</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Patterson-UTI
Energy, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company has no controlling financial interests
in any entity that is not a wholly-owned subsidiary and which would require consolidation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management of
the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures
included either on the face of the financial statements or herein are sufficient to make the
information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a
normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair statement of the information in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been included. The
Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December&nbsp;31, 2007, as presented herein, was derived from
the audited balance sheet of the Company, but does not include all disclosures required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes included in the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The U.S.&nbsp;dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company&#146;s operations except for its
Canadian operations, which use the Canadian dollar as their functional currency. The effects of
exchange rate changes are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate
component of stockholders&#146; equity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company provides a dual presentation of its net income per common share in its Unaudited
Consolidated Statements of Income: Basic net income per common share (&#147;Basic EPS&#148;) and diluted net
income per common share (&#147;Diluted EPS&#148;). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding
nonvested restricted stock. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding plus the impact of dilutive instruments, including stock options, restricted stock and
stock unit awards using the treasury stock method. The following table presents information
necessary to calculate net income per share for the three and nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008
and 2007 as well as potentially dilutive securities excluded from the weighted average number of
diluted common shares outstanding, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive during the
three and nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company recognizes the cost of share-based awards under the fair-value method. The
Company uses share-based awards to compensate employees and non-employee directors. All awards
have been equity instruments in the form of stock options, restricted stock awards or stock unit
awards and have included service and, in certain cases, performance conditions. The Company issues
shares of common stock when vested stock option awards are exercised, when restricted stock awards
are granted and when stock unit awards vest.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Stock Options.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company estimates the grant date fair values of stock options using the
Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model (&#147;Black-Scholes&#148;). Volatility assumptions are based on the
historic volatility of the Company&#146;s common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected
term of the options as of the date the options are granted. The expected term assumptions are
based on the Company&#146;s experience with respect to employee stock option activity. Dividend yield
assumptions are based on the expected dividends at the time the options are granted. The risk-free
interest rate assumptions are determined by reference to United States Treasury yields. No stock
options were granted in the three month periods ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 and 2007.
Weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the grant date fair values for stock options granted
in the nine month periods ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 and 2007 follow:

working interest basis, in oil and natural gas properties. Each of these segments represents a
distinct type of business based upon the type and nature of services and products offered. These
segments have separate management teams which report to the Company&#146;s chief operating decision

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has an unsecured revolving line of credit (&#147;LOC&#148;) with a maximum borrowing
capacity of $375&nbsp;million. Interest is paid on outstanding LOC balances at a floating rate ranging
from LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.0% or the prime rate at the Company&#146;s election. Any outstanding
borrowings must be repaid at maturity on December&nbsp;16, 2009. This arrangement includes various
fees, including a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount (0.15% at September&nbsp;30, 2008).
There are customary restrictions and covenants associated with the LOC. Financial covenants
provide for a maximum debt to capitalization ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The
Company does not expect that the restrictions and covenants will impact its ability to operate or
react to opportunities that might arise. As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, the Company had no borrowings
outstanding under the LOC. However, the Company had $58.5&nbsp;million in letters of credit outstanding
and as a result, the Company had available borrowing capacity of approximately $316&nbsp;million at
September&nbsp;30, 2008.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;29, 2008, the Company&#146;s Board of Directors approved a cash dividend on its common
stock in the amount of $0.16 per share to be paid on December&nbsp;30, 2008 to holders of record as of
December&nbsp;12, 2008. The amount and timing of all future dividend payments, if any, is subject to
the discretion of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors and will depend upon business conditions,
results of operations, financial condition, terms of the Company&#146;s credit facilities and other
factors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On August&nbsp;1, 2007, the Company&#146;s Board of Directors approved a stock buyback program
(&#147;Program&#148;), authorizing purchases of up to $250&nbsp;million of the Company&#146;s common stock in open
market or privately negotiated transactions. During the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, the
Company purchased 2,002,047 shares of common stock under the Program at a cost of $50.4&nbsp;million.
As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, the Company had authority remaining under the Program to purchase
approximately $129&nbsp;million of the Company&#146;s outstanding common stock. Shares purchased under the
Program are accounted for as treasury stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company purchased 152,235 shares of treasury stock from employees during the nine months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 to provide employees with the funds necessary to satisfy payroll tax
withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock. The purchases were made at
fair market value and the total purchase price for these shares was approximately $4.5&nbsp;million.
These purchases were made pursuant to the terms of the Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. 2005 Long-Term
Incentive Plan and not pursuant to the Program.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) Interpretation No.&nbsp;48,
<I>Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes &#150; an interpretation of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;109 </I>(&#147;FIN
48&#148;), on January&nbsp;1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an enterprise&#146;s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, the Company had no
unrecognized tax benefits. In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company established a
policy to account for interest and penalties with respect to income taxes as operating expenses.
As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, the tax years ended December&nbsp;31, 2005 through December&nbsp;31, 2007 are open
for examination by U.S. taxing authorities. As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, the tax years ended December

