Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (“Form 10-Q/A”) to our previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005, initially filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 28, 2005 (“Original Filing”), reflects a restatement of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Previously issued financial statements are being restated to properly reflect losses incurred as a result of an embezzlement whereby payments were made to or for the benefit of Jonathan D. Nelson (“Nelson”), our former Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), that had been reflected in previously issued financial statements as payments for assets and services that were not received by the Company. Previously issued financial statements are also being restated for the effects of the correction of other errors that are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate. These other adjustments relate primarily to previously reported property and equipment balances that resulted from our review of our property and equipment records and the underlying physical assets in connection with investigation of the embezzlement.
The total amount embezzled was approximately $77.5 million in cash, excluding any tax effects, beginning with the year ended December 31, 1998 through November 3, 2005 as follows (in thousands):
From 1998 to December 31, 2004 | $ | 58,961 | |||
From January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005 | 12,193 | ||||
Total through September 30, 2005 | 71,154 | ||||
From October 1, 2005 to November 3, 2005 (net of $1,500 repayment) | 6,350 | ||||
Total embezzlement | $ | 77,504 | |||
On November 16, 2005 the SEC obtained a freeze order on Nelson’s assets (including assets held by entities controlled by him) and a Receiver was appointed to collect those assets. The Company understands that the Receiver will ultimately liquidate the assets and propose a plan to distribute the proceeds. While the Company believes it has a claim for at least the full amount embezzled, other creditors have or may assert claims on the assets held by the Receiver. As a result, recovery by the Company from the Receiver is uncertain as to timing and amount, if any. Recoveries, if any, will be recognized when they are considered collectable.
The effects of the embezzlement on the Company’s financial position follow (in thousands):
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
Decrease in Amounts Previously Reported | 2005 | 2004 | ||||||
Assets | $ | (62,231 | ) | $ | (56,133 | ) | ||

(1) | Consists of increases in Federal and state income taxes payable of $2.2 million and $1.3 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and decreases in deferred tax liabilities of $25.3 million and $22.2 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. |

PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Basis of Consolidation and Presentation |
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management of the Company, without audit, pursuant to 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 United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for presentation of the information have been included.
The Company’s former Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Jonathan D. Nelson (“Nelson”), perpetrated an embezzlement over a period of more than five years. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the effects of losses incurred as a result of the embezzlement in the periods of occurrence. Payments related to the embezzlement previously capitalized as property and equipment and goodwill acquired, and the related depreciation and other amounts expensed have been reversed from the Company’s accounting records. Embezzled payments have been recognized as expense in the periods they were embezzled. The cumulative effects of the embezzlement prior to 2004, have been recognized as a reduction of retained earnings. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have also been restated for the effects of the correction of other errors that are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate (See Note 2).
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, as presented herein, was derived from the audited balance sheet of the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004.
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company’s operations except for its Canadian operations, which use the Canadian dollar as their functional currency. The effects of exchange rate changes are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity (see Note 5 of these Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
The Company provides a dual presentation of its earnings per share in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income: Basic Earnings per Share (“Basic EPS”) and Diluted Earnings per Share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the assumed exercise of dilutive instruments, including stock options and warrants, less the number of treasury shares assumed to be purchased with the exercise proceeds. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, all potentially dilutive options and warrants were included in the calculation of Diluted EPS. The following table presents information necessary to calculate earnings per

2. | Embezzlement and Restatements |
On November 3, 2005, the Company announced the resignation of its CFO, Jonathan D. Nelson. On November 10, 2005, the Company announced that, based on information received by Company senior management on November 9, 2005, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors began an investigation into an embezzlement from the Company by Nelson.
