ORGANIZATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Company
Key
Energy Services, Inc. is a Maryland corporation that was organized in
April 1977 and commenced operations in July 1978 under the name
National Environmental Group, Inc. We emerged from a prepackaged
bankruptcy plan in December 1992 as Key Energy Group, Inc. On
December 9, 1998, we changed our name to Key Energy Services, Inc. (Key
or the Company). We believe that we are now the leading onshore, rig-based
well servicing contractor in the United States. From 1994 through 2002, we grew
rapidly through a series of over 100 acquisitions, and today we provide a
complete range of well services to major oil companies and independent oil and
natural gas production companies, including rig-based well maintenance,
workover, well completion and recompletion services, oilfield transportation
services, cased-hole electric wireline services and ancillary oilfield
services, fishing and rental services and pressure pumping services. During
2006 and through the second quarter of 2007, Key conducted well servicing
operations onshore in the continental United States in the following regions:
Gulf Coast (including South Texas, Central Gulf Coast of Texas and South
Louisiana), Permian Basin of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico, Mid-Continent
(including the Anadarko, Hugoton and Arkoma Basins and the ArkLaTex and North
Texas regions), Four Corners (including the San Juan, Piceance, Uinta, and
Paradox Basins), the Appalachian Basin, Rocky Mountains (including the Denver-Julesberg,
Powder River, Wind River, Green River and Williston Basins), and California
(the San Joaquin Basin), and internationally in Argentina. During the first
quarter of 2007, we were awarded a contract by PEMEX to provide well servicing
activities in the Northern region of Mexico.
Operations in Mexico commenced in the second quarter of 2007. We also provide limited onshore drilling
services in the Rocky Mountains, the Appalachian Basin and in Argentina. During
2006 and through the second quarter of 2007, we conducted pressure pumping and
cementing operations in a number of major domestic producing basins including
California, the Permian Basin, the San Juan Basin, the Mid-Continent region,
and in the Barnett Shale of North Texas. Our fishing and rental services are
located primarily in the Gulf Coast and Permian Basin regions of Texas, as well
as in California and the Mid-Continent region.
Basis
of Presentation
The
filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was delayed due to our restatement
and financial reporting process for periods ending December 31, 2003, which
began in March 2004. That process was completed on October 19, 2006. Our 2003
Financial and Informational Report on Form 8-K/A, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 26, 2006, included an audited 2003
consolidated balance sheet which presented our financial condition as of
December 31, 2003 in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
We did not present our other consolidated financial statements in accordance
with GAAP as we were unable to determine with sufficient certainty the
appropriate period(s) in 2003 or before in which to record certain write offs
and write downs that were identified in our restatement process. Our former
registered public accounting firm expressed an unqualified opinion that the
2003 balance sheet fairly presented our financial condition on December 31, 2003
in accordance with GAAP. The firm also audited the other financial statements
presented in the 2003 Financial and Informational Report. It opined that the
financial statements other than the 2003 balance sheet did not fairly present
our financial condition or results of operations or cash flows for the periods
covered in accordance with GAAP. Investors should refer to the 2003 Financial
and Informational Report for a full description of the restatement and
financial reporting process for periods prior to 2004. On August 13, 2007, we filed our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which contained
audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and
2006, and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for 2005 and 2006. Due to the delay in the filing of the
Quarterly Report, certain information presented in this report relates to
significant events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2007.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this
report have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for interim
financial reporting prescribed by the SEC.
The December 31, 2006 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data
was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all the
disclosures required by GAAP. These
interim financial statements should be read together with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
8
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report
include all material adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim
periods presented herein. The results of
operations for the interim periods presented in this report are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other interim
period due to fluctuations in demand for our services, timing of maintenance
and other expenditures, and other factors.
The
preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to develop
estimates and to make assumptions that affect our financial position, results
of operations and cash flows. These estimates also impact the nature and extent
of our disclosure, if any, of our contingent liabilities. Among other things,
we use estimates to (1) analyze assets for possible impairment, (2) determine
depreciable lives for our assets, (3) assess future tax exposure and realization
of deferred tax assets, (4) determine amounts to accrue for contingencies, (5)
value tangible and intangible assets, and (6) assess workers compensation,
vehicular liability, self-insured risk accruals and other insurance reserves.
