          though the S&amp;S acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of 2016 in note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2018 Form 10-K, as follows:</font></div>

          with the debt used to fund a portion of the acquisition, the impact of the additional shares issued in connection with the S&amp;S acquisition, removal of a product line sold in 2016 and the impact of certain fair value adjustments such as
          depreciation adjustments related to adjustments to property and equipment. The pro forma results do not include any cost savings or potential synergies related to the acquisition nor any integration costs. The pro forma results should not be
          considered indicative of the results of operations or financial position of the combined companies had the acquisitions had been consummated as of January 1, 2016 and are not necessarily indicative of results of future operations of the Company.</font></div>

          presented pro forma results in note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2018 Form 10-K for the years 2016 and 2017 for the impact of the S&amp;S acquisition in the interest of better disclosure and to facilitate the comparison of

      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The Form 8-K and related earnings release was furnished on November 1, 2017, which was approximately six weeks after S&amp;S was
          acquired. Visibility into the separate operating results of S&amp;S became increasingly difficult over time as the Company was actively working to integrate S&amp;S into the rest of the Company.&#160; The earnings guidance and related impact of the
          S&amp;S acquisition on future earnings was provided for the 2017 fourth quarter and included a fairly large range.&#160; The earnings guidance was also provided to help investors understand the impact of issuing shares to acquire S&amp;S which was
          going to dilute the Company&#8217;s legacy earnings.&#160; As the fourth quarter of 2017 progressed, the coordination of the sales effort intensified between United Holdings LLC and S&amp;S, and the companies began to complete orders at each other&#8217;s
          manufacturing facilities which resulted in a January 2018 decision to combine the two companies&#8217; financial goals for their incentive compensation system into one combined goal for reasons including the realization that it was becoming impractical
          to separate the financial performance of the two companies.</font></div>

      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Due to the extent of the integration of the acquired operations with the Company&#8217;s legacy operations following the acquisition, it is
          impractical to discern the revenue and earnings of the acquired operations, as all such transactions are co-mingled with legacy operations and not captured in a single reporting unit resulting in the inability to report information that relates
          solely to the acquired operations.</font></div>

          of acquired companies&#8217; operations in Item 7. Management&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2018 Form 10-K to explain why the disclosure is not included. The following disclosures were included:</font></div>

      </div>
      <div style="margin: 0px 18pt; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">The S&amp;S operations were quickly integrated into the Company&#8217;s own operations. This helped the Company to secure orders
          for the manufacture of pressure pumping units that both standalone companies would have struggled to deliver on-time to the customer and would likely have not received, as well as began to complete orders at each other&#8217;s manufacturing facilities
          for geographic convenience as well. Due to the accelerated integration, it is not practical to provide a specific amount of revenues for S&amp;S, but the acquisition of S&amp;S in 2017 was one of the primary factors that drove increases in
          distribution and services revenues in 2018 compared to 2017 and 2017 compared to 2016.</font></div>

          contracts soon after the acquisition and Higman barges worked with the Company&#8217;s towboats and vice versa resulting in differences in vessel utilization and pricing among individual assets and the consolidated fleet. Due to this quick integration,
          it is not practical to provide a specific amount of revenues for Higman but the acquisition in February 2018 was one of the primary factors that drove increases in marine transportation revenues in 2018 as compared to 2017.</font></div>
