatives, and we do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
4. ACQUISITIONS
The Company has acquired businesses consistent with its long-term growth strategy. Results of operations for acquisitions are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition. The balances included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets related to acquisitions made during the third and
8
fourth quarters of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 are based on preliminary information and are subject to change when final asset valuations are obtained and the potential for liabilities has been evaluated. Acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the purchase price is allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Final valuations of assets and liabilities are obtained and recorded as soon as practicable and within one year from the date of the acquisition.
On January 17, 2008, the Company purchased the fishing and rental assets of Tri-Energy Services, LLC (Tri-Energy), for approximately $1.9 million in cash. These assets were integrated into our Fishing and Rental segment. The equity interests of Tri-Energy were owned by employees of the Company who joined the Company in October 2007 in connection with the acquisition of Moncla Well Service, Inc. and related entities. The purchase price was allocated to the assets purchased and the acquisition of Tri-Energy did not result in the establishment of goodwill.
On September 5, 2007, the Company acquired Advanced Measurements, Inc., which operates in Canada and is a technology company focused on oilfield service equipment controls, data acquisition, and digital information flow. The purchase price was $6.6 million in cash and $2.9 million in assumed debt and was paid in September 2007. The purchase price is subject to a working capital adjustment mechanism which was settled in February 2008 and resulted in additional consideration paid of approximately $0.9 million. This also resulted in additional goodwill of $0.9 million.
On October 25, 2007, the Company acquired Moncla Well Service, Inc. and related entities which operate well service rigs, barges, and ancillary equipment in the southeastern United States. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company refined its fair value allocation of the net assets acquired by decreasing working capital by $0.7 million with a corresponding increase to goodwill in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008.
On December 7, 2007, the Company acquired the well service assets and related equipment of Kings Oil Tools, Inc., a California-based well service company. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company revised its fair value allocation of the net assets acquired by increasing the fair value of the well service assets acquired by $1.5 million, decreased the fair value of working capital accounts by $0.1 million, and paid additional fees related to the closing of the transaction of $0.1 million. These changes were offset with a corresponding net decrease to goodwill in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008.