Our actual results may differ materially from these estimates. We believe that
our estimates are reasonable.
Due to
the delay in the filing of this report as discussed above, additional
information regarding certain liabilities and uncertainties that existed as of
the date of this report has become available, either through additional facts
about, or the ultimate settlement or resolution of, the liability or
uncertainty. We have taken any
additional information that has come to light into account in our estimates and
disclosure of any potential liabilities or other contingencies as of the date
of this report, in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS 5). The discussion of our commitments and contingencies
(see Note 6) should be read in conjunction with the corresponding disclosures
made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current
period financial statement presentation.
These reclassifications primarily relate to the recasting of prior
periods to conform to a realignment of certain positions that were previously
reported as a component of direct expenses that are now reported as general and
administrative. These reclassifications
had no affect on previously reported net income. The following tables summarize the effects of
these reclassifications on previously reported amounts (in thousands):

We
apply the provisions of EITF Issue 04-10, Determining Whether to
Aggregate Operating Segments That Do Not Meet Quantitative Thresholds (EITF 04-10)
in our segment reporting in Note 8Segment Information. Our contract
drilling operations do not meet the quantitative thresholds as described in
Statement of Financial Accounting
9
Standards
No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information (SFAS 131), and, under the provisions of EITF 04-10,
since the operating segments meet the aggregation criteria, we have combined
information about this segment with other similar segments that individually do
not meet the quantitative thresholds in our Well Servicing reportable segment.
Principles
of Consolidation
Within
our consolidated financial statements, we include our accounts and the accounts
of our majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. We eliminate
intercompany accounts and transactions. We account for our interest in entities
for which we do not have significant control or influence under the cost
method. When we have an interest in an entity and can exert significant
influence but not control, we account for that interest using the equity
method. See Note 4Investment in IROC Energy Services Corp.
In
determining whether we should consolidate an entity within our financial
statements, we apply the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (as
amended), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46R). FIN
46R requires that an equity investor in a variable interest entity have
significant equity at risk and hold a controlling interest, evidenced by voting
rights, and absorb a majority of the entitys expected losses or receive a
majority of the entitys expected returns, or both. If the equity investor is
unable to evidence these characteristics, the entity that retains these
ownership characteristics is required to consolidate the variable interest
entities created or obtained after March 15, 2004.
Revenue
Recognition
Well Servicing Rigs.
Well servicing revenue consists primarily of
maintenance services, workover services, completion services and plugging and
abandonment services. We recognize revenue when services are performed,
collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. These criteria are
typically met at the time we complete a job for a customer. Primarily, we price
well servicing rig services by the hour of service performed. Depending on the
type of job, we may charge by the project or by the day.
Oilfield Transportation.
Oilfield transportation revenue consists
primarily of fluid and equipment transportation services and frac tanks which
are used in conjunction with fluid hauling services. We recognize revenue when
services are performed, collection of the relevant receivable is probable,
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the price is fixed or
determinable. These criteria are typically met at the time we complete a job
for a customer. Primarily, we price oilfield trucking services by the hour or
by the quantities hauled.
Pressure Pumping and Fishing and Rental Services.
Pressure pumping and fishing and rental
services include well stimulation and cementing services and recovering lost or
stuck equipment in the wellbore. We recognize revenue when services are
performed, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. These
criteria are typically met at the time we complete a job for a customer.
Generally, we price fishing and rental tool services by the day and pressure
pumping services by the job.
Ancillary Oilfield Services.
Ancillary oilfield services include services
such as wireline operations, wellsite construction, roustabout services, foam
units and air drilling services. We recognize revenue when services are
performed, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. These
criteria are typically met at the time we complete a job for a customer. We
price ancillary oilfield services by the hour, day or project depending on the
type of services performed.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We
consider short-term investments with an original maturity of less than three
months to be cash equivalents. None of our cash is restricted and we have not
entered into any compensating balance arrangements. However, at June 30, 2007,
all of our obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (hereinafter
defined) were secured by most of our assets, including assets held by our
subsidiaries, which includes our cash and cash equivalents. We restrict
investment of cash to financial institutions with high credit standing and
limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution.
10
Investment
in Debt and Equity Securities
We
account for investments in debt and equity securities under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115). Under
SFAS 115, investments are classified as either trading, available for
sale, or held to maturity, depending on managements intent regarding the investment.
