FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and any oral statements made in connection with it include certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project” or “should” or other comparable words or the negative of these words. When you consider our forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors we describe and other cautionary statements we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our forward-looking statements are only predictions based on expectations that we believe are reasonable. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of known risks and uncertainties set forth below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These factors include or relate to the following:

• supply and demand for oilfield services and industry activity levels;

• potential for excess capacity;

• spending by the oil and natural gas industry given the continuing worldwide economic downturn;

• our level of indebtedness in the current market;

• possible impairment of our long-lived assets;

• our ability to maintain stable pricing;

• competition;

• substantial capital requirements;

• significant operating and financial restrictions under our indenture and revolving credit facility;

• technological obsolescence of operating equipment;

• dependence on certain key employees;

• concentration of customers;

• substantial additional costs of compliance with reporting obligations, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and indenture covenants;

• material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting;

• seasonality of oilfield services activity;

• collection of accounts receivable;

• environmental and other governmental regulation, including potential climate change legislation;

• the potential disruption of business activities caused by the physical effects, if any, of climate change;

• risks inherent in our operations;

• market response to global demands to curtail use of oil and natural gas;

• ability to fully integrate future acquisitions;

• variation from projected operating and financial data;

• variation from budgeted and projected capital expenditures;

• volatility of global financial markets; and

• the other factors discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. To the extent these risks, uncertainties and assumptions give rise to events that vary from our expectations, the forward-looking events discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Nature of Business

Forbes Energy Services Ltd. (“FES Ltd”) is an independent oilfield services contractor that provides a wide range of well site services to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies to help develop and enhance the production of oil and natural gas. These services include fluid hauling, fluid disposal, well maintenance, completion services, workovers and recompletions, plugging and abandonment, and tubing testing. Our operations are concentrated in the major onshore oil and natural gas producing regions of Texas, with additional locations in Mississippi, in Pennsylvania and, prior to the disposition of our Mexican assets in January 2012, which is discussed in Note 17 below, in Mexico. We believe that our broad range of services, which extends from initial drilling, through production, to eventual abandonment, is fundamental to establishing and maintaining the flow of oil and natural gas throughout the life cycle of our customers’ wells.

As used in these condensed consolidated financial statements, the “Company,” the “Forbes Group,” “we,” and “our” mean FES Ltd and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, except as otherwise indicated.

2. Risk and Uncertainties

As an independent oilfield services contractor that provides a broad range of drilling-related and production-related services to oil and natural gas companies, primarily onshore in Texas, our revenue, profitability, cash flows and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on our ability to (1) maintain adequate equipment utilization, (2) maintain adequate pricing for the services we provide, and (3) maintain a trained work force. Failure to do so could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Because our revenues are generated primarily from customers who are subject to the same factors generally impacting the oil and natural gas industry, our operations are also susceptible to market volatility resulting from economic, cyclical, weather related or other factors related to such industry. Changes in the level of operating and capital spending in the industry, decreases in oil and natural gas prices, or industry perception about future oil and natural gas prices could materially decrease the demand for our services, adversely affecting our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

3. Basis of Presentation

Interim Financial Information

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Forbes Group are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “GAAP” for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read along with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Forbes Group’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the interim periods presented. Interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2012. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management believes that these estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

9

Foreign Currency Gains and Losses

The functional currency at our Mexican subsidiary is the Mexican Peso. On January 12, 2012, we completed the disposition of substantially all of our assets and business located in Mexico. Nevertheless, we continue to collect accounts receivables related to these prior operations in Mexico and a significant portion of these accounts receivable is in pesos. Assets and liabilities are translated using the spot rate on the balance sheet date, while income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. The resulting gains or losses arising from the translation of accounts from the functional currency to the U.S. dollar are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity in other comprehensive income (loss). Transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are re-measured into the functional currency each reporting period. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions and balances denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations and cash flows as incurred.