Most of the embezzled funds result from Nelson causing the wiring of Company funds aggregating approximately $72.3 million, to, or for the benefit of, entities owned and controlled by him. Nelson was originally able to initiate these wire transfers by requesting the wire transfers himself in telephone calls to one of the Company’s banks. After changes to the Company’s internal controls and procedures in 2004, Nelson initiated the wire transfers through instructions to one of his subordinates and by the creation of fraudulent invoices containing forged senior management approvals. This false documentation was created by our former CFO to conceal the true nature of these transactions from the Company and its independent registered public accountants.
Nelson also instructed certain former employees, who worked under his supervision, to alter management reports related to property and equipment expenditures and created fictitious property and equipment approval forms with forged signatures.
On December 22, 2005, upon recommendation of Company management and the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors, the Company announced that based on the result to date of its ongoing internal investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding the embezzlement by Nelson, the Company would

restate its previously issued financial statements and amend its previously issued Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2005. These restatements reflect losses incurred as a result of payments made to or for the benefit of Nelson that had been recognized in the Company’s accounting records and previously issued financial statements as payments for assets and services that were not received by the Company.
The total amount embezzled was approximately $77.5 million in cash, excluding any tax effects, beginning with the year ended December 31, 1998 through November 3, 2005 as follows (in thousands):
From 1998 to December 31, 2004 | $ | 58,961 | |||
From January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005 | 12,193 | ||||
Total through September 30, 2005 | 71,154 | ||||
From October 1, 2005 to November 3, 2005 (net of $1,500 repayment) | 6,350 | ||||
Total embezzlement | $ | 77,504 | |||
The Company promptly advised the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) when it became aware of the embezzlement. The SEC promptly obtained a freeze order on Nelson’s assets (including assets held by entities controlled by him) and a Receiver was appointed to collect those assets. The United States attorney for the Northern District of Texas obtained an indictment against Nelson and investigation of this matter continues.
The Company understands that the Receiver will ultimately liquidate the assets and propose a plan to distribute the proceeds. While the Company believes it has a claim for at least the full amount embezzled, other creditors have or may assert claims on the assets held by the Receiver. As a result, recovery by the Company from the Receiver is uncertain as to timing and amount, if any. Recoveries, if any, will be recognized when they are considered collectable.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been restated to provide for, net of related tax effects, (1) the effects of losses incurred as a result of the former CFO’s embezzlement and (2) the effects of the correction of other errors that are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate. These other adjustments relate primarily to previously reported property and equipment balances that resulted from our review of the Company’s property and equipment records and the underlying physical assets in connection with the investigation of the embezzlement as well as the tax effects of our foreign currency translation adjustment.

was accounted for as an acquisition of assets and the purchase price was allocated among the assets acquired based on their estimated fair market values.
On June 17, 2005, the Company acquired one land-based drilling rig for $3.6 million. The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of assets and the purchase price was allocated to the acquired drilling rig.
4. | Stock-based Compensation |
During June 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved the Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). In addition, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution that no future grants would be made under any of the previously existing equity plans of the Company. The Company accounts for activity under the 2005 Plan and previous activity of other equity plans using the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees(“APB 25”), and related interpretations. During the second quarters of 2004 and 2005, the Company granted restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Restricted Shares”) to certain key employees under the Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, and the 2005 Plan. As required by APB 25, the Restricted Shares were valued based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The resulting value is being amortized over the vesting period of the stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compensation expense of $399,000 and $700,000, net of $56,000 and $131,000 of forfeitures and of $233,000 and $408,000 of taxes, respectively, was included as a reduction in net income. Compensation expense of $165,000, net of $97,000 of taxes, was included as a reduction in net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. Other than the Restricted Shares discussed above, no additional stock-based employee compensation expense is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plans discussed above had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(“SFAS 123”), to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts):

8. | Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position Financial Accounting Standard19-1,Accounting for Suspended Well Costs (“FAS 19-1”), in April 2005. FAS 19-1 provides guidance on accounting for exploratory well costs for entities that use the successful efforts method of accounting as described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 19,Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies, (“SFAS 19”). Exploration activities are frequently performed in more remote areas, to greater depths, and in more complex geological formations than the exploration activities that occurred when SFAS 19 was issued in 1977. These changes in exploration activities have resulted in an increased frequency of exploratory wells that successfully find reserves that cannot be recognized as proved when drilling is completed and a lengthened evaluation period for determining whether the reserves qualify as proved. The FASB staff believes that exploratory well costs should continue to be capitalized when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and the enterprise is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project and SFAS 19 is amended to clarify this position. The Company intends to adopt these accounting and disclosure requirements prospectively to existing and newly capitalized exploratory well costs in the third quarter of 2005 and does not expect a significant impact on financial position or results of operations.
