1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Basic Energy Services, Inc.
and subsidiaries (Basic or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made in the
accompanying unaudited financial statements.
Nature of Operations
Basic provides a range of well site services to oil and gas drilling and producing companies,
including well servicing, fluid services, drilling and completion services and well site
construction services. These services are primarily provided by Basics fleet of equipment. Basics
operations are concentrated in the major United States onshore oil and gas producing regions in
Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana, and the Rocky Mountain states.
8
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Basic and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. Basic has no interest in any other organization, entity, partnership, or
contract that could require any evaluation under FASB Interpretation No. 46R or Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
Well Servicing Well servicing consists primarily of maintenance services, workover services,
completion services and plugging and abandonment services. Basic recognizes revenue when services
are performed, collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. Basic prices well servicing by the hour
of service performed.
Fluid Services Fluid services consists primarily of the sale, transportation, storage and
disposal of fluids used in drilling, production and maintenance of oil and natural gas wells. Basic
recognizes revenue when services are performed, collection of the relevant receivables is probable,
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. Basic prices
fluid services by the job, by the hour or by the quantities sold, disposed of or hauled.
Drilling and Completion Services Basic recognizes revenue when services are performed,
collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists
and the price is fixed or determinable. Basic prices drilling and completion services by the hour,
day, or project depending on the type of service performed. When Basic provides multiple services
to a customer, revenue is allocated to the services performed based on the fair values of the
services.
Well Site Construction Services Basic recognizes revenue when services are performed,
collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists
and the price is fixed or determinable. Basic prices well site construction services by the hour,
day, or project depending on the type of service performed.
Impairments
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), long-lived assets, such as property,
plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for
impairment at a minimum annually, or whenever, in managements judgment events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of
such assets to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets.
Expected future cash flows and carrying values are aggregated at their lowest identifiable level.
If the carrying amount of such assets exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge
is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the fair value of
the assets. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the consolidated balance
sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no
longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities, if material, of a disposed group classified as held
for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the
consolidated balance sheet.
Goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested annually for impairment,
and are tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset
might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds
the assets fair value.
Basic had no impairment expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 or 2005.
9
Deferred Debt Costs
Basic capitalizes certain costs in connection with obtaining its borrowings, such as lenders
fees and related attorneys fees. In prior periods, these costs were being amortized to interest
expense using the straight line method over the terms of the related debt, which approximates the
effective interest method over the terms of the related debt. In the third quarter of 2006, Basic
changed from the straight line method to the effective interest method.
Deferred debt costs of approximately $6.9 million at September 30, 2006 and $7.0 million at
December 31, 2005, respectively, represent debt issuance costs and are recorded net of accumulated
amortization of approximately $300,000, and $2.2 million at September 30, 2006 and December 31,
2005, respectively. Amortization of deferred debt costs totaled approximately $40,000 and $251,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, amortization of deferred debt costs totaled approximately $589,000 and
$778,000, respectively.
Goodwill
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS No. 142) eliminates the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with
indefinite lives. Intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal, or other means
will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Goodwill and other intangible assets not
subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. SFAS No. 142 requires a two-step
process for testing impairment. First, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its
carrying value to determine whether an indication of impairment exists. If impairment is indicated,
then the fair value of the reporting units goodwill is determined by allocating the units fair
value to its assets and liabilities (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the
reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The amount of impairment for goodwill
is measured as the excess of its carrying value over its fair value. Basic completed its assessment
of goodwill impairment as of the date of adoption and completed a subsequent annual impairment
assessment as of December 31 each year thereafter. The assessments did not result in any
indications of goodwill impairment.
Basic has identified its reporting units to be well servicing, fluid services, drilling and
completion services and well site construction services. The goodwill allocated to such reporting
units as of September 30, 2006 is $20.2 million, $38.1 million, $36.7 million and $3.7 million,
respectively. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 of $50.5 million relates to goodwill from acquisitions and payments pursuant to contingent
earn-out agreements, with approximately $10.3 million, $17.5 million and $22.7 million of goodwill
additions relating to the well servicing, fluid services and drilling and completion units,
respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, Basic adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised
2004) Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R). Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for
share-based payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock issued to Employees (APB No. 25) which was permitted
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123).
Basic adopted SFAS No. 123R using both the modified prospective method and the prospective
method as applicable to the specific awards granted. The modified prospective method was applied to
awards granted subsequent to the Company becoming a public company. Awards granted prior to the
Company becoming public and which were accounted for under APB No. 25 were adopted by using the
prospective method. The results of prior periods have not been restated. Compensation expense cost
of the unvested portion of awards granted as a private company and outstanding as of January 1,
2006 will continue to be based upon the intrinsic value method calculated under APB No. 25.
Under SFAS No. 123R, entities using the minimum value method and the prospective application
are not permitted to provide the pro forma disclosures (as was required under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123))
subsequent to adoption of SFAS No.
10
123R since they do not have the fair value information required by SFAS No. 123R. Therefore,
in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Basic will no longer include pro forma disclosures that were
required by SFAS No. 123.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Basic owns and operates salt water disposal sites, brine water wells, gravel pits and land
farm sites, each of which is subject to rules and regulations regarding usage and eventual closure.

Environmental
Basic is subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.
These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment
and may require Basic to remove or mitigate the adverse environmental effects of disposal or
release of petroleum, chemical and other substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures
are expensed or capitalized depending on the future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to
an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are
expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental
assessment and/or remediation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.
Litigation and Self-Insured Risk Reserves
Basic estimates its reserves related to litigation and self-insured risks based on the facts
and circumstances specific to the litigation and self-insured claims and its past experience with
similar claims in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5 Accounting for
Contingencies. Basic maintains accruals in the consolidated balance sheets to cover self-insurance
retentions (See note 6).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123R. As discussed
under Note 2, Stock-Based Compensation, Basic adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R on January
1, 2006.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48
(FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken, in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has
not determined the effects that adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Companys financial position,
cash flows and results of operations.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
108 (SAB 108), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatement in
Current Year Financial Statements. The bulletins interpretations address diversity in practice in
quantifying financial statement misstatements and the potential under current practice for the
build up of improper amounts on the balance sheet.
11
The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006. The Company
does not expect the adoption of SAB 108 to have a material impact on
the Companys financial position, cash flows, or results of
operations.
3. Acquisitions
In 2006 and 2005, Basic acquired either substantially all of the assets or all of the

Contingent Earn-out Arrangements and Final Purchase Price Allocations
Contingent earn-out arrangements are generally arrangements entered in certain acquisitions to
encourage the owner/manager to continue operating and building the business after the purchase
transaction. The contingent earn-out arrangements of the related acquisitions are generally linked
to certain financial measures and performance of the assets acquired in the various acquisitions.
All amounts paid or reasonably accrued for related to the contingent earn-out payments are
reflected as increases to the goodwill associated with the acquisition.
On February 28, 2006, Basic acquired substantially all of the assets of G&L Tool for $58.0
million plus a contingent earn-out payment not to exceed $21.0 million. The contingent earn-out
payment will be equal to fifty percent of the amount by which the annual EBITDA earned by Basic
exceeds an annual targeted EBITDA. There is no guarantee or assurance that the targeted EBITDA will
be reached. This acquisition provided a platform to expand into the fishing and rental tool market
operations. The cost of the G&L acquisition was allocated $43.8 million to property and equipment,
$14.1 million to goodwill, and $51,000 to non-compete agreements. Revisions to the fair values,
which may be significant, will be recorded by the Company as further adjustments to the purchase
price allocations.
The following unaudited pro-forma results of operations have been prepared as though the G&L
Tool acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2005. Pro forma amounts are based on the
preliminary purchase price allocations
12
of the significant acquisitions and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
reported in the future (in thousands, except per share data).

