GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RPC, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“RPC” or the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which consisted of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. For the first quarter of 2006, interest income,net was reclassified to interest expense and interest income.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

RPC’s revenues are generated from product sales, equipment rentals and services. Revenues from product sales, equipment rentals and services are based on fixed or determinable priced purchase orders or contracts with the customer and do not include the right of return. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when title passes to the customer, the customer assumes risks and rewards of ownership, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Equipment service revenues and related rental revenues are recognized when the services are rendered and collectibility is reasonably assured. Rates for services and rentals are priced on a per day, per unit of measure, per man hour or similar basis.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” requires a basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share presentation. The two calculations differ as a result of the dilutive effect of stock options and time lapse restricted shares and performance restricted shares included in diluted earnings per share, but excluded from basic earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The recent accounting pronouncements previously reported on the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 is incorporated herein by reference. As disclosed on the 10-K, the Company adopted the following standards in the first quarter of 2007 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operation and financial condition:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”

SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”

Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation)”

The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” in the first quarter of 2008 and believes that the adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operation and financial condition.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” to permit an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions in SFAS No. 159 are elective; however the amendment to SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. The fair value option permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. The fair value option may be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, is irrevocable and is to be applied to entire instruments and not portions thereof. The Company will adopt SFAS 159 in fiscal year 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of applying these provisions.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ” ( “ FIN 48 ” ), which provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, and has analyzed filing positions in federal, state and foreign filing jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open years in those jurisdictions. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an immaterial adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. As of the adoption date, the Company had gross tax affected unrecognized tax benefits of $922,000, of which $850,000, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. There have been no material changes to these amounts during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. In many cases our uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain open and subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. For Federal and state purposes, the Company’s 2003 through 2006 tax years remain open to examination.

Baring an unforeseen event, the Company does not anticipate a material change in the unrecognized tax benefit in the next 12 months.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties were immaterial as of January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2007.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company reserved 5,062,500 shares of common stock under the 2004 Plan which expires ten years from the date of approval.

There were no recognized excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, since all of the stock options exercised were incentive stock options which do not generate tax deductions for the Company.

Restricted Stock

The following is a summary of the changes in non-vested restricted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2007:

	Shares			Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value

Other Information

As of March 31, 2007, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted shares was $16,832,000 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.0 years. As of March 31, 2007, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $350,000 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years.

7. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

RPC’s service lines have been aggregated into two reportable oil and gas services segments, Technical Services and Support Services, because of the similarities between the financial performance and approach to managing the service lines within each of the segments, as well as the economic and business conditions impacting their business activity levels. The other business segment includes information concerning RPC’s business units that do not qualify for separate segment reporting. Corporate includes selected administrative costs incurred by the Company that are not allocated to business units. Gains or losses on disposition of assets are reviewed by the Company’s chief decision maker on a consolidated basis, and accordingly the Company does not report gains or losses at the segment level.

Technical Services include RPC’s oil and gas service lines that utilize people and equipment to perform value-added completion, production and maintenance services directly to a customer’s well. These services include pressure pumping services, snubbing, coiled tubing, nitrogen pumping, well control consulting and firefighting, down-hole tools, wireline, and fluid pumping. These Technical Services are primarily used in the completion, production and maintenance of oil and gas wells. The principal markets for this segment include the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, the mid-continent, southwest and Rocky Mountain regions, and international locations including primarily Africa, Canada, China, Latin America and the Middle East. Customers include major multi-national and independent oil and gas producers, and selected nationally-owned oil companies.

Support Services include RPC’s oil and gas service lines that primarily provide equipment for customer use or services to assist customer operations. The equipment and services include drill pipe and related tools, pipe handling, inspection and storage services and oilfield training services. The demand for these services tends to be influenced primarily by customer drilling-related activity levels. The principal markets for this segment include the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico and the mid-continent regions, and international locations, including primarily Canada, Latin America, and the Middle East. Customers include domestic operations of major multi-national and independent oil and gas producers, and selected nationally-owned oil companies.

10. NOTES PAYABLE TO BANKS

The Company currently has a revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement") with SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc, as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager, Banc of America Securities LLC as Joint Lead Arranger, and a syndicate of other lenders. The Revolving Credit Agreement includes a full and unconditional guarantee by RPC's 100% owned domestic subsidiaries whose assets equal substantially all of the consolidated assets of RPC and its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries of the Company that are not guarantors are considered minor.

The Revolving Credit Agreement has a general term of five years and provides for an unsecured line of credit of up to $250 million, which includes a $50 million letter of credit subfacility, and a $20 million swingline subfacility. Under certain circumstances, the line of credit may be increased by an additional amount of up to $50 million. The maturity date of all revolving loans under the Credit Agreement is September 8, 2011, although RPC may request two one-year extensions of the maturity date at the first and second anniversaries of the closing of the revolving credit agreement. The Company incurred loan origination fees and other debt related costs associated with the line of credit of approximately $469,000. These costs are being amortized over the five year term of the loan, and the net amount is classified as non current other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at one of the following two rates, at RPC's election:

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

the Base Rate, which is the greater of SunTrust Bank's "prime rate" for the day of the borrowing and a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus .50%; or

with respect to any Eurodollar borrowings, Adjusted LIBOR (which equals LIBOR as increased to account for the maximum reserve percentages established by the U.S. Federal Reserve) plus a margin ranging from .40% to .80%, based upon RPC's then-current consolidated debt-to-EBITDA ratio. In addition, RPC will pay an annual fee ranging from .10% to .20% of the total credit facility based upon RPC's then-current consolidated debt-to-EBITDA ratio.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including certain financial covenants including covenants restricting RPC's ability to incur liens, merge or consolidate with another entity. Further, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains financial covenants restricting RPC's ability to permit the ratio of RPC's consolidated debt to EBITDA to exceed 2.5 to 1, and to permit the ratio of RPC's consolidated EBIT to interest expense to exceed 2 to 1.

As of March 31, 2007, RPC has outstanding borrowings of $79.5 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.29% under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Additionally there were letters of credit relating to self-insurance programs and contract bids outstanding for $17.3 million.

11. INCOME TAXES

The Company determines its periodic income tax expense based upon the current period income and the annual estimated tax rate for the Company adjusted for any change to prior period estimates. The estimated tax rate is revised, if necessary, as of the end of each successive interim period during the fiscal year to the Company's current annual estimated tax rate.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document. See also “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 21.

RPC, Inc. (“RPC”) provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services primarily to independent and major oilfield companies engaged in exploration, production and development of oil and gas properties throughout the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, mid-continent, southwest and Rocky Mountain regions, and selected international locations. The Company’s revenues and profits are generated by providing equipment and services to customers who operate oil and gas properties and invest capital to drill new wells and enhance production or perform maintenance on existing wells. We continuously monitor factors that impact the level of current and expected customer activity levels, such as the price of oil and natural gas, changes in pricing for our services and equipment, and utilization of our equipment and personnel. Our financial results are affected by geopolitical factors such as political instability in the petroleum-producing regions of the world, overall economic conditions and weather in the United States, the prices of oil and natural gas, and our customers’ drilling and production activities.

The discussion of our key business and financial strategies set forth under the Overview section in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 is incorporated herein by reference. Since year-end, the Company's operational strategies have not changed.

During the first quarter of 2007, revenues increased 25.7 percent to $171.0 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The growth in revenues resulted from capacity additions made during the past year, continued high activity levels and pricing for our equipment and services. The increase in prices is partially attributable to the issuance of new price books for portions of our business during the first and third quarters of 2006. International revenues for the first quarter of 2007 increased due to higher customer activity levels in Hungary, Turkmenistan and Cameroon. We continue to focus on developing international growth opportunities; however, it is difficult to predict when contracts and projects will be initiated and their ultimate duration.

Income before income taxes was $44.1 million during the first quarter of 2007 compared to $39.9 million in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was 36.5 percent compared to 37.6 percent in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.29 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $0.25 in the prior year. Cash flows from operating activities were $24.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $22.3 million for the same period in the prior year, and cash and cash equivalents were $4.0 million at March 31, 2007, an increase of $1.3 million compared to December 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2007, there was $79.5 million in outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Cost of services rendered and goods sold as a percentage of revenues increased almost three percentage points in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. This increase was due primarily to inefficiencies caused by delays in vendor deliveries of equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased by 0.4 percentage points, which was due to the leverage of these costs over higher revenues partially offset by an increase in field administrative personnel consistent with higher activity levels, and increased incentive compensation.

Consistent with our strategy to selectively grow our capacity and maintain our existing fleet of high demand equipment, capital expenditures were $63.7 million in the first quarter of 2007. Although we currently expect capital expenditures to be approximately $275 million during 2007, the total amount of expenditures for the year will depend primarily on equipment maintenance requirements and the ultimate delivery dates for equipment on order. We expect these expenditures to be primarily directed toward our larger, core service lines including primarily pressure pumping, but also hydraulic workover, coiled tubing, nitrogen, and rental tools.

Outlook

Drilling activity in the U.S. domestic oilfields, as measured by the rotary drilling rig count, has been stable or gradually increasing for several years, and the overall domestic rig count during the first quarter of 2007 was approximately 14.0 percent higher than in the comparable period in 2006. The average price of oil decreased by approximately 8.3 percent and the average price of natural gas decreased by more than 6.2 percent during the first quarter compared to the prior year. While the overall drilling rig count has increased, drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico has been weak. The Company has responded to these trends by emphasizing investments in more robust domestic markets and making only selective investments in the Gulf of Mexico market. In spite of recent strong industry conditions, the Company understands that factors influencing the industry are unpredictable. The Company is monitoring recent declines in oil and natural gas prices for any signs of weakness in domestic customer activity levels. Our response to the industry's potential uncertainty is to maintain sufficient liquidity and a conservative capital structure. Although we have recently decided to expand our bank credit facility to finance our expansion, we will still maintain a conservative financial structure. Based on current industry conditions and trends during the three months ended March 31, 2007, we expect consolidated revenues for 2007 to be substantially higher than 2006.

The high activity levels in the domestic oilfield have increased demand for equipment from the manufacturers of equipment and components used in the Company's business. This increased demand has increased the lead times for ordering and delivery of such equipment and components. If this increased demand and resulting delays in delivery continues, it could constrain the Company's ability to expand its capacity, which would negatively impact the Company's future financial results.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased 25.7 percent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. Domestic revenues increased 24.4 percent to $160.4 million during the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increases in revenues are due primarily to increased capacity driven by equipment purchased under our long-term growth plan as well as improved pricing and continued high activity levels. The increase in pricing is mostly attributed to price book adjustments effective during the first and third quarters of 2006 and higher customer demand for our services. International revenues increased from $7.1 million to $10.6 million compared to the prior year quarter. Revenue increases were realized due to higher customer activity levels in Hungary, Turkmenistan and Cameroon. Our international revenues are impacted by the timing of project initiation and their ultimate duration.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The average price of natural gas decreased by approximately six percent and the average price of oil decreased approximately eight percent during the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the prior year. In spite of the decrease in the price of natural gas, the average domestic rig count during the quarter was 14 percent higher than the same period in 2006. This increase in drilling activity had a positive impact on our financial results. We believe that our activity levels are affected more by the price of natural gas than by the price of oil, because the majority of U.S. domestic drilling activity relates to natural gas, and many of our services are more appropriate for gas wells than oil wells.

The Technical Services segment revenues for the quarter increased 24.0 percent compared to the first quarter of last year. Revenues in this segment increased due primarily to improved pricing and higher capacity through increased capital expenditures especially in the pressure pumping service line. The Support Services segment revenues for the quarter increased 35.2 percent compared to the first quarter of prior year. This improvement was due to increased capacity driven by higher capital expenditures, increased utilization and improved pricing driven by higher customer demand in the rental tool service line, the largest within this segment. Operating profit in the Technical Services segment declined, despite the increase in revenues, due to higher personnel expenses and other infrastructure costs which were incurred in anticipation of more timely equipment deliveries and increased depreciation expense. Operating profit in the Support Services segment increased due to the increase in revenues. As a percentage of revenues, operating profit also increased due to improved pricing and operational leverage in the rental tool service line, which has high fixed costs.

Cost of services rendered and goods sold. Cost of services rendered and goods sold increased 33.1 percent due to the variable nature of many of these expenses, including compensation, equipment rental expense, maintenance and repair expenses, materials and supplies expenses, increases in fuel costs and increased expenses associated with RPC’s long-term growth plan. Cost of services rendered and goods sold, as a percent of revenues, increased in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. This increase was due to operational inefficiencies and lower personnel utilization as a result of delays in vendor deliveries of equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased 22.5 percent to $25.8 million compared to $21.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to compensation costs consistent with higher activity levels and the implementation of our long-term growth plan. However, these costs as a percent of revenues decreased in comparison to the same period of the prior year due to the fixed nature of many of these expenses.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization totaled $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a 42.6 percent increase, compared to $10.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. This increase in depreciation and amortization resulted from a higher level of capital expenditures during recent quarters within both Technical Services and Support Services to increase capacity, expand facilities and to maintain our existing fleet of equipment.

Gain on disposition of assets, net. Gain on disposition of assets, net was $1.5 million compared to $1.0 million in the comparable period in the prior year. The gain on disposition of assets, net for the first quarters of 2007 and 2006 include gains or losses related to various property and equipment dispositions or sales to customers of lost or damaged rental equipment.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Other income, net. Other income, net was $897 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $261 thousand for the same period in the prior year. Other income, net primarily includes gains from settlements of various legal and insurance claims.

Interest expense and interest income. Interest expense was $754 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $1 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase in 2007 is due to outstanding interest bearing advances on our revolving line of credit. Interest income declined to $18 thousand for the three months ended March, 31 2007 compared to $154 thousand for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in interest income was due to lower average cash balances in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the prior year.

Income tax provision. Income tax provision was $16.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $15.0 million in 2006. This increase was due to the increase in income before taxes partially offset by a decrease in the effective tax rate to 36.5 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from 37.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2007 were $4.0 million. The following table sets forth the historical cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

	Three months ended March 31,
*(In thousands)*	2007		2006

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	24,285	$	22,285
Net cash used for investing activities		61,840		24,613
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities		38,813		(3,095	)

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased $2.0 million compared to the comparable period in the prior year. Cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in net income together with an increase in depreciation partially offset by a $2.2 million higher cash contribution to the Company’s pension plan and an increase in working capital requirements. Working capital increases were primarily related to higher accounts receivable and inventories consistent with higher business activity levels partially offset by higher accounts payable due to timing differences.

Cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $37.2 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily as a result of higher capital expenditures to increase capacity and maintain our existing equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $41.9 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily due to an increase in net borrowings from notes payable to banks during the first quarter of 2007. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in dividends paid to common shareholders.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company’s financial condition as of March 31, 2007, remains strong. We believe the liquidity provided by our existing cash and cash equivalents, our overall strong capitalization which includes a revolving credit facility and cash expected to be generated from operations will provide sufficient capital to meet our requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company currently has a $250 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Agreement") maturing in 2011, subject to extension. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including certain financial covenants including covenants restricting RPC's ability to incur liens or merge or consolidate with another entity. In addition to our borrowings of $79.5 million at March 31, 2007, a total of $153.3 million is available under our facility as of March 31, 2007. Approximately $17.3 million of the credit facility supports outstanding letters of credit relating to self-insurance programs or contract bids. Additional information regarding our Revolving Credit Agreement is included in Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

The Company’s decisions about the amount of cash to be used for investing and financing purposes are influenced by its capital position, including access to borrowings under our credit facility, and the expected amount of cash to be provided by operations. We believe our liquidity will continue to provide the opportunity to grow our asset base and revenues during periods with positive business conditions and strong customer activity levels. In addition, the Company's decisions about the amount of cash to be used for investing and financing activities may also be influenced by the financial covenants in our credit facility.

Cash Requirements

The Company currently expects that capital expenditures during 2007 will be approximately $275 million, of which $63.7 million has been spent as of March 31, 2007. We expect these expenditures to be primarily directed towards revenue-producing equipment in our larger, core service lines including pressure pumping, snubbing, nitrogen, and rental tools. The actual amount of 2007 expenditures will depend primarily on equipment maintenance requirements, expansion opportunities, and equipment delivery schedules.

The Company’s Retirement Income Plan, a multiple employer trusteed defined benefit pension plan, provides monthly benefits upon retirement at age 65 to eligible employees. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company contributed $4.8 million to the pension plan. The Company does not currently expect to make any additional contributions to the pension plan in 2007.

The Company’s Board of Directors announced a stock buyback program on March 9, 1998 authorizing the repurchase of 11,812,500 shares. The Company did not repurchase any stock under the program during the three months ended March 31, 2007, but it may repurchase outstanding common shares periodically based on market conditions and our capital allocation strategies and restrictions under our credit facility. The stock buyback program does not have a predetermined expiration date.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

On April 24, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a $0.05 per share cash dividend payable June 11, 2007 to stockholders of record at the close of business May 11, 2007. The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends to common stockholders, subject to the earnings and financial condition of the Company and other relevant factors.

INFLATION

The Company purchases its equipment and materials from suppliers who provide competitive prices. Due to the recent increases in activity in the domestic oilfield, the Company has experienced some upward wage pressures in the labor markets from which it hires employees. If inflation in the general economy increases, the Company’s costs for equipment, materials and labor could increase as well. Also the price of steel, for both the commodity and for products manufactured with steel, has increased dramatically due to increased worldwide demand. Although prices have moderated, they remain high by historical standards. This factor has affected the Company's operations by extending time for deliveries of new equipment and receipt of price quotations that may only be valid for a limited period of time. If this factor continues, it is possible that the cost of the Company's new equipment will increase which would result in higher capital expenditures and depreciation expense. RPC may not be able to recover such increased costs through price increases to its customers, thereby reducing the Company's future profits.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any material off balance sheet arrangements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Marine Products Corporation

Effective February 28, 2001, the Company spun-off the business conducted through Chaparral Boats, Inc, RPC’s former powerboat manufacturing segment. In conjunction with the spin-off, RPC and Marine Products entered into various agreements that define the companies’ relationship. A detailed discussion of the various agreements in effect is contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, RPC charged Marine Products for its allocable share of administrative costs incurred for services rendered on behalf of Marine Products totaling $251,000 compared to $203,000 for the comparable period in 2006.

Other

The Company periodically purchases in the ordinary course of business products or services from suppliers who are owned by officers or significant shareholders of, or affiliated with the directors of RPC. The total amounts paid to these affiliated parties were approximately $273,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $131,000 the three months ended March 31, 2006.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

RPC receives certain administrative services and rents office space from Rollins, Inc. (a company of which Mr. R. Randall Rollins is also Chairman, and which is controlled by Mr. Rollins and his affiliates). The service agreements between Rollins, Inc. and the Company provide for the provision of services on a cost reimbursement basis and are terminable on six months notice. The services covered by these agreements include office space, selected administration services for certain employee benefit programs, and other administrative services. Charges to the Company (or to corporations which are subsidiaries of the Company) for such services and rent aggregated approximately $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion of Critical Accounting Policies is incorporated herein by reference from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies since year-end.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on results of operations and financial condition.

SEASONALITY

Oil and natural gas prices affect demand throughout the oil and natural gas industry, including the demand for the Company’s products and services. The Company’s business depends in large part on the conditions of the oil and gas industry, and specifically on the capital expenditures of its customers related to the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. There is a positive correlation between these expenditures and customers’ demand for the Company’s services. As such, when these expenditures fluctuate, customers’ demand for the Company’s services fluctuates as well. These fluctuations depend on the current and projected prices of oil and natural gas and resulting drilling activity, and are not seasonal to any material degree.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to interest rate risk exposure through borrowings on its $250 million credit facility. As of March 31, 2007, there are outstanding interest-bearing advances of $79.5 million on our credit facility which bear interest at a floating rate. A change in the interest rate of one percent on the balance outstanding at March 31, 2007 would cause a change of $80,000 in total annual interest costs.