The FASB issued Staff Position FIN 46(R)-5,Implicit Variable Interests Under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), in March 2005. It addresses whether a reporting enterprise should consider whether it holds an implicit variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or potential VIE when specific conditions exist. The Company does not expect any impact on its financial position or results of operations as a result of its adoption of FIN 46(R)-5 in the second quarter of 2005.
The FASB issued Staff Position FIN 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, in March 2005. The Interpretation is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The statement clarifies the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB 143. The Company believes that it is already in compliance with the statement and does not expect any impact on financial position or results of operations when adopted.
The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment(“SFAS 123(R)”), in December 2004; it replaces SFAS 123, and supersedes APB 25. Under SFAS 123(R), companies would have been required to implement the standard as of the beginning of the first interim reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. However, in April 2005, the SEC announced the adoption of an Amendment to Rule 4-01(a) of Regulation S-X regarding the compliance date for SFAS 123(R) that amends the compliance dates and allows companies to implement SFAS 123(R) beginning with the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2005. The Company intends to adopt SFAS 123(R) in its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006.

The Company currently uses the intrinsic value method to value stock options, and accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options since the Company grants stock options with exercise prices equal to the Company’s common stock market price on the date of the grant. SFAS 123(R) requires the expensing of all stock-based compensation, including stock options and restricted shares, using the fair value method. The Company intends to expense stock options using the Modified Prospective Transition method as described in SFAS 123(R). This method will require expense to be recognized for stock options over their respective remaining vesting periods. No expense will be recognized for stock options vested in periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R). The Company is evaluating the impact of its adoption of SFAS 123(R) on its results of operations and financial position. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 151,Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4(“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 is effective, and will be adopted, for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and is to be applied prospectively. SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4,Inventory Pricing,to require current period recognition of abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage). Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 153,Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29(“SFAS 153”). SFAS 153 is effective, and will be adopted, for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and is to be applied prospectively. SFAS 153 eliminates the exception for fair value treatment of nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3(“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 is effective, and will be adopted, for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and is to be applied retrospectively. SFAS 154 requires that retroactive application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, amends and restates the financial statements and related financial information for all periods presented herein. The determination to restate these financial statements and other information was made as a result of management’s identification of an embezzlement. Further information on the restatement can be found in Note 2 to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management Overview — We are a leading provider of contract services to the North American oil and natural gas industry. Our services primarily involve the drilling, on a contract basis, of land-based oil and natural gas wells and, to a lesser extent, we provide pressure pumping services and drilling and completion fluid services. In addition to the aforementioned contract services, we also engage in the development, exploration, acquisition and production of oil and natural gas. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, our operating revenues consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

We provide our contract services to oil and natural gas operators in many of the oil and natural gas producing regions of North America. Our contract drilling operations are focused in various regions of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Western Canada, while our pressure pumping services are focused primarily in the Appalachian Basin. Our drilling and completion fluids services are provided to operators in Texas, Southeastern New Mexico, Oklahoma, the Gulf Coast region of Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico. Our oil and natural gas operations are primarily focused in West and South Texas, Southeastern New Mexico, Utah and Mississippi.
We have been a leading consolidator of the land-based contract drilling industry over the past several years, increasing our drilling fleet to 397 rigs as of June 30, 2005. Based on publicly available information, we believe we are the second largest owner of land-based drilling rigs in North America. Growth by acquisition has been a corporate strategy intended to expand both revenues and profits.