Certain of our intangible assets are denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars and as such the values of those assets are subject to fluctuations associated with changes in exchange rates. Additionally, certain of these assets are also subject to purchase accounting adjustments. The estimated fair value of intangible assets obtained through acquisitions consummated in the preceding twelve months are based on preliminary information which is subject to change when final valuations are obtained. Amortization expense for our intangible assets was $3.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
7. INVESTMENT IN IROC ENERGY SERVICES CORP.
As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we owned 8,734,469 shares of IROC Energy Services Corp., formerly known as IROC Systems Corp. (IROC), an Alberta-based oilfield services company. This represented approximately 19.7% of IROCs outstanding common stock on March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. IROC shares trade on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange and had a closing price of $0.80 CDN and $0.74 CDN per share on March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Mr. William Austin, our Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Newton W. Wilson III, our General Counsel, serve on the board of directors of IROC.
We have significant influence over the operations of IROC through our ownership interest and representation on IROCs board of directors, but we do not control it. We account for our investment in IROC using the equity method. Our investment in IROC totaled $10.6 million and $11.2 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The pro-rata share of IROCs earnings and losses to which we are entitled is recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of other income and expense, with an offsetting increase or decrease to the value of our investment, as appropriate. Any earnings distributed back to us from IROC in the form of dividends would result in a decrease in the value of our equity investment.
We recorded less than $0.1 million and $0.6 million of income related to our investment in IROC for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During those time periods, no earnings were distributed back to us by IROC in the form of dividends.
11
An impairment review of our equity method investment in IROC is performed on a quarterly basis to determine if there has been a decline in fair value that is other than temporary. The fair value of the asset is measured using quoted market prices or, in the absence of quoted market prices, fair value is based on an estimate of discounted cash flows. In determining whether the decline is other than temporary, we consider the cyclicality of the industry in which the investment operates, its historical performance, its performance in relation to its peers and the current economic environment. Future conditions in the industry, operating performance and performance in relation to peers and the future economic environment may vary from our current assessment of recoverability. Such future conditions could therefore result in a determination that a decline in fair value is other than temporary. IROCs stock price is currently depressed, and as such the fair value of the Companys investment is less than the amount reflected in the Companys consolidated financial statements. If we later determine that the decline is other than temporary, we would record a write-down in the carrying value of our asset to the then current fair market value.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
The Company maintains a revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks of which Bank of America Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. are the Administrative Agents (Senior Secured Credit Facility). The aggregate lending commitment of this facility is $400.0 million and allows for a combination of borrowings and issuances of letters of credit. There were borrowings of $50.0 million and outstanding letters of credit $61.1 million under the Senior Secured Credit Facility at March 31, 2008. The weighted-average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings of the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 4.17125% at March 31, 2008. The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0, maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 3.5 to 1.0, and to not exceed capital expenditures of $250.0 million in any fiscal year. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2008.
All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by most of our subsidiaries and are secured by most of our assets, including our accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.
9. INCOME TAXES
The Companys effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was 39.5 % and 38.4%, respectively. The primary difference between the statutory rate of 35% and our effective tax rate relates to state and foreign taxes.
As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had approximately $6.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, net of federal tax benefit, which, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate. We are subject to U.S. Federal Income Tax as well as income taxes in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. We have substantially concluded all U.S. federal and state tax matters through the year ended December 31, 2002.
We recognize accrued interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. We have accrued approximately $2.5 million and $2.3 million for the payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. We do not expect any substantial changes within the next 12 months related to uncertain tax positions.
12
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company applied approximately $14.5 million of the income tax refund receivable due as of December 31, 2007 against the Companys current income taxes payable. No cash refund was received by the Company.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation. Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against us. Due to locations where we conduct business in the continental United States, we are often subject to jury verdicts and arbitration hearings that result in outcomes in favor of the plaintiffs. We do not believe that the disposition of any of these matters will result in a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Gonzales Matter. In September 2005, a class action lawsuit, Gonzales v. Key Energy Services, Inc., was filed in Ventura County, California Superior Court, alleging that Key did not pay its hourly employees for travel time between the yard and the wellhead and that certain employees were denied meal and rest periods between shifts. We have recorded a liability for this matter and do not expect that the conclusion of this matter will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Litigation with Former Officers and Employees. We were named in a lawsuit by our former general counsel, Jack D. Loftis, Jr., filed in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey on April 21, 2006, in which he alleges a whistle-blower claim under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, breach of contract, breach of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, and wrongful termination. On August 17, 2007, the Company filed counterclaims against Mr. Loftis alleging attorney malpractice, breach of contract, and breach of fiduciary duties. In its counterclaims, the Company seeks repayment of all severance paid to Mr. Loftis to date (approximately $0.8 million) plus benefits paid during the period July 8, 2004 to September 21, 2004, and damages relating to the allegations of malpractice and breach of fiduciary duties. The case was transferred to and is now pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
On September 3, 2006, our former controller and assistant controller filed a joint complaint against the Company in the 133rd District Court, Harris County, Texas, alleging constructive termination and breach of contract. Additionally, on January 11, 2008, our former Chief Operating Officer, James Byerlotzer, filed a lawsuit in the 55th District Court, Harris County, Texas, alleging breach of contract based on his inability to exercise his stock options during the period that Key was not current in its SEC filings, and based on Keys failure to provide him shares of restricted stock.
We are vigorously defending against these claims; however, we cannot predict the outcome of the lawsuits.
Shareholder Class Action Suits and Derivative Actions. Since June 2004, we and certain of our officers and directors were named as a defendant in six class action complaints for alleged violations of federal securities laws, which were filed in federal district court in Texas. These six actions were consolidated into one action. Four shareholder derivative actions were filed, purportedly on our behalf. On September 7, 2007, we reached agreements in principle to settle all pending securities class action and derivative lawsuits in consideration of payments totaling $16.6 million in exchange for full and complete releases for all defendants, of which Key will be required to pay approximately $1.1 million. We received final approval of the settlement of the shareholder class action claims by the court on March 6, 2008 and preliminary court approval on the derivative actions on April 18, 2008. Final approval on the derivative action is anticipated to occur in the third quarter of 2008. We have recorded an appropriate liability for this matter.
Expired Option Holders. On September 24, 2007, Belinda Taylor, on behalf of herself and all similarly situated residents of Texas, filed a lawsuit in the 11th Judicial District of Harris County, Texas, alleging that the Company breached its contracts with current and former employees who held vested options that expired between April 28, 2004 and the date that the Company became current in its financial statements (the Expired Option Holders). The suit also alleges the Company breached its fiduciary duties and duties of good faith and fair dealing in the pricing of stock options it granted to those Expired Option Holders, based upon the alleged overstatement of assets prior to the Companys restatement. Ms. Taylor amended her lawsuit on September 25, 2007, to include all Expired Option Holders, regardless of residence. On March 6, 2008, the parties agreed to settle all pending claims with all Expired Option Holders, excluding those terminated for cause and those who have previously filed suits against Key, for approximately $1.0 million, which includes all taxes and legal fees, and we have recorded a liability in the amount of the settlement for this matter. The settlement agreement is subject to court approval, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2008.
Automobile Accident Litigation. On August 22, 2007, one of our employees was involved in an automobile accident that resulted in a third party fatality. A lawsuit arising from this accident is currently pending in Jasper County, Texas. We are vigorously defending against the claims in the lawsuit; however, at this time we cannot predict the outcome of the lawsuit. Mediation is expected to occur in June 2008. We have recorded an appropriate liability for this matter.
13
Tax Audits. We are routinely the subject of audits by tax authorities and have received some material assessments from tax auditors. As of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, we have recorded reserves that management feels are appropriate for future potential liabilities as a result of these audits. While we believe we have fully reserved for these assessments, the ultimate amount of settlements can vary from our estimates. In connection with our former Egyptian operations, which terminated in 2005, we are undergoing income tax audits for all periods in which we had operations. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had recorded a liability of approximately $0.4 million relating to open Egyptian tax audits. In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company reached a preliminary settlement with the Egyptian tax authorities on the 2003 and 2004 tax years, recording a tax benefit of $0.7 million and reducing the tax liability accrued at December 31, 2007 to approximately $0.4 million.
Self-Insurance Reserves. We maintain reserves for workers compensation and vehicle liability on our balance sheet based on our judgment and estimates using an actuarial method based on claims incurred. We estimate general liability claims on a case-by-case basis. We maintain insurance policies for workers compensation, vehicle liability and general liability claims. These insurance policies carry self-insured retention limits or deductibles on a per occurrence basis. The retention limits or deductibles are accounted for in our accrual process for all workers compensation, vehicular liability and general liability claims. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we have recorded $66.2 million and $69.0 million, respectively, of self-insurance reserves related to workers compensation, vehicular liabilities and general liability claims. Partially offsetting these liabilities, we had approximately $9.4 million and $8.1 million of insurance receivables as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Environmental Remediation Liabilities. For environmental reserve matters, including remediation efforts for current locations and those relating to previously-disposed properties, we record liabilities when our remediation efforts are probable and the costs to conduct such remediation efforts are reasonably estimated. Environmental reserves do not reflect managements assessment of the insurance coverage that may apply to these matters at issue, if such coverage is available, whereas our litigation reserves do reflect the application of our insurance coverage. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we have recorded $2.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for our environmental remediation liabilities.
We provide performance bonds to provide financial surety assurances for the remediation and maintenance of our Salt Water Disposal (SWD) properties to comply with environmental protection standards. Costs for SWD properties may be mandatory (to comply with applicable laws and regulations), in the future (required to divest or cease operations), or for optimization (to improve operations, but not for safety or regulatory compliance).
Argentina Payroll Matters. Our Argentinean subsidiary, Key Energy Services S.A., had previously underpaid social security contributions to the Administración Federal de Ingressos Públicos (AFIP) as a result of applying an incorrect rate in the calculation of our obligations. Additionally, we also underpaid AFIP as a result of our incorrect use of food stamp equivalents provided to employees as compensation. The correct amounts have been reflected in these financial statements. On May 31, 2007, we paid AFIP $3.5 million, representing the cumulative amount of underpayment and interest. As a result of our underpayment, AFIP imposed fines and penalties against us and began an audit of our filings made to them in prior years. In March 2008, we received notification from AFIP that the audit was complete with respect to this matter and that no additional monies were due.
11. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On October 26, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, in which the Company may spend up to $300.0 million to repurchase shares of its common stock on the open market. The program expires at the end of the first quarter of 2009. At March 31, 2008, the Company had $202.6 million of availability under the share repurchase program to repurchase shares of its common stock on the open market. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company repurchased an aggregate of approximately 5.2 million shares at a total cost of approximately $65.3 million, which represents the fair market value of the shares based on the price of the Companys stock on the dates of purchase. Since the inception of the program in November 2007 through March 31, 2008, we have repurchased an aggregate of approximately 7.5 million shares for a total cost of $97.4 million. Under the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are limited to stock repurchases of $200 million if our consolidated debt to capitalization ratio, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, is in excess of 50%. As of March 31, 2008, our consolidated debt to capitalization ratio was less than 50%.

