Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The body of accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States is commonly referred to as GAAP.
A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, as one that purports
to measure historical or future financial performance, financial
position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that
would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measures.
In this prospectus, we disclose EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial
measure. EBITDA is calculated as net income before interest
expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and minority
interest. EBITDA is not a substitute for the GAAP measures of
earnings and cash flow. EBITDA is included in this prospectus
because our management considers it an important supplemental
measure of our performance and believes that it is frequently
used by securities analysts, investors and other interested
parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, some of
which present EBITDA when reporting their results.

Our Company
We provide specialized services and products focused on helping
oil and gas companies develop hydrocarbon reserves, reduce costs
and enhance production. We focus on basins within North America
that we believe have attractive long-term potential for growth,
and we deliver targeted, value-added services and products
required by our customers within each specific basin. We believe
our range of services and products positions us to meet many
needs of our customers at the wellsite, from drilling and
completion through production and eventual abandonment. We
manage our operations from regional field service facilities
located throughout the U.S. Rocky Mountain region, Texas,
Oklahoma, Louisiana, western Canada and Mexico.
We seek to differentiate ourselves from our competitors through
our local leadership, basin-level expertise and the innovative
application of proprietary and other technologies. We deliver
solutions to our customers that we believe lower their costs and
increase their production in a safe and environmentally friendly
manner.
Our business is comprised of three segments:
Completion and Production Services. Through our
completion and production services segment, we establish,
maintain and enhance the flow of oil and gas throughout the life
of a well. This segment is divided into the following primary
service lines:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Intervention Services. Well intervention requires the use
of specialized equipment to perform an array of wellbore
services. Our fleet of intervention service equipment includes
coiled tubing units, pressure pumping units, nitrogen units,
well service rigs, snubbing units and a variety of support
equipment. Our intervention services provide customers with
innovative solutions to increase production of oil and gas. |
|
|
|
|
|
Downhole and Wellsite Services. Our downhole and wellsite
services include electric-line, slickline, production
optimization, production testing, rental and fishing services.
We also offer several proprietary services and products that we
believe create significant value for our customers. |
|
|
|
|
Fluid Handling. We provide a variety of services to help
our customers obtain, move, store and dispose of fluids that are
involved in the development and production of their reservoirs.
Through our fleet of specialized trucks, frac tanks and other
assets, we provide fluid transportation, heating, pumping and
disposal services for our customers. |
Drilling Services. Through our drilling services segment,
we provide services and equipment that initiate or stimulate oil
and gas production by providing land drilling, specialized rig
logistics and site preparation. Through this segment, we also
provide pressure control, drill string, pipe handling and other
equipment. Our drilling rigs currently operate exclusively in
the Barnett Shale region of north Texas.
Product Sales. Through our product sales segment, we
provide a variety of equipment used by oil and gas companies
throughout the lifecycle of their wells. Our current product
offering includes completion, flow control and artificial lift
equipment as well as tubular goods.

For further information on our company, please read
Business Our Company.
Our Industry
Our business depends on the level of exploration, development
and production expenditures made by our customers. These
expenditures are driven by the current and expected future
prices for oil and gas, and the perceived stability and
sustainability of those prices. Our business is primarily driven
by natural gas drilling activity in North America. We believe
the following two principal economic factors will positively
affect our industry in the coming years:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Higher demand for natural gas in North America. We
believe that natural gas will be in high demand in North America
over the next several years because of the growing popularity of
this clean-burning fuel. |
|
|
|
|
|
Constrained North American gas supply. Although the
demand for natural gas is projected to increase, supply is
likely to be constrained as North American natural gas basins
are becoming more mature and experiencing increased decline
rates. |
|
Higher demand for natural gas and a constrained gas supply have
resulted in higher prices and increased drilling activity. The
increase in prices and drilling activity are driving three
additional trends that we believe will benefit us:
|
|
|
Trend toward drilling and developing unconventional North
American natural gas resources. Due to the maturity of
conventional North American oil and gas reservoirs and their
accelerating production decline rates, unconventional oil and
gas resources will comprise an increasing proportion of future
North American oil and gas production. Unconventional resources
include tight sands, shales and coalbed methane. These resources
require more wells to be drilled and maintained, frequently on
tighter acreage spacing. The appropriate technology to recover
unconventional gas resources varies from region to region;
therefore, knowledge of local conditions and operating
procedures, and selection of the right technologies is key to
providing customers with appropriate solutions. |
|
|
The advent of the resource play. A resource
play is a term used to describe an accumulation of
hydrocarbons known to exist over a large area which, when
compared to a conventional play, has lower commercial
development risks and a lower average decline rate. Once
identified, resource plays have the potential to make a material
impact because of their size and low decline rates. The
application of appropriate technology and program execution are
important to obtain value from resource plays. |
|
|
Increasingly complex technologies. Increasing prices and
the development of unconventional oil and gas resources are
driving the need for complex, new technologies to help increase
recovery rates, lower production costs and accelerate field
development. We believe that the increasing complexity of
technology used in the oil and gas development process coupled
with limited engineering resources will require production
companies to increase their reliance on service companies to
assist them in developing and applying these technologies. |
While we believe that these trends will benefit us, our markets
may be adversely affected by industry conditions that are
largely beyond our control. Any prolonged substantial reduction
in oil and gas prices would likely affect oil and gas drilling
and production levels and therefore affect demand for the
services we provide. For more information on this and other
risks to our business and our industry, please read Risk
Factors Risks Related to Our Business and Our
Industry.
For further information on our industry, please read
Business Our Industry.
Our Business Strategy
Our goal is to build the leading oilfield services company
focused on the completion and production phases in the life of
an oil and gas well. We intend to capitalize on the emerging
trends in the North
2
American marketplace through the execution of a growth strategy
that consists of the following components:
Expand and capitalize on local leadership and basin-level
expertise. A key component of our strategy is to build upon
our base of strong local leadership and basin-level expertise.
We have a significant presence in most of the key onshore
continental U.S. and Canadian gas plays we believe have the
potential for long-term growth. We intend to leverage our
existing market presence, strong local leadership, expertise and
customer relationships to expand our business within these gas
plays. We also intend to replicate this approach in new regions
by building and acquiring new businesses that have strong
regional management with extensive local knowledge.
Develop and deploy technical and operational solutions.
We are focused on developing and deploying technical services,
equipment and expertise that lower our customers costs.
Capitalize on organic and acquisition-related growth
opportunities. We believe there are numerous opportunities
to sell new services and products to customers in our current
geographic areas and to sell our current services and products
to customers in new geographic areas. We have a proven track
record of organic growth and successful acquisitions, and we
intend to continue using capital investments and acquisitions to
strategically expand our business.
Focus on execution and performance. We have established
and intend to develop further a culture of performance and
accountability. Senior management spends a significant portion
of its time ensuring that our customers receive the highest
quality of service.
Successful execution of our business strategy depends on our
ability to retain key personnel and to continue to employ a
sufficient number of skilled and qualified workers. The demand
for skilled workers is high, and the supply is limited. If we
are not able to retain key personnel and continue to employ a
sufficient number of skilled and qualified workers, our business
could be harmed. For more information on this and other risks to
our business and our industry, please read Risk
Factors Risks Related to Our Business and Our
Industry.
For further information on our business strategy, please read
Business Our Business Strategy.
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe that we are well positioned to execute our strategy
and capitalize on opportunities in the North American oil and
gas market based on the following competitive strengths:
Strong local leadership and basin-level expertise. We
operate our business with a focus on each regional basin
complemented by our local reputations. We believe our local and
regional businesses, some of which have been operating for more
than 50 years, provide us with a significant advantage over
many of our competitors. Our managers, sales engineers and field
operators have extensive expertise in their local geological
basins, understand the regional challenges our customers face
and have long-term relationships with many customers. We strive
to leverage this basin-level expertise to establish ourselves as
the preferred provider of our services in the basins in which we
operate.
Significant presence in major North American basins. We
operate in major oil and gas producing regions of the
U.S. Rocky Mountains, Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma,
western Canada and Mexico, with concentrations in key
resource play and unconventional basins. Resource
plays are expected to become increasingly important in future
North American oil and gas production as more conventional
resources enter later stages of the exploration cycle. We
believe we have an excellent position in highly active markets
such as the Barnett Shale region of north Texas. Accelerating
production and driving down development and production costs are
key goals for oil and gas operators in these areas, resulting in
strong demand for our services and products. In addition, our
strong presence in these regions allows us to build solid
customer relationships and take advantage of cross-selling
opportunities.
3
Focus on complementary production and field development
services. Our breadth of service and product offerings well
positions us relative to our competitors. Our complementary
services encompass the entire lifecycle of a well from drilling
and completion, through production and eventual abandonment.
This suite of services and products gives us the opportunity to
cross-sell to our customer base and throughout our geographic
regions. Leveraging our strong local leadership and basin-level
expertise, we are able to offer expanded services and products
to existing customers or current services and products to new
customers.
Innovative approach to technical and operational
solutions. We develop and deploy services and products that
enable our customers to increase production rates, stem
production declines and reduce the costs of drilling, completion
and production. The significant expertise we have developed in
our areas of operation offers our customers customized
operational solutions to meet their particular needs.
Modern and active asset base. We have a modern and
well-maintained fleet of coiled tubing units, pressure pumping
equipment, wireline units, well service rigs, snubbing units,
fluid transports, frac tanks and other specialized equipment. We
believe our ongoing investment in our equipment allows us to
better serve the diverse and increasingly challenging needs of
our customer base. Our fleet is active with high utilization. We
believe our future expenditures will be used to capitalize on
growth opportunities within the areas we currently operate and
to build out new platforms obtained through targeted
acquisitions.
Experienced management team with proven track record.
Each executive officer and member of our key operational
management team has over 20 years of experience in the
oilfield services industry. We believe that their considerable
knowledge of and experience in our industry enhances our ability
to operate effectively throughout industry cycles. Our
management also has substantial experience in identifying,
completing and integrating acquisitions.
While we believe that these strengths differentiate us from our
competitors, the markets in which we operate are highly
competitive and have relatively few barriers to entry. We face
competition from large national and multi-national companies
that have greater resources and greater name recognition than we
do as well as from several smaller companies capable of
competing effectively on a regional basis. In addition, we may
face substantial competition from new entrants in the future.

and our industry, please read Risk Factors
Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry.

Business Our Competitive Strengths.
The Combination
Prior to 2001, SCF Partners, a private equity firm, began to
target investment opportunities in service-oriented companies in
the North American natural gas market with specific focus on the
production phase of the exploration and production cycle. On
May 22, 2001, SCF Partners, through SCF-IV, L.P.
(SCF), formed Saber Energy Services, Inc.
(Saber), a new company, in connection with its
acquisition of two companies primarily focused on completion and
production related services in Louisiana. In July 2002, SCF
became the controlling stockholder of Integrated Production
Services, Ltd. a production enhancement company that, at the
time, focused its operation in Canada. In September 2002, Saber
acquired this company and changed its name to Integrated
Production Services, Inc. (IPS). Subsequently, IPS
began to grow organically and through several acquisitions, with
the ultimate objective of creating a technical leader in the
enhancement of natural gas production. In November 2003, SCF
formed another production services company, Complete Energy
Services, Inc. (CES), establishing a platform from
which to grow in the Barnett Shale region of north Texas.
Subsequently, through organic growth and several acquisitions,
CES extended its presence to the U.S. Rocky Mountain and
the Mid-Continent regions. In the summer of 2004, SCF formed
I.E. Miller Services, Inc. (IEM), which at the
time had a presence in Louisiana and Texas. During 2004, IPS and
IEM independently began to execute strategic initiatives to
establish a presence in both the Barnett Shale and
U.S. Rocky Mountain regions.
4
On September 12, 2005, IPS, CES and IEM were combined and
became Complete Production Services, Inc. in a transaction we
refer to as the Combination. We believe that
operational and financial benefits realized through the
Combination establish the foundation for long-term growth for
the combined company. Immediately after the Combination, SCF
held approximately 70% of our outstanding common stock. For
additional information regarding the Combination, see
Business The Combination.

EBITDA consists of net income (loss) before interest expense,
taxes, depreciation and amortization and minority interest. See
Non-GAAP Financial Measures. EBITDA is included in
this prospectus because our management considers it an important
supplemental measure of our performance and believes that it is
frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other
interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our
industry, some of which present EBITDA when reporting their
results. We regularly evaluate our performance as compared to
other companies in our industry that have different financing
and capital structures and/or tax rates by using EBITDA. In
addition, we use EBITDA in evaluating acquisition targets.
Management also believes that EBITDA is a useful tool for
measuring our ability to meet our future debt service, capital
expenditures and working capital requirements, and EBITDA is
commonly used by us and our investors to measure our ability to
service indebtedness. EBITDA is not a substitute for the GAAP
measures of earnings or of cash flow and is not necessarily a
measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. In addition, it
should be noted that companies calculate EBITDA differently and,
therefore, EBITDA has material limitations as a performance
measure because it excludes interest expense, taxes,
depreciation and amortization and minority interest. The
following table reconciles EBITDA with our net income (loss). |
|
|
(3) |
Acquisitions, net of cash required, consists only of the cash
component of acquisitions. It does not include common stock and
notes issued for acquisitions, nor does it include other
non-cash assets issued for acquisitions. |

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of
risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors,
together with the other information contained in this
prospectus, before deciding to invest in our common stock. If
any of the following risks develop into actual events, our
business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows could be materially adversely affected, the trading price
of shares of our common stock could decline, and you may lose
all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry
|
|
|
Our business depends on the oil and gas industry and
particularly on the level of activity for North American oil and
gas. Our markets may be adversely affected by industry
conditions that are beyond our control. |
We depend on our customers willingness to make operating
and capital expenditures to explore for, develop and produce oil
and gas in North America. If these expenditures decline, our
business will suffer. Our customers willingness to
explore, develop and produce depends largely upon prevailing
industry conditions that are influenced by numerous factors over
which management has no control, such as:
|
|
|
|
|
the supply of and demand for oil and gas; |
|
|
|
the level of prices, and expectations about future prices, of
oil and gas; |
|
|
|
the cost of exploring for, developing, producing and delivering
oil and gas; |
|
|
|
the expected rates of declining current production; |
|
|
|
the discovery rates of new oil and gas reserves; |
|
|
|
available pipeline and other transportation capacity; |
|
|
|
weather conditions, including hurricanes that can affect oil and
gas operations over a wide area; |
|
|
|
domestic and worldwide economic conditions; |
|
|
|
political instability in oil and gas producing countries; |
|
|
|
technical advances affecting energy consumption; |
|
|
|
the price and availability of alternative fuels; |
|
|
|
the ability of oil and gas producers to raise equity capital and
debt financing; and |
|
|
|
merger and divestiture activity among oil and gas producers. |
The level of activity in the North American oil and gas
exploration and production industry is volatile. Expected trends
in oil and gas production activities may not continue and demand
for the services provided by us may not reflect the level of
activity in the industry. Any prolonged substantial reduction in
oil and gas prices would likely affect oil and gas production
levels and therefore affect demand for the services we provide.
A material decline in oil and gas prices or North American
activity levels could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows. In addition, a decrease in the development rate of oil
and gas reserves in our market areas may also have an adverse
impact on our business, even in an environment of stronger oil
and gas prices.
|
|
|
Because the oil and gas industry is cyclical, our
operating results may fluctuate. |
Oil prices have been volatile over the last three years, with
WTI Cushing crude oil spot price ranging from a low of
$25.19 per bbl on November 13, 2002, to a high of
$69.81 per bbl on August 30, 2005. Gas prices have
also been volatile with Henry Hub natural gas spot price,
ranging in the last year from $4.85 per mcf on
November 19, 2004 to $14.65 per mcf on
October 26, 2005. In addition, in recent periods, these
prices have been at historically high levels. Prices may not
remain at these levels. These price changes have caused oil and
gas companies and drilling contractors to change their
strategies and
10
expenditure levels. We have experienced in the past, and may
experience in the future, significant fluctuations in operating
results based on these changes. We reported a loss in 2002, and
our income in 2004 was $17.7 million compared to
$1.6 million in 2003.
Substantially all of the service and rental revenue we earn is
based upon a charge for a relatively short period of time (an
hour, a day, a week) for the actual period of time the service
or rental is provided to our customer. By contracting services
on a short-term basis, we are exposed to the risks of a rapid
reduction in market price and utilization and volatility in our
revenues. Product sales are recorded when the actual sale occurs
and title or ownership passes to the customer and the product is
shipped or delivered to the customer.
|
|
|
There is potential for excess capacity in our
industry. |
Because oil and gas prices and drilling activity have been at
historically high levels, oilfield service companies have been
acquiring new equipment to meet their customers increasing
demand for services. If these levels of price and activity do
not continue, there is a potential for excess capacity in the
oilfield service industry. This could result in an increased
competitive environment for oilfield service companies, which
could lead to lower prices and utilization for our services and
could adversely affect our business.
|
|
|
We may be unable to employ a sufficient number of skilled
and qualified workers. |
The delivery of our services and products requires personnel
with specialized skills and experience who can perform
physically demanding work. As a result of the volatility of the
oilfield service industry and the demanding nature of the work,
workers may choose to pursue employment in fields that offer a
more desirable work environment at wage rates that are
competitive. Our ability to be productive and profitable will
depend upon our ability to employ and retain skilled workers. In
addition, our ability to expand our operations depends in part
on our ability to increase the size of our skilled labor force.
The demand for skilled workers is high, and the supply is
limited, particularly in the U.S. Rocky Mountain region,
which is one of our key regions. A significant increase in the
wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of
our skilled labor force, increases in the wage rates that we
must pay, or both. If either of these events were to occur, our
capacity and profitability could be diminished and our growth
potential could be impaired.
|
|
|
Our executive officers and certain key personnel are
critical to our business and these officers and key personnel
may not remain with us in the future. |
Our future success depends upon the continued service of our
executive officers and other key personnel. If we lose the
services of one or more of our executive officers or key
employees, our business, operating results and financial
condition could be harmed.
|
|
|
Our operating history may not be sufficient for investors
to evaluate our business and prospects. |
We are a recently combined company with a short combined
operating history. In addition, two of our combining companies,
IPS and CES, have grown significantly over the last few years
through acquisitions. This may make it more difficult for
investors to evaluate our business and prospects and to forecast
our future operating results. The historical combined financial
statements and the unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements included in this prospectus are based on the separate
businesses of IPS, CES and IEM for the periods prior to the
Combination. As a result, the historical and pro forma
information may not give you an accurate indication of what our
actual results would have been if the Combination had been
completed at the beginning of the periods presented or of what
our future results of operations are likely to be. Our future
results will depend on our ability to efficiently manage our
combined operations and execute our business strategy.
11
|
|
|
We participate in a capital intensive business. We may not
be able to finance future growth of our operations or future
acquisitions. |
Historically, we have funded the growth of our operations and
our acquisitions from bank debt and private placement of shares
in addition to cash generated by our business. In the future, we
may not be able to continue to obtain sufficient bank debt at
competitive rates or complete equity and other debt financings.
If we do not generate sufficient cash from our business to fund
operations, our growth could be limited unless we are able to
obtain additional capital through equity or debt financings. Our
inability to grow as planned may reduce our chances of
maintaining and improving profitability.