Securities
classified as trading are carried at fair value on the Companys Consolidated
Balance Sheets, with any unrealized holding gains or losses reported currently
in earnings on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Securities classified
as available for sale are carried at fair value on the Companys Consolidated
Balance Sheets, with any unrealized holding gains or losses, net of tax,
reported as a separate component of shareholders equity in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income.
As of
June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had no investments in debt or
equity securities that were classified as trading or held to maturity. In
the third quarter of 2006, the Company began investing in Auction-Rate
Securities (ARS) and Variable-Rate Demand Notes (VRDN). These are
investments in long-term bonds whose returns are tied to short-term interest
rates that are periodically reset, with periods ranging from 7 days to
6 months. As a result of the long-term nature of the underlying security
(bonds with contractual lives ranging from 20 to 30 years), the Company
accounts for ARS and VRDN investments as available for sale securities. Because the Company can liquidate its
position in an ARS or VRDN investment on an interest reset date, and because
management does not intend to hold these investments beyond one year, they are
classified as current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
In
addition to the ARS and VRDN investments, in the third quarter of 2006 the
Company began to invest in 270-day commercial paper and certain other bond
investments. These instruments are treated as available for sale securities
and are carried at fair value as short-term investments on the Companys
Consolidated Balance Sheets, because their maturity dates are within one year
of the date of investment. Any unrealized holding gains or losses on these
securities are recorded net of tax as a separate component of stockholders
equity in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income until the date of maturity, at
which point any gains or losses are reclassified into earnings. We use the
specific identification method when determining the amount of realized gain or
loss upon the date of maturity. The aggregate fair value of our available for
sale investments as of June 30, 2007 was approximately $115.0 million.
Inventories
Inventories,
which consist primarily of equipment parts for use in our well servicing
operations, sand and chemicals for our pressure pumping operations, and
supplies held for consumption, are valued at the lower of average cost or
market.
Property
and Equipment
Asset Retirement Obligations.
In connection with our well servicing
activities, we operate a number of Salt Water Disposal (SWD) facilities. Our
operations involve the transportation, handling and disposal of fluids in our
SWD facilities that have been determined to be harmful to the environment. SWD
facilities used in connection with our fluid hauling operations are subject to
future costs associated with the abandonment of these properties. As a result,
we have incurred costs associated with the proper storage and disposal of these
materials. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143),
we recognize a liability for the fair value of all legal obligations associated
with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and capitalize an equal
amount as a cost of the asset. We depreciate the additional cost over the
estimated useful life of the assets. Significant judgment is involved in
estimating future cash flows associated with such obligations, as well as the
ultimate timing of those cash flows. If our estimates of the amount or timing
of the cash flows change, such changes may have a material impact on our
results of operations. Amortization of
the assets associated with the asset retirement obligations was $0.1 million
and $0.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2007, and 2006,
respectively. Amortization of the assets
associated with the asset retirement obligations was $0.3 million and
$0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and 2006,
respectively.
Asset and Investment Impairments.
We apply Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144) in reviewing our long-lived assets and
investments for possible impairment. This statement requires that long-lived
assets held and used by us, including certain identifiable intangibles, be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of
applying this statement, we group our long-lived assets on a
division-by-division basis and compare the estimated future cash flows of each
division to the divisions net carrying value. The division level represents
the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available. We would
record an impairment charge,
11
reducing the
divisions net carrying value to an estimated fair value, if its estimated
future cash flows were less than the divisions net carrying value. Trigger
events, as defined in SFAS 144, that cause us to evaluate our fixed
assets for recoverability and possible impairment may include market conditions,
such as adverse changes in the prices of oil and natural gas, which could
reduce the fair value of certain of our property and equipment. The development
of future cash flows and the determination of fair value for a division
involves significant judgment and estimates. As of June 30, 2007 and December
31, 2006, no trigger events had been identified by management.
Change in
Useful Lives.
In the
first quarter of 2007, management reassessed the estimated useful lives
assigned to all of its equipment due to the higher activity and utilization
levels experienced under recent market conditions. As a result, the maximum
estimated useful lives of certain assets were adjusted to reflect higher
utilization. Included in this change is a reduction in the useful life expected
for a well service rig, which was reduced from an average expected life of 17
years to 15 years. Management also determined that the life assigned to a
self-remanufactured well service rig should be the same as the 15-year life
assigned to a well service rig acquired from third parties.
