CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among other things, the risk factors discussed in this quarterly report and in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other factors, most of which are beyond our control.
The words believe, may, estimate, continue, anticipate, intend, plan, expect, indicate and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this quarterly report are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report are based upon reasonable assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this quarterly report may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Important factors that may affect our expectations, estimates or projections include:
| a decline in, or substantial volatility of, oil or natural gas prices, and any related changes in expenditures by our customers; |
| the effects of future acquisitions on our business; |
| changes in customer requirements in markets or industries we serve; |
| competition within our industry; |
| general economic and market conditions; |
| our access to current or future financing arrangements; |
| our ability to replace or add workers at economic rates; and |
| environmental and other governmental regulations. |
Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. Unless otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
This quarterly report includes market share and industry data and forecasts that we obtained from internal company surveys (including estimates based on our knowledge and experience in the industry in which we operate), market research, consultant surveys, publicly available information, and industry publications and surveys. Industry surveys and publications, consultant surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. Although we believe such information is accurate and reliable, we have not independently verified any of the data from third party sources cited or used for our managements industry estimates, nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon therein. For example, the number of onshore well servicing rigs in the U.S. could be lower than our estimate to the extent our two larger competitors have continued to report as stacked rigs equipment that is not actually complete or subject to refurbishment. Statements as to our position relative to our competitors or as to market share refer to the most recent available data.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2012 (unaudited)
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 which are of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.
Nature of Operations
Basic provides a wide range of well site services to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies, including completion and remedial services, fluid services and well site construction services, well servicing and contract drilling. These services are primarily provided using Basics fleet of equipment. Basics operations are concentrated in the major United States onshore oil and gas producing regions in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Colorado, Utah, Montana, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
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 variable interest in any other organization, entity, partnership, or contract. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Estimates and Uncertainties
Preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas where critical accounting estimates are made by management include:
| Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets |
| Impairment of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets |
| Allowance for doubtful accounts |
| Litigation and self-insured risk reserves |
| Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed |
| Future cash flows |
| Stock-based compensation |
| Income taxes |
| Asset retirement obligations |

Table of Contents
Revenue Recognition
Completion and Remedial Services Completion and remedial services consists primarily of pumping services, focused on cementing, acidizing and fracturing, nitrogen units, coiled tubing units, snubbing units, water treatment, thru-tubing and rental and fishing tools. 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 completion and remedial 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 value of the services.
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, and well site construction and maintenance 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 fluid services by the job, by the hour or by the quantities sold, disposed of or hauled.
Well Servicing Well servicing consists primarily of maintenance services, workover services, completion services, plugging and abandonment services and rig manufacturing and servicing. 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 or by the day of service performed. Rig manufacturing revenue is recognized when the rig is accepted by the customer, based on the completed contract method by individual rig.
Contract Drilling Contract drilling consists primarily of drilling wells to a specified depth using drilling rigs. Basic recognizes revenues based on either a daywork contract, in which an agreed upon rate per day is charged to the customer, or a footage contract, in which an agreed upon rate is charged per the number of feet drilled.
Taxes assessed on sales transactions are presented on a net basis and are not included in revenue.
Inventories
For rental and fishing tools, inventories consisting mainly of grapples and drill bits are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined by the average cost method. Other inventories, consisting mainly of manufacturing raw materials, rig components, repair parts, drilling and completion materials and gravel, are held for use in the operations of Basic and are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
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 and additions and improvements that significantly extend the lives of the assets are capitalized. Upon sale or other retirement of depreciable property, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations. All property and equipment are depreciated or amortized (to the extent of estimated salvage values) on the straight-line method. The components of a well servicing rig generally require replacement or refurbishment during the well servicing rigs life and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 15 years. The costs of the original components of a purchased or acquired well servicing rig are not maintained separately from the base rig.
Impairments
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment at least 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. These assets are normally sold within a short period of time through a third party auctioneer.

Basics goodwill and trade name intangibles are considered to have an indefinite useful economic life and are not amortized. Basic assesses impairment of its goodwill and trade name intangibles annually as of December 31 or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the assets has decreased below the assets carrying value. A qualitative assessment is allowed to determine if goodwill is potentially impaired. The qualitative assessment determines whether it is more likely than not that a reporting units fair value is less than its carrying amount. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount then the two-step impairment test is performed. 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.
Deferred Debt Costs
Basic capitalizes certain costs in connection with obtaining its borrowings, such as lenders fees and related attorneys fees. These costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.
Deferred debt costs were approximately $20.8 million net of accumulated amortization of $5.3 million, and $20.8 million net of accumulated amortization of $4.6 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Amortization of deferred debt costs totaled approximately $693,000 and $432,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Basic recorded a charge of $3.9 million during the first quarter of 2011 related to the write-off of debt costs associated with its 11.625% Senior Secured Notes and $30.0 million revolving credit facility. On February 15, 2011, Basic terminated the revolving credit facility and completed the closing for an early tender for approximately $224.7 million of the Senior Secured Notes and delivered to the trustee amounts required to satisfy and discharge remaining obligations for the outstanding notes. Basic also incurred $3.2 million of deferred debt costs associated with the $165.0 million revolving credit facility entered into on February 15, 2011. Basic incurred $12.4 million of deferred debt costs associated with the issuance of the 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
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. Basic completes its assessment of goodwill and trade name intangible impairment as of December 31 of each year.
Basic had trade names of $1.9 million as of March 31, 2012 and $1.9 million at December 31, 2011. Trade names have an indefinite life and are tested for impairment annually.
Additions to goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were primarily due to the purchase price allocations for acquisitions completed during 2011. These purchase price allocations were preliminary and subject to change. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

Basics intangible assets subject to amortization consist of customer relationships, non-compete agreements and rig engineering plans. The gross carrying amount of customer relationships subject to amortization was $76.6 million at March 31, 2012 and $78.2 million at December 31, 2011. The gross carrying amount of non-compete agreements subject to amortization totaled approximately $7.4 million and $7.6 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The gross carrying amount of other intangible assets subject to amortization was $1.1 million and $1.1 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to these intangible assets totaled approximately $15.3 million and $14.1 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Amortization expense for the three

months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Other intangibles net of accumulated amortization allocated to reporting units as of March 31, 2012 were $56.9 million, $3.6 million, $4.8 million and $4.5 million for completion and remedial services, fluid services, well servicing, and contract drilling, respectively. No adjustments were made to prior periods to reflect subsequent adjustments to acquisitions due to immateriality. Customer relationships are amortized over a 15-year life, non-compete agreements are amortized over a five-year life, and rig engineering plans are amortized over a 15-year life.
Stock-Based Compensation
Basics stock-based awards consist of stock options and restricted stock. Stock options issued are valued on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, and restricted stock issued is valued based on the fair value of Basics common stock at the grant date. All stock-based awards are adjusted for an expected forfeiture rate and amortized over the vesting period.
Income Taxes
Basic recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. 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.
The decrease in our effective tax rate from the three months ended March 31, 2011 to the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to an increased tax effect related to the early tender of our Senior Secured Notes in February 2011.
Interest charges are recorded in interest expense and penalties are recorded in income tax expense.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject Basic to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. Basic restricts investment of temporary cash investments to financial institutions with high credit standing. Basics customer base consists primarily of multi-national and independent oil and natural gas producers. Basic performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral on its trade receivables. Credit risk is considered by management to be limited due to the large number of customers comprising its customer base. Basic maintains an allowance for potential credit losses on its trade receivables, and such losses have been within managements expectations.
Basic did not have any one customer that represented 10% or more of consolidated revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2012 or 2011.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Basic records 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 capitalizes 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 settlements of obligations.
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, chemicals 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, its past experience with similar claims and the likelihood of the future event occurring. Basic maintains accruals on the consolidated balance sheets to cover self-insurance retentions (See note 6).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive income. This statement is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update will be applied retrospectively. Basic currently does not have any items of other comprehensive income and therefore does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (ASU 2011-08). ASU 2011-08 allows a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting units fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit would be performed. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. Basic early adopted this accounting standard update and although it has changed the process Basic uses to determine if goodwill is impaired, it has not had a material impact on Basics consolidated financial statements.

On July 8, 2011, Basic acquired all of the equity interests of the Maverick Companies. The results of the Maverick Companies operations have been included in the financial statements since that date. The amount of revenue included in the consolidated statement of operations during the first three months of 2012 was $34.9 million. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $186.3 million in cash.

7.125% Senior Notes due 2016
On April 12, 2006, Basic issued $225.0 million of 7.125% Senior Notes due April 2016 (the 7.125% Senior Notes) in a private placement. The 7.125% Senior Notes are unsecured. Under the terms of the sale of the 7.125% Senior Notes, Basic was required to take appropriate steps to offer to exchange other 7.125% Senior Notes with the same terms that have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the private placement 7.125% Senior Notes. Basic completed the exchange offer for all of the 7.125% Senior Notes on October 16, 2006.
Basic issued the 7.125% Senior Notes pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 12, 2006, by and among Basic, the guarantor parties thereto and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the 7.125% Senior Notes Indenture). Interest on the 7.125% Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 7.125% per year. Interest payments on the 7.125% Senior Notes are due semi-annually, on April 15 and October 15.
The 7.125% Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of Basic at specified redemption prices as described in the 7.125% Senior Notes Indenture.
Following a change of control, as defined in the 7.125% Senior Notes Indenture, Basic 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.
The 7.125% Senior Notes Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Basic and its restricted subsidiaries to 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 7.125% Senior Notes Indenture. At March 31, 2012, Basic was in compliance with the restrictive covenants under the 7.125% Senior Notes Indenture.
As part of the issuance of the above-mentioned 7.125% Senior Notes, Basic incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $5.2 million, which are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 7.125% Senior Notes.
The 7.125% Senior Notes are jointly and severally, and unconditionally, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of Basics current subsidiaries, other than three immaterial subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2012, these three subsidiaries held no assets and performed no operations. Basic Energy Services, Inc., the ultimate parent company, does not have any independent operating assets or operations.
7.75% Senior Notes due 2019
On February 15, 2011, Basic issued $275.0 million of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the 7.75% Senior Notes). On June 13, 2011, Basic issued an additional $200.0 million of 7.75% Senior Notes. The 7.75% Senior Notes are jointly and severally, and unconditionally, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of Basics current subsidiaries, other than three immaterial subsidiaries. The 7.75% Senior Notes and the guarantees rank (i) equally in right of payment with any of Basics and the subsidiary guarantors existing and future senior indebtedness, including Basics existing 7.125% Senior Notes and the related guarantees, and (ii) effectively junior to all existing or future liabilities of Basics subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 7.75% Senior Notes and to Basics and the subsidiary guarantors existing or future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral therefor.

Table of Contents
The 7.75% Senior Notes were offered and sold in private transactions in accordance with Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). Under the terms of the sale of the 7.75% Senior Notes, Basic was required to take appropriate steps to offer to exchange other 7.75% Senior Notes with the same terms that have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the private placement 7.75% Senior Notes. Basic completed the exchange offer for all of the 7.75% Senior Notes on November 15, 2011.
The purchase price for the $275.0 million of 7.75% Senior Notes issued on February 15, 2011 was 100.000% of their principal amount, and the purchase price for the $200.0 million of 7.75% Senior Notes issued on June 13, 2011 was 101.000%, plus accrued interest from February 15, 2011. Basic received net proceeds from the issuance of the 7.75% Senior Notes of approximately $464.6 million after premiums and offering expenses. Basic used a portion of the net proceeds from the February offering to fund its tender offer and consent solicitation for its 11.625% Senior Secured Notes and to redeem the Senior Secured Notes not purchased in the tender offer. Basic used a portion of the net proceeds from the June offering to fund the $186.3 million purchase price for the Maverick Companies acquisition completed in July 2011 and for general corporate purposes.
The 7.75% Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 15, 2011 (the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture), by and among Basic, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee. Interest on the 7.75% Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 7.75% per year. Interest on the 7.75% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 7.75% Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2019.
The 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit Basics ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock; make certain investments; incur liens; enter into certain types of transactions with its affiliates; limit dividends or other payments by Basics restricted subsidiaries to Basic; and sell assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies. These and other covenants that are contained in the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture are subject to important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture. At March 31, 2012, Basic was in compliance with the restrictive covenants under the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture.
Basic may, at its option, redeem all or part of the 7.75% Senior Notes, at any time on or after February 15, 2015, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a premium declining ratably to par and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
At any time before February 15, 2014, Basic, at its option, may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7.75% Senior Notes issued under the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture with the net cash proceeds of one or more qualified equity offerings at a redemption price of 107.750% of the principal amount of the 7.75% Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, as long as:
| at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7.75% Senior Notes issued under the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and |
| such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of any such qualified equity offering. |
In addition, at any time before February 15, 2015, Basic may redeem some or all of the 7.75% Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 7.75% Senior Notes, plus an applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
Following a change of control, as defined in the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture, Basic will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
Revolving Credit Facility
On February 15, 2011, in connection with the 7.75% Senior Notes offering, Basic entered into a new $165.0 million revolving credit facility (the Credit Agreement) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Capital One, National Association, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature whereby the total credit available to Basic can be increased by up to $100.0 million under certain circumstances, subject to additional lender commitments. On July 15, 2011, Basic exercised the accordion feature and amended the Credit Agreement to increase its total credit available from $165.0 million to $225.0 million. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each of Basics current subsidiaries, other than three immaterial subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all assets of Basic and the guarantors as collateral under a related Security Agreement (the Security Agreement). As of March 31, 2012, the non-guarantor subsidiaries held no assets and performed no operations.
16
Table of Contents
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement mature on January 15, 2016, and Basic has the ability at any time to prepay the Credit Agreement without premium or penalty. At Basics option, advances under the Credit Agreement may be comprised of (i) alternate base rate loans, at a variable base interest rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% based on Basics leverage ratio or (ii) Eurodollar loans, at a variable base interest rate plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.25% based on Basics leverage ratio. Basic will pay a commitment fee equal to 0.50% on the daily unused amount of the commitments under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, subject to agreed upon exceptions, limit Basics ability and the ability of certain of Basics subsidiaries to:
| incur indebtedness; |
| grant liens; |
| enter into sale and leaseback transactions; |
| make loans, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments; |
| change the nature of business; |
| acquire or sell assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies; |
| declare or pay dividends; |
| enter into transactions with affiliates; |
| enter into burdensome agreements; |
| prepay, redeem or modify or terminate other indebtedness; |
| change accounting policies and reporting practices; and |
| amend organizational documents. |
The Credit Agreement also contains covenants that, among other things, limit the amount of capital contributions Basic may make and require Basic to maintain specified ratios or conditions as follows:
| a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00; |
| a maximum consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 4.00 to 1.00; and |
| a maximum consolidated senior secured leverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00. |
If an event of default occurs under the Credit Agreement, then the lenders may (i) terminate their commitments under the Credit Agreement, (ii) declare any outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable after applicable grace periods and (iii) foreclose on the collateral secured by the Security Agreement.
Basic had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012, Basic was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Other Debt
Basic has a variety of other capital leases and notes payable outstanding that are generally customary in its business. None of these debt instruments are individually material. Basics leases with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC require it to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.05 to 1.00. At March 31, 2012, Basic was in compliance with this covenant.

Losses on Extinguishment of Debt
In February 2011, upon the retirement of the 11.625% Senior Secured Notes and the termination of Basics $30.0 million revolving credit facility, Basic wrote off unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $3.9 million and unamortized discount of $9.2 million. Basic also paid a premium of $36.2 million to the holders of the 11.625% Senior Secured Notes for the early termination of the notes.
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 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.
During April 2011, Basic received notice from the Travis County District Attorney of a pending investigation of a potential felony criminal case referred by Texas Parks & Wildlife and the Texas Environmental Enforcement Task Force, to be presented to a Travis County grand jury. The potential matter relates to a land farm owned by Basic located in Jefferson County, Texas. While Basic is currently responding to additional inquiries regarding the investigation and believes the investigation may also relate to alleged unlawful discharges, Basic has not been informed of any specific potential charges at this time. Basic does not believe it is probable or reasonably possible that this matter will result in any material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this matter.
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, general liability claims, 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, general liability claims, and medical and dental coverage of $750,000, $750,000, and $250,000, respectively. Basic has lower deductibles per occurrence for automobile liability. Basic maintains accruals in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets related to self-insurance retentions based upon third-party data and claims history.
At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, self-insured risk accruals totaled approximately $20.0 million net of a $36,000 receivable for medical and dental coverage and $19.7 million net of a $1,000 receivable for medical and dental coverage, respectively.
7. Stockholders Equity
Common Stock
At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Basic had 80,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, authorized.
During the year ended 2011, Basic issued 480,000 shares of common stock from treasury stock upon the exercise of stock options.
In March 2011, Basic granted various employees 510,399 restricted shares of common stock which vest over a three-year period.
In March 2011, the Compensation Committee of Basics Board of Directors approved grants of performance-based stock awards to certain members of management. In January 2012, it was determined that 161,785 shares, or 111% of the target number of shares, were earned based on Basics achievement of total stockholder return over the performance period from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, as compared to other members of a defined peer group. These restricted shares remain subject to vesting over a three-year period, with the first shares vesting on March 15, 2013.
In March 2012, Basic granted various employees 644,938 restricted shares of common stock that vest over a three-year period and 179,000 shares that vest over a four-year period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, Basic issued 10,000 shares of common stock from treasury stock for the exercise of stock options.
Treasury Stock
Basic has acquired treasury shares through net share settlements for payment of payroll taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock. Basic acquired a total of 79,730 shares through net share settlements during 2011 and 181,476 shares through net share settlements during the first three months of 2012.
Preferred Stock
At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Basic had 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, authorized, of which none was designated, issued or outstanding.
8. Incentive Plan
In May 2003, Basics board of directors and stockholders approved the Basic Energy Services, Inc. 2003 Incentive Plan (as amended, 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 predecessors that were awarded and remained outstanding prior to adoption of the Plan. The Plan provides for the issuance of 8,350,000 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.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, compensation expense related to share-based arrangements was approximately $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. For compensation expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, Basic recognized a tax benefit of approximately $816,000 and $744,000, respectively.

Table of Contents
As of March 31, 2012, there was approximately $27.6 million of total unrecognized compensation related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.65 years. The total fair value of share-based awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $11.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from vested share-based awards was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there was no excess tax benefit due to the net operating loss carryforwards (NOL). If there was no NOL, the excess tax benefit would have been $1.5 million.
Stock Option Awards
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Basic is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those options expected to vest. Options granted under the Plan expire 10 years from the date they are granted, and generally vest over a three- to five-year service period.
The following table reflects the summary of stock options outstanding at March 31, 2012 and the changes during the three months then ended:

The total intrinsic value of share options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $130,000 and $2.7 million, respectively.
Cash received from share option exercises under the Plan was approximately $70,000 and $950,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from options exercised was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there was no excess tax benefit due to the NOL. If there was no NOL, the excess tax benefit would have been $26,000.
Basic has a history of issuing treasury and newly issued shares to satisfy share option exercises.
Restricted Stock Awards
On March 8, 2012, the Compensation Committee of Basics Board of Directors approved grants of performance-based stock awards to certain members of management. The performance-based awards are tied to Basics achievement of total stockholder return over the performance period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, as compared to other members of a defined peer group. The number of shares to be issued will range from 0% to 150% of the 190,126 target number of shares depending on the performance noted above. Any shares earned at the end of the performance period will then remain subject to vesting over a three-year period, with the first shares vesting March 15, 2014. As of March 31, 2012, Basic estimated that 58% of the target number of performance-based awards will be earned.

9. Related Party Transactions
Basic had receivables from employees of approximately $73,000 and $65,000 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. During 2006, Basic entered into a lease agreement with Darle Vuelta Cattle Co., LLC, an affiliate of the Chief Executive Officer, for approximately $69,000. The term of the lease is five years and will continue on a year-to-year basis unless terminated by either party. In December 2010, Basic entered into a lease agreement with Darle Vuelta Cattle Co., LLC, for the right to operate a salt water disposal well, brine well and fresh water well. The term of the lease is two years and will continue until the salt water disposal well and brine well are plugged and no fresh water is being sold. The lease payments are the greater of the sum of $0.10 per barrel of disposed oil and gas waste and $0.05 per barrel of brine or fresh water sold, or $5,000 per month.
10. Earnings Per Share
Basics basic earnings per common share are determined by dividing net earnings applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the increased number of shares that would be outstanding assuming conversion of dilutive outstanding securities using the as if converted method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except share data):

11. Business Segment Information
Basics reportable business segments are Completion and Remedial Services, Fluid Services, Well Servicing, and Contract Drilling. The following is a description of the segments:
Completion and Remedial Services: This segment utilizes a fleet of pressure pumping units, air compressor packages specially configured for underbalanced drilling operations, coiled tubing services, nitrogen services, water treatment, cased-hole wireline units, an array of specialized rental equipment and fishing tools, thru-tubing and snubbing units. The largest portion of this business consists of pumping services focused on cementing, acidizing and fracturing services in niche markets.
Fluid Services: This segment utilizes a fleet of trucks and related assets, including specialized tank trucks, storage tanks, water wells, disposal facilities, construction and other related equipment. Basic employs these assets to provide, transport, store and dispose of a variety of fluids, as well as provide well site construction and maintenance services. These services are required in most workover, completion and remedial projects and are routinely used in daily producing well operations.
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 well bore to facilitate the flow of oil and natural gas. These services are performed to establish, maintain and improve production throughout the productive life of an oil and natural gas well and to plug and abandon a well at the end of its productive life. Well servicing equipment and capabilities such as Basics are essential to facilitate most other services performed on a well. This segment also includes the manufacturing, refurbishment and servicing of mobile well servicing rigs and associated equipment.
Contract Drilling: This segment utilizes drilling rigs and associated equipment for drilling wells to a specified depth for customers on a contract basis.
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.

13. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (an exit price) at the measurement date. Fair value is a market based measurement considered from the perspective of a market participant. Basic uses market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or unobservable. If observable prices or inputs are not available, unobservable prices or inputs are used to estimate the current fair value, often using an internal valuation model. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the item being valued. Basic primarily applies a market approach for recurring fair value measurements using the best available information while utilizing valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
There is a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Basic classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Basic has the ability to access. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2Inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable. These inputs are either directly observable in the marketplace or indirectly observable through corroboration with market data for substantially the full contractual term of the asset or liability being measured.
Level 3Inputs reflect managements best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
In valuing certain assets and liabilities, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety in the fair value hierarchy level based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. Basics assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Basics asset retirement obligation related to its 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, is measured using primarily Level 3 inputs. The significant unobservable inputs to this fair value measurement include estimates of plugging, abandonment and remediation costs, inflation rate and well life. The inputs are calculated based on historical data as well as current estimated costs. The fair value is calculated by taking the present value of the expected cash flow at the time of the closure of the site. The following table reflects the changes in the fair value of the liability during the three months ended March 31, 2012 (in thousands):

14. Subsequent Events
On April 5, 2012, Basic entered into an amendment to its existing secured revolving credit facility that, among other things, increased the available credit thereunder from $225.0 million to $250.0 million. Additionally, certain covenants were changed, increasing the allowable amount of capital expenditures by the Company, assuming certain financial ratios are met.
In April 2012, Basic purchased approximately 22 acres of land for approximately $215,000 from Darle Vuelta Cattle Co., LLC, an affiliate of the Chief Executive Officer.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We provide a wide range of well site services to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies, including completion and remedial services, fluid services and well site construction services, well servicing and contract drilling. Our results of operations reflect the impact of our acquisition strategy as a leading consolidator in the domestic land-based well services industry. Our acquisitions have increased our breadth of service offerings at the well site and expanded our market presence. In implementing our acquisition strategy, we purchased businesses and assets in six separate acquisitions from January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012. Our total hydraulic horsepower increased from 142,000 at December 31, 2010 to 276,000 at March 31, 2012. Our weighted average number of fluid service trucks increased from 820 in the first quarter of 2011 to 900 in the first quarter of 2012. Our weighted average number of well servicing rigs increased from 412 in the first quarter of 2011 to 423 in the first quarter of 2012. These acquisitions make our revenues, expenses and income not directly comparable between periods.
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 natural gas in the United States. Industry conditions are influenced by numerous factors, such as the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, domestic and worldwide economic conditions, political instability in oil producing countries and merger and divestiture activity among oil and natural gas producers. The volatility of the oil and natural gas industry, and the consequent impact on exploration and production activity, has adversely impacted, and could continue to 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 the first half of 2009, utilization and pricing for our services declined due to low oil and natural gas prices. In the third quarter of 2009, oil prices began to increase and remained relatively stable through 2010. During the first half of 2011, oil prices increased primarily due to political instability in several oil producing countries. In the last half of 2011 and through the first quarter of 2012, oil prices have remained relatively stable. The trend in oil prices since 2009 has caused utilization and pricing for our services to increase in our oil-based operating areas. Utilization and pricing for our services in our natural gas-based operating areas throughout 2011 and during the first three months of 2012 have remained depressed due to low natural gas prices.
We expect that our utilization levels across all of our business segments, except in our completion and remedial services segment for our frac pumping service line, should remain stable through the remainder of 2012 as demand continues to remain strong, particularly in our established oil-oriented market areas. We anticipate activity in natural gas-oriented markets to remain at depressed levels due to low natural gas prices through 2012. We believe that pricing for our frac pumping services could decline by up to 10% to 15% in the second half of 2012 due to competitors relocating equipment from the slow gas markets into the busier oil oriented markets.
We derive a significant portion of our revenues from services supporting production from existing oil and natural gas operations. Demand for these production-related services, including well servicing and fluid services, tends to remain relatively stable, even in moderate oil and natural gas price environments, as ongoing maintenance spending is required to sustain production. As oil and natural gas prices fluctuate, demand for all of our services changes correspondingly as our customers must balance maintenance and capital expenditures against their available cash flows. 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 natural gas prices increase or decrease.

Table of Contents
Our customers are currently pursuing aggressive drilling and production programs in our oil and liquid rich markets. As new equipment has come on line and as equipment is shifted from natural gas rich areas to oil rich areas there has been increased price competition for our services, primarily in our pumping and completion services.
We believe that the most important performance measures for our lines of business are as follows:
| Completion and Remedial Services segment profits as a percent of revenues; |
| Fluid Services trucking hours, revenue per truck, segment profits per truck and segment profits as a percent of revenues; |
| Well Servicing rig hours, rig utilization rate, revenue per rig hour, profits per rig hour and segment profits as a percent of revenues; and |
| Contract Drilling rig operating days, revenue per drilling day, profits per drilling day and segment profits as a percent of revenues. |
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 will continue to evaluate opportunities to expand our business through selective acquisitions and internal growth initiatives, such as our recent acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of Maverick Stimulation Company, LLC, Maverick Coil Tubing Services, LLC, Maverick Thru-Tubing Services, LLC, Maverick Solutions, LLC, The Maverick Companies, LLC, MCM Holdings, LLC, and MSM Leasing, LLC (collectively the Maverick Companies) in July 2011. Our capital investment decisions are determined by an analysis of the projected return on capital employed for 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 natural 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.
Selected Acquisitions
During 2011, we made four acquisitions that complemented our existing business segments. These included, among others:
The Maverick Companies
On July 8, 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of the Maverick Companies for total cash consideration of $186.3 million including working capital. This acquisition operates in our completion and remedial services segment.
During the first three months of 2012, we made two acquisitions that complemented our existing business segments including:
SPA Victoria LP
On March 16, 2012, we acquired all of the assets of SPA Victoria LP for total cash consideration of $12.0 million including accounts receivable. This acquisition operates in our well servicing segment.
Completion and Remedial Services
During the first three months of 2012, our completion and remedial services segment represented 44% of our revenues. Revenues from our completion and remedial services segment are generally derived from a variety of services designed to complete and stimulate new oil and natural gas production or place cement slurry within the wellbores. Our completion and remedial services segment includes pumping services, rental and fishing tool operations, coiled tubing services, nitrogen services, cased-hole wireline services, snubbing, water treatment and underbalanced drilling.

Our pumping services concentrate on providing single truck, lower-horsepower cementing, acidizing and fracturing services in selected markets. Our total hydraulic horsepower capacity for our pressure pumping operations was 276,000 and 174,000 at March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively.
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.
The following is an analysis of our completion and remedial services segment for each of the quarters in 2011, the full year ended December 31, 2011 and the quarter ended March 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

We gauge the performance of our completion and remedial services segment based on the segments operating revenues and segment profits as a percent of revenues.
The increase in completion and remedial services revenue to $164.4 million in the first quarter of 2012 from $160.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 resulted primarily from increased revenue from our pumping services, nitrogen services, and rental and fishing tool operations. The decrease in segment profits as a percentage of revenue from 45% in the fourth quarter of 2011 to 41% in the first quarter of 2012 was due to increased personnel costs and payroll taxes and the increased cost of raw materials and other costs for pumping services.
Fluid Services
During the first three months of 2012, our fluid services segment represented 26% 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 natural gas wells. Revenues also include well site construction and maintenance services. 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 natural 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. 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. Revenues from our well site construction services 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 natural gas facilities. We typically price fluid services by the job, by the hour or by the quantities sold, disposed of or hauled.

We gauge activity levels in our fluid services segment based on trucking hours, revenue and segment profits per fluid service truck, and segment profits as a percent of revenues.
Revenue per fluid service truck increased by 2% to $106,000 in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $104,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011, primarily due to continued strong activity in oil-oriented areas and increased proceeds from the sale of skim oil. Segment profit percentage decreased to 34% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 37% for the fourth quarter of 2011, primarily due to increased personnel related costs.
Well Servicing
During the first three months of 2012, our well servicing segment represented 26% of our revenues. Revenue in our well servicing segment is derived from maintenance, workover, completion, manufacturing and plugging and abandonment services. We provide maintenance-related services as part of the normal, periodic upkeep of producing oil and natural 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 also have a rig manufacturing and servicing facility that builds new workover rigs, performs large-scale refurbishments of used workover rigs and provides maintenance services on previously manufactured rigs.
We typically charge our well servicing rig 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 the activity levels of our well servicing rigs on a weekly basis by calculating a rig utilization rate based on a 55-hour work week per rig. Our fleet increased from a weighted average number of 412 rigs in the first quarter of 2011 to 423 in the first quarter of 2012.

Revenue per rig hour and profits per rig hour in the table above do not include revenues and profits from the rig manufacturing and maintenance division of this business segment.
Rig utilization increased to 76.5% in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 72.8% in the fourth quarter of 2011. Higher utilization resulted from increased rig hours due to strong oil prices that enabled our customers to maintain their spending programs. Our segment profit percentage decreased to 30% during the first quarter of 2012 from 33% during the fourth quarter of 2011 due to higher personnel costs and payroll taxes.

Contract Drilling
During the first three months of 2012, our contract drilling segment represented 4% of our revenues. Revenues from our contract drilling segment are derived primarily from the drilling of new wells.
Within this segment, we typically charge our drilling rig customers at a daywork daily rate, or footage at an established rate per number of feet drilled. We measure the activity level of our drilling rigs on a weekly basis by calculating a rig utilization rate based on a seven-day work week per rig. Our contract drilling rig fleet had a weighted average of twelve rigs during the first quarter of 2012 compared to a weighted average of six rigs in the first quarter of 2011, due to the purchase of four drilling rigs.

We gauge activity levels in our drilling operations based on rig operating days, revenue per drilling day, profits per drilling day and segment profits as a percent of revenues.
The increase in revenue per day to $15,800 in the first quarter of 2012 from $14,700 in the fourth quarter of 2011 was due primarily to the addition of two 1,200 hhp drilling rigs in the first quarter. Segment profit percentage decreased slightly to 33% in the first quarter of 2012 from 34% in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to costs related to bringing the two new rigs into service.
Our operating costs are comprised primarily of labor, including workers compensation and health insurance, repair and maintenance, fuel and insurance. The majority of our employees are paid on an hourly basis. 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 unaudited 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 our critical accounting policies is included in note 2 of the notes to our historical audited consolidated financial statements in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. The following is a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified below certain accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and that 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 expenses as incurred. We also review the capitalization of refurbishment of workover rigs as described in note 2 of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Impairments. We review our assets for impairment at least 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, general liability claims, 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, general liability claims, and medical and dental coverage of $750,000, $750,000 and $250,000, respectively. We have lower deductibles per occurrence for automobile liability. We maintain accruals in our consolidated balance sheets related to self-insurance retentions based upon third-party actuarial data and 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 recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities 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 the industry or changes in regulations governing the industry.
32
Table of Contents
Impairment of Property and Equipment. Our analysis for potential 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 the industry or changes in regulations governing the industry.
Impairment of Goodwill. Our goodwill is considered to have an indefinite useful economic life and is not amortized. We assess impairment of our goodwill annually as of December 31 or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset has decreased below its carrying value. A qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value is allowed but not required. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step impairment test is performed. In the two-step test, 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.
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 our significant customers and (2) a decline in commodity prices that could affect our entire customer base.
Litigation and Self-Insured Risk Reserves. We estimate our reserves related to litigation and self-insured 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 litigation and self-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 based upon third-party actuarial 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 the 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. We test annually for impairment of 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 an 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. Our stock-based awards consist of stock options and restricted stock. Stock options have not been issued since 2007 but are valued on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and restricted stock issued is valued based on the fair value of our common stock at the grant date. All stock-based awards are adjusted for an expected forfeiture rate and amortized over the vesting period.
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 substantial 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. We record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which we incur a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and 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.

The following is a comparison of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. For additional segment-related information and trends, please read Segment Overview above.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
Revenues. Revenues increased by 51% to $370.9 million during the first quarter of 2012 from $246.1 million during the same period in 2011. This increase was primarily due to increased demand by our customers for our services, which resulted from higher commodity prices and drilling and well maintenance activity among our customers. Our acquisitions at the end of 2011 and during the first three months of 2012 also increased our revenues, with the Maverick Companies acquisition adding approximately $34.9 million in revenue during the first quarter of 2012.
Completion and remedial services revenues increased by 69% to $164.4 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $97.5 million in the same period in 2011. The increase in revenue between these periods was primarily due to the addition of new equipment, through both acquisitions and capital expenditures, improved utilization of equipment, resulting from higher drilling and completion activity, and improved pricing for our services. The Maverick Companies acquisition in the third quarter of 2011 also added approximately $34.9 million in revenue. Total hydraulic horsepower increased to 276,000 at March 31, 2012 from 174,000 at March 31, 2011, primarily due to the acquisition of the Maverick Companies in the third quarter of 2011.
Fluid services revenues increased by 32% to $95.3 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $72.3 million in the same period in 2011. Our revenue per fluid service truck increased 20% to $106,000 in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $88,000 in the same period in 2011, which reflects the expansion of our truck and frac tank fleets and increases in both utilization and pricing for our services. Our weighted average number of fluid service trucks increased 10% to 900 during the first quarter of 2012 from 820 in the same period in 2011.
Well servicing revenues increased by 39% to $95.9 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $69.1 million during the same period in 2011. The higher revenues were due to the 25% increase in rig hours to 231,300 during the first quarter of 2012 from 184,700 during the first quarter of 2011. This segment also experienced an increase in revenue per rig hour to $393 during the first quarter of 2012 from $356 during the first quarter of 2011. Our average number of well servicing rigs increased to 423 during the first quarter of 2012 compared to 412 in the same period in 2011, primarily due to the acquisition of Pats P&A, Inc. in the third quarter of 2011 and Mayo Marrs Casing in the first quarter of 2012.
Contract drilling revenues increased by 115% to $15.3 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $7.1 million in the same period in 2011. The number of rig operating days increased 85% to 967 in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 522 in the first quarter of 2011. The increase in revenue and rig operating days were due to the addition of four drilling rigs in the first half of 2011 and two drilling rigs in the first quarter of 2012 and an increase in new well starts in the Permian Basin, a region in which all of our drilling rigs operate, along with higher dayrates.
Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses, which primarily consist of labor, including workers compensation and health insurance, repair and maintenance, fuel and insurance, increased by 52% to $237.3 million during the first quarter of 2012 from $156.1 million in the same period in 2011. This increase was primarily due to increased activity in each of our four business segments.
Direct operating expenses for the completion and remedial services segment increased by 77% to $97.0 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $54.9 million for the same period in 2011 due primarily to personnel and other costs associated with additional equipment and increased activity levels overall, especially in our pumping services line. Segment profits decreased to 41% of revenues during the first quarter of 2012 compared to 44% for the same period in 2011, due to higher material and fuel costs.
Direct operating expenses for the fluid services segment increased by 30% to $62.8 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $48.2 million for the same period in 2011, mainly due to personnel and other costs associated with increased activity levels. Segment profits were 34% of revenues during the first quarter of 2012 compared to 33% for the same period in 2011 due to improved pricing and utilization of our services.

Table of Contents
Direct operating expenses for the well servicing segment increased by 39% to $67.3 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $48.4 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in direct operating expenses was due to increased activity along with increased payroll, insurance and incentive compensation costs. Segment profits were 30% of revenues for both the first quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2011.
Direct operating expenses for the contract drilling segment increased by 126% to $10.2 million during the first quarter of 2012 from $4.5 million for the same period in 2011. Segment profits for this segment decreased to 33% of revenues during the first quarter of 2012 compared to 36% for the same period in 2011, due to the increased costs to bring new rigs into service.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 32% to $41.4 million during the first quarter of 2012 from $31.3 million for the same period in 2011, due mainly to increased personnel costs, including incentive compensation, and increased costs from the Maverick Companies acquisition in the third quarter of 2011, as well as other acquisitions completed during 2011. General and administrative expenses included $2.2 million and $1.7 million of stock-based compensation expense during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $44.0 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $33.0 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in depreciation expense was due to the increased investment in our property and equipment over the past year through internal growth and through the six acquisitions completed since March 31, 2011.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $15.2 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $11.3 million during the first quarter of 2011. The increased expense was due to the issuance of an aggregate of $475.0 million of 7.75% senior notes in 2011.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on early extinguishment of debt was $49.4 million in the first quarter of 2011 due to the retirement of the Senior Secured Notes in February 2011.
Income Tax Expense. There was income tax expense of $11.8 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to an income tax benefit of $14.7 million for the same period in 2011. Our effective tax rate during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 was approximately 38% and 44%, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to an increased tax effect related to the early tender of our 11.625% Senior Secured Notes in February 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2012, our primary capital resources were net cash flows from our operations, utilization of capital leases and our $225.0 million revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2012, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $67.2 million compared to $78.5 million as of December 31, 2011. When appropriate, we will consider public or private debt and equity offerings and non-recourse transactions to meet our liquidity needs.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $65.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $21.0 million during the same period in 2011. Operating cash flow in the first three months of 2012 was higher mainly due to the increase in profitability resulting from higher revenues offset by the increase in accounts receivable.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures are the main component of our investing activities. Cash capital expenditures (including acquisitions) during the first three months of 2012 were $65.4 million compared to $72.4 million in the same period of 2011. We added $8.3 million of additional assets through our capital lease program during the first three months of 2012 compared to $12.2 million of additional assets in the same period in 2011.
For 2012, we plan to spend $175 million to $200 million for capital expenditures. Based on our view of short-term operating conditions, our capital expenditure program may be increased or decreased accordingly. The foregoing budget excludes acquisitions of other businesses. We do not budget acquisitions in the normal course of business, and we regularly engage in discussions related to potential acquisitions related to the well services industry.
Capital Resources and Financing
We currently believe that our operating cash flows, available funds from our revolving credit facility, and cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our near term liquidity requirements.
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 and declines in capital and debt markets.
7.125% Senior Notes due 2016
In April 2006, we completed a private offering of $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Notes due April 15, 2016 (the 7.125% Senior Notes). The 7.125% Senior Notes were jointly and severally guaranteed by each of our restricted subsidiaries (currently all of our subsidiaries other than three immaterial subsidiaries). As of March 31, 2012, these three subsidiaries held no assets and performed no operations.
We issued the 7.125% Senior Notes pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 12, 2006, by and among us, the guarantor parties thereto and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the 7.125% Senior Notes Indenture).
Interest on the 7.125% Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 7.125% per year. Interest on the 7.125% Senior Notes is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The 7.125% Senior Notes mature on April 15, 2016. The 7.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are unsecured and rank equally with all of our and the guarantors existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The 7.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees rank senior in right of payment to any of our and the guarantors existing and future obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 7.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees. The 7.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to our and the guarantors secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations.
The 7.125% Senior Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to:
| incur additional indebtedness; |
36
Table of Contents
| 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. As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with the restrictive covenants under the 7.125% Senior Notes Indenture.
Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the 7.125% Senior Notes Indenture), the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 7.125% Senior Notes then outstanding may declare all of the amounts outstanding under the 7.125% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately.
We may, at our option, redeem all or part of the 7.125% Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a premium declining ratably to par and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
Following a change of control, as defined in the 7.125% Senior Notes Indenture, we 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 their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
7.75% Senior Notes due 2019
On February 15, 2011, we issued $275.0 million of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the 7.75% Senior Notes). On June 13, 2011, we issued an additional $200.0 million of 7.75% Senior Notes. The 7.75% Senior Notes are jointly and severally, and unconditionally, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis initially by all of our current subsidiaries other than three immaterial subsidiaries. The 7.75% Senior Notes and the guarantees rank (i) equally in right of payment with any of our and the subsidiary guarantors existing and future senior indebtedness, including our existing 7.125% Senior Notes and the related guarantees, and (ii) effectively junior to all existing or future liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 7.75% Senior Notes and to our and the subsidiary guarantors existing or future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral therefor.
The 7.75% Senior Notes and the guarantees were offered and sold in private transactions in accordance with Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The purchase price for the $275.0 million of 7.75% Senior Notes and guarantees issued on February 15, 2011 was 100.000% of their principal amount, and the purchase price for the $200.0 million of 7.75% Senior Notes and guarantees issued on June 13, 2011 was 101.000%, plus accrued interest from February 15, 2011. We received net proceeds from the issuance of the 7.75% Senior Notes of approximately $464.6 million after premiums and offering expenses. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the February offering to fund our tender offer and consent solicitation for our Senior Secured Notes and to redeem the Senior Secured Notes not purchased in the tender offer. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the June offering to fund the $186.3 million purchase price for the Maverick Companies acquisition completed in July 2011 and for general corporate purposes.
The 7.75% Senior Notes and the guarantees were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 15, 2011 (the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture), by and among us, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee. Interest on the 7.75% Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 7.75% per year. Interest on the 7.75% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 7.75% Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2019.
The 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to:
| incur additional indebtedness; |
| pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock; |
37
Table of Contents
| make certain investments; |
| incur liens; |
| enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; |
| limit dividends or other payments by our restricted subsidiaries to us; and |
| sell assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies. |
These and other covenants that are contained in the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with the restrictive covenants under the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture.
Additionally, during any period of time that the 7.75% Senior Notes have a Moodys rating of Baa3 or higher or an Standard & Poors rating of BBB- or higher and no default has occurred and is then continuing, certain of the restrictive covenants contained in the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture will cease to apply.
We may, at our option, redeem all or part of the 7.75% Senior Notes, at any time on or after February 15, 2015, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a premium declining ratably to par and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
At any time before February 15, 2014, we, at our option, may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7.75% Senior Notes issued under the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture with the net cash proceeds of one or more qualified equity offerings at a redemption price of 107.750% of the principal amount of the 7.75% Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, as long as:
| at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7.75% Senior Notes issued under the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and |
| such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of any such qualified equity offering. |
In addition, at any time before February 15, 2015, we may redeem some or all of 7.75% Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 7.75% Senior Notes, plus an applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
Following a change of control, as defined in the 7.75% Senior Notes Indenture, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or a portion of the 7.75% Senior Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
Revolving Credit Facility
On February 15, 2011, in connection with the initial offering of 7.75% Senior Notes, we terminated our previous $30.0 million secured revolving credit facility with Capital One, National Association, and entered into a new $165.0 million revolving credit facility (the Credit Agreement) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Capital One, National Association, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature whereby the total credit available to us can be increased by up to $100.0 million under certain circumstances, subject to additional lender commitments. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each of our current subsidiaries, other than three immaterial subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantors assets as collateral under a related Security Agreement (the Security Agreement). As of March 31, 2012, the non-guarantor subsidiaries held no assets and performed no operations. On July 15, 2011, we exercised the accordion feature and amended the Credit Agreement to increase our total credit available from $165.0 million to $225.0 million. On April 5, 2012, we entered into another amendment to the Credit Agreement that, among other things, increased the available credit thereunder from $225.0 million to $250.0 million.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement mature on January 15, 2016, and we have the ability at any time to prepay the Credit Agreement without premium or penalty. At our option, advances under the Credit Agreement may be comprised of (i) alternate base rate loans, at a variable base interest rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% based on our leverage ratio or (ii) Eurodollar loans, at a variable base interest rate plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.25% based on our leverage ratio. We will pay a commitment fee equal to 0.50% on the daily unused amount of the commitments under the Credit Agreement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive income. This statement is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update will be applied retrospectively. Basic currently does not have any items of other comprehensive income and therefore does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (ASU 2011-08). ASU 2011-08 allows a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting units fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit would be performed. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. Basic adopted this accounting standard update early, and although it has changed the process Basic uses to determine if goodwill is impaired, it has not had a material impact on Basics consolidated financial statements.
Impact of Inflation on Operations
Management is of the opinion that inflation has not had a significant impact on our business.