Our inability to control the inherent risks of acquiring
and integrating businesses could adversely affect our
operations. |
We are a recently combined company and integrating our ongoing
businesses may be difficult. In particular, the integration of
businesses and operations that are located in disparate regions
of North America may prove difficult to achieve in a
cost-effective manner. The inability of management to
successfully integrate the combining companies could have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and
financial position. Moreover, we may not be able to cross sell
our services and penetrate new markets successfully and we may
not obtain the anticipated or desired benefits of the
Combination. In addition to the Combination, acquisitions have
been, and our management believes acquisitions will continue to
be, a key element of our business strategy. We may not be able
to identify and acquire acceptable acquisition candidates on
favorable terms in the future. We may be required to incur
substantial indebtedness to finance future acquisitions and also
may issue equity securities in connection with such
acquisitions. Such additional debt service requirements may
impose a significant burden on our results of operations and
financial condition. The issuance of additional equity
securities could result in significant dilution to stockholders.
Acquisitions may not perform as expected when the acquisition
was made and may be dilutive to our overall operating results.
Additional risks we will face include:
|
|
|
|
|
retaining and attracting key employees; |
|
|
|
retaining and attracting new customers; |
|
|
|
increased administrative burden; |
|
|
|
developing our sales and marketing capabilities; |
|
|
|
managing our growth effectively; |
|
|
|
integrating operations; |
|
|
|
operating a new line of business; and |
|
|
|
increased logistical problems common to large, expansive
operations. |
If we fail to manage these risks successfully, our business
could be harmed.
|
|
|
Our customer base is concentrated within the oil and gas
production industry and loss of a significant customer could
cause our revenue to decline substantially. |
Our top five customers accounted for approximately 21% of our
consolidated revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. Although none of our customers in the
first nine months of 2005 accounted for more than 10% of our
consolidated revenue, collectively, our top ten customers
represented approximately 33% of consolidated revenue for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005. It is likely that we
will continue to derive a significant portion of our revenue
from a relatively small number of customers in the future. If a
major customer decided not to continue to use our services,
revenue would decline and our operating results and financial
condition could be harmed.
12
|
|
|
Our indebtedness could restrict our operations and make us
more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions. |
At September 30, 2005, our long-term debt (excluding the
current portion) was $452 million and our
stockholders equity was $179 million. Our level of
indebtedness may adversely affect operations and limit our
growth, and we may have difficulty making debt service payments
on our indebtedness as such payments become due. Our level of
indebtedness may affect our operations in several ways,
including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
our level of debt increases our vulnerability to general adverse
economic and industry conditions; |
|
|
|
the covenants that are contained in the agreements that govern
our indebtedness limit our ability to borrow funds, dispose of
assets, pay dividends and make certain investments; |
|
|
|
our debt covenants also affect our flexibility in planning for,
and reacting to, changes in the economy and in our industry; |
|
|
|
any failure to comply with the financial or other covenants of
our debt could result in an event of default, which could result
in some or all of our indebtedness becoming immediately due and
payable; |
|
|
|
our level of debt may impair our ability to obtain additional
financing in the future for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate
purposes; and |
|
|
|
our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from
operations to enable us to meet our obligations under our
indebtedness. |
The majority of our debt is structured under floating interest
rate terms. A one percentage point increase in the interest
rates on our $420 million of Term Debt B debt
currently outstanding causes a $4.2 million pre-tax annual
increase in interest expense.
|
|
|
Our business depends upon our ability to obtain key raw
materials and specialized equipment from suppliers. |
Should our current suppliers be unable to provide the necessary
raw materials or finished products (such as workover rigs or
fluid-handling equipment) or otherwise fail to deliver the
products timely and in the quantities required, any resulting
delays in the provision of services could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
|
|
|
We may not be able to provide services that meet the
specific needs of oil and gas exploration and production
companies at competitive prices. |
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and have
relatively few barriers to entry. The principal competitive
factors in our markets are price, product and service quality
and availability, responsiveness, experience, technology,
equipment quality and reputation for safety. We compete with
large national and multi-national companies that have longer
operating histories, greater financial, technical and other
resources and greater name recognition than we do. Several of
our competitors provide a broader array of services and have a
stronger presence in more geographic markets. In addition, we
compete with several smaller companies capable of competing
effectively on a regional or local basis. Our competitors may be
able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and
services and changes in customer requirements. Some contracts
are awarded on a bid basis, which further increases competition
based on price. As a result of competition, we may lose market
share or be unable to maintain or increase prices for our
present services or to acquire additional business
opportunities, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
13
|
|
|
Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oil
and gas industry. |
Risks inherent to our industry, such as equipment defects,
vehicle accidents, explosions and uncontrollable flows of gas or
well fluids, can cause personal injury, loss of life, suspension
of operations, damage to formations, damage to facilities,
business interruption and damage to or destruction of property,
equipment and the environment. These risks could expose us to
substantial liability for personal injury, wrongful death,
property damage, loss of oil and gas production, pollution and
other environmental damages. The frequency and severity of such
incidents will affect operating costs, insurability and
relationships with customers, employees and regulators.
We work in a dangerous business. Many of the claims filed
against us relate to vehicle accidents that result in the loss
of life or serious bodily injury. Our safety procedures may not
always prevent such damages. Our insurance coverage may be
inadequate to cover our liabilities. In addition, we may not be
able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we
consider reasonable and commercially justifiable, or that
insurance will continue to be available on terms as favorable as
our current arrangements. The occurrence of a significant
uninsured claim, a claim in excess of the insurance coverage
limits maintained by us or a claim at a time when we are not
able to obtain liability insurance, could have a material
adverse effect on our ability to conduct normal business
operations and on our financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
|
|
|
If we become subject to product liability claims, it could
be time-consuming and costly to defend. |
Since our customers use our products or third party products
that we sell through our supply stores, errors, defects or other
performance problems could result in financial or other damages
to us. Our customers could seek damages from us for losses
associated with these errors, defects or other performance
problems. If successful, these claims could have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial
condition. Our existing product liability insurance may not be
enough to cover the full amount of any loss we might suffer. A
product liability claim brought against us, even if
unsuccessful, could be time-consuming and costly to defend and
could harm our reputation.
|
|
|
We are subject to extensive and costly environmental laws
and regulations that may require us to take actions that will
adversely affect our results of operations. |
Our business is significantly affected by stringent and complex
foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations governing
the discharge of substances into the environment or otherwise
relating to environmental protection. As part of our business,
we handle, transport, and dispose of a variety of fluids and
substances used or produced by our customers in connection with
their oil and gas exploration and production activities. We also
generate and dispose of hazardous waste. The generation,
handling, transportation, and disposal of these fluids,
substances, and waste are regulated by a number of laws,
including the Resource Recovery and Conservation Act; the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act; the Clean Water Act; the Safe Drinking Water Act;
and analogous state laws. Failure to properly handle, transport,
or dispose of these materials or otherwise conduct our
operations in accordance with these and other environmental laws
could expose us to liability for governmental penalties, cleanup
costs associated with releases of such materials, damages to
natural resources, and other damages, as well as potentially
impair our ability to conduct our operations. We could be
exposed to liability for cleanup costs, natural resource damages
and other damages under these and other environmental laws as a
result of our conduct that was lawful at the time it occurred or
the conduct of, or conditions caused by, prior operators or
other third parties. Environmental laws and regulations have
changed in the past, and they are likely to change in the
future. If existing regulatory requirements or enforcement
policies change, we may be required to make significant
unanticipated capital and operating expenditures.
14
Any failure by us to comply with applicable environmental laws
and regulations may result in governmental authorities taking
actions against our business that could adversely impact our
operations and financial condition, including the:
|
|
|
|
|
issuance of administrative, civil and criminal penalties; |
|
|
|
denial or revocation of permits or other authorizations; |
|
|
|
imposition of limitations on our operations; and |
|
|
|
performance of site investigatory, remedial or other corrective
actions. |
The effect of environmental laws and regulations on our business
is discussed in greater detail under Business
Environmental Matters.
|
|
|
The nature of our industry subjects us to compliance with
other regulatory laws. |
Our business is significantly affected by state and federal laws
and other regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in
general, and more specifically with respect to health and
safety, waste management and the manufacture, storage, handling
and transportation of hazardous materials and by changes in and
the level of enforcement of such laws. The failure to comply
with these rules and regulations can result in substantial
penalties, revocation of permits, corrective action orders and
criminal prosecution. The regulatory burden on the oil and gas
industry increases our cost of doing business and, consequently,
affects our profitability. We may be subject to claims alleging
personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged
exposure to hazardous substances. It is impossible for
management to predict the cost or impact of such laws and
regulations on our future operations.
|
|
|
If we fail to develop or maintain an effective system of
internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our
financial results or prevent fraud. |
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide
reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we
cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our
reputation and operating results would be harmed. Our efforts to
continue to develop and maintain internal controls may not be
successful, and we may be unable to maintain adequate controls
over our financial processes and reporting in the future,
including compliance with the obligations under Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any failure to develop or
maintain effective controls, or difficulties encountered in our
implementation or other effective improvement of our internal
controls, could harm our operating results.
|
|
|
A terrorist attack or armed conflict could harm our
business. |
Terrorist activities, anti-terrorist efforts and other armed
conflicts involving the United States or other countries
may adversely affect the United States and global economies and
could prevent us from meeting our financial and other
obligations. If any of these events occur, the resulting
political instability and societal disruption could reduce
overall demand for oil and gas, potentially putting downward
pressure on demand for our services and causing a reduction in
our revenues. Oil and gas related facilities could be direct
targets of terrorist attacks, and our operations could be
adversely impacted if infrastructure integral to our
customers operations is destroyed or damaged. Costs for
insurance and other security may increase as a result of these
threats, and some insurance coverage may become more difficult
to obtain, if available at all.
|
|
|
Conservation measures and technological advances could
reduce demand for oil and gas. |
Fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements,
increasing consumer demand for alternatives to oil and gas,
technological advances in fuel economy and energy generation
devices could reduce demand for oil and gas. Management cannot
predict the impact of the changing demand for oil and gas
services and products, and any major changes may have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
15
|
|
|
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates in Canada could
adversely affect our business. |
We have substantial operations in Canada. As a result,
fluctuations in currency exchange rates in Canada could
materially and adversely affect our business. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2005, our Canadian operations
represented approximately 14% of our revenue and 7% of our net
income before taxes and minority interest.
|
|
|
We are susceptible to seasonal earnings volatility due to
adverse weather conditions in Canada. |
Our operations are directly affected by seasonal differences in
weather in Canada. The level of activity in the Canadian
oilfield services industry declines significantly in the second
calendar quarter, when frost leaves the ground and many
secondary roads are temporarily rendered incapable of supporting
the weight of heavy equipment. The duration of this period is
referred to as spring breakup and has a direct
impact on our activity levels in Canada. The timing and duration
of spring breakup depend on weather patterns but
generally spring breakup occurs in April and May.
Additionally, if an unseasonably warm winter prevents sufficient
freezing, we may not be able to access wellsites and our
operating results and financial condition may, therefore, be
adversely affected. The demand for our services may also be
affected by the severity of the Canadian winters. In addition,
during excessively rainy periods, equipment moves may be
delayed, thereby adversely affecting operating results. The
volatility in weather and temperature in the Canadian oilfield
can therefore create unpredictability in activity and
utilization rates. As a result, full-year results are not likely
to be a direct multiple of any particular quarter or combination
of quarters.
|
|
|
Our operations in Mexico are subject to specific risks,
including dependence on Petróleos Mexicanos
(PEMEX) as the sole customer, exposure to
fluctuation in the Mexican peso and workforce
unionization. |
Our business in Mexico is substantially all performed for PEMEX
pursuant to multi-year contracts. These contracts are generally
two years in duration and are subject to competitive bid for
renewal. Any failure by us to renew our contracts could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
The PEMEX contracts provide that approximately 80% of the
revenues thereunder are denominated in pesos at the date of
invoice. Invoices are paid approximately 45 days after the
invoice date and as such we are exposed to fluctuation in the
peso during this 45-day period. A material decrease in the value
of the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar could
negatively impact our revenues, cash flows and net income.
Our operations in Mexico are party to a collective labor
contract made effective as of October 1, 2003 between
Servicios Petrotec S.A. DE C.V., one of our subsidiaries, and
Unión Sindical de Trabajadores de la Industria
Metálica y Similares, the metal and similar industry
workers labor union. We have not experienced work stoppages in
the past but cannot guarantee that we will not experience work
stoppages in the future. A prolonged work stoppage could
negatively impact our revenues, cash flows and net income.
|
|
|
Our U.S. operations in the Gulf of Mexico are
adversely impacted by the hurricane season, which generally
occurs in the third calendar quarter. |
Hurricanes and the threat of hurricanes during this period will
often result in the shut-down of oil and gas operations in the
Gulf of Mexico as well as land operations within the hurricane
path. During a shut-down period, we are unable to access
wellsites and our services are also shut down. This situation
can therefore create unpredictability in activity and
utilization rates, which can have a material adverse impact on
our business, financial conditions, results of operations and
cash flows.
|
|
|
When rig counts are low, our rig relocation customers may
not have a need for our services. |
Many of the major U.S. onshore drilling services
contractors have significant capabilities to move their own
drilling rigs and related oilfield equipment and to erect rigs.
When regional rig counts are high, drilling services contractors
exceed their own capabilities and contract for additional
oilfield equipment
16
hauling and rig erection capacity. Our rig relocation business
activity is highly correlated to the rig count; however, the
correlation varies over the rig count range. As rig count drops,
some drilling services contractors reach a point where all of
their oilfield equipment hauling and rig erection needs can be
met by their own fleets. If one or more of our rig relocation
customers reach this tipping point, our revenues
attributable to rig relocation will decline much faster than the
corresponding overall decline in the rig count. This non-linear
relationship between our rig relocation business activity and
the rig count in the areas in which we have rig relocation
operations can increase significantly our earnings volatility
with respect to rig relocation.
|
|
|
Increasing trucking regulations may increase our costs and
negatively impact our results of operations. |
Among the services we provide, we operate as a motor carrier and
therefore are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department
of Transportation and by various state agencies. These
regulatory authorities exercise broad powers, governing
activities such as the authorization to engage in motor carrier
operations and regulatory safety. There are additional
regulations specifically relating to the trucking industry,
including testing and specification of equipment and product
handling requirements. The trucking industry is subject to
possible regulatory and legislative changes that may affect the
economics of the industry by requiring changes in operating
practices or by changing the demand for common or contract
carrier services or the cost of providing truckload services.
Some of these possible changes include increasingly stringent
environmental regulations, changes in the hours of service
regulations which govern the amount of time a driver may drive
in any specific period, onboard black box recorder devices or
limits on vehicle weight and size.
Interstate motor carrier operations are subject to safety
requirements prescribed by the U.S. Department of
Transportation. To a large degree, intrastate motor carrier
operations are subject to state safety regulations that mirror
federal regulations. Such matters as weight and dimension of
equipment are also subject to federal and state regulations.
From time to time, various legislative proposals are introduced,
including proposals to increase federal, state, or local taxes,
including taxes on motor fuels, which may increase our costs or
adversely impact the recruitment of drivers. We cannot predict
whether, or in what form, any increase in such taxes applicable
to us will be enacted.
Risks Related to Our Relationship with SCF
|
|
|
L.E. Simmons, through SCF, controls the outcome
of stockholder voting and may exercise this voting power in a
manner adverse to you. |
After the offering, SCF will own
approximately %
of our outstanding common stock and
approximately % of our outstanding
common stock if the over-allotment option is exercised in full.
L.E. Simmons is the sole owner of L.E. Simmons and
Associates, Incorporated, the ultimate general partner of SCF.
Accordingly, Mr. Simmons, through his ownership of the
ultimate general partner of SCF, will be in a position to
control the outcome of matters requiring a stockholder vote,
including the election of directors, adoption of amendments to
our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or approval of
transactions involving a change of control. The interests of
Mr. Simmons may differ from yours, and SCF may vote its
common stock in a manner that may adversely affect you.
|
|
|
SCFs ownership interest and provisions contained in
our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage a
takeover attempt, which may reduce or eliminate the likelihood
of a change of control transaction and, therefore, your ability
to sell your shares for a premium. |
In addition to SCFs controlling position, provisions
contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, such
as a classified board, limitations on the removal of directors,
on stockholder proposals at meetings of stockholders and on
stockholder action by written consent and the inability of
stockholders to call special meetings, could make it more
difficult for a third party to acquire control of our company.
Our certificate of incorporation also authorizes our board of
directors to issue preferred stock without
17
stockholder approval. If our board of directors elects to issue
preferred stock, it could increase the difficulty for a third
party to acquire us, which may reduce or eliminate your ability
to sell your shares of common stock at a premium. See
Description of Our Capital Stock.
|
|
|
Two of our directors may have conflicts of interest
because they are affiliated with SCF. The resolution of these
conflicts of interest may not be in our or your best
interests. |
Two of our directors, David C. Baldwin and Andrew L. Waite, are
current officers of L.E. Simmons and Associates,
Incorporated, the ultimate general partner of SCF. This may
create conflicts of interest because these directors have
responsibilities to SCF and its owners. Their duties as officers
of L.E. Simmons and Associates, Incorporated may conflict
with their duties as directors of our company regarding business
dealings between SCF and us and other matters. The resolution of
these conflicts may not always be in our or your best interest.
|
|
|
We have renounced any interest in specified business
opportunities, and SCF and its director nominees on our board of
directors generally have no obligation to offer us those
opportunities. |
SCF has investments in other oilfield service companies that may
compete with us, and SCF and its affiliates, other than our
company, may invest in other such companies in the future. We
refer to SCF and its other affiliates and its portfolio
companies as the SCF group. Our certificate of incorporation
provides that, so long as we have a director or officer that is
affiliated with SCF (an SCF Nominee), we
renounce any interest or expectancy in any business opportunity
in which any member of the SCF group participates or
desires or seeks to participate in and that involves any aspect
of the energy equipment or services business or industry, other
than (i) any business opportunity that is brought to the
attention of an SCF Nominee solely in such persons
capacity as a director or officer of our company and with
respect to which no other member of the SCF group independently
receives notice or otherwise identifies such opportunity and
(ii) any business opportunity that is identified by the SCF
group solely through the disclosure of information by or on
behalf of our company. We are not prohibited from pursuing any
business opportunity with respect to which we have renounced any
interest.
Risks Related to this Offering
|
|
|
Future sales of shares of our common stock may affect
their market price and the future exercise of options may
depress our stock price and result in immediate and substantial
dilution. |
We cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of shares of
our common stock, or the availability of shares for future sale,
will have on the market price of our common stock. Upon
completion of this offering, SCF will
own shares
of our common stock,
or %
of our outstanding common stock
(or shares
of our common stock,
or %,
if the over-allotment option is fully exercised) and our
existing stockholders (other than SCF) will
own shares
of our common stock,
or %
of our outstanding common stock
(or shares
of our common stock
or %
of our outstanding common stock if the over-allotment option is
fully exercised). We and our officers and directors and the
selling stockholders are subject to the lock-up agreements
described in Underwriting for a period of
180 days after the date of this prospectus. Existing
stockholders are parties to a registration rights agreement
granting them certain demand and piggyback registrations in the
future. In addition, shares beneficially held for at least one
year will be eligible for sale in the public market pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
the Securities Act, subject to the lock-up agreements. Sales of
substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market
following our initial public offering, or the perception that
such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price
of our common stock and may make it more difficult for you to
sell your shares at a time and price that you deem appropriate.
Please read Shares Eligible for Future Sale.
As soon as practicable after this offering, we intend to file
one or more registration statements with the SEC on
Form S-8 providing for the registration of shares of our
common stock issued or reserved for issuance under our stock
incentive plans. Subject to the expiration of lock-ups that we
and certain of our
18
stockholders have entered into and any applicable restrictions
or conditions contained in our stock incentive plans, the shares
registered under these registration statements on Form S-8
will be available for resale immediately in the public market
without restriction.
|
|
|
Purchasers of common stock will experience immediate and
substantial dilution. |
Based on an assumed initial public offering price of
$ per
share, purchasers of our common stock in this offering will
experience an immediate and substantial dilution of
$ per
share in the net tangible book value per share of common stock
from the initial public offering price, and our pro forma net
tangible book value as of September 30, 2005, after giving
effect to this offering, would be
$ per
share. You will incur further dilution if outstanding options to
purchase common stock are exercised. In addition, our
certificate of incorporation allows us to issue significant
numbers of additional shares, including shares that may be
issued under our stock incentive plans. Please read
Dilution for a complete description of the
calculation of net tangible book value.
|
|
|
Because we have no current plans to pay dividends on our
common stock, investors must look solely to stock appreciation
for a return on their investment in us. |
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock
in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all
future earnings to fund the development and growth of our
business. Any payment of future dividends will be at the
discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among
other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital
requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual
restrictions applying to the payment of dividends and other
considerations that the board of directors deems relevant.
Investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price
appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize
a return on their investment.
|
|
|
There has been no active trading market for our common
stock, and an active trading market may not develop. |
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our
common stock. We will apply to list our common stock on the New
York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. We do not know if an active
trading market will develop for our common stock or how the
common stock will trade in the future, which may make it more
difficult for you to sell your shares. Negotiations between the
underwriters and us determined the initial public offering
price, which may not be indicative of the price at which our
common stock will trade following the completion of this
offering. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above
the initial public offering price.
|
|
|
If our stock price fluctuates after the initial public
offering, you could lose a significant part of your
investment. |
In recent years, the stock market has experienced extreme price
and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant
effect on the market price of securities issued by many
companies for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of
these companies. The market price of our common stock could
similarly be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a
number of factors, most of which we cannot control, including:
|
|
|
|
|
changes in securities analysts recommendations and their
estimates of our financial performance; |
|
|
|
the publics reaction to our press releases, announcements
and our filings with the SEC and those of our competitors; |
|
|
|
fluctuations in broader stock market prices and volumes,
particularly among securities of oil and gas service companies; |
|
|
|
changes in market valuations of similar companies; |
|
|
|
investor perception of our industry or our prospects; |
|
|
|
additions or departures of key personnel; |
19
|
|
|
|
|
commencement of or involvement in litigation; |
|
|
|
changes in environmental and other governmental regulations; |
|
|
|
announcements by us or our competitors of strategic alliances,
significant contracts, new technologies, acquisitions,
commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
|
|
|
variations in our quarterly results of operations or cash flows
or those of other oil and gas service companies; |
|
|
|
revenue and operating results failing to meet the expectations
of securities analysts or investors in a particular quarter; |
|
|
|
changes in our pricing policies or pricing policies of our
competitors; |
|
|
|
future issuances and sales of our common stock; |
|
|
|
demand for and trading volume of our common stock; |
|
|
|
domestic and worldwide supplies and prices of and demand for oil
and gas; and |
|
|
|
changes in general conditions in the domestic and worldwide
economies, financial markets or the oil and gas industry. |
The realization of any of these risks and other factors beyond
our control could cause the market price of our common stock to
decline significantly. In particular, the market price of our
common stock may be influenced by variations in oil and gas
commodity prices, because demand for our services is closely
related to the prices of these commodities. This may cause our
stock price to fluctuate with these underlying commodity prices,
which are highly volatile.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We expect to receive net proceeds from the sale
of shares
of common stock by us in this offering of approximately
$240 million, assuming an initial public offering price of
$ per
share and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions
and estimated offering expenses. We will not receive any of the
proceeds from any sale of shares of our common stock by the
selling stockholders.
We plan to use $50 million of our net proceeds from this
offering to repay a portion of our term loan facility,
$5 million to repay seller financed notes and the remainder
to pay all outstanding balances under our revolving credit
facility and for general corporate purposes, which may include
cash payments made in connection with future acquisitions. Our
current senior credit facility consists of a $130 million
U.S. revolver, a $30 million Canadian revolver and a term
loan facility of $420 million. As of September 30,
2005, we had $420 million of indebtedness outstanding under
the term loan portion of our senior credit facility. The current
term loan bears interest at either a base rate plus 1.75%, or
the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus
2.75%, and matures in September 2012. As of September 30,
2005, we had approximately $26 million in indebtedness
outstanding under our revolving credit facility. The revolving
credit facility bears interest at either a base rate plus an
applicable margin ranging between 0.25% and 1.75%, or LIBOR plus
an applicable margin between 1.25% and 2.75% in the case of U.S.
borrowings. In the case of borrowings under the Canadian
revolving credit facility, interest is based on the Canadian
Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an
applicable margin ranging between 0.25% and 1.75%. Our
borrowings under the term loan and revolving credit facility
were used to refinance existing debt, to pay the Dividend as
described below and to provide for ongoing working capital and
general corporate purposes.
Please read Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Description of Our Indebtedness for a description of our
outstanding indebtedness and our senior credit facility
following this offering.
An affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC and an affiliate
of UBS Securities LLC have each committed $9 million (or
approximately 7%) of our $130 million U.S. revolver
and therefore will receive a portion of the proceeds from this
offering that we use to repay our U.S. revolver. Credit
Suisse First Boston LLC and UBS Securities LLC are underwriters
of this offering. Please read Underwriting.
DIVIDEND POLICY
Immediately after the closing of the Combination, we paid a
dividend of $5.24 per share of our common stock or an
aggregate of approximately $147 million to our
stockholders. The term Dividend refers to this
payment. Other than the Dividend, we have not declared or paid
any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate
paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable
future. We currently intend to retain all future earnings to
fund the development and growth of our business. Any future
determination relating to our dividend policy will be at the
discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our
results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements
and other factors deemed relevant by our board. We are also
currently restricted in our ability to pay dividends under our
senior credit facility.

DILUTION
If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted
to the extent of the difference between the public offering
price per share and the net tangible book value per share of the
common stock after this offering. Our unaudited consolidated net
tangible book value as of September 30, 2005 was
$(1.20) per share of common stock, after giving effect to
the Combination and the Dividend. Net tangible book value per
share represents the amount of the total tangible assets less
our total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common
stock that are outstanding. After giving effect to the sale
of shares
of common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public
offering price of
$ per
share and after the deduction of underwriting discounts and
commissions and estimated offering expenses, the as adjusted net
tangible book value at September 30, 2005 would have been
$ million
or
$ per
share. This represents an immediate increase in such net
tangible book value of
$ per
share to existing stockholders and an immediate and substantial
dilution of
$ per
share to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering.
The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
On September 12, 2005, we completed the Combination
transaction through which CES, IEM and IPS merged. To facilitate
this transaction, we borrowed funds through our bank refinancing
(the Financing), paid the Dividend to stockholders
and recorded goodwill associated with the acquisition of
minority interests (the MI Acquisition).
The following summary unaudited pro forma consolidated
statements of operations gives effect to the
MI Acquisition, the Financing and the payment of the
Dividend, assuming that the MI Acquisition, the Financing and
the payment of the Dividend were effected on January 1,
2004. From a balance sheet perspective, these transactions have
been reflected in our consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 2005 included elsewhere in this prospectus.
The historical statement of operations information for the year
ended December 31, 2004 is derived from our audited
consolidated financial statements. The historical statement of
operations information for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005 is derived from our unaudited
consolidated financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations
represent managements preliminary determination of
purchase accounting adjustments and are based on available
information and assumptions that management considers reasonable
under the circumstances. The purchase accounting estimate is
expected to be finalized within one year of the closing date of
the Combination. Consequently, the amounts reflected in the
unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations are
subject to change. Management does not expect that the
differences between the preliminary and final purchase price
allocation will have a material impact on our consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations do
not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been
obtained had the transactions described above been completed on
the indicated dates or that may be obtained in the future.
The following information should be read together with our
historical consolidated financial statements and related notes
included within this prospectus.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of
Operations

Basis of Presentation: |
On September 12, 2005, Integrated Production Services, Inc.
(IPS) acquired Complete Energy Services, Inc.
(CES) and I.E. Miller Services, Inc.
(IEM) for stock. We refer to this transaction as the
Combination. The Combination was accounted for using
the continuity of interest method as described in note 1 of
the audited consolidated financial statements. Upon closing the
Combination, IPS changed its name to Complete Production
Services, Inc.
The accompanying pro forma consolidated statements of operations
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 and the
year ended December 31, 2004 have been prepared by
management in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for inclusion in a registration
statement on Form S-1.
These pro forma consolidated statements of operations are not
necessarily indicative of the results that would have actually
occurred if the events reflected herein had been in effect on
the dates indicated or of the results that may occur in the
future.
These pro forma consolidated statements of operations are based
on our historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial
statements, and the pro forma adjustments and assumptions
outlined below. Accordingly, these pro forma consolidated
statements of operations should be read in conjunction with our
audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements
presented elsewhere in this prospectus.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the pro forma
consolidated statements of operations are those disclosed in our
audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2004.
CES is treated as the accounting acquirer of the minority
interests as a result of the Combination. The purchase method of
accounting was used to reflect the acquisition of the minority
interests in IPS and IEM as at September 12, 2005. The
purchase price was based on a fair value of the shares owned by
the minority interests estimated by a financial advisor engaged
in connection with the Combination. The financial advisor was
not engaged to, and did not, determine the actual value of such
shares. Under this accounting method, the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities
allocable to the minority interests acquired has been reflected
as goodwill. The estimated fair values of the assets and
liabilities are preliminary and subject to change. The unaudited
pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2004 and the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005 have been adjusted for the effects of
the purchase accounting, as described below.

December 31, 2004 and the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, respectively.

EBITDA consists of net income (loss) before interest expense,
taxes, depreciation and amortization and minority interest. See
Non-GAAP Financial Measures. EBITDA is included in
this prospectus because our management considers it an important
supplemental measure of our performance and believes that it is
frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other
interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our
industry, some of which present EBITDA when reporting their
results. We regularly evaluate our performance as compared to
other companies in our industry that have different financing
and capital structures and/or tax rates by using EBITDA. In
addition, we use EBITDA in evaluating acquisition targets.
Management also believes that EBITDA is a useful tool for
measuring our ability to meet our future debt service, capital
expenditures and working capital requirements, and EBITDA is
commonly used by us and our investors to measure our ability to
service indebtedness. EBITDA is not a substitute for the GAAP
measures of earnings or of cash flow and is not necessarily a
measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. In addition, it
should be noted that companies calculate EBITDA differently and,
therefore, EBITDA has material limitations as a performance
measure because it excludes interest expense, taxes,
depreciation and amortization and minority interest. The
following table reconciles EBITDA with our net income (loss). |
|
|
(3) |
Acquisitions, net of cash required, consists only of the cash
component of acquisitions. It does not include common stock and
notes issued for acquisitions, nor does it include other
non-cash assets issued for acquisitions. |

MANAGEMENTS 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
related notes included within this prospectus. This discussion
contains forward-looking statements based on our current
expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about us
and the oil and gas industry. These forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties that may be outside of our
control. Our actual results could differ materially from those
indicated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are
not limited to: market prices for oil and gas, the level of oil
and gas drilling, economic and competitive conditions, capital
expenditures, regulatory changes and other uncertainties, as
well as those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this
prospectus, particularly in Risk Factors and
Forward-Looking Statements. In light of these risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events
discussed below may not occur. Except to the extent required by
law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any
forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes
available or other events occur in the future.
Overview
We provide specialized services and products focused on helping
oil and gas companies develop hydrocarbon reserves, reduce costs
and enhance production. We focus on basins within North America
that we believe have attractive long-term potential for growth,
and we deliver targeted, value-added services and products
required by our customers within each specific basin. We believe
our range of services and products positions us to meet many
needs of our customers at the wellsite, from drilling and
completion through production and eventual abandonment. We
manage our operations from regional field service facilities
located throughout the U.S. Rocky Mountain region, Texas,
Oklahoma, Louisiana, western Canada and Mexico.
On September 12, 2005, we completed the Combination (see
Business The Combination) of Complete
Energy Services, Inc. (CES), Integrated Production
Services, Inc. (IPS) and I.E. Miller, Inc.
(IEM). SCF-IV, L.P. (SCF) held a
majority interest in each of CES, IPS and IEM prior to the
Combination. Therefore, we accounted for the Combination using
the continuity of interests method (see note 1 of the
accompanying audited consolidated financial statements). The
consolidated financial statements and the discussions herein,
include the operating results of CES, IPS and IEM from the date
that each became controlled by SCF (November 7, 2003,
May 22, 2001 and August 26, 2004, respectively).
We operate in three business segments:
|
|
|
|
|
Completion and Production Services. Our completion and
production services segment includes: (1) intervention
services, which require the use of specialized equipment, such
as coiled tubing units, pressure pumping units, nitrogen units,
well service rigs and snubbing units, to perform various
wellbore services, (2) downhole and wellsite services, such
as wireline, production optimization, production testing and
rental and fishing services, and (3) fluid handling
services that are used to move, store and dispose of fluids that
are involved in the development and production of oil and gas
reservoirs. |
|
|
|
Drilling Services. Through our drilling services segment,
we provide land drilling, specialized rig logistics and site
preparation for oil and gas exploration and production companies. |
|
|
|
Product Sales. Through our product sales segment, we sell
oil and gas field equipment, including completion, flow control
and artificial lift equipment, as well as tubular goods. |
Substantially all of the service and rental revenue we earn is
based upon a charge for a relatively short period of time (an
hour, a day, a week) for the actual period of time the service
or rental is provided to our customer. By contracting services
on a short-term basis, we are exposed to the risks of a rapid
reduction in market prices and utilization and volatility in our
revenues. Product sales are recorded when
33
the actual sale occurs and title or ownership passes to the
customer and the product is shipped or delivered to the customer.
Our customers include large multi-national and independent oil
and gas producers, as well as smaller independent producers and
the major land-based drilling contractors in North America (see
Business Customers). The primary factor
influencing demand for our services and products is the level of
drilling and workover activity of our customers, which in turn,
depends on current and anticipated future oil and gas prices,
production depletion rates and the resultant levels of cash
flows generated and allocated by our customers to their drilling
and workover budgets. As a result, demand for our services and
products is cyclical, substantially depends on activity levels
in the North American oil and gas industry and is highly
sensitive to current and expected oil and natural gas prices.
The following tables summarize average North American drilling
and well service rig activity, as measured by Baker Hughes
Incorporated (BHI), and historical commodity prices

We consider the number of drilling and well service rig counts
to be an indication of spending by our customers in the oil and
gas industry for exploration and development of new and existing
hydrocarbon reserves. These spending levels are a primary driver
of our business, and we believe that our customers
34
tend to invest more in these activities when oil and gas prices
are at higher levels or are increasing. We evaluate the
utilization of our assets as a measure of operating performance.
This utilization can be impacted by these and other external and
internal factors. See Risk Factors.
We generally charge for our services on a dayrate basis.
Depending on the specific service, a dayrate may include one or
more of these components: (1) a set-up charge, (2) an
hourly service rate based on equipment and labor, (3) an
equipment rental charge, (4) a consumables charge, and
(5) a mileage and fuel charge. We generally determine the
rates charged through a competitive process on a job-by-job
basis. Typically, work is performed on a call out
basis, whereby the customer requests services on a job-specific
basis, but does not guarantee work levels beyond the specific
job bid. For contract drilling services, fees are charged based
on standard dayrates or, to a lesser extent, as negotiated by
footage or through turnkey contracts. Product sales are
generated through our supply stores and through wholesale
distributors, using a purchase order process and a
pre-determined price book.
Outlook
Our growth strategy includes a focus on internal growth in our
current basins by adding additional like kind equipment,
expanding service and product offerings and, to a lesser extent,
by increasing equipment utilization. In addition, we identify
new basins in which to replicate this approach. We also augment
our internal growth through strategic acquisitions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Internal Capital Investment. Our internal expansion
activities generally consist of adding equipment and qualified
personnel in locations where we have established a presence. We
expect to grow our operations in each of these locations by
expanding services to current customers, attracting new
customers and hiring local personnel with local basin-level
expertise and leadership recognition. Depending on customer
demand, we will consider adding equipment to further increase
the capacity of services currently being provided and/or add
equipment to expand the services we provide. We invested
$64.8 million in equipment additions over the three-year
period ended December 31, 2004, which included
$46.4 million for the completion and production services
segment, $14.5 million for the drilling services segment
and $3.9 million for the product sales segment. We invested
an additional $84.9 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, of which $52.2 million related to
the completion and production services segment,
$29.3 million related to the drilling services segment,
$1.5 million related to the product sales segment and
$1.9 million related to general corporate operations. |
|
|
|
|
|
External Growth. We use strategic acquisitions as an
integral part of our growth strategy. We consider acquisitions
that will add to our service offerings in a current operating
area or that will expand our geographical footprint into a
targeted basin. We have completed several acquisitions in recent
years. These acquisitions affect our operating performance
period to period. Accordingly, comparisons of revenue and
operating results are not necessarily comparable and should not
be relied upon as indications of future performance. We have
invested an aggregate of $336.9 million in acquisitions
over the three-year period ended December 31, 2004 and an
additional aggregate of $47.0 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2005. |
|
Significant Acquisitions
|
|
|
|
|
Integrated Production Services Ltd. On July 3, 2002,
we acquired Integrated Production Services Ltd., a western
Canada-based integrated well service company providing wireline,
production testing and production optimization services in
western Canada. This acquisition was completed through a series
of transactions, in which we paid $29.5 million in cash in
July 2002 and an additional $20.0 million in cash in
October 2002. This acquisition was an important addition to our
completion and production services segment, as it provided a
platform to expand our business into the Canadian oilfield
services market. We recorded $28.7 million of goodwill
related to this acquisition. |
|
|
|
BSI. On November 7, 2003, we acquired BSI Holdings
Management, LLC and BSI Holdings, L.P. and related parties
(BSI) for $50.1 million in cash, and issued
common stock totaling |
35
|
|
|
|
|
$8.5 million. This acquisition provided us with a base of
business in the Barnett Shale region of north Texas. BSI is an
integrated provider of drilling, completion and production
services in the oil and gas industry and sells various products
used in the production of oil and gas. We recorded
$14.4 million of goodwill related to this acquisition. |
|
|
|
I.E. Miller. On August 31, 2004, we acquired all the
outstanding membership interests of I.E. Miller of Eunice
(Texas) No. 2, L.L.C. and certain related entities
(I.E. Miller) for $13.6 million in cash and
issued common stock totaling $12.5 million. This
acquisition was an important addition to our drilling services
business, as I.E. Miller specializes in rig logistics. We
recorded $8.5 million of goodwill associated with this
acquisition. |
|
|
|
Hyland Enterprises, Inc. On September 3, 2004, we
acquired Hyland Enterprises, Inc., a Wyoming-based
fluid-handling and oilfield equipment rental company, for
$17.7 million in cash, the issuance of common stock
totaling $6.6 million and certain additional acquisition
costs totaling $1.2 million. This acquisition expanded our
completion and production services segment in the
U.S. Rocky Mountain region. We recorded $5.5 million
of goodwill related to this acquisition. |
|
|
|
Hamm Co. On October 14, 2004, we acquired Hamm and
Phillips Service Company, Inc. and certain other entities
(Hamm Co.), an Oklahoma-based fluid-handling,
well-servicing and oilfield equipment rental company, for
$48.1 million in cash, the issuance of common stock
totaling $37.0 million and certain additional acquisition
costs totaling $2.8 million. This acquisition expanded our
completion and production services segment into the
U.S. Mid-Continent region and provided additional heavy
equipment hauling capability for the drilling services segment.
We recorded $33.8 million of goodwill related to this
acquisition. |
|
|
|
|
Parchman Energy Group, Inc. On February 11, 2005, we
acquired Parchman Energy Group, Inc. (Parchman) for
$9.8 million in cash, the issuance of common stock totaling
$19.1 million, the issuance of a subordinated note totaling
$5.0 million and the potential issuance of
500,000 shares of our common stock based upon certain
operating results. Parchman performs intervention services and
downhole services including coiled tubing, production testing
and wireline services, and operates from locations in Texas,
Louisiana and Mexico. We recorded $22.0 million of goodwill
related to this acquisition. |
|
|
|
|
|
Big Mac. On November 1, 2005, we acquired all of the
outstanding equity interests of the Big Mac group of companies
(Big Mac Transports, LLC, Big Mac Tank Trucks, LLC and Fugo
Services, LLC) for $40.8 million in cash. The Big Mac group
of companies (Big Mac) is based in McAlester,
Oklahoma, and provides fluid handling services primarily to
customers in eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Big
Macs principal assets consist of rolling stock and frac
tanks. The purchase price, which is subject to a post-closing
adjustment for actual working capital and reimbursable capital
expenditures as of the closing date, has not yet been finalized.
Based on preliminary analysis, we expect to record between
$20 million and $25 million of goodwill in connection
with this acquisition. We will include the operating results of
Big Mac in the completion and production services business
segment from the date of acquisition. We believe that this
acquisition provides a platform to enter the eastern Oklahoma
market and new Fayetteville Shale play in Arkansas. |
|
In addition, we completed several other smaller acquisitions
during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
and during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 each of
which has contributed to the expansion of our business into new
geographic regions or enhanced our service and product offerings.
We have accounted for these acquisitions using the purchase
method of accounting, whereby the purchase price is allocated to
the fair value of net assets acquired, including intangibles and
property, plant and equipment at depreciated replacement costs
with the excess to goodwill, with the exception of the merger of
Integrated Production Services Ltd., and another predecessor
company in 2002, which was accounted for using the continuity of
interest method of accounting, a treatment similar to a pooling
of
36
interests. Results of operations related to each of the acquired
companies have been included in our combined operations as of
the date of acquisition.
Marketing Environment
We operate in a highly competitive industry. Our competition
includes many large and small oilfield service companies. As
such, we price our services and products to remain competitive
in the markets in which we operate, adjusting our rates to
reflect current market conditions as necessary. We examine the
rate of utilization of our equipment as one measure of our
ability to compete in the current market environment.
Seasonality
We generally experience a decline in sales for our Canadian
operations during the second quarter of each year due to
seasonality, as weather conditions make oil and gas operations
in this region difficult during this period. Our Canadian
operations accounted for approximately 15% of total revenues
during 2004.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in
conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and provide a
basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets
and liabilities that are not readily available through open
market quotes. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed
periodically, and actual results may differ from those estimates
under different assumptions or conditions. We must use our
judgment related to uncertainties in order to make these
estimates and assumptions.
In the selection of our critical accounting policies, the
objective is to properly reflect our financial position and
results of operations for each reporting period in a consistent
manner that can be understood by the reader of our financial
statements. Our accounting policies and procedures are explained
in note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial
statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus. We have
identified the following as the most critical accounting
policies which may have a significant effect on our reported
financial results.
|
|
|
|
|
Continuity of Interests Accounting. We applied the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 141. Business
Combinations to account for the formation of Complete.
SFAS No. 141 permits us to account for the combination
of several predecessor companies using a method similar to a
pooling of interests if each is controlled by a common
stockholder. In connection with the Combination, we paid a
dividend to our stockholders of $5.24 per share and
adjusted the number of shares subject to, and exercise price of,
outstanding stock options and restricted shares in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation No. 44. Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 25. On September 12, 2005, we completed the
transaction, pursuant to which CES and IEM stockholders
exchanged all of their common stock for common stock of IPS. CES
stockholders received 19.704 shares of IPS for each share
of CES, and IEM stockholders received 19.410 shares of IPS
for each share of IEM. In connection with the Combination, IPS
changed its name to Complete Production Services, Inc. We
acquired the interests of the minority stockholders in these
predecessor companies as of the date of the consummation and
accounted for these transactions using the purchase method of
accounting, resulting in goodwill of $38.4 million, which
represented the excess of the purchase price over the carrying
value of the net assets acquired. |
|
|
|
Revenue Recognition. We recognize service revenue as
services are performed and when realized or earned. Revenue is
deemed to be realized or earned when we determine that the
following |
37
|
|
|
|
|
|
criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been
rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and
(4) collectibility is reasonably assured. These services
are generally provided over a relatively short period of time
pursuant to short-term contracts at pre-determined day-rate
fees, or on a day-to-day basis. Revenue and costs related to
drilling contracts are recognized as work progresses. Progress
is measured as revenue is recognized based upon day rate
charges. For certain contracts, we may receive lump-sum payments
from our customers related to the mobilization of rigs and other
drilling equipment. Under these arrangements, we defer revenues
and the related cost of services and recognize them over the
term of the drilling contract. Costs incurred to relocate rigs
and other drilling equipment to areas in which a contract has
not been secured are expensed as incurred. Revenues associated
with product sales are recorded when product title is
transferred to the customer. |
|
|
|
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We evaluate potential
impairment of long-lived assets and intangibles, excluding
goodwill and other intangible assets without defined services
lives, when indicators of impairment are present, as defined in
SFAS No. 144. If such indicators are present, we
project the fair value of the assets by estimating the
undiscounted future cash in-flows to be derived from the
long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives,
as well as any salvage value. Then, we compare this fair value
estimate to the carrying value of the assets and determine
whether the assets are deemed to be impaired. For goodwill and
other intangible assets without defined service lives, we apply
the provisions of SFAS No. 142, which requires an
annual impairment test, whereby we estimate the fair value of
the asset by discounting future cash flows at our projected cost
of capital rate. If the fair value estimate is less than the
carrying value of the asset, an additional test is required
whereby we apply a purchase price analysis consistent with that
described in SFAS No. 141. If impairment is still
indicated, we would record an impairment loss in the current
reporting period for the amount by which the carrying value of
the intangible asset exceeds its projected fair value. Our
industry is highly cyclical and the estimate of future cash
flows requires the use of assumptions and our judgment. Periods
of prolonged down cycles in the industry could have a
significant impact on the carrying value of these assets and may
result in impairment charges. |
|
|
|
Stock Options. We have issued stock-based compensation to
certain employees, officers and directors in the form of stock
options. We account for these stock options by applying APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, which does not require us to recognize
compensation expense related to these employee stock options
when the exercise price of the option is at least equal to the
market value of the stock on the date of grant. Accordingly, we
have not recognized compensation expense related to our stock
options issued. We have, however, included potential common
shares associated with our stock option awards in the
calculation of diluted shares outstanding in order to determine
diluted earnings per share. We are not required to account for
our stock-based compensation plans using the fair value
recognition provision of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Accounting
for these stock options using the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123 would negatively impact our
financial position and results of operations, as it requires
that the fair value of stock options issued be estimated using
pricing models, which require the application of highly
subjective assumptions that have an inherent degree of
uncertainty, and require us to expense over the vesting period
of the related options. In December 2004, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which
revises SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB Opinion
No. 25. SFAS No. 123R will require us to measure
the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award
of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the
award, with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 123R becomes
effective for us as of January 1, 2006. We are currently
evaluating the impact that this statement will have on our
financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We
expect to incur expenses related to our stock options for each
reporting period subsequent to our adoption of
SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of 2006. |

