GEOKINETICS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Geokinetics Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, founded in 1980, is based in Houston, Texas. The Company is a global provider of seismic data acquisition services in land, marsh and swamp (“Transition Zone”) and shallow water environments to the oil and natural gas industry. In addition, the Company provides seismic data processing and interpretation services. Seismic data is used by oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) companies to identify and analyze drilling prospects and maximize successful drilling. The Company provides seismic data acquisition services in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent, California, Appalachian and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States, Western Canada, Canadian Artic, Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East, Australia/New Zealand and the Far East. The Company primarily performs three-dimensional (“3D”) seismic data surveys for customers in the oil and natural gas industry, which include many national oil companies, major international oil companies and smaller independent E&P companies. In addition, the Company performs a significant amount of work for seismic data library companies that acquire seismic data to license to E&P companies rather than for their own use.
NOTE 2: Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The unaudited financial statements contained herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2007.
Effective January 1, 2007, the functional currency of the Canadian subsidiary was changed from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar to reflect the integration of Canadian and U.S. operations into North American operations and the Company began capitalizing certain software development costs in accordance with SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Before January 1, 2007, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income consisted solely of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments of the Canadian subsidiary, and costs incurred on software development were being recorded as research and development expenses.
On November 3, 2006, the Company completed a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock outstanding at a ratio of one share for every ten shares. All share amounts and per share amounts for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the reverse split.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently reviewing SFAS No. 159 to determine if its adoption will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

The Company has three reportable segments, North American seismic data acquisition, International seismic data acquisition, and data processing. The North American and International seismic data acquisition segments acquire data for customers by conducting seismic shooting operations in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent, California, Appalachian and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States, Western Canada, Canadian Artic, Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East, Australia/New Zealand, and the Far East. The data processing segment operates processing centers in Houston, Texas and London, United Kingdom to process seismic data for oil and gas exploration companies worldwide.
The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different services to customers. Each segment is managed separately, has a different customer base, and requires unique and sophisticated technology. There are no inter-segment sales or transfers.

NOTE 4: Acquisitions—Grant Geophysical, Inc.
On September 8, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Grant Geophysical, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Grant”), headquartered in Houston, Texas, for $125 million in cash, subject to adjustment for net debt and working capital. Through the acquisition, the Company increased the number of operational seismic data acquisition service crews and expanded its geographic coverage. Grant had operations in the United States, Western Canada, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Australia/New Zealand, and the Far East, performing two-dimensional
9
and 3D seismic surveys in the land, Transition Zone and shallow water environments, using both analog and digital seismic equipment for a wide range of customers exploring for oil and gas reserves.
NOTE 5: Debt and Capital Lease Obligations
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company’s long-term debt and capital lease obligations were as follows (in thousands):

On December 15, 2006, the Company issued floating rate notes (the “Notes”) in the principal amount of $110.0 million, which were to mature on December 15, 2012. Most of the net proceeds from such issuance was used to repay the Company’s $100.0 million senior loan and accrued interest incurred in connection with the Grant Acquisition and the remainder was retained for general corporate purposes. Concurrently, the Company repaid the $55.0 million original principal amount subordinated loan, together with capitalized and accrued interest, by the issuance of 228,683 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock to the lenders.
Interest on the Notes accrued at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 6.50%, payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2007. These Notes were the Company’s senior obligations, guaranteed by all existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries and secured by a second priority security interest over substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Notes were effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and any future first priority secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Company’s credit facilities, to the extent of the secured assets of any such subsidiary. The Notes and the guarantees were pari passu in right of payment with any of the Company’s future second priority secured indebtedness, and were effectively senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and any future unsecured indebtedness.
On June 14, 2007, the Company redeemed all of its Notes at an aggregate redemption price of $113.3 million, which was equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes of $110.0 million plus a premium of $3.3 million, which was equal to 3% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, along with accrued, but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company recorded a loss on the redemption of the Notes of $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2007 which included $3.6 million of unamortized deferred financing costs.