Share Consolidation

As of August 12, 2011, FES Ltd discontinued its existence in Bermuda and converted into a Texas corporation. In connection with and immediately prior to this Texas conversion, FES Ltd effected a 4-to-1 share consolidation, or the Share Consolidation. All references included in these financial statements and accompanying notes to the number of shares, par value and per share amounts of the common stock of FES Ltd prior to the Share Consolidation have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Share Consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 unit’s 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. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-08 during the first quarter of 2012.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet” (“ASU 2011-11”). The standard amends and expands disclosure requirements about balance sheet offsetting and related arrangements. ASU 2011-11 becomes effective for Forbes on January 1, 2013. We do not anticipate any impact to our results of operations, financial position or liquidity when the guidance becomes effective.

4. Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets are subject to amortization for the period of time which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows under the guidance of ASC 350.

Our major classes of intangible assets subject to amortization under ASC 350 consist of our customer relationships, trade names, safety training program, dispatch software, and other. The Company expenses costs associated with extensions or renewals of intangibles assets. There were no such extensions or renewals in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 or June 30, 2011. Amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the period indicated. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 from continuing operations was $0.7 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 was $1.4 million.

5. Share-Based Compensation

Stock Options

From time to time, the Company grants stock options, restricted stock or other awards to its employees, including executive officers and directors. Prior to July 9, 2012, these awards were granted pursuant to the Company’s 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2008 Plan. On July 9, 2012, at the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2012 Plan. No further awards will be made under the 2008 Plan, however, outstanding awards granted under the 2008 Plan will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the 2008 Plan. Any shares of common stock that are available to be granted under the 2008 Plan but which are not subject to outstanding awards under the 2008 Plan, including shares that become available due to the future lapse or forfeiture of outstanding awards, will be added to the 1,022,500 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2012 Plan. As of June 30, 2012, no awards had been issued under the 2012 Plan.

Stock options issued in 2008 under the 2008 plan originally vested over a three-year period. On August 11, 2011, however, the Company exchanged 667,500 of these options, which constituted all of the outstanding options issued in 2008, in a 0.72 to 1 exchange for 480,600 options issued under the 2008 plan (the “Exchange Options”). These Exchange Options vest one-third every four months from the exchange date and the Company will recognize $0.1 million of compensation expense for this exchange over a 12 month period. With respect to the stock options issued in 2010, the standard option vests over a two year period with one fourth vesting every six months, until fully vested. With respect to options, unrelated to the Exchange Options issued in August 2011, vesting took place over a three-year period, with approximately one third vesting on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. For most grantees, vested options expire at the earlier of either one year after the termination of grantee’s employment by reason of death, disability or retirement, 90 days after termination of the grantee’s employment other than upon grantee’s death, disability or retirement, provided, however, that the Company may elect to extend the expiration beyond this 90-day period, or ten years after the date of grant.

The following table presents a summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

9% Senior Notes

On June 7, 2011, FES Ltd issued $280.0 million in principal amount of 9% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “9% Senior Notes”). The proceeds of the 9% Senior Notes were used to purchase and redeem 100% of the First Priority Notes and the outstanding Second Priority Notes (described below)issued by two of FES Ltd’s subsidiaries, Forbes Energy Services LLC and Forbes Energy Capital Inc. The 9% Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2019, and require semi-annual interest payments, in arrears, at an annual rate of 9% on June 15 and December 15 of each year until maturity commencing December 15, 2011. No principal payments are due until maturity.

The 9% Senior Notes are guaranteed by the current domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subs”) of FES Ltd, which includes FES LLC, C.C. Forbes, LLC (“CCF”), TX Energy Services, LLC (“TES”), Superior Tubing Testers, LLC (“STT”) and Forbes Energy International, LLC (“FEI LLC”). All of the Guarantor Subs are 100% owned. Each guarantee of the Guarantor Subs is on a full and unconditional and joint and several basis, subject to customary release provisions. Prior to January 12, 2012, FES Ltd had two 100% owned indirect Mexican subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor Subs that had not guaranteed the 9% Senior Notes. In January 2012, one of those two Mexican subsidiaries was sold along with the business and substantially all of our long-lived assets located in Mexico. The Guarantor Subs represent the majority of the Company’s operations. On or after June 15, 2015, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or part of the 9% Senior Notes from time to time at specified redemption prices and subject to certain conditions required by the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes (the “9% Senior Indenture”). The Company is required to make an offer to purchase the notes and to repurchase any notes for which the offer is accepted at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if there is a change of control. The Company is required to make an offer to repurchase the notes and to repurchase any notes for which the offer is accepted at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, following certain asset sales.