Allowance for Bad Debts and Inventory Obsolescence. We
record trade accounts receivable at billed amounts, less an
allowance for bad debts. Inventory is recorded at cost, less an
allowance for obsolescence. To estimate these allowances,
management reviews the underlying details of these assets as
well as known trends in the marketplace, and applies historical
factors as a basis for recording these allowances. If market
conditions are less favorable than those projected by
management, or if our historical experience is materially
different from future experience, additional allowances may be
required. |
|
|
|
Property, Plant and Equipment. We record property, plant
and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major
betterments to existing assets are capitalized, while repairs
and maintenance costs that do not extend the service lives of
our equipment are expensed. We determine the useful lives of our
depreciable assets based upon historical experience and the
judgment of our operating personnel. We generally depreciate the
historical cost of assets, less an estimate of the applicable
salvage value, on the straight-line basis over the applicable
useful lives, except office furniture and computers, which are
depreciated using the declining balance method. Upon disposition
or retirement of an asset, we record a gain or loss if the
proceeds from the transaction differ from the net book value of
the asset at the time of the disposition or retirement. If our
depreciation estimates are not correct, we may record a
disproportionate amount of gains or losses upon disposition of
these assets. We believe our estimates of useful lives are
materially correct. |
|
|
|
|
Deferred Income Taxes. Our income tax expense includes
income taxes related to the United States, Canada and other
foreign countries, including local, state and provincial income
taxes. We account for tax ramifications using
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Under SFAS No. 109, we record deferred income tax
assets and liabilities based upon temporary differences between
the carrying amount and tax basis of our assets and liabilities
and measure tax expense using enacted tax rates and laws that
will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
the period of the change. Furthermore, SFAS No. 109
requires us to record a valuation allowance for any net deferred
income tax assets which we believe are likely to not be used
through future operations. As of September 30, 2005, we had
recorded a total valuation allowance of $0.7 million
related to certain deferred tax assets in Canada. If our
estimates and assumptions related to our deferred tax position
change in the future, we may be required to record additional
valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets and our
effective tax rate may increase, which could result in a
material adverse effect on our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. As of December 31, 2004, no
deferred U.S. income taxes have been provided on the
approximately $7.3 million of undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries in which we intend to indefinitely
reinvest. Upon distribution of these earnings in the form of
dividends or otherwise, we may be subject to U.S. income
taxes and foreign withholding taxes. |

The following table describes estimates, assumptions and methods
regarding critical accounting policies used to prepare our
consolidated financial statements. We consider an estimate to be
critical if it is subjective and if changes in the estimate
using different assumptions would result in a material impact on
our financial position or results of operations:
|
|
|
|
|
Description |
|
Estimates/Assumptions Used |
|
Variability in Accounting |
|
|
|
|
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
We recognize revenue when realizable and earned as services are
performed or as risk of ownership and physical possession passes
to the buyer. We defer unearned revenue until earned. Any
reimbursements of mobilization charges are amortized over the
contract involved. |
|
There is a risk that we may not record revenue in the proper
period. |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
|
|
We evaluate the recoverability of assets periodically, but at
least annually for goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite lives, by reviewing operational performance and
expected cash flows. Our management estimates future cash flows
for this purpose and for intangible assets, discounts these cash
flows at an applicable rate. |
|
There is a risk that managements estimates of future
performance may not approximate actual performance or that rates
used for discounting cash flows are not consistent with the
actual discount rates. Our assets could be overstated if
impairment losses are not identified timely. |
Allowance for Bad Debts and Obsolete Inventory
|
|
We estimate the recoverability of receivables and inventory on
an individual basis based upon historical experience and
managements judgement. |
|
There is a risk that management may not detect uncollectible
accounts or unsalvageable inventory in the correct accounting
period. |
Property, Plant and Equipment
|
|
Our management estimates useful lives of depreciable equipment
and salvage values. The depreciation method used is generally
the straight-line method, except for furniture and office
equipment which is depreciated on an accelerated basis. |
|
GAAP permits various depreciation methods to recognize the use
of assets. Use of a different depreciation method or different
depreciable lives could result in materially different results.
The estimated useful lives are consistent with industry
averages. There is a risk that the assets useful life used
for our depreciation calculation will not approximate the actual
useful life of the asset. |

|
Estimates/Assumptions Used |
|
Variability in Accounting |
|
|
|
|
|
Valuation Allowance for Income Taxes
|
|
We apply the provisions of SFAS No. 109 to account for
income taxes. Differences between depreciation methods used for
financial reporting purposes compared to tax purposes as well as
other items, including loss carry forwards and valuation
allowances against deferred tax assets, require
managements judgment related to the realizability of
deferred tax accounts. |
|
There is a risk that estimates related to the use of loss carry
forwards and the realizability of deferred tax accounts may be
incorrect, and that the result could materially impact our
financial position and results of operations. In addition,
future changes in tax laws could result in additional valuation
allowances. |
Stock Options
|
|
We apply the provisions of APB No. 25 to account for stock
options and estimate compensation expense that would be required
to be recognized under SFAS No. 123 for pro forma
footnote disclosures. The determination of the fair value of
stock options requires subjective estimates of variables used in
a pricing model, including stock volatility, dividend rate,
risk-free interest rate and expected term of options. |
|
GAAP permits the use of various models to determine the fair
value of stock options and the variables used for the model are
highly subjective. The use of different assumptions or a
different model may have a material impact on our financial
disclosures. |

NM denotes not meaningful.
Corporate includes amounts related to corporate
personnel costs and other general expenses.
EBITDA consists of net income (loss) before interest
expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and minority
interest. EBITDA is a non-cash measure of performance. We use
EBITDA as the primary internal management measure for evaluating
performance and allocating additional resources. See the
discussion of EBITDA at note 2 to Selected
Consolidated Financial Data.
Our revenue and EBITDA results for the indicated periods
generally increased due to the contribution of companies
acquired and an increase in oilfield activity in North America
as a result of higher commodity prices throughout the applicable
periods.
For a reconciliation of EBITDA, please see Selected
Consolidated Financial Data Reconciliation of
EBITDA.
Below is a more detailed discussion of our operating results by
segment for these periods.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to the
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005
increased by 169%, or $329.8 million, to
$525.2 million from $195.4 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004. This increase by segment was as
follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Completion and Production Services. Segment revenue
increased $238.5 million and resulted primarily from:
(1) the acquisition of Hyland Enterprises, Inc. in
September 2004, which contributed $44.4 million in 2005;
(2) the acquisition of Hamm Co. in October 2004, which
contributed $57.9 million; (3) the acquisition of
Parchman in February 2005, which contributed $54.8 million;
(4) several other smaller acquisitions in late 2004, which
contributed revenues for a full nine-month period in 2005; and
(5) an incremental increase in revenues earned as a result
of additional capital investment in the well servicing, rental
and fluid-handling businesses, as well as an improved pricing
environment for our services and products. |
|
|
|
|
|
Drilling Services. Segment revenue increased
$65.2 million, primarily related to an increase associated
with acquisitions of $45.2 million, substantially
contributed by the acquisition of IEM in September 2004. In
addition, the segment benefited from increased prices for our
services and increased oilfield activity, which provided
incremental revenues of $20.0 million, achieved in part |
|
42
|
|
|
|
|
through additional investment in drilling rigs and drilling
logistics equipment for operations located in the Barnett Shale
region of north Texas. |
|
|
|
|
Product Sales. Segment revenue increased
$26.1 million, fueled by an incremental increase in supply
store sales of $14.5 million, a $8.9 million
incremental increase in sales of surface production equipment in
Canada, improved sales in other international locations and an
increase in the sale of flow control products. These increased
product sales reflect the overall improved market conditions. |
|
|
|
|
Service and Product Expenses |
Service and product expenses include labor costs associated with
the execution and support of our services, materials used in the
performance of those services and other costs directly related
to the support and maintenance of equipment. These expenses
increased 154%, or $203.7 million, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005, to $336.3 million from
$132.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2004. As a percentage of revenues, service and product expenses
were 64% for the first nine months of 2005 compared to 68% for
the respective period in 2004. The decline in service and
product expenses as a percentage of revenue reflected a
favorable mix of services and products and improved prices, as
more revenue was earned in 2005 from higher margin basins and
related services in the United States, and increasing customer
demand for our services. By segment, service and product
expenses as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004 were 63% and 65%, respectively,
for the completion and production services segment; 57% and 70%,
respectively, for the drilling services segment; and 76% and
71%, respectively, for the product sales segment.
|
|
|
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses |
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily
of salaries and other related expenses for our administrative,
finance, information technology and human resource functions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 162%, or
$46.7 million, for the nine months ended September 30,
2005, to $75.5 million from $28.8 million during the
same period in 2004. This increase was primarily due to
acquisitions, which provided additional headcount and general
expenses. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and
administrative expense was 14% and 15% for the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
|
|
|
Depreciation and Amortization |
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 166%, or
$20.5 million, to $32.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005, from $12.4 million during
the same period in 2004. The increase in depreciation and
amortization expense was the result of equipment and intangible
assets acquired through capital expenditures and purchase
acquisitions. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and
amortization expense was 6% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004.
Interest expense was $15.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005, compared to $4.5 million for
the respective period in 2004. The increase in interest expense
was attributable to an increase in the average amount of debt
outstanding as a result of acquisitions and capital expenditures
completed in 2004 and the first nine months of 2005. The
weighted-average interest rate outstanding has remained
relatively consistent at 6.7% and 6.0% at September 30,
2005 and 2004, respectively.
Tax expense is comprised of three components: capital and
franchise taxes, current income taxes and deferred income taxes.
The capital and franchise tax component is generally based on
our capital base and does not correlate to pretax income. The
current and deferred taxes added together provide an indication
of an effective rate of income tax.
43
Tax expense was 38.5% and 38.3% of pretax income for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.
Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to the Year Ended
December 31, 2003
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by
211%, or $217.5 million, to $320.7 million from
$103.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.
This increase by segment was as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Completion and Production Services. Segment revenue
increased $129.9 million and resulted primarily from:
(1) the acquisition of BSI in late 2003, which contributed
$40.2 million of incremental revenues in 2004, of which
$20.9 million was derived from a full-years operation
in 2004 and $16.1 million was derived from investment in
capital equipment; (2) the acquisition of eleven smaller
companies throughout 2004 which contributed to 2004 revenue
totals but did not contribute to operating results in 2003; and
(3) a general increase in the use of our services
attributable to more favorable oilfield activity levels
associated with rising commodity prices. |
|
|
|
Drilling Services. Segment revenue increased
$41.8 million. Of this increase, $18.9 million was
provided through acquisitions, and more specifically, the
acquisition of BSI in late 2003, which contributed
$17.7 million of incremental revenues in 2004, and the Hamm
Co. acquisition completed in late 2004, which provided an
additional $1.2 million of drilling revenues. The remaining
revenue increase in 2004 relative to 2003 was due to additional
investment in drilling rigs for operations located in the
Barnett Shale region of north Texas. |
|
|
|
Product Sales. Segment revenue increased
$45.8 million, of which $31.2 million was derived from
the product sales component of BSIs acquisition and a
general increase in product sales from existing operations as a
result of improved market conditions in the oil and gas
industry, including higher international sales and, in
particular, sales of surface production equipment in Canada, and
increased sales of flow control equipment. |
|
|
|
Service and Product Expenses |
Service and product expenses increased by 196%, or
$143.0 million, for the year ended December 31, 2004,
to $216.2 million from $73.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003. As a percentage of revenues,
service and product expenses were 67% in 2004 compared to 71% in
2003. The decline in service and product expenses as a
percentage of revenue reflected a favorable mix of products and
strong prices, as more revenue was earned in 2004 from higher
margin basins and related services in the United States, and
increasing customer demand for oilfield service providers
services. By segment, service and product expenses as a
percentage of revenues for the years ended December 31,
2004 and 2003 were 65% and 70%, respectively, for the completion
and production services segment; 70% and 70%, respectively, for
the drilling services segment; and 72% and 73%, respectively,
for the product sales segment. Overall declines in service and
product expense as a percentage of revenues for the completion
and production services and product sales segments yielded
better operating margins.
|
|
|
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses |
Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended
December 31, 2004 increased by 178%, or $29.5 million,
to $46.1 million from $16.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to
additional headcount and general expenses added as a result of
acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expense as a
percentage of revenues was 14% in 2004 as compared to 16% in
2003.
44
|
|
|
Depreciation and Amortization |
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 183%, or
$14.0 million, to $21.6 million, for the year ended
December 31, 2004 compared to $7.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003. We increased our property,
plant and equipment through acquisitions and capital
expenditures throughout the two years ended December 31,
2004, as gross book value increased to $268.8 million at
December 31, 2004 compared to $109.1 million at
December 31, 2003. This higher depreciable base resulted in
an increase in depreciation expense during these years. In
addition, we acquired certain intangible assets that were
amortized in 2004 after the date of acquisition. As a percentage
of revenue, depreciation and amortization was 7% in 2004 and in
2003.
Interest expense was $7.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004 compared to $2.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in interest
expense was consistent with increased levels of bank debt used
to finance acquisitions and capital expenditures. We did not
experience any significant changes in interest rates for the
years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.
Tax expense was 36.8% and 46.6% of pretax income for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These rates
reflected the mix of tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we
operated. In particular, in 2003 there was a Large
Corporations Tax and Capital Tax of approximately
$0.3 million that was payable under Canadian tax law.
Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to the Year Ended
December 31, 2002
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased by
154%, or $62.7 million, to $103.3 million from
$40.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2002.
This increase by segment was as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Completion and Production Services. Segment revenue
increased $34.9 million and resulted primarily from:
(1) the acquisition of Integrated Production Services Ltd.
in July 2002, which contributed incremental revenues of
$22.5 million in 2003; (2) the acquisition of BSI in
late-2003, which contributed $3.2 million of revenue
included in the 2003 results; and (3) a general increase in
demand by our customers for our wireline services in the
U.S. Gulf Coast region and higher Canadian activity levels. |
|
|
|
Drilling Services. Segment revenue was $2.7 million
in 2003. Prior to 2003, we did not provide drilling services. We
began offering these services with the acquisition of BSI in
late 2003. |
|
|
|
Product Sales. Segment revenue increased
$25.1 million, of which $20.2 million represented an
incremental increase in product sales due to the acquisition of
Integrated Production Services Ltd. in July 2002, the
acquisition of BSI in November 2003, and the acquisition of
Canadian-based Ess-Ell Tools, a provider of flow control
products, in March 2003. |
|
|
|
Service and Product Expenses |
Service and product expenses increased by 156%, or
$44.6 million, for the year ended December 31, 2003,
to $73.1 million from $28.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002. This increase was consistent with an
increase in revenues of 154% for the respective periods. As a
percentage of revenues, service and product expenses were 71%
and 70% for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. By segment, service and product expenses as a
percentage of revenues for the years ended December 31,
2003 and 2002 were 70% and 70%, respectively, for the completion
and production services segment; and 73% and 70%, respectively,
for the product sales segment. The drilling services segment
45
began contributing to operations in 2003, but had no operations
in 2002. Service and product expenses as percentage of revenues
for the drilling services segment in 2003 were 70%. Improved
margins reflected an overall increase in oilfield activity in
2003 compared to 2002.
|
|
|
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses |
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 114%, or
$8.8 million, for the year ended December 31, 2003, to
$16.6 million from $7.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002. As a percentage of revenue, selling,
general and administrative expense was 16% and 19% for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. This
decline in selling, general and administrative expense as a
percentage of revenues reflected efficiencies achieved in the
centralization of certain administrative functions and a slower
growth rate for headcount relative to revenues.
|
|
|
Depreciation and Amortization |
Depreciation and amortization increased to $7.6 million for
the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to
$4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002,
reflecting an increase in the base cost of property, plant and
equipment as well as intangible assets in 2003, compared to 2002
through acquisitions and capital expenditures. As a percentage
of revenue, depreciation and amortization declined from 10% in
2002 to 7% in 2003. This decline in depreciation as a percentage
of revenue reflected improved equipment utilization, as we were
able to more effectively deploy our assets to customer locations
on a timely basis.
Interest expense was $2.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003 and $1.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002. The increase in interest expense was
consistent with increased levels of bank debt used to finance
acquisitions and capital expenditures. We did not experience any
significant changes in interest rates between years.
Tax expense was 46.6% for the year ended December 31, 2003.
In 2003, there was a Large Corporations Tax and Capital
Tax of approximately $0.3 million that was payable under
Canadian tax law. In 2002, we had an income tax recovery as a
result of an operating loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity needs are to fund capital expenditures,
such as expanding our coiled tubing, wireline and production
testing fleets, building new drilling rigs, increasing and
replacing rental tool and well service rigs and snubbing units,
funding new product development and funding general working
capital needs. In addition, we need capital to fund strategic
business acquisitions. Our primary sources of funds have
historically been cash flow from operations, proceeds from
borrowings under bank credit facilities and the issuance of
equity securities, primarily associated with acquisitions. Upon
completion of this offering, we anticipate that we will rely on
cash generated from operations, borrowings under our revolving
credit facility, future debt offerings and future public equity
to satisfy our liquidity needs. We believe that funds from these
sources should be sufficient to meet both our short-term working
capital requirements and our long-term capital requirements. Our
ability to fund planned capital expenditures and to make
acquisitions will depend upon our future operating performance,
and more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt
financing, which will be affected by prevailing economic
conditions in our industry, and general financial, business and
other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased
$33.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
This increase reflected a $27.8 million increase in net
income and a $5.2 million increase in non-cash items,
including $20.5 million related to depreciation, offset by
a $24.0 million increase in working capital. In general,
our gross receipts increased during 2005 as demand for our
services grew, resulting in more billable hours and more
favorable billing rates, while we expanded our current business
and entered new markets through acquisitions and capital
investment. The increase in billings resulted in higher revenues
and net income, and depreciation expense increased as we began
to depreciate new equipment that we purchased. The increase in
working capital resulted primarily from higher accounts
receivable balances associated with higher revenues. For the
years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, cash flows
from operating activities continued to trend higher on this
basis, as a result of growing our business through acquisitions
and investment in capital expenditures and general improvements
in activity levels and pricing.
Net cash provided by financing activities declined
$24.8 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
This decline reflects the use of cash generated by operating
activities to fund capital investment during the first nine
months of 2005, rather than the use of debt financing, the
primary source of funds for expansion during the first nine
months of 2004. Increases in borrowings under our new term loan
facility were offset by repayments of long-term debt outstanding
under prior facilities and the payment of a one-time dividend to
stockholders of $146.9 million. For the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, net cash provided by
financing activities increased as we borrowed under existing
credit arrangements and through seller financing to finance our
investment in capital expenditures and acquisitions. Our
long-term debt balances, including current maturities, were
$457.9 million, $201.8 million and $67.7 million
as of September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by
$0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
We acquired several companies during the first nine months of
2004 for a total use of cash of $75.1 million, but fewer
acquisitions during the first nine months of 2005 for a total
use of cash of $18.2 million. This decrease in cash used
for acquisitions was offset by an incremental increase in
capital equipment expenditures of $60.1 million for the
first nine months of 2005, compared to the respective period in
2004. Significant capital equipment expenditures in 2005
included drilling rigs, well services rigs, fluid-handling
equipment, rental equipment and coiled tubing equipment. For the
years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, cash used for
investing activities continued to increase as we invested in
long-term assets and made significant acquisitions. Significant
capital equipment expenditures in 2004 included drilling rigs,
well services rigs, fluid-handling equipment, rental equipment
and coiled tubing equipment. For 2003, capital equipment
expenditures primarily included drilling equipment and coiled
tubing equipment for operations in Texas, and for 2002, capital
equipment expenditures were primarily used for maintenance of
equipment levels and additional coiled tubing units for
operations near the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Funds used for
acquisitions totaled $139.4 million in 2004,
$54.8 million in 2003 and $27.9 million in 2002. See
Significant Acquisitions above.
We expect to expend approximately $100 million for
investment in capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions,
during the year ended December 31, 2005, of which
approximately $85.0 million had been expended through
September 30, 2005, excluding acquisitions of complementary
companies. We believe
47
that our operating cash flows and borrowing capacity will be
sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months.
In addition to making investments in capital expenditures, we
also will continue to evaluate acquisitions of complementary
companies. We are currently in the process of planning our 2006
capital expenditure budget, but based on current market
conditions, we would expect our capital expenditures, in 2006,
excluding acquisitions to be an amount at least as much as our
capital expenditure made in 2005. We evaluate each acquisition
based upon the circumstances and our financing capabilities at
that time.
On September 12, 2005, we paid a dividend of $5.24 per
share for an aggregate payment of approximately
$146.9 million to stockholders of record on that date. We
do not intend to pay dividends in the future, but rather plan to
reinvest such funds in our business. Furthermore, our current
term loan and revolving debt facility, which we entered into on
September 12, 2005, contains restrictive debt covenants
which preclude us from paying future dividends on our common
stock.

