FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek”) is a global developer and supplier of drilling and production related products and services. Flotek’s core focus, and that of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”), is oilfield specialty chemicals and logistics, downhole drilling tools and downhole production tools used in the energy and mining industries. The Company also manages automated bulk material handling, loading and blending facilities. Flotek’s products and services help customers drill wells more efficiently, increase production from existing wells and decrease well operating costs. Major customers include leading oilfield service providers, major and independent oil and gas exploration and production companies, and onshore and offshore drilling contractors.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, including selected notes, have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 2. A copy of Flotek’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K may be obtained by visiting www.sec.gov and conducting a search of the Company’s Ticker Symbol: FTK or by visiting the Company’s website, www.flotekind.com. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Note 2—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Application of New Accounting Standard

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-15, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing” which amends or adds certain paragraphs to the related Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”) Topic 470, “Debt.” This standard addresses the accounting for an entity’s own-share lending arrangement initiated in conjunction with convertible debt or another financing offering and the effect a share-lending arrangement has on earnings per share. The guidance also addresses the accounting and earnings per share implications for probable or actual defaults by the share borrower. The new guidance is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.

The Company has applied this guidance to its share lending arrangement which is described in Note 9. The retrospective effect of the adoption of ASU No. 2009-15 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” which amends ASC Topic 310-10 to require increased disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The disclosures as of the end of the reporting period are effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2010, and disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect that adoption of the increased disclosure requirements will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which amends ASC Topic 820-10 to require new disclosures related to the movements in and out of Levels 1, 2, and 3 and clarifies existing disclosures regarding the classification and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about certain Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the guidance regarding disclosure of movements in and out of the fair value measurement levels effective January 1, 2010. Adoption of this standard for these disclosures had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect that adoption, effective January 1, 2011, of the new disclosure requirements regarding Level 3 fair value measurements will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation expense, recorded in cost of revenue which relates directly to activities that generate revenue, amounted to $2.3 million for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and $4.6 million and $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Note 7—Goodwill

The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of every year, and more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company’s external financial reporting and disclosures are based upon its three reportable segments, Drilling Products, Artificial Lift, and Chemicals and Logistics, while its goodwill assessment and managerial analysis is focused upon the Company’s four identifiable reporting units (Drilling Products, Artificial Lift, Chemicals and Logistics and Teledrift). Only two of the Company’s identifiable reporting units, Chemicals and Logistics and Teledrift, have an unamortized goodwill balance at June 30, 2010. Goodwill was not tested for impairment during the three or six months ended June 30, 2010. Company management concluded that there were not changes in market conditions or financial indicators that would indicate a requirement for additional impairment testing of the Company’s remaining goodwill assets.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized $18.5 million of goodwill impairment charges related to its Teledrift reporting unit. Goodwill impairment resulted from a macro-economic decline, in particular, the direct impact the downturn had on the oil and gas industry and affiliated industries, and the Company’s forecast related to its Teledrift reporting unit.

Convertible Notes

The Company’s convertible notes consist of Convertible Senior Notes (the “2008 Notes”) and Convertible Senior Secured Notes (the “2010 Notes”).

On February 14, 2008, the Company issued the 2008 Notes at par, in the aggregate principal amount of $115 million. Net proceeds received from issuance of the 2008 Notes were $111.8 million. The 2008 Notes bear interest at 5.25% and mature on February 15, 2028.

On March 31, 2010, the Company executed an exchange agreement with Whitebox Advisors LLC and a syndicate of lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement related to the Company’s term loan (described below). The exchange agreement permitted each lender to exchange the Company’s 2008 Notes which they held, up to the principal amount of its participation in the new $40 million term loan, for 2010 Notes and shares of the Company’s common stock.

Table of Contents

Upon closing of the exchange, investors received, for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2008 Notes exchanged, (a) 2010 Notes in a principal amount of $900 and (b) $50 in shares of the Company’s common stock (based on the greater of 95% of (1) the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the preceding ten trading days or (2) the closing price of the common stock on the day before the closing). The 2010 Notes have the same maturity date, interest rate, conversion rights, conversion rate, Company redemption rights and guarantees as the 2008 Notes, except that in addition they are also secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The Company exchanged $40 million of 2008 Notes for the aggregate consideration of $36 million in 2010 Notes and $2 million in shares of the Company’s common stock. On March 31, 2010, the Company issued 1,568,867 shares of common stock to satisfy the common stock component of the exchange. The Company has treated this transaction as an exchange for accounting purposes. As a result, no gain or loss was recognized at the time of the transaction, and the difference between the exchanged debt and its carrying amount has been recorded as a reduction of the discount being amortized over the period the convertible debt is expected to be outstanding. The Company has capitalized commitment fees which are being amortized over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding using the effective interest method. Third-party transaction costs incurred in connection with this exchange transaction of $0.8 million have been expensed.

The 2008 Notes and the 2010 Notes are guaranteed by most of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company is a holding company with no independent assets or operations, the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, and any subsidiaries of the Company that are not subsidiary guarantors are “minor” subsidiaries as such term is defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC. The agreements governing the Company’s long-term indebtedness do not contain any significant restrictions on the ability of the Company or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

Interest on the 2008 Notes and the 2010 Notes accrues at 5.25% per annum, and is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The Company is also required to pay contingent interest to holders of the 2008 Notes and the 2010 Notes during any six-month period from an interest payment date to, but excluding, the following interest payment date, commencing with the six-month period beginning on February 15, 2013, if the trading price of a note for each of the five trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the first day of the relevant six-month period equals 120% or more of the principal amount of the note. The amount of contingent interest payable per note with respect to any such period will be equal to 0.5% per annum of the average trading price of such note for the five trading days referred to above.

The 2008 Notes and 2010 Notes mature on February 15, 2028. On or after February 15, 2013, the Company may redeem for cash all or a portion of the 2008 Notes and the 2010 Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any contingent interest). Holders may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 2008 Notes or 2010 Notes on each of February 15, 2013, February 15, 2018, and February 15, 2023. In addition, if the Company experiences specific types of corporate transactions, holders may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their notes. Any repurchase of notes pursuant to these provisions will be for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any contingent interest).

The 2008 Notes and the 2010 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder, subject to specified conditions. The conversion rate is 43.9560 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the notes (equal to a conversion price of approximately $22.75 per share), subject to adjustment. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver, at its option, either shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock.