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In September&nbsp;2006, the FASB issued Statement No.&nbsp;157, <I>Fair Value Measurements </I>(&#147;FAS&nbsp;157&#148;).
FAS&nbsp;157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The initial
application of FAS&nbsp;157 is limited to financial assets and liabilities and became effective on
January&nbsp;1, 2008 for the Company. The impact of the initial application was not material. The
Company will adopt FAS 157 on a prospective basis for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are
not measured at fair value on a recurring basis on January&nbsp;1, 2009. The application of FAS 157 to
the Company&#146;s nonfinancial assets and liabilities will primarily be limited to assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in a business combination, asset retirement obligations and asset impairments,
including goodwill and long-lived assets. This application of FAS 157 is not expected to have a
material impact to the Company.

and Statement No.&nbsp;160, <I>Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment
of ARB No.&nbsp;51 </I>(&#147;FAS 160&#148;). FAS 141(R) is a revision of Statement No.&nbsp;141, <I>Business Combinations</I>,
and calls for significant changes from current practice in accounting for business combinations.
FAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008. FAS 160
amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008. Both FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 will be effective for the
Company beginning the quarter ending March&nbsp;31, 2009. The application of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 are
not expected to have a material impact to the Company.

Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities </I>(&#147;FSP EITF
03-6-1&#148;). FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to
receive nonforfeitable dividends before vesting should be considered participating securities and,
as such, should be included in the calculation of basic earnings-per-share using the two-class
method. Certain of the Company&#146;s share-based payment awards entitle the holders to receive
nonforfeitable dividends and the application of the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1 may have the
effect of reducing basic and diluted earnings-per-share by an immaterial amount. FSP EITF 03-6-1

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We provide our contract services to oil and natural gas operators in many of the oil and
natural gas producing regions of North America. Our contract drilling operations are focused in
various regions of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Pennsylvania and Western Canada,
while our pressure pumping services are focused primarily in the Appalachian Basin. Our drilling
and completion fluids services are provided to operators offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and on land
in Texas, Southeastern New Mexico, Oklahoma and the Gulf Coast region of Louisiana. The oil and
natural gas properties in which we hold working interests are primarily located in West and South
Texas, Southeastern New Mexico, Utah and Mississippi.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Typically, the profitability of our business is most readily assessed by two primary
indicators in our contract drilling segment: our average number of rigs operating and our average
revenue per operating day. During the third quarter of 2008, our average number of rigs operating
was 276 per day compared to 243 in the third quarter of 2007. Our average revenue per operating
day was $19,620 in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $19,150 in the third quarter of 2007. Our
consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2008 increased by $10.6&nbsp;million or 11% as compared
to the third quarter of 2007. This increase in consolidated net income was primarily due to our
contract drilling segment experiencing an increase in the average number of rigs operating,
partially offset by reduced profitability in our pressure pumping segment in the third quarter of
2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our revenues, profitability and cash flows are highly dependent upon prevailing prices for
natural gas and, to a lesser extent, oil. During periods of improved commodity prices, the capital
spending budgets of oil and natural gas operators tend to expand, which results in increased demand
for our contract services. Conversely, in periods when these commodity prices deteriorate, the
demand for our contract services generally weakens and we experience downward pressure on pricing
for our services. During recent months, there has been substantial
volatility and a decline in oil and natural gas prices. There has
also been substantial uncertainty in the capital markets and access to
credit is uncertain. Due to these conditions, certain of our
customers may begin to curtail their drilling programs which would
result in a decrease in demand for our contract services.
Furthermore, certain of our customers could experience an inability to
pay suppliers, including us, in the event they are unable to access
the capital markets to fund their business operations. Our operations
are also highly impacted by competition, the availability
of excess equipment, labor issues and various other factors which are more fully described as &#147;Risk
Factors&#148; included as Item&nbsp;1A in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2007.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that the liquidity reflected in our balance sheet as of September&nbsp;30, 2008, which
includes approximately $333&nbsp;million in working capital (including $25.0&nbsp;million in cash and cash
equivalents) and approximately $316&nbsp;million available under a $375&nbsp;million line of credit, provides
us with the ability to build new equipment, make improvements to our equipment, expand into new
regions, pursue acquisition opportunities, pay cash dividends and survive downturns in our
industry.