Description of Our Indebtedness |
Our credit facilities as of December 31, 2004 are described
in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements
(see notes 9 and 10 to the audited consolidated
financial statements).
On September 12, 2005, concurrently with the completion of
the Combination, we entered into a senior secured credit
facility (the Credit Agreement) with Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as U.S. Administrative Agent,
and certain other financial institutions. The Credit Agreement
provides for a $130 million U.S. revolving credit
facility that will mature in 2010, a $30 million Canadian
revolving credit facility (with Integrated Production Services,
Ltd. as the borrower thereof) that will mature in 2010 and a
$420 million Term B term loan credit facility that will
mature in 2012. Subject to certain limitations, we have the
ability to increase, decrease or reallocate the commitments
under the various aforementioned credit facilities. In addition,
certain portions of the credit facilities are available to be
borrowed in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Pounds
Sterling, Euros and other currencies approved by the lenders.
Concurrently with the completion of the Combination, we borrowed
approximately $450 million under the Credit Agreement as of
the closing of the Combination to: (i) finance the
Combination (including the payment of the Dividend) and
(ii) to repay in full indebtedness outstanding under our
previous credit agreements. Future borrowings under the
revolving credit facilities under the Credit Agreement are
available for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The revolving facilities under the Credit Agreement may be drawn
on and repaid without restriction so long as we are in
compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, including
certain financial covenants, but the term credit facility under
the Credit Agreement may not be reborrowed once repaid. We are
required to repay the principal of the term facility in
quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the original principal
amount thereof commencing December 31, 2005.
The Credit Agreement contains various prepayment provisions
including provisions requiring us to (a) make prepayments
in the amount by which the Dollar Equivalent (as defined in the
Credit Agreement) of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit
Agreement exceed the commitments thereunder as of certain dates
on which the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate U.S. revolving
oustandings and the Canadian outstandings are determined using
current exchange rates, (b) make prepayments, on each
March 31st beginning March 31, 2007, in an amount
equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) if our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) is greater than 3.0 to 1.0 as of the preceding
December 31st, (c) make prepayments in the amount by
which net condemnation or insurance proceeds in respect of
assets received during any fiscal year exceed $3,000,000 if such
proceeds are not utilized to repair or replace (or have not been
contractually committed to repair or replace) such assets within
365 days after the underlying casualty or condemnation
event; provided that, if an Event of Default (as defined in the
Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, then we are
required to make prepayments equal to 100% of all such casualty
insurance or condemnation proceeds
48
received, (d) make prepayments equal to 50% of any Debt
Incurrence Proceeds (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in
excess of $5,000,000 received during any fiscal year while
Term B outstanding borrowings exist under the Credit
Agreement, (e) make prepayments in the amount by which
Equity Issuance Proceeds (as defined in the Credit Agreement,
but excluding proceeds of equity issuances to our stockholders
as of the closing date for the Credit Agreement so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists) received during any fiscal
year exceed $50,000,000 up to a maximum prepayment of
$50,000,000 in any fiscal year, and (f) prepay (or convert
of the applicable advances into U.S. Dollars) any revolving
advances outstanding under the Credit Agreement that are
denominated in a currency that ceases to be an Agreed Currency
(as defined in the Credit Agreement).
The Credit Agreement also contains various covenants that limit
our and our subsidiaries ability to grant certain liens;
make certain loans and investments; make capital expenditures;
make distributions; make acquisitions; enter into operating
leases; enter into hedging transactions; merge or consolidate;
or engage in certain asset dispositions. Additionally, the
Credit Agreement limits our and our subsidiaries ability
to incur additional indebtedness with certain exceptions,
including purchase money indebtedness and indebtedness related
to capital leases not to exceed 10% of our Consolidated Net
Worth (as defined in the Credit Agreement), unsecured
indebtedness not to exceed $300 million, and indebtedness
qualifying as Permitted Subordinated Debt (as defined in the
Credit Agreement).
The Credit Agreement contains covenants which, among other
things, require us and our subsidiaries, on a consolidated
basis, to maintain specified ratios or conditions as follows
(with such ratios tested at the end of each fiscal quarter):
|
|
|
|
|
EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to Interest Expense
(as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 3.0
to 1.0; |
|
|
|
total debt to EBITDA of not more than 4.25 to 1.0 through
September 30, 2006, 4.00 to 1.0 from December 31,
2006 through September 30, 2007, and 3.75 to 1.0
thereafter; and |
|
|
|
total senior secured debt to EBITDA of not more than 3.75
to 1.0 through March 31, 2006, 3.5 to 1.0 from
June 30, 2006 through September 30, 2006, 3.25
to 1.0 from December 31, 2006 to September 30,
2007, 3.00 to 1.0 from December 31, 2007 through
September 30, 2008, and 2.50 to 1.0 thereafter. |
All of the obligations under the U.S. portion of Credit
Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially
all of the assets of our U.S. subsidiaries as well as a
pledge of approximately 66% of the stock of our first-tier
foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, all of the obligations under
the U.S. portion of the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by
substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries. All of the
obligations under the Canadian portions of the Credit Agreement
are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the
assets of all or certain of our subsidiaries. Additionally, all
of the obligations under the Canadian portions of the Credit
Agreement are guaranteed by us as well as all or certain of our
subsidiaries.
We have the ability to elect how interest under the Credit
Agreement will be computed. Interest under the Credit Agreement
may be determined by reference to (1) the London Interbank
Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin between 1.25%
and 2.75% per annum (with the applicable margin depending
upon our ratio of total debt to EBITDA) for revolving advances
and 2.75% for term advances (or 2.5% if our debt ratings are
upgraded by either Moodys or Standard &
Poors), or (2) the Canadian Base Rate (as defined in
the Credit Agreement), in the case of Canadian loans or the
greater of the prime rate and the federal funds rate plus 0.5%,
in the case of U.S. loans, plus an applicable margin
between 0.25% and 1.75% per annum for revolving advances
and 1.75% for term advances (or 1.5% if our debt ratings are
upgraded). Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and
at the end of applicable interest periods for LIBOR loans,
except that if the interest period for a LIBOR loan is six
months, interest will be paid at the end of each three-month
period.
49
If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the
lenders may accelerate the maturity of the obligations
outstanding under the Credit Agreement and exercise other rights
and remedies. Each of the following is an event of default:
|
|
|
|
|
failure to pay any principal when due or any interest, fees or
other amount within certain grace periods; |
|
|
|
breach of representations in the Credit Agreement or other loan
documents; |
|
|
|
failure to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants in the
Credit Agreement or other loan documents, subject, in certain
instances, to certain grace periods; |
|
|
|
default by us and any of our subsidiaries on the payment of any
other indebtedness in excess of $10.0 million, any other
event or condition shall occur or exist with respect to such
indebtedness beyond the applicable grace period if the effect of
such event or condition is to permit or cause the acceleration
of the indebtedness, or such indebtedness shall be declared due
and payable prior to its scheduled maturity; |
|
|
|
bankruptcy or insolvency events involving us or our subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
the entry of one or more adverse judgments in excess of
$10.0 million (excluding applicable insurance proceeds)
against which enforcement proceedings are brought or that are
not stayed pending appeal; and |
|
|
|
the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Credit
Agreement). |
At September 30, 2005, we had $446.1 million
outstanding under our term loan and revolving credit facilities
and an additional $5.3 million of outstanding letters of
credit, leaving approximately $137.0 million available to
be drawn under the facilities. Our weighted average interest
rate on outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2005 was
approximately 6.7%. For the years ended December 31, 2004,
2003 and 2002, our weighted average interest rates on
outstanding bank borrowings were approximately 6.1%, 6.0% and
6.0%, respectively.
On November 1, 2005, we acquired all of the outstanding
equity interests of Big Mac for $40.8 million in cash. We
used $40 million under our bank credit facility to finance
a portion of the purchase price. Big Mac provides fluid handling
services primarily to customers in eastern Oklahoma and western
Arkansas. The purchase price, which is subject to a post-closing
adjustment for actual working capital and reimbursable capital
expenditures as of the closing date, has not yet been finalized.
Based on preliminary analysis, we expect to record between
$20 million and $25 million of goodwill in connection
with this acquisition. We will include the operating results of
Big Mac in the completion and production services business
segment from the date of acquisition. We believe that this
acquisition provides a platform to enter the eastern Oklahoma
market and new Fayetteville Shale play in Arkansas.
We have entered into two separate agreements with customers of
our contract drilling operation in north Texas whereby the
customers have advanced funds to us and we have agreed to
provide drilling services in the future to these customers.
Payments received as of September 30, 2005 totaled
$7.4 million, and are included in the accompanying balance
sheet as a current liability. In connection with these
prepayments, we have constructed two drilling rigs to commit to
these customers drilling programs. One of the rigs was
completed in October 2005 at a total cost of approximately
$4.0 million and the second rig will be completed in
December 2005 at a total cost of approximately
$4.0 million. The recognition of revenue from deferred
revenue will begin once the rigs begin drilling for each
customer. The first rig commenced drilling in October 2005 for
one of the customers. It is expected that the entire portion of
deferred revenue will be earned and recognized as revenue within
the next 12 months. Revenue will only be recorded as it is
earned.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements |
We have entered into operating lease arrangements for our light
vehicle fleet, certain of our specialized equipment and for our
office and field operating locations in the normal course of
business. The terms of the facility leases range from monthly to
five years. The terms of the light vehicle leases range from
three to four years. The terms of the specialized equipment
leases range from two to six years. Annual payments pursuant to
these leases are detailed above.
We have entered into purchase agreements with the former owners
of Double Jack and MGM as described in note 2 of our
audited consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to the
Double Jack purchase agreement, we agreed to pay contingent
consideration of up to $1.2 million based on certain
operating results of Double Jack. As of September 30, 2005,
we had paid $0.5 million of this contingent consideration
to the former stockholders of Double Jack. Pursuant to the MGM
purchase agreement, we agreed to pay contingent consideration of
up to $3.4 million and 107,066 shares of our common
stock based on certain operating results of MGM. In connection
with the Combination, we have agreed to pay cash consideration
of up to $0.6 million to the former stockholders and key
employees of MGM. In addition, we have committed 11,413 shares
of our restricted stock and approximately $0.6 million to
certain former employees of Double Jack who are now our
employees. On February 11, 2005, we entered into an
agreement and plan of merger with Parchman, pursuant to which we
purchased Parchman. This agreement and plan of merger contains
provisions for the issuance of up to an additional
500,000 shares of our common stock on a contingent basis.
In connection with the Combination, we have agreed to pay cash
consideration of up to $2.6 million to the owners of these
shares. See note 20(a) of the accompanying audited
consolidated financial statements.
Other than the normal operating leases described above and the
contingent consideration that may be issued pursuant to purchase
agreements, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing
arrangements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The demand, pricing and terms for oil and gas services provided
by us are largely dependent upon the level of activity for the
U.S. and Canadian gas industry. Industry conditions are
influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control,
including, but not limited to: the supply of and demand for oil
and gas; the level of prices, and expectations about future
prices, of oil and gas; the cost of exploring for, developing,
producing and delivering oil and gas; the expected rates of
declining current production; the discovery rates of new oil and
gas reserves; available pipeline and other transportation
capacity; weather
51
conditions; domestic and worldwide economic conditions;
political instability in oil-producing countries; technical
advances affecting energy consumption; the price and
availability of alternative fuels; the ability of oil and gas
producers to raise equity capital and debt financing; and merger
and divestiture activity among oil and gas producers.
The level of activity in the U.S. and Canadian oil and gas
exploration and production industry is volatile. Expected trends
in oil and gas production activities may not continue and demand
for our services may not reflect the level of activity in the
industry. Any prolonged substantial reduction in oil and gas
prices would likely affect oil and gas production levels and
therefore affect demand for our services. A material decline in
oil and gas prices or U.S. and Canadian activity levels could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. Recently,
demand for our services has been strong and we are currently
electing to continue our past practice of committing our
equipment on a short-term or day-to-day basis rather than
entering into longer-term contracts.
As of September 30, 2005, approximately 14% of our revenues
and 13% of our total assets and liabilities were denominated in
Canadian dollars, our functional currency in Canada. As a
result, a material decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar
relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively impact our
revenues, cash flows and net income. Each one percentage point
change in the value of the Canadian dollar impacts our revenues
by approximately $0.7 million per year. We do not currently
use hedges or forward contracts to offset this risk.
Our Mexican operation uses the U.S. dollar as its
functional currency, and as a result, all transactions and
translation gains and losses are recorded currently in the
financial statements. The balance sheet amounts are translated
into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at the end of the
month and the income statement amounts are translated at the
average exchange rate for the month. We estimate that a
hypothetical 10% movement of the Mexican peso relative to the
U.S. dollar would affect net income by approximately
$0.2 million. Currently, we conduct a portion of our
business in Mexico in the local currency, the Mexican peso. The
effects of currency fluctuations on our Mexican operations are
partly mitigated because the majority of our local expenses are
also denominated in the Mexican peso.
All of our bank debt is structured under floating rate terms
and, as such, our interest expense is sensitive to fluctuations
in the prime rates in the U.S. and Canada. Based on the debt
structure in place as of September 30, 2005, a 1% increase
in interest rates would increase interest expense by
approximately $4.5 million per year and reduce operating
cash flows by approximately $2.9 million.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145,
Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64,
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical
Corrections. SFAS No. 145 provides guidance for
the classification of gains or losses on the extinguishment of
debt and accounting for certain lease modifications that have
economic effects that are similar to a sale-leaseback
transaction. SFAS No. 145 became effective on
January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 did
not have a material impact on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,
Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities, which
provides guidance related to the recognition, measurement and
reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities,
including restructuring activities previously accounted for
pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3,
Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity.
SFAS No. 146 became effective on January 1, 2003.
The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material
impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45,
Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to
Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and
107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.
Interpretation No. 45 expands the interim and annual
financial statement disclosures that a guarantor must make
related to its obligations under guarantees issued, and
clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the
52
inception of the guarantee, a liability for the fair value of
the obligation taken. The initial measurement and recognition
provisions of Interpretation No. 45 become applicable to
guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.
Application of Interpretation No. 45 did not have a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Transition and Disclosure, an amendment to FASB Statement
No. 123. SFAS No. 148 amends
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, to provide alternative methods to
transition, on a volunteer-basis, to the fair value method of
accounting for stock-based compensation, and amends disclosure
requirements under SFAS No. 123 to require prominent
disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. We
did not elect to transition to SFAS No. 123 pursuant
to SFAS No. 148.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation
No. 46. Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities. FIN No. 46 requires the consolidation
of each variable interest entity in which an enterprise absorbs
a majority of the entitys expected losses or receives a
majority of the entitys expected residual returns, or
both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial
interests in the entity. FIN No. 46 did not have a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
On January 1, 2003, we adopted SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.
SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair
value of a liability associated with an asset retirement
obligation (ARO) be recognized in the period in
which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate can be made. The
liability for the ARO is revised each subsequent period due to
the passage of time and changes in estimates. The associated
retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount
of the long-lived asset and subsequently depreciated over the
estimated useful life of the asset. The adoption of
SFAS No. 143 in 2003 did not have a material impact on
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149,
Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 provides
additional guidance to account for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and other hedging activities described in
SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 became effective
for new contract arrangements and hedging transactions entered
into after June 30, 2003, with exceptions for certain
SFAS No. 133 implementation issues begun prior to
June 15, 2003. The adoption of this policy had no material
impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.
SFAS No. 150 provides guidance on how to classify and
measure certain financial instruments that have characteristics
of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 generally
requires treatment of these instruments as liabilities,
including certain obligations that the issuer can or must settle
by issuing its own equity securities. SFAS No. 150,
which became effective for all financial instruments entered
into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise became
effective on July 1, 2003, required cumulative effect of
change in accounting principle treatment upon adoption. We
adopted SFAS No. 150 on July 1, 2003. The
adoption of this policy had no material impact on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2003, the FASB revised SFAS No. 132,
Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits (Revised
SFAS No. 132). Revised SFAS No. 132
augments employers required disclosures about pension
plans and other postretirement benefit plans, but does not
change the measurement or recognition principles required by
other statements promulgated by GAAP. Revised
SFAS No. 132 became effective for financial statements
with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The
adoption of Revised SFAS No. 132 did not have a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,
Inventory Costs. SFAS No. 151 amends the
guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43,
Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the
53
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage), and
generally requires that these amounts be expensed in the period
that the cost arises, rather than being included in the cost of
inventory, thereby requiring that the allocation of fixed
production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on
normal capacity of the production facilities.
SFAS No. 151 becomes effective for inventory costs
incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005,
but earlier application is permitted. We are currently
evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 151 on our financial
statements, but we do not expect that it will have a material
impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets.
SFAS No. 153 amends current guidance related to the
exchange on nonmonetary assets as per ABP Opinion No. 29,
Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, to
eliminate an exception that allowed exchange of similar
nonmonetary assets without determination of the fair value of
those assets, and replaced this provision with a general
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial
substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change significantly as a result of the exchange.
SFAS No. 153 becomes effective for nonmonetary asset
exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after
June 15, 2005. We do not anticipate that the adoption of
this policy will have a material impact on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment, which revises
SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB No. 25.
SFAS No. 123R will require us to measure the cost of
employee services received in exchange for an award of equity
instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award,
with limited exceptions. The fair value of the award will be
remeasured at each reporting date through the settlement date,
with changes in fair value recognized as compensation expense of
the period. Entities should continue to use an option-pricing
model, adjusted for the unique characteristics of those
instruments, to determine fair value as of the grant date of the
stock options. SFAS No. 123R was to become effective
as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting
period that begins after June 15, 2005. However, the SEC
issued an extension which allows public companies to defer
adoption of SFAS No. 123R until the beginning of their
fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. We have not
yet adopted SFAS No. 123R and are currently evaluating
the impact that this policy will have on our financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a Replacement of
APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.
SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application of
changes in accounting principle to prior periods financial
statements, rather than the use of the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle, unless impracticable. If
impracticable to determine the impact on prior periods, then the
new accounting principle should be applied to the balances of
assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest
period for which retrospective application is practicable, with
a corresponding adjustment to equity, unless impracticable for
all periods presented, in which case prospective treatment
should be applied. SFAS No. 154 applies to all
voluntary changes in accounting principle, as well as those
required by the issuance of new accounting pronouncements if no
specific transition guidance is provided. SFAS No. 154
does not change the previously issued guidance for reporting a
change in accounting estimate or correction of an error.
SFAS No. 154 becomes effective for accounting changes
and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. We do not expect this policy to have a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.

BUSINESS
Our Company
We provide specialized services and products focused on helping
oil and gas companies develop hydrocarbon reserves, reduce costs
and enhance production. We focus on basins within North America
that we believe have attractive long-term potential for growth,
and we deliver targeted, value-added services and products
required by our customers within each specific basin. We believe
our range of services and products positions us to meet many
needs of our customers at the wellsite, from drilling and
completion through production and eventual abandonment. The
following figure illustrates some of our services used during
the lifecycle of a well.
We seek to differentiate ourselves from our competitors through
our local leadership, our basin-level expertise and the
innovative application of proprietary and other technologies. We
deliver solutions to our customers that we believe lower their
costs and increase their production in a safe and
environmentally friendly manner.
We manage our operations from regional field service facilities
located throughout the U.S. Rocky Mountain region, Texas,
Oklahoma, Louisiana, western Canada and Mexico.
Our business is comprised of three segments:
Completion and Production Services. Through our
completion and production services segment, we establish,
maintain and enhance the flow of oil and gas throughout the life
of a well. This segment is divided into the following primary
service lines:
|
|
|
|
|
Intervention Services. Well intervention requires the use
of specialized equipment to perform an array of wellbore
services. Our fleet of intervention service equipment includes
coiled tubing units, pressure pumping units, nitrogen units,
well service rigs, snubbing units and a variety of support
equipment. Our intervention services provide customers with
innovative solutions to increase production of oil and gas. For
example, in the Barnett Shale region of north Texas we operate
advanced coiled tubing units that have electric-line conductors
within the units coiled tubing string. These specially
configured units can deploy perforating guns, logging tools and
plugs, without a separate electric-line unit in high inclination
and horizontal wells that are prevalent throughout
that basin. |
|
|
|
Downhole and Wellsite Services. Our downhole and wellsite
services include electric-line, slickline, production
optimization, production testing, rental and fishing services.
We also offer several proprietary services and products that we
believe create significant value for our customers. Examples of
these proprietary services and products include: (1) our
Green Flowback system, which permits the flow of gas to our
customers while performing drill-outs and flowback operations,
increasing production, accelerating time to production and
eliminating the need to flare gas, and (2) our patented
plunger lift system that, when combined with our diagnostic and
installation |
55
|
|
|
|
|
services, removes fluids from gas wells resulting in increased
production and the extension of the life of the well. |
|
|
|
Fluid Handling. We provide a variety of services to help
our customers obtain, move, store and dispose of fluids that are
involved in the development and production of their reservoirs.
Through our fleet of specialized trucks, frac tanks and other
assets, we provide fluid transportation, heating, pumping and
disposal services for our customers. |
Drilling Services. Through our drilling services segment,
we provide services and equipment that initiate or stimulate oil
and gas production by providing land drilling, specialized rig
logistics and site preparation. Through this segment, we also
provide pressure control, drill string, pipe handling and other
equipment. Our drilling rigs currently operate exclusively in
the Barnett Shale region of north Texas.
Product Sales. Through our product sales segment, we
provide a variety of equipment used by oil and gas companies
throughout the lifecycle of their wells. Our current product
offering includes completion, flow control and artificial lift
equipment as well as tubular goods. We sell products throughout
North America primarily through our supply stores and through
distributors on a wholesale basis. We also sell products through
agents in markets outside of North America.
Our Industry
Our business depends on the level of exploration, development
and production expenditures made by our customers. These
expenditures are driven by the current and expected future
prices for oil and gas, and the perceived stability and
sustainability of those prices. Our business is primarily driven
by natural gas drilling activity in North America. We believe
the following two principal economic factors will positively
affect our industry in the coming years:
|
|
|
|
|
Higher demand for natural gas in North America. We
believe that natural gas will be in high demand in North America
over the next several years because of the growing popularity of
this clean-burning fuel. According to the International Energy
Associations 2004 World Energy Outlook, natural gas demand
in North America (United States, Canada and Mexico) is projected
to grow by approximately 45% from 2002 to 2030. |
|
|
|
|
Constrained North American gas supply. Although the
demand for natural gas is projected to increase, supply is
likely to be constrained as North American natural gas basins
are becoming more mature and experiencing increased decline
rates. Even though the number of wells drilled in North America
has increased significantly in recent years, a corresponding
increase in domestic production has not occurred. As a result,
producers are required to increase drilling just to maintain
flat production. To supply the growing demand for natural gas,
the primary alternatives are to increase drilling, enhance
recovery rates or import LNG from overseas. To date minimal
increases have occurred, although many forecasts anticipate a
material increase of LNG imports. |
|
As a result of the above factors, we expect that there will
continue to be a tight supply of, and high demand for, natural
gas in North America. We believe this will continue to support
high natural gas prices and high levels of drilling activity.
56
As illustrated in the table below, 2004 marked the second
consecutive year of gas price increases and the third
consecutive year of oil price increases, with an average daily
closing Henry Hub spot price for natural gas of $5.90 per mcf
and an average daily closing WTI Cushing spot oil price of
$41.51 per bbl. Furthermore, the average price for natural gas
and the average oil price have increased from $5.50 per mcf and
$42.12 per bbl, respectively, on January 3, 2005, to $14.50
per mcf and $65.07 per bbl, respectively on September 27,
2005. In addition, as of September 27, 2005, NYMEX forward
curve prices were above $8.00 per mcf and $60.00 per bbl, for
natural gas and oil, respectively, through 2009. The number of
drilling rigs under contract in the United States and Canada has
increased from 1,181 at the beginning of 2003 to 1,981 in
August 2005, according to BHI. The number of well service
rigs has increased from 1,478 to 2,045 from the beginning of
2003 through August 2005. The table below sets forth average
daily closing prices for the WTI Cushing spot oil price and the
average daily closing prices for the Henry Hub price for natural
gas since 1999:

Higher demand for natural gas and a constrained gas supply have
resulted in higher prices and increased drilling activity. The
increase in prices and drilling activity are driving three
additional trends that we believe will benefit us:
|
|
|
Trend toward drilling and developing unconventional North
American natural gas resources. Due to the maturity of
conventional North American oil and gas reservoirs and their
accelerating production decline rates, unconventional oil and
gas resources will comprise an increasing proportion of future
North American oil and gas production. Unconventional resources
include tight sands, shales and coalbed methane. These resources
require more wells to be drilled and maintained, frequently on
tighter acreage spacing. The appropriate technology to recover
unconventional gas resources varies from region to region;
therefore, knowledge of local conditions and operating
procedures, and selection of the right technologies is key to
providing customers with appropriate solutions. |
|
|
The advent of the resource play. A resource
play is a term used to describe an accumulation of
hydrocarbons known to exist over a large area which, when
compared to a conventional play, has lower commercial
development risks and a lower average decline rate. Once
identified, resource plays have the potential to make a material
impact because of their size and low decline rates. The
application of appropriate technology and program execution are
important to obtain value from resource plays. Resource play
developments occur over long periods of time, well by well, in
large-scale developments that repeat common tasks in an
assembly-line fashion and capture economies of scale to drive
down costs. |
|
|
Increasingly complex technologies. Increasing prices and
the development of unconventional oil and gas resources are
driving the need for complex, new technologies to help increase
recovery rates, lower production costs and accelerate field
development. We believe that the increasing complexity of
technology used in the oil and gas development process coupled
with limited engineering resources will require production
companies to increase their reliance on service companies to
assist them in developing and applying these technologies. |
57
Our Business Strategy
Our goal is to build the leading oilfield services company
focused on the completion and production phases in the life of
an oil and gas well. We intend to capitalize on the emerging
trends in the North American marketplace through the execution
of a growth strategy that consists of the following components:
Expand and capitalize on local leadership and basin-level
expertise. A key component of our strategy is to build upon
our base of strong local leadership and basin-level expertise.
We have a significant presence in most of the key onshore
continental U.S. and Canadian gas plays we believe have the
potential for long-term growth. Our position in these basins
capitalizes on our strong local leadership that has accumulated
a valuable knowledge base and strong customer relationships. We
intend to leverage our existing market presence, expertise and
customer relationships to expand our business within these gas
plays. We also intend to replicate this approach in new regions
by building and acquiring new businesses that have strong
regional management with extensive local knowledge.
Develop and deploy technical and operational solutions.
We are focused on developing and deploying technical services,
equipment and expertise that lower our customers costs.
Capitalize on organic and acquisition-related growth
opportunities. We believe there are numerous opportunities
to sell new services and products to customers in our current
geographic areas and to sell our current services and products
to customers in new geographic areas. We have a proven track
record of organic growth and successful acquisitions, and we
intend to continue using capital investments and acquisitions to
strategically expand our business. We employ a rigorous
acquisition screening process and have developed comprehensive
post-acquisition integration capabilities designed to ensure
each acquisition is effectively assimilated. We use a returns
method for evaluating capital investment opportunities, and we
apply a disciplined approach to adding new equipment.
Focus on execution and performance. We have established
and intend to develop further a culture of performance and
accountability. Senior management spends a significant portion
of its time ensuring that our customers receive the highest
quality of service by focusing on the following:
|
|
|
|
|
clear business direction; |
|
|
|
thorough planning process; |
|
|
|
clearly defined targets and accountabilities; |
|
|
|
close performance monitoring; |
|
|
|
strong performance incentives for management and
employees; and |
|
|
|
effective communication. |
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe that we are well positioned to execute our strategy
and capitalize on opportunities in the North American oil and
gas market based on the following competitive strengths:
Strong local leadership and basin-level expertise. We
operate our business with a focus on each regional basin
complemented by our local reputations. We believe our local and
regional businesses, some of which have been operating for more
than 50 years, provide us with a significant advantage over
many of our competitors. Our managers, sales engineers and field
operators have extensive expertise in their local geological
basins and understand the regional challenges our customers
face. We have long-term relationships with many customers, and
most of the services and products we offer are sold or
contracted at a local level, allowing our operations personnel
to bring their expertise to bear while selling services and
products to our customers. We strive to leverage this
basin-level expertise to establish ourselves as the preferred
provider of our services in the basins in which we operate.
58
Significant presence in major North American basins. We
operate in major oil and gas producing regions of the
U.S. Rocky Mountains, Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma,
western Canada and Mexico, with concentrations in key
resource play and unconventional basins. Resource
plays are expected to become increasingly important in future
North American oil and gas production as more conventional
resources enter later stages of the exploration cycle. We
believe we have an excellent position in highly active markets
such as the Barnett Shale region of north Texas. Each of these
markets is among the most active areas for exploration and
development of onshore oil and gas. Accelerating production and
driving down development and production costs are key goals for
oil and gas operators in these areas, resulting in strong demand
for our services and products. In addition, our strong presence
in these regions allows us to build solid customer relationships
and take advantage of cross-selling opportunities.
Focus on complementary production and field development
services. Our breadth of service and product offerings well
positions us relative to our competitors. Our services encompass
the entire lifecycle of a well from drilling and completion,
through production and eventual abandonment. We deliver
complementary services and products, which we may provide in
tandem or sequentially over the life of the well. This suite of
services and products gives us the opportunity to cross-sell to
our customer base and throughout our geographic regions.
Leveraging our strong local leadership and basin-level
expertise, we are able to offer expanded services and products
to existing customers or current services and products to new
customers.
Innovative approach to technical and operational
solutions. We develop and deploy services and products that
enable our customers to increase production rates, stem
production declines and reduce the costs of drilling, completion
and production. The significant expertise we have developed in
our areas of operation offers our customers customized
operational solutions to meet their particular needs. For
example, our Canadian operation provides highly skilled
personnel and a combination of heliportable and specialized
equipment that includes wireline (electric-line and slickline)
and production testing services that can work together and be
deployed quickly and efficiently in the harsh environment of the
Northwest Territories of Canada. Our ability to develop these
technical and operational solutions is possible due to our
understanding of applicable technology, our basin-level
expertise and our close local relationships with customers.
Modern and active asset base. We have a modern and
well-maintained fleet of coiled tubing units, pressure pumping
equipment, wireline units, well service rigs, snubbing units,
fluid transports, frac tanks and other specialized equipment. We
believe our ongoing investment in our equipment allows us to
better serve the diverse and increasingly challenging needs of
our customer base. New equipment is generally less costly to
maintain and operate on an annual basis and is more efficient
for our customers. Modern equipment reduces the downtime and
associated expenditures and enables the increased utilization of
our assets. Our fleet is active with high utilization. We
believe our future expenditures will be used to capitalize on
growth opportunities within the areas we currently operate and
to build out new platforms obtained through targeted
acquisitions.
Experienced management team with proven track record.
Each member of our operating management team has over
20 years of experience in the oilfield services industry.
We believe that their considerable knowledge of and experience
in our industry enhances our ability to operate effectively
throughout industry cycles. Our management also has substantial
experience in identifying, completing and integrating
acquisitions. In addition, our management supports local
leadership by developing corporate strategy, implementing
corporate governance procedures and overseeing a company-wide
safety program.
The Combination
Prior to 2001, SCF Partners, a private equity firm that focuses
on investments in the oilfield services segment of the energy
industry, began to target investment opportunities in service
oriented companies in the North American natural gas market with
specific focus on the production phase of the exploration and
production cycle. On May 22, 2001, SCF Partners through SCF
formed Saber, a new company, in connection with its acquisition
of two companies primarily focused on completion and production
related
59
services in Louisiana. In July 2002, SCF became the controlling
stockholder of Integrated Production Services, Ltd., a
production enhancement company that, at the time, focused its
operation in Canada. In September 2002, Saber acquired this
company and changed its name to Integrated Production Services,
Inc. Subsequently, IPS began to grow organically and through
several acquisitions, with the ultimate objective of creating a
technical leader in the enhancement of natural gas production.
In November 2003, SCF formed another production services
company, CES, establishing a platform from which to grow in the
Barnett Shale region of north Texas. Subsequently, through
organic growth and several acquisitions, CES extended its
presence to the U.S. Rocky Mountain and the Mid-Continent
regions. In the summer of 2004, SCF formed IEM, which at the
time had a presence in Louisiana and Texas. During 2004, IPS and
IEM independently began to execute strategic initiatives to
establish a presence in both the Barnett Shale and
U.S. Rocky Mountain regions.
On September 12, 2005, IPS, CES and IEM were combined and
became Complete Production Services, Inc. in a transaction we
refer to as the Combination. In the Combination, CES
served as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes and IPS
served as the acquirer for tax and legal purposes. Immediately
after the Combination, SCF held approximately 70% of our
outstanding common stock, the former CES stockholders (other
than SCF) in the aggregate held approximately 18.8% of our
outstanding common stock, the former IEM stockholders (other
than SCF) in the aggregate held approximately 2.4% of our
outstanding common stock and the former IPS stockholders (other
than SCF) in the aggregate held approximately 8.4% of our
outstanding common stock.
We believe that operational and financial benefits realized
through the Combination enhance the growth potential and
establish the foundation for long-term growth for the combined
company.
Overview of Our Segments
We manage our business through three primary segments:
completion and production services, drilling services and
product sales. Within each of these segments, we perform
services and deliver products, as detailed in the table below.
However, significant regional growth opportunities remain. We
constantly monitor the North American market for
opportunities to expand our business by building our presence in
existing regions and expanding our services and products into