The profitability of our business is most readily assessed by two primary indicators: our average number of rigs operating and our average revenue per operating day. During the second quarter of 2005, our average number of rigs operating increased to 265 from 263 in the first quarter of 2005 and 203 in the second quarter of 2004. Our average revenue per operating day increased to $13,690 in the second quarter of 2005 from $12,490 in the first quarter of 2005 and $10,190 in the second quarter of 2004. Primarily due to these improvements, we experienced an increase of approximately $57.2 million, or 341%, in consolidated net income for the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004.
Our revenues, profitability and cash flows are highly dependent upon the market prices of oil and natural gas. During periods of improved commodity prices, the capital spending budgets of oil and natural gas operators tend to expand, which results in increased demand for our contract services. Conversely, in periods of time when these commodity prices deteriorate, the demand for our contract services generally weakens and we experience downward pressure on pricing for our services. In addition, our operations are highly impacted by competition, the availability of excess equipment, labor issues and various other factors which are more fully described as risk factors in our “Forward Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements for Purposes of the ‘Safe Harbor’ Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004, beginning on page 18.
Management believes that the liquidity of our balance sheet as of June 30, 2005, which includes approximately $255 million in working capital (including $70 million in cash), no long-term debt and
23
Table of Contents
$144 million available under a $200 million line of credit (availability of $56 million is reserved for outstanding letters of credit), provides us with the ability to pursue acquisition opportunities, expand into new regions, make improvements to our assets and survive downturns in our industry.
Commitments and Contingencies — The Company has no commitments or contingent liabilities which require disclosure in its financial statements other than letters of credit of approximately $56 million at June 30, 2005, maintained for the benefit of various insurance companies as collateral for retrospective premiums and retained losses which may become payable under the terms of the underlying insurance contracts. No amounts have been drawn under the letters of credit.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 includes embezzlement expense of approximately $5.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 includes embezzlement expenses of approximately $6.8 million and $8.7 million, respectively. On November 16, 2005, the SEC obtained a freeze order on Nelson’s assets (including assets held by entities controlled by him) and a Receiver was appointed to collect those assets. The Company understands that the Receiver will ultimately liquidate the assets and propose a plan to distribute the proceeds. While the Company believes it has a claim for at least the full amount embezzled, other creditors have or may assert claims on the assets held by the Receiver. As a result, recovery by the Company from the Receiver is uncertain as to timing and amount, if any. Recoveries, if any, will be recognized when they are considered collectable.
Trading and Investing — We have not engaged in trading activities that include high-risk securities, such as derivatives and non-exchange traded contracts. We invest cash primarily in highly liquid, short-term investments such as overnight deposits, money markets, and highly rated municipal and commercial bonds.
Description of Business — We conduct our contract drilling operations in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Western Canada. As of June 30, 2005, we owned 397 drilling rigs. We provide pressure pumping services to oil and natural gas operators primarily in the Appalachian Basin. These services consist primarily of well stimulation and cementing for completion of new wells and remedial work on existing wells. We provide drilling fluids, completion fluids and related services to oil and natural gas operators in Texas, Southeastern New Mexico, Oklahoma, the Gulf Coast region of Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico. Drilling and completion fluids are used by oil and natural gas operators during the drilling process to control pressure when drilling oil and natural gas wells. We are also engaged in the development, exploration, acquisition and production of oil and natural gas. Our oil and natural gas operations are focused primarily in producing regions in West and South Texas, Southeastern New Mexico, Utah and Mississippi.
The North American land drilling industry has experienced periods of downturn in demand over the last decade. During these periods, there have been substantially more drilling rigs available than necessary to meet demand. As a result, drilling contractors have had difficulty sustaining profit margins during the downturn periods.