We present earnings per share information in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128). Under SFAS 128, basic earnings per common share is determined by dividing net earnings applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the increased number of shares that would be outstanding assuming conversion of dilutive outstanding convertible securities using the as if converted method.

The diluted earnings per share calculation for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 exclude the potential exercise of 1.9 million and 18,000 stock options at weighted-average exercise prices of $14.63 and $16.25, respectively, because the effects of such exercises on earnings per share in those periods would be anti-dilutive. These options would be anti-dilutive because their exercise prices were higher than the average price of the Companys common stock during the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company recognized employee share-based compensation expense of $3.7 million and $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The related income tax benefit recognized was $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company did not capitalize any share-based compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
The unrecognized compensation cost related to the Companys unvested stock options, restricted shares, stock appreciation rights, and phantom shares as of March 31, 2008 was $5.9 million, $4.2 million, $2.2 million, and $2.8 million, respectively and are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years, 0.5 years, 1.4 years and 1.3 years, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we issued $425.0 million of 8.375% Senior Notes due 2014 (the Notes), which are guaranteed by virtually all of our domestic subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. The guarantees were joint and several, full, complete and unconditional. There were no restrictions on the ability of subsidiary guarantors to transfer funds to the parent company.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 3, 2008, the Company acquired Western Drilling, LLC (Western) for approximately $51.5 million in cash. Western owned 22 working well service rigs, three stacked well service rigs, and rental equipment used in the workover and rig relocation process. We acquired these assets to increase our service footprint in the California market, and the acquisition will be included in the Companys Well Servicing segment. The purchase price is subject to a working capital adjustment 45 days from the closing date. The acquisition was funded using $1.5 million of cash on hand and borrowings of $50.0 million under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. We have analyzed this transaction under the guidance provided by SFAS No. 141, Accounting for Business Combinations (SFAS 141) and have determined that the transaction will be accounted for as a business combination. At this time, we are unable to make a determination of the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
Key Energy Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company, we, us, its, and our) provides a complete range of well services to major oil companies and independent oil and natural gas production companies, including rig-based well maintenance, workover, well completion, and recompletion services, oilfield transportation services, pressure pumping services, fishing and rental services, and ancillary oilfield services. We believe that we are the leading onshore, rig-based well servicing contractor in the United States. We operate in most major oil and natural gas producing regions of the United States as well as internationally in Argentina and Mexico. We also have a technology development company based in Canada.
We operate in three business segments:
Well Servicing
We provide a broad range of well services, including rig-based services, oilfield transportation services and ancillary oilfield services. Our well service rig fleet is used to perform four major categories of rig services for our customers: (i) maintenance, (ii) workover, (iii) completion, and (iv) plugging and abandonment services. Our fluid transportation services include: (i) vacuum truck services, (ii) fluid transportation services, and (iii) disposal services for operators whose oil or natural gas wells produce saltwater and other fluids. In addition, we are a supplier of frac tanks which are used for temporary storage of fluids used in conjunction with fluid hauling operations and we also provide cased-hole electric wireline services.
Pressure Pumping Services
We provide a broad range of stimulation and completion services, also known as pressure pumping services. Our primary services include well stimulation and cementing services. Well stimulation includes fracturing, nitrogen and acidizing services. These services (which may be used in completion and workover services) are used to enhance the production of oil and natural gas wells from formations which exhibit restricted flow of oil and natural gas. In the fracturing process, we typically pump fluid and sized sand, or proppants, into a well at high pressure in order to fracture the formation and thereby increase the flow of oil and natural gas. With our cementing services, we pump cement into a well between the casing and the wellbore. We provide pressure pumping services in the Permian Basin of Texas, the Barnett Shale of North Texas, the Mid-Continent region of Oklahoma and in the San Juan Basin. In addition, we provide cementing services in California.
Fishing and Rental Services
We provide fishing and rental services in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and Permian Basin regions of the United States, as well as in the Rocky Mountains and California. Fishing services involve recovering lost or stuck equipment in the wellbore using a fishing tool, which is a downhole tool designed to recover any such equipment lost in the wellbore. We also offer a full line of services and rental equipment designed for use both onshore and offshore for drilling and workover services. Our rental tool inventory consists of tubulars, handling tools, pressure-controlled equipment, power swivels and foam air units.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of March 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, included elsewhere herein, and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Performance Measures
In determining the overall health of the oilfield service industry, we believe that the Baker Hughes U.S. land drilling rig count is the best barometer of capital spending and activity levels, since this data is made publicly available on a weekly basis. Historically, our activity levels have correlated well with capital spending by oil and natural gas producers. When commodity prices are strong, capital spending tends to be high, as illustrated by the Baker Hughes U.S. land drilling rig count. As the following table indicates, the land drilling rig count has remained high over the past several quarters as commodity prices, both oil and natural gas, have continued to increase.