The Company is permitted under the terms of the 9% Senior Indenture to incur additional indebtedness in the future, provided that certain financial conditions set forth in the 9% Senior Indenture are satisfied. The Company is subject to certain covenants contained in the 9% Senior Indenture, including provisions that limit or restrict the Company’s and certain future subsidiaries’ abilities to incur additional debt, to create, incur or permit to exist certain liens on assets, to make certain dispositions of assets, to make payments on certain subordinated indebtedness, to pay dividends or certain other payments to equity holders, to engage in mergers, consolidations or other fundamental changes, to change the nature of its business or to engage in transactions with affiliates. As of June 30, 2012, we are in compliance with all covenants in the indenture.

Second Priority Notes

On February 12, 2008, FES LLC and FES CAP issued $205 million in principal amount of 11% senior secured notes due 2015 (together with notes issued in exchange therefore, the “Second Priority Notes”). In May 2011, we commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the Second Priority Notes then outstanding. In connection with that tender offer, we successfully solicited consents to and implemented amendments that eliminated most of the restrictive covenants and event of default provisions contained in the Indenture governing the Second Priority Notes the “Second Priority Indenture”. In June 2011, pursuant to this tender offer, we purchased 99.8% of the outstanding principal amount of the Second Priority Notes. On June 27, 2011, the Company commenced the redemption of the remaining outstanding Second Priority Notes which closed on July 27, 2011. As a result, the Second Priority Indenture was discharged and all liens relating thereto were released.

First Priority Notes

On October 2, 2009, FES LLC and FES CAP issued to Goldman, Sachs & Co. $20 million in aggregate principal amount of First Lien Floating Rate Notes due 2014 (the “First Priority Notes”), in a private placement in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On June 7, 2011, FES Ltd used a portion of the proceeds of the offering of the 9% Senior Notes to purchase all of the aggregate principal amount of the First Priority Notes outstanding at which time the indenture governing the First Priority Notes was discharged and the liens related thereto were released.

Revolving Credit Facility

On September 9, 2011, FES Ltd and its current domestic subsidiaries entered into a loan and security agreement with Regions Bank, SunTrust Bank, CIT Bank and Capital One Leverage Finance Corp., as lenders, and Regions Bank, as agent for the secured parties, or the Agent. The loan and security agreement provides for an asset based revolving credit facility with a maximum initial borrowing credit of $75.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability. As of June 30, 2012, $69.0 million was available under this new credit facility. The loan and security agreement has a stated maturity of September 9, 2016. The proceeds of this credit facility can be used for the purchase of well services equipment, permitted acquisitions, general operations, working capital and other general corporate purposes. There was $6.0 million outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2012 and no borrowings outstanding at August 10, 2012. As of August 10, 2012, there were $1.7 million in letters of credit outstanding against this facility.

Under the loan and security agreement, our borrowing base at any time is equal to (i) 85% of eligible accounts, which are determined by Agent in its reasonable discretion, plus (ii) the lesser of 85% of the appraised value, subject to certain adjustments, of our well services equipment that has been properly pledged and appraised, is in good operating condition and is located in the United States, or 100% of the net book value of such equipment, minus (iii) any reserves established by the Agent in its reasonable discretion.

At our option, borrowings under this new credit facility will bear interest at a rate equal to either (i) the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of between 2.25% to 2.75% based on borrowing availability or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin of between 1.25% to 1.75% based on borrowing availability, where the base rate is equal to the greater of the prime rate established by Regions Bank, the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the LIBOR rate for a one month period plus 1%.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the facility, a fee of 0.375% per annum will accrue on unutilized availability under the credit facility. We are required to pay a fee of between 2.25% to 2.75%, based on borrowing availability, with respect to the principal amount of any letters of credit outstanding under the facility. We are also responsible for certain other administrative fees and expenses. In connection with the execution of the loan and security agreement, we paid the lenders an upfront fee of $0.5 million.

FES LLC, FEI LLC, TES, CCF and STT are the borrowers under the loan and security agreement. Their obligations have been guaranteed by one another and by FES Ltd. Subject to certain exceptions and permitted encumbrances, including the exemption of real property interests from the collateral package, the obligations under this facility are secured by a first priority security interest in all of our assets.