Because the 2008 Notes may be settled in cash upon conversion, the Company has accounted for the liability and equity components of the 2008 Notes in a manner that reflects the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The Company assumed an 11.5% nonconvertible debt interest rate and an expected term of the debt of five years to determine the debt discount. The expected term of five years is based upon the time until a call/put option can be exercised on the 2008 Notes in February 2013. The effective tax rate assumed was 38.0%. At the date of issuance, the discount on the 2008 Notes was $27.8 million, with a related deferred tax liability of $10.6 million. The resulting discount on the 2008 Notes is being accreted over the period the convertible debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. At the date of the exchange described above, the unamortized discount related to the 2008 Notes exchanged was allocated to the 2010 Notes and continues to be amortized over the same period, at an assumed rate of 9.9%, using the effective interest method. The Company recorded non-cash interest expense related to accretion of the discount of $1.2 million for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and $2.5 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Term Loan—Senior Credit Facility

On March 31, 2010, the Company executed an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Whitebox Advisors LLC, as administrative agent for a syndicate of lenders, for a $40 million term loan. This term loan refinanced the Company’s existing senior credit facility at Wells Fargo Bank and provided net proceeds of $6.1 million to the Company.

Table of Contents

The indebtedness under the term loan matures November 1, 2012 and has scheduled cash principal payments of $750,000 in 2010, $3,750,000 in 2011, and $3,000,000 in 2012 with the remaining unpaid principal balance due at maturity. Interest is payable quarterly. The Company has the option to either pay the total amount of interest due in cash or to pay a portion of the interest in cash and capitalize the balance of the interest, thereby increasing the principal amount of the new senior credit facility. The annualized cash interest rate is 12.5% when the principal balance exceeds $30 million, 11.5% when the principal balance is $20 million or more but not in excess of $30 million, and 10.5% when the principal balance is less than $20 million. If the Company elects to capitalize a portion of the interest, the annualized cash interest rate is 8% and additional interest is capitalized and added to the principal amount of the new senior credit facility at a annualized rate of 6% when the principal balance exceeds $30 million, 4.5% when the principal balance is $20 million or more but not in excess of $30 million, and 3.5% when the principal balance is less than $20 million.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires additional mandatory principal payments of (a) 50% of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in excess of $4.5 million in any fiscal quarter, (b) 50% of cash proceeds in excess of $5 million and up to $15 million from certain asset disposals, plus 75% of cash proceeds in excess of $15 million from certain asset disposals, (c) 75% of any Federal income tax refunds, and (d) upon election by the lenders, up to $1 million of principal on quarterly payment dates, when the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s stock price is equal to or greater than $1.3419 per share, payable by issuing common stock (based on 95% of the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the preceding ten trading days).

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a commitment fee of $7,300,000, payable as follows: (a) $925,975 in cash at closing, (b) $4,374,025 through the issuance of 3,431,133 shares of common stock at closing (based on 95% of the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the preceding ten trading days), (c) $1,000,000 payable in September 2010 in cash or common stock (based on $1.2077 per share), and (d) $1,000,000 payable in March 2011 in cash or common stock (based on $1.1406 per share). At June 30, 2010, the liability for the unpaid commitment fee of $2.0 million is recorded in accrued liabilities within the balance sheet. The election as to whether the commitment fee for (c) and (d) is payable in cash or common stock is decided by the Company if the volume-weighted average price of the common stock is $1.00 or more per share and by the lenders if such average is less than $1.00 per share at the payment date. One half of the commitment fee has been allocated to the exchange transaction involving the Company’s convertible notes (described above).

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement does not contain a revolving line of credit facility or quarterly and annual financial covenants. The credit agreement restricts the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock without the prior written consent of the lenders.

Share Lending Agreement

Concurrent with the offering of the 2008 Notes, the Company entered into a share lending agreement (the “Share Lending Agreement”) with Bear, Stearns International Limited (the “Borrower”). In May 2008, the Borrower became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Company. Under the Share Lending Agreement, the Company agreed to loan 3,800,000 shares of common stock (the “Borrowed Shares”) to the Borrower during a period beginning February 11, 2008 and ending on February 15, 2028. The Company may terminate the Share Lending Agreement earlier, upon written notice to the Borrower that the entire principal balance of the 2008 Notes ceases to be outstanding or upon agreement with the Borrower. The Borrower is permitted to use the Borrowed Shares only for the purpose of directly or indirectly facilitating the sale of the convertible senior notes and the establishment of hedge positions by holders of the convertible senior notes. The Company did not require collateral in support of the Share Lending Agreement.

In February 2008, the Borrower borrowed all 3,800,000 shares available under the Share Lending Agreement. The number of shares is subject to certain adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits or reverse stock splits which change the number of shares of common stock outstanding. The Company did not receive any proceeds for the Borrowed Shares, but the Company did receive a nominal loan fee of $0.0001 for each share loaned to the Borrower. The Borrower received all proceeds from any sale of Borrowed Shares pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement. Upon conversion of the convertible senior notes, a number of Borrowed Shares proportional to the conversion rate for such notes must be returned to the Company. Any borrowed shares returned to the Company cannot be re-borrowed.

The Borrowed Shares are issued and outstanding for corporate law purposes, and accordingly, the holders of the Borrowed Shares have all of the rights of a holder of the Company’s outstanding shares, including the right to vote the shares on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders and the right to receive any dividends or other distributions that the Company may pay or make on its outstanding shares of common stock. However, under the Share Lending Agreement, the Borrower has agreed to pay to the Company, within one business day after the relevant payment date, an amount equal to any cash dividends that the Company pays on the Borrowed Shares, and to pay or deliver to the Company, upon termination of the loan of Borrowed Shares, any other distribution, in liquidation or otherwise, that the Company makes on the Borrowed Shares.

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

Table of Contents

Contractual undertakings of the borrower have the effect of substantially eliminating the economic dilution that otherwise would result from the issuance of the borrowed shares, and all shares outstanding under the Share Lending Agreement are required to be returned to the Company in the future. As a result, the shares of the Company’s stock lent under the Share Lending Agreement are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing and reporting earnings per share.

The fair value of the Share Lending Agreement at its inception was $0.5 million which has been capitalized as an issuance cost and is being amortized as interest expense over its expected term of five years using the effective interest method. At June 30, 2010, unamortized issuance costs were $0.2 million.

Capital Lease Obligations

The Company leases certain equipment and vehicles under capital leases. At June 30, 2010 and at December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $0.6 million in capital lease obligations.

(1) The convertible senior notes carrying value represents the bifurcated debt component only, while the fair value is based on quoted market prices for the convertible senior notes, which includes the convertible equity features.

The Company determined the estimated fair value of the convertible senior notes based on the quoted market price of the notes. The estimated fair value of the term loan was determined based on current rates available for instruments with similar risks and maturities. The carrying value of the senior credit facility approximated fair value because interest rates were variable, and accordingly, the carrying value approximated current market value for instruments with similar risks and maturities. Fair value of the capital leases was determined based on recent lease rates adjusted for a risk premium.