10
Revolving Credit Line
On June 12, 2006, the Company and four of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”) completed the closing of a credit facility under the terms of a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of June 8, 2006 with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as lender. Under the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers are liable for payment of the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement made the following credit facilities available to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement: (i) a $12.0 million term credit facility, the proceeds of which were used primarily to pay off all of the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries to HSBC Bank Canada, and (ii) a $12.0 million revolving credit facility. The Borrowers pledged as security the assets of the Company to PNC. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants limiting the Company’s ability to incur additional debt and purchase additional assets. On September 8, 2006, the $12 million term credit facility had a balance of $11.6 million outstanding and was fully paid off. No amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
On September 8, 2006, the Company and its principal subsidiaries entered into a Joinder and Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement with PNC which allowed the Company to acquire Grant.
On December 15, 2006, the Company and its principal subsidiaries further amended the Credit Agreement with PNC to reflect the following credit facilities: (i) a $14.5 million revolving credit facility and (ii) a $6.5 million capital expenditures facility.
On May 15, 2007, the Company and its principal subsidiaries further amended the Credit Agreement with PNC to reflect: (i) conversion of the current capital expenditure loans to revolving loans and (ii) a $60 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”). The financial covenants for the credit facility are as follows: the Company must maintain (i) a net worth (defined as assets less liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America) of not less than $175 million and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.0. Other covenants include: no mergers or sale of assets without reinvestment, no conflicting liens on the collateral, no guarantees of other indebtedness, investments are permitted as to only specified forms of investments, capital expenditures are limited to $110.0 million for calendar year 2007, and $50.0 million for calendar year 2008 and beyond, no dividends other than dividends on preferred stock provided that there is no default or event of default and no event of default shall occur as a result, no additional indebtedness except as permitted by the credit facility, no changes in business activities, no changes in constituent documents, no prepayment of debt except under certain circumstances, and no change of control. Additionally at the Company’s option, a $10 million accordion feature can be exercised which would increase the limit on the revolver to $70 million.
At June 30, 2007, the Company had available credit under this facility of $45.1 million (reduced by standby letters of credit totaling $1.0 million issued by PNC under the Revolver).
On July 25, 2006, Quantum, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an equipment lease agreement effective July 28, 2006 with CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. (the “CIT lease”). The parties entered into the lease with respect to the purchase of seismic data acquisition equipment. The term of the lease is three years, beginning on July 28, 2006 and ending on July 28, 2009 with a purchase option at the expiration of the lease term. Payments under the lease total approximately $6.8 million and are payable in 36 equal monthly payments of approximately $190,000. The first rental payment was due August 28, 2006, and the remaining payments are due on the 28th of each month until paid in full. The Company and each of its principal subsidiaries are guarantors of Quantum’s obligations under the lease.
On April 23, 2007, the Company received an amendment and waiver on the CIT lease for exceeding the fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the equipment lease dated July 25, 2006 and measured for the
11
fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The amendment redefined the fixed charge coverage ratio calculation to be consistent with the amended PNC credit facility dated December 15, 2006, discussed above.
NOTE 6: Preferred and Common Stock
Preferred Stock
On December 15, 2006, in connection with the repayment of the $55.0 million subordinated loan, the Company issued 228,683 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock, $10 par value, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 8, 2006, with Avista Capital Partners, L.P. (“Avista”), an affiliate of Avista and another institutional investor. The preferred stock is presented as mezzanine debt due to the characteristics described below:
Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 8.0% per annum on the liquidation preference of $250.00 per share, compounded quarterly. At the Company’s option through October 31, 2011, dividends may be paid in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock. After such date, dividends shall be paid in cash if declared.
Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock, in the event of the Company’s liquidation, will be entitled to a preference over the holders of shares of common stock, equal to $250.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments, plus any accrued dividends.
After March 31, 2014, holders of not less than a majority of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock may require upon written notice to redeem all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in cash, at a price equal to $250.00 per share, plus any accrued dividends.
The Series B Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 10 shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder, subject to adjustment, from time to time, on the terms described in the Company’s certificate of incorporation.
At the Company’s option, each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock, immediately upon the sale of common stock at a price per share yielding net proceeds to the Company of not less than $35.00 per share in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, to provide net proceeds to the Company and selling stockholders, if any, of not less than $75,000,000.