We are able to voluntarily repay outstanding loans at any time without premium or penalty (subject to the fees discussed above). If at anytime our outstanding loans under the credit facility exceed the availability under our borrowing base, we may be required to repay the excess. Further, we are required to use the net proceeds from certain events, including certain judgments, tax refunds or insurance awards to repay outstanding loans; however, we may reborrow following such repayments if the conditions to borrowing are met.

The loan and security agreement contains customary covenants for an asset-based credit facility, which include (i) restrictions on certain mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; (ii) restrictions on the creation or existence of liens; (iii) restrictions on making certain investments; (iv) restrictions on the incurrence or existence of indebtedness; (v) restrictions on transactions with affiliates; (vi) requirements to deliver financial statements, report and notices to the Agent and (vii) a springing requirement to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (which is defined in the loan and security agreement) of 1.1:1.0 in the event that our excess availability under the credit facility falls below the greater of $11.3 million or 15% of our maximum credit under the facility for sixty consecutive days; provided that, the restrictions described in (i)—(v) above are subject to certain exceptions and permissions limited in scope and dollar value. The loan and security agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and event of default provisions. As of June 30, 2012, we are in compliance with all covenants in the loan and security agreement.

The company recently entered into an amendment to the loan agreement governing our new credit facility, or the Second Amendment. Similar to the first amendment to the Loan Agreement, this Second Amendment modifies certain provisions of the Loan Agreement to, among other things, provide more flexibility on the Borrower Subsidiaries’ ability to enter into equipment leases, purchase money financings and insurance financing transactions. This amendment was effective on July 6, 2012 after the payment of an amendment fee.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable-trade, accounts receivable-related parties, accounts receivable – other, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable – trade, accounts payable – related parties, insurance notes, deposits on assets held for sale, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of third party notes and equipment notes, which approximate their carrying values, are based on current market rates at which the company could borrow funds with similar maturities.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which subject the Forbes Group to credit risk consist primarily of cash balances maintained in excess of federal depository insurance limits and trade receivables. All of our non-interest bearing cash balances were fully insured at June 30, 2012 due to a temporary federal program in effect from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012. Under the program, there is no limit to the amount of insurance for eligible accounts. Beginning 2013, insurance coverage will revert to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution, and our non-interest bearing cash balances may again exceed federally insured limits. The Forbes Group restricts investment of temporary cash investments to financial institutions with high credit standings. The Forbes Group’s customer base consists primarily of multi-national and independent oil and natural gas producers. The Forbes Group does not require collateral on its trade receivables. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 the Company's largest customer, five largest customers, and ten largest customers constituted 9.5%, 38.2%, and 58.9% of revenues, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 the Company's largest customer, five largest customers, and ten largest customers constituted 11.5%, 39.3%, 58.0% and of revenues, respectively. The loss of any one of our top five customers would have a negative impact on the revenues and profits of the company. Further, our trade accounts receivable are from companies within the oil and natural gas industry and as such the Forbes Group is exposed to normal industry credit risks. The Forbes Group continually evaluates its reserves for potential credit losses and establishes reserves for such losses.

Self-Insurance

The Forbes Group is self-insured under its Employee Group Medical Plan for the first $125,000 per individual plus a $235,000 aggregate specific deductible. Incurred and unprocessed claims as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 amount to approximately $4.7 and $3.9 million, respectively. These claims are unprocessed and therefore their values are estimated and included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

18

Litigation

The Forbes Group is subject to various other claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any of these claims and actions, separately or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although we cannot guarantee that a material adverse effect will not occur.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are often party to certain transactions that require off-balance sheet arrangements such as performance bonds, guarantees, operating leases for equipment, and bank guarantees that are not reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These arrangements are made in our normal course of business and they are not reasonably likely to have a current or future material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

12. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares, such as warrants, options and convertible preference shares, were exercised and converted into common shares. Potential common stock equivalents that have been issued by the Forbes Group relate to outstanding stock options and restricted stock which are determined using the treasury stock method, and the Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Series B Preferred Shares”), which are determined using the “if converted” method. In applying the if-converted method, conversion is not assumed for purposes of computing diluted EPS if the effect would be antidilutive. As of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, there were 2.0 million and 1.3 million options to purchase common shares outstanding, respectively and 588,059 Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Shares. The preferred stock is convertible at a rate of nine common shares to one Series B Preferred Share.