Internally, we measure activity levels in our Well Servicing segment primarily through our rig and trucking hours. As capital spending by oil and natural gas producers increases, demand for our services also rises, resulting in increased rig and trucking services and more hours worked. Conversely, when activity levels decline due to lower spending by oil and natural gas producers, we provide fewer rig and trucking services, which results in lower hours worked. The number of rig and trucking hours, as well as pricing, may also be affected by increases in industry capacity. We publicly release our monthly rig and trucking hours. The following table presents our quarterly rig and trucking hours from 2007 through the first quarter of 2008.

Market Conditions Quarter Ended March 31, 2008
The Baker Hughes land drilling rig count averaged 1,712 during the first quarter of 2008, an increase of approximately 3.7% from the average of 1,651 in the first quarter of 2007. The higher drilling rig count is indicative of the strength of the U.S. marketplace, which is directly associated with the strength of oil and natural gas prices. Overall industry demand for the types of services we provide has remained high.
Including the effect of acquisitions made during the third and fourth quarters of 2007, activity levels in the first quarter of 2008 (as measured by our rig and truck hours) were higher compared to the same period in 2007. Acquisitions made during the third and fourth quarters of 2007 contributed approximately 72,000 rig hours and 10,500 trucking hours during the first quarter of 2008. Additionally, our Mexico operations contributed approximately 6,000 rig hours during the first quarter of 2008, as compared to zero in the same period of 2007. Absent the increases in activity due to acquisitions and international expansion, our rig hours were down in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 and our trucking hours were essentially flat. We anticipated these changes in activity levels because of the increased supply of well service rigs and trucking assets in the market. However, the strategic acquisitions made during the third and fourth quarters of 2007 more than offset the decline in our rig hours. In response to lower utilization of our assets, we began reducing pricing for some of our customers in certain markets during late 2007. We believe these reductions will lead to increased utilization of our equipment and recapture of market share.
In addition, we experienced an unexpected decline in activity in our Southeastern division (which principally covers Louisiana), and particularly in the inland barge rig market where we are the largest supplier. We believe that that the decrease was due primarily to customers delaying projects this year in light of poor weather conditions that had occurred in prior first quarters and that resulted in them suffering high incidences of standby charges.
21
Market Outlook for the Remainder of 2008
We believe that our business remains strong and that our activity levels will improve for the balance of 2008. We believe that the slowdown in the Louisiana barge rig market in our Southeastern division has reversed, and that utilization rates will be higher for the remainder of the year than were experienced in the first quarter. The onshore segment in this region has improved from the fourth quarter as well, and our backlog is building.
Commodity prices are still at record levels and demand for well servicing remains strong. As of March 31, 2008, crude oil prices were in excess of $105 per barrel and natural gas prices exceeded $10 per MMbtu. We believe that the current level of high oil and natural gas prices should result in our customers increasing their capital spending budgets in 2008, which we believe will drive demand for our services higher. We are also encouraged by the announcements by some of our customers stating their plans to increase their exploration and production budgets over 2007 levels.
Our 2008 activity levels and financial performance are also expected to increase as a result of the acquisitions we made during the third and fourth quarters of 2007 and the expansion of our Mexico operations. The Companys recent Kings Tool and Western Drilling acquisitions in California are performing well and have been fully integrated into our operations. We believe that improvement in the Southeastern division, specifically the inland barge market, will continue. In addition, we anticipate that our Mexico operations will continue to expand during the remainder of 2008. We have five rigs working in Mexico as of the end of April 2008, and the sixth is expected to start working by the end of May. The Company anticipates that it will have three additional rig packages in Mexico by the third quarter of 2008 and up to two more units by the end of 2008. Additionally, we have secured pricing increases for our operations in Argentina and anticipate margins for those operations to continue to improve in 2008.
During the first quarter, we deployed a strategy to increase market share in the shale plays, emphasizing offerings in gas regions. We have significantly increased our presence in the Barnett Shale, with a strong presence across most of our service offerings, and, we believe that we are a leading provider in each of the Fayette, Bakken and Marcellus Shale. We expect these markets to provide significant prospects for growth. Other growth opportunities for 2008 include the creation of a coiled tubing group that will consist of our existing fleet of coiled tubing units and six state-of-the-art coiled tubing units that are scheduled to be delivered in the second quarter of 2008. In addition, we intend to continue the expansion of our cased-hole electric wireline business. We currently anticipate that we will place an additional six cased-hole wireline trucks into service during 2008.
Because the demand for our services is generally correlated to commodity prices and drilling activity, our activity levels could be negatively impacted in the event commodity prices decline rapidly or unexpectedly. During the first quarter of 2008, our business continued to face increased competition due to additional capacity and new market entrants; however, we believe that industry capacity additions are beginning to moderate. A number of oilfield service companies, including us, have announced that capital spending will generally be lower in 2008 than 2007. This should reduce the rate of growth of new equipment entering the market.