As long as at least 55,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the consent of the holders of a majority of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock will be required to, among other things, make any material change to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, declare a dividend on its common stock, enter into a business combination, increase or decrease the size of its board of directors and they are allowed to elect one member of the board of directors.
If the Company authorizes the issuance and sale of additional shares of its common stock other than pursuant to an underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act, or for non-cash consideration pursuant to a merger or consolidation approved by its board of directors, the Company must first offer in writing to sell to each holder of its Series B Preferred Stock an equivalent pro rata portion of the securities being issued.
Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock have been paid in kind exclusively to date.
12
Common Stock
On February 1, 2007, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1, subsequently amended on April 27, 2007, contemplating an offering of up to 4,500,000 shares of its common stock. On May 11, 2007, the Company listed its common stock on the American Stock Exchange and closed a public offering of 4,500,000 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $28.00 per share on May 15, 2007. The Company used the net proceeds from this offering to redeem all of its outstanding Notes, and the remaining net proceeds were used to repay a portion of its revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
As part of the public offering pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement dated May 10, 2007, the Company and one of the Company’s stockholders granted to the underwriters the option to purchase up to 675,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, exercisable for 30 days on the same terms as the shares under the equity offering. On June 13, 2007, the underwriters exercised their option and purchased 163,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, of which 65,207 were new shares issued by the Company and the remainder were sold by an existing shareholder.
The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 resulted in prospective changes in the Company’s accounting for stock-based compensation awards including recording stock-based compensation expense related to stock options that vested during the quarter on a prospective basis. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $688,300 and $1.3 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively and $405,000 and $733,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The total cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized at June 30, 2007 is approximately $4.9 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 2.07 years.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company has two stock awards plans that are active; the 2002 Stock Awards Plan, adopted in March 2003 and amended in November 2006, has 800,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance and the 2007 Stock Awards Plan, adopted on May 23, 2007, has 750,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance.
Because the Company maintained a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets, the Company did not recognize any tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The price at which a share of common stock may be purchased upon exercise of an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option is determined by the Board of Directors, but in the case of incentive stock options, may not be less than the fair market value of common stock subject to the stock option on the date the stock option is granted. Options are generally exercisable over a three-year period from the date of grant and the options generally expire ten years from the date of grant.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on a number of factors, including historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination for determining the estimated forfeitures. The Company uses the “shortcut” method described in SAB Topic 14D.2 for determining the expected life used in the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the
13
time of the grant. As the Company has not declared common stock dividends since it became a public entity, no dividend yield is used in the calculation. For the options granted during the second quarter of 2006, the following criteria were utilized: (i) an average risk free interest rate of 4.5%, (ii) an average volatility of 159% and (iii) an average contractual life of 6.0 years. Option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is summarized as follows:

The calculation of diluted loss per common share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, excludes the effect of options to purchase 274,451 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 275,105 shares of common stock, 260,610 shares of restricted stock, and preferred stock convertible into 2,379,190 shares of common stock, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN No. 48, which is intended to clarify the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold for a tax position before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Accordingly, the Company will continue to recognize income tax related penalties and interest in its provision for income taxes and, to the extent applicable, in the corresponding balance sheet presentations for accrued income tax assets and liabilities, including any amounts for uncertain tax positions.
As of January 1 and June 30, 2007, the Company did not have any unrecognized net tax benefits, and was subject to tax examinations in the United States for years after 2002 and in foreign tax jurisdictions for years after 2000.
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company has a reported loss before income taxes of $16.0 million and a related tax reduction of $1.7 million and a loss before income taxes of $7.0 million and a related income tax provision of $938,000, respectively. The tax benefit for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 is primarily due to the reversal of the U.S. federal tax provision recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the provision for income taxes relates primarily to countries where the Company is reporting profits and state income tax provisions in the United States.