On November 1, 2005, we acquired all of the outstanding
equity interests of Big Mac for $40.8 million in cash. Big
Mac is based in McAlester, Oklahoma, and provides fluid handling
services primarily to customers in eastern Oklahoma and western
Arkansas. We will include the operating results of Big Mac in
the complete and production services business segment from the
date of acquisition. We
60
believe that this acquisition provides a platform to enter the
eastern Oklahoma market and new Fayetteville Shale play in
Arkansas.
|
|
|
Completion and Production Services (67% of Revenue for the
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005) |
Through our completion and production services segment, we
establish, maintain and enhance the flow of oil and gas
throughout the life of a well. This segment is divided into
intervention services, downhole and wellsite services and fluid
handling.
We use our intervention assets, which include coiled tubing
units, pressure pumping equipment, nitrogen units, well service
rigs and snubbing units to perform three major types of services
for our customers:
|
|
|
|
|
Completion Services. As newly drilled oil and gas wells
are prepared for production, our operations may include
selectively perforating the well casing to access producing
zones, stimulating and testing these zones and installing
downhole equipment. We provide intervention services and
products to assist in the performance of these services. The
completion process typically lasts from a few days to several
weeks, depending on the nature and type of the completion. Oil
and gas producers use our intervention services to complete
their wells because we have well trained employees, the
experience necessary to perform such services and a strong
record for safety and reliability. |
|
|
|
Workover Services. Producing oil and gas wells
occasionally require major repairs or modifications, called
workovers. These services include extensions of
existing wells to drain new formations either through deepening
wellbores to new zones or by drilling horizontal lateral
wellbores to improve reservoir drainage patterns. In less
extensive workovers, we provide services and products to seal
off depleted zones in existing wellbores and access previously
bypassed productive zones. Other workover services which we
provide include: major subsurface repairs, such as casing repair
or replacement; recovery of tubing and removal of foreign
objects in the wellbore; repairing downhole equipment failures;
plugging back the bottom of a well to reduce the amount of water
being produced; cleaning out and recompleting a well if
production has declined; and repairing leaks in the tubing and
casing. |
|
|
|
Maintenance Services. Maintenance services are required
throughout the life of most producing oil and gas wells to
ensure efficient and continuous operation. We provide services
that include mechanical repairs necessary to maintain production
from the well, such as repairing inoperable pumping equipment or
replacing defective tubing, and removing debris from the well.
Other services include pulling rods, tubing, pumps and other
downhole equipment out of the wellbore to identify and repair a
production problem. |
The key intervention assets we use to perform the above services
are as follows:
|
|
|
Coiled Tubing and Pressure Pumping Units |
We are one of the leading providers of coiled tubing services in
North America. As of September 30, 2005, we operated a
fleet of 32 coiled tubing units and 27 pressure
pumping units, as well as 14 nitrogen units. We use these
assets to perform a variety of wellbore applications, including
foam washing, acidizing, displacing, cementing, gravel packing,
plug drilling, fishing and jetting. Coiled tubing is a key
segment of the well service industry today, which allows
operators to continue production during service operations
without shutting down the well, reducing the risk of formation
damage. The growth in deep well and horizontal drilling has
increased the market for coiled tubing. We have developed
innovative equipment configurations to capitalize on emerging
market opportunities. For example, in the Barnett Shale region
of north Texas, we have introduced advanced coiled tubing units
that have electric-line conductors within the units coiled
tubing string. These specially configured units provide
electric-line and coiled tubing controls
61
in one fully integrated package, and allow us to deploy
perforating guns, logging tools and plugs in high inclination
wells for our customers. We provide coiled tubing and pressure
pumping services primarily in Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma,
Texas, Louisiana, Mexico and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
As of September 30, 2005, we owned and operated a fleet of
103 well service rigs, including 63 units that are
either recently constructed or have been rebuilt over the past
five years. We believe we have a leading market position in the
Barnett Shale region of north Texas and in some of the most
active regions of the U.S. Rocky Mountains. As of
September 30, 2005, we also operated 31 swabbing
units, 11 of which are highly customized hydraulic units which
we use to diagnose and remediate gas well production problems.
We provide well service rig operations in Wyoming, Colorado,
Utah, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Texas. These rigs
are used to perform a variety of completion, workover and
maintenance services, such as installations, completions,
assisting with perforating, removing defective equipment and
sidetracking wells.
As of September 30, 2005, we operated a fleet of
11 snubbing units, four of which are rig assist units.
Snubbing services use specialized hydraulic well service units
that permit an operator to repair damaged casing, production
tubing and downhole production equipment in high-pressure,
live-well environments. A snubbing unit makes it
possible to remove and replace downhole equipment while
maintaining pressure in the well. Applications for snubbing
units include live-well completions and workovers,
underground blowout control, underbalanced completions,
underbalanced drilling and the snubbing of tubing, casing or
drillpipe into or out of the wellbore. Our snubbing units
operate primarily in Texas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.
|
|
|
Downhole and Wellsite Services |
We provide an array of complementary downhole and wellsite
services that we classify into four groups: wireline services;
production optimization services; production testing services;
and rental, fishing and pressure testing services.
Wireline Services. As of September 30, 2005, we
owned and operated a fleet of 75 wireline units in North America
and provided both electric-line and slickline services. Truck
and skid mounted wireline services are used to evaluate downhole
well conditions, to initiate production from a formation by
perforating a wells casing, and to provide mechanical
services such as setting equipment in the well, or fishing lost
equipment out of a well. We provide wireline services in the
western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, Texas, Louisiana and
offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Of our fleet of 75 wireline
units, we have 41 electric-line units, 11 of which are
offshore skids, and 34 slickline units.
With our fleet of wireline equipment we provide the following
services:
|
|
|
|
|
Perforating Services. Perforating involves positioning a
perforating gun that contains explosive jet charges down the
wellbore next to a productive zone. A detonator is fired and
primer cord is ignited, which then detonates the jet charges.
The resulting explosion burns a hole through the wellbore casing
and cement and into the formation, thus allowing the formation
fluid to flow into the wellbore and be produced to the surface.
The perforating gun may be deployed in a number of ways. The gun
can be conveyed by a conventional wireline cable if the wellbore
geometry allows, it may be conveyed on coiled tubing, it may be
conveyed on conventional tubing or the gun may be
pumped-down to the correct depth in the wellbore. |
|
|
|
Logging Services. Cased hole logging requires the use of
a single or multi-conductor, braided steel cable
(electric-line), mounted on a hydraulically operated drum, and a
specialized logging truck. Electronic instruments are attached
to the end of the cable and lowered to the bottom of the well
and the line is slowly pulled out of the well transmitting
wellbore data up the cable to the surface |
62
|
|
|
|
|
where the information is processed by a surface computer system
and displayed on a paper graph in a logging format. This
information is used by customers to analyze different downhole
formation structures, to detect the presence of oil, gas and
water and to check the integrity of the casing or the cement
behind the pipe. Logs are also run to detect gas or fluid
migration between zones or to the surface. |
|
|
|
Slickline Services. Slickline services are used primarily
for well maintenance. The line used for this application is
generally a small single steel line. Typical applications of
this service would include bottom hole pressure surveys, running
temperature gradients, setting tubing plugs, opening and closing
sliding sleeves, fishing operations, plunger lift installations,
gas lift installations and other maintenance services that the
well would require during its lifecycle. |
Production Optimization Services. Our production
optimization services provide customers with technical solutions
to stem declining production that result from liquid loading,
reduced bottom-hole pressures or improper wellsite designs. We
assist in identifying candidates, designing solutions, executing
on-site and following up to ensure continued performance. We
have developed proprietary technologies that allow us to enhance
recovery for our customers and provide on-going service.
Specific services we provide include:
|
|
|
|
|
Plunger Lift Services and Products. We provide plunger
lift candidate selection, installation and maintenance services
which may incorporate the use of our patented Pacemaker Plunger
Lift System. Plunger lift systems facilitate the removal of
fluids that restrict the production of natural gas wells.
Removing fluids that accumulate in wells increases production
and in many cases slows decline rates. The proprietary design of
our Pacemaker Plunger Lift System incorporates a large bypass
area which allows it to make more trips per day and remove more
wellbore fluids, versus other plunger lift designs, in wells
with certain characteristics. |
|
|
|
Acoustic Pressure Surveys. We provide acoustic pressure
surveys which are an analytical technique that assists our
customers in determining static reservoir pressure and the
existence of near wellbore formation damage. |
|
|
|
Dynamometer Analysis. Our dynamometer analysis services
include the analysis of reciprocating rod pumping systems
(pumpjacks) to determine pump performance and provide our
customers with critical information for well performance used to
optimize the production and recovery of oil and gas. |
|
|
|
Fluid Level Analysis. We provide fluid level
analysis services which record an acoustic pulse as it travels
down the wellbore in order to determine the fluid depth. |
We offer production optimization services to customers across
the United States and in Canada. We provide production
optimization services in Canada through our 50% joint venture
with Premier Production Services Ltd.
Production Testing Services. Production testing is a
service required by exploration and production companies to
evaluate and clean out new and existing wells. We use a
proprietary technology and service approach and are a leading
independent provider in North America. We provide production
testing services throughout the western Canadian Sedimentary
Basin and also provide production testing services in Wyoming,
Utah, Colorado, Texas and Mexico. As of September 30, 2005,
we operated a total of 72 production testing units.
Production testing has the following primary applications:
|
|
|
|
|
Well clean-ups or flowbacks are done shortly after
completing or stimulating a well and are designed to remove
damaging drilling fluids, completion fluids, sand and other
debris. This clean-up prevents damage to the
permanent production facilities and flowlines, thereby improving
production. Our clean-up offering includes our Green Flowback
services, which permit the flow of gas to our customers while
performing drill- outs and flowback operations, increasing
production, accelerating time to production and eliminating the
need to flare gas; |
63
|
|
|
|
|
Exploration well testing measures how a reservoir
performs under various flow conditions. These measurements allow
reservoir and production engineers, and geologists to understand
a wells or reservoirs production capability.
Exploration testing jobs can last from a few days to several
months; and |
|
|
|
In-line production testing measures a wells flow
rates, oil, gas and water composition, pressure and temperature.
These measurements are used by engineers to identify and solve
well and reservoir problems. In-line production testing is
performed after a well has been completed and is already
producing. In-line tests can run from several hours to more than
several months. |
Rental Equipment, Fishing and Pressure Testing Services.
Oil and gas producers and drilling contractors often find it
uneconomical to maintain complete inventories of tools,
drillpipe, pressure testing equipment and other specialized
equipment and to retain the qualified personnel to operate this
equipment. We provide the following services and products:
|
|
|
|
|
Rental Equipment and Services. We rent specialized tools,
equipment and tubular goods for the drilling, completion and
workover of oil and gas wells. Items rented include pressure
control equipment, drill string equipment, pipe handling
equipment, fishing and downhole tools, and other equipment,
including stabilizers, power swivels and bottom-hole assemblies. |
|
|
|
Fishing Services. We provide highly skilled downhole
services, including fishing, milling and cutting services, which
consist of removing or otherwise eliminating fish or
junk (a piece of equipment, a tool, a part of the
drill string or debris) in a well that is causing an
obstruction. We also install whipstocks to sidetrack wells,
provide plugging and abandonment services, pipe recovery and
wireline recovery services, foam services and casing patch
installation. |
|
|
|
|
Pressure Testing Services. We provide specialized
pressure testing services which involve the use of truck mounted
equipment designed to carry small fluid volumes with high
pressure pumps and hydraulic torque equipment. This equipment is
primarily used to perform pressure tests on flow line, pressure
vessels, lubricators, well heads, casings and tubing strings.
The units are also used to assemble and disassemble BOPs for the
drilling and work over sector. We have developed specialized,
multi-service pressure testing units that enable one or two
employees to complete multiple services simultaneously. As of
September 30, 2005, we had 30 multi-service pressure
testing units that we operated in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. |
|
Oil and gas operations use and produce significant quantities of
fluids. We provide a variety of services to assist our customers
to obtain, move, store and dispose of fluids that are involved
in the development and production of their reservoirs. We
provide fluid handling services in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado,
Wyoming, North Dakota and Montana.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fluid Transpiration. As of September 30, 2005, we
operated over 600 specialized transport trucks to deliver,
transport and dispose of fluids safely and efficiently. We
transport fresh water, completion fluids, produced water,
drilling mud and other fluids to and from our customers
wellsites. Our assets include U.S. Department of
Transportation certified equipment for transportation of
hazardous waste. |

Frac Tank Rental. As of September 30, 2005, we
operated a fleet of over 1,250 frac tanks that are often used
during hydraulic fracturing operations. We use our fleet of
fluid transport assets to fill and empty these tanks and we
deliver and remove these tanks from the wellsite with our fleet
of winch trucks. |
|
|
|
|
|
Fluid Disposal. As of September 30, 2005, we owned
14 salt water disposal wells in Oklahoma and Texas and one
produced water evaporation facility in Wyoming. These facilities
are used to dispose of water from fracturing operations and from
fluids produced during the routine production |

|
|
of oil and gas. In addition, we also operated two mud disposal
facilities that are used to store and ultimately dispose of
drilling mud. |
|
|
|
Other Services. We own and operate a fleet of hot oilers
and superheaters, which are assets capable of heating high
volumes of fluids. We also sell fluids used during well
completions, such as fresh water and potassium chloride, and
drilling mud, which we move to our customers wellsites
using our fluid transportation services. |

Drilling Services (17% of Revenue for the Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2005) |
Through our drilling services segment, we deliver services that
initiate or stimulate oil and gas production by providing land
drilling, specialized rig logistics and site preparation.
Through this segment, we also provide pressure control, drill
string, pipe handling and downhole tools and equipment. Our
drilling rigs currently operate exclusively in the Barnett Shale
region of north Texas.
We provide contract drilling services to major oil companies and
independent oil and gas producers in north Texas. Contract
drilling services are primarily provided under standard day
rate, and, to a lesser extent, footage or turnkey contracts.
Drilling rigs vary in size and capability and may include
specialized equipment. As of September 30, 2005, the
majority of our drilling rig fleet of 12 drilling rigs was
equipped with mechanical power systems and had depth ratings
ranging from approximately 8,000 to 15,000 feet. We also
had two land drilling rigs under construction as of
September 30, 2005 which we expect to be operational by the
end of 2005.
We provide a variety of drilling logistic services as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drilling Rig Moving. Through our owned and operated fleet
of over 200 specialized trucks as of September 30, 2005, we
provide drilling rig mobilization services primarily in
Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Wyoming. Our
capabilities allow us to move the largest rigs in the United
States. Our operations are strategically located in regions
where approximately 50% of the land drilling rigs in the United
States are located. We believe we have a leading market position
in the Gulf Coast region of Texas and Louisiana. We believe our
highly skilled personnel position us as one of the leading rig
moving companies in the industry. |
|
|
|
|
Wellsite Preparation and Remediation. We provide
equipment and services to build and reclaim drilling wellsites
before and after the drilling operations take place. We build
roads, dig pits, clear land, move earth and provide a host of
construction services to drilling contractors and to oil and gas
producers. Our wellsite preparation and remediation services are
in Texas, Colorado and Wyoming. |
|
|
|
Product Sales (17% of Revenue for the Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2005) |
Through our product sales segment, we provide a variety of
equipment used by oil and gas companies throughout the lifecycle
of their wells. Our current product offering includes
completion, flow control and artificial lift equipment as well
as tubular goods. We sell products throughout North America
primarily through our supply stores and through distributors on
a wholesale basis. We also sell products through agents in
markets outside of North America.
We own and operate supply stores that provide products and
services to the oil and gas industry. As of September 30,
2005, we had a total of 11 supply stores and 2 sales offices in
Texas, Colorado, Louisiana and Oklahoma. We market tubular
products, drill pipe, flow control and completion equipment,
valves, fittings and other oilfield products.

|
|
|
Production Enhancement Products |
Our production enhancement products group designs, assembles and
distributes flow control, well completion and artificial lift
products primarily in North America.
|
|
|
|
|
Flow Control Products. We are a leading independent
supplier of subsurface flow control equipment to the North
American oil and gas market. Our product line includes downhole
blanking plugs, landing nipples, sliding sleeves, flapper valves
and bottom-hole chokes. Through our flow control business, we
also provide a proprietary thermo chemical metal treatment
process known as HARD
KOTEtm
that increases the useful life of downhole equipment by
providing enhanced resistance to abrasion, adhesion, erosion and
corrosion. |
|
|
|
Well Completion Products. We offer a comprehensive line
of well completion products, which include packers, tubing
anchors, plugs, retainers and other completion accessories. |
|
|
|
Artificial Lift Systems. Our line of artificial lift
system accessories is designed to optimize the performance of
rod pump and progressive cavity (PC) or screw
pump systems. We are a leader in tools designed to prevent the
counter rotation of PC pumps, particularly during high-volume
operation, and we hold eight patents in this area. Other
accessories include tubing centralizers and downhole gas
separators installed below the pump. Downhole gas separators
remove the natural gas from the reservoir fluid before it enters
the pump, thus improving pump efficiency. |
Our production enhancement products are sold throughout North
America primarily through distributors on a wholesale basis,
through our supply stores and through agents in international
markets.
Our manufacturing business produces a number of wellsite
production processing facility components. Products include
pressure vessels, separators, line heaters, dehydration units,
header packages and metering skids. Our equipment is designed to
comply with the standards of the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers National Board U stamp and the Alberta
Boilers Safety Association. Customers for our manufactured
products are predominantly gas producing companies in Canada;
however, the business does provide equipment throughout North
America and may periodically ship products into international
markets, including India and South America.
We operate an oilfield sales service and rental business based
in Singapore. This business sells new and reconditioned
equipment used in the construction and upgrade of offshore
drilling rigs; rents mud coolers, tubular handling equipment,
BOPs and other service tools; and provides machining and repair
services.
Properties
As of September 30, 2005, we own 41 offices, facilities and
yards, of which seven are in Texas, 19 are in Oklahoma, one is
in North Dakota, one is in Montana, six are in Wyoming, two are
in Colorado, three are in Louisiana, one is in Alberta, Canada,
and one is in Poza Rica, Mexico. As of September 30, 2005,
we own 14 salt water disposal wells, of which three are in
Texas and 11 are in Oklahoma. As of September 30, 2005, we
own one drilling mud disposal facility in Oklahoma and one
produced water evaporation facility in Wyoming.
In addition, as of September 30, 2005, we lease
136 offices, facilities and yards, of which 49 are in
Texas, eight are in Oklahoma, 22 are in Wyoming, 19 are in
Colorado, seven are in Louisiana, three are in Utah, 20 are in
Alberta, Canada, one is in British Columbia, Canada, three are
in Mexico and four are in Singapore.
66
Sales and Marketing
Most sales and marketing activities are performed through our
local operations in each geographical region. We believe our
local field sales personnel have an excellent understanding of
basin-specific issues and customer operating procedures and,
therefore, can effectively target marketing activities. We also
have a small corporate sales team located in Houston, Texas that
supplements our field sales efforts and focuses on large
accounts and selling technical services.
Customers
Our customers consist of large multi-national and independent
oil and gas producers, as well as smaller independent producers
and virtually all of the major land-based drilling contractors
in North America. Our top ten customers accounted for
approximately 33% of combined revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, with no one customer representing more
than 10% of revenues in this period. We believe we have a broad
customer base and wide geographic coverage of operations, which
somewhat insulates us from regional or customer specific
circumstances that might cause a significant erosion in revenue.
Operating Risk and Insurance
Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oil and
gas industry, such as accidents, blowouts, explosions, fires and
oil spills that can cause:
|
|
|
|
|
personal injury or loss of life; |
|
|
|
damage or destruction of property, equipment and the
environment; and |
|
|
|
suspension of operations. |
In addition, claims for loss of oil and gas production and
damage to formations can occur in the well services industry. If
a serious accident were to occur at a location where our
equipment and services are being used, it could result in our
being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting large claims.
Because our business involves the transportation of heavy
equipment and materials, we may also experience traffic
accidents which may result in spills, property damage and
personal injury.
Despite our efforts to maintain high safety standards, we from
time to time have suffered accidents in the past and anticipate
that we could experience accidents in the future. In addition to
the property and personal losses from these accidents, the
frequency and severity of these incidents affect our operating
costs and insurability and our relationships with customers,
employees and regulatory agencies. Any significant increase in
the frequency or severity of these incidents, or the general
level of compensation awards, could adversely affect the cost
of, or our ability to obtain, workers compensation and
other forms of insurance, and could have other material adverse
effects on our financial condition and results of operations.
Although we maintain insurance coverage of types and amounts
that we believe to be customary in the industry, we are not
fully insured against all risks, either because insurance is not
available or because of the high premium costs. We do maintain
commercial general liability, workers compensation,
business auto, excess auto liability, commercial property, rig
physical damage and contractors equipment, motor truck
cargo, umbrella liability and excess liability, non-owned
aircraft liability, directors and officers, employment practices
liability, fiduciary, commercial crime and kidnap and ransom
insurance policies. However, any insurance obtained by us may
not be adequate to cover any losses or liabilities and this
insurance may not continue to be available or available on terms
which are acceptable to us. Liabilities for which we are not
insured, or which exceed the policy limits of our applicable
insurance, could have a material adverse effect on us.
67
Competition
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. To be
successful, a company must provide services and products that
meet the specific needs of oil and gas exploration and
production companies and drilling services contractors at
competitive prices.
We provide our services and products across North America, and
we compete against different companies in each service and
product line we offer. Our competition includes many large and
small oilfield service companies, including the largest
integrated oilfield services companies.
Our major competitors for our completion and production services
segment include Schlumberger Ltd., BJ Services Company,
Halliburton Company, Weatherford International Ltd., Baker
Hughes Inc., Key Energy Services, Inc., Basic Energy Services,
Inc., Superior Energy Services, Inc., Tetra Technologies, Inc.
and a significant number of locally oriented businesses. In our
drilling services segment, our primary competitors include
Nabors Industries Ltd., Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc., Unit
Corporation and Helmerich & Payne, Grey Wolf Inc.
Our principal competitors in our product sales segment include
National Oilwell Varco, Inc., Baker Hughes Inc., Weatherford
International Ltd., Halliburton Company, Smith International,
Inc., and various smaller providers of equipment. We believe
that the principal competitive factors in the market areas that
we serve are quality of service and products, reputation for
safety and technical proficiency, availability and price. While
we must be competitive in our pricing, we believe our customers
select our services and products based on local leadership and
basin-expertise that our personnel use to deliver quality
services and products.
Government Regulation
We operate under the jurisdiction of a number of regulatory
bodies that regulate worker safety standards, the handling of
hazardous materials, the transportation of explosives, the
protection of the environment and driving standards of
operation. Regulations concerning equipment certification create
an ongoing need for regular maintenance which is incorporated
into our daily operating procedures. The oil and gas industry is
subject to environmental regulation pursuant to local, state and
federal legislation.
Among the services we provide, we operate as a motor carrier and
therefore are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department
of Transportation and by various state agencies. These
regulatory authorities exercise broad powers, governing
activities such as the authorization to engage in motor carrier
operations, and regulatory safety, financial reporting and
certain mergers, consolidations and acquisitions. There are
additional regulations specifically relating to the trucking
industry, including testing and specification of equipment and
product handling requirements. The trucking industry is subject
to possible regulatory and legislative changes that may affect
the economics of the industry by requiring changes in operating
practices or by changing the demand for common or contract
carrier services or the cost of providing truckload services.
Some of these possible changes include increasingly stringent
environmental regulations, changes in the hours of service
regulations which govern the amount of time a driver may drive
in any specific period, onboard black box recorder devices or
limits on vehicle weight and size.
Interstate motor carrier operations are subject to safety
requirements prescribed by the Department of Transportation. To
a large degree, intrastate motor carrier operations are subject
to safety regulations that mirror federal regulations. Such
matters as weight and dimension of equipment are also subject to
federal and state regulations. Department of Transportation
regulations mandate drug testing of drivers.
From time to time, various legislative proposals are introduced,
including proposals to increase federal, state, or local taxes,
including taxes on motor fuels, which may increase our costs or
adversely impact the recruitment of drivers. We cannot predict
whether, or in what form, any increase in such taxes applicable
to us will be enacted.
Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state
and local environmental laws and regulations governing the
release and/or discharge of materials into the environment or
otherwise relating
68
to environmental protection. Numerous governmental agencies
issue regulations to implement and enforce these laws, for which
compliance is often costly and difficult. The violation of these
laws and regulations may result in the denial or revocation of
permits, issuance of corrective action orders, assessment of
administrative and civil penalties, and even criminal
prosecution. We believe that we are in substantial compliance
with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Further, we
do not anticipate that compliance with existing environmental
laws and regulations will have a material effect on our
consolidated financial statements. However, it is possible that
substantial costs for compliance may be incurred in the future.
Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as the
adoption of stricter environmental laws, regulations, and
enforcement policies, could result in additional costs or
liabilities that we cannot currently quantify.
We generate wastes, including hazardous wastes, that are subject
to the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA,
and comparable state statutes. The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, or EPA, and state agencies have limited the
approved methods of disposal for some types of hazardous and
nonhazardous wastes. Some wastes handled by us in our field
service activities that currently are exempt from treatment as
hazardous wastes may in the future be designated as
hazardous wastes under RCRA or other applicable
statutes. If this were to occur, we would become subject to more
rigorous and costly operating and disposal requirements.
The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act, CERCLA or the Superfund law, and
comparable state statutes impose liability, without regard to
fault or legality of the original conduct, on classes of persons
that are considered to have contributed to the release of a
hazardous substance into the environment. Such classes of
persons include the current and past owners or operators of
sites where a hazardous substance was released, and companies
that disposed or arranged for disposal of hazardous substances
at offsite locations such as landfills. Under CERCLA, these
persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the
costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been
released into the environment and for damages to natural
resources, and it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and
other third parties to file claims for personal injury and
property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances
released into the environment. We currently own, lease, or
operate numerous properties and facilities that for many years
have been used for industrial activities, including oil and gas
production operations. Hazardous substances, wastes, or
hydrocarbons may have been released on or under the properties
owned or leased by us, or on or under other locations where such
substances have been taken for disposal. In addition, some of
these properties have been operated by third parties or by
previous owners whose treatment and disposal or release of
hazardous substances, wastes, or hydrocarbons, was not under our
control. These properties and the substances disposed or
released on them may be subject to CERCLA, RCRA and analogous
state laws. Under such laws, we could be required to remove
previously disposed substances and wastes (including substances
disposed of or released by prior owners or operators), remediate
contaminated property (including groundwater contamination,
whether from prior owners or operators or other historic
activities or spills), or perform remedial plugging or pit
closure operations to prevent future contamination. These laws
and regulations may also expose us to liability for our acts
that were in compliance with applicable laws at the time the
acts were performed.
In the course of our operations, some of our equipment may be
exposed to naturally occurring radiation associated with oil and
gas deposits, and this exposure may result in the generation of
wastes containing naturally occurring radioactive materials or
NORM. NORM wastes exhibiting trace levels of
naturally occurring radiation in excess of established state
standards are subject to special handling and disposal
requirements, and any storage vessels, piping, and work area
affected by NORM may be subject to remediation or restoration
requirements. Because many of the properties presently or
previously owned, operated, or occupied by us have been used for
oil and gas production operations for many years, it is possible
that we may incur costs or liabilities associated with elevated
levels of NORM.
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean
Water Act, and analogous state laws impose restrictions and
strict controls regarding the discharge of pollutants into state
waters or waters of the United States. The discharge of
pollutants into jurisdictional waters is prohibited unless the
discharge is permitted by the EPA or applicable state agencies.
Many of our properties and operations
69
require permits for discharges of wastewater and/or stormwater,
and we have a system for securing and maintaining these permits.
In addition, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 imposes a variety of
requirements on responsible parties related to the prevention of
oil spills and liability for damages, including natural resource
damages, resulting from such spills in waters of the United
States. A responsible party includes the owner or operator of a
facility. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act and analogous
state laws provide for administrative, civil and criminal
penalties for unauthorized discharges and, together with the Oil
Pollution Act, impose rigorous requirements for spill prevention
and response planning, as well as substantial potential
liability for the costs of removal, remediation, and damages in
connection with any unauthorized discharges.
Our underground injection operations are subject to the federal
Safe Drinking Water Act, as well as analogous state and local
laws and regulations. Under Part C of the Safe Drinking
Water Act, the EPA established the Underground Injection Control
program, which established the minimum program requirements for
state and local programs regulating underground injection
activities. The Underground Injection Control program includes
requirements for permitting, testing, monitoring, record keeping
and reporting of injection well activities, as well as a
prohibition against the migration of fluid containing any
contaminant into underground sources of drinking water. State
regulations require us to obtain a permit from the applicable
regulatory agencies to operate our underground injection wells.
We believe that we have obtained the necessary permits from
these agencies for our underground injection wells and that we
are in substantial compliance with permit conditions and state
rules. Nevertheless, these regulatory agencies have the general
authority to suspend or modify one or more of these permits if
continued operation of one of our underground injection wells is
likely to result in pollution of freshwater, substantial
violation of permit conditions or applicable rules, or leaks to
the environment. Although we monitor the injection process of
our wells, any leakage from the subsurface portions of the
injection wells could cause degradation of fresh groundwater
resources, potentially resulting in cancellation of operations
of a well, issuance of fines and penalties from governmental
agencies, incurrence of expenditures for remediation of the
affected resource and imposition of liability by third parties
for property damages and personal injuries. In addition, our
sales of residual crude oil collected as part of the saltwater
injection process could impose liability on us in the event that
the entity to which the oil was transferred fails to manage the
residual crude oil in accordance with applicable environmental
health and safety laws.
Some of our operations also result in emissions of regulated air
pollutants. The federal Clean Air Act and analogous state laws
require permits for facilities that have the potential to emit
substances into the atmosphere that could adversely affect
environmental quality. Failure to obtain a permit or to comply
with permit requirements could result in the imposition of
substantial administrative, civil and even criminal penalties.
We are also subject to the requirements of the federal
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and comparable
state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and
safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication
standard requires that information be maintained about hazardous
materials used or produced in operations and that this
information be provided to employees, state and local government
authorities and the public. We believe that our operations are
in substantial compliance with the OSHA requirements, including
general industry standards, record keeping requirements, and
monitoring of occupational exposure to regulated substances.
Employees
As of September 30, 2005, we had 3,889 employees. Of
our total employees, 3,157 were in the United States,
502 were in Canada, 174 were in Mexico and
56 were in Singapore and other locations in the Far East.
We are a party to certain collective bargaining agreements in
Mexico. Other than these agreements in Mexico, we are not a
party to any collective bargaining agreements, and we consider
our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.
70
Legal Proceedings
We operate in a dangerous business. We are party to various
pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative
proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our
commercial operations, products, employees and other matters,
including warranty and product liability claims and occasional
claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials,
on the job injuries and fatalities as a result of our products
or operations. Many of the claims filed against us relate to
motor vehicle accidents that result in the loss of life or
serious bodily injury. Some of these claims relate to matters
occurring prior to our acquisition of businesses. In certain
cases, we are entitled to indemnification from the sellers of
businesses.
Although we cannot know the outcome of pending legal proceedings
and the effect such outcomes may have on us, we believe that any
ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such
proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered
by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

the directors of each class will expire at the annual meetings
of stockholders to be held in 2006 (Class I), 2007

composed of a minimum of three members and that it be composed
of a majority of independent directors within 90 days of
the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part and that it be composed solely of

we intend to appoint an additional director to our audit
committee prior to the completion of the offering and to take
any further action needed to comply with Rule 10A-3 under
the Exchange Act and the listing requirements of the NYSE
following completion of the offering. Following this offering,
one member of the audit committee will be designated as the

None of the named executive officers exercised options during
the year ended December 31, 2004. Because there was no
public market for our common stock as of December 31, 2004,
amounts described in the following table under the heading
Value of Unexercised In-the-Money Options at
December 31, 2004 are determined by multiplying the
number of shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of the
option by the difference between the assumed initial public
offering price of
$ per
share and the per share option exercise price.