|
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, our net income was $34.5 million, which represents a 33.9% decrease from the three months ended March 31, 2007. Our earnings per fully diluted share for the period was $0.27 per share compared to $0.39 per fully diluted share for the same period in 2007. The decline in earnings was primarily attributable to increased direct costs associated with businesses acquired during the third and fourth quarters of 2007, increased depreciation and amortization expense, and higher general and administrative costs, partially offset by higher revenues. A detailed review of our operations, including a review of our segments, for the quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 is provided below.
Revenues
Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $47.5 million, or 11.6%, to $456.4 million from $408.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Changes in revenue for each of our reportable segments were (in millions):

|
Businesses acquired during the third and fourth quarters of 2007 contributed approximately $45.0 million to the increase in well servicing revenues over the first quarter of 2007. Other increases in well servicing revenues were attributable to the expansion of our cased-hole electric wireline business, whose revenues increased approximately $4.6
23
million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007, and the expansion of our international operations in Mexico, which contributed $5.7 million of revenue during the first quarter of 2008. Absent these items, well servicing revenue decreased approximately $17.6 million. This decrease was driven primarily by lower activity levels and reduced pricing in our domestic well servicing operations as new competition and increased capacity entered the marketplace, partially offset by higher rates and increased rig utilization for our operations in Argentina.
Revenues from our pressure pumping operations increased $7.8 million, or 10.5%, for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. During 2007, we expanded our pressure pumping operations in the Barnett Shale, and this segment saw a corresponding increase in the number of frac jobs performed for our customers. Offsetting the increase in frac revenue was a decline in the number of cement jobs performed by this segment, due mainly to increased competition in the Permian Basin region and a reduction in our pricing as a result of increased competition from new market entrants.
Revenues for our fishing and rental operations increased $2.0 million, or 8.4%, for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Poor weather in January and February of 2007 hampered the operations of our Fishing and Rental segment during the first quarter of 2007, and this segments operations saw a significant increase in activity during the first quarter of 2008 that corresponded to the overall increase in activity in the sector.
Direct Costs
Direct costs increased $46.1 million, or 19.6%, to $281.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $235.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Direct costs as a percentage of revenue were 61.7% during 2008, versus 57.6% during 2007. The change in direct costs was the result of (in millions):

Exclusive of the effects of acquisitions made during the third and fourth quarters of 2007, employee compensation costs, which include salaries, bonuses, 401(k) matching and related expenses, increased approximately $8.4 million primarily as a result of increased wage rates, higher incentive compensation and increased headcount. The labor market for our employees continues to be extremely tight, and in order to retain quality personnel, we have increased wage rates and bonuses from their levels in the first quarter of 2007.
Supply and equipment costs for our pressure pumping operations, which primarily include frac sand, chemicals, and the transportation costs associated with obtaining those supplies, increased approximately $6.1 million, or 18.1%, during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in these costs was driven primarily by the expansion of our pressure pumping fleet during 2007, and by increasing market prices for the purchase and transportation of supplies. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we began purchasing our own trucks to haul frac sand in order to reduce our reliance on third-party transportation services, and the cost savings associated with this partially offset the increase.
Supplies and equipment for our well servicing operations increased approximately $5.9 million, or 11.1%, during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. A major contributor to the increase was the cost of fuel, which increased approximately $4.8 million, or 39.0%.
Acquisitions made during the third and fourth quarters of 2007 also contributed to the increase in direct costs during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Direct costs from acquired businesses included approximately $12.7 million of employee-compensation related costs, $9.1 million of repairs and maintenance and other equipment-related costs, and $4.5 million of other direct costs.
The Companys self-insurance costs, which are primarily associated with workers compensation, vehicular liability coverage and insurance premiums, decreased during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. We have
24
focused on improving safety performance, and over the last several years the number of reportable incidents has declined, leading to lower current period premiums and costs associated with incidents.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $10.4 million during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007. Assets acquired through business combinations during the third and fourth quarters of 2007 contributed approximately $6.1 million of depreciation and amortization expense during the first quarter of 2008. The remainder of the increase can be attributed to our larger fixed asset base; since the end of the first quarter of 2007, we have cumulatively spent approximately $196.6 million on capital expenditures.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased $15.7 million, or 30.1%, to $67.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $52.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The change in general and administrative expense was the result of (in millions):