the aggregate amount of $58.5&nbsp;million for the benefit of various insurance companies as collateral
for retrospective premiums and retained losses which could become payable under the terms of the
underlying insurance contracts. These letters of credit expire at various times during each
calendar year and are typically renewed annually. As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, no amounts had been
drawn under the letters of credit.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, we had commitments to purchase approximately $308

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">September&nbsp;30, 2008, we had approximately 350 currently marketable land-based drilling rigs.
We provide pressure pumping services to oil and natural gas operators primarily in the Appalachian
Basin. These services consist primarily of well stimulation and cementing for completion of new
wells and remedial work on existing wells. We provide drilling fluids, completion fluids and
related services to oil and natural gas operators offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and on land in
Texas, Southeastern New Mexico, Oklahoma and the Gulf Coast region of Louisiana. Drilling and
completion fluids are used by oil and natural gas operators during the drilling process to control
pressure when drilling oil and natural gas wells. We also invest, on a working interest basis, in
oil and natural gas properties.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The North American land drilling industry has experienced periods of downturn in demand at
various times during the last decade. During these periods, there have been substantially more
drilling rigs available than necessary to meet demand. As a result, drilling contractors have had
difficulty sustaining profit margins during the downturn periods.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to adverse effects that future declines in demand could have on us, ongoing
factors which could continue to adversely affect utilization rates and pricing, even in an
environment of high oil and natural gas prices and increased drilling activity, include:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result of an increase in drilling activity and increased prices for drilling services in
2005 and 2006, construction of new drilling rigs increased significantly in that time period. The
addition of new drilling rigs to the market resulted in excess capacity compared to demand, and
construction of new drilling rigs moderated in 2007. With an increase in demand in 2008, we
believe that further construction of new drilling rigs has again increased. Recent decreases in prices
of natural gas and oil are likely to reduce both the demand for our services and construction of
new drilling rigs. We cannot predict either the future level of demand for our contract drilling
services or future conditions in the oil and natural gas contract drilling business.

the amount of $0.16 per share to be paid on December&nbsp;30, 2008 to holders of record as of December
12, 2008. The amount and timing of all future dividend payments, if any, is subject to the
discretion of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors and will depend upon business conditions, results of
operations, financial condition, terms of our credit facilities and other factors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On August&nbsp;1, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a stock buyback program (&#147;Program&#148;),
authorizing purchases of up to $250&nbsp;million of our common stock in open market or privately
negotiated transactions. During the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, we purchased 2,002,047
shares of common stock under the Program at a cost of $50.4&nbsp;million. As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, we
had authority remaining under the Program to purchase approximately $129&nbsp;million of our outstanding
common stock. Shares purchased under the Program are accounted for as treasury stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have an unsecured revolving line of credit with a maximum borrowing capacity of $375
million. Interest is paid on outstanding LOC balances at a floating rate ranging from LIBOR plus
0.625% to 1.0% or the prime rate at our election. Any outstanding borrowings must be repaid at
maturity on December&nbsp;16, 2009. As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, we had no borrowings outstanding under
our $375&nbsp;million revolving line of credit. However, we had $58.5&nbsp;million in letters of credit
outstanding and as a result, we had available borrowing capacity of approximately $316&nbsp;million at
September&nbsp;30, 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe that the current level of cash, short-term investments and
borrowing capacity available under our revolving line of credit, together with cash
generated from operations, should be sufficient to meet our
capital needs. From time to time, acquisition opportunities are evaluated. The timing, size or
success of any acquisition and the associated capital commitments are unpredictable. Should
opportunities for growth requiring capital arise, we believe we would be able to satisfy these
needs through a combination of working capital, cash generated from operations, our existing credit
facility, additional debt or equity financing. However, there can be no assurance that such
capital will be available on reasonable terms, if at all.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenues and direct operating costs increased in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the
third quarter of 2007 primarily as a result of an increase in the number of operating days and to a
lesser extent as a result of increases in the average revenue and average direct operating costs
per operating day. Operating days increased in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third
quarter of 2007 due to increased demand for our contract drilling services. Significant capital
expenditures have been incurred to build new drilling rigs, to modify and upgrade our existing
drilling rigs and to acquire additional related equipment such as drill pipe, drill collars,
engines, fluid circulating systems, rig hoisting systems and safety enhancement equipment.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The number of
jobs completed decreased in the third quarter of
2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007 as we and our customers
increased our focus on the emerging development of unconventional
reservoirs in the Appalachian Basin and the larger jobs associated
therewith. As a
result of this focus on unconventional reservoirs we experienced a
decrease in smaller traditional pressure
pumping jobs, which resulted in an overall decrease in the number of total jobs. Revenues and
direct operating costs increased as a result of increases in the average revenue and average direct
operating costs per job. Increased average revenue per job was due to an increase in larger jobs
being driven by demand for services associated with unconventional reservoirs as discussed above.
Average direct operating costs per job increased as a result of increases in compensation,
maintenance and the cost of materials used in our operations, as well as an increase in larger
jobs. Selling, general and administrative expense increased primarily as a result of expenses to
support the expanding operations of the pressure pumping segment. Significant capital expenditures
have been incurred to add capacity, expand our areas of operation and modify and upgrade existing
equipment. The increase in depreciation expense is a result of the capital expenditures discussed
above.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenues increased in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007 due to
increased sales both on land and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as increased pricing for
certain products. Direct operating costs increased due to increased sales as well as increases in
the costs of raw materials, including barite ore. Direct operating costs in the third quarter of
2008 also include approximately $650,000 in losses associated with damage suffered as a result of
hurricanes.