Senior Notes
On
April 12, 2006, the Company issued $225.0 million of 7.125% Senior Notes due April 2016 in a
private placement. Proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes were used to retire the outstanding
balance on the $90.0 million Term B Loan and to pay down approximately $96.0 million under the
revolving credit facility, which amounts may be reborrowed to fund future acquisitions or for
general corporate purposes. Interest payments on the Senior Notes are due semi-annually, on April
15 and October 15, commencing on October 15, 2006. The Senior Notes are unsecured. Under the terms of the sale of the Senior Notes, the Company was required to take
appropriate steps to offer to exchange other Senior Notes with the same terms that have been
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the private placement Senior Notes. The
Company completed the exchange offer for all of the Senior Notes on October 16, 2006.
The Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company on or after April 15, 2011 at the
specified redemption price as described in the Indenture. Prior to April 15, 2011, the Company may
redeem, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
Senior Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as defined in the Indenture. Prior to April 15,
2009, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the Senior Notes with the proceeds of certain equity
offerings at a redemption price equal to 107.125% of the principal amount of the 7.125% Senior
Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
This redemption must occur less than 90 days after the date of
the closing of any such equity offering.
Following a change of control, as defined in the Indenture, the Company will be required to
make an offer to repurchase all or any portion of the 7.125% Senior Notes at a purchase price of
101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to
the date of repurchase.
Pursuant
to the Indenture, the Company is subject to covenants that limit the
ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among
other things: incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or
repurchase or redeem capital stock, make certain investments, incur
liens, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, limit
dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries, and sell
assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies. These
limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and
exceptions set forth in the Indenture. The Company is in compliance with the
restrictive covenants at September 30, 2006.
14
As part of the issuance of the above-mentioned Senior Notes, the Company incurred debt
issuance costs of approximately $4.6 million, which are being amortized to interest expense using
the effective interest method over the term of the Senior Notes.
The
Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Company and
all of its restricted subsidiaries. Basic Energy Services, Inc., the ultimate parent company, does not have any independent operating
assets or operations. Subsidiaries other than the
restricted subsidiaries that are guarantors are minor.
2005 Credit Facility
On December 15, 2005, Basic entered into a $240 million Third Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement with a syndicate of lenders (2005 Credit Facility), which refinanced all of its then
existing credit facilities. The 2005 Credit Facility, as amended effective March 28, 2006, provides
for a $90 million Term B Loan (2005 Term B Loan) and a $150 million revolving line of credit
(Revolver). The commitment under the Revolver allows for (a) the borrowing of funds (b) issuance
of up to $30 million of letters of credit and (c) $2.5 million of swing-line loans (next day
borrowing). The amounts outstanding under the 2005 Term B Loan require quarterly amortization at
various amounts during each quarter with all amounts outstanding on December 15, 2011 being due and
payable in full. All the outstanding amounts under the Revolver are due and payable on December 15,
2010. The 2005 Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of Basics tangible and intangible
assets. Basic incurred approximately $1.8 million in debt issuance costs in obtaining the 2005
Credit Facility.
At Basics option, borrowings under the 2005 Term B Loan bear interest at either the (a)
Alternative Base Rate (i.e. the higher of the banks prime rate or the federal funds rate plus
.5% per annum) plus 1% or (b) the LIBOR rate plus 2.0%. At September 30, 2006, Basic had paid
outstanding borrowings under the Term B Loan in full; therefore, a Term B Loan weighted average
interest rate was not calculated. However, at December 31, 2005, Basics weighted average interest
rate on its Term B Loan was 6.4%.
At Basics option, borrowings under the 2005 Revolver bear interest at either the (a)
Alternative Base Rate (i.e. the higher of the banks prime rate or the federal funds rate plus
.5% per annum) plus a margin ranging from .50% to 1.25% or (b) the LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging
from 1.5% to 2.25%. The margins vary depending on Basics leverage ratio. At September 30, 2006,
Basics margin on Alternative Base Rates and LIBOR tranches was .75% and 1.75%, respectively. Fees
on the letters of credit are due quarterly on the outstanding amount of the letters of credit at a
rate ranging from 1.5% to 2.25% for participation fees and .125% for fronting fees. A commitment
fee is due quarterly on the available borrowings under the Revolver at rates ranging from .375% to
.5%.
At September 30, 2006, Basic, under its Revolver, had no outstanding borrowings and $10.6
million of letters of credit and no amounts outstanding in swing-line loans. At September 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005 Basic had availability under its Revolver of $139.4 million and $124.4
million, respectively.
Pursuant to the 2005 Credit Facility, Basic must apply proceeds to reduce principal
outstanding under the 2005 Revolver from (a) individual assets sales greater than $2 million or
$7.5 million in the aggregate on an annual basis, and (b) 50% of the proceeds from any equity
offering. The 2005 Credit Facility required Basic to enter into an interest rate hedge, through May
28, 2006 on at least $65 million of Basics then outstanding indebtedness. The March 28, 2006
amendment deletes this requirement upon payoff of the Term B Loans. In April 2006, Basic paid off
all outstanding borrowings under the Term B Loan. Paydowns on the 2005 Term B Loan may not be
reborrowed.
The 2005 Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants and compliance requirements,
which include (a) limiting of the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (b) restrictions on
mergers, sales or transfers of assets without the lenders consent, (c) limitation on dividends and
distributions and (d) various financial covenants, including (1) a maximum leverage ratio of 3.5 to
1.0 reducing over time to 3.25 to 1.0, (2) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 and (e)
limitations on capital expenditures in any period of four consecutive quarters in excess of 20% of
Consolidated Net Worth unless certain criteria are met. At September 30, 2006 and December 31,
2005, Basic was in compliance with its covenants.

Losses on Extinguishment of Debt
In April of 2006, Basic recognized a loss on the early extinguishment of debt. Basic wrote off
unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $2.7 million, which related to the prepayment of
the Term B Loan.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
Basic is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that
establish standards and requirements for protection of the environment. Basic cannot predict the
future impact of such standards and requirements which are subject to change and can have
retroactive effectiveness. Basic continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations.
Management believes that the likelihood of the disposition of any of these items resulting in a
material adverse impact to Basics financial position, liquidity, capital resources or future
results of operations is remote.
Currently, Basic has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations that
would have a material adverse effect upon its financial position, liquidity or capital resources.
However, management does recognize that by the very nature of its business, material costs could be
incurred in the near term to bring Basic into total compliance. The amount of such future
expenditures is not determinable due to several factors including the unknown magnitude of possible
contamination, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the
determination of Basics liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to
which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.
Litigation
From time to time, Basic is a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that Basic
considers to be a part of the ordinary course of business. Basic is not currently involved in any
legal proceedings that it considers probable or reasonably possible, individually or in the
aggregate, to result in a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations
or liquidity.
Self-Insured Risk Accruals
Basic is self-insured up to retention limits as it relates to workers compensation and
medical and dental coverage of its employees. Basic, generally, maintains no physical property
damage coverage on its workover rig fleet, with the exception of certain of its 24-hour workover
rigs and newly manufactured rigs. Basic has deductibles per occurrence for workers compensation
and medical and dental coverage of $150,000 and $125,000, respectively. Basic has lower deductibles
per occurrence for automobile liability and general liability. Basic maintains accruals in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets related to self-insurance retentions by using
third-party data and claims history.
16
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, self-insured risk accruals totaled approximately
$11.1 million, net of $240,000 receivable for medical and dental
coverage, and $9.5 million, net of $127,000 receivable for
medical and dental coverage, respectively.
Regulatory
On
November 2, 2006, the Company filed for Hart-Scott-Rodino Act (HSR) clearance for its
acquisition of substantially all the assets of G&L Tool, Ltd. with the Federal Trade Commission
and the Department of Justice. The HSR filing was delinquent, as the filing was required to be made prior to the
acquisition, and as such, may subject the Company to civil penalties. The Company is unable to
estimate the amount, if any, that will ultimately be assessed.
7. Stockholders Equity
Common Stock
In February 2002, a group of related investors purchased a total of 3,000,000 shares of
Basics common stock at a purchase price of $4 per share, for a total purchase price of $12
million. As part of the purchase, 600,000 common stock warrants were issued in connection with this
transaction, the fair value of which was approximately $1.2 million (calculated using an option
valuation model). The warrants allow the holder to purchase 600,000 shares of Basics common stock
at $4 per share. The warrants are exercisable in whole or in part after June 30, 2002 and prior to
February 13, 2007 (See Note 13).
In June of 2002 Basic granted 3,750,000 common stock warrants to acquire a total of 3,750,000
shares of common stock at a price of $4 per share, exercisable in whole or in part from June 30,
2002 through June 30, 2007 (See Note 13).
In February 2004, Basic granted certain officers and directors 837,500 restricted shares of
common stock. The shares vest 25% per year for four years from the award date and are subject to
other vesting and forfeiture provisions. The estimated fair value of the restricted shares was $5.8
million at the date of the grant and was recorded as deferred compensation, a component of
stockholders equity. This amount is being charged to expense over the respective vesting period
and totaled approximately $272,000 and $393,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the amount charged to
expense over the respective vesting period totaled approximately $966,000 and $1,211,000,
respectively.
In December 2005, Basic issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock during the Companys Initial
Public Offering to a group of investors for $100 million or $20 per share. After deducting fees,
this resulted in net proceeds to Basic totaling approximately $91.5 million.
During the first nine months of 2006, Basic issued 243,420 shares of common stock from
treasury stock for the exercise of stock options.
Preferred Stock
At
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, Basic had 5,000,000 shares of $.01 par value
preferred stock authorized, of which none is designated.
8. Incentive Plan
In May 2003, Basics board of directors and stockholders approved the Basic 2003 Incentive
Plan (as amended effective April 22, 2005), (the Plan) which provides for granting of incentive
awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock, performance awards, bonus shares, phantom
shares, cash awards and other stock-based awards to
officers, employees, directors and consultants of Basic. The Plan assumed awards of the plans
of Basics successors that were awarded and remained outstanding prior to adoption of the Plan. The
Plan provides for the issuance of
17
5,000,000 shares. The Plan is administered by the Plan committee,
and in the absence of a Plan committee, by the Board of Directors, which determines the awards, and
the associated terms of the awards and interprets its provisions and adopts policies for
implementing the Plan. The number of shares authorized under the Plan and the number of shares
subject to an award under the Plan will be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations, mergers and other changes affecting the capital stock of Basic.
On March 15, 2006, the board of directors granted various employees options to purchase
418,000 shares of common stock of Basic at an exercise price of $26.84 per share. All of the
418,000 options granted in 2006 vest over a five-year period and expire 10 years from the date they
were granted. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price
of the Companys stock at the date of grant.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model that uses the subjective assumptions noted in the
following table. Since the Company has only been public since December 2005, expected volatilities
are based upon a peer group. When the Company has sufficient historical data to calculate expected
volatility, the Company will use its own historical data to calculate expected volatility. The
expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to
be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based
on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The estimates involve inherent
uncertainties and the application of management judgment. In addition, we are required to estimate
the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those options expected to vest.
Compensation expense related to share-based arrangements was approximately $842,000 and $772,000
during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For compensation expense
recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, Basic recognized a tax
benefit of approximately $316,000 and $290,000, respectively. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, compensation expense related to share-based arrangements was
approximately $2,475,000 and $2,131,000, respectively. For compensation expense recognized during
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, Basic recognized a tax benefit of approximately
$912,000 and $802,000, respectively.
The fair value of each option award accounted for under SFAS No. 123R is estimated on the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the
following table:

11. Business Segment Information
Basics reportable business segments are well servicing, fluid services, drilling and
completion services and well site construction services. The following is a description of the
segments:
Well Servicing: This business segment encompasses a full range of services performed with a
mobile well servicing rig, including the installation and removal of downhole equipment and
elimination of obstructions in the
20
well bore to facilitate the flow of oil and gas. These services
are performed to establish, maintain and improve production throughout the productive life of an
oil and gas well and to plug and abandon a well at the end of its productive life. Basic well
servicing equipment and capabilities are essential to facilitate most other services performed on a
well.
Fluid Services: This segment utilizes a fleet of trucks and related assets, including
specialized tank trucks, storage tanks, water wells, disposal facilities and related equipment.
Basic employs these assets to provide, transport, store and dispose of a variety of fluids. These
services are required in most workover, drilling and completion projects as well as part of daily
producing well operations.
Drilling and Completion Services: This segment focuses on a variety of services designed to
stimulate oil and gas production or to enable cement slurry to be placed in or circulated within a
well. These services are carried out in niche markets for jobs requiring a single truck and lower
horsepower.
Well Site Construction Services: This segment utilizes a fleet of power units, dozers,
trenchers, motor graders, backhoes and other heavy equipment. Basic employs these assets to provide
services for the construction and maintenance of oil and gas production infrastructure, such as
preparing and maintaining access roads and well locations, installation of small diameter gathering
lines and pipelines and construction of temporary foundations to support drilling rigs.
Basics management evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on operating
revenues and segment profits. Corporate expenses include general corporate expenses associated with
managing all reportable operating segments. Corporate assets consist principally of working capital
and debt financing costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Managements Overview
We provide a wide range of well site services to oil and gas drilling and producing companies,
including well servicing, fluid services, drilling and completion services and well site
construction services. Our results of operations since the beginning of 2002 reflect the impact of
our acquisition strategy as a leading consolidator in the domestic land-based well services
industry during this period. Our acquisitions have increased our breadth of service offerings at
the well site and expanded our market presence. In implementing this strategy, we have purchased
businesses and assets in 18 separate acquisitions from January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006. Our
weighted average number of well servicing rigs has increased from 311 in the third quarter of 2005
to 353 in the third quarter of 2006, and our weighted average number of fluid service trucks has
increased from 465 to 614 in the same period.
Our operating revenues from each of our segments, and their relative percentages of our total
revenues, consisted of the following (dollars in millions):

Our core businesses depend on our customers willingness to make expenditures to produce,
develop and explore for oil and gas in the United States. Industry conditions are influenced by
numerous factors, such as the supply of and demand for oil and gas, domestic and worldwide economic
conditions, political instability in oil producing countries and merger and divestiture activity
among oil and gas producers. The volatility of the oil and gas industry, and the consequent impact
on exploration and production activity, could adversely impact the level of drilling and workover
activity by some of our customers. This volatility affects the demand for our services and the
price of our services. In addition, the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves in our market
areas also may have an impact on our business, even in an environment of stronger oil and gas
prices.
We derive a majority of our revenues from services supporting production from existing oil and
gas operations. Demand for these production-related services, including well servicing and fluid
services, tends to remain relatively stable, even in moderate oil and gas price environments, as
ongoing maintenance spending is required to sustain production. As oil and gas prices reach higher
levels, demand for all of our services generally increases as our customers engage in more well
servicing activities relating to existing wells to maintain or increase oil and gas production from
those wells. Because our services are required to support drilling and workover activities, we are
also subject to changes in capital spending by our customers as oil and gas prices increase or
decrease.
We believe that the most important performance measures for our lines of business are as
follows:
|
|
|
Well Servicing rig hours, rig utilization rate, revenue per rig hour and segment
profits as a percent of revenues; |
|
|
|
|
Fluid Services revenue per truck and segment profits as a percent of revenues; |
|
|
|
|
Drilling and Completion Services segment profits as a percent of revenues; and |
|
|
|
|
Well Site Construction Services segment profits as a percent of revenues. |
24
Segment profits are computed as segment operating revenues less direct operating costs. These
measurements provide important information to us about the activity and profitability of our lines
of business. For a detailed analysis of these indicators for our company, see below in Segment
Overview.
We intend to continue growing our business through selective acquisitions, continuing a
newbuild program and/or upgrading our existing assets. Our capital investment decisions are
determined by an analysis of the projected return on capital employed of each of those
alternatives, which is substantially driven by the cost to acquire existing assets from a third
party, the capital required to build new equipment and the point in the oil and gas commodity price
cycle. Based on these factors, we make capital investment decisions that we believe will support
our long-term growth strategy. While we believe our costs of integration for prior acquisitions
have been reflected in our historical results of operations, integration of acquisitions may result
in unforeseen operational difficulties or require a disproportionate amount of our managements
attention. As discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources, we also must meet certain
financial covenants in order to borrow money under our existing credit agreement to fund future
acquisitions.
Recent Strategic Acquisitions and Expansions
During 2005, we continued to direct our focus for growth more on the integration and expansion
of our existing businesses, through capital expenditures and to a lesser extent, acquisitions.
During the first nine months of 2006, we completed ten additional acquisitions, one of which was
significant.
We discuss the aggregate purchase prices and related financing issues below in Liquidity
and Capital Resources and present the proforma effects of the material acquisition in the
financial statements included with this report.
Selected 2005 Acquisitions
During 2005, we made several acquisitions that complement our existing lines of business.
These included, among others:
MD Well Service, Inc.
On May 17, 2005, we completed the acquisition of MD Well Service, Inc., a well servicing
company operating in the Rocky Mountain region. This transaction was structured as an asset
purchase for a total purchase price of $6.0 million.
Oilwell Fracturing Services, Inc.
On October 10, 2005, we completed the acquisition of Oilwell Fracturing Services, Inc., a
pressure pumping services company that provides acidizing and fracturing services with operations
in central Oklahoma. This acquisition will strengthen the presence of our drilling and completion
services segment in our Mid Continent division. This transaction was structured as a stock purchase
for a total purchase price of approximately $16.1 million. The assets acquired in the acquisition
included approximately $2.3 million in cash. The cash used to acquire Oilwell Fracturing Services
was primarily from borrowings under our senior credit facility.
Selected 2006 Acquisitions
During 2006, we made acquisitions that complement our existing lines of business and increased
our presence in the rental tool business. These included, among others:
LeBus Oil Field Service Co.
On January 31, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of LeBus Oil Field
Service Co. for an acquisition price of $26 million, subject to adjustments. The
acquisition will operate in our fluid services line of business in the Ark-La-Tex division. The
cash used to acquire LeBus was primarily from borrowings under our senior credit facility.
25
G&L Tool, Ltd.
On February 28, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the operating assets of G&L Tool, Ltd.
for total consideration of $58 million cash. This acquisition will operate in our drilling
and completion line of business. The purchase agreement also contained an earn-out agreement based
on annual EBITDA targets. The cash used to acquire G&L was primarily from borrowings under our
senior credit facility.
Segment Overview
Well Servicing
During the first nine months of 2006, our well servicing segment represented 46% of our total
revenues. Revenue in our well servicing segment is derived from maintenance, workover, completion
and plugging and abandonment services. We provide maintenance-related services as part of the
normal, periodic upkeep of producing oil and gas wells. Maintenance-related services represent a
relatively consistent component of our business. Workover and completion services generate more
revenue per hour than maintenance work due to the use of auxiliary equipment, but demand for
workover and completion services fluctuates more with the overall activity level in the industry.
We typically charge our customers for services on an hourly basis at rates that are determined
by the type of service and equipment required, market conditions in the region in which the rig
operates, the ancillary equipment provided on the rig and the necessary personnel. Depending on the
type of job, we may also charge by the project or by the day. We measure our activity levels by the
total number of hours worked by all of the rigs in our fleet. We monitor our fleet utilization
levels, with full utilization deemed to be 55 hours per week per rig.
The following is an analysis of our well servicing operations for each of the quarters ended
December 31, 2005 and the quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006:

We gauge activity levels in our well servicing segment based on rig utilization rate, revenue
per rig hour and segment profits per rig hour.
Improving market conditions since the first quarter of 2005 have created increased demand for
our services. Rig hours have increased due to a combination of the improved utilization of our well
servicing rigs and the expansion of our well servicing fleet as a result of our newbuild rig
program.
We have been able to increase our revenue per rig hour from $299 in the third quarter of 2005
to $383 in the third quarter of 2006 mainly as a result of this higher utilization, which has
contributed to our improved segment profits.
26
Fluid Services
During the first nine months of 2006, our fluid services segment represented 27% of our
revenues. Revenues in our fluid services segment are earned from the sale, transportation, storage
and disposal of fluids used in the drilling, production and maintenance of oil and gas wells. The
fluid services segment has a base level of business consisting of transporting and disposing of
salt water produced as a by-product of the production of oil and gas. These services are necessary
for our customers and generally have a stable demand but typically produce lower relative segment
profits than other parts of our fluid services segment. Fluid services for completion and
workover projects typically require fresh or brine water for making drilling mud, circulating
fluids or frac fluids used during a job, and all of these fluids require storage tanks and hauling
and disposal. Because we can provide a full complement of fluid sales, trucking, storage and
disposal required on most drilling and workover projects, the add-on services associated with
drilling and workover activity enable us to generate higher segment profits contributions. The
higher segment profits are due to the relatively small incremental labor costs associated with
providing these services in addition to our base fluid services segment. We typically price fluid
services by the job, by the hour or by the quantities sold, disposed of or hauled.
The following is an analysis of our fluid services operations for each of the quarters ended
December 31, 2005 and the quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006

We gauge activity levels in our fluid services segment based on revenue and segment profits
per fluid service truck.
The
majority of the increase in revenue per fluid services truck from
approximately $74,000 in the third
quarter of 2005 to approximately $83,000 in the third quarter of 2006 is due to the revenues derived from the
expansion of our frac tank fleet and disposal facilities as well as increases in prices charged for
our services. Our segment profits per fluid services truck have increased because of these factors
and increased utilization of our equipment.
Drilling and Completion Services
During the first nine months of 2006, our drilling and completion services segment represented
21% of our revenues. Revenues from our drilling and completion services segment are generally
derived from a variety of services designed to stimulate oil and gas production or place cement
slurry within the wellbores. Our drilling and completion services segment includes pressure
pumping, cased-hole wireline services, underbalanced drilling and fishing and rental tool
operations.
Our pressure pumping operations concentrate on providing single-truck, lower horsepower
cementing, acidizing and fracturing services in selected markets. We entered the fishing and rental
tool business through our acquisition of G&L in the first quarter of 2006.
In this segment, we generally derive our revenues on a project-by-project basis in a
competitive bidding process. Our bids are generally based on the amount and type of equipment and
personnel required, with the materials consumed billed separately. During periods of decreased
spending by oil and gas companies, we may be required to discount our rates to remain competitive,
which would cause lower segment profits.

We gauge the performance of our drilling and completion services segment based on the
segments operating revenues and segment profits. Improved market conditions since the first
quarter of 2005 have enabled us to increase our pricing for these services, contributing to the
improved segment profits as a percentage of segment revenues.
Well Site Construction Services
During the first nine months of 2006, our well site construction services segment represented
6% of our revenues. Revenues from our well site construction services segment are derived primarily
from preparing and maintaining access roads and well locations, installing small diameter gathering
lines and pipelines, constructing foundations to support drilling rigs and providing maintenance
services for oil and gas facilities. These services are independent of our other services and,
while offered to some customers utilizing other services, are not offered on a bundled basis.