In addition to adverse effects that future declines in demand could have on us, ongoing factors which could adversely affect utilization rates and pricing, even in an environment of stronger oil and natural gas prices and increased drilling activity, include:
• | movement of drilling rigs from region to region, | |
• | reactivation of land-based drilling rigs, or | |
• | new construction of drilling rigs. |
We cannot predict either the future level of demand for our contract drilling services or future conditions in the oil and natural gas contract drilling business.
Critical Accounting Policies
In addition to established accounting policies, our consolidated financial statements are impacted by certain estimates and assumptions made by management. The following is a discussion of our critical
24
Table of Contents
accounting policies pertaining to property and equipment, oil and natural gas properties, goodwill, revenue recognition, and the use of estimates.
Property and equipment — Property and equipment, including betterments which extend the useful life of the asset, are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. We provide for the depreciation of our property and equipment using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Our method of depreciation does not change when equipment becomes idle; we continue to depreciate idled equipment on a straight-line basis. No provision for salvage value is considered in determining depreciation of our property and equipment. We review our assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values of certain assets either exceed their respective fair values or may not be recovered over their estimated remaining useful lives. The cyclical nature of our industry has resulted in fluctuations in rig utilization over periods of time. Management believes that the contract drilling industry will continue to be cyclical and rig utilization will fluctuate. Based on management’s expectations of future trends we estimate future cash flows in our assessment of impairment assuming the following four-year industry cycle: one year projected with low utilization, one year projected as a recovery period with improving utilization and the remaining two years projecting higher utilization. Provisions for asset impairment are charged to income when estimated future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, are less than the asset’s net book value. Impairment charges are recorded based on discounted cash flows. Other than to our oil and natural gas properties, there were no impairment charges to property and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2005 or 2004.
Oil and natural gas properties — Oil and natural gas properties are accounted for using the successful efforts method of accounting. Under the successful efforts method of accounting, exploration costs which result in the discovery of oil and natural gas reserves and all development costs are capitalized to the appropriate well. Exploration costs which do not result in discovering oil and natural gas reserves are charged to expense when such determination is made. In accordance with SFAS 19, costs of exploratory wells are initially capitalized to wells in progress until the outcome of the drilling is known. We review wells in progress quarterly to determine the related reserve classification. If the reserve classification is uncertain after one year following the completion of drilling, we consider the costs of the well to be impaired and recognize the costs as expense. Geological and geophysical costs, including seismic costs and costs to carry and retain undeveloped properties, are charged to expense when incurred. The capitalized costs of both developmental and successful exploratory type wells, consisting of lease and well equipment, lease acquisition costs, and intangible development costs, are depreciated, depleted, and amortized on theunits-of-production method, based on petroleum engineer estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves of each respective field. We review our proved oil and natural gas properties for impairment when an event occurs such as downward revisions in reserve estimates or decreases in oil and natural gas prices. Proved properties are grouped by field and undiscounted cash flow estimates are provided by our reserve engineer. If the net book value of a field exceeds its undiscounted cash flow estimate, impairment expense is measured and recognized as the difference between its net book value and discounted cash flow. Unproved oil and natural gas properties are reviewed quarterly to determine impairment. Our intent to drill, lease expiration, and abandonment of area are considered. Assessment of impairment is made on a lease-by-lease basis. If an unproved property is determined to be impaired, then costs related to that property are expensed. Impairment expense of approximately $216,000 and $818,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and $1.7 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, is included in depreciation, depletion and impairment in the accompanying financial statements.
Goodwill — Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite useful economic life and is not amortized. As such, we assess impairment of our goodwill annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset has decreased below its carrying value.