increased due to higher average sales prices of oil and natural gas. This
increase was partially offset by decreases in the average net daily production of oil and natural
gas and by the elimination of well operations revenue due to the sale in the fourth quarter of 2007
of the operating responsibilities associated with oil and natural gas wells. Average net daily oil
and natural gas production decreased primarily due to production declines. The increase in direct
operating costs was primarily due to an increase in seismic costs incurred in the third quarter of
2008, as well as increased production taxes and other production costs. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased in the third quarter of 2008 due to the sale of operating
responsibilities mentioned above and the resulting elimination of headcount in our oil and natural

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenues and direct operating costs increased in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the
first nine months of 2007 primarily as a result of an increase in the number of operating days.
Average revenue per operating day decreased in the first nine months of 2008 while average direct
operating costs per operating day increased in the same period. The increase in average direct
operating costs per operating day includes costs incurred during 2008 in activating drilling rigs.
Significant capital expenditures have been incurred to build new drilling rigs, to modify and
upgrade our drilling rigs and to acquire additional related equipment such as drill pipe, drill
collars, engines, fluid circulating systems, rig hoisting systems and safety enhancement equipment.
The increase in depreciation expense was a result of the capital expenditures discussed above.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The number of jobs completed decreased in 2008 compared to
2007 as we and our customers increased our focus on the emerging
development of unconventional reservoirs in the Appalachian Basin and
the larger jobs associated therewith. As a result of this focus on unconventional
reservoirs we experienced a decrease in smaller traditional pressure pumping jobs, which resulted in an
overall decrease in the number of total jobs. Revenues and direct operating costs increased as a
result of an increase in the average revenue and average direct operating costs per job. Increased
average revenue per job was due to an increase in larger jobs being driven by demand for services
associated with unconventional reservoirs as discussed above. Average direct operating costs per

