NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Exterran Holdings, Inc. (“we” or “Exterran”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) are not required in these interim financial statements and have been condensed or omitted. It is the opinion of management that the information furnished includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from contract operations is recorded when earned, which generally occurs monthly at the time the monthly service is provided to customers in accordance with the contracts. Aftermarket services revenue is recorded as products are delivered and title is transferred or services are performed for the customer.

Fabrication revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method when the applicable criteria are met. We estimate percentage-of-completion for compressor and accessory fabrication on a direct labor hour to total labor hour basis. Production and processing equipment fabrication percentage-of-completion is estimated using the direct labor hour to total labor hour and the cost to total cost basis. The duration of these projects is typically between three and 36 months. Fabrication revenue is recognized using the completed contract method when the applicable criteria of the percentage-of-completion method are not met. Fabrication revenue from a claim is recognized up to the extent that costs related to the claim have been incurred when collection is probable and can be reliably estimated. In the first quarter of 2011, we recorded $15.0 million related to a recovery on a loss contract that was determined to be probable at March 31, 2011.

Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Exterran Stockholders Per Common Share

Basic income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Unvested share-based awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings (loss) per share following the two-class method. Therefore, restricted share awards that contain the right to vote and receive dividends are included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, unless their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Diluted income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental common stock equivalents attributed to outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock to be issued pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan and convertible senior notes, unless their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The table below summarizes income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders	$	(27,892	)	$	6,237

Net dilutive potential common shares issuable		23,423		22,752

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, receivables, payables, interest rate swaps and foreign currency hedges. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the estimated fair value of such financial instruments approximated their carrying value as reflected in our consolidated balance sheets. Our financial instruments also include debt and the fair value of our fixed rate debt has been estimated primarily based on quoted market prices. The fair value of our floating rate debt has been estimated based on similar debt transactions that occurred near the valuation dates. A summary of the fair value and carrying value of our debt as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is shown in the table below (in thousands):


	As of March 31, 2011				As of December 31, 2010
	Carrying				Carrying
	Amount		Fair Value		Amount		Fair Value
Fixed rate debt	$	780,441	$	835,000	$	775,810	$	808,000
Floating rate debt		959,142		968,000		1,121,337		1,101,000

Total debt	$	1,739,583	$	1,803,000	$	1,897,147	$	1,909,000

GAAP requires that all derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recognized in the balance sheet at fair value, and that changes in such fair values be recognized in earnings (loss) unless specific hedging criteria are met. Changes in the values of derivatives that meet these hedging criteria will ultimately offset related earnings effects of the hedged item pending recognition in earnings.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In May 2009, the Venezuelan government enacted a law that reserves to the State of Venezuela certain assets and services related to hydrocarbon activities, which included substantially all of our assets and services in Venezuela. The law provides that the reserved activities are to be performed by the State, by the State-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (“PDVSA”), or its affiliates, or through mixed companies under the control of PDVSA or its affiliates. The law authorizes PDVSA or its affiliates to take possession of the assets and take over control of those operations related to the reserved activities as a step prior to the commencement of an expropriation process, and permits the national executive of Venezuela to decree the total or partial expropriation of shares or assets of companies performing those services.

On June 2, 2009, PDVSA commenced taking possession of our assets and operations in a number of our locations in Venezuela. By the end of the second quarter of 2009, PDVSA had assumed control over substantially all of our assets and operations in Venezuela.

While the law provides that companies whose assets are expropriated in this manner may be compensated in cash or securities, we are unable to predict what, if any, compensation Venezuela will ultimately offer in exchange for any such expropriated assets and, accordingly, we are unable to predict what, if any, compensation we ultimately will receive. We reserve and will continue to reserve the right to seek full compensation for any and all expropriated assets and investments under all applicable legal regimes, including investment treaties and customary international law. In this connection, on June 16, 2009, our Spanish subsidiary delivered to the Venezuelan government and PDVSA an official notice of dispute relating to the seized assets and investments under the Agreement between Spain and Venezuela for the Reciprocal Promotion and Protection of Investments and under Venezuelan law. On March 23, 2010, our Spanish subsidiary filed a request for the institution of an arbitration proceeding against Venezuela with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) related to the seized assets and investments, which was registered by ICSID on April 12, 2010.

We maintained insurance for the risk of expropriation of our investments in Venezuela, subject to a policy limit of $50 million. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a receivable of $50 million related to this insurance policy because we determined that recovery under this policy of a portion of our loss was probable. We collected the $50 million under our policy in January 2010. Under the terms of the insurance policy, certain compensation we may receive from the Venezuelan government or PDVSA for our expropriated assets, receivables and operations will be applied first to the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by us and the insurance company, second to the insurance company until the $50 million payment has been repaid and third to us.

As a result of PDVSA taking possession of substantially all of our assets and operations in Venezuela, we recorded asset impairments during the year ended December 31, 2009, totaling $329.7 million ($379.7 million excluding the insurance proceeds of $50 million). These charges primarily related to receivables, inventory, fixed assets and goodwill, and are reflected in Income (loss) from discontinued operations. We believe the fair value of our seized Venezuelan operations substantially exceeds the historical cost-based carrying value of the assets, including the goodwill allocable to those operations; however, GAAP requires that our claim be accounted for as a gain contingency with no benefit being recorded until resolved. Accordingly, we did not include any compensation we may receive for our seized assets and operations from Venezuela in recording the loss on expropriation.

The expropriation of our business in Venezuela meets the criteria established for recognition as discontinued operations under accounting standards for presentation of financial statements. Therefore, our Venezuela contract operations and aftermarket services businesses are now reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations.

In January 2010, the Venezuelan government announced a devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. This devaluation resulted in a translation gain of approximately $12.2 million on the remeasurement of our net liability position in Venezuela and is reflected in other (income) loss, net in the table below for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The functional currency of our Venezuela subsidiary is the U.S. dollar and we had more liabilities than assets denominated in bolivars in Venezuela at the time of the devaluation. The exchange rate used to remeasure our net liabilities changed from 2.15 bolivars per U.S. dollar at December 31, 2009 to 4.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar in January 2010.

The table below summarizes the operating results of the discontinued operations (in thousands):

5. INVESTMENTS IN NON-CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

Investments in affiliates that are not controlled by Exterran but where we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations are accounted for using the equity method. Our equity method investments are primarily comprised of entities that own, operate, service and maintain compression and other related facilities.

Our ownership interest and location of each equity method investee at March 31, 2011 is as follows:

Ownership

Interest

Location

Type of Business

PIGAP II

30.0

Venezuela

Gas Compression Plant

El Furrial

33.3

Venezuela

Gas Compression Plant

In May 2009, PDVSA assumed control over the assets of PIGAP II and El Furrial and transitioned the operations of PIGAP II and El Furrial, including the hiring of their employees, to PDVSA and therefore, we recorded a full impairment of our investment in PIGAP II and El Furrial in the second quarter of 2009. Our non-consolidated affiliates are expected to seek full compensation for any and all expropriated assets and investments under all applicable legal regimes, including investment treaties and customary international law, which could result in us recording a gain on our investment in future periods. However, we are unable to predict what, if any, compensation we ultimately will receive or when we may receive any such compensation.