Stock Incentive Plans
|
|
|
2001 Stock Incentive Plan |
In 2001 we adopted a stock incentive plan, which we refer to as
the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan, for our and our affiliates
officers, directors, consultants and employees. The 2001 Stock
Incentive Plan amended and restated in its entirety our
predecessors 2001 Stock Incentive Plan. Under the 2001
Stock Incentive Plan, eligible participants may receive
incentive and nonqualified options to purchase shares of our
common stock and/or an award of shares of our restricted stock.
Under the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan, options to purchase up to
1,905,364 shares of our common stock may be granted to
eligible participants. The terms of each incentive and
non-qualified option will be determined by a committee of, and
established by, our board of directors (the
Committee). The Committee will determine the
exercise price for both incentive and non-qualified options.
Generally, these shares vest equally over a three-year period,
have a five-year life and may be exercised only if the holder is
one of our employees. As of September 30, 2005, under the
2001 Stock Incentive Plan, employees have been granted options
for approximately 853,064 shares of our common stock.
Our restricted stock that is granted under the 2001 Stock
Incentive Plan is subject to certain restrictions on disposition
by the holder and an obligation of the holder to forfeit and
surrender the shares of our restricted stock to us under certain
circumstances. These forfeiture restrictions are determined by
the Committee and may lapse upon the occurrence of the
following: (i) the attainment of certain performance
targets established by the Committee, (ii) the
holders continued employment with our company or an
affiliate of our company or continued service as a consultant to
or director of our company for a specified period of time,
(iii) any event or the satisfaction of any condition
specified by the Committee or (iv) a combination of the
foregoing. As of September 30, 2005, 40,326 shares of
our restricted stock have been granted under the 2001 Stock
Incentive Plan.
|
|
|
2003 Stock Incentive Plan |
In connection with the Combination, we assumed CESs 2003
Stock Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the 2003 Stock
Incentive Plan, for certain officers, directors, consultants and
employees. Under the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended,
eligible participants received incentive and nonqualified
options to purchase shares of CES common stock and/or an award
of CES restricted stock, which options and shares were
converted, respectively, to options for, and shares of, our
common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Combination. Generally, these shares vest equally over a
three-year or four-year period, have a five-year life and may be
exercised only if the holder is one of our employees, directors
or
79
consultants. As of September 30, 2005, under the 2003 Stock
Incentive Plan, employees have been granted options for
approximately 968,355 shares of our common stock. All
options (other than options granted to Mr. Winkler) expire
on the earlier of (i) 5 years from the date of grant;
(ii) 90 days from the employees termination
date; or (iii) one year from the employees
termination due to death or disability.
The restricted stock granted under the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan
is subject to certain restrictions on disposition by the holder
and an obligation of the holder to forfeit and surrender the
shares of the restricted stock to us under certain
circumstances. These forfeiture restrictions were determined by
the CES board of directors and may lapse upon the occurrence of
the following: (i) the attainment of certain performance
targets established by the CES board of directors, (ii) the
holders continued employment with our company or an
affiliate of our company or continued service as a consultant to
or director of our company for a specified period of time,
(iii) any event or the satisfaction of any condition
specified by the CES board of directors or (iv) a
combination of the foregoing. As of September 30, 2005,
72,116 shares of our restricted stock had been granted
under the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan.
The 2003 Stock Incentive Plan shall continue to govern the
existing options and restricted stock granted thereunder;
however, no future awards will be made under the 2003 Stock
Incentive Plan.
|
|
|
2004 Stock Incentive Plan |
In connection with the Combination, we assumed IEMs 2004
Stock Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan, for certain officers, directors, consultants and
employees. Under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, eligible
participants received incentive and nonqualified options to
purchase shares of IEM common stock and/or an award of IEM
restricted stock, which options and shares were converted,
respectively, to options for, and shares of, our common stock
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Combination.
Generally, these shares vest equally over a three-year or
four-year period, have a five-year life and may be exercised
only if the holder is one of our employees, directors or
consultants. As of September 30, 2005, under the 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan, directors of IEM had been granted options for
33,877 shares of our common stock. No options were granted
to employees of IEM. All options (other than options granted to
Mr. Winkler) expire on the earlier of (i) 5 years
from the date of grant; (ii) 90 days from the
employees termination date; or (iii) one year from
the employees termination due to death or disability.
The restricted stock granted under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan
is subject to certain restrictions on disposition by the holder
and an obligation of the holder to forfeit and surrender the
shares of the restricted stock to us under certain
circumstances. These forfeiture restrictions were determined by
the IEM board of directors and may lapse upon the occurrence of
the following: (i) the attainment of certain performance
targets established by the IEM board of directors, (ii) the
holders continued employment with our company or an
affiliate of our company or continued service as a consultant to
or director of our company for a specified period of time,
(iii) any event or the satisfaction of any condition
specified by the IEM board of directors or (iv) a
combination of the foregoing. As of September 30, 2005,
131,387 shares of our restricted stock were granted under
the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.
The 2004 Stock Incentive Plan will continue to govern the
existing options and restricted stock granted thereunder;
however, no future awards will be made under the 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan.
|
|
|
Parchman Stock Incentive Plan |
In connection with our acquisition of Parchman Energy Group,
Inc. in February 2005, we assumed Parchmans 2003
Restricted Stock Plan, which we refer to as the Parchman Plan,
for certain of our employees. Under the Parchman Plan, eligible
participants received an award of our restricted stock subject
to the restrictions described below. The restricted stock
granted under the Parchman Plan is subject to certain
restrictions on disposition by the holder and an obligation of
the holder to forfeit and surrender the shares of restricted
stock to us under certain circumstances. These forfeiture
restrictions were determined by the former compensation
committee of Parchman and may lapse upon the occurrence of the
following: (i) the attainment of certain performance
targets established by the former compensation
80
committee of Parchman, (ii) the holders continued
employment with our company or an affiliate of our company or
continued service as a consultant to our company for a specified
period of time, or (iii) a combination of the foregoing. As
of September 30, 309,251 shares of our restricted
stock had been granted under the Parchman Plan.
The Parchman Plan will continue to govern the existing
restricted stock granted thereunder; however, no future awards
will be granted under the Parchman Plan.

For a discussion of our stockholder agreement, please see
Description of Our Capital Stock Stockholders
Agreement.
87
DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares
of common stock, par value $.01 per share, and
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$.01 per share. As of September 30, 2005, we had
27,810,283 shares of common stock outstanding.
Common Stock
As of September 30, 2005, there were 134 holders of
our common stock. Holders of our common stock are entitled to
one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by our
stockholders. Because holders of our common stock do not have
cumulative voting rights, the holders of a majority of the
shares of our common stock can elect all of the members of the
board of directors standing for election, subject to the rights,
powers and preferences of any outstanding series of preferred
stock. Subject to the rights and preferences of any preferred
stock that we may issue in the future, the holders of our common
stock are entitled to receive:
|
|
|
|
|
dividends as may be declared by our board of directors; and |
|
|
|
all of our assets available for distribution to holders of our
common stock in liquidation, pro rata, based on the number of
shares held. |
There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to
our common stock. All outstanding shares of our common stock are
fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
Subject to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation
and legal limitations, our board of directors has the authority,
without further vote or action by our stockholders:
|
|
|
|
|
to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one
or more series; and |
|
|
|
to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of
our preferred stock, including provisions related to dividends,
conversion, voting, redemption, liquidation and the number of
shares constituting the series or the designation of that
series, which may be superior to those of our common stock. |
There were no shares of preferred stock outstanding as of
November 10, 2005, and we have no present plans to issue
any preferred stock.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock by our board of
directors as described above may adversely affect the rights of
the holders of our common stock. For example, preferred stock
may rank prior to our common stock as to dividend rights,
liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting
rights and may be convertible into shares of our common stock.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage
third-party bids for our common stock or may otherwise adversely
affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, the
preferred stock may enable our board of directors to make more
difficult or to discourage attempts to obtain control of our
company through a hostile tender offer, proxy contest, merger or
otherwise, or to make changes in our management.
Anti-Takeover Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain several
provisions that could delay or make more difficult the
acquisition of us through a hostile tender offer, open market
purchases, proxy contest, merger or other takeover attempt that
a stockholder might consider in his or her best interest,
including those attempts that might result in a premium over the
market price of our common stock.
|
|
|
Written Consent of Stockholders |
Our certificate of incorporation provides that, on and after the
date when SCF ceases to own a majority of the shares of our
outstanding securities entitled to vote in the election of
directors, any action by our stockholders must be taken at an
annual or special meeting of stockholders, and stockholders
cannot act by written consent. Until that date, any action
required or permitted to be taken by our
88
stockholders may be taken at a duly called meeting of
stockholders or by the written consent of stockholders owning
the minimum number of shares required to approve the action.
|
|
|
Special Meetings of Stockholders |
Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred
stock, our bylaws provide that special meetings of the
stockholders may only be called by the chairman of the board of
directors or by the resolution of our board of directors
approved by a majority of the total number of authorized
directors. No business other than that stated in our notice may
be transacted at any special meeting.
|
|
|
Advance Notice Procedure for Director Nominations and
Stockholder Proposals |
Our bylaws provide that adequate notice must be given to
nominate candidates for election as directors or to make
proposals for consideration at annual meetings of our
stockholders. For nominations or other business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the
stockholder must have delivered a written notice to the
secretary of our company at our principal executive offices not
earlier than the close of business on the 120th calendar
day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding
years annual meeting nor later than the close of business
on the 90th calendar day prior to the first anniversary of
the date of the preceding years annual meeting; provided,
however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting
is more than 30 calendar days before or more than
70 calendar days after such anniversary date, notice by the
stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than
the close of business on the 120th calendar day prior to
such annual meeting nor later than the close of business on the
later of the 90th calendar day prior to such annual meeting
or the 10th calendar day following the calendar day on
which public announcement, if any, of the date of such meeting
is first made by us.
Nominations of persons for election to our board of directors
may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which
directors are to be elected pursuant to our notice of meeting
(i) by or at the direction of our board of directors, or
(ii) by any stockholder of our company who is a stockholder
of record at the time of the giving of notice of the meeting,
who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the
notice procedures set forth in our bylaws. In the event we call
a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing
one or more directors to our board of directors, any stockholder
may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for
election to such position(s) if the stockholder provides written
notice to the secretary of our company at our principal
executive offices not earlier than the close of business on the
120th calendar day prior to such special meeting, nor later
than the close of business on the later of the
90th calendar day prior to such special meeting or the
10th calendar day following the day on which public
announcement, if any, is first made of the date of the special
meeting and of the nominees proposed by our board of directors
to be elected at such meeting.
These procedures may operate to limit the ability of
stockholders to bring business before a stockholders meeting,
including the nomination of directors and the consideration of
any transaction that could result in a change in control and
that may result in a premium to our stockholders.
|
|
|
Classified Board of Directors |
Our certificate of incorporation divides our directors into
three classes serving staggered three-year terms. As a result,
stockholders will elect approximately one-third of the board of
directors each year. This provision, when coupled with the
provision of our restated certificate of incorporation
authorizing only the board of directors to fill vacant or newly
created directorships or increase the size of the board of
directors and the provision providing that directors may only be
removed for cause, may deter a stockholder from gaining control
of our board of directors by removing incumbent directors or
increasing the number of directorships and simultaneously
filling the vacancies or newly created directorships with its
own nominees.
Renouncement of Business Opportunities
SCF has investments in other oilfield service companies that may
compete with us, and SCF and its affiliates, other than us, may
invest in other such companies in the future. We refer to SCF,
its other affiliates
89
and its portfolio companies as the SCF group. Our certificate of
incorporation provides that, so long as we have a director or
officer that is affiliated with SCF (an
SCF Nominee), we renounce any interest or
expectancy in any business opportunity in which any member of
the SCF group participates or desires or seeks to participate in
and that involves any aspect of the energy equipment or services
business or industry, other than:
|
|
|
|
|
any business opportunity that is brought to the attention of an
SCF Nominee solely in such persons capacity as a director
or officer of our company and with respect to which no other
member of the SCF group independently receives notice or
otherwise identifies such opportunity; or |
|
|
|
any business opportunity that is identified by the SCF group
solely through the disclosure of information by or on behalf of
us. |
Thus, for example, members of the SCF group may pursue
opportunities in the oilfield services industry for their own
account or present such opportunities to SCFs other
portfolio companies. Our certificate of incorporation provides
that the SCF group has no obligation to offer such opportunities
to us, even if the failure to provide such opportunity would
have a competitive impact on us. We are not prohibited from
pursuing any business opportunity with respect to which we have
renounced any interest.
Amendment of the Bylaws
Our board of directors may amend or repeal the bylaws and adopt
new bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total
number of authorized directors. The holders of common stock may
amend or repeal the bylaws and adopt new bylaws by a majority
vote at any annual meeting or special meeting for which notice
of the proposed amendment, repeal or adoption was contained in
the notice for such special meeting.
Limitation of Liability of Directors
Our directors will not be personally liable to us or our
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director, except, if required by Delaware law, for
liability:
|
|
|
|
|
for any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; |
|
|
|
for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
|
|
|
for unlawful payment of a dividend or unlawful stock purchases
or redemptions; or |
|
|
|
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. |
As a result, neither we nor our stockholders have the right,
through stockholders derivative suits on our behalf, to
recover monetary damages against a director for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from
grossly negligent behavior, except in the situations described
above.
Delaware Takeover Statute
Under the terms of our certificate of incorporation and as
permitted under Delaware law, we have elected not to be subject
to Delawares anti-takeover law in order to give our
significant stockholders, including SCF, greater flexibility in
transferring their shares of our common stock. This law provides
that specified persons who, together with affiliates and
associates, own, or within three years did own, 15% or more of
the outstanding voting stock of a corporation could not engage
in specified business combinations with the corporation for a
period of three years after the date on which the person became
an interested stockholder. The law defines the term
business combination to encompass a wide variety of
transactions with or caused by an interested stockholder,
including mergers, asset sales and other transactions in which
the interested stockholder receives or could receive a benefit
on other than a pro rata basis with other stockholders. With the
approval of our stockholders, we may amend our certificate of
incorporation in the future to become governed by the
anti-takeover law. This provision would then have an
anti-takeover effect for transactions not approved in advance by
our board of directors, including discouraging takeover attempts
that might result in a premium over the market price for the
shares of our common stock. By
90
opting out of the Delaware anti-takeover law, a transferee of
SCF could pursue a takeover transaction that was not approved by
our board of directors.
Stockholders Agreement
Complete and the existing stockholders are parties to that
certain Stockholders Agreement dated September 12, 2005
(the Stockholders Agreement).
As long as SCF owns 20% or more of our outstanding common stock,
we have agreed to take all action within our power required to
cause the board of directors at all times to include at least
two members designated by SCF and so long as SCF owns 5% or
more, at least one member designated by SCF.
|
|
|
Demand Registration Rights |
Under the Stockholders Agreement, from and after 180 days
following this offering, SCF has the right to demand on five
occasions, and Non-SCF stockholders holding at least 50% of our
unregistered common stock not held by SCF have the right to
demand on one occasion, that we register all or any portion of
their registrable securities so long as the registrable
securities proposed to be sold on an individual registration
statement have an aggregate gross offering price of at least
$20 million, unless we otherwise agree to a lesser amount
(a Demand Registration). Holders of registrable
securities may not require us to effect more than one Demand
Registration in any six-month period. After such time that we
become eligible to use Form S-3 (or comparable form) for
the registration under the Securities Act of any of its
securities, any demand request by SCF with a reasonably
anticipated aggregate offering price of $100 million may be
for a shelf registration statement pursuant to
Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
|
|
|
Piggyback Registration Rights |
If we propose to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act relating to an offering of our common stock,
subject to certain exceptions, upon the written request of
holders of registrable securities, we will use our commercially
reasonable efforts to include in such registration, and any
related underwriting, all of the registrable securities included
in such requests, subject to customary cutback provisions.
|
|
|
Registration Procedures and Expenses |
The Stockholders Agreement contains customary procedures
relating to underwritten offerings and the filing of
registration statements. We have agreed to pay all registration
expenses incurred in connection with any registration, including
all registration, qualification and filings fees, printing
expenses, accounting fees, escrow fees, legal fees of our
company, reasonable fees of one counsel to the holders of
registrable securities, blue sky fees and expenses and the
expense of any special audits incident to or required by any
such registration. All underwriting discounts and selling
commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to securities
registered by holders and fees of counsel to any such holder
(other than as described above) will be payable by holders of
registrable securities.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is Wells
Fargo Shareowner Services.
Listing
We have applied to include our shares of common stock for
listing on the NYSE under the symbol

91
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our
common stock. The market price of our common stock could drop
due to sales of a large number of shares of our common stock or
the perception that these sales could occur. These factors also
could make it more difficult to raise funds through future
offerings of common stock.
After this
offering, shares
of common stock will be outstanding. Of these shares, the shares
sold in this offering, including any shares sold pursuant to the
underwriters over-allotment option, will be freely
tradable without restriction under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (Securities Act), except for any shares
purchased by one of our affiliates as defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All of our other
outstanding shares of common stock will be restricted
securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or subject to lock-up arrangements.
The restricted securities generally may not be sold unless they
are registered under the Securities Act or are sold under an
exemption from registration, such as the exemption provided by
Rule 144 under the Securities Act. After this offering, the
holders of shares of our common stock prior to this offering
will have rights, subject to some limited conditions, to demand
that we include their shares in registration statements that we
file on their behalf, on our behalf or on behalf of other
stockholders. By exercising their registration rights and
selling a large number of shares, these holders could cause the
price of our common stock to decline. Furthermore, if we file a
registration statement to offer additional shares of our common
stock and have to include shares held by those holders, it could
impair our ability to raise needed capital by depressing the
price at which we could sell our common stock. For a description
of the registration rights held by our stockholders, please see
Description of Our Capital Stock Stockholders
Agreement.
Our officers and directors and the selling stockholders will
enter into lock-up agreements described in
Underwriting.
As restrictions on resale end, the market price of our common
stock could drop significantly if the holders of these
restricted shares sell them, or are perceived by the market as
intending to sell them.
As soon as practicable after this offering, we intend to file
one or more registration statements with the SEC on
Form S-8 providing for the registration of shares of our
common stock issued or reserved for issuance under our stock
incentive plans. Subject to the exercise of unexercised options
or the expiration or waiver of vesting conditions for restricted
stock and the expiration of lock-ups that we and our
stockholders have entered into, shares registered under these
registration statements on Form S-8 will be available for
resale immediately in the public market without restriction.
Rule 144
In general, beginning 90 days after the date of this
prospectus, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any
person (or persons whose shares are aggregated), including an
affiliate, who has beneficially owned shares for a period of at
least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month
period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
|
|
|
|
|
1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock; and |
|
|
|
the average weekly trading volume in the common stock on the
NYSE during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the
date on which the notice of the sale on Form 144 is filed
with the SEC. |
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to other provisions
relating to notice and manner of sale and the availability of
current public information about us.
Rule 144(k)
Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been
one of our affiliates at any time during the 90 days
preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares
proposed to be sold for at least two years,
92
including the holding period of any prior owner other than an
affiliate, is entitled to sell the shares without
complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume
limitation or notice provision of Rule 144.
Rule 701
In general, under Rule 701 under the Securities Act as
currently in effect, any of our employees, consultants or
advisors who purchased or received shares from us in connection
with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written
agreement in a transaction that was completed in reliance on
Rule 701 and complied with the requirements of
Rule 701 is eligible to resell such shares beginning
90 days after the date of this prospectus in reliance on
Rule 144, but without compliance with most of its
restrictions, including the holding period, contained in
Rule 144.
93
PRINCIPAL U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES
TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK
The following is a general discussion of the principal
U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of the
ownership and disposition of our common stock applicable to
Non-U.S. Holders. For purposes of this discussion, a
Non-U.S. Holder is any beneficial owner of our
common stock that is not:
|
|
|
|
|
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; |
|
|
|
a corporation (or other entity taxed as a corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in
the United States or under the laws of the United States, any
state thereof or the District of Columbia; |
|
|
|
an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income
taxation regardless of its source; or |
|
|
|
a trust whose administration is subject to the primary
supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more
U.S. persons who have the authority to control all
substantial decisions of the trust, or a trust in existence on
August 20, 1996 that has elected to continue to be treated
as a United States person (as defined for
U.S. federal income tax purposes). |
In the case of shares of our common stock held by a partnership
(or any other entity treated as a partnership for
U.S. federal income tax purposes), the tax treatment of a
partner generally will depend upon the status of the partner as
a Non-U.S. Holder and the activities of the partnership. An
individual may be treated as a resident of the United States for
federal income tax purposes with respect to a calendar year if
the individual is present in the United States on at least
31 days in that calendar year and at least 183 days
during that calendar year and the two preceding calendar years
(counting, for this purpose, each day present in the first
preceding year as 1/3 of a day and each day present in the
second preceding year as 1/6 of a day). Residents are taxed for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as if they were
U.S. citizens.
This discussion is based on current provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated under the
Internal Revenue Code, judicial opinions, published positions of
the Internal Revenue Service, and other applicable authorities,
all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive
effect. This discussion does not address all aspects of
U.S. federal income and estate taxation or any aspects of
state, local, or non-U.S. taxation, nor does it consider
any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to particular
Non-U.S. Holders that may be subject to special treatment
under the U.S. federal tax laws, such as insurance
companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions,
brokers, dealers in securities, regulated investment companies,
real estate investment trusts, and certain former citizens or
former long-term residents of the United States. This discussion
does not address special tax rules that may apply to a
Non-U.S. Holder that holds our common stock as part of a
straddle, hedge, conversion
transaction, synthetic security or other
integrated investment, and assumes that a Non-U.S. Holder
holds our common stock as a capital asset.
Each Non-U.S Holder is urged to consult a tax advisor
regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and
non-U.S. income and other tax considerations of acquiring,
holding and disposing of shares of our common stock.
Dividends
Distributions on our common stock generally will constitute
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the
extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and
profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax
principles. In general, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder
of our common stock that are not effectively connected with the
conduct of a trade or business in the United States will be
subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the
gross amount, or a lower rate prescribed by an applicable income
tax treaty. In order to claim a reduced rate of withholding tax
under an applicable income tax treaty, a Non-U.S. Holder
must certify its eligibility by filing Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN. In the case of common stock held by a foreign
partnership, the certification generally is
94
applied to the partners of the partnership, unless the
partnership agrees to become a withholding foreign
partnership and to provide eligibility information to the
Internal Revenue Service.
Dividends that are effectively connected with a
Non-U.S. Holders conduct of a trade or business in
the United States (and, if an income tax treaty applies, that
are attributable to the Non-U.S. Holders permanent
establishment in the United States) are taxed on a net income
basis at the regular graduated rates generally in the manner
applicable to U.S. persons. Such dividends are not subject
to U.S. withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder files
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI. A
Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject
to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30%, or such lower rate as
may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, on the
repatriation from the United States of its earnings and profits
effectively connected with its U.S. trade or business.
A Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock that is eligible for
a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax under a tax treaty
may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an
appropriate claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service.
Gain on Disposition of Common Stock
In general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to
U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale,
exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of shares
of our common stock so long as:
|
|
|
|
|
the gain is not effectively connected with the conduct of a
trade or business in the United States by the
Non-U.S. Holder (or, if an income tax treaty applies, is
not attributable to the Non-U.S. Holders permanent
establishment in the United States); |
|
|
|
if the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual, the
Non-U.S. Holder either is not present in the United States
for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition or
does not have a tax home in the United States for
U.S. federal income tax purposes and meets certain other
requirements; |
|
|
|
the Non-U.S. Holder is not subject to tax under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding the taxation
of certain former citizens or former long-term residents of the
United States; and |
|
|
|
we are not and have not been a U.S. real property holding
corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any
time during the shorter of the Non-U.S. Holders
holding period of our common stock and the five-year period
ending on the date of disposition. |
Generally, a corporation is a U.S. real property holding
corporation if the fair market value of its U.S. real
property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the fair market
value of its worldwide real property and its other assets used
or held for use in a trade or business. We believe that we are
not currently, and we do not anticipate becoming in the future,
a U.S. real property holding corporation.
Certain U.S. Federal Estate Tax Consequences
Common stock owned or treated as owned by an individual who is
not a citizen or resident (as defined for U.S. federal
estate tax purposes) of the United States at the time of death
will be includible in the individuals gross estate for
U.S. federal estate tax purposes and therefore may be
subject to U.S. federal estate tax, unless an applicable
estate tax treaty provides otherwise.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Dividends paid to you may be subject to information reporting
and U.S. backup withholding tax (at a rate of 28%). If you
are a Non-U.S. Holder you will be exempt from backup
withholding if you provide a Form W-8BEN certifying that
you are a Non-U.S. Holder or you otherwise meet documentary
evidence requirements for establishing that you are a
Non-U.S. Holder, or you otherwise establish an exemption.
95
The gross proceeds from the disposition of our common stock may
be subject to information reporting and U.S. backup
withholding tax. If you sell your common stock outside the
United States through a non-U.S. office of a
non-U.S. broker and the sales proceeds are paid to you
outside the United States, information reporting and backup
withholding generally will not apply to that payment. However,
information reporting, but not backup withholding, will
generally apply to a payment of sales proceeds, even if that
payment is made outside the United States, if you sell your
common stock through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is:
|
|
|
|
|
a U.S. person; |
|
|
|
a controlled foreign corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes; |
|
|
|
a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income from a
specified period is effectively connected with the conduct of a
U.S. trade or business; or |
|
|
|
a foreign partnership if at any time during its tax year either
(i) one or more of its partners are U.S. persons who
in the aggregate hold more than 50% of the income or capital
interests in the partnership, or (ii) the foreign
partnership is engaged in a U.S. trade or business, |
unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that you
are a Non-U.S. Holder and certain other conditions are met,
or you otherwise establish an exemption.
If you receive payments of the proceeds of a sale of our common
stock to or through a U.S. office of a broker, the payment
is subject to both U.S. backup withholding tax and
information reporting unless you provide a Form W-8BEN
certifying that you are a Non-U.S. Holder, or you otherwise
establish an exemption.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. You generally may
obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under the backup
withholding rules that exceed your U.S. federal income tax
liability by timely filing a properly completed refund claim
with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters are
obligated to purchase all of the shares of our common stock in
this offering if any are purchased, other than those shares
covered by the over-allotment option described below. The
underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter
defaults, the purchase commitments of the non-defaulting
underwriters may be increased or this offering may be terminated.
The selling stockholders have granted to the underwriters a
30-day option to purchase on a pro rata basis up
to additional
outstanding shares from the selling stockholders at the initial
public offering price less the underwriting discounts and
commissions. The option may be exercised only to cover any
over-allotments of common stock.
The underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock
initially at the public offering price on the cover page of this
prospectus and to selling group members at that price less a
selling concession of
$ per
share. The underwriters and selling group members may allow a
discount of
$ per
share on sales to other broker/ dealers. After the initial
public offering, the representatives may change the public
offering price and concession and discount to broker/ dealers.

We estimate that our out-of-pocket expenses for this offering
will be approximately
$ .
The representatives have informed us that the underwriters do
not expect sales to accounts over which the underwriters have
discretionary authority to exceed 5% of the shares of common
stock being offered.
We have agreed that we will not offer, sell, contract to sell,
pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file
with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act
relating to, any shares of
97
our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for any shares of our common stock, or publicly
disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge,
disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of
Credit Suisse First Boston LLC and UBS Securities LLC for a
period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus,
except with respect to common stock issued or issuable pursuant
to stock options outstanding on the date of this prospectus,
common stock contingently issuable under existing acquisition
contracts, common stock, not to
exceed shares,
issued in connection with future acquisitions subject to the
same 180-day restriction on resales and common stock and other
stock-based awards issued or issuable pursuant to our stock
incentive plans. However, in the event that either
(1) during the last 17 days of the lock-up
period, we release earnings results or material news or a
material event relating to us occurs or (2) prior to the
expiration of the lock-up period, we announce that
we will release earnings results during the 16-day period
beginning on the last day of the lock-up period,
then in either case the expiration of the lock-up
will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period
beginning on the date of the release of the earnings results or
the occurrence of the material news or event, as applicable,
unless Credit Suisse First Boston LLC and UBS Securities LLC
waive, in writing, such an extension.
Our officers and directors, the selling stockholders and certain
other persons have agreed that they will not offer, sell,
contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or
indirectly, any shares of our common stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares
of our common stock, enter into a transaction that would have
the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other
arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of our common stock, whether
any of these transactions are to be settled by delivery of our
common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or
publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge
or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or
other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written
consent of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC and UBS Securities LLC
for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus.
However, in the event that either (1) during the last
17 days of the lock-up period, we release
earnings results or material news or a material event relating
to us occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the
lock-up period, we announce that we will release
earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last
day of the lock-up period, then in either case the
expiration of the lock-up will be extended until the
expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the
release of the earnings results or the occurrence of the
material news or event, as applicable, unless Credit Suisse
First Boston LLC and UBS Securities LLC waive, in writing, such
an extension.
The underwriters have reserved for sale at the initial public
offering price up to 5% of the total shares of our common stock
offered hereby (excluding any shares to be sold pursuant to the
over-allotment option)for employees, directors and other persons
associated with us who have expressed an interest in purchasing
common stock in the offering. The number of shares available for
sale to the general public in the offering will be reduced to
the extent these persons purchase the reserved shares. Any
reserved shares not so purchased will be offered by the
underwriters to the general public on the same terms as the
other shares.
We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the
underwriters against liabilities under the Securities Act, or
contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to
make in that respect.
We will apply to list our common stock on the New York Stock
Exchange.
Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in
transactions with, and performed commercial and investment
banking financial advisor or lending services for, us and our
affiliates from time to time, for which they have received
customary compensation and may do so in the future. Affiliates
of UBS Securities LLC are arrangers and agents under our credit
facility and receive fees customary for performing these
services and interest on such. In addition, a portion of the net
proceeds from this offering may be used to repay a portion of
our revolving credit facility, in which case lenders under such
facility, including affiliates of some of the underwriters, will
receive their proportionate share of the net proceeds
(consisting of less than 10% of such proceeds) used to repay
such debt.
98
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our
common stock. The initial public offering price for our common
stock will be determined by negotiation between us and the
underwriters. The principal factors to be considered in
determining the initial public offering price include the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
the information included in this prospectus and otherwise
available to the underwriters; |
|
|
|
market conditions for initial public offerings; |
|
|
|
the history of and prospects for our business and our past and
present operations; |
|
|
|
the history of and prospects for the industry in which we
compete; |
|
|
|
our past and present earnings and current financial position; |
|
|
|
an assessment of our management; |
|
|
|
the market of securities of companies in businesses similar to
ours; and |
|
|
|
the general condition of the securities markets. |
The initial public offering price may not correspond to the
price at which our common stock will trade in the public market
subsequent to this offering, and an active trading market may
not develop and continue after this offering.
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may engage in
stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate
covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with
Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
|
|
|
|
|
Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying
security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a
specified maximum. |
|
|
|
Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of shares in
excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to
purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short
position may be either a covered short position or a naked short
position. In a covered short position, the number of shares
over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number
of shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option.
In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is
greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option.
The underwriters may close out any covered short position by
either exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing
shares in the open market. |
|
|
|
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common
stock in the open market after the distribution has been
completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In
determining the source of shares to close out the short
position, the underwriters will consider, among other things,
the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as
compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through
the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares
than could be covered by the over- allotment option, a naked
short position, the position can only be closed out by buying
shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely
to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could
be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open
market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who
purchase in the offering. |
99
|
|
|
|
|
Penalty bids permit the representatives to reclaim a selling
concession from a syndicate member when the common stock
originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a
stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate
short positions. |
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions
and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining
the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding
a decline in the market price of the common stock. As a result,
the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that
might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may
be effected on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise and, if
commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the
websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters, or
selling group members, if any, participating in this offering
and one or more of the underwriters participating in this
offering may distribute prospectuses electronically. The
representatives may agree to allocate a number of shares to
underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online
brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be
allocated by the underwriters and selling group members that
will make Internet distributions on the same basis as other
allocations.