The Company has determined that the Series B Preferred Shares are participating securities under ASC 260. Under ASC 260, a security is considered a participating security if the security may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock, whether that participation is conditioned upon the occurrence of a specified event or not. In accordance with ASC 260, a company is required to use the two-class method when computing EPS when a company has a security that qualifies as a “participating security.” The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. A participating security is included in the computation of basic EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, basic EPS for the Company’s common shares is computed by dividing net income applicable to common shares by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Under the certificate of designation for our Series B Preferred Shares (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”), if at any time the Company declares a dividend in cash which is greater in value than five percent on a cumulative basis over the previous twelve month period of the then current “Common Share Fair Market Value,” as that term is defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation, the Series B Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive a dividend payable in cash equal to the amount in excess of five percent of the then Common Share Fair Market Value per common share they would have received if all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares had been converted into common shares. There were no earnings allocated to the Series B Preferred Shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 since

19

earnings for the quarter were not in excess of amounts prescribed by the Series B Certificate of Designation for our Series B Preferred Shares. Diluted EPS for the Company’s common shares is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the if-converted method. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Weighted average shares outstanding		21,055,642		20,918,400		21,020,628		20,918,400
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock		277,279		—		307,885		—
Dilutive effect of preferred shares		5,292,531		—		5,292,531		—
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		26,625,452		20,918,400		26,621,044		20,918,400

There were 1,997,925 shares subject to outstanding stock options and 83,332 restricted stock units outstanding as of June 30, 2012, and 5,292,531 common share equivalents underlying the Series B Preferred Shares that were included in the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. There were 1,305,000 million stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and 5,292,531 common share equivalents underlying the Series B Preferred Shares that were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 because their effect would have been antidilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Basic:
Net income (loss)	$	1,020,343		$	(24,694,702	)	$	7,362,953		$	(22,790,184	)

13. Income Taxes

The Company’s tax expense from application of the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was estimated to be 44.6% based on pre-tax income of $14.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s effective tax rate was 31.5%. The difference between the effective rate and 35.0% statutory rate is primarily related to changes in forecast, Texas Margins Tax and other non-deductible expenses.

The Forbes Group is subject to the Texas Margins Tax. The Texas Margins Tax is a tax equal to one percent of Texas-sourced revenue reduced by the greater of (a) cost of goods sold (as defined by Texas law), (b) compensation (as defined by Texas law) or (c) thirty percent of the Texas-sourced revenue. The Forbes Group accounts for the revised Texas Franchise tax in accordance with ASC 740, as the tax is derived from a taxable base that consists of income less deductible expenses. As of June 30, 2012, the estimated annual franchise tax expense is estimated to be approximately $0.8 million for 2012.

14. Business Segment Information

The Forbes Group has determined that it has two reportable segments organized based on its products and services—well servicing and fluid logistics and other. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Well Servicing

The well servicing segment consists of operations in the U.S. that provides (i) well maintenance, including remedial repairs and removal and replacement of down-hole production equipment, (ii) well workovers, including significant down-hole repairs, re-completions and re-perforations, (iii) completion and swabbing activities, and (iv) plugging and abandoning services. In addition, the Forbes Group has tubing testing units that are used to conduct pressure testing of oil and natural gas production tubing.

Fluid Logistics and Other

The fluid logistics and other segment consists of operations in the U.S., which provide, transport, store and dispose of a variety of drilling and produced fluids used in and generated by oil and natural gas production activities. These services are required in most work-over and completion projects and are routinely used in daily producing well operations. In the fiscal year 2010, the Company began providing site preparation services which were complementary to the traditional services offered by the Company. Wolverine Construction, Inc., a related party, was sub-contracted to complete such services. The Company ceased offering these services in June 2011. The following table sets forth certain financial information from continuing operations with respect to the Company’s reportable segments in (000)’s for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011:

16. Equity Securities

Common Stock

Holders of common stock have no pre-emptive, redemption, conversion, or sinking fund rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common stock. Unless a different majority is required by law or by the bylaws, resolutions to be approved by holders of common stock require approval by a simple majority of votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in the Company’s assets, if any, remaining after the payment of all of its debts and liabilities, subject to any liquidation preference on any issued and outstanding preferred stock.

Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock

Under our Certificate of Designation, we are authorized to issue 825,000 shares of Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Shares”), par value $0.01 per share. On May 28, 2010 the Company completed a private placement of 580,800 Series B Preferred Stock at a price per share of CAD $26.37 for an aggregate purchase price in the amount of USD $14,520,000 based on the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars then in effect of $1.00 to CDN $1.0547. The Company received net proceeds of USD $13,828,205 after closing fee paid to investors of $290,400 and legal fees and other offering costs of $401,395. This is presented as temporary equity on the balance sheet. The common stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible has certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights.

The Company paid a closing fee to the Investors of $290,400 which is netted with the proceeds from the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock in temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheet. The value of the Series B Preferred Stock, for accounting purposes, is being accreted up to redemption value from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the instrument using the effective interest rate method. If the Series B Preferred Stock had been redeemed as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the redemption amount would have been approximately $14.5 million in each instance.

30

Dividends

The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive preferential dividends equal to five percent (5%) per annum of the original issue price per share, payable quarterly in February, May, August and November of each year. Such dividends may be paid by the Company in cash or in kind (in the form of additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock). In the event that the payment in cash or in kind of any such dividend would cause the Company to violate a covenant under its debt agreements, the obligation to pay, in cash or in kind, will be suspended until the earlier to occur of (i) and only to the extent any restrictions under the debt agreements lapse or are no longer applicable or (ii) February 16, 2015. During any such suspension period, the preferential dividends shall continue to accrue and accumulate. As shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of our common stock, each dividend paid in kind will have a dilutive effect on our shares of common stock.

Preferred stock dividends are recorded at their fair value. If paid in cash, the amount paid represents fair value. If paid in kind, the fair value of the preferred stock dividends is determined using valuation techniques that include a component representing the intrinsic value of the dividends (which represents the fair value of the common stock into which the preferred stock could be converted) and an option component (which is determined using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model). Dividends and accretion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were $0.2 million and $0.4 million. Dividends for the quarterly periods ended November 28, 2011, February 28, 2011, and May 28, 2011 were not paid on the Series B preferred shares. Amounts were accrued representing the fair value of shares expected to be paid in kind.The Company had not paid these dividends in cash at that time due to certain restrictions in the indentures governing the Second Priority Notes and the First Priority Notes, and had not paid these dividends in-kind because the Toronto Stock Exchange had taken the position that, in light of the market price of the Company’s common shares, the issuance of additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock as a dividend in-kind would violate Toronto Stock Exchange rules regarding the issuance of discounted shares, unless the Company received shareholder approval for such an issuance (which we subsequently received). After the extinguishment of the Second Priority Notes and the First Priority Notes, the Company was no longer restricted from paying cash dividends as the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes specifically allowed cash dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock up to specific levels. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, cumulative preferred dividends were remeasured using the contractual 5% rate. An adjustment of $1.1 million and $0.2 million was reflected as a component of preferred shares dividends in the statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Since then, quarterly dividends have been paid in cash. The Company currently intends to pay all future dividends in cash.

17. Discontinued Operations

On January 12, 2012, the Company completed the previously announced sale of substantially all of its assets located in Mexico, as well as its equity interests in Forbes Energy Services México Servicios de Personal, S. de R.L. de C.V., for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $30 million (excluding amounts paid to cover certain Mexican taxes). The Company recognized a gain on disposal of approximately $3.5 million on this transaction.

The Company has retained a small office in Mexico, which will operate on a temporary basis while the Company collects outstanding receivables from PEMEX. In connection with the expiration of its contract with PEMEX, the Company expects the release of the performance bond posted in connection with such contract, which should result in approximately $13.6 million being released from restricted cash.

Overview

Forbes Energy Services Ltd., or FES Ltd, is an independent oilfield services contractor that provides a wide range of well site services to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies to help develop and enhance the production of oil and natural gas. These services include fluid hauling, fluid disposal, well maintenance, completion services, workovers and recompletions, plugging and abandonment, and tubing testing. Our operations are concentrated in the major onshore oil and natural gas producing regions of Texas, with additional locations in Mississippi, in Pennsylvania and, prior to the disposition of our Mexican assets in January 2012, which is discussed below, in Mexico. We believe that our broad range of services, which extends from initial drilling, through production, to eventual abandonment, is fundamental to establishing and maintaining the flow of oil and natural gas throughout the life cycle of our customers’ wells. Our headquarters and executive offices are located at 3000 South Business Hwy 281, Alice, Texas 78332. We can be reached by phone at (361) 664-0549.