Employee compensation, which includes salaries, cash bonuses, equity-based compensation, health insurance, 401(k) matching and other related costs, increased $6.6 million to $31.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $24.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Increases in general and administrative employee compensation were driven primarily by the expansion of our business development efforts, which included the reassignment of certain operational employees previously classified as direct costs of approximately $1.9 million and the hiring of additional employees of approximately $1.1 million, and the expansion of our international operations, which contributed an additional $1.4 million in general and administrative employee compensation. All other general and administrative employee compensation costs increased approximately $0.8 million during the first quarter of 2008. Absent the expansion of our business development operations, corporate general and administrative headcount remained largely unchanged from the first quarter of 2007. Total equity-based employee compensation was $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2007. Increases in equity-based compensation were driven primarily by equity grants made to our employees during the third quarter of 2007.
Reserves and settlements for legal matters increased approximately $2.8 million during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. This increase was related to several matters and reflects managements assessment of the probability and of and estimates of loss from the outcome of these matters.
Excluding bad debt expense related to our acquisitions, bad debt expense increased $0.5 million to $0.9 million during the first quarter of 2008, compared to $0.4 million during the same period in 2007. The increase in bad debt was primarily attributable to allowances recorded due to our assessment of the collectibility of certain receivables.
Business acquisitions completed during the third and fourth quarters of 2007 contributed approximately $3.3 million of general and administrative expenses during the first quarter of 2008. General and administrative expenses from acquired businesses during the three months ended March 31, 2008 consisted of approximately $1.6 million of employee compensation and related costs and $1.7 million of other general and administrative costs.
Our professional fees were relatively flat between the first quarter of 2008, compared to the first quarter of 2007. We anticipate these fees to decline over the course of 2008 due to the timing of audit costs and an overall reduction in costs.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $0.7 million, or 7.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to increased debt levels and a higher weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt.
25
Interest Income
Interest income declined approximately $1.4 million to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2007. The decline in interest income is primarily attributable to the reduction in our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, as a result of cash payments during the fourth quarter of 2007 in connection with our acquisition of Moncla Well Service, Inc. and related entities.
Income Tax Expense
Our income tax expense decreased $10.0 million, or 30.9%, to $22.5 million for the first quarter of 2008 from $32.5 million for the first quarter of 2007. The decrease in income tax expense during the first quarter of 2008 is primarily attributable to lower taxable income. Our effective tax rates were 39.5% and 38.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our effective tax rate has increased because of our expansion into more international tax jurisdictions, while our taxable income has decreased primarily due to margin contractions in certain of our core segments, offset by higher taxable income for our pressure pumping operations, and the acquisitions we made during the third and fourth quarters of 2007.

Well Servicing Segment
Revenues for our Well Servicing segment increased $37.7 million, or 12.1%, to $348.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $311.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Businesses acquired during the third and fourth quarters of 2007 contributed approximately $45.0 million to the increase in our Well Servicing segment revenues for the first quarter of 2007. Other increases in well servicing revenues were attributable to the expansion of our cased-hole electric wireline business, whose revenues increased approximately $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007, and the expansion of our international operations in Mexico, which contributed $5.7 million of revenue during the first quarter of 2008. Absent these items, well servicing revenue decreased approximately $17.6 million. This decrease was driven primarily by lower activity levels and reduced pricing in our domestic well servicing operations, resulting from new competition and increased capacity entered the marketplace, partially offset by higher rates and increased rig utilization for our operations in Argentina.
26
Direct costs for our Well Servicing segment were $211.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008, which represented an increase of $36.2 million, or 20.6%, from the same period in 2007. The increase in direct costs for our Well Servicing segment was attributable to (in millions):

Employee compensation costs, which include salaries, bonuses, health insurance, 401(k) matching and related payroll taxes, increased approximately $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, primarily as a result of increased wage rates, higher incentive compensation and increased headcount. The labor market for our employees continues to be extremely tight, and in order to retain quality personnel, we have increased wage rates and bonuses from their levels in the first quarter of 2007.
Businesses acquired during 2007 contributed approximately $26.3 million of direct costs during the first quarter of 2008. Direct costs from acquired businesses included approximately $12.7 million of employee compensation-related expenses, $9.1 million of repairs and maintenance and other equipment-related costs, and $4.5 million of other direct costs.
Self-insurance costs for our Well Servicing segment, which are primarily associated with workers compensation, vehicular liability coverage and insurance premiums, decreased approximately $2.3 million during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007. We have focused on improving safety performance, and over the last several years the number of reportable incidents has declined, leading to lower current period premiums and costs associated with incidents.
Equipment and supply costs for our Well Servicing segment increased approximately $5.9 million during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The majority of the increase in equipment and supply costs relates to the increased price of fuel. Fuel costs for our well servicing operations increased approximately $4.8 million, or 39.0%, from the first quarter of 2007.
Pressure Pumping Segment
Revenues for our Pressure Pumping segment increased $7.8 million, or 10.5%, to $81.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to $74.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Increased revenue in our Pressure Pumping segment is primarily attributable to the addition of several frac crews to serve our customer base in the Barnett Shale region, partially offset by declines in cementing operations due to increased competition.
Direct costs for our Pressure Pumping segment were $53.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008, which represented an increase of $7.2 million, or 15.6%, from the same period in 2007. The increase in direct costs for our Pressure Pumping segment was attributable to (in millions):