Revenue recognition — Revenues are recognized when services are performed, except for revenues earned under turnkey contract drilling arrangements which are recognized using the completed contract method of accounting, as described below. We follow thepercentage-of-completion method of accounting for footage contract drilling arrangements. Under thepercentage-of-completion method, management estimates are relied upon in the determination of the total estimated expenses to be incurred drilling the well. Due to the
25
Table of Contents
nature of turnkey contract drilling arrangements and risks therein, we follow the completed contract method of accounting for such arrangements. Under this method, all drilling revenues and expenses related to a well in progress are deferred and recognized in the period the well is completed. Provisions for losses on incomplete or in-process wells are made when estimated total expenses are expected to exceed estimated total revenues.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-14, we recognize reimbursements due from third parties forout-of-pocket expenses incurred as revenues and account forout-of-pocket expenses as direct costs.
Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Key estimates used by management include:
• | allowance for doubtful accounts, | |
• | total expenses to be incurred on footage and turnkey drilling contracts, | |
• | depreciation, depletion, and amortization, | |
• | asset impairment, | |
• | reserves for self-insured levels of insurance coverages, and | |
• | fair values of assets and liabilities assumed in acquisitions. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2005, we had working capital of approximately $255 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $70.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, our significant sources of cash flow included:
• | $159.1 million provided by operations, | |
• | $29.3 million from the exercise of stock options, and | |
• | $8.8 million in proceeds from sales of property and equipment. |
We used $65.4 million to purchase land drilling assets from Key Energy Services, Inc. and one additional land-based drilling rig, $13.5 million to pay dividends on the Company’s common stock and $162.2 million:
• | to make capital expenditures for the betterment and refurbishment of our drilling rigs, | |
• | to acquire and procure drilling equipment, | |
• | to fund capital expenditures for our pressure pumping and drilling and completion fluids divisions, and | |
• | to fund leasehold acquisition and exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties. |
In January 2005, the Company purchased land drilling assets of Key Energy Services, Inc. for $61.8 million. The assets acquired included 25 active and 10 stacked land-based drilling rigs, related drilling equipment, yard facilities and a rig moving fleet consisting of approximately 45 trucks and 100 trailers. In June 2005, the Company acquired one land-based drilling rig for $3.6 million. The transactions were accounted for as acquisitions of assets and the respective purchase price was allocated among the assets acquired based on their estimated fair market values.
On February 16, 2005 and April 27, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved cash dividends on its common stock in the amount of $0.04 per share. The dividends of approximately $6.7 million and $6.8 million were paid on March 4, 2005 and June 1, 2005, respectively.
26
Table of Contents
On July 27, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 on each outstanding share of its common stock to be paid on September 1, 2005 to holders of record as of August 16, 2005. The amount and timing of all future dividend payments is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon business conditions, results of operations, financial condition, terms of the Company’s credit facilities and other factors.
We believe that the current level of cash and short-term investments, together with cash generated from operations, should be sufficient to meet our capital needs. From time to time, acquisition opportunities are evaluated. The timing, size or success of any acquisition and the associated capital commitments are unpredictable. Should opportunities for growth requiring capital arise, we believe we would be able to satisfy these needs through a combination of working capital, cash generated from operations, our existing credit facility and additional debt or equity financing. However, there can be no assurance that such capital would be available.

Revenues and direct operating costs increased as a result of the increased number of operating days, as well as an increase in the average revenue and average direct operating costs per operating day. Operating days and average rigs operating increased as a result of increased demand for our contract drilling services and the acquisition of land drilling assets from Key Energy Services, Inc. in January 2005. Average revenue per operating day increased as a result of increased demand and pricing for our drilling services. Significant capital expenditures were incurred during the second quarter of 2005 to activate additional drilling rigs to meet increased demand, to modify and upgrade our existing drilling rigs and to acquire additional related equipment such as drill pipe, drill collars, engines, fluid circulating systems, rig hoisting systems and safety enhancement

Revenues and direct operating costs for our pressure pumping operations increased primarily as a result of the increased number of jobs. The increase in jobs was largely attributable to increased demand for our services and increased operating capacity which was added in 2004 and the first six months of 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased largely as a result of the expanding operations of the pressure pumping segment. Increased depreciation expense for the 2005 quarter was largely due to the expansion of the pressure pumping segment through capital expenditures during 2004 and 2005. Significant capital expenditures were incurred during the second quarter of 2005 to modify and upgrade existing equipment and to add additional equipment to the segment’s expanded operations to meet increased demand.