NOTE 11: Other Supplementary Disclosures
In December 2006, a claim, that at the time was estimated at $4.0 million, was filed with the Company's insurance carrier for the estimated replacement cost of seismic equipment destroyed in a fire. The Company received an advance payment of $2.5 million in February 2007, which was reflected in the financial results for the year ended December 31, 2006. During the current year, the Company settled the claim with the insurance carrier and has received additional amounts of $2.1 million, of which $0.6 million was received in the second quarter. As a result of the redemption of the Floating Rates Notes discussed in Note 5, the Company expensed approximately $6.9 million of costs, including a $3.3 million premium and $3.6 recognition of unamortized deferred financing costs which have been reflected in other expense.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain matters discussed in this quarterly report, except for historical information contained herein, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). When used in this report, words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “estimates”, “intends”, “plans”, “projects” and similar expressions, as they relate to Geokinetics Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) or management, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, business strategy and expectations concerning industry conditions, market position, future operations, profitability, liquidity, backlog and capital resources. Management’s expectations and assumptions regarding Company operations and other future results are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will be correct.
The Company is a full-service, global provider of seismic data acquisition and seismic data processing and interpretation services. The Company believes it is the fourth-largest provider of seismic data acquisition services in land, transition zone and shallow water environments based on total worldwide crew count. The Company’s services are used by oil and natural gas E&P companies to identify and analyze drilling prospects, maximize drilling success, optimize field development and enhance production economics. The Company seeks to differentiate itself from its competitors through its focus on harsh environments, difficult to shoot locations and the innovative application of its specialized equipment and processes. The Company provides its seismic data acquisition services in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent, California, Appalachian and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States, Western Canada, Canadian Arctic, Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East, Australia/New Zealand, and the Far East. The Company primarily performs 3D seismic data surveys for E&P customers, which include many national oil and gas companies, major international oil and gas companies and public and private independent operators. In addition, the Company performs a significant amount of work for seismic data library companies that acquire seismic data to license to E&P companies rather than for their own use.
The seismic services industry is dependent upon the spending levels of oil and natural gas companies for exploration, development, exploitation and production of oil and natural gas. These spending levels have traditionally depended upon the prices of oil and natural gas. During the past three years, the oil and natural gas industry has seen significant increases in activity resulting from continuing high commodity prices for oil and natural gas. The Company’s seismic data acquisition services segment has benefited from these increased levels of activity, as well as from its reputation as a provider of high-quality seismic surveys.
16
The Company has seen its seismic data acquisition services revenues and results of operations improve year after year for the past several years as a result of increased demand for its services, improved contract terms with its customers as well as the acquisitions of Trace Energy Services, Inc. (“Trace”) and Grant Geophysical, Inc. (“Grant”). While demand for the Company’s services continues to increase, the Company continues to experience competition in its marketplace which has prevented it from benefiting from significant increased pricing for its services. The Company will continue to aggressively compete for seismic projects from both existing and prospective customers.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2007, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $71.6 million, as compared to $34.4 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 108%. This increase in revenue is attributable primarily to the Company’s seismic data acquisition segment and the acquisition of Grant. For three months ended June 30, 2007, seismic data acquisition revenue totaled $68.7 million as compared to $33.1 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 108%. This increase in seismic data acquisition revenue is primarily attributable to the Company’s acquisition of Grant, completed in September of 2006, improved contract terms, investment in additional crew capacity and continued strong demand for the Company’s services. Seismic data acquisition revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007, includes $32.7 million or 48% of total revenue from North America and $36.0 million or 52% of total revenue from International. Seismic data processing revenue totaled $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $1.3 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 123% due to increased demand for processing of seismic data combined with increased marketing efforts.
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007, totaled $64.1 million as compared to $26.8 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 139%. This increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to the Company’s seismic data acquisition segment. Seismic data acquisition operating expenses totaled $61.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007,as compared to $24.9 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 146%. Increased operating expenses at the Company’s seismic data acquisition segment are primarily the result of the acquisition of Grant, severe weather experienced in the United States, the accrual of losses for a project that was declared force majeure and cancelled, and increased seismic data acquisition activity. Seismic data acquisition operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007, includes $28.1 million, or 46% of total operating expenses from North America, and $33.2 million or 54% of total operating expenses from International. Seismic data processing operating expenses totaled $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $1.9 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 42% due to increased activity.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007, were $6.5 million as compared to $2.7 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 141%. This increase is primarily the result of the Company’s acquisition of Grant and the related general and administrative expenses acquired, salary expenses associated with increased personnel levels due to the Company’s overall growth, Sarbanes Oxley implementation costs, increased sales and administrative costs in the Company’s data processing segment and increased bonus accruals due to higher activity levels under the Company’s incentive plans.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007, totaled $8.2 million as compared to $1.9 million for the same period of 2006, resulting in an increase of $6.3 million or 332%. This is primarily attributable to depreciation expense resulting from the acquisition of Grant, additional capital equipment acquired and amortization of acquired intangibles from the Grant acquisition.