The following
table identifies the impact of this change in depreciation and amortization
expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 (in thousands):

Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of acquisition
costs over the fair value of the net assets acquired. We account for goodwill
and other intangible assets under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142).
SFAS 142 eliminates amortization for goodwill and other intangible assets
with indefinite lives. Intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual,
legal, or other means will continue to be amortized over their expected useful
lives. Goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization are
tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. SFAS 142 requires
a two-step process for testing impairment. First, the fair value of each
reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an indication
of impairment exists. If impairment is indicated, then the fair value of the
reporting units goodwill is determined by allocating the units fair value to
its assets and liabilities (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if
the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The amount of
impairment for goodwill is measured as the excess of its carrying value over
its fair value. We conduct annual impairment assessments, the most recent
affecting this report as of December 31, 2006. The assessments did not
result in an indication of goodwill impairment.
Our intangible assets subject to amortization under
SFAS 142
consist of noncompete agreements and patents and
trademarks. Amortization expense for noncompete agreements is calculated using
the straight-line method over the period of
12
the agreement,
ranging from three to seven years. The cost and accumulated amortization are
retired when the noncompete agreement is fully amortized and no longer
enforceable. Amortization expense for patents and trademarks is calculated
using the straight-line method over the useful life of the patent or trademark,
ranging from five to seven years.
Amortization of noncompete agreements for the quarters ended June 30,
2007 and 2006 was $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Amortization of patents and trademarks for
the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million,
respectively. Amortization of noncompete
agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $0.8 million and
$1.2 million, respectively. Amortization
of patents and trademarks for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was
$0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company capitalized approximately
$0.3 million of costs associated with patents and trademarks. No costs associated with noncompete
agreements were capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
The
Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) as amended
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, No. 138 and
No. 149 (SFAS 137, SFAS 138, and SFAS 149, respectively;
collectively, SFAS 133, as amended) in accounting for derivative instruments.
SFAS 133, as amended establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and hedging activities. It requires the recognition of all
derivative instruments as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and
measurement of those instruments at fair value. The accounting treatment of
changes in fair value is dependent upon whether or not a derivative instrument
is designated as a hedge, and if so, the type of hedge. For derivatives
designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair
value of the hedging instrument is recognized in other comprehensive income until
the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Any ineffective portion of changes
in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recognized currently in
earnings.
To
account for a financial instrument as a hedge, the contract must meet the
following criteria: the underlying asset or liability must expose the Company
to risk that is not offset in another asset or liability, the hedging contract
must reduce that risk, and the instrument must be properly designated as a
hedge at the inception of the contract and throughout the contract period. To
be an effective hedge, there must be a high correlation between changes in the
fair value of the financial instrument and the fair value of the underlying
asset or liability, such that changes in the market value of the financial
instrument and the anticipated future cash flows would be offset by the effect
of price changes on the exposed items.
In
March 2006, under the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, the
Company was required to mitigate the risk of changes in future cash flows posed
by changes in interest rates associated with the variable-rate interest term
loan portion of our Senior Secured Credit Facility. We entered into two
interest rate swap arrangements in order to offset this risk. The swaps are classified
as derivative instruments and were designated at inception as cash flow hedges.
Management believes that these instruments were highly effective at inception
to offset changes in the future cash flows of the underlying liabilities and
will continue to be highly effective throughout the life of the hedge. See
Note 3Derivative Financial Instruments for further discussion.
Earnings
Per Share
We
present earnings per share information in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share
(SFAS 128). Under SFAS 128, basic earnings per common share is
determined by dividing net earnings applicable to common stock by the weighted
average number of common shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per common share is based on the increased number of shares that would
be outstanding assuming conversion of dilutive outstanding convertible
securities using the as if converted method.

The
diluted earnings per share calculation for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and
2006 excludes the potential exercise of 20,000 and zero stock options,
respectively, because the effects of such exercises on earnings per share in
those periods would be anti-dilutive.
The diluted earnings per share calculation for the six months ended June
30, 2007 and 2006 excludes the potential exercise of 19,000 and zero stock
options, respectively, because the effects of such exercises on earnings per
share in those periods would be anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which we adopted on January 1, 2006. Prior
to January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based payments under the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), which was permitted by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (SFAS 123). We adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R)
using the modified prospective transition method.