NOTICE TO CANADIAN RESIDENTS
Resale Restrictions
The distribution of our common stock in Canada is being made
only on a private placement basis exempt from the requirement
that we and the selling stockholders prepare and file a
prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each
province where trades of common stock are made. Any resale of
the common stock in Canada must be made under applicable
securities laws which will vary depending on the relevant
jurisdiction, and which may require resales to be made under
available statutory exemptions or under a discretionary
exemption granted by the applicable Canadian securities
regulatory authority. Purchasers are advised to seek legal
advice prior to any resale of the common stock.
Representations of Purchasers
By purchasing common stock in Canada and accepting a purchase
confirmation, a purchaser is representing to us, the selling
stockholders and the dealer from whom the purchase confirmation
is received that:
|
|
|
|
|
the purchaser is entitled under applicable provincial securities
laws to purchase the common stock without the benefit of a
prospectus qualified under those securities laws; |
|
|
|
where required by law, that the purchaser is purchasing as
principal and not as agent; and |
|
|
|
the purchaser has reviewed the text above under
Resale Restrictions. |
Rights of Action Ontario Purchasers Only
Under Ontario securities legislation, a purchaser who purchases
a security offered by this prospectus during the period of
distribution will have a statutory right of action for damages,
or while still the owner of the common stock, for rescission
against us and the selling stockholders in the event that this
prospectus contains a misrepresentation. A purchaser will be
deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation. The right of
action for damages is exercisable not later than the earlier of
180 days from the date the purchaser first had knowledge of
the facts giving rise to the cause of action and three years
from the date on which payment is made for the common stock. The
right of action for rescission is exercisable not later than
180 days from the date on which payment is made for the
common stock. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of
action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of
action for damages against us or the selling stockholders. In no
case will the amount recoverable in any action exceed the price
at which the common stock was offered to the purchaser and if
the purchaser is shown to have purchased the securities with
knowledge of the misrepresentation, we and the selling
stockholders will have no liability. In the case of an action
for damages, we and the selling stockholders will not be liable
for all or any portion of the damages that are proven to not
represent the depreciation in value of the common stock as a
result of the misrepresentation relied upon. These rights are in
addition to, and without derogation from, any other rights or
remedies available at law to an Ontario purchaser. The foregoing
is a summary of the rights available to an Ontario purchaser.
Ontario purchasers should refer to the complete text of the
relevant statutory provisions.
Enforcement of Legal Rights
All of our directors and officers as well as the experts named
herein and the selling stockholders may be located outside of
Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for Canadian
purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon us or
those persons. All or a substantial portion of our assets and
the assets of those persons may be located outside of Canada
and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment
against us or those persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment
obtained in Canadian courts against us or those persons outside
of Canada.
101
Taxation and Eligibility for Investment
Canadian purchasers of common stock should consult their own
legal and tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of
an investment in the common stock in their particular
circumstances and about the eligibility of the common stock for
investment by the purchaser under relevant Canadian legislation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004
(unaudited)
(In thousands, except as noted and per share data)
1. General:
|
|
|
(a) Nature of operations: |
Complete Production Services, Inc. (Complete or the
Company) is a provider of specialized services and
products focused on developing hydrocarbon reserves, reducing
operating costs and enhancing production for oil and gas
companies. The Company focuses on basins within North America
and delivers targeted services and products required by its
customers within each specific basin. The Company manages its
operations from regional field service facilities located
throughout the U.S. Rocky Mountain region, Texas, Oklahoma,
Louisiana, western Canada and Mexico. The Company also has
offices in Southeast Asia from which it delivers products to
international oil and gas customers. Completes business
depends, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and
gas companies for exploration, development and production
activities. Therefore, a sustained increase or decrease in the
price of oil and gas, which could have a material impact on
exploration, development and production activities, also could
materially affect our financial position, results of operations
and cash flows.
On September 12, 2005, the Company completed the
combination (Combination) of Complete Energy
Services, Inc. (CES), Integrated Production
Services, Inc. (IPS) and I.E. Miller Services, Inc.
(IEM) pursuant to which the CES and IEM shareholders
exchanged all of their common stock for common stock of IPS. CES
shareholders received 19.704 shares of IPS common stock for
each share of CES, and IEM shareholders received
19.410 shares of IPS common stock for each share of IEM.
Subsequent to the combination, IPS changed its name to Complete
Production Services, Inc. and the former CES shareholders owned
57.6% of Complete common shares, IPS shareholders owned 33.2%
and the former IEM shareholders owned 9.2%.
The consolidated financial statements include the activities of
CES, IPS and IEM for the respective periods presented, and have
been prepared using the continuity of interests accounting
method, which yields results similar to the pooling of interests
method, under which the Company combined these entities which
were under common control and majority ownership of SCF-IV, L.P.
(SCF), a private equity firm that focuses on
investments in the oilfield services segment of the energy
industry. Under this method of accounting, the historical
financial statements of CES, IPS and IEM are combined for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30,
2004, in each case from the date each became controlled by SCF
(IPS May 22, 2001, CES
November 7, 2003, and IEM August 26,
2004). The accounting policies adopted by the Company were the
same policies that the predecessor companies employed. Upon the
completion of the Combination, the shareholders of CES held a
majority ownership position in the equity of Complete, retained
senior officer positions and former CES directors represent a
majority of the directors of Complete. Accordingly, CES will be
treated as the accounting acquirer of the minority interests as
a result of the Combination. The minority interest in net income
for each year is calculated based upon the percentage of equity
ownership not held by SCF in each of IPS and IEM. The
consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect
minority interest ownership in Complete.

(b) Basis of presentation: |
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect
all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial
position of Complete as of September 30, 2005 and the
statements of operations, comprehensive income,
stockholders equity and cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. Certain information and
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed
or omitted. These unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year
ended

December 31, 2004. Management believes that these financial
statements contain all adjustments required to make them not
misleading.
In preparing financial statements, management makes informed
judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis,
management reviews its estimates, including those related to
impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, contingencies and
income taxes. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in
revised estimates and actual results may differ from these
estimates.
The results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that could
be expected for the full year.
2. Business combinations:
On September 12, 2005, Integrated Production Services, Inc.
(IPS) acquired Complete Energy Services, Inc.
(CES) and I.E. Miller Services, Inc.
(IEM) for stock. The Company refers to this
transaction as the Combination. The Combination was
accounted for using the continuity of interest method as
described in note 1 of the audited consolidated financial
statements at December 31, 2004. Upon closing the
Combination, IPS changed its name to Complete Production
Services, Inc. For accounting purposes, CES was deemed to be the
acquiring entity.
The acquisition of the minority interests of IPS and IEM in
exchange for shares of our common stock and the elimination of
the historical amounts reflected in the combined group was as
noted below.

Since this transaction represents the purchase of a minority
interest in the combined entity, assets and liabilities were
deemed to be recorded at historical cost which approximated fair
value. Therefore, the Company recorded an increase in additional
paid-in-capital with a similar increase in goodwill, with no
other changes to asset or liability accounts. The purchase price
of the minority interest in IEM and IPS is preliminary as of
September 30, 2005.

(b) Parchman Energy Group, Inc.
(Parchman): |
On February 11, 2005, the Company acquired all of the
common shares of Parchman in a business combination accounted
for as a purchase. Parchman performs coiled tubing services,
well testing services, snubbing services and wireline services
in Louisiana, Texas, Wyoming and Mexico. The results of
operations for Parchman were included in the accounts of
Complete from the date of acquisition. In addition, the purchase
agreement provides for the issuance of up to 500,000 common
shares of the Company as contingent consideration over the
period from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2005
based on certain operating results of the Companys
operations in the United States. Goodwill of $21,975 resulted
from the acquisition and was allocated entirely to the
completion and production services segment. Intangible assets
included customer relationships and patents that are being
amortized over a 3 to 5 year period.

6. Long-term debt:
Effective February 11, 2005, the Company and a group of
banks entered into a new credit facility replacing the
facilities described in notes 9 and 10(a) of the
December 31, 2004 audited consolidated financial
statements. The new syndicated credit facility included five
separate facilities secured by a common security package. The
agreement included a U.S. operating facility providing up
to $20,000 and a Canadian operating facility providing up to
C$15,000. Each operating facility was to mature on
February 10, 2008. The agreement also included two reducing
term facilities ($20,000 and C$30,000) which were to mature on
February 10, 2010 and required quarterly payments of $1,000
and C$1,500, respectively. Each of these four facilities bore
interest from prime plus 0.25% to prime plus 1.50% per
annum, 1.5% at September 30, 2005, on a grid based on
certain financial ratios. The fifth term facility was in the
amount of $35,000, was to mature February 10, 2011,
required quarterly payments of $88, and bore interest at the
London Interbank Borrowing Rate (LIBOR) plus
3.5%. The credit facilities required the maintenance of certain
financial ratios and other covenants and were secured by
substantially all of the assets of IPS. The Canadian dollar to
U.S. dollar exchange rate at September 30, 2005 was
$1.1713.
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company amended the term
and revolving loans described in note 10(b) of the
December 31, 2004 audited consolidated financial statements
several times which resulted in increased total borrowing
capacity and the extension of the maturity dates of the term
loan to February 2012 and the revolving line of credit to
February 2009. Quarterly principal payments of $350 were
required on the term loan. All borrowings under the term loan
portion of this facility were retired on September 12,
2005. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had outstanding
borrowings under the revolving portion of this facility of
$26,100.
Concurrent with the consummation of the Combination
(note 1(a)), the Company entered into a syndicated senior
secured credit facility (the Credit Facility)
pursuant to which all bank debt held by each of IPS, CES and IEM
was repaid and replaced with the proceeds from the Credit
Facility. The Credit Facility was comprised of a $420,000
Term B term loan credit facility that will mature in
September 2012, a U.S. revolving credit facility of
$130,000 that will mature in September 2010, and a Canadian
revolving credit facility of $30,000 that will mature in
September 2010. Interest on the Credit Facility is determined by
reference to LIBOR plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.75% (dependent on
the ratio of total debt to EBITDA, as defined in the agreement)
for revolving advances and a margin of 2.75% for Term B
term loan advances. Interest on advances under the Canadian
revolving facility was calculated at

(unaudited)
(In thousands, except as noted and per share data)
the Canadian Prime Rate plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.75%.
Quarterly principal repayments of 0.25% of the original
principal amount are required for the Term B term loans
commencing December 2005. The Credit Facility contains covenants
restricting the levels of certain transactions including:
entering into certain loans, the granting of certain liens,
capital expenditures, acquisitions, distributions to
shareholders, certain asset dispositions and operating leases.
The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the
assets of the Company. As of September 30, 2005, the
Company had borrowings of $420,000 outstanding under the term
loan portion of this facility, which bore interest at 6.72%,
leaving no borrowing capacity available. Under the revolving
portion of this facility, there were no borrowings outstanding
at September 30, 2005, only letters of credit totaling
$5,300, leaving a borrowing capacity of $124,700.
7. Subordinated notes:
On February 11, 2005, the Company issued subordinated notes
to certain sellers of Parchman common shares (note 2(a)).
These notes are unsecured, subordinated to all present and
future senior debt and bear interest at 6.0% during the first
three years of the note, 8.0% during year four and 10.0%
thereafter. There are no fixed terms of repayment and the
Company, at its option, may repay the notes at anytime so long
as such payment does not result in an event of default under any
loan agreement. These subordinated notes, recorded as long-term
debt at September 30, 2005, included notes totaling $4,765
which were beneficially held by directors or employees of the
Company.
8. Stockholders equity:
On September 12, 2005, the authorized share capital of the
Company was increased to 100,000,000 common shares from
12,000,000 common shares with par value of $0.01 per
share and to 5,000,000 preferred shares from
1,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.01 per
share.
The Companys board of directors approved a stock split on
a ten-for-one basis in September 2002. This stock split has been
reflected retroactively in these financial statements.
Outstanding warrants and stock options awarded have also been
retroactively adjusted to account for the stock split.
On September 12, 2005, the Company completed the
Combination of CES, IPS and IEM pursuant to which CES and IEM
stockholders exchanged all of their common stock for common
stock of IPS. The CES stockholders received 19.704 shares
of IPS common stock for each share of CES, and the
IEM stockholders received 19.410 shares of
IPS common stock for each share of IEM. Subsequent to the
combination, IPS changed its name to Complete Production
Services, Inc. and the former CES stockholders owned 57.6%
of Completes common shares, IPS stockholders owned
33.2% and the former IEM stockholders owned 9.2%. The
amounts of authorized and issued stock, warrants and options of
CES have been adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio of 19.704
pursuant to the Combination. The amounts of authorized and
issued stock, warrants and options of IEM have been adjusted to
reflect the exchange ratio of 19.410 pursuant to the Combination.
On September 12, 2005, Complete paid a dividend of
$5.24 per share for an aggregate payment of approximately
$146,900 to stockholders of record on that date. Up to an
additional $3,100 will be paid to stockholders in respect of
stock earnable pursuant to contingent consideration provisions
of certain acquisition agreements previously entered into by the
Company.

$10.00 per share anytime through May 23, 2011. The
warrant was issued as a source of future financing for the
Companys growth. In 2001 and 2004, SCF purchased
370,000 shares and 200,000 shares, respectively,
pursuant to the warrant. On February 9, 2005, SCF purchased
another 1,000,000 shares pursuant to the warrant. The

Pursuant to the Subordinate Credit Agreement (note 10(e) of
the December 31, 2004 audited consolidated financial
statements), the Company issued detachable warrants to the
lenders to purchase up to 35,909 shares of the
Companys common stock at $5.15 per share at any time

24,263 shares of the Companys common stock at
$0.01 per share at any time through August 31, 2007.
The fair value of these warrants, $125,000, was recorded as

(d) Employee stock incentive plans: |
Following the Combination, the Company maintained each of the
options plans previously maintained by IPS, CES and IEM. Under
the three option plans, options could be granted to employees,
officers and directors to purchase up to 1,500,000 common
shares, 1,182,240 common shares and 388,200 common
shares of the Company, respectively. The exercise price of each
option is based on the fair value of the individual
companys stock at the date of grant. Options may be
exercised over a 5-year period and generally a third of the
options vest on each of the first three anniversaries from the
grant date.
Pursuant to the Combination, upon payment of the dividend of
$5.24 per share as described in note 8(b), the terms
of all options outstanding were adjusted to offset the decrease
in the Companys per share price attributable to the
dividend. The result of this adjustment, applied to the options
outstanding as at December 31, 2004, was an increase in the
number of options outstanding to 1,129,698 and a reduction

(e) Stock-based compensation: |
The Company applied the minimum value method prescribed in
Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25 in
accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. If
compensation cost for the Companys stock-based
compensation plans had been determined using the fair value
approach set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123, the Companys
results of operation, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, would have been amounts

The expected dividend rate used was zero, as the Company does
not intend to pay dividends on its common stock in the future.
The weighted average common stock outstanding used in
calculating basic and diluted net earnings per share at
September 30, 2005 were 27,281,718 (2004
14,176,036) and 29,640,329 (2004 16,185,858),
respectively. The reconciling items between basic and diluted
weighted average common stock outstanding was the dilutive
impact of outstanding stock options restricted stock,
convertible debentures and stock and warrants. The Company
excluded the effect of anti-dilutive securities from the
calculation of diluted weighted average shares for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. If
these securities had been included in the calculations, diluted
weighted average shares would have been 29,708,414 and
16,307,336, respectively, with no impact on earnings per share
as disclosed.

(g) Repurchase of common stock: |
In 2005, the Company paid $200 to repurchase 17,785 shares
of common stock from a former officer of a predecessor company.

11. Segmented information:
SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards
for the reporting of information about operating segments,
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
The method of determining what information to report is based on
the way management organizes the operating segments within the
Company for making operational decisions and assessments of
financial performance. The Company evaluates performance and
allocates resources based on net income (loss) before interest
expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and minority
interest (EBITDA). The calculation of EBITDA should
not be viewed as a substitute for calculations under
U.S. GAAP, in particular net income. EBITDA calculated by
the Company may not be comparable to another company.
The Company has three reportable operating segments: completion
and production services (C&PS), drilling
services and product sales as well as three geographic regions:
the United States, Canada and International. The accounting
policies of the segments are the same as those described in
note 1. Other inter-segment transactions are accounted for
on a cost recovery basis.

13. Recent accounting
pronouncements:
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,
Inventory Costs. SFAS No. 151 amends the
guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43,
Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage), and
generally requires that these amounts be expensed in the period
the cost arises, rather than being included in the cost of
inventory, thereby requiring that the allocation of fixed
production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on
normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151
becomes effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2005, but earlier
application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of SFAS No. 151 on our financial
statements, but the Company does not expect that it will have a
material impact on its financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets.
SFAS No. 153 amends current guidance related to the
exchange on nonmonetary assets as per APB Opinion No. 29,
Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, to
eliminate an exception that allowed exchange of similar
nonmonetary assets without determination of the fair value of
those assets, and replaced this provision with a general
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial
substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change significantly as a result of the exchange.
SFAS No. 153 becomes effective for nonmonetary asset
exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after
June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the
adoption of this policy will have a material impact on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment, which revises
SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB No. 25.
SFAS No. 123R will require the Company to measure the
cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of
equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the
award, with limited exceptions. The fair value of the award will
be remeasured at each

reporting date through the settlement date, with changes in fair
value recognized as compensation expense of the period. Entities
should continue to use an option-pricing model, adjusted for the
unique characteristics of those instruments, to determine fair
value as of the grant date of the stock options.
SFAS No. 123R was to become effective as of the
beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that
begins after June 15, 2005. However, the SEC issued an
extension which allows public companies to defer adoption of
SFAS No. 123R until the beginning of their fiscal year
that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company has not yet
adopted SFAS No. 123R and is currently evaluating the
impact that this policy will have on its financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a Replacement of
APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.
SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application of
changes in accounting principle to prior periods financial
statements, rather than the use of the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle, unless impracticable. If
impracticable to determine the impact on prior periods, then the
new accounting principle should be applied to the balances of
assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest
period for which retrospective application is practicable, with
a corresponding adjustment to equity, unless impracticable for
all periods presented, in which case prospective treatment
should be applied. SFAS No. 154 applies to all
voluntary changes in accounting principle, as well as those
required by the issuance of new accounting pronouncements if no
specific transition guidance is provided. SFAS No. 154
does not change the previously issued guidance for reporting a
change in accounting estimate or correction of an error.
SFAS No. 154 becomes effective for accounting changes
and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect this policy
to have a material impact on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
14. Subsequent events:
On November 1, 2005, Complete acquired the all the
outstanding equity interests of the Big Mac group of companies
(Big Mac Transports, LLC, Big Mac Tank Trucks, LLC and Fugo
Services, LLC) for $40,800 in cash. The Big Mac group of
companies (Big Mac) is based in McAlester, Oklahoma,
and provides fluid handling services primarily to customers in
eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. The purchase price, which
is subject to a post-closing adjustment for actual working
capital and reimbursable capital expenditures as of the closing
date, has not yet been finalized. The Company will include the
operating results of Big Mac in the completion and production
services business segment from the date of acquisition. Complete
believes that this acquisition provides a platform to enter the
eastern Oklahoma market and new Fayetteville Shale play in
Arkansas.

Years Ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
(In thousands, except as noted and per share data)
1. Significant accounting
policies:
Complete Production Services, Inc. (Complete or the
Company) is a provider of specialized services and
products focused on developing hydrocarbon reserves, reducing
operating costs and enhancing production for oil and gas
companies. The Company focuses on basins within North America
and delivers targeted services and products required by its
customers within each specific basin. The Company manages its
operations from regional field service facilities located
throughout the U.S. Rocky Mountain region, Texas, Oklahoma,
Louisiana, western Canada and Mexico. The Company also has
offices in Southeast Asia from which it delivers products to
international oil and gas customers. Completes business
depends, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and
gas companies for exploration, development and production
activities. Therefore, a sustained increase or decrease in the
price of natural gas or oil, which could have a material impact
on exploration, development and production activities, also
could materially affect our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
On September 12, 2005, the Company completed the
combination (Combination) of Complete Energy
Services, Inc. (CES), Integrated Production
Services, Inc. (IPS) and I.E. Miller Services, Inc.
(IEM) pursuant to which the CES and IEM shareholders
exchanged all of their common stock for common stock of IPS. CES
shareholders received 19.704 shares of IPS for each share
of CES, and IEM shareholders received 19.410 shares of IPS
for each share of IEM. Subsequent to the combination, IPS
changed its name to Complete Production Services, Inc. The
former CES shareholders owned 57.6% of Complete common shares,
IPS shareholders owned 33.2% and the former IEM shareholders
owned 9.2%.
The consolidated financial statements include the activities of
CES, IPS and IEM for the respective periods and have been
prepared using the continuity of interests accounting method,
which yields results similar to the pooling of interests method,
under which the Company combined entities which were under
common control and majority ownership of SCF-IV, L.P.
(SCF), a private equity fund that focuses on
investments in the energy services segment of the energy
industry. Under this method of accounting, the historical
financial statements of CES, IPS and IEM were combined for the
years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, in each case
from the date each became controlled by SCF (IPS
May 22, 2001, CES November 7, 2003, and
IEM August 26, 2004). The accounting policies
adopted by the Company were the same policies that the
predecessor companies employed. Upon the completion of the
Combination, the shareholders of CES held a majority ownership
position in the equity of Complete, retained senior officer
positions and former CES directors represent a majority of the
directors of Complete. Accordingly, CES will be treated as the
accounting acquirer of the minority interest ownership as a
result of the Combination. The minority interest ownership in
net income for each year is calculated based upon the percentage
of equity ownership not held by SCF in each of IPS and IEM. The
consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect
minority interest ownership in Complete.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are
expressed in U.S. dollars and have been prepared by
management in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial
statements have, in managements opinion, been properly
prepared using careful judgment with reasonable limits of
materiality and within the framework of the significant
accounting policies summarized below.

Integrated Production Services, Inc. (formerly Saber Energy
Services, Inc. (Saber)) |
IPS, a Delaware corporation, was formerly named Saber Energy
Services, Inc. On September 18, 2002, an amendment to the
certificate of incorporation for Saber was filed with the State
of Delaware to change the name of the company from Saber to IPS.
Saber was incorporated on May 22, 2001 at which date SCF
was its controlling shareholder. As described in note 2(f)
Saber entered into a combination agreement with Integrated
Production Services Ltd. (IPSL) on
September 20, 2002. SCF held an equity interest in IPSL
from October 16, 2000 and became the controlling
shareholder of IPSL on July 3, 2002. IPS provides a wide
range of services and products to the oil and gas industry
designed to reduce customers operating costs and increase
production from customers hydrocarbon reserves. Services
provided include coiled tubing, wireline, production testing and
production optimization. Operations are located in western
Canada, Texas, Louisiana and Southeast Asia.
These consolidated financial statements include the operations
of Saber from the date of its incorporation on May 22, 2001
and the operations of Integrated Productions Services Ltd.
(IPSL) from the date of an initial investment by
SCF-IV, L.P. (SCF) on October 16, 2000,
following the continuity of interest method of accounting based
on common ownership by SCF. Details of the business combinations
are outlined in note 2.

I.E. Miller Services, Inc. |
IEM, a Delaware corporation, was formed on August 26, 2004

(a) Basis of preparation: |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the legal entities discussed above and their wholly owned
subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
|
|
|
(b) Foreign currency translation: |
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional
currencies are the local currency, are translated from their
respective functional currencies to U.S. dollars at the
balance sheet date exchange rates. Income and expense items are
translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during
the year. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from
translation of account balances are included in income or

loss in the year in which they occur. The adjustment resulting
from translating the financial statements of such foreign
subsidiaries into U.S. dollars is reflected as a separate
component of stockholders equity.
The Company recognizes service revenue when it is realized and
earned. The Company considers revenue to be realized and earned
when the services have been provided to the customer, the
product has been delivered, the sales price has been fixed or
determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Generally
services are provided over a relatively short time.
Revenue and costs on drilling contracts are recognized as work
progresses. Progress is measured and revenues recognized based
upon agreed day-rate charges. For certain contracts, the Company
receives additional lump-sum payments for the mobilization of
rigs and other drilling equipment. Consistent with the drilling
contract day-rate revenues and charges, revenues and related
direct costs incurred for the mobilization are deferred and
recognized over the term of the related drilling contract. Costs
incurred to relocate rigs and other drilling equipment to areas
in which a contract has not been secured are expensed as
incurred.
We recognize revenue under service contracts as services are
performed. The Company had no unearned revenues associated with
long-term service contracts as of December 31, 2004.
|
|
|
(d) Cash and cash equivalents: |
Short-term investments with maturities less than three months
are considered to be cash equivalents and are recorded at cost,
which approximates fair market value. For the purposes of the
consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
investments in highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
|
|
|
(e) Trade accounts receivable: |
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount
and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is
the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable
credit losses in the Companys existing accounts
receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on
historical write-off experience, account aging and
managements assumptions about the oil and gas industry
economic cycle. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful
accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a
specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility.
All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis. Account
balances are charged off against the allowance after all
appropriate means of collection have been exhausted and the
potential for recovery is considered remote. Based on its
customer base, the Company does not believe that it has any
significant concentrations of credit risk other than its
concentration in the oil and gas industry. The Company does not
have any off balance-sheet credit exposure related to its
customers.
Inventory consisting of finished goods and materials and
supplies held for resale is carried at the lower of cost and
market. Market is defined as net realizable value for finished
goods and as a replacement cost for manufacturing parts and
materials. Cost is determined on a first-in first-out basis for
refurbished parts and an average cost basis for all other
inventories and includes the cost of raw materials and labor for
finished goods.

3 to 10 years |
Intangible assets, consisting of acquired customer
relationships, service marks, non-compete agreements, acquired
patents and technology, are carried at cost less accumulated
amortization, which is calculated on a straight-line basis over
a period of 3 to 10 years depending on the
assets estimated useful life. The weighted average
amortization period was 5 years as of December 31,
2004.
|
|
|
(i) Impairment of long-lived assets: |
In accordance with SFAS 144, long-lived assets, such as
property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject
to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be
held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount
of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is
recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed
of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.
The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as
held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate
asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.
|
|
|
(j) Asset retirement obligations: |
In June 2001, SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations, was issued. SFAS 143 requires the Company
to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a
liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets
that result from the acquisition, construction, development,
and/or normal use of the assets. The Company also would record a
corresponding asset that is depreciated over the life of the
asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset
retirement obligation, the obligation would be adjusted at the
end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in
the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation.

The Company was required to adopt SFAS 143 on
January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 143 did not
affect the Companys financial statements.
|
|
|
(k) Deferred financing costs: |
Deferred financing costs associated with long-term debt are
carried at cost and are expensed over the term of the relevant
long-term debt.
Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of
assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill acquired in a business
combination is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment
at least annually in the fourth quarter. Under this goodwill
impairment test, if the fair value of a reporting unit does not
exceed its carrying value, the excess of fair value of a
reporting unit over the fair value of its net assets is
considered to be the implied fair value of goodwill. If the
carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the
difference is recognized as an impairment loss.
|
|
|
(m) Deferred income taxes: |
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for
income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are determined based upon temporary differences
between the carrying amount and tax basis of the Companys
assets and liabilities and measured using enacted tax rates and
laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in the tax rates is recognized in income in the period in
which the change occurs. The Company records a valuation reserve
in each reporting period when management believes that it is
more likely than not that any deferred tax asset created will
not be realized.
|
|
|
(n) Financial instruments: |
The financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet
consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable,
bank operating loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
long-term debt and convertible debentures. The fair value of all
financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts due to
their current maturities or market rates of interest.
The treasury stock method of calculating diluted per share
amounts is utilized. This method assumes that any proceeds from
the exercise of options and other dilutive instruments where the
fair value exceeds the exercise price would be used to purchase
common stock at the average fair value during the period.
|
|
|
(p) Stock-based compensation: |
The Company has stock-based compensation plans for its
employees, officers and directors to acquire common stock.
Options are issued with an exercise price equal to fair value of
the stock on the date of grant; consequently, under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, no compensation expense is recorded.
Consideration paid on the exercise of stock options is credited
to share capital and additional paid-in capital. Pro forma
information required by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, is noted below. Restricted shares
are awarded at a price equal to fair value and the related
compensation expense is charged to income over the vesting
period of the restricted stock.

The Company applied the minimum value method prescribed in APB
No. 25 in accounting for its stock-based compensation
plans. If compensation cost for the Companys stock-based
compensation plans had been determined using the fair value
approach set forth in SFAS No. 123, the Companys
results of operations for the years ended December 31,

(s) Measurement uncertainty: |
The Companys consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of
the consolidated financial statements in accordance with
U.S. GAAP necessarily requires the Company to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company
evaluates its estimates including those related to bad debts,
inventory obsolescence, property plant and equipment

bases its estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that are believed at the time to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Under different assumptions or
conditions, the actual results could differ, possibly
materially, from those previously estimated. Many of the

There were 266,727 common shares issued as consideration on
these acquisitions. The share price of $11.39 per share was
determined based on an internal valuation using a market
multiple methodology and approved by the Companys Board of
Directors. These acquisitions provide platforms for the
provision of the Companys services in the Barnett Shale
and Rocky Mountain regions. In addition, MGM operates an
optimization and swabbing business in Texas, and through
distributors in Wyoming and Canada, provides the Company with
expertise, personnel, and a platform to expand its optimization
business in North America. The results of operations are
included in the accounts from the date of acquisition. The
purchase agreement for Double Jack provides for up to $1,200 of
contingent consideration over the period from the date of
acquisition to December 31, 2005 based on operating results
of the acquired business. Contingent consideration will be
accounted for as an adjustment to the purchase price in the
period earned. At December 31, 2004, $300 of the contingent
consideration was earned. The purchase agreement for MGM
provides for contingent consideration of up to $3,430 of cash
and 107,066 common shares over the period from the date of
acquisition to December 31, 2006 based on certain operating
results of the acquired MGM business. Contingent consideration
will be accounted for as an adjustment to the purchase price in

for common stock, of $5.08 per share, issued pursuant to the
transaction was based on a negotiated price with the seller.