Because the assets and operations of our investments in our remaining non-consolidated affiliates have been expropriated, we currently do not expect to have any meaningful equity earnings in non-consolidated affiliates in the future from these investments.

6. LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):


	March 31,		December 31,
	2011		2010
Revolving credit facility due August 2012	$	49,434	$	50,395
Term loan		459,708		615,943
2007 asset-backed securitization facility notes due July 2012		—		6,000
Partnership’s revolving credit facility due November 2015		300,000		299,000
Partnership’s term loan facility due November 2015		150,000		150,000
4.25% convertible senior notes due June 2014 (presented net of the unamortized discount of $68.7 million and $73.2 million, respectively)		286,254		281,827
4.75% convertible senior notes due January 2014		143,750		143,750
7.25% senior notes due December 2018		350,000		350,000
Other, interest at various rates, collateralized by equipment and other assets		437		232

Long-term debt	$	1,739,583	$	1,897,147

In March 2011, we repaid the $6.0 million outstanding balance under our asset-backed securitization facility (the “2007 ABS Facility”) and terminated that facility. As a result of the termination of the 2007 ABS Facility, we expensed $1.4 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, which is reflected in Interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In June 2009, we issued under a shelf registration statement $355.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior notes due June 2014 (the “4.25% Notes”). The 4.25% Notes are convertible upon the occurrence of certain conditions into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 43.1951 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.15 per share of common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment following certain dilutive events and certain corporate transactions. The value of the shares the 4.25% Notes can be converted into exceeded their principal amount as of March 31, 2011 by $8.9 million. We may not redeem the 4.25% Notes prior to their maturity date.

GAAP requires that the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects an issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. Upon issuance of our

4.25% Notes, $97.9 million was recorded as a debt discount and reflected in equity related to the convertible feature of these notes. The discount on the 4.25% Notes will be amortized using the effective interest method through June 30, 2014. During each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized $3.8 million of interest expense related to the contractual interest coupon. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized $4.4 million and $4.0 million of interest expense, respectively, related to the amortization of the debt discount. The effective interest rate on the debt component of these notes is 11.67%.

As of March 31, 2011, our senior secured borrowings consisted of our term loan facility and our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2011, we had $49.4 million in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, $247.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $459.7 million in outstanding borrowings under our term loan facility. At March 31, 2011, we had undrawn capacity of $553.2 million under our revolving credit facility. Our senior secured credit agreement limits our Total Debt to EBITDA ratio to not greater than 5.0 to 1.0. Due to this limitation, $402.6 million of the $553.2 million of undrawn capacity under our revolving credit facility was available for additional borrowings as of March 31, 2011.

As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership had $250.0 million of undrawn capacity under its revolving credit facility. The Partnership Credit Agreement limits the Partnership’s Total Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) to not greater than 4.75 to 1.0. The Partnership Credit Agreement allows for the Partnership’s Total Debt to EBITDA ratio to be increased from 4.75 to 1.0 to 5.25 to 1.0 during a quarter when an acquisition meeting certain thresholds is completed and for the following two quarters after such an acquisition closes. Therefore, because the August 2010 Contract Operations Acquisition closed in the third quarter of 2010, the maximum allowed ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA was 5.25 to 1.0 through March 31, 2011, reverting to 4.75 to 1.0 for the quarter ending June 30, 2011 and subsequent quarters. Due to this limitation, $200.9 million of the $250.0 million of undrawn capacity under the Partnership Credit Agreement was available for additional borrowings as of March 31, 2011. If the maximum allowed ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA had been 4.75 to 1.0 at March 31, 2011, then $138.9 million of the $250.0 million of undrawn capacity under the Partnership Credit Agreement would have been available for additional borrowings as of March 31, 2011.

7. ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES

We are exposed to market risks primarily associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We use derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with financial activities by managing our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on a portion of our debt obligations. We also use derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks caused by currency fluctuations in certain foreign currencies. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

At March 31, 2011, we were a party to interest rate swaps pursuant to which we pay fixed payments and receive floating payments on a notional value of $815.0 million. We entered into these swaps to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the associated variable interest rates. Our interest rate swaps expire over varying dates, with interest rate swaps having a notional amount of $565.0 million expiring through August 2012 and the remaining interest rate swaps expiring through November 2015. As of March 31, 2011, the weighted average effective fixed interest rate on our interest rate swaps was 3.4%. We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedging instruments so that any change in their fair values is recognized as a component of comprehensive income (loss) and is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent the hedge is effective. The swap terms substantially coincide with the hedged item and are expected to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the variable rate, and therefore we currently do not expect a significant amount of ineffectiveness on these hedges. We perform quarterly calculations to determine whether the swap agreements are still effective and to calculate any ineffectiveness. We recorded no ineffectiveness in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and approximately $0.1 million of interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to the ineffectiveness related to interest rate swaps. We estimate that approximately $23.4 million

of deferred pre-tax losses attributable to existing interest rate swaps and included in our accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2011, will be reclassified into earnings as interest expense at then-current values during the next twelve months as the underlying hedged transactions occur. Cash flows from derivatives designated as hedges are classified in our consolidated statements of cash flows under the same category as the cash flows from the underlying assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, we paid $43.0 million to terminate interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $585.0 million and a weighted average effective fixed interest rate of 4.6%. These swaps qualified for hedge accounting and were previously included on our balance sheet as a liability and in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The liability was paid in connection with the termination, and the associated amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be amortized into interest expense over the original term of the swaps. We estimate that $19.3 million of deferred pre-tax losses from these terminated interest rate swaps will be amortized into interest expense during the next twelve months.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We operate in approximately 30 countries throughout the world, and a fluctuation in the value of the currencies of these countries relative to the U.S. dollar could impact our profits from international operations and the value of the net assets of our international operations when reported in U.S. dollars in our financial statements. From time to time we may enter into foreign currency hedges to reduce our foreign exchange risk associated with cash flows we will receive in a currency other than the functional currency of the local Exterran affiliate that entered into the contract. The impact of foreign currency exchange on our consolidated statements of operations will depend on the amount of our net asset and liability positions exposed to currency fluctuations in future periods.

Foreign currency swaps or forward contracts that meet the hedging requirements or that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are accounted for as cash flow hedges and changes in the fair value are recognized as a component of comprehensive income (loss) to the extent the hedge is effective. The amounts recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings (loss) in the periods in which the underlying foreign currency exchange transaction is recognized. For foreign currency swaps and forward contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, changes in fair value and gains and losses on settlement are included under the same category as the income or loss from the underlying assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions in our consolidated statements of operations.

The following tables present the effect of derivative instruments on our consolidated financial position and results of operations (in thousands):

The counterparties to our derivative agreements are major international financial institutions. We monitor the credit quality of these financial institutions and do not expect non-performance by any counterparty, although such non-performance could have a material adverse effect on us. We have no specific collateral posted for our derivative instruments. The counterparties to our interest rate swaps are also lenders under our credit facilities and, in that capacity, share proportionally in the collateral pledged under the related facility.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three broad categories.

	•		Level 1— Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which we have access at the date of measurement.

	•		Level 2— Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.

	•		Level 3— Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect our own assumptions regarding how market participants would price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The following table summarizes the valuation of our interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2011, with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the valuation of our interest rate swaps and impaired assets as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010, with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands):


				Quoted

Interest rate swaps asset (liability)	$	(84,864	)	$	—	$	(84,864	)	$	—
Impaired long-lived assets		360			—		—			360

Our interest rate swaps and foreign currency derivatives are recorded at fair value utilizing a combination of the market and income approach to estimate fair value. We used discounted cash flows and market based methods to compare similar derivative instruments. Our estimate of the fair value of the impaired long-lived assets was based on the estimated component value of the equipment that we plan to use.

9. LONG-LIVED ASSET IMPAIRMENT

As a result of a decline in market conditions in North America during 2010, we reviewed the idle compression assets used in our contract operations segments for units that are not of the type, configuration, make or model that are cost efficient to maintain and operate. We determined that 251 units representing approximately 40,000 horsepower would be retired from the fleet in the three months ended March 31, 2010. We performed a cash flow analysis of the expected proceeds from the salvage value of these units to determine the fair value of the assets. The net book value of these assets exceeded the fair value by $1.7 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and was recorded as a long-lived asset impairment.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Incentive Plan

In August 2007, we adopted the Exterran Holdings, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “2007 Plan”) that provides for the granting of stock-based awards in the form of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and performance awards to our employees and directors. In May 2011, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Plan that increased the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2007 Plan to 12,500,000 from 9,750,000. Each option and stock appreciation right granted counts as one share against the aggregate share limit, and each share of restricted stock and restricted stock unit granted counts as two shares against the aggregate share limit. Awards granted under the 2007 Plan that are subsequently cancelled, terminated or forfeited are available for future grant.

Stock Options

Under the 2007 Plan, stock options are granted at fair market value at the date of grant, are exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule established by the compensation committee of our board of directors in its sole discretion and expire no later than seven years after the date of grant. Options generally vest 33 1/3% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $8.36, and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:


	Three Months
	Ended
	March 31, 2011
Expected life in years		4.5
Risk-free interest rate		1.92	%
Volatility		41.08	%
Dividend yield		0.00	%

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for a period commensurate with the estimated expected life of the stock options. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock over the period

commensurate with the expected life of the stock options and other factors. We have not historically paid a dividend and do not expect to pay a dividend during the expected life of the stock options.

The following table presents stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2011 (in thousands, except per share data and remaining life in years):


						Weighted
				Weighted		Average		Aggregate
	Stock			Average		Remaining		Intrinsic
	Options			Exercise Price		Life		Value
Options outstanding, December 31, 2010		3,124		$	31.20
Granted		375			22.84
Exercised		(15	)		16.18
Cancelled		(37	)		32.54

Options outstanding, March 31, 2011		3,447		$	30.34		4.5	$	8,286

Options exercisable, March 31, 2011		2,356		$	34.47		3.8	$	5,696

Intrinsic value is the difference between the market value of our stock and the exercise price of each option multiplied by the number of options outstanding for those options where the market value exceeds their exercise price. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $0.1 million. As of March 31, 2011, $8.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

For grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units, we recognize compensation expense over the vesting period equal to the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. Common stock subject to restricted stock grants generally vests 33 1/3% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

The following table presents restricted stock and restricted stock unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2011 (in thousands, except per share data):


				Weighted
				Average
				Grant-Date
				Fair Value
	Shares			Per Share
Non-vested restricted stock and restricted stock units, December 31, 2010		1,421		$	23.20
Granted		860			22.83
Vested		(545	)		26.14
Cancelled		(31	)		22.02

Non-vested restricted stock and restricted stock units, March 31, 2011		1,705		$	22.10

As of March 31, 2011, $35.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

Our compensation committee’s practice is to grant equity-based awards once a year, in late February or early March after fourth quarter earnings information for the prior year has been released for at least two full trading days. The schedule for making equity-based awards is typically established several months in advance, and is not set based on knowledge of material nonpublic information or in response to our stock price. This practice results in awards being granted on a regular, predictable annual cycle, after annual earnings information has been disseminated to the marketplace. Equity-based awards are occasionally granted at other times during the year, such as upon the hiring of a new employee or following the promotion of an employee. In some instances, the compensation committee may be aware, at the time grants are made, of matters or potential developments that are not ripe for public disclosure at that time but that may result in public announcement of material information at a later date. In March 2011, the compensation committee of our board of directors authorized annual long-term incentive awards of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares to our executive officers, other employees and non-employee directors.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In August 2007, we adopted the Exterran Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which is intended to provide employees with an opportunity to participate in our long-term performance and success through the purchase of shares of common stock at a price that may be less than fair market value. The ESPP is designed to comply with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each quarter, an eligible employee may elect to withhold a portion of his or her salary up to the lesser of $25,000 per year or 10% of his or her eligible pay to purchase shares of our common stock at a price equal to 85% to 100% of the fair market value of the stock as of the first trading day of the quarter, the last trading day of the quarter or the lower of the first trading day of the quarter and the last trading day of the quarter, as the compensation committee of our board of directors may determine. The ESPP will terminate on the date that all shares of common stock authorized for sale under the ESPP have been purchased, unless it is extended. In May 2011, our stockholders approved an amendment to the ESPP that increased the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for purchase under the ESPP to 1,000,000. At March 31, 2011, 240,821 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP. Our ESPP plan is compensatory and, as a result, we record an expense on our consolidated statements of operations related to the ESPP. Since July 2009, the purchase discount under the ESPP has been 5% of the fair market value of our common stock on the first trading day of the quarter or the last trading day of the quarter, whichever is lower.

Partnership Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Partnership has a long-term incentive plan that was adopted by Exterran GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership’s general partner, in October 2006 for employees, directors and consultants of the Partnership, us or our respective affiliates. The long-term incentive plan currently permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate of 1,035,378 common units, common unit options, restricted units and phantom units. The long-term incentive plan is administered by the board of directors of Exterran GP LLC or a committee thereof (the “Plan Administrator”).

Unit options will have an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value of a common unit on the date of grant and will become exercisable over a period determined by the Plan Administrator. Phantom units are notional units that entitle the grantee to receive a common unit upon the vesting of the phantom unit or, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, cash equal to the fair value of a common unit.

Partnership Phantom Units

The following table presents phantom unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2011:


				Weighted
				Average
				Grant-Date
	Phantom			Fair Value
	Units			per Unit
Phantom units outstanding, December 31, 2010		98,537		$	19.23
Granted		20,851			28.50
Vested		(43,764	)		18.90

Phantom units outstanding, March 31, 2011		75,624		$	21.98

As of March 31, 2011, $1.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested phantom units is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We have issued the following guarantees that are not recorded on our accompanying balance sheet (dollars in thousands):


			Maximum Potential
			Undiscounted
			Payments as of
	Term		March 31, 2011
Performance guarantees through letters of credit(1)		2011-2013	$	256,259

Bid bonds and performance bonds(1)		2011-2018		141,189

Maximum potential undiscounted payments			$	413,963


(1)		We have issued guarantees to third parties to ensure performance of our obligations, some of which may be fulfilled by third parties.

As part of our acquisition of Production Operators Corporation in 2001, we may be required to make contingent payments of up to $46 million to the seller, depending on our realization of certain U.S. federal tax benefits through the year 2015. To date, we have not realized any such benefits that would require a payment and we do not anticipate realizing any such benefits that would require a payment before the year 2013.

See Note 2 and Note 5 for a discussion of gain contingencies related to assets and investments that were expropriated in Venezuela.

Our business can be hazardous, involving unforeseen circumstances such as uncontrollable flows of natural gas or well fluids and fires or explosions. As is customary in our industry, we review our safety equipment and procedures and carry insurance against some, but not all, risks of our business. Our insurance coverage includes property damage, general liability and commercial automobile liability and other coverage we believe is appropriate. In addition, we have a minimal amount of insurance on our offshore assets. We believe that our insurance coverage is customary for the industry and adequate for our business; however, losses and liabilities not covered by insurance would increase our costs.

Additionally, we are substantially self-insured for worker’s compensation and employee group health claims in view of the relatively high per-incident deductibles we absorb under our insurance arrangements for these risks. Losses up to the deductible amounts are estimated and accrued based upon known facts, historical trends and industry averages.

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. While management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, we believe that any ultimate liability arising from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation, however, we cannot provide assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding to which we are a party will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the resolution occurs.

12. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to existing guidance on revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables. This update addresses accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for deliverables separately. The guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. This update requires expanded disclosures for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements. The update is effective for us for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. Our adoption of this new guidance on January 1, 2011 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29,Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This standard update clarifies that, when presenting comparative financial statements, public companies should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the current period business combinations had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business

combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The update is effective prospectively for business combinations entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Our adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

13. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

We manage our business segments primarily based upon the type of product or service provided. We have four principal industry segments: North America contract operations, international contract operations, aftermarket services and fabrication. The North America and international contract operations segments primarily provide natural gas compression services, production and processing equipment services and maintenance services to meet specific customer requirements on Exterran-owned assets. The aftermarket services segment provides a full range of services to support the surface production, compression and processing needs of customers, from parts sales and normal maintenance services to full operation of a customer’s owned assets. The fabrication segment involves (i) design, engineering, installation, fabrication and sale of natural gas compression units and accessories and equipment used in the production, treating and processing of crude oil and natural gas and (ii) engineering, procurement and fabrication services primarily related to the manufacturing of critical process equipment for refinery and petrochemical facilities, the fabrication of tank farms and the construction of evaporators and brine heaters for desalination plants.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on gross margin for each segment. Revenues include only sales to external customers. We do not include intersegment sales when we evaluate the performance of our segments.

The following table presents sales and other financial information by industry segment for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

14. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN

Our 401(k) retirement plan provides for optional employee contributions up to the Internal Revenue Service limit and discretionary employer matching contributions. We generally make discretionary matching contributions to each participant’s account at a rate of (i) 100% of each participant’s first 1% of contributions plus (ii) 50% of each participant’s contributions up to the next 5% of eligible compensation. We made no discretionary matching contributions from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, but began making them again effective on July 1, 2010.

15. TRANSACTIONS RELATED TO THE PARTNERSHIP

In March 2011, we sold, pursuant to a public underwritten offering, 5,914,466 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership, including 664,466 common units to cover over-allotments. The $162.2 million of net proceeds received from the sale of the common units was used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term loan. The change in our ownership interest of the Partnership from the sale of the common units resulted in adjustments to noncontrolling interest, accumulated other comprehensive loss, deferred income taxes and additional paid-in capital to reflect our new ownership percentage in the Partnership. As a result of this transaction, public ownership interest in the Partnership increased. As of March 31, 2011, public unitholders held an approximate 60% ownership interest in the Partnership and we owned the remaining equity interest, including the general partner interest and all incentive distribution rights.

The table below presents the effects of changes from net income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders and changes in our equity interest of the Partnership on our equity attributable to Exterran’s stockholders (in thousands):

GENERAL

Exterran Holdings, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“we” or “Exterran”), is a global market leader in the full service natural gas compression business and a premier provider of operations, maintenance, service and equipment for oil and natural gas production, processing and transportation applications. Our global customer base consists of companies engaged in all aspects of the oil and natural gas industry, including large integrated oil and natural gas companies, national oil and natural gas companies, independent producers and natural gas processors, gatherers and pipelines. We operate in three primary business lines: contract operations, fabrication and aftermarket services. In our contract operations business line, we own a fleet of natural gas compression equipment and crude oil and natural gas production and processing equipment that we utilize to provide operations services to our customers. In our fabrication business line, we fabricate and sell equipment similar to the equipment that we own and utilize to provide contract operations to our customers. We also fabricate the equipment utilized in our contract operations services. In addition, our fabrication business line provides engineering, procurement and fabrication services primarily related to the manufacturing of critical process equipment for refinery and petrochemical facilities, the fabrication of tank farms and the fabrication of evaporators and brine heaters for desalination plants. In our Total Solutions projects, which we offer to our customers on either a contract operations basis or a sale basis, we provide the engineering, design, project management, procurement and construction services necessary to incorporate our products into complete production, processing and compression facilities. In our aftermarket services business line, we sell parts and components and provide operations, maintenance, overhaul and reconfiguration services to customers who own compression, production, processing, treating and other equipment.

Exterran Partners, L.P.

We have an equity interest in the Partnership, a master limited partnership that provides natural gas contract operations services to customers throughout the U.S. As of March 31, 2011, public unitholders held a 60% ownership interest in the Partnership and we owned the remaining equity interest, including the general partner interest and all incentive distribution rights. The general partner of the Partnership is our subsidiary and we consolidate the financial position and results of operations of the Partnership. It is our intention for the Partnership to be the primary vehicle for the growth of our U.S. contract operations business and for us to continue to contribute U.S. contract operations customer contracts and equipment to the Partnership over time in exchange for cash, the Partnership’s assumption of our debt and/or additional interests in the Partnership. As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership had a fleet of 4,029 compressor units comprising approximately 1,590,000 horsepower, or 44% (by available horsepower) of our and the Partnership’s combined total U.S. horsepower.

OVERVIEW

Industry Conditions and Trends

Our business environment and corresponding operating results are affected by the level of energy industry spending for the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves. Spending by oil and natural gas exploration and production companies is dependent upon these companies’ forecasts regarding the expected future supply, demand and pricing of, oil and natural gas products as well as their estimates of risk-adjusted costs to find, develop and produce reserves. Although we believe our contract operations business will typically be less impacted by commodity prices than certain other energy service products and services, changes in oil and natural gas exploration and production spending will normally result in changes in demand for our products and services.

Natural Gas Consumption and Production.Natural gas consumption in the U.S. for the twelve months ended January 31, 2011 increased by approximately 5% over the twelve months ended January 31, 2010, is expected to increase by 1.0% in 2011 and is expected to increase by an average of 0.3% per year thereafter until 2035, according to the Energy Information Administration (“EIA”). Natural gas consumption worldwide is projected to increase by 1.3% per year until 2035, according to the EIA.

Natural gas marketed production in the U.S. for the twelve months ended January 31, 2011 increased by approximately 5% over the twelve months ended January 31, 2010. In 2009, the U.S. accounted for an estimated annual production of approximately 22 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, or 20% of the worldwide total of approximately 110 trillion cubic feet. The EIA estimates that the U.S.’s natural gas production level will be approximately 23 trillion cubic feet in 2035, or 15% of the projected worldwide total of approximately 155 trillion cubic feet.

Our Performance Trends and Outlook

Our revenue, earnings and financial position are affected by, among other things, market conditions that impact demand and pricing for natural gas compression and oil and natural gas production and processing and our customers’ decisions regarding whether to utilize our products and services rather than utilize products and services from our competitors. In particular, many of our North America contract operations agreements with customers have short initial terms. We cannot be certain that these contracts will be renewed after the end of the initial contractual term, and any such nonrenewal, or renewal at a reduced rate, could adversely impact our results of operations.

In the second half of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, we saw an increase in drilling activity and an increase in order activity and bookings in our fabrication business segment in the North America market. We believe the activity levels in North America will continue to increase in 2011, particularly in shale plays and areas focused on the production of oil and natural gas liquids. We anticipate this activity will result in higher demand for our compression and production and processing equipment, which we believe should result in higher revenues for these products in 2011 compared to 2010. However, we believe this increase would be impacted if there is a significant reduction in oil or natural gas prices. We also believe that (i) the continued uncertainty around natural gas supply and demand and natural gas prices and (ii) the current available supply of idle and underutilized compression equipment in the industry, as well as new investment of capital in equipment, combined with (iii) the modest horsepower growth we have experienced in North America, could make it challenging for us to significantly improve our North America contract operations horsepower utilization and pricing.

In international markets, we believe there will continue to be demand for our contract operations and Total Solutions projects, and we expect to have opportunities to grow our international business through our contract operations, aftermarket services and fabrication business segments over the long term. However, as industry capital spending declined in 2010, our fabrication business segment experienced a reduction in demand. While we expect these conditions to improve, we have not yet seen significant increases in international bookings and revenue.

Our level of capital spending depends on our forecast for the demand for our products and services and the equipment we require to provide services to our customers. As we believe there will be increased activity in certain North America natural gas plays, we anticipate investing more capital in our contract operations fleet in 2011 than we have in the recent past. Based on current market conditions, we expect that net cash provided by operating activities and availability under our credit facilities will be sufficient to finance our operating expenditures, capital expenditures and scheduled interest and debt repayments through December 31, 2011; however, to the extent it is not, we may seek additional debt or equity financing.

We have credit facilities that mature in 2012 and 2013 that we expect to refinance over time and prior to their maturity date. We cannot predict the potential terms of any new or revised credit facilities; however, based on current market conditions, we expect that the interest rate under any replacement facility would be higher than in the current facilities and therefore would lead to higher interest expense in future periods. For example, on November 3, 2010, the Partnership entered into an amendment and restatement of its senior secured credit facility that resulted in an increase in the interest rates on its senior secured credit facility. See “— Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information about this refinancing.

We intend to continue to contribute over time additional U.S. contract operations customer contracts and equipment to the Partnership in exchange for cash, the Partnership’s assumption of our debt and/or our receipt of additional interests in the Partnership. Such transactions would depend on, among other things, market and economic conditions, our ability to reach agreement with the Partnership regarding the terms of any purchase and the availability to the Partnership of debt and equity capital on reasonable terms.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary of Results

Revenue.Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $618.5 million compared to $576.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher fabrication sales in North America in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Net income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders and EBITDA, as adjusted.We recorded a consolidated net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders of $30.0 million and consolidated net income attributable to Exterran stockholders of $16.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We recorded EBITDA, as adjusted, of $94.3 million and $123.9 million for the

three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders and EBITDA, as adjusted, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were negatively impacted by reduced gross margin from operations caused by challenging market conditions. Net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders and EBITDA, as adjusted, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 benefited from $8.6 million in fabrication change order recoveries in excess of cost overruns that primarily related to the recovery on a loss contract that was determined to be probable at March 31, 2011. For a reconciliation of EBITDA, as adjusted, to net income (loss), its most directly comparable financial measure, calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), please read “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Summary of Business Segment Results

North America Contract Operations
(dollars in thousands)


	Three months ended
	March 31,						Increase
	2011			2010			(Decrease)
Revenue	$	151,054		$	152,627			(1)%
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense)		80,509			71,375			13%

Gross margin	$	70,545		$	81,252			(13)%
Gross margin percentage		47	%		53	%		(6)%

The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a reduction of revenue in our contract water treatment business in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. Gross margin (defined as revenue less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization expense), a non-GAAP financial measure, is reconciled, in total, to net income (loss), its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in Note 13 to the Financial Statements. The decrease in gross margin and gross margin percentage in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in our field operating expenses.

International Contract Operations

Gross margin	$	64,715		$	68,885			(6)%
Gross margin percentage		61	%		63	%		(2)%

The decrease in revenue and gross margin in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to a $4.8 million reduction in Eastern Hemisphere revenues that were partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in revenue in Brazil. The decrease in gross margin percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to higher operating costs in Argentina and Brazil caused primarily by inflation and increased compensation costs.

Aftermarket Services
(dollars in thousands)


	Three months ended
	March 31,						Increase
	2011			2010			(Decrease)
Revenue	$	81,698		$	70,323			16%
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense)		72,538			56,612			28%

Gross margin	$	9,160		$	13,711			(33)%
Gross margin percentage		11	%		19	%		(8)%

The increase in revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to a $10.8 million increase in North America revenues. The decrease in overall gross margin percentage in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to changes in market conditions that have led to a more competitive environment.

Fabrication (dollars in thousands)

	Three months ended
	March 31,						Increase
	2011			2010			(Decrease)
Revenue	$	280,046		$	243,618			15%

Gross margin	$	40,755		$	46,745			(13)%
Gross margin percentage		15	%		19	%		(4)%

The increase in revenue was primarily due to $44.7 million of higher revenues in North America, partially offset by $15.1 million of reduced revenue in the Eastern Hemisphere. The decrease in gross margin and gross margin percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to increased revenue in North America at lower margins and was partially offset by $8.6 million in fabrication change order recoveries in excess of cost overruns that primarily related to a recovery on a loss contract that was determined to be probable at March 31, 2011.

Costs and Expenses (dollars in thousands)

	Three months ended
	March 31,						Increase
	2011			2010			(Decrease)
Selling, general and administrative	$	91,281		$	84,051			9%
Depreciation and amortization		90,478			91,775			(1)%
Long-lived asset impairment		—			1,707			(100)%
Interest expense		37,170			32,934			13%
Other (income) expense, net		(414	)		(2,183	)		(81)%

The increase in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefit costs. SG&A expense was 15% of revenue for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $1.3 million primarily due to the impact of the $136.0 million long-lived impairment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010, partially offset by increased depreciation and amortization on new international contract operations projects. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we completed an evaluation of our longer-term strategies and, as a result, determined to retire and sell approximately 1,800 idle compressor units, or approximately 600,000 horsepower, that were previously used to provide services in our North America and international contract operations businesses. The long-lived asset impairment decreased depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Long-lived asset impairment in the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.7 million, and resulted from a decline in market conditions. This impairment was recorded on compression units that had been previously removed from our available fleet and were to be disposed of.

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in the average effective interest rate on our debt, including the impact of interest rate swaps, to 7.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 5.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in our average effective interest rate is primarily due to the refinancing of portions of our outstanding debt at higher interest rates, including our 7.25% senior notes due December 2018, which we issued in November 2010. Our average effective interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 includes the impact of $4.8 million of interest expense related to the amortization of terminated interest rate swaps. In addition, we expensed $1.4 million of unamortized deferred financing costs due to the termination of the 2007 ABS Facility in the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a lower average debt balance during the three months ended March��31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The change in other (income) expense, net, was primarily due to a $4.9 million gain recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2010 on the sale of a loan and our interest in an entity related to a project in Nigeria that had previously been written off. In addition, foreign currency loss was $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to a loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our foreign currency gains and losses are primarily related to the remeasurement of our international subsidiaries’ net assets exposed to changes in foreign currency rates. The foreign currency loss for the three months March 31, 2011 was primarily caused by changes in translation rates between the U.S. dollar and the Euro and Brazilian real. Gains on asset sales increased to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The change in other (income) expense, net was also impacted by $1.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of importation penalties in Brazil for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Income Taxes

Effective tax rate		15.0	%		(173.2	)%		188.2	%

The increase in our effective tax rate in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to decreased losses in low-tax or no tax jurisdictions. Our provision and effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was impacted by a $3.9 million net tax benefit recorded on the sale of loans and interest in an entity related to a project in Nigeria.

	2011			2010		(Decrease)
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(2,138	)	$	10,425		(121	)%

The income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 related to our operations in Venezuela that were expropriated in June 2009. As discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, on June 2, 2009, PDVSA commenced taking possession of our assets and operations in a number of our locations in Venezuela. As of June 30, 2009, PDVSA had assumed control over substantially all of our assets and operations in Venezuela. In January 2010, the Venezuelan government announced a devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. This devaluation resulted in a translation gain of approximately $12.2 million on the remeasurement of our net liability position in Venezuela and is reflected in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The functional currency of our Venezuela subsidiary is the U.S. dollar and we had more liabilities than assets denominated in bolivars in Venezuela at the time of the devaluation. The exchange rate used to remeasure our net liabilities changed from 2.15 bolivars per U.S. dollar at December 31, 2009 to 4.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar in January 2010.

Noncontrolling Interest

As of March 31, 2011, noncontrolling interest is primarily comprised of the portion of the Partnership’s earnings that is applicable to the limited partner interest in the Partnership owned by the public. As of March 31, 2011, public unitholders held a 60% ownership interest in the Partnership.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our unrestricted cash balance was $37.8 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $44.6 million at December 31, 2010. Working capital increased to $413.3 million at March 31, 2011 from $402.4 million at December 31, 2010.

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows, are summarized in the table below (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2011			2010
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operations:
Operating activities	$	25,452		$	107,050
Investing activities		138,627			(48,020	)
Financing activities		(170,208	)		(124,759	)

Discontinued operations		662			50,000

Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(6,831	)	$	(16,342	)

Operating Activities.The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to a reduction in gross margin from operations in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the reduction in working capital during the three months ended March 31, 2010 caused by a decrease in business activity.

Investing Activities.The increase in cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was attributable primarily to $162.2 million of net proceeds from the sale of Partnership units during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Financing Activities.The increase in cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily attributable to an increase in net repayments of long-term debt during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Capital Expenditures.We generally invest funds necessary to fabricate fleet additions when our idle equipment cannot be reconfigured to economically fulfill a project’s requirements and the new equipment expenditure is expected to generate economic returns over its expected useful life that exceed our targeted return on capital. We currently plan to spend approximately $225 million to $275 million in net capital expenditures during 2011, including (1) contract operations equipment additions and (2) approximately $85 million to $95 million on equipment maintenance capital related to our contract operations business. Net capital expenditures are net of fleet sales.

Long-Term Debt.As of March 31, 2011, we had approximately $1.7 billion in outstanding debt obligations, consisting of $459.7 million outstanding under our term loan facility, $49.4 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, $143.8 million outstanding under our 4.75% convertible notes due 2014, $286.3 million outstanding under our 4.25% Notes due January 2014, $350.0 million outstanding under our 7.25% senior notes due 2018, $300.0 million outstanding under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility, and $150.0 million outstanding under the Partnership’s term loan facility.

In August 2007, we entered into a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with various financial institutions. The Credit Agreement consists of (a) a five-year revolving credit facility in the aggregate amount of $850 million, which includes a variable allocation for a Canadian tranche and the ability to issue letters of credit under the facility and (b) a six-year term loan senior secured credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $800 million with principal payments due on multiple dates through June 2013

(collectively, the “Credit Facility”). Subject to certain conditions, at our request, the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased by an additional $400 million less certain adjustments. As of March 31, 2011, we had $49.4 million in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, $247.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $459.7 million in outstanding borrowings under our term loan facility. As of March 31, 2011, we had undrawn capacity of $553.2 million under our revolving credit facility. Our Credit Agreement limits our Total Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to not greater than 5.0 to 1.0. Due to this limitation, $402.6 million of the $553.2 million of undrawn capacity under our revolving credit facility was available for additional borrowings as of March 31, 2011.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, if they are in U.S. dollars, at a base rate or LIBOR at our option plus an applicable margin, as defined in the agreement. The applicable margin varies depending on our debt ratings. At March 31, 2011, all amounts outstanding were LIBOR loans and the applicable margin was 0.65%. The weighted average annual interest rate at March 31, 2011 on the outstanding balance, excluding the effect of interest rate swaps, was 0.9%.

The Credit Agreement contains various covenants with which we or certain of our subsidiaries must comply, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the use of proceeds from borrowings and limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate, sell assets, make certain investments and acquisitions, make loans, grant liens, repurchase equity and pay dividends and distributions. We must also maintain, on a consolidated basis, required leverage and interest coverage ratios. Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains customary conditions, representations and warranties, events of default and indemnification provisions. Our indebtedness under the Credit Facility is collateralized by liens on substantially all of our personal property in the U.S. Our wholly-owned Significant Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement) guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement. We have executed a U.S. Pledge Agreement pursuant to which equity interests in certain of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries (including all limited partnership interests and Subordinated Units (as defined in the Partnership’s partnership agreement) that we own in the Partnership) have been pledged to secure the obligations under the Credit Agreement. Further, we and our wholly-owned significant domestic subsidiaries have granted a lien on substantially all of our and their assets to secure the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Partnership does not guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement, its assets are not collateral under the Credit Agreement and the general partner units in the Partnership are not pledged under the Credit Agreement.

In August 2007, Exterran ABS 2007 LLC entered into an asset-backed securitization facility. In March 2011, we repaid the $6.0 million outstanding balance under this facility and terminated it. As a result of this termination, we expensed $1.4 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, which is reflected in Interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In November 2010, we issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due December 2018 (the “7.25% Notes”). The 7.25% Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, the securities may not be offered or sold in the U.S. except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We offered and issued the 7.25% Notes only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the U.S. pursuant to Regulation S.

The 7.25% Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our existing subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and certain of our future subsidiaries. The Partnership and its subsidiaries have not guaranteed the 7.25% Notes. The 7.25% Notes and the guarantees are our and the guarantors’ general unsecured senior obligations, respectively, rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the guarantors’ other senior obligations, and are effectively subordinated to all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. In addition, the 7.25% Notes and guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Prior to December 1, 2013, we may redeem all or a part of the 7.25% Notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) a make-whole premium at the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% Notes prior to December 1, 2013 with the net proceeds of a public or private equity offering at a redemption price of 107.250% of the principal amount of the 7.25% Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, if at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% Notes issued under the indenture remains outstanding after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering. On or after December 1, 2013, we may redeem all or a part of the 7.25% Notes at redemption prices (expressed

as percentages of principal amount) equal to 105.438% for the twelve-month period beginning on December 1, 2013, 103.625% for the
twelve-month period beginning on December 1, 2014, 101.813% for the twelve-month period beginning on December 1, 2015 and 100.000% for the twelve-month period beginning on December 1, 2016 and at any time thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date on the 7.25% Notes.

In June 2009, we issued under our shelf registration statement $355.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 4.25% Notes. The 4.25% Notes are convertible upon the occurrence of certain conditions into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 43.1951 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.15 per share of common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment following certain dilutive events and certain corporate transactions. We may not redeem the 4.25% Notes prior to their maturity date.

The 4.25% Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 4.25% Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities incurred by our subsidiaries. The 4.25% Notes are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries.

On November 3, 2010, the Partnership, as guarantor, and EXLP Operating LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, as borrower, entered into an amendment and restatement of their senior secured credit agreement (as so amended and restated, the “Partnership Credit Agreement”) to provide for a new five-year, $550 million senior secured credit facility consisting of a $400 million revolving credit facility and a $150 million term loan facility. In March 2011, the revolving borrowing capacity under this facility was increased by $150.0 million to $550.0 million. Concurrent with the execution of the Partnership Credit Agreement in November 2010, the Partnership borrowed $304.0 million under its revolving credit facility and $150.0 million under its term loan facility and used the proceeds to (i) repay the entire $406.1 million outstanding under the Partnership’s previous senior secured credit facility, (ii) repay the entire $30.0 million outstanding under the Partnership’s asset-backed securitization facility and terminate that facility, (iii) pay $14.8 million to terminate the interest rate swap agreements to which the Partnership was a party and (iv) pay customary fees and other expenses relating to the Partnership Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership had $250.0 million of undrawn capacity under its revolving credit facility. The Partnership Credit Agreement limits the Partnership’s Total Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to not greater than 4.75 to 1.0. The Partnership Credit Agreement allows for the Partnership’s Total Debt to EBITDA ratio to be increased from 4.75 to 1.0 to 5.25 to 1.0 during a quarter when an acquisition meeting certain thresholds is completed and for the following two quarters after such an acquisition closes. Therefore, because the August 2010 Contract Operations Acquisition closed in the third quarter of 2010, the maximum allowed ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA was 5.25 to 1.0 through March 31, 2011, reverting to 4.75 to 1.0 for the quarter ending June 30, 2011 and subsequent quarters. Due to this limitation, $200.9 million of the $250.0 million of undrawn capacity under the Partnership Credit Agreement was available for additional borrowings as of March 31, 2011. If the maximum allowed ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA had been 4.75 to 1.0 at March 31, 2011, then $138.9 million of the $250.0 million of undrawn capacity under the Partnership Credit Agreement would have been available for additional borrowings as of March 31, 2011.

The Partnership’s revolving credit facility bears interest at a base rate or LIBOR, at the Partnership’s option, plus an applicable margin. Depending on the Partnership’s leverage ratio, the applicable margin for revolving loans varies (i) in the case of LIBOR loans, from 2.25% to 3.25% and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, from 1.25% to 2.25%. The base rate is the highest of the prime rate announced by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% or one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. At March 31, 2011, all amounts outstanding under this facility were LIBOR loans and the applicable margin was 2.5%. The weighted average annual interest rate on the outstanding balance of this facility at March 31, 2011, excluding the effect of interest rate swaps, was 2.8%.

The Partnership’s term loan facility bears interest at a base rate or LIBOR, at the Partnership’s option, plus an applicable margin. Depending on the Partnership’s leverage ratio, the applicable margin for term loans varies (i) in the case of LIBOR loans, from 2.5% to 3.5% and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, from 1.5% to 2.5%. At March 31, 2011, all amounts outstanding under the term loan were LIBOR loans and the applicable margin was 2.75%. The average annual interest rate on the outstanding balance of the term loan at March 31, 2011, excluding the effect of interest rate swaps, was 3.1%.

Borrowings under the Partnership Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the U.S. personal property assets of the Partnership and its Significant Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement), including all of the membership interests of the Partnership’s Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement).

Our bank credit facilities and the agreements governing certain of our other indebtedness contain various covenants with which we or certain of our subsidiaries must comply, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the use of proceeds from borrowings and limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate, sell assets, make certain investments and acquisitions, make loans, grant liens, repurchase equity and pay dividends and distributions. For example, under our Credit Agreement we must maintain various consolidated financial ratios, including a ratio of EBITDA (defined in the Credit Agreement as Adjusted EBITDA) to Total Interest Expense (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 2.25 to 1.0, a ratio of consolidated Total Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to EBITDA of not greater than 5.0 to 1.0 and a ratio of Senior Secured Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to EBITDA of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2011, we maintained a 4.1 to 1.0 EBITDA to Total Interest Expense ratio, a 3.8 to 1.0 consolidated Total Debt to EBITDA ratio and a 1.6 to 1.0 Senior Secured Debt to EBITDA ratio. If we fail to remain in compliance with our financial covenants we would be in default under our debt agreements. In addition, if we were to experience a material adverse effect on our assets, liabilities, financial condition, business or operations that, taken as a whole, impacts our ability to perform our obligations under our debt agreements, this could lead to a default under our debt agreements. A default under one or more of our debt agreements, including a default by the Partnership under its credit facility, would trigger cross-default provisions under certain of our other debt agreements, which would accelerate our obligation to repay our indebtedness under those agreements. As of March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our debt agreements.

The Partnership Credit Agreement contains various covenants with which the Partnership must comply, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the use of proceeds from borrowings and limitations on its ability to incur additional indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate, sell assets, make certain investments and acquisitions, make loans, grant liens, repurchase equity and pay dividends and distributions. It also contains various covenants requiring mandatory prepayments of the term loans from the net cash proceeds of certain future asset transfers and debt issuances. The Partnership must maintain various consolidated financial ratios, including a ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) to Total Interest Expense (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0 (which will decrease to 2.75 to 1.0 following the occurrence of certain events specified in the Partnership Credit Agreement) and a ratio of Total Debt (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) to EBITDA of not greater than 4.75 to 1.0. As discussed above, the Partnership’s Total Debt to EBITDA ratio was temporarily increased from 4.75 to 1.0 to 5.25 to 1.0 at March 31, 2011 because the Partnership acquired from us additional contract operations customer service agreements and a fleet of compressor units used to provide compression services under those agreements which met the applicable thresholds in the third quarter of 2010, reverting to 4.75 to 1.0 for the quarter ending June 30, 2011 and subsequent quarters. As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership maintained a 6.2 to 1.0 EBITDA to Total Interest Expense ratio and a 3.6 to 1.0 Total Debt to EBITDA ratio. A violation of the Partnership’s Total Debt to EBITDA covenant would be an event of default under the Partnership Credit Agreement, which would trigger cross-default provisions under certain of our debt agreements. As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Partnership Credit Agreement.