Beginning in June 2005 we began making grants of
restricted shares of common stock to certain of our employees and non-employee
directors. These shares have vesting
periods ranging from zero to three years. Subject to the provisions of SFAS
123(R), the Company recognizes expense in earnings equal to the fair value of
the shares vesting during the period, net of actual and estimated forfeitures.
In December 2006, the Company began granting Phantom
Shares to certain of its employees, which vest ratably over a four-year period
from the date of grant. The Phantom
Shares convey the right to the grantee to receive a cash payment on each
anniversary date of the grant equal to the fair market value of the Phantom
Shares vesting on that date. Grantees
are not permitted to defer the payout to a later date. The Phantom Shares qualify as a liability
type award under SFAS 123(R); as such, the Company accounts for the Phantom
Shares at fair value, with an offsetting liability recorded on our Consolidated
Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair
value of the liability, net of estimated and actual forfeitures, are recorded
currently in earnings as compensation expense.

Foreign
Currency Gains and Losses
The
local currency is the functional currency for our foreign operations in
Argentina and Mexico. The cumulative translation gains and losses, resulting
from translating each foreign subsidiarys financial statements from the
functional currency to U.S. dollars, are included as a separate component of
stockholders equity in other comprehensive income until a partial or complete
sale or liquidation of our net investment in the foreign entity.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
FIN
No. 48 and FSP FIN 48-1.
On
July 12, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN
48), which provides clarification of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
with respect to the recognition of income tax benefits of uncertain tax
positions in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires that uncertain tax
positions be reviewed and assessed, with recognition and measurement of the tax
benefit based on a more-likely-than-not standard.
In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No.
FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FSP FIN
48-1). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance
on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively
settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. In determining whether a tax position has been
effectively settled, entities must evaluate (i) whether taxing authorities have
completed their examination procedures; (ii) whether the entity intends to
appeal or litigate any aspect of a tax position included in a completed
evaluation; and (iii) whether it is remote that a taxing authority would
examine or re-examine any aspect of a taxing position. FSP FIN 48-1 is to be applied upon the
initial adoption of FIN 48.
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1
on January 1, 2007 and recorded a $1.3 million decrease to the balance of
our retained earnings as of January 1, 2007 to reflect the cumulative
effect of adopting these standards. See
Note 2Income Taxes for further discussion of the impact of the adoption
of these standards.
FSP EITF 00-19-2.
In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (FSP
EITF 00-19-2). FSP EITF 00-19-2 addresses accounting for Registration Payment
Arrangements (RPAs), which are provisions within financial instruments such
as equity shares, warrants or debt instruments in which the issuer agrees to
file a registration statement and to have that registration statement
declared effective by the SEC within a specified grace period. If the
registration statement is not declared effective within the grace period or its
effectiveness is not maintained for the period of time specified in the RPA,
the issuer must compensate its counterparty. The FASB Staff concluded that the
contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer
consideration under a RPA should be recognized as a liability and measured in
accordance with SFAS 5 and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable
Estimation of the Amount of a Loss, and that the RPA should be recognized and
measured separately from the instrument to which the RPA is attached.
In January 1999, the Company completed the
private placement of 150,000 units (the Units) consisting of
$150.0 million of 14% Senior Subordinated Notes due January 25, 2009
(the 14% Senior Subordinated Notes) and 150,000 warrants to purchase an
aggregate of approximately 2.2 million shares of the Companys common stock at
an exercise price of $4.88125 per share (the Warrants). As of June 30, 2007,
63,500 Warrants had been exercised, leaving 86,500 Warrants outstanding that
were exercisable for an aggregate of approximately 1.3 million shares.
Under the terms of the
Warrants, we are required to maintain an effective registration statement
covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise. If we are unable to
maintain an effective registration statement, we are required to make
semiannual liquidated damages payments for periods in which an effective
registration statement is not maintained. Due to our failure to file our SEC
reports in a timely manner, we have been unable to maintain an effective
registration statement covering the Warrants. The requirement to make
liquidated damages payments under the terms of the Warrant agreement
constitutes a RPA under the provisions of FSP EITF 00-19-2. As prescribed by
the transition provisions of FSP EITF 00-19-2, on January 1, 2007, the Company
recorded a current liability of approximately $1.0 million on its balance
sheet, which is equivalent to the payments for the Warrant RPA for one year,
and we recorded an offsetting adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings. This amount represents the low
end of a range of possible outcomes. If we continue to be unable to maintain an
effective registration statement with the SEC, the total amount of liquidated
damages payable under the Warrant RPA during 2007 could be as high as
$1.4 million. Any subsequent changes in the carrying value of the RPA
liability will be recorded in earnings as other income and expense.