17
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007, increased by $3.1 million to $3.3 million as compared to $210,000 for the same period of 2006. This increase is primarily due to interest incurred on the $110.0 million Floating Rate Notes (the “Notes”). In addition, there was a $6.9 million loss on the redemption of the Notes which consisted of a $3.3 million premium and recognition of $3.6 million of unamortized financing costs.
The Company had a reduction in its provision for income taxes of $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a provision for income taxes of $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006. The change is due to decreased profitability in the U.S., partially offset by increased foreign taxes.
The Company had a loss applicable to common stockholders of $15.4 million, or $(1.95) per common share on a fully diluted basis per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to an income applicable to common stockholders of $1.6 million, or $0.27 per common share on a fully diluted basis, for the same period of 2006.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
Revenue for the first six months of 2007 totaled $182.6 million as compared to $82.8 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 121%. This increase in revenue is attributable primarily to the Company’s seismic data acquisition segment and the acquisition of Grant. For the first six months of 2007, seismic data acquisition revenue totaled $177.1 million as compared to $80.2 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 121%. This increase in seismic data acquisition revenue is primarily attributable to the Company’s acquisition of Grant, completed in September of 2006, improved contract terms, investment in additional crew capacity and continued strong demand for the Company’s services. Seismic data acquisition revenue for the first six months of 2007 includes $83.3 million or 47% of total revenue from North America and $93.8 million or 53% of total revenue from International. Seismic data processing revenue totaled $5.5 million for the first six months of 2007 as compared to $2.7 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 104% due to increased demand for processing of seismic data combined with increased marketing efforts.
Operating expenses for the first six months of 2007 totaled $178.7 million as compared to $66.2 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 170%. This increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to the Company’s seismic data acquisition segment. Seismic data acquisition operating expenses totaled $142.1 million for the first six months of 2007 as compared to $62.5 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 127%. Increased operating expenses at the Company’s seismic data acquisition segment are primarily the result of the acquisition of Grant, severe weather experienced in the United States, the accrual of losses for a project that was declared force majeure and cancelled and increased seismic data acquisition activity. Seismic data acquisition operating expenses for the first six months of 2007 includes $69.2 million, or 49% of total operating expenses from North America, and $72.9 million or 51% of total operating expenses from International. Seismic data processing operating expenses totaled $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $3.7 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 38% due to increased activity.
General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2007 were $15.7 million as compared to $6.1 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 157%. This increase is primarily the result of the Company’s acquisition of Grant and the related general and administrative expenses acquired, salary expenses associated with increased personnel levels due to the Company’s overall growth, Sarbanes Oxley implementation costs, increased sales and administrative costs in the Company’s data processing segment, and increased bonus accruals due to higher activity levels under the Company’s incentive plans.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the first six months of 2007 totaled $15.7 million as compared to $3.6 million for the same period of 2006, resulting in an increase of $12.1 million or 336%.
18
This is primarily attributable to depreciation expense resulting from the acquisition of Grant, additional capital equipment acquired and amortization of acquired intangibles with the Grant acquisition.
Interest expense for the first six months of 2007 increased by $7.0 million to $7.4 million as compared to $440,000 for the same period of 2006. This increase is primarily due to interest incurred on the Notes. In addition, there was a $6.9 million loss on the redemption of the Notes which consisted of a $3.3 million premium and recognition of $3.6 million of unamortized finance costs.
Provision for income taxes was $0.9 million for the first six months of 2007, compared to $2.7 million for the first six months of 2006. The decrease is due to decreased profitability in the United States partially offset by income taxes of foreign subsidiaries.