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements related to a portion of our variable rate debt. In the fourth quarter of 2010, we paid $43.0 million to terminate interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $585.0 million and a weighted average rate of 4.6%. These swaps qualified for hedge accounting and were previously included on our balance sheet as a liability and in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The liability was paid in connection with the termination, and the associated amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be amortized into interest expense over the original term of the swaps. Of the total amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $4.8 million was amortized into interest expense during the first quarter of 2011 and we expect $15.4 million to be amortized into interest expense during the remainder of 2011. See Note 7 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of our interest rate swap agreements. See Part I, Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for further discussion of our interest rate swap agreements.

The interest rate we pay under our Credit Agreement can be affected by changes in our credit rating. As of March 31, 2011, our credit ratings as assigned by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s were:


		Standard
	Moody’s	& Poor’s
Outlook	Stable	Stable
Corporate Family Rating	Ba2	BB
Exterran Senior Secured Credit Facility	Ba1	BBB-
4.75% convertible senior notes due January 2014	B1	BB
4.25% convertible senior notes due June 2014	—	B+
7.25% senior notes due December 2018	Ba3	BB

These ratings do not constitute recommendations to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Historically, we have financed capital expenditures with a combination of net cash provided by operating and financing activities. Our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to do so, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to maintain our fleet and to grow. If any of our lenders become unable to perform their obligations under our credit facilities, our borrowing capacity under these facilities could be reduced. Inability to borrow additional amounts under those facilities could limit our ability to fund our future growth and operations. Based on current market conditions, we expect that net cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to finance our operating expenditures, capital expenditures and scheduled interest and debt repayments through December 31, 2011; however, to the extent it is not, we may borrow additional funds under our credit facilities or we may seek additional debt or equity financing.

Dividends.We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our formation, and we do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors anticipates that all cash flows generated from operations in the foreseeable future will be retained and used to repay our debt, repurchase our stock or develop and expand our business, except for a portion of the cash flow generated from operations of the Partnership which will be used to pay distributions on its units. Any future determinations to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations and financial condition, credit and loan agreements in effect at that time and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

Partnership Distributions to Unitholders.The Partnership’s partnership agreement requires it to distribute all of its “available cash” quarterly. Under the partnership agreement, available cash is defined generally to mean, for each fiscal quarter, (1) cash on hand at the Partnership at the end of the quarter in excess of the amount of reserves its general partner determines is necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to comply with applicable law, any of its debt instruments or other agreements or to provide for future distributions to its unitholders for any one or more of the upcoming four quarters, plus, (2) if the Partnership’s general partner so determines, all or a portion of the Partnership’s cash on hand on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter.

Under the terms of the partnership agreement, there is no guarantee that unitholders will receive quarterly distributions from the Partnership. The Partnership’s distribution policy, which may be changed at any time, is subject to certain restrictions, including (1) restrictions contained in the Partnership’s revolving credit facility, (2) the Partnership’s general partner’s establishment of reserves to fund future operations or cash distributions to the Partnership’s unitholders, (3) restrictions contained in the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and (4) the Partnership’s lack of sufficient cash to pay distributions.

Through our ownership of common and subordinated units and all of the equity interests in the general partner of the Partnership, we expect to receive cash distributions from the Partnership. Our rights to receive distributions of cash from the Partnership as holder of subordinated units are subordinated to the rights of the common unitholders to receive such distributions.

On April 29, 2011, the board of directors of Exterran GP LLC approved a cash distribution of $0.4775 per limited partner unit, or approximately $16.2 million, including distributions to the Partnership’s general partner on its incentive distribution rights. The distribution covers the period from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011. The record date for this distribution is May 10, 2011, and payment is expected to occur on May 13, 2011

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We define gross margin as total revenue less cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense). Gross margin is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a primary measure used by our management as it represents the results of revenue and cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), which are key components of our operations. We believe gross margin is important because it focuses on the current operating performance of our operations and excludes the impact of the prior historical costs of the assets acquired or constructed that are utilized in those operations, the indirect costs associated with selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) activities, the impact of our financing methods and income taxes. Depreciation expense may not accurately reflect the costs required to maintain and replenish the operational usage of our assets and therefore may not portray the costs from current operating activity. As an indicator of our operating performance, gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Our gross margin may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate gross margin in the same manner.

Gross margin has certain material limitations associated with its use as compared to net income (loss). These limitations are primarily due to the exclusion of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, SG&A expense, impairments and restructuring charges. Each of these excluded expenses is material to our consolidated results of operations. Because we intend to finance a portion of our operations through borrowings, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and our ability to generate revenue. Additionally, because we use capital assets, depreciation expense is a necessary element of our costs and our ability to generate revenue, and SG&A expenses are necessary costs to support our operations and required corporate activities. To compensate for these limitations, management uses this non-GAAP measure as a supplemental measure to other GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of our performance.

For a reconciliation of gross margin to net income (loss), see Note 13 to the Financial Statements.

We define EBITDA, as adjusted, as net income (loss) plus income (loss) from discontinued operations (net of tax), cumulative effect of accounting changes (net of tax), income taxes, interest expense (including debt extinguishment costs and gain or loss on termination of interest rate swaps), depreciation and amortization expense, impairment charges, merger and integration expenses, restructuring charges and other charges. We believe EBITDA, as adjusted, is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare our core operating results from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax consequences, impairment charges, merger and integration expenses, restructuring charges and other charges. Management uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as a supplemental measure to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. Our EBITDA, as adjusted, may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner.

EBITDA, as adjusted, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities and other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Items excluded from EBITDA, as adjusted, are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business, and, therefore, EBITDA, as adjusted, should only be used as a supplemental measure of our operating performance.

The following table reconciles our net income (loss) to EBITDA, as adjusted (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2011			2010
Net income (loss)	$	(30,464	)	$	16,733
(Income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax		2,138			(10,425	)
Depreciation and amortization		90,478			91,775
Long-lived asset impairment		—			1,707
Interest expense		37,170			32,934
Gain on sale of our investment in the subsidiary that owns the barge mounted processing plant and other related assets used on the Cawthorne Channel Project		—			(4,863	)
Benefit from income taxes		(5,014	)		(3,999	)

EBITDA, as adjusted	$	94,308		$	123,862

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.


Item 3.		Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have significant international operations. The net assets and liabilities of these operations are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates. These operations may also have net assets and liabilities not denominated in their functional currency, which exposes us to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that impact income. We recorded a foreign currency loss in our condensed consolidated statements of operations of approximately $2.6 million in the first three months of 2011 compared to a loss of $1.6 million in the first three months of 2010. Our foreign currency gains and losses are primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations related to monetary asset balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Changes in exchange rates may create gains or losses in future periods to the extent we maintain net assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency.

As of March 31, 2011, after taking into consideration interest rate swaps, we had approximately $144.1 million of outstanding indebtedness that was effectively subject to floating interest rates. A 1% increase in the effective interest rate on our outstanding debt subject to floating interest rates would result in an annual increase in our interest expense of approximately $1.4 million.

For further information regarding our use of interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on a portion of our debt obligations and derivative instruments to minimize foreign currency exchange risk, see Note 7 to the Financial Statements.


Item 4.		Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act), which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that we are able to record, process, summarize and report the information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on the evaluation, as of March 31, 2011, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, and made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, on a timely basis to ensure that it is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.		Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business we are involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. While management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, it believes that any ultimate liability arising from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we cannot provide assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding to which we are a party will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the resolution occurs.


Item 1A.		Risk Factors

There have been no material changes or updates in our risk factors that were previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