The Company’s non-financial assets, including goodwill, other intangible assets and property and equipment are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., evidence of impairment). The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009. The fair value of all other receivables and liabilities approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Note 11—Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, if the effect is dilutive. Because of the net loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.

In connection with the sale of the 2008 Notes, the Company entered into a share lending agreement for 3,800,000 shares of its common stock. Contractual undertakings of the borrower have the effect of substantially eliminating the economic dilution that otherwise would result from the issuance of the borrowed shares, and all shares outstanding under the share lending agreement are required to be returned to the Company in the future. As a result, the 3,800,000 shares of the Company’s stock lent under the share lending agreement are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing and reporting earnings per share.

Note 12—Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was a benefit rate of 21.7% and 32.8%, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was a benefit rate of 19.1% and 33.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate in 2010 differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the nondeductible portion of the change in the warrant liability, and state income taxes. The Company’s current organization structure requires it to file two separate consolidated U.S. Federal income tax returns. As a result, taxable income of one group cannot be offset by tax attributes, including net operating losses, of the other group.

The Company has recorded a federal income tax receivable of approximately $10.4 million related to the carryback of net operating losses incurred in 2009 and the first six months of 2010. The Company has filed its 2009 federal tax return and anticipates receiving a federal tax refund of approximately $7.4 million for taxes previously paid.

Note 13—Convertible Preferred Stock and Stock Warrants

On August 12, 2009, the Company sold 16,000 units (the “Units”), consisting of Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock and warrants, for $1,000 per Unit, yielding aggregate gross proceeds of $16.0 million. Net proceeds from issuance of the Units were $14.8 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of Units to reduce borrowings under the Company’s bank credit facility, thereby providing additional availability of credit, and for general corporate purposes.

Each Unit was comprised of one share of cumulative convertible preferred stock (“Convertible Preferred Stock”), warrants to purchase up to 155 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.31 per share (“Exercisable Warrants”) and contingent warrants to purchase up to 500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.45 per share (“Contingent Warrants”).

Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at the holder’s option, at any time, into 434.782 shares of the Company’s common stock. This conversion rate represents an equivalent conversion price of approximately $2.30 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and distributions, reorganizations and similar events affecting the common stock.

Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000. Dividends accrue at the rate of 15% of the liquidation preference per year and accumulate if not paid quarterly. The Company may pay dividends, at its option, in cash, common stock (based on the market value of the common stock) or a combination thereof.

The Company may, at its option after February 11, 2010, automatically convert the preferred shares into common shares if the closing price of the common stock is equal to or greater than 150% of the then current conversion price for any 15 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period. If the Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converts and the Company has not previously paid holders amounts equal to at least eight quarterly dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company will also pay to the holders, in connection with any automatic conversion, an amount, in cash or shares of common stock, equal to eight quarterly dividends less any dividends previously paid to holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock.

Table of Contents

The Company may redeem any of the Convertible Preferred Stock beginning on August 12, 2012. The initial redemption price will be 105% of the liquidation preference, declining to 102.5% on August 12, 2013, and to 100% on or after August 12, 2014, in each case plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

The Exercisable Warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire if not exercised by August 12, 2014. The Contingent Warrants became exercisable on November 9, 2009 and will expire if not exercised by November 9, 2014. Both the Exercisable Warrants and Contingent Warrants contain anti-dilution price protection in the event the Company issues shares of common stock or securities exercisable for or convertible into common stock at a price per share less than their exercise price. Due to the anti-dilution price adjustment provision in the warrant agreements, the warrants were not considered equity and were recorded at fair value as warrant liabilities when issued and will be adjusted to fair value through the statement of operations at the end of each reporting period over the life of the warrants.

The gross proceeds from the issuance of the Units were allocated at the date of the transaction based on the relative fair values of the preferred stock and the warrants. In order to calculate the relative fair values, the Company obtained third-party valuations to assist it in establishing the fair value of the debt and equity components of the Units. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using a five-year term, volatility of 54.0%, a risk-free rate of 2.7% and an assumed dividend rate of zero. The fair value of the preferred stock component was determined via separate valuations of the conversion rights and the host contract. The fair value of the conversion rights were determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation of the Company’s possible future stock prices, which generated potential conversion outcomes. Due to a lack of comparable transactions by companies with similar credit ratings, the value of the host contract was determined by applying a risk-adjusted rate of return to the annual dividend. At the date of the transaction, the Company recorded approximately 68% of the proceeds or $10.8 million (net of the discount resulting from the allocation of the proceeds to the warrants) as preferred stock in stockholders’ equity and the detachable warrants with a fair value of $5.2 million were recorded as a warrant liability.

The Company determined that the embedded conversion option within the preferred stock was beneficial (had intrinsic value) to the holders of the preferred stock. The intrinsic value of the conversion option was determined to be $5.2 million and was recognized as a beneficial conversion discount with offset to additional paid-in capital at the date of the transaction.

The conversion period for the preferred stock was estimated to be 36 months based on an evaluation of the conversion options. The accretion of the discount on the preferred stock recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, including the effect of the conversions which occurred during the first six months of 2010 (described below).

The fair value of the warrants has been calculated at each period end using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. At June 30, 2010, inputs for the fair value calculation included the remaining term of the warrants, volatility of 68.4%, a risk-free rate of 1.8%, and an assumed dividend rate of zero.

Conversions of Preferred Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, holders of 2,980 shares of preferred stock elected conversion into 1,295,648 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the conversions. The holders of the preferred stock were not entitled to accumulated and unpaid dividends on the converted shares; therefore, $0.3 million of accrued and unpaid dividends were reversed and are reported as a reduction of accrued dividends during the six months ended June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010, the Company had accrued and unpaid dividends on its preferred stock of $1.7 million ($131.25 per share).

Upon conversion of the preferred stock, the Company recognized the unamortized discount remaining on the converted preferred shares as additional accretion of discount on preferred stock.

Re-pricing and Exercises of Stock Warrants

In connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement related to the Company’s term loan, the stock warrants issued in August 2009 in connection with issuance of the Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock have been re-priced, effective March 31, 2010. The Exercisable Warrants and the Contingent Warrants both contain anti-dilution price protection. At June 30, 2010, there are outstanding warrants to purchase up to 9,475,750 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.2748 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, warrants were exercised to purchase 300,454 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies

Class Action Litigation

On August 7, 2009, a putative class action suit was commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between May 8, 2007 and January 23, 2008, inclusive, seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) on February 4, 2010. The Amended Complaint alleges that, throughout the time period indicated, the Company provided inaccurate financial guidance and failed to disclose material adverse facts about its true financial condition and business prospects. The Amended Complaint also alleges that the Company made false statements and material omissions regarding its tool inventories and its integration of acquired companies. The Amended Complaint does not quantify the alleged actual damages.