Employee compensation costs for our pressure pumping operations increased approximately $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Increases in employee compensation were driven primarily by higher wage rates for our crews and the addition of several frac crews during 2007 to support our increased operations in the Barnett Shale.
Equipment and supply costs for our pressure pumping operations increased approximately $6.1 million during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The two major contributors to the increase in equipment and supply costs were the increased cost of fuel (approximately $1.7 million) and the increased cost of frac sand and chemicals ($2.8 million) and the related costs to transport those items ($2.3 million). The increase in these costs was driven primarily by the expansion of our pressure pumping fleet during 2007, and by increasing market prices for the purchase and transportation of supplies. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we began purchasing our own trucks to haul frac sand in order to reduce our reliance on third-party transportation services, and the cost savings associated with this partially offset the increase.
Fishing and Rental Segment
Revenues for our fishing and rental operations increased $2.0 million, or 8.4%, for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Poor weather in January and February of 2007 hampered the operations of our Fishing and Rental segment during the first quarter of 2007, and this segments operations saw a significant increase in activity during the first quarter of 2008 that corresponded to the overall increase in activity in the sector.
Direct costs for our Fishing and Rental segment increased $2.7 million, or 19.8%, to $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $13.5 million for the first quarter of 2007. Increased direct costs for this segment are attributable to (in millions):

Employee compensation costs for our fishing and rental operations increased approximately $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in employee compensation was driven primarily by increased headcount, which increased approximately 5% in this segment during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.
Equipment costs increased approximately $1.7 million for our fishing and rental operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. Contributing to the increase in equipment costs are increased fuel expenses (approximately $0.4 million) associated with higher gas and diesel prices, increases for supplies and small parts ($0.4 million) associated with the expansion of this segments deepwater operations in southern Louisiana, and other third-party expenses ($0.7 million) incurred by this segment associated primarily with tool subrentals.

Sources of Liquidity
Our sources of liquidity include our current cash and cash equivalents, availability under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, and internally generated cash flows from operations. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we refinanced our indebtedness. We issued $425.0 million of 8.375% Senior Notes (the Notes) and used the proceeds from that issuance to retire our then-existing senior credit facility. The Notes have a coupon of 8.375%, do not require prepayments, and mature in 2014. We also entered into our current Senior Secured Credit Facility during the fourth quarter of 2007. The Senior Secured Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit facility, a letter of credit sub-facility and a swing line facility up to an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, all of which mature no later than 2012. As of March 31, 2008, $50.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $61.1 million of letters or credit issued under the letter of credit sub-facility were outstanding, which reduces the total borrowing capacity under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2008, we had $288.9 million of available borrowing capacity under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
We believe that our liquidity position is strong. As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $522.2 million of total long-term debt and capital leases, including notes payable to affiliates, and we believe that this amount is acceptable given our recent financial performance and our belief that industry activity levels for the remainder of 2008 should remain stable. On April 1, 2008, we borrowed an additional $50.0 million under our Senior Secured Credit Facility to complete our acquisition of Western on April 3, 2008.
Share Repurchase Plan
In October 2007, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $300.0 million which is effective through March 31, 2009. From the inception of the program in November 2007 through April 30, 2008, we have repurchased approximately 8.5 million shares of our common stock through open market transactions for approximately $111.9 million. Share repurchases during the first quarter of 2008 were approximately 5.2 million shares for approximately $65.3 million. Our repurchase program, as well as the amount and timing of future repurchases, is subject to market conditions, our financial condition, and our liquidity. Our Senior Secured Credit Facility permits us to make stock repurchases in excess of $200.0 million only if our consolidated debt to capitalization ratio (as defined) is below 50%; as of March 31, 2008, that ratio was below 50%.
Cash Requirements
For the remainder of 2008, we anticipate our cash requirements to include working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and the repurchase of our common stock. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, our availability under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, and our internally generated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to finance the cash requirements of our current and near-term future operations, including the capital expenditures we have budgeted for the remainder of the year. We do not budget for acquisitions; however, we continuously evaluate opportunities that fit our specific acquisition profile. We anticipate financing any future acquisitions through a combination of our cash on hand, future cash flows from operations, and availability under our Senior Secured Credit Facility.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk from those disclosed in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. More detailed information concerning market risk can be found in Item 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K dated as of, and filed with the SEC on, February 29, 2008.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, management performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designated to ensure that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation and the identification of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, management concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Because of the material weaknesses identified in our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2007, we performed additional substantive procedures so that our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP).
We believe that because we performed the substantial additional procedures referenced above, the consolidated condensed financial statements for the periods included in this Quarterly Report are fairly presented in all material respects in accordance with GAAP.
Management is committed to achieving effective internal control over financial reporting. Our remediation efforts are described in Item 9A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. While these efforts continue, we will rely on additional substantive procedures and other measures as needed to assist us with meeting the objectives otherwise fulfilled by an effective control environment.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Class Action Lawsuits and Derivative Activities
Since June 2004, we were named as a defendant in six class action complaints for alleged violations of federal securities laws, which have been filed in federal district court in Texas. They are as follows:
Cause No. MO-04-CV-082; Peter Kaltman, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated v. Key Energy Services, Inc., Francis D. John, Royce W. Mitchell, Richard J. Alario and James J. Byerlotzer, filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas
Cause No. MO-04-CV-083; Malcolm Lord, Individually and on Behalf of all Others Similarly situated v. Key Energy Services, Inc., Francis D. John, Richard J. Alario, James J. Byerlotzer and Royce W. Mitchell, filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas

Cause No. MO-04-CV-090; Celeste Navon, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated v. Key Energy Services, Inc., Francis John, Royce Mitchell, James Byerlotzer and Richard Alario, filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas
Cause No. MO-04-CV-104; David W. Ortbals, on Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly situated v. Key Energy Services, Inc., Richard J. Alario, James J. Byerlotzer, Francis D. John, and Royce W. Mitchell, filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas
Cause No. MO-04-CV-0254; Paul E. Steward, on Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly situated v. Key Energy Services, Inc., Francis D. John and Royce W. Mitchell, filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas

These six actions were consolidated into one action. On November 1, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint. The complaint was brought on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of our securities between April 29, 2003 and June 4, 2004. The complaint named Key, Francis D. John, Royce W. Mitchell, Richard J. Alario and James J. Byerlotzer as defendants. The complaint generally alleged that we made false and misleading statements and omitted material information from our public statements and SEC reports during the class period in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including alleged: (i) overstatement of revenues, net income, and earnings per share, (ii) failure to take write-downs of assets, consisting of primarily idle equipment, (iii) failure to amortize the Companys goodwill, (iv) failure to disclose that the Company lacked adequate internal controls and therefore was unable to ascertain the true financial condition of the Company, (v) material inflation of the Companys financial results at all relevant times, (vi) misrepresentation of the value of acquired businesses, and (vii) failure to disclose misappropriation of funds by employees.
In addition, four shareholder derivative suits were filed by certain of our shareholders. They are as follows:
Cause No. 2004-CV-44728; Moonlight Investments, LTD. on Behalf of Nominal Defendant Key Energy Services, Inc., v. Francis D. John, Richard J. Alario, James J. Byerlotzer, Royce W. Mitchell, Kevin P. Collins, W. Phillip Marcum, and Ralph S. Michael, III, and Key Energy Services, Inc., filed in the 385th Judicial District Court, Midland County, Texas
Cause No. EP-04-CA-0457; Sandra Weissman, Derivatively on Behalf of Key Energy Services, Inc., v. Francis D. John, David J. Breazzano, Kevin P. Collins, William D. Fertig, W. Phillip Marcum, Ralph S. Michael III, J. Robinson West, James J. Byerlotzer, Royce W. Mitchell, Richard J. Alario and Key Energy Services, Inc., a Maryland Corporation, filed in the United States District Court Western District of Texas
Cause No. EP-04-CA-0456; Daniel Bloom, Derivatively on Behalf of Key Energy Services, Inc., v. Francis D. John, David J. Breazzano, Kevin P. Collins, William D. Fertig, W. Phillip Marcum, Ralph S. Michael III, J. Robinson West, James J. Byerlotzer, Royce W. Mitchell, Richard J. Alario and Key Energy Services, Inc., a Maryland Corporation, filed in the United States District Court Western District of Texas
Cause No. 2007-31254; Sandra Weissman, Derivatively on Behalf of Key Energy Services, Inc., v. Francis D. John, David J. Breazzano, Kevin P. Collins, William D. Fertig, W. Phillip Marcum, Ralph S. Michael III, J. Robinson West, James J. Byerlotzer, Royce W. Mitchell, Richard J. Alario and Key Energy Services, Inc., a Maryland Corporation filed in the 270th Judicial District, Harris County, Texas
The first derivative suit was filed on August 9, 2004 in state court in Midland, Texas. Two other derivative suits were filed in federal court in El Paso, Texas on December 10, 2004 and subsequently transferred to federal court in Midland, Texas and consolidated by agreement of the parties. Following dismissal of those two actions for failure to make a demand, a fourth derivative suit was filed in Texas state court in Harris County, Texas on May 22, 2007. Francis D. John, David J. Breazzano, Kevin P. Collins, William D. Fertig, W. Phillip Marcum, Ralph S. Michael III, J. Robinson West, James J. Byerlotzer, Royce W. Mitchell, and Richard J. Alario were named as defendants in one or more of those actions. The actions were filed by individual shareholders purporting to act on our behalf, asserting various claims against the named officer and director defendants. The derivative actions generally allege the same facts as those in the shareholder class action suits. Those
31
suits also allege breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment by these defendants.
On September 7, 2007, we reached agreements in principle to settle all pending securities class action and derivative lawsuits in consideration of payments totaling $16.6 million in exchange for full and complete releases for all defendants, of which Key will be required to pay approximately $1.1 million. We received final approval of the settlement of the shareholder and class action claims on March 6, 2008, and preliminary court approval on the derivative action on April 18, 2008. Final approval by the court in the derivative action is anticipated to occur in the third quarter of 2008.
Other Matters
In addition to various suits and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business, we continue to be involved in litigation with our former executive officers as well as a class action lawsuit in California. We do not believe that the disposition of any of these items, including litigation with former management, will result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K dated as of, and filed with the SEC on, February 29, 2008. For a discussion of our risk factors, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Stock Repurchases. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company repurchased an aggregate approximately 5.2 million shares of its common stock. The repurchases were made pursuant to the Companys $300.0 million share repurchase program, which the Company announced in October 2007. The program expires March 31, 2009. Set forth below is a summary of the share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2008:
