PARKER DRILLING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.   General — In the opinion of the management of Parker Drilling Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a normally recurring nature) which are necessary for a fair presentation of (1) the financial position as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, (2) the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and (3) cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2007. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
    Stock-Based Compensation — Total stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS No. 123R for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 was $2.2 million and $6.3 million respectively, all of which was related to restricted stock plan expense. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS No. 123R for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 was $1.8 million and $4.9 million respectively, of which $1.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively, was related to restricted stock plan expense. Stock-based compensation expense is included in our consolidated condensed income statement in “General and administration expense.” There were 8,334 unvested stock options at December 31, 2006 and none as of September 30, 2007. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under our plans was approximately $1,200 at December 31, 2006 and zero at September 30, 2007. The Company had 1,262,300 outstanding and exercisable stock options as of September 30, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value of which was $5.4 million, with a weighted average exercise price of $5.88. Unvested restricted stock awards at December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007 were 1,556,485 shares and 1,501,224 shares, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unamortized restricted stock awards was $4.8 million as of December 31, 2006 and $7.0 million as of September 30, 2007. There were 54,738 and 859,083 restricted shares granted (net of forfeitures, if any) to certain officers and key employees during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unamortized restricted stock awards will be amortized over a weighted-average vesting period of approximately one year.
 
    During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 the valuation assumptions used in our Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted were 16.9 percent for expected volatility, 0.25 years expected term, 4.23 percent risk free interest rate and there was no expected dividend yield. There were no stock options granted in 2007.
 
    The excess tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from options exercised and restricted stock vesting totaled $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, which has been reported as a financing cash inflow in the consolidated condensed statement of cash flows.
 
2.   Common Stock Offering — In January 2006, we issued 8,900,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a Free Writing Prospectus dated January 17, 2006 and a Prospectus Supplement dated January 18, 2006. On January 23, 2006, we realized $11.23 per share or a total of $99.9 million of net proceeds before expenses, but after underwriter discount, from the offering.

5.   Disposition of Assets Asset dispositions in 2007 consist primarily of the sale of workover barge Rigs 9 and 26 for proceeds of approximately $20.5 million resulting in a recognized gain of $15.1 million. These two rigs were classified as assets held for sale as of December 31, 2006. In 2006, asset dispositions resulted in a gain of $6.9 million that included the sale of Nigerian Barge rigs 73 and 75 ($1.8 million), gains on insurance proceeds relating to assets damaged ($1.9 million) and other miscellaneous asset sales ($3.2 million).

6.   Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (continued)
 
    The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. As a result, the Company has increased its liability by $54.5 million for unrecognized tax amounts related to various federal, state and international tax matters. Included in this amount is $35.1 million of tax positions that, if recognized, would have impacted the Company’s effective tax rate. The recognition of this liability is required under FIN 48 because of the uncertainty regarding the ultimate outcome of certain tax positions. The Company has accounted for the entire $54.5 million as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.
 
    Of the $54.5 million increase referred to above, $49 million is attributable to tax positions in Kazakhstan. As of September 30, 2007, we have a total liability of $90.6 million accrued for tax positions in Kazakhstan before the recognition of U.S. tax benefits. This liability has been classified as non-current in our balance sheet. For a complete overview of this issue, see Kazakhstan Tax Claims in Note 11.
 
    The Company has classified foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, interest and penalties as a component of tax expense. On January 1, 2007, we recorded approximately $41.3 million for interest and penalties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recognized an additional liability of approximately $5.5 million, comprising of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, interest and a release of previously recognized liabilities. The Company does not expect that the unrecognized tax amounts will change significantly within the next twelve months.
 
    The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business our returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world.
 
7.   Income Tax Expense — Income tax expense was $19.2 million for the third quarter of 2007, as compared to income tax expense of $13.2 million for the third quarter of 2006. Income tax for the third quarter of 2007 includes a benefit of $0.5 million of interest and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to our FIN 48 calculation.
 
8.   Saudi Arabia Joint Venture – A subsidiary of Parker Drilling Company is a 50 percent shareholder of Al-Rushaid Parker Drilling, a Saudi Arabia limited liability company (“ARPD”), which has a six rig drilling contract with Saudi Aramco (“SA Contract”). ARPD has obtained bank financing for $160 million of the cost of the six rigs, which loan is secured by assignment of proceeds of the SA contract and personal guarantee of the Chairman of Abdullah Rasheed Al-Rushaid Company for Drilling Oil and Gas Limited, our Saudi partner (“AR”). Our subsidiary and AR have each advanced $15 million in shareholder loans to fund construction costs for the rigs as of October 31, 2007. Due to construction delays and cost overruns, including remedial work to correct problems with construction, integration of components and rig specifications, ARPD expects to incur approximately $40 to $50 million in additional construction costs over the next six to nine months, although the total cost of the six rigs has not been determined at this time. The Company’s subsidiary anticipates contributing up to 50 percent of the additional construction costs for the six rigs. The first rig began drilling operations on April 21, 2007 the second rig commenced drilling on July 17, 2007 and the third rig began drilling on October 8, 2007. It is anticipated that Rig 4 will commence operations during the fourth quarter 2007 and the remaining two rigs will begin drilling in the first quarter of 2008.
 
    During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded two adjustments primarily related to prior 2007 quarters. One adjustment eliminates $2.8 million ($1.8 million after-tax) of previously recognized costs advanced by Parker Drilling on behalf of ARPD which was billed to ARPD during the fourth quarter of 2007. The other offsetting adjustment records the Company’s share of equity losses, net of taxes, from ARPD through September 30, 2007 ($1.1 million). We do not believe these adjustments to be material.

8.   Saudi Arabia Joint Venture (continued)
 
    ARPD may be liable for liquidated damages as a result of delays in the commencement of drilling operations under the SA Contract. See “Contingencies” (Note 11). Continuing losses are anticipated for operations related to the SA Contract through 2008 and will continue until operating expenses can be reduced. However, there is no assurance that costs can be sufficiently reduced to avoid further losses, in which case future profitability will be contingent upon an increase in dayrates through negotiation of a contract extension with Saudi Aramco.

  $ 353,882     $ 329,368  
 
           
    On July 5, 2007, we issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.125 percent Convertible Notes due July 15, 2012 pursuant to a prospectus dated June 28, 2007. Interest is payable semiannually on July 15th and January 15th. The initial conversion price is approximately $13.85 per share and is subject to adjustment for the occurrence of certain events stated within the indenture. Proceeds from the transaction were used to call our outstanding Floating Rate notes, to pay the net cost of hedge and warrant transactions, and for general corporate purposes. Effectively, the hedge and warrant transactions increase the conversion price to approximately $18.29 per share.
 
    On September 20, 2007, we replaced our existing $40.0 million credit facility with a new $60.0 million credit facility pursuant to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which expires in September 2012 (the “2007 Credit Facility”). The 2007 Credit Facility is secured by rental tools equipment, accounts receivable and the stock of substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries, other than domestic subsidiaries owned by a foreign subsidiary, and contains customary affirmative and negative covenants such as minimum ratios for consolidated leverage, consolidated interest coverage and consolidated senior secured leverage.
 
    The 2007 Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes and to fund reimbursement obligations under letters of credit the banks issue on our behalf pursuant to the 2007 Credit Facility. Revolving loans are available under the 2007 Credit Facility subject to a borrowing base limitation based on 85 percent of eligible receivables plus a value for eligible rental tools equipment. The 2007 Credit Facility calls for a borrowing base calculation only when the 2007 Credit Facility has outstanding loans, including letters of credit, totaling at least $40.0 million. As of September 30, 2007, there were $13.5 million in letters of credit outstanding and no loans.
 
10.   Derivative Instruments — We have used derivative instruments to manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations in connection with our $100.0 million Senior Floating Rate Notes which were fully redeemed on September 27, 2007. These derivative instruments, which consisted of variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps, did not meet the hedge criteria in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and were therefore not designated as hedges. Accordingly, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps is recognized currently in earnings.
 
    On July 17, 2007, we terminated one swap scheduled to expire in September 2008 and received $0.7 million. On September 4, 2007, our one remaining swap expired.

11.   Contingencies
 
    Kazakhstan Tax Claims
 
    On October 12, 2005, the Kazakhstan Branch (“PKD Kazakhstan”) of our subsidiary, Parker Drilling Company International Limited (“PDCIL”) received an Act of Tax Audit from the Ministry of Finance of Kazakhstan (“MinFin”) assessing PKD Kazakhstan an amount of KZT (Kazakhstan Tenge) 14.9 billion (approximately $126.1 million). Approximately KZT 7.5 billion or $63.5 million was assessed for import Value Added Tax (“VAT”), administrative fines and interest on equipment imported to perform the drilling contracts (the “VAT Assessment”) and approximately KZT 7.4 billion or $62.6 million for corporate income tax, individual income tax and social tax, administrative fines and interest in connection with the reimbursements received by PDCIL from a client for the upgrade of Barge Rig 257 and other issues related to PKD Kazakhstan’s operations in the Republic of Kazakhstan (the “Income Tax Assessment”).
 
    On May 24, 2006, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan (“SCK”) issued a decision upholding the VAT Assessment. Consistent with its contractual obligations, on November 20, 2006, the client advanced the actual amount of the VAT Assessment and this amount has been remitted to MinFin. The client has also contractually agreed to reimburse PKD Kazakhstan for any incremental income taxes that PKD Kazakhstan incurs from the reimbursement of this VAT Assessment
 
    Contrary to two previous rulings on this precise issue, the May 24, 2006, ruling of the SCK affirmed the Income Tax Assessment. The SCK stayed enforcement and supervisory review to allow the Competent Authorities from the U.S. and the Republic of Kazakhstan to address this matter under the Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”) of the U.S.-Kazakhstan Tax Treaty (the “Tax Treaty”), but when the Competent Authorities met on March 20-22, 2007, they were unable to achieve mutual agreement as to which country may tax the income in issue under the Tax Treaty.
 
    On July 30, 2007, the supervisory panel of the SCK affirmed the May 24, 2006 ruling upholding the income tax assessment of MinFin and on August 7, 2007, MinFin issued a notice of assessment of corporate income taxes of approximately $40 million and interest of approximately $33 million. A liability associated with this claim has been fully accrued as described in Note 6. PKD Kazakhstan immediately filed a Complaint Against the Notice (“Complaint”) and MinFin acknowledged receipt of this Complaint and that no enforcement action would occur pending resolution of the Complaint pursuant to the MAP of the Tax Treaty. The Competent Authorities re-convened on October 8-11, 2007, to address the double taxation issue, but no decision has been announced and PKD Kazakhstan has no assurance as to the ultimate resolution of the double taxation issue.
 
    Bangladesh Claim
 
    In September 2005, a subsidiary of the Company was served with a lawsuit filed in the 152nd District Court of Harris County State of Texas on behalf of numerous citizens of Bangladesh claiming $250 million in damages due to various types of property damage and personal injuries (none involving loss of life) arising as a result of two blowouts that occurred in Bangladesh in January and June 2005, although only the June 2005 blowout involved the Company. This case was dismissed against the subsidiary of the Company based on forum non conveniens, a legal defense raised by the subsidiary claiming that Houston, Texas, is not the appropriate location for this suit to be filed. The plaintiffs have appealed this dismissal; however the Company believes the plaintiffs’ prospects of being successful on appeal are remote.
 
    Asbestos-Related Claims
 
    In August 2004, the Company was notified that certain of its subsidiaries have been named, along with other defendants, in several complaints that have been filed in the Circuit Courts of the State of Mississippi by several hundred persons that allege that they were employed by some of the named defendants between approximately 1965 and 1986. The complaints name as defendants numerous other companies that are not affiliated with the Company, including companies that allegedly manufactured drilling related products containing asbestos that are the subject of the complaints.

    Asbestos-Related Claims (continued)
 
    The complaints allege that the Company’s subsidiaries and other drilling contractors used asbestos-containing products in offshore drilling operations, land-based drilling operations and in drilling structures, drilling rigs, vessels and other equipment and assert claims based on, among other things, negligence and strict liability and claims under the Jones Act and that the Plaintiffs are entitled to monetary damages. Based on the report of the special master, these complaints have been severed and venue of the claims transferred to the county in which the plaintiff resides or the county in which the cause of action allegedly accrued. Subsequent to the filing of amended complaints, Parker has joined with other co-defendants in filing motions to compel discovery to determine what plaintiffs have an employment relationship with which defendant, including whether or not any plaintiffs have an employment relationship with subsidiaries of the Company. Out of 528 amended single-plaintiff complaints filed to date, twelve plaintiffs have identified Parker Drilling or one of its affiliates as a defendant. Discovery is proceeding in groups of 60 based on selection of six by plaintiff’s counsel, six by defense counsel and 48 by random selection of the special master.
 
    The subsidiaries named in these asbestos-related lawsuits intend to defend themselves vigorously and, based on the information available to the Company at this time, the Company does not expect the outcome to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits.
 
    Gulfco Site
 
    In 2003 the Company received an information request under CERCLA designating a subsidiary of the Company as a potentially responsible party with respect to the Gulfco Marine Maintenance, Inc. Superfund Site in Freeport, Texas (EPA No. TX 055144539). We responded to this request in 2003 and have been in contact with EPA regarding the response. In July 2005, EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order for remedial investigation to five potentially responsible parties. The EPA order did not name us. According to EPA, three of the potentially responsible parties who received the order are currently performing a remedial investigation of the site to define the nature and extent of the contamination there. Based on the currently available information, we do not believe we have responsibility for the Gulfco Marine Site. Among other reasons, our subsidiary, Parker Drilling Offshore Company neither owned nor operated the site during the relevant time period, and is not otherwise connected to the site. If a claim were to be brought against us in the future by the United States or the parties performing the work, we would defend that action vigorously. The amount of any such future claim cannot be estimated with accuracy until after the remedial investigation is completed, but it is not expected to be material to our business or financial condition.
 
    Freight Forwarding and Customs Agent Request
 
    During the third quarter of 2007, the U.S. Department of Justice requested us to provide information regarding our utilization of the services of a freight forwarding and customs agent during the past five years to verify if the services provided by this freight forwarding and customs agent were in compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. It is our understanding that a similar request was sent to several other service contractors. We are fully cooperating with the request for information.
 
    Saudi Arabia Joint Venture
 
    A subsidiary of Parker Drilling Company is a 50 percent shareholder of Al-Rushaid Parker Drilling, a Saudi Arabia limited liability company (“ARPD”), which has a six rig drilling contract with Saudi Aramco (“SA Contract”). As previously discussed in Note 8, the construction, delivery and commissioning for each of these rigs is delayed. Under the terms of the SA Contract, Saudi Aramco has the ability to reduce future day rates by 50 percent for each day of delay per rig, which over the duration of the SA Contract term would aggregate to approximately $23.0 million, creating a contingent liability of approximately $11.5 million (50 percent of the ARPD exposure) for Parker’s subsidiary.

    Saudi Arabia Joint Venture (continued)
 
    We believe these delays are substantially caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of ARPD. At the request of ARPD, Saudi Aramco has deferred imposing any liquidated damages for at least six months and ARPD anticipates continued discussions with Saudi Aramco to obtain a waiver of all or substantially all of the liquidated damages based on the delays being beyond the reasonable control of ARPD.
 
12.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 allows certain financial assets and liabilities to be recognized, at the Company’s election, at fair market value, with any gains or losses for the period recorded in the statement of income. This gives a company the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not determined the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 159.

DISCLOSURE NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS (continued)
     Each “forward-looking statement” speaks only as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

OUTLOOK AND OVERVIEW
     As anticipated in our last report, international land drilling revenues increased 28 percent over the second quarter of 2007 and rental tools revenues were up 13 percent in the third versus the second quarter of 2007. Six international land rigs completed transition to higher dayrate contracts and our rental tools segment grew on utilization of new equipment from capital invested earlier in 2007. Our U.S. Gulf of Mexico drilling barges continued strong performance with utilization percent of 83 percent, the highest utilization in over three years. We expect continued strong performance for the remainder of 2007 as we achieve full period benefits of international land operations just begun, commencement of operations of additional international land rigs during the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 and continued growth of our rental tool business. Even though we have begun to see downward pricing pressure in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico drilling barge market and reduction in our backlog of contracts, we expect continued solid performance from this sector into 2008.
Overview
     Drilling and rental operating income was up 27 percent over the third quarter of 2006 due primarily to full quarter results of international land rigs that began drilling in the second quarter of 2007 and commencement of operations of six additional international land rigs during the third quarter. Utilization overall averaged over 78 percent compared to 73 percent in the second quarter of 2007.
     While average dayrates for our U.S. Gulf of Mexico barge operation decreased from $48,000 per day in the second quarter of 2007 to $45,100 per day in the third quarter, utilization increased to 83 percent in the third quarter 2007 compared to 74 percent in the second quarter of 2007 and 72 percent in the third quarter of 2006.
     In our international drilling operations, third quarter 2007 operating profit grew almost $15 million over the third quarter of 2006 as we commenced operations on six rigs during the quarter, with two in CIS region, three in the Asia Pacific region, and one in Algeria. In addition, three rigs in Mexico that began drilling during the middle to latter half of the second quarter drilled the entire third quarter.
     Quail operating profit for the third quarter of 2007 was $1.3 million lower than the third quarter of 2006 due to higher depreciation costs in 2007.
     We closed on our $125.0 million 2.125 percent Convertible Notes in July 2007 and used the proceeds to redeem in full, $100.0 million of our outstanding Floating Rate Notes in September 2007, reducing our cash interest costs by approximately $7.7 million per year. Additionally, we closed on an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which increased the amount of availability under our revolver from $40.0 million to $60.0 million and extended it for five years. Capital expenditures through September 30, 2007 totaled $191.4 million, including $4.7 million of capitalized interest relating to rig construction projects.
Outlook
     In our CIS region, the commencement of two additional rigs under a three year contract toward the end of the second quarter increased the total to four rigs working in the Karachaganak area. In addition, we were recently awarded a one-year contract for another rig in the CIS region that completed its contract earlier in the quarter. We have also secured a new two-rig contract commencing in 2008, utilizing rig 247, which has been undergoing repairs and upgrades, and rig 269, a newly built rig. These international land rigs transitioning to new contracts are expected to provide sustained higher international utilization in the fourth quarter of 2007 and in 2008.

OUTLOOK AND OVERVIEW (continued)
Outlook (continued)
     Two new build land rigs are being commissioned for operation in Mexico and are expected to begin operations late in the fourth quarter. This will bring the land rig total to five rigs under this three-year contract. One barge rig continues to operate in Mexico under a recently signed two-year contract. Another land rig that had been idle after completion of work in the U.S. land market is mobilizing to a new two-year contract in northern Mexico.
     In the Africa/Middle East region, the two new rigs that commenced operations earlier this year in Algeria continue to operate and another is rigging up in Libya; all under three-year contracts.
     For our U.S. Gulf of Mexico barge market, we expect both utilization and dayrates to soften modestly during the fourth quarter. Some rigs are expected to incur downtime between contracts, and dayrates are anticipated to decline from record-setting highs set earlier in 2007. However, we expect rates to remain at levels that generate strong results into 2008 and we believe we will continue to experience high utilization as a preferred contractor by providing our customers a value-added service consisting of quality rigs and efficient and safe operations.
     Our rental tools operation, Quail Tools, continues its solid performance and with the capital infused earlier in the year, the outlook is very positive for 2008. The new Texarkana, Texas location and satellite facility in North Dakota have continued to exceed our initial expectations. We expect this performance to continue through the end of 2007 based on customer forecasts and our new locations.
Recent Events
     New High-Efficiency Rig –
     With the announcement of a two-rig contract commencing in early 2008, we introduced our new design, high efficiency class rig. The new high-efficiency rig is a 2,000 horsepower land rig that incorporates advanced features to meet the increasing demand of operators, including:
— Hydraulic cylinder to raise mast and substructure without engines, reducing rig-up costs, time and emissions,
— “plug and play” adaptability, allowing the operator to customize individual components for different drilling programs,
— enhance safety features, including swing-up structures, and
— fully automated drilling system featuring fuel efficient AC technology and variable frequency drive.
     Kazakhstan Tax Case –
     As referenced in Note 11, we have been contesting an income tax assessment of the Ministry of Finance (“MinFin”) of the Republic of Kazakhstan relating to some reimbursements received in the United States for costs incurred in performing modifications to a barge drilling rig that was later transported to the RoK waters of the North Caspian Sea. We received two prior rulings of the Supreme Court of Kazakhstan (“SCK”) which determined that the income tax assessment was improper, but in May 2006 the SCK reversed its earlier ruling and upheld the assessment, the supervisory panel of the SCK affirmed this ruling on July 30, 2007, and MinFin issue a formal assessment of income taxes on August 6, 2007. We filed a Complaint Against the Notice and MinFin acknowledged that enforcement of the notice would not occur pending resolution of the double taxation issue pursuant to the U.S.-Kazakhstan Tax Treaty. The Competent Authority proceedings re-convened on October 8-11, 2007, but there has been no decision regarding resolution of the double taxation issue and the Company has no assurance as to the ultimate resolution of the double taxation issue.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
U.S. Drilling Segment
     Revenues for the U.S. drilling segment increased $7.4 million to $59.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The increased revenues were primarily due to a $5.3 million increase for our barge drilling operations from higher dayrates and additional operating days for our drilling barges, that more than offset fewer operating days for our workover barges primarily attributable to the sale of workover barge Rigs 9 and 26 (see Note 5) in January 2007. Other factors contributing to the increase were:
    Barge Rig 50 undergoing refurbishment during the third quarter of 2006,
 
    Newly constructed Barge Rig 77 commencing operations in December 2006,
 
    Repositioning two international land rigs in the U.S. market during the last half of 2006, one of which contributed $1.5 million to U.S. drilling segment revenues,
 
    Ongoing BP Liberty engineering and procurement project contributed $2.8 million, and
 
    Average dayrates for the deep drilling barge rigs increased approximately $2,100 per day in 2007 as compared to 2006.
     As a result of approximately seven percent higher dayrates on all barge rigs and the one operating land rig, gross margins, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $2.7 million to $34.1 million.
International Drilling Segment
     International drilling revenues increased $15.4 million to $77.0 million during the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the third quarter of 2006. Of this increase, $18.8 million is related to international land drilling revenues, offset by a $3.4 million decrease in revenues from offshore operations. The decline of $3.4 million in offshore operations is due primarily to the sale of our barge rigs in Nigeria in August 2006, partially offset by a $1.1 million improvement in Barge Rig 53 revenues in Mexico due primarily to a higher dayrate.
     Land revenues in Colombia, Mexico and Algeria increased by $9.7 million, $9.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, as there were no drilling operations in each of these countries in the third quarter of 2006. Net revenues in the CIS increased by $2.9 million primarily attributable to:
    a $5.1 million increase in the Karachaganak area of Kazakhstan as a result of the addition of Rigs 249 and 258 to existing operations of 107 and 216,
 
    a $1.7 million increase in revenues from our O&M contracts on Sakhalin Island,
 
    a $1.8 million increase from commencement of operations of Rig 236 in Kazakhstan in late 2006, and
 
    a $6.2 million decrease due to the completion of the TCO contract in Kazakhstan (Tengiz area) in 2006.
     In our Asia Pacific region, revenues decreased $6.4 million due mainly to completion of our contract within Bangladesh for Rig 225 in March 2007 ($3.2 million) and O&M contracts in Papua New Guinea ($1.4 million) and lower utilization (54 percent) in New Zealand during the third quarter of 2007 ($2.0 million).
     Gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization, for international land operations increased $15.2 million, due primarily to our operations in Mexico ($4.6 million), Colombia ($4.5 million) and the CIS ($6.0 million). The increases in Colombia and Mexico are attributable to having operations in 2007 compared to no operations during the third quarter of 2006. In the CIS region, our operations in the Karachaganak area of Kazakhstan contributed $2.1 million of gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization; our O&M contract on Sakhalin Island added $1.0 million and Rig 230 in Turkmenistan contributed $2.2 million. The increase in Turkmenistan is due to shutdown costs related to completed contracts incurred in the third quarter 2006.
     International offshore revenues declined $3.4 million to $10.0 million during the third quarter of 2007 compared to the third quarter of 2006. This decrease was due primarily to the sale of our Nigerian barge rigs in the third quarter of 2006 partially offset by higher revenues for Barge Rig 53 in Mexico. Gross margins, excluding depreciation and amortization, for international offshore operations increased $1.7 million as a result of the higher dayrate in Mexico combined with lower costs in the Caspian Sea, offset partially by the sale of the Nigerian barge rigs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Rental Tools Segment
     Rental tools revenues increased $2.7 million to $35.5 million during the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the third quarter of 2006. The increase was due primarily to an increase in rental revenues of $4.9 million at our Texarkana, Texas operations, $3.2 million from our Evanston, Wyoming operations, and $0.7 million from our international operations, partially offset by declines of $2.9 million and $2.5 million at our Victoria and Odessa, Texas locations, respectively and $0.6 million at our New Iberia, Louisiana operations. Revenues increased as a result of our expansion efforts in Texarkana, Texas and in Wyoming.
     Rental tools gross margins, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $0.4 million to $20.9 million for the current quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2006. Gross margin percentage, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased to 59 percent in the current quarter as compared to 62 percent in the comparable period in 2006. The margin decline relates to higher operating costs in the third quarter of 2007. The 2006/2007 expansion of Quail has been completed as equipment has been delivered and Quail’s new facility in Texas, Texas opened in April 2007. The new facility provides increased coverage of the Barnett, Fayetteville and Woodford shale areas in East Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
Other Financial Data
     Gain on asset dispositions was $0.5 million, a decrease of $3.8 million as a result of minor asset sales in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to a gain of $4.3 million in 2006 as a result of the sale of two rigs in Nigeria and a cash gain of $1.9 million in connection with the collection of final insurance proceeds with regards to Barge Rig 57 that was damaged in a July 2005 incident while under tow. Interest expense declined $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the third quarter of 2006 due primarily to capitalization of $1.3 million in interest on rig construction projects in 2007 as compared to $1.0 million of capitalized interest in the third quarter of 2006. Interest income decreased $0.4 million due to higher investments in marketable securities in the third quarter of 2006 as compared to 2007. General and administration expense decreased $1.8 million as compared to the third quarter of 2006 due to a revision of our allocation method to more fairly match overhead costs directly to our operations.
     In 2004, we entered into two variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements. The swap agreements did not qualify for hedge accounting and accordingly, we reported the mark-to-market change in the fair value of the interest rate derivatives in earnings. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized a $0.3 million decrease in the fair value of the derivative positions and for the three months ended September 30, 2006 we recognized a $1.0 million decrease in the fair value of the derivative positions. For additional information see Note 8 in the notes to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements. On July 17, 2007, we terminated one swap scheduled to expire in September 2008 and received $0.7 million. The second swap was not renewed and expired on September 4, 2007.
     Income tax expense was $19.2 million for the third quarter of 2007 as compared to $13.2 million for the third quarter of 2006. Income tax for the third quarter of 2007 includes a benefit of $0.5 million of interest and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to our FIN 48 calculation.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006
     We recorded net income of $69.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to net income of $43.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Drilling and rental operating income was $149.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $124.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Gain on disposition of assets for the current period was $17.2 million as compared to $6.9 million in the comparable period in 2006.

U.S. Drilling Segment
     Revenues for the U.S drilling segment increased $43.7 million to $179.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increased revenues were primarily due to a $30.0 million increase for our barge drilling operations from significantly higher dayrates that more than offset fewer operating days, primarily related to the sale of workover Barge Rigs 9 and 26 (see Note 5) and the refurbishment of Barge Rig 8 during the third quarter of 2007. Barge Rig 12 was undergoing an upgrade from workover to deep drilling status until late May 2006 and newly constructed Barge Rig 77 also began operations in December 2006. During 2007 we also had two repositioned international land rigs operating in the U.S. market which contributed $9.1 million to the increase in U.S. drilling segment revenues as well as an additional $4.6 million related to the BP Liberty engineering and procurement project.

Table of Contents

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
U.S. Drilling Segment (continued)
     Average dayrates for the deep drilling barge rigs increased approximately $8,900 per day in 2007 as compared to 2006. As a result of approximately 35 percent higher dayrates on all barge rigs, the addition of two land rigs and effective operating cost controls, gross margins, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $25.0 million to $102.0 million. This increase includes $1.2 million for the two land rigs and $1.8 million for the engineering project referred to above.
International Drilling Segment
     International drilling revenues decreased $16.5 million to $197.9 million during the first nine months of 2007 as compared to the first nine months of 2006. Of this decrease, $2.2 million is related to international land drilling revenues and $14.4 million to revenues from offshore operations. The decline in land revenues relates primarily to the release of rigs previously working under our TCO contract in Kazakhstan and the completion of our contract wells in Turkmenistan, being mostly offset by our operations in Colombia which contributed an additional $26.8 million in revenues. The decline of $14.4 million in offshore operations is due primarily to the sale of our barge rigs in Nigeria.
     Land revenues in the CIS decreased by $17.6 million due to the TCO contract completion in 2006 ($25.6 million), the release of our three rigs in Turkmenistan ($7.3 million) during the third quarter of 2006 and reduction in revenues related to our Sakhalin Island operations ($6.4 million) primarily related to lower reimbursable revenues and the completion of a water reinjection well project in July 2006. In the Karachaganak area of Kazakhstan, revenues increased by $9.0 million as a result of higher dayrates and the addition of Rig 107 (which was released in late December 2005 from the TCO contract) which commenced operations at the end of March 2006 and the addition of Rigs 249 and 258 (from the TCO contract). In addition Rig 236, which began drilling in Kazakhstan in late 2006, contributed $10.1 million in revenues. In our Asia Pacific region, revenues decreased $9.6 million due mainly to terminations of contracts within Bangladesh for Rig 225 ($5.2 million) and for two of our rigs within New Zealand ($3.1 million).
     Gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization, for international land operations increased by $4.0 million. In Mexico gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization, improved by $8.7 million due to lower expenses in 2007, as 2006 included costs to close down operations and relocate the rigs out of the country. In Colombia, gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by $12.4 million as two rigs drilled the entire period in 2007, compared to no rigs operating in Colombia in the comparable period of 2006. In the Karachaganak area of Kazakhstan, gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $4.7 million as two rigs operated all of the period of 2007, compared to one rig in the comparable period of 2006 and also as a result of pre-mobilization standby revenues on another two rigs received in the first nine months of 2007. Rig 236, also in Kazakhstan contributed an increase of $2.4 million for the period of 2007, as this rig was not working in the region in the comparable period in 2006. These increases were partially offset by the completion of contract wells under our TCO contract, the release of rigs in Turkmenistan, and shifting of Rig 122 and 256 to U.S. operations.
     International offshore revenues declined $14.4 million to $26.7 million during the first nine months of 2007 compared to the first nine months of 2006. This decrease was due primarily to the sale of our Nigerian barge rigs in the third quarter of 2006. Revenues for Barge Rig 53 in Mexico increased $3.1 million due to a higher dayrate. Gross margins, excluding depreciation and amortization, for international offshore operations increased $3.8 million as a result of the higher dayrate in Mexico combined with lower costs in the Caspian Sea, partially offset by the sale of the Nigeria barge rigs.
Rental Tools Segment
     Rental tools revenues increased $6.5 million to $96.9 million during the first nine months of 2007 as compared to the first nine months of 2006. The increase was due primarily to an increase in rental revenues of $1.7 million from international rentals and $5.8 million from our Evanston, Wyoming operations, partially offset by a decline of $0.9 million from our Victoria and Odessa, Texas operations.

29


Table of Contents

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Rental Tools Segment (continued)
     Revenues increased primarily due to higher demand and higher rental tool sales. Rental tools gross margins, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $2.0 million to $58.6 million for the current period as compared to the comparable period of 2006. Gross margin percentage, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased to 61 percent in the current period as compared to 63 percent in the comparable period in 2006, due primarily to fewer equipment sales.
Other Financial Data
     Gain on asset dispositions increased by $10.3 million, due primarily to the gain on the sale of the two workover barge rigs in the first quarter of 2007. Interest expense declined $5.3 million in the current period of 2007 as compared to 2006 due to lower average outstanding debt and capitalization of $4.7 million in interest on rig construction projects in 2007. There was $2.0 million of capitalized interest in the first nine months of 2006. Interest income for the current period was relatively unchanged when compared to the same period for 2006. General and administration expense decreased $4.9 million as compared to first nine months of 2006 due to a revision of our allocation method to more fairly match overhead costs directly to our operations.
     In 2004, we entered into two variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements. The swap agreements did not qualify for hedge accounting and accordingly, we have reported the mark-to-market change in the fair value of the interest rate derivatives currently in earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized a $0.7 million decrease in the fair value of the derivative positions and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized a $0.2 million increase in the fair value of the derivative positions. On July 17, 2007, we terminated one swap scheduled to expire in September 2008 and received $0.7 million. In addition, the second swap was not renewed and expired on September 4, 2007.
     Income tax expense was $59.1 million for the first nine months of 2007 as compared to $42.4 million for the third quarter of 2006. The $16.7 million increase in taxes during the current period was due primarily to the impact of the gain on the sale of the two U.S. workover barge rigs, the inclusion of FIN 48 interest and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation described in Note 6 and the increase in operating income related to U.S. operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows
     As of September 30, 2007, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $67.0 million, a decrease of $88.2 million from December 31, 2006. The primary sources of cash for the nine-month period as reflected on the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows were $52.1 million provided by operating activities, $110.2 million from the issuance of convertible debt, net of issuance costs and hedge and warrant transactions and $15.8 million from stock options exercised. The primary use of cash was $105.2 million used in investing activities, including $191.4 million for capital expenditures, net proceeds of $20.5 million from the sale of two workover barge rigs and $62.9 million in net proceeds from the sale and purchase of marketable securities and a $100.0 million reduction in debt. Major capital expenditures for the period included $55.9 million on construction of new land rigs and $57.2 million for tubulars and other rental tools for the expansion of Quail Tools.
     As of September 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $172.3 million, an increase of $94.2 million from December 31, 2005. The primary sources of cash for the nine-month period as reflected on the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows were $110.8 million provided by operating activities, $144.7 million used in investing activities, $58.7 million provided from financing activities, $99.9 million of net proceeds on our common stock issuance in January 2006 and a $50.0 million reduction in debt, net of premium. Major investing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 included proceeds of $46.0 million from the sale of two Nigeria barge rigs, a $69.4 million net investment in auction rate securities and $129.0 million for capital expenditures. Major capital expenditures for the period included $19.0 million on construction of four new 2,000 HP land rigs, $30.7 million for tubulars and other rental tools for Quail Tools, $7.4 million on the conversion of workover Barge Rig 12 to a deep drilling barge and $21.5 million on construction of a new ultra-deep drilling barge.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)
Financing Activity
     On July 5, 2007, we issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.125 percent Convertible Notes due July 15, 2012 pursuant to a prospectus dated June 28, 2007. Interest is payable semiannually on July 15th and January 15th. The initial conversion price is approximately $13.85 per share and is subject to adjustment for the occurrence of certain events stated within the indenture. Proceeds from the transaction were used to call our outstanding Floating Rate notes, to pay the net cost of hedge and warrant transactions, and for general corporate purposes. Effectively, the hedge and warrant transactions increase the conversion price to approximately $18.29 per share.
     On September 20, 2007, we replaced our existing $40.0 million Credit Agreement with a new $60.0 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“2007 Credit Facility”) which expires in September 2012. The 2007 Credit Facility is secured by rental tools equipment, accounts receivable and the stock of substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries, other than domestic subsidiaries owned by a foreign subsidiary and contains customary affirmative and negative covenants such as minimum ratios for consolidated leverage, consolidated interest coverage and consolidated senior secured leverage.
     The 2007 Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes and to fund reimbursement obligations under letters of credit the banks issue on our behalf pursuant to this facility. Revolving loans are available under the 2007 Credit Facility subject to a borrowing base limitation based on 85 percent of eligible receivables plus a value for eligible rental tools equipment. The 2007 Credit Facility calls for a borrowing base calculation only when the 2007 Credit Facility has outstanding loans, including letters of credit, totaling at least $40.0 million. As of September 30, 2007, there were $13.5 million in letters of credit outstanding and no loans.
     On September 27, 2007, we redeemed $100.0 million face value of our Senior Floating Rate Notes pursuant to a redemption notice dated August 17, 2007 at the redemption price of 101.0 percent. Proceeds from the sale of our Convertible Notes were used to fund the redemption.
     On January 18, 2006 we issued 8,900,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to a Free Writing Prospectus dated January 17, 2006 and a Prospectus Supplement dated January 18, 2006. On January 23, 2006, we realized $11.23 per share or a total of $99.9 million of net proceeds before expenses, but after underwriter discount, from the offering. Proceeds from this offering are being used for capital expansions, including rig upgrades, new rig construction and expansion of our rental tools business.
     On September 8, 2006, we redeemed $50.0 million face value of our Senior Floating Rate Notes pursuant to a redemption notice dated August 8, 2006 at the redemption price of 102.0 percent. Proceeds from the sale of our Nigerian barge rigs and cash on hand were used to fund the redemption.
     We had total long-term debt of $353.9 million as of September 30, 2007. The long-term debt included:
    $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes bearing interest at a rate of 2.125 percent, which are due July 15, 2012; and
 
    $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.625 percent Senior Notes, which are due October 1, 2013 plus an associated $3.9 million in unamortized debt premium.
     As of September 30, 2007, we had approximately $113.5 million of liquidity. This liquidity was comprised of $67.0 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $46.5 million of availability under the revolving credit facility.

The revolving credit facility expires September 20, 2012.
OTHER MATTERS
Critical Accounting Policies
     Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — Our accounting policy for income taxes was recently modified due to the adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with FIN 48 requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of liabilities reported and related disclosures due to the uncertainty as to the final resolution of certain tax matters. We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in Note 6 of this quarterly report on 2007 Form 10-Q. The application of the prescribed factors in evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits may result in recognition of liabilities due to uncertainties of certain tax positions. Because the recognition of liabilities may require periodic adjustments and may not necessarily imply any change in management’s assessment of the ultimate outcome of such tax matters, the amount recorded as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. Other than the adoption of FIN 48, our critical accounting policies and the methodologies and assumptions we apply under them have not materially changed since the date of our 2006 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     We have used derivative instruments to manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations in connection with our $100.0 million Senior Floating Rate Notes which were fully redeemed on September 27, 2007. These derivative instruments, which consisted of variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps, did not meet the hedge criteria in SFAS No. 133 and were therefore not designated as hedges. Accordingly, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps was recognized in earnings.
     On July 17, 2007, we terminated one swap scheduled to expire in September 2008 and received $0.7 million. On September 4, 2007, our one remaining swap expired.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures — We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. We performed evaluations under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at September 30, 2007.
     Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