The Company had a loss applicable to common stockholders of $10.3 million, or $(1.53) per common share on a fully diluted basis per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to an income applicable to common stockholders of $3.9 million, or $0.66 per common share on a fully diluted basis, for the same period of 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s primary sources of cash are cash flow generated by its seismic data acquisition and seismic data processing segments, debt and equity transactions, use of its revolving credit facility, equipment financing and trade credit. The Company’s primary uses of cash are for operating expenses associated with its seismic data acquisition and seismic data processing segments and expenditures associated with upgrading and expanding the Company’s capital asset base. The Company’s ability to maintain adequate cash balances is dependent upon levels of future demand for the services it provides to its customers.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.7 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to $9.9 million for the first six months of 2006. These amounts result from the Company’s operating results adjusted by changes in working capital. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2007 was primarily the result of reduced operating profits during the six months ended June 30, 2007 resulting from weather issues in the United States and losses on an international project as a result of cancellation due to force majeure and working capital adjustments.
Net cash used in investing activities was $30.3 million for the first six months of 2007 and $2.6 million for the first six months of 2006. The increase in net cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2007 was primarily the result of significant investments in capital expenditures. In the first six months of 2006, the Company invested $2.6 million in capital expenditures. In the first six months of 2007, the Company invested $32.6 million in capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $18.6 million for the first six months of 2007 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $5.6 million for the first six months of 2006. These totals represent the net proceeds and net payments either received or paid from the Company’s public equity offering and service of its debt obligations. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to funds received from the issuance of common stock discussed below.
Common Stock
On February 1, 2007, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1, subsequently amended on April 27, 2007, contemplating an offering of up to 4,500,000 shares of its common stock. On May 11, 2007, the Company listed its common stock on the American Stock Exchange and closed a public offering of 4,500,000 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $28.00 per share on May 15, 2007. The Company used the net proceeds of approximately $118 million from this offering to redeem all of its
19
outstanding Floating Rates Notes (as discussed below) including, principal, premium and accrued interest, and the remaining net proceeds were used to repay a portion of its revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes
As part of the public offering pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement dated May 10, 2007, the Company and one of the Company’s stockholders granted to the underwriters the option to purchase up to 675,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, exercisable for 30 days on the same terms as the shares under the equity offering. On June 13, 2007, the underwriters exercised their option and purchased 163,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, of which 65,207 were new shares issued by the Company and the remainder was sold by an existing shareholder.
Floating Rate Notes
On December 15, 2006, the Company issued Floating Rate Notes (the “Notes”) in the principal amount of $110.0 million. Most of the net proceeds from such issuance was used to repay the Company’s $100.0 million senior loan and accrued interest incurred in connection with the Grant Acquisition and the remainder retained for general corporate purposes. Concurrently, the Company repaid the $55.0 million original principal amount subordinated loan, together with capitalized and accrued interest, by the issuance of 228,683 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock to the lenders.
Interest on the Notes accrued at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 6.50%, payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2007. The Notes were to mature on December 15, 2012. These Notes were the Company’s senior obligations, guaranteed by all existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, and secured by a second priority security interest over substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Notes were effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and any future first priority secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Company’s credit facilities, to the extent of the assets of such subsidiaries. The Notes and the guarantees were pari passu in right of payment with any of the Company’s future second priority secured indebtedness, and were effectively senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and any future unsecured indebtedness.
On June 14, 2007, the Company redeemed all of its Notes at an aggregate redemption price of $113.3 million, which was equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes of $110.0 million plus a premium of $3.3 million, which was equal to 3% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, along with accrued, but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company recorded a loss on the redemption of the Notes of $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2007 which included $3.6 million of unamortized deferred financing costs.
Revolving Credit Lines
On June 12, 2006, the Company and four of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”) completed the closing of a credit facility under the terms of a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of June 8, 2006 with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as lender. Under the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers are liable for payment of the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement made the following credit facilities available to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement: (i) a $12.0 million term credit facility, the proceeds of which were used primarily to pay off all of the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries to HSBC Bank Canada, and (ii) a $12.0 million revolving credit facility. The Borrowers pledged as security the assets of the Company to PNC. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants limiting the Company’s ability to incur additional debt and purchase additional assets. On September 8, 2006, the $12 million term credit facility had a balance of $11.6 million outstanding and was fully paid off. No amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
20
On September 8, 2006, the Company and its principal subsidiaries entered into a Joinder and Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement with PNC which allowed the Company to acquire Grant.