Volatility of Oil and Natural Gas Prices and its Impact on Operations
Our revenue, profitability, and future rate of growth are substantially dependent upon prevailing prices for oil and natural gas, with respect to all of our operating segments. For many years, oil and natural gas prices and markets have been volatile. Prices are affected by market supply and demand factors as well as international military, political and economic conditions, and the ability of OPEC, to set and maintain production and price targets. All of these factors are beyond our control. Natural gas prices fell from an average of $6.23 per Mcf in the first quarter of 2001 to an average of $2.51 per Mcf for the same period in 2002. During this same period, the average number of our rigs operating dropped by approximately 50%. The average market price of natural gas improved from $3.36 in 2002 to $5.45 in 2003 to $5.95 in 2004 and $6.94 in the second quarter of 2005, resulting in an increase in demand for our drilling services. Our average number of rigs operating increased from 126 in 2002 to 188 in 2003 to 211 in 2004 and 265 in the second quarter of 2005. We expect oil and natural gas prices to continue to be volatile and to affect our financial condition and operations and ability to access sources of capital.
The North American land drilling industry has experienced periods of downturn in demand over the last decade. During these periods, there have been substantially more drilling rigs available than necessary to meet demand. As a result, drilling contractors have had difficulty sustaining profit margins during the downturn periods.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that inflation will not have a significant near-term impact on our financial position.
ITEM 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
We currently have no exposure to interest rate market risk as we have no outstanding balance under our credit facility. Should we incur a balance in the future, we would have exposure associated with the floating rate of the interest charged on that balance. The revolving credit facility calls for periodic interest payments at a floating rate ranging from LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.0% or at the prime rate. The applicable rate above
32
Table of Contents
LIBOR is based upon our debt to capitalization ratio. Our exposure to interest rate risk due to changes in LIBOR is not expected to be material.
We conduct some business in Canadian dollars through our Canadian land-based drilling operations. The exchange rate between Canadian dollars and U.S. dollars has fluctuated during the last several years. If the value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar weakens, revenues and earnings of our Canadian operations will be reduced and the value of our Canadian net assets will decline when they are translated to U.S. dollars.
ITEM 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Background to the Fraud and Restatement — In November 2005, the Company discovered that its former Chief Financial Officer, Jonathan D. Nelson (“Nelson”), had fraudulently diverted approximately $78 million in Company funds for his own benefit. Nelson’s fraudulent diversions began in 1998 and continued until the fourth quarter of 2005 when he resigned from the Company. The funds fraudulently diverted were recorded as payments for assets or services that were not actually received by the Company. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors commenced an investigation into Nelson’s activities and retained independent counsel and independent forensic accountants to assist with the investigation.
On December 22, 2005, the Company announced that the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company had concluded that it was necessary to restate its previously reported consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and for the first three quarters of 2005 and all quarters in 2004 and 2003.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005, we have restated our previously issued financial statements.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures — We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and current Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and current CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A.
At the time of the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005, our CEO and former CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2005. Subsequent to that evaluation, our CEO and current CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable level of assurance, as of June 30, 2005, because of material weaknesses. For a discussion of the material weakness, see Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004. Based upon the substantial work performed during the restatement process, management has concluded that the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A are fairly stated in all material respects.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). With the participation of our CEO and CFO, our management evaluates any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during each fiscal quarter which have materially

Table of Contents
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control. At the time of the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005, our management, including our CEO and former CFO, concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005, that have materially affected or were reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Our CEO and current CFO have subsequently concluded that the material weaknesses described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 existed as of June 30, 2005.
You can find more information about the investigation, the material weaknesses and the actions that we have taken and are planning to take to remediate the material weaknesses in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, for the year ended December 31, 2004.