(e) IPS 2003 Acquisitions: |
On April 30, 2003, the Company acquired all of the stock of
Ess-Ell Tool Co. Ltd., 852592 Alberta Ltd. and Sentry Oil Tools
LLC as well as related holding companies in a business
combination accounted for as a purchase. The companies operate a
flow control products business in Canada and Texas providing the
Company with an expanded line of production enhancement products
and geographic platforms from which to expand. The results of
operations of these acquired companies have been included in the
accounts of Complete from the date of acquisition. Goodwill
associated with these acquisitions was entirely allocated to the
product sales segment. The price for common stock of $11.39 per
share issued pursuant to the transaction was based on the fair
value estimated by the financial advisor engaged in connection
with the September 20, 2002 combination as described in
note 2(f) and updated with an internally-prepared valuation
using a market-multiple approach.

(f) IPS 2002 Combination: |
On September 20, 2002, Saber Energy Services, Inc.
(Saber) and Integrated Production Services Ltd.
(IPSL) entered into a combination agreement to
form IPS. Each of the predecessor companies was on oil and
gas well services company. Pursuant to the combination
agreement, all of the issued and outstanding stock of IPSL was
acquired in exchange for 4,694,010 common shares of Saber,
representing an exchange ratio of 0.1694 Saber common shares for
every IPSL common share. In connection with the combination, a
financial advisor was engaged and provided an opinion that the
combination was fair from a financial point of view to the
minority shareholders of IPSL and IPS. Prior to the combination
transaction, SCF held a controlling interest in each of IPSL and
Saber; accordingly, the transaction was accounted for using the
continuity of interests method. On September 18, 2002,
Saber changed its name to Integrated Production Services, Inc.
The accounting policies adopted by the Company were the same
policies that the predecessor companies employed.

|
(g) IPS 2002 Acquisition: |
On July 3, 2002, SCF completed a step-by-step acquisition
of IPSL. SCF initially purchased a 44.8% equity interest in IPSL
for cash consideration of $20,000 (C$30,000) on October 16,
2000. On July 2, 2002, SCF, through a subsidiary company
(Acquisition Co.), acquired the remaining 55.2% of
the stock of IPSL, which it did not hold, for a cash
consideration of $29,508 (C$44,885), including transaction costs
of $1,631 (C$2,589), pursuant to a take over bid. Coincident
with the second purchase, SCF transferred

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets,
management considers whether it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not
be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax
assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income
during the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset,
the Company will need to generate future taxable income of
approximately $26,000 prior to the expiration of the net
operating loss carryforwards in 2024.
The Company has U.S. loss carryforwards of $26,023
(2003 $13,945) which expire between 2021 and 2024.
The Company also has approximately $3,772 (2003
$5,160) of foreign non-capital loss carryforwards which expire
between 2004 and 2009.
In 2003, the Company completed a review of the tax basis arising
from certain acquisitions which resulted in a reduction to the
valuation allowance by $1,400. The reduction in the valuation
allowance resulted in a reduction in goodwill attributable to
the completion and production services segment.
No deferred income taxes were provided on approximately $7,300
of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2004, as the Company intends to indefinitely
reinvest these funds. Upon distribution of these earnings in the
form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to

U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. It is not
practical, however, to estimate the amount of taxes that may be
payable on the eventual distribution of these earnings after
consideration of available foreign tax credits.
At December 31, 2004, the Company had Canadian and
U.S. dollarsyndicated revolving operating credit
facilities (see note 10(a)) in place. The Canadian
operating facility provided up to C$10,000 (2003
C$16,800). The U.S. operating facility line provided a
revolving credit facility up to $10,000 (2003
$3,000). Interest was on a grid based on certain financial
ratios and ranged from primetoprime plus
1.25% per annum. At December 31, 2004, Canadian and
U.S. prime were 4.25% and 5.25% (2003 4.5% and
4.0%), respectively. The facilities were secured by a general
security agreement providing a first charge against the
Companys assets. The Canadian and U.S. credit
facilities included a commitment fee of 0.25% and
0.375% per annum, respectively, on the average unused
portion of the revolving credit facilities.
The maximum amounts available under these credit facilities were
subject to a borrowing base formula based upon trade accounts
receivable and inventory. As at December 31, 2004, the
maximum available under these combined facilities was limited by
the borrowing base formula to $20,536 (2003 $13,509).
At December 31, 2004, the Company had drawn $15,745
(2003 $5,929) on these operating lines and an
additional amount of $6,000 outstanding pursuant to an overnight
facility in the United States offset by a corresponding $6,000
of cash on deposit in Canada. As at December 31, 2004, $48
(2003 $122) of letters of credit were outstanding.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had a syndicated credit
facility which included four separate facilities secured by a
common security package. The two operating facilities are
described in Note 9. The agreement also included a Canadian
reducing term facility (CTF) and a
U.S. reducing term facility (UTF). The CTF had
been fully drawn and was repayable in equal quarterly
installments of C$1,370 and $175. The UTF had also been fully
drawn and was repayable in equal quarterly installments of
C$954. The facilities were to mature on June 30, 2007 and
bore interest from prime |

plus 0.25% to prime plus 1.50% per annum on a grid based on
certain financial ratios. At December 31, 2004, Canadian
and U.S. prime were 4.25% and 5.25% (2003 4.5%
and 4.0%, 2002 4.5% and 4.25%), respectively. The
Company was in compliance with all of the terms of these
facilities at December 31, 2004. |
|
|
|
|
Effective February 11, 2005, in conjunction with the
acquisition of Parchman Energy Group, Inc. (see Note 20),
the Company and a group of banks entered into a new credit
facility replacing the current credit facility. The new credit
facility was comprised of five separate facilities secured by a
common security package including a first charge against the
Companys assets. There are two operating facilities
($20,000 and C$15,000), each of which was to mature on
February 10, 2008, which replaced the existing operating
facilities. There were two reducing term facilities ($20,000 and
C$30,000) which were to mature on February 10, 2010 and
which required quarterly payments of $1,000 and C$1,500
respectively. Each of these four facilities bore interest from
prime plus 0.25% to prime plus 1.50% per annum on a grid
based on certain financial ratios. The fifth term facility was
in the amount of $35,000, was to mature on February 10,
2011, required quarterly payments of $88, and bore interest at
LIBOR plus 3.5%. Each of the three term facilities were drawn in
full on February 11, 2005. The credit facilities required
maintenance of certain financial ratios and other covenants. |
|
|
(b) |
|
In November 2003, the Company established a secured $30,600 term
loan and an $8,000 secured revolving line of credit. During
2004, the Company amended the term loan and revolving line of
credit several times to facilitate the acquisitions described in
note 2, which resulted in increasing the Companys
total borrowing capacity to $120,650 and $30,000, respectively,
and extension of the maturity dates. At December 31, 2004,
the Company did not have any remaining borrowing capacity on the
term loan and $10,200 of remaining capacity on the revolving
line of credit. |
|
|
|
Substantially all of CESs real and personal property and a
pledge of the ownership interest of present and future
subsidiaries secure both the term loan and the revolving line of
credit. The term loan and revolving line of credit bore interest
at either the lead banks prime rate plus a margin of 1.75%
to 2.25% or the LIBOR plus a margin of 2.75% to 3.25%, depending
on the Companys leverage ratio, as defined. The interest
rate on the term loan in 2004 averaged 5.75% (2003
6.25%). The interest rate on the revolving loan in 2004 averaged
6.13% (2003 6.25%). |
|
|
|
There are quarterly principal payments on the term loan in the
amount of $4,350 with final maturity on August 31, 2009.
The revolving line of credit was due on August 31, 2007.
The Company must pay a commitment fee in the amount of 0.50% on
the unused revolving line of credit capacity. |
|
|
|
The Company was required to maintain certain financial ratios
and other financial conditions. In addition, the Company was
prohibited from making certain investments, advances or loans.
The term loan and credit agreements restrict substantial asset
sales, capital expenditures and cash dividends. The Company was
in compliance with all covenants and conditions as of
December 31, 2004. |
|
(c) |
|
The subordinated seller note was unsecured, bore interest at
6.0% and was to mature in March 2009. |
|
(d) |
|
In August 2004, the Company entered into a Senior Secured
Agreement (the Agreement) with a group of financial
institutions with a maximum commitment of $12,000 and a maturity
date of August 31, 2008. Quarterly principal payments of
$464 are required under the facility. As part of the Agreement,
the Company entered into a Revolving Note Agreement
(Revolver) providing for borrowings of up to $8,000
with a maturity date of August 31, 2007. At
December 31, 2004, there were no outstanding borrowings
under the Revolver. Pursuant to the Agreement, interest on the
borrowings was calculated using a variable base rate plus a
margin. The margin ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% for base rate
advances and from 2.50% to 3.50% for LIBOR loans depending on
IEMs leverage ratio. The interest rate averaged
approximately 5.18% for the four months ended December 31,
2004. In addition to interest, the banks receive various fees,
including a commitment fee. The commitment fee varies from
0.375% to 0.50% of average unused commitment amount on the
Revolver, depending on IEMs leverage ratio. The note was
subject to restrictive covenants. The |

Company was in compliance with all covenants during 2004. The
Agreement was secured by substantially all of IEMs assets. |
|
(e) |
|
On August 31, 2004, the Company entered into a Subordinate
Credit Agreement with a maximum term commitment of $20,000 and
maturity of August 31, 2009. Principal plus accrued
interest was to be due at maturity. Pursuant to the credit
agreement, interest on borrowings was calculated using a
variable base rate equal to the greater of the agent banks
Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% plus a margin.
The margin ranges from 2.0% to 4.0% depending on IEMs
leverage ratio. The interest rate for the four months ended
December 31, 2004 was approximately 7.25%. The note was
subject to restrictive covenants. The Company was in compliance
with all covenants during 2004. |
|
(f) |
|
At December 31, 2004, the Companys capital leases are
collateralized by specific assets and bear interest at various
rates averaging 10.29% (2003 7.0%). |
|
|
(g) |
|
Concurrent with the completion of the Combination
(Note 20(b)), the Company entered into a syndicated senior
secured credit facility (the Credit Facility)
pursuant to which all bank debt held by each of IPS, CES and IEM
was repaid and replaced with the proceeds from the Credit
Facility. The Credit Facility is comprised of a $420,000
Term B term loan credit facility that will mature in
September 2012, a U.S. revolving credit facility of
$130,000 that will mature in September 2010, and a $30,000
revolving credit facility that will mature in September 2010.
Interest on the Credit Facility is determined by reference to
LIBOR plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.75% (dependent on the ratio of
total debt to EBITDA, as defined in the Agreement) for revolving
advances and a margin of 2.75% for Term B term loan advances.
Interest on advances under the Canadian revolving facility is
calculated at the Canadian Prime Rate plus a margin of 0.25% to
1.75%. The revolving facility includes a commitment fee ranging
from 0.25% to 0.50% (dependent on the ratio of total debt to
EBITDA, as defined in the Agreement). Quarterly principal
repayments of 0.25% of the original principal amount are
required for the Term B term loans commencing December
2005. The Credit Facility contains covenants restricting the
levels of certain transactions, including entering into certain
loans, the granting of certain liens, capital expenditures,
acquisitions, distributions to shareholders, certain asset
dispositions and operating leases. The Credit Facility is
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. |

Principal repayments on the long-term debt (including capital
leases) over the next five years pursuant to the
September 12, 2005 credit facility are:

Company, issued convertible debentures of C$5,000 maturing
June 30, 2005 and convertible into 313,704 common shares at
the holders option at C$15.94 per share at any time
prior to maturity. The debentures were secured by a general
security agreement providing a charge against IPSLs
assets, subordinated to any other senior indebtedness, and bore
interest at 9% per annum. The chief executive officer of
the debenture holder was a director of the Company. The
debenture was repaid in full on June 30, 2005.

The Companys board of directors approved a stock split on
a ten-for-one basis in September 2002. This stock split has been
reflected retroactively in these financial statements.
Outstanding warrants and stock options awarded have also been
retroactively adjusted to account for the stock split.
On May 23, 2001, the Company issued a warrant to its major
shareholder, SCF-IV, L.P. (SCF), to purchase up to
2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an
exercise price of $10.00 per share any time through
May 23, 2011. The warrant was issued as a source of future
financing for the Companys growth. In 2001 and 2004, SCF
purchased 370,000 shares and 200,000 shares,
respectively, under the warrant. On February 9, 2005, SCF
purchased another 1,000,000 shares under the warrant. The
warrant was cancelled on September 12, 2005.
In November 2003, the Company issued a warrant to SCF to
purchase up to 6,896,400 shares of the Companys
common stock at an exercise price of $5.08 per share. This
warrant was exercised in full during 2004.
In August 2004, the Company issued a warrant to SCF to purchase
up to 3,105,600 shares of the Companys common stock
at an exercise price of $5.15 per share at any time through
August 31, 2007 and a warrant to one of the Companys
minority stockholders to purchase up to 485,250 shares of
the Companys common stock at an exercise price of
$5.15 per share at any time through August 31, 2007.
These warrants were cancelled on September 12, 2005.
Pursuant to the Subordinate Credit Agreement (note 10(e)),
the Company issued detachable warrants to the lenders to
purchase up to 35,909 shares of the Companys common
stock at $5.15 per share at any time through
August 31, 2007. These warrants were cancelled on
September 12, 2005.
Also pursuant to the Subordinate Credit Agreement
(note 10(e)), the Company issued detachable warrants to the
lenders to purchase up to 24,263 shares of the
Companys common stock at $0.01 per share at any time
through August 31, 2007. The fair value of these warrants,
$125,000, was recorded as additional paid-in capital and as a
discount on the liability under the subordinate credit
agreement. These warrants were exercised on September 12,

Pursuant to the Combination, upon payment of the dividend of
$5.24 per share as described in Note 20(c), the terms
of all options outstanding at that time will be adjusted to
offset the decrease in the Companys per share price
attributable to the dividend. The result of this adjustment, if
applied to the options outstanding as at December 31, 2004,
would be to increase the number of options outstanding to
1,129,698 and reduce the average exercise price to $7.20.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)
Years Ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
(In thousands, except as noted and per share data)
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in
calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share at
December 31, 2004 and 2003 were 18,002,373
(2003 7,055,266; 2002 2,756,776) and
18,269,962 (2003 7,272,264; 2002
2,756,776), respectively. The reconciling item between basic and
diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was the
dilutive impact of outstanding restricted stock, stock options
and warrants. The Company excluded the impact of anti-dilutive
potential common shares from the calculation of diluted weighted
average shares for the year ended December 31, 2002. If
these potential common shares were included in the calculation,
diluted weighted average shares would have been approximately
3,031,000 and diluted loss per share would have decreased to a
loss $0.20 per share. The Company had no anti-dilutive potential
common shares for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003 except as related to convertible debentures discussed below.
In 2004, interest expense, net of tax, of $234 (2003
$209; 2002 $171) on the convertible debentures (see
note 11) was added back to the numerator in calculating
diluted earning per share when the impact, if converted, is
dilutive. In 2004, 2003 and 2002, the impact of conversion of
the convertible debentures would have been anti-dilutive.

SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards
for the reporting of information about operating segments,
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
The method of determining what information to report is based on
the way management organizes the operating segments within the
Company for making operational decisions and assessments of
financial performance. The Company evaluates performance and
allocates resources based on net income (loss) before interest
expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and minority
interest (EBITDA). The calculation of EBITDA should
not be viewed as a substitute to calculations under
U.S. GAAP, in particular not net earnings. EBITDA
calculated by the Company may not be comparable to another
company.

Financial instruments: |
The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risks through
a combination of fixed and floating rate borrowings. At
December 31, 2004, 99% of its total long-term debt was in
floating rate borrowings and the convertible debentures bore
interest at a fixed rate of 9%.
|
|
|
(b) Foreign currency rate risk: |
The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations in
relation to its foreign operations. In 2004, approximately 20%
of the Companys operations were conducted in Canadian
dollars and the related balance sheet accounts were denominated
in Canadian dollars.
A significant portion of the Companys trade accounts
receivable are from companies in the oil and gas industry, and
as such, the Company is exposed to normal industry credit risks.
The Company evaluates the credit-worthiness of its major new and
existing customers financial condition and generally does
not require collateral.

of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on
its combined financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

Related party transactions: |
The Company believes all transactions with related parties have
the terms and conditions no less favorable to the Company as
transactions with unaffiliated parties.
The Company has entered into lease agreements for properties
owned by employees and directors of the Company. The leases
expire at different times through June 2014. In 2004, the total
lease expense pursuant to these leases was $1,439
(2003 $151; 2002 $57).
In conjunction with the acquisition of Hamm Co., the Company
became party to an agreement with a customer, majority-owned by
a director of the Company, pursuant to which, at the
customers option, the customer may engage a specified
amount of the Companys assets into a long-term contract at
market rates. The Company provided services aggregating $2,680
and $620 to this customer in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The
Company provided services aggregating $205 during 2004 to a
customer, the principal of whom is a director of the Company.
The Company provided services aggregating $8,400 during 2004 to
a customer which is majority-owned by an officer of one of the
Companys subsidiaries. In 2003 and 2002, the Company
provided wireline and coiled tubing services to a company whose
former chief operating officer is a director of the Company. In
2003, revenue for these services was $836 (2002
$860). At December 31, 2004, $2,940 (2003 $796;
2002 $229) was owed to the Company in trade
receivables for services provided to this company. At
December 31, 2004, the Company also had a payable balance
of $185 with this company.
Effective December 1, 2002, the Company entered into a
management services agreement with an affiliate of its major
shareholder. This agreement provides for monthly payments of $20
for services rendered. In 2004, $60 (2003 $240;
2002 $20) was expensed pursuant to this agreement.
This agreement was terminated March 31, 2004. Effective
November 7, 2003, the Company entered into a financial
advisory services agreement with an affiliate of its major
shareholder, which provided for an upfront fee of $250 and
quarterly payments of $31. This agreement was cancelled
effective September 12, 2005. Effective August 14,

Companys 2004 acquisitions, and management fees of $350
during 2004. This agreement was cancelled effective
September 12, 2005.
In 2003 and 2002, the Company purchased equipment with aggregate
value of $2,378 (2002 $5,800) from a company in
which the Companys major shareholder has an equity
interest. The Companys major shareholder no longer holds
an equity interest in this equipment supplier. The amounts
payable at December 31, 2003 were $1,397. No amounts were
due to this supplier as of December 31, 2002.
The Company is obligated to pay an employee an aggregate
principal amount of $2,200 pursuant to a subordinated promissory
note due March 31, 2009 that was issued by CES in
connection with the acquisition of LEED Energy Services in 2004.
This employee is an officer of one of the Companys
subsidiaries.
The Company maintains defined contribution retirement plans for
substantially all of its U.S. and Canadian employees who have
completed six months of service. Employees may voluntarily
contribute up to a maximum percentage of their salaries to these
plans subject to certain statutory maximum dollar values. The
maximums range from 20% to 60%, depending on the plan. The
Company makes matching contributions at 25% 50% of
the first 6% or 7% of the employees contributions,
depending on the plan. The employer contributions vest
immediately with respect to the Canadian RRSP plan and vest at
varying rates under the U.S. 401(k) plans. Vesting ranges
from immediately to a graduated scale with 100% vesting after
five years of service.
In 2004, the Company recognized an expense of $853
(2003 $331; 2002 $285) related to its
various defined contribution plans.

Recent accounting pronouncements: |
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,
Inventory Costs. SFAS No. 151 amends the
guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43,
Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage), and
generally requires that these amounts be expensed in the period
that the cost arises, rather than being included in the cost of
inventory, thereby requiring that the allocation of fixed
production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on
normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151
becomes effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2005, but earlier
application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of SFAS No. 151 on our financial
statements, but the Company does not expect that it will have a
material impact on its financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets.
SFAS No. 153 amends current guidance related to the
exchange on nonmonetary assets as per APB Opinion No. 29,
Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, to
eliminate an exception that allowed exchange of similar
nonmonetary assets without determination of the fair value of
those assets, and replaced this provision with a general
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial
substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change significantly as a result of the exchange.
SFAS No. 153 becomes effective for nonmonetary asset
exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after
June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the
adoption of this policy will have a material impact on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment, which revises
SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB No. 25.
SFAS No. 123R will require the Company to measure the
cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of
equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the
award, with limited exceptions. The fair value of the award will
be remeasured at each reporting date through the settlement
date, with changes in fair value recognized as compensation
expense of the period. Entities should continue to use an
option-pricing model, adjusted for the unique characteristics of
those instruments, to determine fair value as of the grant date
of the stock options. SFAS No. 123R was to become
effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual
reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. However,
the SEC issued an extension which allows public companies to
defer adoption of SFAS No. 123R until the beginning of
their fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. The
Company has not yet adopted SFAS No. 123R and is
currently evaluating the impact that this policy will have on
its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a Replacement of
APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.
SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application of
changes in accounting principle to prior periods financial
statements, rather than the use of the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle, unless impracticable. If
impracticable to determine the impact on prior periods, then the
new accounting principle should be applied to the balances of
assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest
period for which retrospective application is practicable, with
a corresponding adjustment to equity, unless impracticable for
all periods presented, in which case prospective treatment
should be applied. SFAS No. 154 applies to all
voluntary changes in accounting principle, as well as those
required by the issuance of new accounting pronouncements if no
specific transition guidance is provided. SFAS No. 154
does not change the previously-issued guidance for reporting a
change in accounting estimate or correction of an error.
SFAS No. 154 becomes effective for accounting changes
and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect this policy
to have a material impact on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

The price for common shares was based on internal calculations
of the fair value and consultations with the seller. The
purchase price allocation is preliminary and certain items such
as acquisition costs, final tax basis and fair values of asset
and liabilities as of the acquisition date have not been
finalized.
On September 12, 2005, the Company completed the
Combination of CES, IPS and IEM pursuant to which CES and IEM
stockholders exchanged all of their common stock for common
stock of IPS. CES stockholders received 19.704 shares of
IPS common stock for each share of CES, and IEM stockholders
received 19.410 shares of IPS common stock for each share
of IEM. Subsequent to the Combination, IPS changed its name to
Complete Production Services, Inc. (Complete) and
CES stockholders owned 57.6% of Completes common shares,
IPS stockholders owned 33.2% and the former IEM stockholders
owned 9.2%.
On September 12, 2005, Complete paid a dividend of
$5.24 per share for an aggregate payment of approximately
$146,900 to stockholders of record on that date. Up to an
additional $3,100 will be paid to stockholders in respect of
stock earnable pursuant to contingent consideration provisions
of certain acquisition agreements previously entered into by the
Company.

safe and efficient production from an oil or gas well. The point
at which the completion process begins may depend on the type
and design of the well.
Downhole. Pertaining to or in the wellbore (as opposed to
being on the surface).
Drillpipe. Tubular steel conduit fitted with special
threaded ends called tool joints. The drillpipe connects the
surface equipment with the bottomhole assembly, both to pump
drilling fluid to the bit and to be able to raise, lower and
rotate the bottomhole assembly and bit.

plate (or flapper) that may be pumped through, generally in the
downhole direction, but closes if the fluid attempts to flow
back through the drillstring to the surface.
A-1
Flare gas. A vapor or gas that is burned through a pipe
or burners.
Flowback. The process of allowing fluids to flow from the
well following a treatment, either in preparation for a

short section of heavy wall tubular with a machined internal
surface that provides a seal area and a locking profile.
Live-well. A well that is flowing or has the ability to
flow into the wellbore.
Log. The measurement versus depth or time, or both, of
one or more physical quantities in or around a well. The term
comes from the word log used in the sense of a

applications where drilling safety or efficiency is enhanced by
cooling the drilling fluid.
Nitrogen unit. A high-pressure pump or compressor unit
capable of delivering high-purity nitrogen gas for use in oil or
gas wells.
Overshots. A downhole tool used in fishing operations to
engage on the outside surface of a tube or tool.
Packer. A downhole device used in many completions to
isolate the annulus from the production conduit, enabling
controlled production, injection or treatment.
Progressive Cavity (PC) pump. A type of sucker
rod-pumping unit that uses a rotor and a stator. The rotation of
the rod cavity by means of an electric motor at surface causes
the fluid contained in a cavity to flow upward.
Perforating guns. A device used to perforate oil and gas
wells in preparation for production. Perforating guns contain
several shaped explosive charges and are available in a range of
sizes and configurations.
A-2
Perforate. To create holes in the casing or liner to
achieve efficient communication between the reservoir and the
wellbore.
Pipe handling. Equipment used to move and connect
drillpipe.
Plug drilling. The process by which plugs are removed
from the wellbore.
Plugs. A downhole packer assembly used in a well to seal
off or isolate a particular formation for testing, acidizing,
cementing, etc.; also a type of plug used to seal off a well
temporarily while the wellhead is removed.
Plunger lift. An artificial-lift method principally used
in gas wells to unload relatively small volumes of liquid.
Power swivels. On a drilling rig, a swivel is a
mechanical device that must simultaneously suspend the weight of
the drillstring, provide for rotation of the drill string
beneath it while keeping the upper portion stationary, and
permit high-volume flow of high-pressure drilling mud from the
fixed portion to the rotating portion without leaking. Well
service rigs do not have integral swivels; therefore, if
rotation capability for drilling or any other reason is required
on a well service rig, then a power swivel is added to the well
service rig.
Drilling rig. The machine used to drill a wellbore.
Shale. A fine-grained, fissile, sedimentary rock formed
by consolidation of clay- and silt-sized particles into thin,
relatively impermeable layers.
Slickline. A thin non-electric cable used for selective
placement and retrieval of wellbore hardware, such as plugs,
gauges and valves. Valves and sleeves can also be adjusted using
slickline tools.
Sliding sleeves. Completion devices that can be operated
to provide a flow path between the production conduit and the
annulus.
Snubbing. The act of putting drillpipe or tubing into the
wellbore when the blowout preventers (BOPs) are closed and
pressure is contained in the well.
Stabilizers. A bottom-hole-assembly component having a
body diameter about the same size as a drill collar, and having
longitudinal or spiral blades that form a larger diameter, often
at or near hole diameter.
Supply stores. Retail stores that sell equipment for use
in oil and gas exploration, development and production.
Swabbing. The act of unloading liquids from the
production tubing to initiate or improve flow from the reservoir.
Tight sands. A type of unconventional tight reservoir.
Tight reservoirs are those which have low permeability, often
quantified as less than 0.1 millidarcies.
Tongs. Large-capacity, self-locking wrenches used to grip
drillstring components and apply torque.
Tubing string. A pipe set inside the well casing, through
which the oil or gas is produced.
Underbalanced. A well condition where the amount of
pressure exerted on a formation is less than the internal fluid
pressure of the formation, enabling formation fluids to enter
the wellbore. The drilling rate typically increases as an
underbalanced condition is approached.
Well casing see Casing.
A-3
Well clean-up. A period of controlled production,
generally following a stimulation treatment, during which time
treatment fluids return from the reservoir formation.
Wellbore. The physical conduit from surface into the
hydrocarbon reservoir.
Whipstock. An inclined wedge placed in a wellbore to
force the drill bit to start drilling in a direction away from
the wellbore axis.

ITEM 14. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(DGCL) provides that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 145
further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any
such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees)
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense
or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court in which such
action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the
Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem
proper. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that
indemnification shall be to the fullest extent permitted by the
DGCL for all our current or former directors or officers. As
permitted by the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation provides
that we will indemnify our directors against liability to us or
our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except (1) for any breach of the
directors duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders,
(2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional
II-1
misconduct or knowing violation of law, (3) under
Section 174 of the DGCL or (4) for any transaction
from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.
We have also entered into indemnification agreements with all of
our directors and all of our executive officers (including each
of our named executive officers). These indemnification
agreements are intended to permit indemnification to the fullest
extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL. It is possible
that the applicable law could change the degree to which
indemnification is expressly permitted.
The indemnification agreements cover expenses (including
attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement incurred as a result of the fact that such person, in
his or her capacity as a director or officer, is made or
threatened to be made a party to any suit or proceeding. The
indemnification agreements generally cover claims relating to
the fact that the indemnified party is or was an officer,
director, employee or agent of us or any of our affiliates, or
is or was serving at our request in such a position for another
entity. The indemnification agreements also obligate us to
promptly advance all reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with any claim. The indemnitee is, in turn, obligated to
reimburse us for all amounts so advanced if it is later
determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification. The indemnification provided under the
indemnification agreements is not exclusive of any other
indemnity rights; however, double payment to the indemnitee is
prohibited.
We are not obligated to indemnify the indemnitee with respect to
claims brought by the indemnitee against:
|
|
|
|
|
claims regarding the indemnitees rights under the
indemnification agreement; |
|
|
|
claims to enforce a right to indemnification under any statute
or law; and |
|
|
|
counter-claims against us in a proceeding brought by us against
the indemnitee; or |
|
|
|
|
|
any other person, except for claims approved by our board of
directors. |
We have obtained director and officer liability insurance for
the benefit of each of the above indemnitees. These policies
include coverage for losses for wrongful acts and omissions and
to ensure our performance under the indemnification agreements.
Each of the indemnitees are named as an insured under such
policies and provided with the same rights and benefits as are
accorded to the most favorably insured of our directors and
officers.

Certain of the exhibits filed herewith contain
representations and warranties made by us or our subsidiaries to
other parties. The assertions embodied in those representations
and warranties are in certain cases qualified by information in
confidential disclosure schedules. While we do not believe that
the disclosure schedules contain information that the securities
laws require to be publicly disclosed, the disclosure schedules
do contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates
exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in
the applicable exhibits. Accordingly, you should not rely on the
representations and warranties as characterizations of the
actual state of facts, since they are modified by the underlying
disclosure schedules. Moreover, information concerning the
subject matter of the representations and warranties may have
changed since the date of the applicable exhibit, which
subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in this
registration statement.
b. Financial Statement Schedules:
None
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
|
|
|
(a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the provisions described in Item 14, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue. |
|
|
(b) To provide to the underwriters at the closing specified
in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the
underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. |
|
|
(c) For purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of
prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in
reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of
prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act
shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of
the time it was declared effective. |
|
|
(d) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that
contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |

amended, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