On December 15, 2006, the Company and its principal subsidiaries further amended the Credit Agreement with PNC to reflect the following credit facilities: (i) a $14.5 million revolving credit facility and (ii) a $6.5 million capital expenditures facility.
On May 15, 2007, the Company and its principal subsidiaries further amended the Credit Agreement with PNC to reflect: (i) conversion of the current capital expenditure loans to revolving loans and (ii) a $60 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”). The financial covenants for the credit facility are as follows: the Company must maintain (i) a net worth (defined as assets less liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America) of not less than $175 million and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.0. Other covenants include: no mergers or sale of assets without reinvestment, no conflicting liens on the collateral, no guarantees of other indebtedness, investments are permitted as to only specified forms of investments, capital expenditures are limited to $110.0 million for calendar year 2007, and $50.0 million for calendar year 2008 and beyond, no dividends other than dividends on preferred stock provided that there is no default or event of default and no event of default shall occur as a result, no additional indebtedness except as permitted by the credit facility, no changes in business activities, no changes in constituent documents, no prepayment of debt except under certain circumstances, and no change of control.
At June 30, 2007, the Company had available credit under this facility of $45.1 million reduced by standby letters of credit totaling $1.0 million issued by PNC under the revolver. At June 30, 2007, the Company had a balance of approximately $13.9 million drawn under the Revolver.
Capital Lease Obligations
On July 25, 2006, Quantum, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an equipment lease agreement effective July 28, 2006 with CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. (the “CIT lease”). The parties entered into the lease with respect to the purchase of seismic data acquisition equipment. The term of the lease is three years, beginning on July 28, 2006 and ending on July 28, 2009 with a purchase option at the expiration of the lease term. Payments under the lease total approximately $6.8 million and are payable in 36 equal monthly payments of approximately $190,000. The first rental payment was due August 28, 2006, and the remaining payments are due on the 28th of each month until paid in full. The Company and each of its principal subsidiaries are guarantors of Quantum’s obligations under the lease.
On April 23, 2007, the Company received an amendment and waiver on the CIT lease for exceeding the fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the equipment lease dated July 25, 2006 and measured for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The amendment redefined the fixed charge coverage ratio calculation to be consistent with the amended PNC credit facility dated December 15, 2006, discussed above.
The Company believes that its current cash balances, debt capacity and anticipated cash flow from its seismic data acquisition and seismic data processing operations will provide sufficient liquidity to continue operations beyond 2007. While industry conditions have improved, the Company continues to experience significant competition in its markets. Should the Company’s current sources of liquidity not meet its operating requirements, the Company would be forced to seek outside sources of capital to meet its operating and capital requirements or curtail its capital expenditure program.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements for the first six months ended June 30, 2007 that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition,
21
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation Number 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), which is intended to clarify the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold for a tax position before being recognized in the financial statements. See Note 10, Income Taxes, for further discussion. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, for a description of other changes to the Company’s Critical Accounting Policies.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company capitalized software development costs in accordance with SOP 98 -1 and FAS 86. These costs are incurred by the Company’s data processing segment to develop new software which will allow the Company to provide new products and services.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of operations, the Company is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates. Market risk is defined for these purposes as the potential for change in the fair value of debt instruments resulting from an adverse movement in interest rates. As of June 30, 2007, the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair market value due to the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of debt reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value because, in general, the interest on the underlying instruments approximates market rates. The Company is not a party to any hedge arrangements, commodity swap agreement or other derivative financial instruments. The Company’s seismic data acquisition and seismic data processing segments utilize foreign subsidiaries and branches to conduct operations outside of the United States. These operations expose the Company to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. With the acquisition of Grant, the Company has increased its exposure to these market risks with the addition of significant international operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company has performed an evaluation of the design, operation and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2007. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in enabling the Company to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act within the required time period. There have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act) during the first six months ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
22
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any pending legal proceedings other than certain routine litigation that is incidental to the Company’s business and that the Company believes is unlikely to materially impact the Company. Moreover, the Company is not aware of any such legal proceedings that are contemplated by governmental authorities with respect to the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties.