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenues
increased due to higher average sales prices of oil and natural gas. This
increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average net daily production of oil and natural
gas and by the elimination of well operations revenue due to the sale in the fourth quarter of 2007
of the operating responsibilities associated with oil and natural gas wells. Average net daily oil
and natural gas production decreased primarily due to the sale of properties in 2007 and production
declines. Direct operating costs increased due to an increase in seismic costs incurred in the
first nine months of 2008, as well as increased production taxes and other production costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in the first nine months of 2008 due to the
sale of the operating responsibilities mentioned above and the resulting elimination of headcount
in our oil and natural gas production and exploration segment. Depreciation, depletion and
impairment expense in the first nine months of 2008 includes approximately $1.9&nbsp;million incurred to
impair certain oil and natural gas properties compared to approximately $3.0&nbsp;million incurred to
impair certain oil and natural gas properties in the first nine months of 2007. Depletion expense
decreased approximately $1.7&nbsp;million primarily due to the sale of certain properties in 2007 and
higher commodity prices in 2008.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Selling, general and administrative expense increased primarily as a result of additional
compensation expense and an increase in payroll tax expense associated with the exercise of stock
options during the first nine months of 2008. The decrease in gain on disposal of assets in the
first nine months of 2008 compared to the first nine months of 2007 is due to a sale in 2007 of
certain oil and natural gas properties. Gains and losses on the disposal of assets are considered
part of our corporate activities due to the fact that such transactions relate to decisions of our
executive management regarding corporate strategy. Embezzlement recoveries in the first nine
months of 2007 include net recoveries of embezzled funds.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In September&nbsp;2006, the FASB issued Statement No.&nbsp;157, <I>Fair Value Measurements </I>(&#147;FAS&nbsp;157&#148;).
FAS&nbsp;157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The initial
application of FAS&nbsp;157 is limited to financial assets and liabilities and became effective on
January&nbsp;1, 2008 for us. The impact of the initial application was not material. We will adopt FAS
157 on a prospective basis for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair
value on a recurring basis on January&nbsp;1, 2009. The application of FAS 157 to our nonfinancial
assets and liabilities will primarily be limited to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a
business combination, asset retirement obligations and asset impairments, including goodwill and
long-lived assets. This application of FAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact to us.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December&nbsp;2007, the FASB issued Statement No.&nbsp;141(R), <I>Business Combinations </I>(&#147;FAS 141(R)&#148;)
and Statement No.&nbsp;160, <I>Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment
of ARB No.&nbsp;51 </I>(&#147;FAS 160&#148;). FAS 141(R) is a revision of Statement No.&nbsp;141, <I>Business Combinations</I>,
and calls for significant changes from current practice in accounting for business combinations.
FAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008. FAS 160
amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008. Both FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 will be effective for us
beginning the quarter ending March&nbsp;31, 2009. The application of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 are not
expected to have a material impact to us.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In June&nbsp;2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No.&nbsp;EITF 03-6-1, <I>Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities </I>(&#147;FSP EITF
03-6-1&#148;). FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to
receive nonforfeitable dividends before vesting should be considered participating securities and,
as such, should be included in the calculation of basic earnings-per-share using the two-class
method. Certain of our share-based payment awards entitle the holders to receive nonforfeitable
dividends and the application of the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1 may have the effect of reducing
basic and diluted earnings-per-share by an immaterial amount. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2008, as well as interim
periods within those years. Once effective, all prior-period earnings-per-share data presented
must be adjusted retrospectively to conform with the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1. FSP EITF
03-6-1 will be effective for us beginning in the quarter ending March&nbsp;31, 2009 and early

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Volatility of Oil and Natural Gas Prices and its Impact on Operations</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our revenue, profitability, and rate of growth are substantially dependent upon prevailing
prices for natural gas and, to a lesser extent, oil. For many years, oil and natural gas prices
and markets have been volatile. Prices are affected by market supply and demand factors as well as
international military, political and economic conditions, and the ability of OPEC to set and
maintain production and price targets. All of these factors are beyond our control. During 2006,
the average market price of natural gas retreated from record highs that were set in 2005. The
price dropped from an average of $8.98 per Mcf in 2005 to an average of $6.94 per Mcf in 2006 and
an average of $7.18 per Mcf in 2007. This resulted in our customers moderating their increase in
drilling activities during 2007. This moderation combined with the reactivation and construction
of new land drilling rigs in the United States resulted in excess capacity. Natural gas prices
have rebounded to an average of $9.98 per Mcf for the first nine months of 2008 and activity has
increased during that period. We expect oil and natural gas prices to continue to be volatile and
to affect our financial condition, operations and ability to access sources of capital. Natural
gas prices have recently declined to below $7.00 per Mcf. This decrease in market prices for
natural gas could result in a material decrease in demand for drilling rigs and adversely affect
our operating results.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The North American land drilling industry has experienced many downturns in demand at various
times during the last decade. During these periods, there have been substantially more drilling
rigs available than necessary to meet demand. As a result, drilling contractors have had
difficulty sustaining profit margins during the downturn periods.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We currently have exposure to interest rate market risk associated with borrowings under our
revolving line of credit facility. The revolving line of credit facility calls for periodic
interest payments at a floating rate ranging from LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.0% or at the prime rate at
our election. The applicable rate above LIBOR is based upon our debt to capitalization ratio. Our
exposure to interest rate risk due to changes in the prime rate or LIBOR is not material due to the
fact that we had no outstanding borrowings as of September&nbsp;30, 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We conduct some business in Canadian dollars through our Canadian land-based drilling
operations. The exchange rate between Canadian dollars and U.S.&nbsp;dollars has fluctuated during the
last several years. If the value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S.&nbsp;dollar weakens, revenues
and earnings of our Canadian operations will be reduced and the value of our Canadian net assets
will decline when they are translated to U.S.&nbsp;dollars. This currency rate risk is not material to
our results of operations or financial condition.