SFAS 157.
In September 2006, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosure about the information
used to measure fair value. The statement applies whenever other statements
require or permit assets or
15
liabilities to be
measured at fair value. SFAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value
accounting in any new circumstances and is effective for the Company for the
year ended December 31, 2008 and for interim periods included in that
year, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is evaluating the effect of
adoption of SFAS 157 on its financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
SFAS 158.
In September 2006, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan
amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 123(R) (SFAS 158).
SFAS 158 requires an entity that is the sponsor of a plan within the scope
of the statement to (a) recognize on its balance sheet as an asset a plans
over-funded status or as a liability such plans under-funded status;
(b) measure a plans assets and obligations as of the end of the entitys
fiscal year; and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of its plans
in the year in which changes occur through adjustments to other comprehensive
income. We adopted the provisions of this standard on December 31, 2006.
Because the Company is not a sponsor of a defined postretirement benefit plan
as defined by SFAS 158, the adoption of this standard did not have a
material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows.
FSP AUG
AIR-1.
In September 2006,
the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. AUG AIR-1 (FSP AUG AIR-1), which
addresses the accounting for planned major maintenance activities. FSP AUG
AIR-1 prohibits the use of the accrue-in-advance method of accounting for
planned major maintenance activities in annual and interim financial reporting
periods. We adopted FSP AUG AIR-1 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of this standard did not
materially impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
SFAS 159.
In February 2007, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value
Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits companies to
choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value
(the Fair Value Option). Companies choosing such an election would report
unrealized gains and losses on items for which the Fair Value Option has been
elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting period. This standard is
effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after
November 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not anticipated to
have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows.
2.
INCOME
TAXES
The Companys effective tax
rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 38.5% and 38.0%,
respectively. The primary difference
between the statutory rate of 35% and our effective tax rate relates to state
taxes, which increased during 2007 primarily due to the new Texas Margins Tax,
which took effect on January 1, 2007.
FIN No. 48 and FSP FIN 48-1.
On July 12, 2006,
the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which
provides clarification of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes with respect
to the recognition of income tax benefits of uncertain tax positions in the
financial statements. FIN 48 requires that uncertain tax positions be reviewed
and assessed, with recognition and measurement of the tax benefit based on a more-likely-than-not
standard.
In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No.
FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FSP FIN
48-1). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance
on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively
settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax
benefits. In determining whether a tax
position has been effectively settled, entities must evaluate (i) whether
taxing authorities have completed their examination procedures; (ii) whether
the entity intends to appeal or litigate any aspect of a tax position included
in a completed evaluation; and (iii) whether it is remote that a taxing
authority would examine or re-examine any aspect of a taxing position. FSP FIN 48-1 is to be applied upon the
initial adoption of FIN 48.
We adopted the
provisions of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 on January 1, 2007 and recorded a
$1.3 million decrease to the balance of our retained earnings as of
January 1, 2007 to reflect the cumulative effect of adopting these
standards. As of January 1, 2007, we had
approximately $3.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, which, if recognized,
would impact our effective tax rate. We are subject to U.S. Federal Income Tax
as well as income taxes in multiple state jurisdictions. We have substantially concluded all U.S.
federal and state income tax matters through the year ended December 31, 2002.
We recognize
accrued interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as
income tax expense. We have accrued
approximately $1.3 million and $1.0 million for the payment of interest and
penalties as of June 30, 2007 and January 1, 2007, respectively. We do not expect any substantial changes
within the next 12 months related to uncertain tax positions.

DERIVATIVE
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We are
exposed to risks due to potential changes in interest rates associated with the
variable-rate interest term loan of our Senior Secured Credit Facility. As of
June 30, 2007, our variable-rate interest debt instruments comprised 100% of
our total debt, excluding our capital lease obligations. Based on this
exposure, and because of provisions contained in our Senior Secured Credit
Facility, on March 10, 2006 we entered into two $100.0 million
notional amount interest rate swaps to effectively fix the interest rate on a
portion of our variable-rate debt. These swaps meet the criteria of derivative
instruments.