The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint and intends to mount a vigorous defense to these claims. The motion to dismiss is now fully briefed and is pending before the Court. Discovery has not yet commenced. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the outcome of this litigation.

Other Litigation

The Company is subject to routine litigation and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Common Stock Listing on the New York Stock Exchange

The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Under the NYSE’s continued listing standards, a company is considered to be below compliance standards if, among other things, both its average global market capitalization is less than $50 million over a 30 trading-day period and its stockholders’ equity is less than $50 million. The Company failed to comply with this compliance standard during the fourth quarter of 2009 and remained out of compliance at June 30, 2010.

In March 2010, the NYSE accepted the Company’s plan of action to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards during the 18-month cure period, which ends in June 2011. During implementation and execution of the Company’s plan, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE, subject to compliance with other NYSE continued listing requirements.

Note 16—Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company has determined that it has three reportable segments:

 

   

The Chemicals and Logistics segment is made up of two business divisions: Specialty Chemicals and Logistics. The Specialty Chemicals division designs, develops, manufactures, packages and sells chemicals used by oilfield service companies in oil and gas well drilling, cementing, stimulation and production. The Logistics division manages automated bulk material handling, loading facilities, and blending capabilities for oilfield service companies.

 

   

The Drilling Products segment rents, inspects, manufactures and markets downhole drilling equipment for the energy, mining, water well and industrial drilling sectors.

 

   

The Artificial Lift segment manufactures and markets artificial lift equipment, including the Petrovalve line of beam pump components, electric submersible pumps, gas separators, valves and services that support coal bed methane production.

The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment income before taxes. Certain functions, including various sales and marketing activities and corporate general and administrative activities, are provided centrally from the corporate office. The costs of these functions, together with other expenses and the income tax provision (benefit), are not allocated to the segments. Intersegment sales are accounted for at fair value as if sales were to third parties. Intersegment revenue is not material.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections and statements relating to the Company’s business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are to be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only current assumptions and beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside the Company’s control. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Many of these forward looking statements relate to future industry trends, actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated initiatives and the outcome of contingencies and other uncertainties that may have a significant impact on the Company’s business, future operating results and liquidity. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “forecast,” “project” and similar expressions, or future-tense or conditional constructions such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” etc. The Company cautions that these statements are only predictions and are not to be considered guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 2 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Quarterly Report on From 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2010, and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events, except as required by law.

Executive Summary

Flotek is a global technology-driven growth company that provides oilfield products, services and equipment to the oil, gas, and mining industries. Operations are based in both domestic (Gulf Coast, Southwest, Rocky Mountain, Northeastern and Mid-Continental regions of the United States) and international (Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia) markets. Products and services are actively marketed in over 20 countries worldwide. Customers include major integrated oil and natural gas companies, independent oil and natural gas companies, pressure pumping service companies and state-owned national oil companies.

Success within the oilfield services industry is dependent upon the Company’s ability to differentiate its products and services, to provide superior quality products and services, and to maintain a competitive cost structure. In North America, operations are primarily impacted by natural gas exploration and production activity and, to a lesser extent, oil well drilling activity. Drilling activity, which most directly impacts the Company, is significantly influenced by current natural gas prices, natural gas price volatility, forward natural gas/crude oil price forecasts and availability of capital. Further, the Company’s gross margins are directly impacted by the variable pricing of products and services inherent within the oilfield services industry. Variable pricing is based upon the level of customer activity, availability of equipment/resources, and competitive pressures. Historical market conditions are reflected in the following table.

North American demand for the Company’s products and services is significantly impacted by the price of natural gas and oil and gas drilling activity. While the price of natural gas improved marginally in 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009, the price of oil escalated 30.9% resulting in increased drilling activity. Exploratory oil rigs in North America have increased from 234 rigs as of June 30, 2009 to 642 rigs as of June 30, 2010, representing a 174% period over period increase. Natural gas rigs have increased from 789 rigs as of June 30, 2009 to 1,047 rigs as of June 30, 2010, a period over period increase of 32.6%.

The 2009 economic decline within the oil field services business, combined with successful exploration and production in unconventional shale and tight gas sands plays in the United States has contributed to excess reserves of natural gas. The impact from the current market’s supply and demand resulted in the deterioration of prices and in the reluctance of exploration and production companies to continue investment in these types of activities. This environment created a ripple effect which contributed to marginal rig activity mid-year 2009, with only slight increases realized during the last six months of 2009.

Because the first half of 2009 was greatly affected by the North America economic slowdown, particularly in the industrial sector, the Company believes the second quarter of 2010 comparisons to the first quarter of 2010 are more indicative of what the North American Energy marketplace will be in the near term. While 2010 current natural gas prices hover just over $4/ccf and oil prices range at approximately $78/barrel, rig count has shown some stabilization in the United States and is currently at approximately 1,500 rigs. While the Company’s product lines, especially within the Chemical and Logistics segment, have always been heavily dependent on natural gas drilling, the new products the Company is introducing into the market should help widen the Company’s revenue base.

The Company’s consolidated operations have shown a revenue increase of 32.6% and a gross margin improvement of 39.2% respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. While the basic fundamentals of a soft industrial recovery and an excess of natural gas still exist, the stabilization of rig count and improved oil drilling prospects offer a compelling argument that the remainder of 2010 will match or exceed the market and demand of the three months ended June 30, 2010.

The Company’s business is comprised of three reportable segments: Chemicals and Logistics (“Chemicals”), Drilling Products (“Drilling”) and Artificial Lift. The Company’s focus is on serving the drilling-related needs of oil and gas companies primarily through the Chemicals and Drilling segments, and the production-related needs of oil and gas companies through the Artificial Lift and Chemicals segments. The Company believes its product offerings and geographical presence throughout its three business segments provides the Company with diverse sources of cash flow. Although each segment has unique business specific technical expertise, all share a common commitment to provide the Company’s customers with quality and competitively priced equipment and services.

 

   

The Chemicals and Logistics segment is comprised of two business divisions: Specialty Chemicals and Logistics. Specialty Chemical designs, develops, manufactures, packages and sells chemicals used by oilfield service companies in oil and gas well drilling, cementing, stimulation and production. Logistics manages automated bulk material handling, loading facilities, and blending capabilities for oilfield service companies.

Consolidated Results of Operations Comparison of Quarter and Six Months Periods Ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $31.2 million, an increase of $7.7 million, or 32.6%, compared to $23.5 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in revenue is attributable to increased activity within both the Chemicals and Drilling segments. The Chemicals segment, period over period, increased primarily as a result of recovery of previously granted product and service price reductions and as a result of increased product demand due to increased well completion activity within the industry. The favorable period over period Drilling variance is due to increased rental activity resultant from a 32.2% increase in vertical rig count. The Company’s increased international rental activity of approximately $0.7 million, and combined increase in domestic rental activity of approximately $1.3 million, also contributed to the period over period increase for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $59.5 million, a decrease of $4.6 million, or 7.2%, compared to $64.2 million for the same period in 2009. The unfavorable variance resulted from the Drilling and Artificial Lift segments. The unfavorable variance in Drilling was due to decreased revenue from international exports during the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the first quarter of 2009, and due to decreased product sales to the copper mining industry. Although the market price of copper has started to increase, the volume of mining activity historically lag behind price fluctuations. Artificial Lift experienced a period over period decrease in revenue as product sales revenue for 2010 has not yet fully recovered from the 2009 North American economic decline and the low price of natural gas, of which the negative impact was not fully realized in 2009 until the third quarter.

The consolidated gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased $7.7 million, or 211.2%, as compared with the same period last year 2009. The gross margin as a percentage of sales revenue increased to 36.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 15.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This 20.9% increase was due primarily to increased product sales revenue (31.4%) and rental revenue (56.5%).

The consolidated gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased $3.2 million, or 20.0%, as compared with the same period of 2009. The gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 32.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from 25.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This 7.4% increase was due primarily to the realization of direct and indirect operational expense cost savings (16.4%) across all three of the Company’s segments. Gross margin is calculated as revenue less the corresponding cost of revenue, which includes personnel, occupancy, depreciation and other expenses directly associated with the generation of revenue.

Selling, general and administrative costs are defined as costs that are not directly attributable to products sold or services rendered. Selling, general and administrative costs were $13.2 million and $23.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, an increase of 46.0% and 21.0%, respectively, as compared to $9.1 million and $19.3 million for the same periods in 2009, respectively. The three and six month comparative period over period increase resulted from increased incentive stock compensation expense. Non-cash incentive stock compensation expense related to previously issued incentive equity awards granted to the Company’s former President and CEO of the Company which vested upon his retirement and separation from the Company effective June 30, 2010, totaled approximately $3.0 million and was recognized during the second quarter of 2010.

Depreciation and amortization costs were $1.2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $2.4 million and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Research and development (R&D) costs were $0.4 million for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company anticipates 2010 R&D spending levels to remain comparable with 2009 expenditure levels.

Interest expense was $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 versus $3.9 million compared to the same period in 2009 and $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus $7.8 million compared to the same period in 2009. The period over period increase for both the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in 2009 was due to the refinancing of the Company’s Senior Credit Facility and Convertible Debt (See Part I, “Item 1. Financial Statements” Note 9 – Convertible Notes and Long-Term Debt of the condensed consolidated financial statements), as well as, a $0.4 million payment to Wells Fargo in settlement of the Company’s interest rate swap in March 2010.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was a benefit rate of 21.7% and 32.8%, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was a benefit rate of 19.1% and 33.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate in 2010 differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the nondeductible portion of the change in the warrant liability, and state income taxes. The Company’s current organization structure requires it to file two separate consolidated U.S. Federal income tax returns. As a result, taxable income of one group cannot be offset by tax attributes, including net operating losses, of the other group.

The Company has recorded a federal income tax receivable of approximately $10.4 million related to the carryback of net operating losses incurred in 2009 and the first six months of 2010. The Company has filed its 2009 federal tax return and anticipates receiving a federal tax refund of approximately $7.4 million for taxes previously paid.

Chemicals and Logistics revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $14.0 million, an increase of $4.6 million, or 48.5%, compared to $9.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The favorable three month period over period variance, is a result of recovery of previously granted product and service price reductions and as a result of increased product demand attributable to a 38% increase in well completion activity within the industry. Chemicals and Logistics revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $27.1 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 1.7%, compared to $26.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The favorable six month period ended June 30, 2010 over the six month period ended June 30, 2009 variance correlates with the a 4% increase in average natural gas rig activity within the industry. This positive variance was offset by a decrease in customer service revenue, primarily attributable to the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the first quarter of 2009 in response to industry uncertainty regarding ramifications of the Gulf Coast oil disaster.

The gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 increased $2.6 million, or 66.7%, compared to $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased $1.5 million, or 13.4%, compared to $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Favorable period over period variances were due to increased product sales volumes and favorable product mix margins combined with realized cost containment savings related to direct expenses.

Income from operations was $4.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, an increase of approximately $2.3 million, or 141.6%, compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 28.4% as compared to 17.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $7.7 million, an increase of approximately $1.6 million, or 26.9%, compared to $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 was 28.3% as compared to 22.7% for the same period of 2009. Favorable variances are attributable to increased product sales revenue and realization of cost containment savings initiatives implemented in response to the deterioration of the North American economy in 2009.

Drilling Products revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $14.9 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 28.1%, compared to $11.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The favorable variance was attributable to increased rental activity consistent with the 32.2% increase in vertical rig count (493 rigs at June 30, 2010 compared to 373 rigs at June 30, 2009). Increased Teledrift international rental activity in Argentina and Canada of approximately $0.7 million, as well as increased domestic rental activity, particularly at the Broussard and Midland locations of approximately $1.3 million, also contributed to the period over period increase for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Drilling Products revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $27.8 million, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 7.1%, compared to $29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The period over period decrease in revenue for the first six months of 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009 was primarily due to decreased international exports of Turbeco I. J. pups drilling motors ($2.3 million) and decreased product sales to the copper mining industry ($0.9 million) resultant from the decline in the market price of copper, partially offset by increased international rental activity of Teledrift inclination equipment ($0.9 million).

The gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $4.2 million, an increase of $4.7 million, or 938.0%, as compared to $(0.5) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The favorable increase was primarily due to increased rental revenue of $3.5 million and realized savings from cost containment initiatives of $1.5 million. The gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $5.7 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 57.0%, as compared $3.7 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was attributable to a combination of reduced product sales revenue ($2.4 million), reduced service revenue ($1.0 million), increased rental revenue ($1.2 million) and realized savings from cost containment initiatives ($4.2 million).

Loss from operations was $0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $23.2 million, or 99.0%, as compared to a loss of $23.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to $18.5 million of goodwill impairment recognized in the second quarter of 2009, decreased cost of revenue, ($10.6 million versus $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively) and cost containment savings ($1.5 million for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009). Loss from operations was $3.4 million in the first half of 2010, a decrease of $20.7 million, or 85.9%, as compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to $18.5 million of goodwill impairment recognized in the second quarter of 2009 and decrease in product sales and service revenue of $2.4 million and $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 and realized cost containment efficiencies of $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2009.

Artificial Lift revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $2.3 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 7.0%, as compared to $2.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, while revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $4.6 million, a decrease of $3.0 million, or 39.0%, as compared to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The majority of Artificial Lift revenue is derived from coal bed methane (“CBM”) drilling. CBM drilling activity is highly correlated to the price of natural gas. The price of natural gas decreased throughout most of 2009. Natural gas prices have remained suppressed throughout the six months ended June 30, 2010; correspondingly, CBM drilling activity has decreased slightly which has resulted in a decrease in the volume of units sold in first six months of 2010 as compared to the first six months of 2009.

The gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 increased $0.4 million, or 136.5%, as compared to $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The favorable variance in period over period gross margin is a result of realized cost containment savings of 27.6% within cost of revenue, particularly in the cost of materials (22.1%) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased $0.3 million, or 17.8%, as compared to the same period in 2009. The unfavorable variance in period over period gross margin is a combined result of a decrease in product sales revenue of 39.8% partially offset by cost containment efficiencies in the cost of materials (43.9%) for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.

Income from operations was $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $0.4 million, or 683.1%, as compared to a loss of $0.07 million for the same period in 2009. The favorable variance is a direct result of cost containment savings of 27.6% realized in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Income from operations decreased $0.1 million in the first six months of 2010 as compared to the first six months of 2009. The majority of this decrease was driven by a reduction in product sales revenue (39.8%), despite significant cost containment savings (45.2%) recognized during the first six months of June 30, 2010 as compared to the first six months of June 30, 2009.

Fluctuations in gas prices and drilling activity directly impact the demand for the Company’s products and services. The average price of natural gas for the second quarter of 2010 decreased by 12.3% as compared to the average natural gas price in the first quarter of 2010, and the average North American drilling rig count for the second quarter of 2010 decreased by 6.1% as compared to the average North American drilling rig count for the first quarter of 2010.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $31.2 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 9.9%, as compared to $28.4 million for the first quarter of 2010. The increase in revenue was attributable to increased activity within both the Chemicals and Drilling segments. The Chemicals segment favorable second quarter over first quarter of 2010 variance was the result of continued recovery of previously granted product and service price reductions and increased product demand due to increased well completion activity, period over period, within the industry. Chemical segment product sales and service revenue increased 6.4% and 15.7%, respectively, during the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the first quarter of 2010. The favorable period over period variance within the Drilling segment was due to a 25.7% increase in rental activity which correlates to the 32.2% increase in vertical rig count from the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2010. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company’s international rental activity in Argentina increased approximately $0.4 million, while domestic rental activity increased approximately $0.8 million. Each of these circumstances contributed to the second quarter of 2010 increase over the first quarter of 2010.

The consolidated gross margin for the second quarter of 2010 increased $3.3 million, or 41.7%, as compared to the first quarter of 2010. The gross margin as a percentage of sales increased period over period by 8.1% due to increased product sales ($0.9 million) and rental revenue ($1.9 million) as well as realized cost containment savings ($0.6 million) for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the first quarter of 2010.

Selling, general and administrative costs are not directly attributable to products sold or services rendered. Selling, general and administrative costs during the second quarter of 2010 were $13.2 million as compared to $10.2 million during the first quarter of 2010, an increase of 29.7%. The increase was due to recognition of $3.0 million of non-cash compensation expense during second quarter of 2010 which related to prior equity grants to the Company’s former President and CEO, which vested at the time of his retirement from the Company on June 30, 2010.

Depreciation and amortization costs were constant at $1.2 million for both the first and second quarter of 2010.

Research and development (R&D) expenses remained comparable at $0.4 million for both the first and second quarter of 2010. R&D expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.

Interest expense was $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2010, an increase of $0.8 million, or 19.2%. The variance for the second quarter over the first quarter of 2010 was due to the refinancing of the Company’s senior credit facility and convertible debt, partially offset by a $0.4 million payment to Wells Fargo in settlement of the Company’s interest rate swap in March 2010.

An income tax benefit of $1.7 million and $2.0 million was recorded for the second and first quarters of 2010, respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 21.7% and 17.4%, respectively. The tax benefit increase in both 2010 periods reflects a change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the non-deductible portion of the change in the warrant liability and state income taxes.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Overview

The Company’s ongoing capital requirements arise primarily from the need to service debt, to acquire and maintain equipment, to fund working capital requirements and to complete acquisitions. The Company has funded capital requirements with operating cash flows, debt borrowings, and by issuing shares of preferred and common stock. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has not identified any acquisition candidates, nor is it actively looking for acquisition candidates.

The challenging economic conditions facing the oil and gas industry, which began at the end of 2008, adversely affected the Company’s financial performance and liquidity throughout 2009; however, positive changes in these circumstances are beginning to be realized. As previously noted, oil and natural gas prices, the number of well completions and the number of active rigs have shown marginal improvement during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. While the Company continues to experience depressed levels of demand for products and services as compared to activity levels realized prior to the 2009 macro economic slowdown, the Company’s operations have begun to stabilize. The Company recognized a decrease in consolidated revenue of 7.2% for the six months of 2010 as compared to the first six months of 2009, yet realized a 16.4% cost containments savings over the same period. Notably, gross margin percentages for the quarter and six months periods ended June 30, 2010 both increased 211.2% and 20.0%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2009.

On March 31, 2010, the Company executed an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Whitebox Advisors LLC for a $40 million term loan. This term loan replaced the Company’s former senior credit facility at Wells Fargo Bank and provided net proceeds of $6.1 million. The current term loan reduces previously scheduled principal payment requirements for the years 2010 and 2011. The significant terms of the Company’s term loan are discussed in Part I, “Item 1. Financial Statements” in Note 9 of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) as both the Company’s global market capitalization and stockholders’ equity fell below the required $50 million. In March 2010, the NYSE accepted the Company’s plan of action to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards during a 18-month cure period, which ends in June 2011. During implementation and execution of the Company’s plan, the Company’s common stock continues to be listed on the NYSE, subject to compliance with other NYSE continued listing requirements.

Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $5.3 million at June 30, 2010. The Company’s 2010 capital expenditures budget remains $3.4 million until continued improvements of operating cash flows are realized. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 the Company utilized $2.3 million of capital expenditures. As improvements are realized, the Company may elect to incur additional capital expenditures, contingent upon approval of its lenders and Board of Directors. The Company believes that sufficient cash reserves are available to meet anticipated operating and capital expenditure requirements during the remainder of 2010 and of 2011; however, the Company will continue to seek additional debt and equity funding alternatives.

Plan of Operations for 2010 and the First Six Months of 2011

Although natural gas prices and drilling activity have declined since the 2008 cyclical peak, prices and activity appear to be stabilizing. Fluctuations in gas prices and drilling activity directly impact the demand for the Company’s products and services. Average natural gas prices for the first six months of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, increased 16%. The average North American drilling rig count for the first six months of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, increased 29%.

During the quarter and six months periods ended June 30, 2010, the Company experienced revenue growth of 32.6% and a 7.2% decline in revenue, respectively, and an increase in gross margins during both periods of 211.2% and 20.0%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2009. The Company experienced operating losses during each of the four quarters of 2009; as well as, in the first two quarters of 2010. Forecasting the depth and length of the recovery or depression in gas prices and drilling activity in the current cycle is challenging. Even more so due to the overlay of the worldwide financial crisis in combination with demand weakness in each of the Company’s segments as compared to 2009 activity levels.

The Company’s expectations of operations for the remainder of 2010 are based on a sluggish yet gradual increase in natural gas prices and drilling activity with no expectation of a return to early 2008 levels during 2010. The Company’s plan of operations for 2010 and 2011 are based upon expectations of continued gradual improvement in economic conditions as stated above.

The Company’s 2010 business plan objectives include the following:

 

   

Replace the Company’s existing senior credit facility. On March 31, 2010, the Company successfully negotiated a senior credit facility that provided net proceeds of $6.1 million. The senior credit facility significantly reduced the Company’s scheduled principal payment requirements during 2010 and 2011, but could ultimately result in increased borrowing costs.

 

   

Explore deleveraging alternatives to reduce the Company’s debt. In March 2010, the Company issued shares of common stock to decrease the outstanding principal balance of its convertible debt. The Company intends to continue to evaluate other debt and equity strategies to deleverage debt and strengthen the balance sheet.

 

   

Seek additional equity funding. In August 2009, the Company raised $16 million through an offering of convertible preferred stock and stock warrants. At June 30, 2010, the Company has approximately 9.5 million warrants outstanding, which if fully exercised, would provide an additional $12.1 million of capital. The Company intends to continue to discuss funding opportunities with its advisors. The likelihood of obtaining additional equity funding should increase as the economy improves and as continued growth in the oil and gas industry is realized.

 

   

Manage capital expenditures. The Company’s capital expenditure budget for 2010 is approximately $3.4 million, a decrease from the $7.0 million spent in 2009. The Company has identified additional capital items that may be acquired as continued improvements in cash flows are realized and as the economy rebounds.

 

   

Integrate oversight and actions of the new senior management team. The Company has created an “Office of the President,” to increase collaboration throughout its organization. New members were appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors during November 2009, and the addition of more members with the requisite qualifications and skills during 2010 is anticipated.

 

   

Evaluate strategic benefits of expansion into foreign markets. Identify potential business partners to assist the Company to broaden geographic reach, or to create new and unique ways to use existing products and services.

 

   

Dispose of non-core assets and underperforming product lines. Review business segments to identify assets that may no longer meet strategic objectives. In addition to providing liquidity, the sale of non-strategic assets should allow the Company to concentrate its efforts and resources on improving and expanding the reach of its products.

Manage the Company’s assets and ongoing operations and continue increased emphasis on overall management of working capital. During the first half of 2010, the Company continued to actively manage accounts receivable and inventory balances. The Company has realized increased operating cash flows through receivables management. The Company is also poised to realize increased cash flows from inventory management as demand for products increase.

 

   

Enhance technology used within each of the Company’s business segments. The Company believes technological innovations are critical to its future. A longer-term goal is to expand the scope of current research and development activities. It is likely, however, that cash flow constraints will limit expansion of research and development activities during the remainder of 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, changes in working capital provided $1.1 million due mainly to collection of accounts receivable ($22.1 million) and a decrease in inventory ($6.1 million) offset by a decrease in accounts payable ($11.2 million), a reduction in accrued liabilities ($5.4 million), and an increase in other current assets ($11.0 million).

Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, and 2009, the Company’s capital expenditures were approximately $2.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively. Capital expenditures declined during the first six months ended June 30, 2010, as the Company closely managed its capital expenditures until further cash flows improvements are realized. Partially offsetting cash used in investing activities were proceeds from the sale of assets of approximately $1.3 million and $1.5 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s financing activities provided $4.5 million of net cash. On March 31, 2010, the Company entered into a new term loan in the principal amount of $40.0 million. A portion of the net proceeds was used to refinance the Company’s existing senior credit facility ($32.0 million). The Company also used proceeds received as payment for associated debt issuance costs of $1.7 million. A $1.7 million increase in excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation was also realized. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s financing activities provided net cash of $2.3 million. The Company received net advances from its credit facilities of $9.6 million offset by payments of debt and credit facilities of $7.0 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not participated in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of June 30, 2010, the Company was not party to any unconsolidated SPEs.

The Company has not made guarantees to any of its customers or vendors. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments, other than operating leases, that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Contractual Obligations

Cash flows from operations are dependent on a number of factors, including fluctuations in the Company’s operating results, accounts receivable collections, inventory management, and the timing of payments for goods and services. As a result, the impact of contractual obligations on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources in future periods should be analyzed in conjunction with such factors.

The Company’s material contractual obligations are composed of repayment of amounts borrowed through its convertible notes and long-term debt and obligations under capital leases. Contractual obligations at June 30, 2010 are as follows (in thousands):

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Warrant Liabilities

The Company evaluates financial instruments for freestanding and embedded derivatives. Warrant liabilities do not have readily determinable fair values, and therefore require significant management judgment and estimation. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the value of warrant liabilities at the end of each reporting period. Changes in warrant liabilities during each reporting period are included in the statement of operations.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, and, to a limited extent, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. Market risk is measured as the potential negative impact on earnings, cash flows or fair values resulting from a hypothetical change in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates over the next year. The Company manages the exposure to market risks at the corporate level. The portfolio of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities is monitored and adjusted to provide liquidity necessary to satisfy anticipated short-term needs. The Company’s risk management policies allows the use of specified financial instruments for hedging purposes only; speculation on interest rates or foreign currency rates is not permitted. The Company does not consider any of these risk management activities to be material.

 

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls and procedures; accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurance.

Table of Contents

As of the end of the fiscal period covered by this report, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that previously identified material weaknesses in internal controls related to preparation of financial statements as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 2 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and discussed below, still exist as of June 30, 2010, and the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures remain ineffective.

Control Environment – The control environment, which is the responsibility of the Company’s senior management, sets the tone of the organization, influences the control consciousness of its personnel, and is the foundation for all other components of internal control over financial reporting. The control environment was judged as ineffective due to the following:

 

  a) Lack of personnel with appropriate levels of accounting knowledge, experience, and training to ensure proper application of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) consistent with the Company’s financial reporting requirements.

 

  b) Lack of sufficient controls related to the monthly financial close process. These control deficiencies included:

 

   

inadequate analysis of variances in the statement of operations from expected and historical results; and

 

   

absence of an adequate journal entry review process by supervisory accounting personnel.

Because of the material weaknesses described above and the fact that in-process remediation efforts are not yet fully completed and tested, the Company’s management has concluded that internal controls over financial reporting in connection with the preparation of financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2010 remain ineffective.

Remediation Plan and Status

The Company’s management is actively committed to and engaged in the implementation and execution of remediation efforts to resolve the material weaknesses previously identified; as well as to proactively manage any other identified areas of risk. These remediation efforts, outlined below, are intended to address the identified material weaknesses and to enhance the Company’s overall financial control environment.

 

   

The Company has hired a Vice President/Corporate Controller and a Senior Financial Analyst.

 

   

The Company has completed a model of expected future cash flows and financial forecasts. Enhancements continue to be added and the model is updated quarterly.

 

   

The Company has established new procedures to enhance monthly variance analyses and to provide oversight of the journal entry review process. The Company continues to update and revise accounting policies and procedures as appropriate.

The Company’s executive management team, and Board of Directors, are committed to achieving and maintaining a strong control environment, high ethical standards, and financial reporting integrity.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company continued implementation and execution of the remedial measures described above in order to enhance the effectiveness the Company’s overall financial control environment.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Class Action Litigation

On August 7, 2009, a putative class action suit was commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between May 8, 2007 and January 23, 2008, inclusive, seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) on February 4, 2010. The Amended Complaint alleges that, throughout the time period indicated, the Company provided inaccurate financial guidance and failed to disclose material adverse facts about its true financial condition and business prospects. The Amended Complaint also alleges that the Company made false statements and material omissions regarding its tool inventories and its integration of acquired companies. The Amended Complaint does not quantify the alleged actual damages.

The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint and intends to mount a vigorous defense to these claims. The motion to dismiss is now fully briefed and is pending before the Court. Discovery has not yet commenced. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the outcome of this litigation.

Other Litigation

The Company is subject to routine litigation and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

This document, the Company’s other filings with the SEC, and other materials released to the public contain “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See “Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements” included in Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These forward-looking statements may discuss the Company’s prospects, expected revenue, expenses and profits, strategies for our operations and other subjects, including conditions in the oilfield service and oil and natural gas industries and in the United States and international economy in general.

Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable, but that may not prove to be accurate. All forward-looking information is, therefore, subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expected. Although it is not possible to identify all factors, these risks and uncertainties including the risk factors included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 2 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2010 and those discussed below.

Risks Related to Our Business

The Company has not had profitable operations during 2009 and the first two quarters of 2010, and may not be profitable in 2010.

The Company experienced net losses during the last two fiscal years and the first two quarters of 2010. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully execute the plan of operations for 2010, and that even successful execution of the plan we will be profitable in 2010.

If the Company loses the services of key members of our management, the Company may not be able to manage operations and implement growth strategies effectively.

The Company depends on the continued service of the President, the Executive Vice President, Finance and Strategic Planning, and the Executive Vice President, Operations, Business Development and Special Projects, who possess significant expertise and knowledge of our business and industry. In addition, the President also serves as Chairman of the Board. The Company does not carry key man life insurance on any of these executives. Employment agreements with these three individuals have been executed. Any loss or interruption of the services of these or other key members of management could significantly reduce the Company’s ability to effectively manage operations and to implement the Company’s strategic business plan. The Company can provide no assurance that appropriate replacements for key positions could be found should the need arise.

Failure to file timely, accurate reports with the SEC could have an adverse effect on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and on our ability to raise capital in the capital markets.

The Company did not file the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2009, September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2010 in a timely manner. The Company filed requests for an extension of time to file these reports and subsequently filed Form 10-Qs within the extension period. A failure to file reports timely with the SEC will result in an inability to file registration statements using any registration form other than Form S-1, which is more time consuming and costly to prepare. This limitation, if realized, may hamper the Company’s ability to raise capital in the financial markets. Additionally, the late filing of reports with the SEC could result in a technical default of our various debt obligations.

The Company amended the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 to restate the financial statements for the reclassification of warrants from stockholders’ equity to a warrant liability and to record changes in the fair value of the warrant liability in the statement of operations.

Risks Related to Our Securities

Future issuance of additional shares of our common stock could cause dilution of ownership interests and adversely affect the Company’s stock price.

The Company may in the future issue previously authorized and unissued shares of common stock, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of current stockholders. The Company is currently authorized to issue 80,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 30,845,011 were issued as of June 30, 2010. Additional shares are subject to future issuance through the exercise of options previously granted under various equity compensation plans or through exercise of options that are still available for future grant. The potential issuance of such additional shares of common stock, whether directly or pursuant to any conversion right of convertible senior notes and convertible preferred stock or other convertible securities the Company may issue in the future, may create downward pressure on the trading price of the Company’s common stock. The Company may also issue additional shares of common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock for raising capital or other business purposes. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that sales could occur, could have a material adverse effect on the price of the Company’s common stock.

In August 2009, the Company sold convertible preferred stock with detachable warrants to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock. Holders of the convertible preferred stock may convert their preferred shares into shares of common stock at any time, and the Company may automatically convert the preferred shares into common shares if certain conditions relating to the closing price of common stock are met after February 12, 2010. All warrants are exercisable as of December 31, 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, 1,295,648 and 300,454 shares of common stock were issued for conversion of preferred stock and exercise of warrants, respectively. At June 30, 2010, outstanding convertible preferred stock and warrants have the right to acquire a total of 15,136,611 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Table of Contents

The Company may issue additional shares of preferred stock or debt securities with greater rights than the Company’s common stock.

Subject to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes the board of directors to issue one or more additional series of preferred stock and set the terms of the preferred stock without seeking any further approval from holders of common stock. Currently, there are 100,000 preferred shares authorized, of which 16,000 shares have been issued. Any preferred stock that is issued may rank senior to common stock in terms of dividends, priority and liquidation premiums, and may have greater voting rights than holders of common stock.

The Company may issue additional debt securities to sustain or expand operations. Holders of convertible senior notes and convertible senior secured notes are preferred in right of payment to the holders of preferred and common stock.

Disclaimer of Obligation to Update

Except as required by applicable law or regulation, we assume no obligation (and specifically disclaim any such obligation) to update these Risk Factors or any other forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