Within this segment, we generally charge established hourly rates or competitive bid for
projects depending on customer specifications and equipment and personnel requirements. This
segment allows us to perform services to customers outside the oil and gas industry, since
substantially all of our power units are general purpose construction equipment. However, the
majority of our current business in this segment is with customers in the oil and gas industry. If
our customer base has the demand for certain types of power units that we do not currently own, we
generally purchase or lease them without significant delay.
The following is an analysis of our well site construction services for each of the quarters
ended December 31, 2005 and the quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006, and September 30,

Operating Cost Overview
Our operating costs are comprised primarily of labor, including workers compensation and
health insurance, repair and maintenance, fuel and insurance. A majority of our employees are paid
on an hourly basis. With a reduced pool of workers in the industry, it is possible that we will
have to raise wage rates to attract workers from other fields and retain or expand our current work
force. We believe we will be able to increase service rates to our customers to compensate for wage
rate increases. We also incur costs to employ personnel to sell and supervise our services and
perform maintenance on our fleet. These costs are not directly tied to our level of business
activity. Compensation for our administrative personnel in local operating yards and in our
corporate office is accounted for as general and administrative expenses. Repair and maintenance is
performed by our crews, company maintenance personnel and outside service providers. Insurance is
generally a fixed cost regardless of utilization and relates to the number of rigs, trucks and
other equipment in our fleet, employee payroll and safety record.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the
estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these
policies is included in note 2 of the notes to our historical unaudited consolidated financial
statements included in this report. The following is a discussion of our critical accounting
policies and estimates.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified below accounting policies that are of particular importance in the
presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the
application of significant judgment by management.
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost, or at estimated fair value
at acquisition date if acquired in a business combination. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are charged to expense as incurred.
Impairments. We review our assets for impairment at a minimum annually, or whenever, in
managements judgment, events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a
long-lived asset may not be recovered over its remaining service life. Provisions for asset
impairment are charged to income when the sum of the estimated future cash flows, on an
undiscounted basis, is less than the assets carrying amount. When impairment is indicated, an
impairment charge is recorded based on an estimate of future cash flows on a discounted basis.
Self-Insured Risk Accruals. We are self-insured up to retention limits with regard to workers
compensation and medical and dental coverage of our employees. We generally maintain no physical
property damage coverage on our workover rig fleet, with the exception of certain of our 24-hour
workover rigs and newly manufactured rigs. We have deductibles per occurrence for workers
compensation and medical and dental coverage of $150,000 and $125,000 respectively. We have lower
deductibles per occurrence for automobile liability and general liability. We maintain accruals in
our consolidated balance sheets related to self-insurance retentions by using third-party data and
historical claims history.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenues when the services are performed, collection of the
relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of the arrangement exists and the price is
fixed and determinable.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes based upon Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rate is recognized in the period that includes the statutory enactment date. A valuation allowance
for deferred tax assets is recognized when it is more likely than not that the benefit of deferred
tax assets will not be realized.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet
date and the amounts of revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period. We analyze
our estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from such estimates. The
following is a discussion of our critical accounting estimates.
Depreciation and Amortization. In order to depreciate and amortize our property and equipment
and our intangible assets with finite lives, we estimate the useful lives and salvage values of
these items. Our estimates may be affected by such factors as changing market conditions,
technological advances in industry or changes in regulations governing the industry.
Impairment of Property and Equipment. Our impairment of property and equipment requires us to
estimate undiscounted future cash flows. Actual impairment charges are recorded using an estimate
of discounted future cash flows. The determination of future cash flows requires us to estimate
rates and utilization in future periods and such estimates can change based on market conditions,
technological advances in industry or changes in regulations governing the industry.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts based on an
analysis of historical collection activity and specific identification of overdue accounts. Factors
that may affect this estimate include (1) changes in the financial positions of significant
customers and (2) a decline in commodity prices that could affect the entire customer base.
Litigation and Self-Insured Risk Reserves. We estimate our reserves related to litigation and
self-insure risk based on the facts and circumstances specific to the litigation and self-insured
risk claims and our past experience with similar claims. The actual outcome of litigated and
insured claims could differ significantly from estimated amounts. As discussed in - Self-Insured
Risk Accruals above with respect to our critical accounting policies, we maintain accruals on our
balance sheet to cover self-insured retentions. These accruals are based on certain assumptions
developed using third-party data and historical data to project future losses. Loss estimates in
the calculation of these accruals are adjusted based upon actual claim settlements and reported
claims.
Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed. We estimate the fair value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, which involves the use of various
assumptions. These estimates may be affected by such factors as changing market conditions,
technological advances in industry or changes in regulations governing the industry. The most
significant assumptions, and the ones requiring the most judgment, involve the estimated fair value
of property and equipment, intangible assets and the resulting amount of goodwill, if any. Our
adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 requires us to test annually for impairment the
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives recorded in business combinations. This
requires us to estimate the fair values of our own assets and liabilities at the reporting unit
level. Therefore, considerable judgment, similar to that described above in connection with our
estimation of the fair value of acquired company, is required to assess goodwill and certain
intangible assets for impairment.
Cash Flow Estimates. Our estimates of future cash flows are based on the most recent available
market and operating data for the applicable asset or reporting unit at the time the estimate is
made. Our cash flow estimates are used for asset impairment analyses.
Stock-Based Compensation.
On January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R). Prior to January 1, 2006,
we accounted for share-based payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock issued to Employees (APB No.
25) which was permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123).
30
We adopted SFAS No. 123R using both the modified prospective method and the prospective method
as applicable to the specific awards granted. The modified prospective method was applied to awards
granted subsequent to the Company becoming a public company. Awards granted prior to the Company
becoming public and which were accounted for under APB No. 25 were adopted by using the prospective
method. The results of prior periods have not been restated. Compensation expense cost of the
unvested portion of awards granted as a private company and outstanding as of January 1, 2006 will
continue to be based upon the intrinsic value method calculated under APB No. 25.
The fair value of common stock for options granted from July 1, 2004 through September 30,
2005 was estimated by management using an internal valuation methodology. We did not obtain
contemporaneous valuations by an unrelated valuation specialist because we were focused on internal
growth and acquisitions and because we had consistently used our internal valuation methodology for
previous stock awards.
We used a market approach to estimate our enterprise value at the dates on which options were
granted. Our market approach uses estimates of EBITDA and cash flows multiplied by relevant market
multiples. We used market multiples of publicly traded energy service companies that were supplied
by investment bankers in order to estimate our enterprise value. The assumptions underlying the
estimates are consistent with our business plan. The risks associated with achieving our forecasts
were assessed in the multiples we utilized. Had different multiples been utilized, the valuations
would have been different.
Income Taxes. The amount and availability of our loss carryforwards (and certain other tax
attributes) are subject to a variety of interpretations and restrictive tests. The utilization of
such carryforwards could be limited or lost upon certain changes in ownership and the passage of
time. Accordingly, although we believe loss carryforwards are available to us, no assurance can be
given concerning the realization of such loss carryforwards, or whether or not such loss
carryforwards will be available in the future.
Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires us to record the fair value of an asset
retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated
with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and to capitalize an equal amount as a cost of
the asset, depreciating it over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the
asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each quarter to reflect the
passage of time, changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation, acquisition
or construction of assets, and settlement of obligations.
Results of Operations
The results of operations between periods will not be comparable, primarily due to the
significant number of acquisitions made and their relative timing in the year acquired. See note 3
of the notes to our historical consolidated financial statements for more detail.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2005
Revenues. Revenues increased 61% to $194.6 million during the third quarter of 2006 from
$120.8 million during the same period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to the internal
expansion of our business segments, particularly well servicing and fluid services, and in part due
to acquisitions. The pricing and utilization of our services, and thus related revenues, improved
due to the increase in well maintenance and drilling activity caused by higher oil and gas prices.
Well servicing revenues increased 49% to $88.2 million during third quarter of 2006 compared
to $59.2 million during the same period in 2005. This increase was due primarily to the internal
growth of this segment as well as an increase in our revenue per rig hour of approximately 28%,
from $299 per hour to $383 per hour. Our weighted average number of rigs increased to 353 during
the third quarter in 2006 compared to 311 in the same period in 2005, an increase of approximately
14%. In addition, the utilization rate of our rig fleet increased to 91.2% during the third quarter
of 2006 compared to 89.0% in the same period in 2005.
31
Fluid services revenues increased 48% to $50.7 million during the third quarter of 2006
compared to $34.3 million in the same period in 2005. The increase in revenue was due primarily to
our internal growth of this segment. Our weighted average number of fluid service trucks increased
to 614 during the third quarter in 2006 compared to 465 in the same period in 2005, an increase of
approximately 32%. The increase in weighted average number of fluid service trucks is primarily due
to internal expansion as well as the trucks added from the LeBus acquisition. During the third
quarter of 2006, our average revenue per fluid service truck was approximately $83,000 as compared
to approximately $74,000 in the same period in 2005. The increase in average revenue per fluid
service truck reflects the expansion of our frac tank fleet and saltwater disposal operations, and
increases in prices charged for our services.
Drilling and completion services revenue increased 165% to $42.1 million during the third
quarter of 2006 as compared to $15.9 million in the same period in 2005. The increase in revenue
between these periods was primarily the result of internal expansion, the acquisition of Oilwell
Fracturing Services in October 2005, the acquisition of G&L during February 2006 and improved
pricing and utilization of our services.
Well-site construction services revenue increased 19% to $13.5 million during the third
quarter of 2006 as compared to $11.4 million during the same period in 2005.
Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses, which primarily consist of labor,
including workers compensation and health insurance, and maintenance and repair costs, increased
46% to $109.6 million during the third quarter of 2006 from $75.0 million in the same period in
2005 primarily as a result of additional rigs and trucks, as well as higher utilization of our
equipment. Operating expenses decreased to 56% of revenue for the third quarter of 2006 from 62% in
the same period in 2005, as fixed operating costs such as field supervision, insurance and vehicle
expenses were spread over a higher revenue base. We also benefited from higher utilization and
increased pricing of our services.
Direct operating expenses for the well servicing segment increased 28% to $48.4 million in the
third quarter of 2006 compared to $37.9 million in the same period in 2005 primarily due to the
internal growth of this segment. Segment profits for this segment increased to 45% of revenues
during the third quarter of 2006 compared to 36% in the same period in 2005 primarily due to the
improved pricing and higher utilization of our equipment.
Direct operating expenses for the fluid services segment increased 48% to $31.2 million in the
third quarter of 2006 compared to $21.1 million in the same period in 2005 primarily due to
increased activity and expansion of our fluid services fleet. Segment profits for this segment
remained constant at 39% of revenues during the third quarter of 2006 and at 39% in the same period
in 2005.
Direct operating expenses for the drilling and completion services segment increased 150% to
$20.5 million during the third quarter of 2006 compared to $8.2 million in the same period in 2005
primarily due to the increased activity and expansion of our services and equipment, including the
G&L acquisition. Segment profits for this segment increased to 51% of revenues during the third
quarter of 2006 compared to 48% in the same period in 2005.
Direct operating expenses for the well-site construction services segment increased 21% to
$9.4 million during the third quarter of 2006 compared to $7.8 million in the same period in 2005.
Segment profits for this segment decreased to 30% of revenues during the third quarter of 2006
compared to 32% in the same period in 2005.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 50% to
$20.9 million during the third quarter of 2006 from $13.9 million in the same period in 2005. The
increase primarily reflects higher salary and office expenses related to the expansion of our
business, which includes general and administrative costs of acquired companies, as well as
additional staffing to enhance internal controls as a public company.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $16.7
million during the third quarter of 2006 and $9.4 million in the same period in 2005, reflecting
the increase in the size and investment in our asset base. We invested $33.9 million for
acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and an additional $33.9 million for capital expenditures, including capital leases,
during the third quarter of 2006.
32
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $4.7 million during the third quarter of 2006 compared
to $3.2 million in the same period in 2005.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Income tax expense was $16.4 million during the third quarter of
2006 compared to $7.4 million in the same period in 2005, reflecting the improvement in our
profitability. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was
approximately 38%, respectively.
Net Income. Our net income increased to $27.3 million during the third quarter of 2006 from
$12.3 million in the same period in 2005. This improvement was due primarily to the factors
described above, including our increased asset base and related revenues, higher utilization rates
and increased revenues per rig and fluid service truck, and higher operating margins on our
drilling and completion services equipment.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
Revenues. Revenues increased 64% to $532.7 million in the first nine months in 2006 from
$324.4 million during the same period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to the internal
expansion of our business segments, particularly well servicing and fluid services, and in part due
to acquisitions. The pricing and utilization of our services, and thus related revenues, improved
due to the increase in well maintenance and drilling activity caused by higher oil and gas prices.
Well servicing revenues increased 54% to $242.8 million during the first nine months in 2006
compared to $157.9 million during the same period in 2005. This increase was due primarily to the
internal growth of this segment as well as an increase in our revenue per rig hour of approximately
32%, from $279 per hour to $367 per hour. Our weighted average number of rigs increased to 340
during the first nine months in 2006 compared to 302 in the same period in 2005, an increase of
approximately 13%. In addition, the utilization rate of our rig fleet increased to 90.6% during the
first nine months of 2006 compared to 87.3% in the same period in 2005.
Fluid services revenues increased 50% to $142.7 million during the first nine months in 2006
as compared to $95.1 million in the same period in 2005. The increase in revenue was due primarily
to our internal growth of this segment. Our weighted average number of fluid service trucks
increased to 570 during the first nine months in 2006 compared to 449 in the same period in 2005,
an increase of approximately 27%. The increase in weighted average number of fluid service trucks
is primarily due to internal expansion as well as the trucks added from the LeBus acquisition.
During the first nine months in 2006, our average revenue per fluid service truck was approximately
$250,000 as compared to approximately $212,000 in the same period in 2005. The increase in average
revenue per fluid service truck reflects the expansion of our frac tank fleet and saltwater
disposal operations, and increases in prices charged for our services.
Drilling and completion services revenue increased 175% to $110.5 million during the first
nine months in 2006 as compared to $40.2 million in the same period in 2005. The increase in
revenue between these periods was primarily the result of internal expansion, the acquisition of
Oilwell Fracturing Services in October 2005, the acquisition of G&L during February 2006 and
improved pricing and utilization of our services.
Well-site construction services revenue increased 17% to $36.6 million during the first nine
months in 2006 as compared to $31.2 million during the same period in 2005.
Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses, which primarily consist of labor,
including workers compensation and health insurance, and maintenance and repair costs, increased
49% to $301.8 million during the first nine months of 2006 from $203.0 million in the same period
in 2005 primarily as a result of additional rigs and trucks, as well as higher utilization of our
equipment. Operating expenses decreased to 57% of revenue for the first nine months of 2006 from
63% in the same period in 2005, as fixed operating costs such as field supervision, insurance and
vehicle expenses were spread over a higher revenue base. We also benefited from higher utilization
and increased pricing of our services.
Direct operating expenses for the well servicing segment increased 36% to $135.5 million in
the first nine months of 2005 compared to $99.4 million in the same period in 2005 primarily due to
the internal growth of this segment. Segment profits for this segment increased to 44% of revenues
during the first nine months of 2006
33
compared to 37% in the same period in 2005 primarily due to the improved pricing and higher
utilization of our equipment.
Direct operating expenses for the fluid services segment increased 44% to $86.9 million in the
first nine months of 2006 compared to $60.2 million in the same period in 2005 primarily due to
increased activity and expansion of our fluid services fleet. Segment profits for this segment
increased to 39% of revenues during the first nine months of 2006 compared to 37% in the same
period in 2005 primarily due to the expansion of our frac tank fleet and saltwater disposal
operations, and increases in prices charged for our services.
Direct operating expenses for the drilling and completion services segment increased 156% to
$53.6 million during the first nine months of 2006 compared to $21.0 million in the same period in
2005 primarily due to the increased activity and expansion of our services and equipment, including
the G&L acquisition. Segment profits for this segment increased to 52% of revenues during the first
nine months of 2006 compared to 48% in the same period in 2005.
Direct operating expenses for the well-site construction services segment increased 15% to
$25.9 million during the first nine months of 2006 compared to $22.4 million in the same period in
2005. Segment profits for this segment increased to 29% of revenues during the first nine months of
2006 compared to 28% in the same period in 2005.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 46% to
$59.1 million during the first nine months of 2006 from $40.4 million in the same period in 2005.
The increase primarily reflects higher salary and office expenses related to the expansion of our
business, which includes general and administrative costs of acquired companies, as well as
additional staffing to enhance internal controls as a public company.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $44.7
million for the first nine months of 2006 and $26.2 million in the same period in 2005, reflecting
the increase in the size and investment in our asset base. We invested $132.9 million for
acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and an additional $94.8 million for capital expenditures, including capital leases, in
the first nine months in 2006.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $12.5 million during the first nine months of 2006
compared to $9.4 million in the same period in 2005.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on early extinguishment of debt was $2.7 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $0 in same period in 2005. The loss
related to the payment in full of the Term B Loan.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Income tax expense was $41.8 million during the first nine
months of 2006 compared to $17.4 million in the same period in 2005, reflecting the improvement in
our profitability. Our effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2006 and 2005 was
approximately 37% and 38%.
Net Income. Our net income increased to $71.5 million during the first nine months of 2006
from $28.9 million in the same period in 2005. This improvement was due primarily to the factors
described above, including our increased asset base and related revenues, higher utilization rates
and increased revenues per rig and fluid service truck, and higher operating margins on our
drilling and completion services equipment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary capital resources are currently net cash flows from our operations, utilization of
capital leases as allowed under our credit facility and availability under our credit facility, of
which approximately $139.4 million was available at September 30, 2006. Also, we issued $225.0
million of senior notes in April of 2006. As of September 30, 2006, we had cash and cash
equivalents of $29.2 million compared to $4.6 million as of September 30, 2005. We have utilized,
and expect to utilize in the future, bank and capital lease financing and sales of equity to obtain
capital resources. When appropriate, we will consider public or private debt and equity offerings
and non-recourse transactions to meet our liquidity needs.
34
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash flow from operating activities was $108.3 million during the first nine months of 2006 as
compared to $62.5 million during the same period in 2005. The increase in operating cash flows in
the first nine months of 2006 over the same period in 2005 was primarily due to expansion of our
fleet and improvements in the segment profits, utilization of our equipment.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures are the main component of our investing activities. Cash capital
expenditures (including for acquisitions) for the first nine months
of 2006 were $208.4 million as
compared to $69.4 million for the same period in 2005. In 2006 and 2005, the majority of our
capital expenditures were for the expansion of our fleet. We also added assets through our capital
lease program of approximately $19.3 million during the first nine months of 2006 compared to $6.4
million in the same period in 2005.
For 2006, we currently have planned approximately $113 million in cash capital expenditures,
none of which is planned for acquisitions. We do not budget acquisitions in the normal course of
business, but we completed ten acquisitions for total consideration paid of $132.9 million, net of
cash acquired, during the first nine months of 2006 and expect to make additional acquisitions in
2006. The $113 million of capital expenditures planned for property and equipment is primarily for
(1) purchase of additional equipment to expand our services, (2) continued refurbishment of our
well servicing rigs and (3) replacement of existing equipment.
We have taken delivery of 60
newbuild well servicing rigs since October 2004 as part of a 120-rig newbuild commitment. The
remainder of these newbuilds is scheduled to be delivered to us prior to the end of December 2007.
We regularly engage in discussions related to potential acquisitions related to the well
services industry. At present, we have not entered into any agreement, commitment or understanding
with respect to any significant acquisition as significant is defined under SEC rules.
Capital Resources and Financing
Our current primary capital resources are cash flow from our operations, the ability to enter
into capital leases of up to an additional $16.4 million at September 30, 2006, the availability
under our credit facility of $139.4 million at September 30, 2006 and a cash balance of $29.2
million at September 30, 2006. During the first nine months of 2006, we financed activities in
excess of cash flow from operations primarily through the use of bank debt and capital leases.
At September 30, 2006, of the $150.0 million in financial commitments under the revolving line
of credit under our senior credit facility, there was only $139.4 million of available capacity due
to the outstanding balance of $10.6 million of outstanding standby letters of credit. In the normal
course of business, we have performance obligations which are supported by surety bonds and letters
of credit. These obligations primarily cover various reclamation and plugging obligations related
to our operations, and collateral for future workers compensation and liability retained losses.
Our ability to access additional sources of financing will be dependent on our operating cash
flows and demand for our services, which could be negatively impacted due to the extreme volatility
of commodity prices.
Senior Notes
In
April 2006, the Company completed a private offering of $225,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 7.125% Senior Notes due April 15, 2016. The Senior
Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by each of our restricted
subsidiaries.
The net proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes
were used to retire the outstanding Term B Loan balance under the
credit facility and to pay down the outstanding balance
under the revolving credit facility. Remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes,
including acquisitions.
Pursuant to the Indenture governing the Senior Notes, the Company is subject to covenants that
limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur
additional indebtedness, pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock, make certain
investments, incur liens, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, limit dividends
or other payments by restricted subsidiaries, and sell assets or consolidate or merge with or into
other companies. These limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and
exceptions set forth in the Indenture.
35
2005 Credit Facility
Under our Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders (the 2005
Credit Facility), as amended effective March 28, 2006, Basic Energy Services, Inc. is the sole
borrower and each of our subsidiaries is a subsidiary guarantor. The 2005 Credit Facility provided
for a $90 million Term B Loan (Term B Loan), which outstanding balance was repaid in April 2006,
and provides for a $150 million revolving line of credit (Revolver). The 2005 Credit Facility
includes provisions allowing us to request an increase in commitments of up to $75 million at any
time.
The commitment under the Revolver provides for (1) the borrowing of funds, (2) the issuance of
up to $30 million of letters of credit and (3) $2.5 million of swing-line loans. The amounts
outstanding under the Term B Loan required quarterly amortization at various amounts during each
quarter with all amounts outstanding being due and payable in full on December 15, 2011. All the
outstanding amounts under the Revolver are due and payable on December 15, 2010. The 2005 Credit
Facility is secured by substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets.
At our option, borrowings under the Term B Loan bear interest at either (1) the Alternative
Base Rate (i.e., the higher of the banks prime rate or the federal funds rate plus .50% per year)
plus 1.0% or (2) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate plus 2.0%.
At our option, borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at either (1) the Alternative Base
Rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.25% or (2) the LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from
1.50% to 2.25%. The margins vary depending on our leverage ratio. Fees on the letters of credit are
due quarterly on the outstanding amount of the letters of credit at a rate ranging from 1.50% to
2.25% for participation fees and 0.125% for fronting fees. A commitment fee is due quarterly on the
available borrowings under the Revolver at rates ranging from 0.375% to 0.50%.
At
September 30, 2006, we had no outstanding borrowings under the
Term B Loan or the Revolver.
Pursuant to the 2005 Credit Facility, we must apply proceeds from certain specified events to
reduce principal outstanding under the Term B Loan, to the extent outstanding, and then to the
Revolver, including:
|
|
|
assets sales greater than $2.0 million individually or $7.5 million in the aggregate on an annual basis; |
|
|
|
|
50% of the proceeds from any equity offering; |
|
|
|
|
proceeds of any issuance of debt not permitted by the 2005 Credit Facility; |
|
|
|
|
proceeds of permitted unsecured indebtedness, such as the Senior Notes, without reducing
commitments under the revolver; and |
|
|
|
|
proceeds in excess of $2.5 million from casualty events. |
Prior to the date on which all Term B Loans were paid in April 2006, the 2005 Credit Facility
required us to enter into an interest rate hedge, acceptable to the lenders, until May 28, 2006 on
at least $65 million of our then-outstanding indebtedness.
The 2005 Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants and compliance requirements,
including the following:
|
|
|
limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness; |
|
|
|
|
restrictions on mergers, sales or transfer of assets without the lenders consent; |
|
|
|
|
limitation on dividends and distributions; |
|
|
|
|
limitations on capital expenditures; and |
|
|
|
|
various financial covenants, including: |
36
|
|
|
a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 reducing to 3.25 to 1.00, and |
|
|
|
|
a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. |
The 2005 Credit Facility contains customary events of default, which are subject to customary
grace periods and materiality standards, including, among others, events of default upon the
occurrence of: (1) non-payment of any amounts payable under the 2005 Credit Facility when due; (2)
any representation or warranty made in connection with the 2005 Credit Facility being incorrect in
any material respect when made or deemed made; (3) default in the observance or performance of any
covenant, condition or agreement contained in the 2005 Credit Facility or related loan documents
and such default shall continue unremedied or shall not be waived for 30 days; (4) failure to make
payments on other indebtedness involving in excess of $1.0 million; (5) voluntary or involuntary
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us or any of our subsidiaries; (6) entry of fines or
judgments against us for payment of an amount in excess of $2.5 million; (7) an ERISA event which
could reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect or the imposition of a lien on any
of our assets; (8) any security agreement or document under the 2005 Credit Facility ceases to
create a lien on any assets securing the 2005 Credit Facility; (9) any guarantee ceases to be in
full force and effect; (10) any material provision of the 2005 Credit Facility ceases to be valid
and binding or enforceable; (11) a change of control as defined in the 2005 Credit Agreement; of
(12) any determination, ruling, decision, decree or order of any governmental authority, which
prohibits or restrains Basic and its subsidiaries from conducting business and that could
reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect.
Other Debt
We have a variety of other capital leases and notes payable outstanding that is generally
customary in our business. None of these debt instruments are material individually or in the
aggregate. As of September 30, 2006, we had total capital leases of approximately $33.6 million.
Credit Rating Agencies
Effective
September 15, 2006, we received a credit rating of Baa3 from
Moodys for the Revolver portion of the 2005
Credit Facility.
Effective November 22, 2005, we received a credit rating of B+ from Standard & Poors for the
2005 Credit Facility.
We received initial credit ratings of B1 from Moodys and B from Standard & Poors for the
Senior Notes issued in April 2006.
None of our debt or other instruments is dependent upon our credit ratings. However, the
credit ratings may affect our ability to obtain financing in the future.
Other Matters
Net Operating Losses
We used all of our then-available net operating losses for federal income tax purposes when we
completed a recapitalization in December 2000, which included a significant amount of debt
forgiveness. In 2002, our profitability suffered and, when combined with a significant level of
capital expenditures, we ended 2002 with a net operating loss, or NOL, of $30.4 million. In 2003,
we returned to profitability, but we again made significant investments in existing equipment,
additional equipment and acquisitions. Due to these events, we again reported a tax loss in 2003
and ended the year with a $50.7 million NOL, including $7.0 million that was included in the
purchase of FESCO. As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately $4.9 million of NOL carryforwards
related to the pre-acquisition period of FESCO, which is subject to an annual limitation of
approximately $900,000. The carryforwards begin to expire in 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See discussion above in Critical Accounting Estimates and note 2 of the notes to the
unaudited consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 of this quarterly report
regarding Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123 (revised 2004) Share-based Payment and
Financial Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.
Impact of Inflation on Operations
Management is of the opinion that inflation has not had a significant impact on our business.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of September 30, 2006, we had no outstanding borrowings subject to variable interest rate
risk. However, we do have available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility, and we
will be subject to variable interest rate risk in the event we have outstanding borrowings under
the revolving credit facility in the future.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the SECs rules and forms.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On September 3, 2004, David Hudson, Jr. et al commenced a civil action against us in the
District Court of Panola County, Texas, 123rd Judicial District, David Hudson, Jr., et al v. Basic
Energy Services Company, Cause No. 2004-A-137. The complaint alleged that our operation of a
saltwater disposal well has contaminated both the groundwater and the soil in the surrounding area.
The relief requested in the complaint was monetary damages, injunctive relief, environmental
remediation and a court order requiring us to provide drinking water to the community. This matter
was settled in April 2006 for an immaterial amount.
On October 18, 2005, Clifford Golden et al. commenced a civil action against us in the 123rd
Judicial District Court of Panola County, Texas, Clifford Golden et al. v. Basic Energy Services,
LP. The factual basis for this complaint and relief are similar to the Hudson litigation, including
claims that our operation of a saltwater disposal well has contaminated both the groundwater and
the soil in the surrounding area. In addition, this complaint alleges a wrongful death and personal
injuries to unspecified persons. In response to this complaint, we have retained counsel and intend
to defend ourselves vigorously in this action.
We are subject to other claims in the ordinary course of business. However, we believe that
the ultimate dispositions of the above mentioned and other current legal proceedings will not have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Neither Basic, nor any entity required to be consolidated with Basic for purposes of this
report, has been required to pay a penalty to the Internal Revenue Service for failing to make
disclosures required with respect to certain transactions that have been identified by the Internal
Revenue Service as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following reflects the material changes from the information previously reported under
Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The
information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and
other information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our 2005 Credit Facility and the indenture governing our Senior Notes impose restrictions on us
that may affect our ability to successfully operate our business.
Our 2005 Credit Facility and the indenture governing our Senior Notes limit our ability to
take various actions, such as:
|
|
|
limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness; |
|
|
|
|
limitations on dividends, distributions and repurchases or
redemptions of capital stock; |
|
|
|
|
limitations on our ability to make certain investments; |
|
|
|
|
limitations on our ability to incur liens; and |
|
|
|
|
restrictions on mergers or consolidations, and sales or
transfer of assets. |
In addition, our 2005 Credit Facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios and to
satisfy certain financial conditions and covenants, several of which become more restrictive over
time and may require us to reduce our debt or take some other action in order to comply with them.
The failure to comply with any of these financial conditions, financial ratios or covenants would
cause a default under our 2005 Credit Facility. A default, if not waived, could result in
acceleration of the outstanding indebtedness under our 2005 Credit Facility, in which case the debt
would become immediately due and payable. In addition, a default or acceleration of indebtedness
under our 2005 Credit Facility could result in a default or acceleration of our Senior Notes or
other indebtedness with cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions. If this occurs, we may not
be able to pay our debt or borrow sufficient funds to refinance it. Even if new financing is
available, it may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us. These restrictions could
also limit our ability to obtain future financings, make needed capital expenditures,
39
withstand a
downturn in our business or the economy in general, or otherwise conduct necessary corporate
activities.
We also may be prevented from taking advantage of business opportunities that arise because of
the limitations imposed on us by the restrictive covenants under our 2005 Credit Facility. Please
read Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources discussions regarding
2005 Credit Facility and Senior
Notes for a discussion of our 2005 Credit
Facility and the Senior Notes.