We
account for derivative instruments using the guidance provided by
SFAS 133, as amended. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. It requires the
recognition of all derivative instruments as assets and liabilities on the
balance sheet and measurement of those instruments at fair value. The
accounting treatment of changes in fair value is dependent upon whether or not
a derivative instrument is designated as a hedge, and if so, the type of hedge.
For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of a
change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recognized in other
comprehensive income until the settlement of the forecasted hedged transaction.
Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument
is recognized currently in earnings.
The
Company uses a historic simulation based on regression analysis to assess the
effectiveness of the swaps as a hedge of the future cash flows of the
forecasted transaction, both on a historical and prospective basis. The
simulation regresses the monthly changes in the cash flows associated with the
hedging instrument and the hedged item. The results of the regression indicated
that the swaps were highly effective in offsetting the future cash flows of the
items being hedged and could be reasonably assumed to be highly effective on an
ongoing basis. Based on the results of this analysis and the Companys intent
to use the instruments to reduce exposure to changes in future cash flows
attributable to interest payments, the Company elected to account for the swaps
as cash flow hedges.
The
measurement of hedge ineffectiveness is based on a comparison of the cumulative
change in the fair value of the actual swap designated as the hedging
instrument and the cumulative change in fair value of a perfectly effective
hypothetical derivative (Perfect Hypothetical Derivative) (as defined in
Derivatives Implementation Group Issue G7). The perfectly effective
hypothetical swap mimics the terms of the debt with a fixed interest rate
assumed to be the same as the hedge instrument. This method of measuring
ineffectiveness is known as the Hypothetical Derivative Method. Under this
method, the actual swap is recorded at fair value on the Companys Consolidated
Balance Sheets and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income is adjusted to a
balance that reflects the lesser of either the cumulative change in the fair
value of the actual swap or the cumulative change in the fair value of the
Perfect Hypothetical Derivative. The amount of ineffectiveness, if any, is
equal to the excess of the cumulative change in the fair value of the actual
swap over the cumulative change in the fair value of the Perfect Hypothetical
Derivative, and is recorded currently in earnings as a component of other
income and expense on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Income.
As of
June 30, 2007, we recorded $0.3 million in current assets and $0.2 million
in long-term assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the fair value
of our derivative instruments on that date. During the six months ended June
30, 2007, amounts recorded related to the ineffective portion of our cash flow
hedges were less than $0.1 million. No amounts were excluded from the
assessment of hedge effectiveness related to the hedge of future cash flows in
any of the periods. During the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007, no amounts were reclassified to earnings in
connection with forecasted transactions whose occurrence was no longer
considered probable.
4.
INVESTMENT
IN IROC ENERGY SERVICES CORP.
As of June 30,
2007 and December 31, 2006, we owned 8,734,469 shares of IROC Energy Services Corp., formerly known
as IROC Systems Corp. (IROC), an Alberta-based oilfield services company.
This represented approximately 19.7% and 23.0% of IROCs outstanding common
stock on June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. IROC shares trade
on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange and had a closing price of $1.98 and
$2.10 CDN per share on June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Mr. William Austin, our Chief Financial
Officer, and Mr. Newton W. Wilson III, our General Counsel, serve on the board
of directors of IROC.
We have
significant influence over the operations of IROC through our ownership
interest and representation on IROCs board of directors, but do not control
it. We account for our investment in
IROC using the equity method. Our
ownership interest percentage in IROC declined as a result of IROC issuing
additional common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2007. Our
investment in IROC totaled $10.9 million and $10.7 million as of June 30, 2007
and December 31,
17
2006, respectively, and
is recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of
other non-current assets. The pro-rata
share of IROCs earnings and losses to which we are entitled are recorded in
our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of other
income and expense, with an offsetting increase or decrease to the value of our
investment, as appropriate. Any earnings
distributed back to us from IROC in the form of dividends would result in a
decrease in the value of our equity investment.
We
recorded $0.2 million of income and $0.2 million of loss, respectively, related
to our investment in IROC for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. During those time periods, no earnings were
distributed back to us by IROC in the form of dividends.

Senior
Secured Credit Facility
On
July 29, 2005, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the Senior Secured
Credit Facility). The Senior Secured Credit Facility consists of (i) a
revolving credit facility of up to an aggregate principal amount of
$65.0 million, which will mature on July 29, 2010, (ii) a senior
term loan facility in the original aggregate amount of $400.0 million,
which will mature on June 30, 2012, and (iii) a prefunded letter of
credit facility in the aggregate amount of $82.3 million, which will
mature on July 29, 2010. The revolving credit facility includes a
$25.0 million sub-facility for additional letters of credit. The
proceeds from the term loan facility, along with cash on hand were used to
refinance our then-existing 8.375% Senior Notes and our then-existing 6.375%
Senior Notes. The revolving credit facility may be used for general corporate
purposes.
Borrowings
under the Senior Secured Credit Facility through December 31, 2005 bore
interest upon the outstanding principal balance, at the Companys option, at
the prime rate plus a margin of 1.75% or a Eurodollar rate plus a margin of
2.75%. These margins were increased on December 31, 2005 by 0.50% and
again on March 31, 2006 by 0.50% because the Company did not meet certain
filing targets for our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We were also
required to pay certain fees in connection with the credit facilities,
including a commitment fee as a percentage of aggregate commitments.
The
Senior Secured Credit Facility contains certain covenants, which, among other
things, require us to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (defined generally
as the ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA) as follows:
Fiscal Quarter
|
|
Consolidated
Leverage Ratio
|
|
Fourth Fiscal
Quarter, 2005
|
|
3.5 : 1.0
|
|
First Fiscal

|
|
3.0 : 1.0
|
|
Second Fiscal
Quarter, 2006
|
|
3.0 : 1.0
|
|
Third Fiscal Quarter,
2006 and thereafter
|
|
2.75 : 1.0
|
|
The
Senior Secured Credit Facility also requires that we maintain a consolidated
interest coverage ratio (defined generally as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA
to consolidated interest expense) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter,
beginning with the fourth fiscal quarter of 2005, of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.
Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, such as payment default, our
obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility may be accelerated.
All
obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by most of
our subsidiaries and are secured by most of our assets, including our accounts
receivable, inventory and equipment.
18
First
Amendment to Senior Secured Credit Facility
On
November 3, 2005, we amended the Senior Secured Credit Facility (the First
Amendment) to increase the amount of capital expenditures allowed under the
facility during 2005 and 2006. Under the terms of the First Amendment, we were
allowed to make annual capital expenditures of $175.0 million for 2005 and
$200.0 million for 2006. Additionally, under certain conditions, up to
$25.0 million of the capital expenditure limit, if not spent in the
permitted fiscal year, could be carried over for expenditures in the next
succeeding fiscal year. Previously under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we
were limited to annual capital expenditures of $150.0 million.
Second Amendment to Senior Secured
Credit Facility
On
November 21, 2006, we again amended the Senior Secured Credit Facility (the Second
Amendment) to (i) allow the Company until July 31, 2007 to file its 2006
Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports for 2005 and 2006, and quarterly
reports for 2007 that were then due, and to waive any defaults due to the
failure to file compliant SEC reports for prior periods; (ii) reduce the
Eurodollar interest rate spread from 3.75% to 2.50% and commitment fees from
0.50% to 0.375%; (iii) increase the limitation on annual capital expenditures
through 2009 to $225.0 million; (iv) increase the permitted stock repurchase
basket from $50.0 million to $250.0 million and permit repurchases before the
Company has made all required SEC filings; (v) increase the permitted
acquisitions basket from $50.0 million to $100.0 million; and (vi) eliminate
the provision requiring the Company to prepay the term loan with excess cash
flow. We paid a total of $0.5 million in fees and other expenses in connection
with the Second Amendment.
As of
June 30, 2007, the Company had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility
of the Senior Secured Credit Facility and had $394.0 million borrowed at
three-month Eurodollar rates, plus a margin of 2.50%. As described above,
the Company has interest rate swaps that hedge a portion of the interest rate
expense on the term loan.
On
July 27, 2007, we entered into a third amendment with respect to the Senior
Secured Credit Facility. See Note 9Subsequent
Events, for a discussion of the third amendment.