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the “Company,” the “Forbes Group,” “we,” and “our” mean FES Ltd and its subsidiaries, except as otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial or operational data presented herein relates to our continuing operations, excluding our operations in Mexico, which were sold in January 2012.

We currently provide a wide range of services to a diverse group of companies. Through the six months ended June 30, 2012, we provided services to over 550 companies. Our blue-chip customer base includes Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Chesapeake Energy Corporation, ConocoPhillips Company, Rosetta Resources, Inc., and Shell Oil Company, among others. John E. Crisp, Charles C. Forbes, and our senior management team, have cultivated deep and ongoing relationships with these customers during their average of over 35 years of experience in the oilfield services industry. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we generated consolidated revenues of approximately $119.8 million and $251.3 million.

We currently conduct our operations through the following two business segments:

• Well Servicing. Our well servicing segment comprised 42.8% and 41.2% of consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, our well servicing segment utilized our modern fleet of 162 owned well servicing rigs, which included 152 workover rigs, 10 swabbing rigs, and related assets and equipment. These assets are used to provide (i) well maintenance, including remedial repairs and removal and replacement of downhole production equipment, (ii) well workovers, including significant downhole repairs, re-completions and re-perforations, (iii) completion and swabbing activities, and (iv) plugging and abandoning services. In addition, we have a fleet of nine tubing testing units that are used to conduct pressure testing of oil and natural gas production tubing.

• Fluid Logistics and Other. Our fluid logistics and other segment comprised 57.2% and 58.8% of consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. Our fluid logistics segment utilized our fleet of owned or leased fluid transport trucks and related assets, including specialized vacuum, high-pressure pump and tank trucks, frac tanks, water wells, salt water disposal wells and facilities, and related equipment. These assets are used to provide, transport, store, and dispose of a variety of drilling and produced fluids used in, and generated by, oil and natural gas production. These services are required in most workover and completion projects and are routinely used in daily operations of producing wells. Beginning in the fiscal year 2010, the Company began providing additional services in which Wolverine Construction, Inc., a related party, completed such services as a sub-contractor. These services involved site preparation and were complementary to the traditional services offered by the Company. The Company ceased offering these services in June 2011. Prior to such termination, we would pay Wolverine for their services and materials and then would bill the cost to the customer with a margin of approximately 5%. There was no revenue associated with the sub-contractor work for the three or six months ending June 30, 2012 and $2.0 million and $5.2 million for the three and six months ending June 30, 2011, respectively.

33

We believe that our two business segments are complementary and create synergies in terms of selling opportunities. Our multiple lines of service allow us to capitalize on our existing customer base to grow within existing markets, generate more business from existing customers, and increase our operating profits. By offering our customers the ability to reduce the number of vendors they use, we believe we help improve our customers’ efficiency. This is demonstrated by the fact that 81.6% and 80.5% of our revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 , respectively, were from customers that utilized services from both of our business segments. Further, by having multiple service offerings that span the life cycle of the well, we believe we have a competitive advantage over smaller competitors offering more limited services.

Factors Affecting Results of Operations

Oil and Natural Gas Prices

Demand for well servicing and fluid logistics services is generally a function of the willingness of oil and natural gas companies to make operating and capital expenditures to explore for, develop and produce oil and natural gas, which in turn is affected by current and anticipated levels of oil and natural gas prices. Exploration and production spending is generally categorized as either operating expenditures or capital expenditures. Activities by oil and natural gas companies designed to add oil and natural gas reserves are classified as capital expenditures, and those associated with maintaining or accelerating production, such as workover and fluid logistics services, are categorized as operating expenditures. Operating expenditures are typically more stable than capital expenditures and are less sensitive to oil and natural gas price volatility. In contrast, capital expenditures by oil and natural gas companies for drilling are more directly influenced by current and expected oil and natural gas prices and generally reflect the volatility of commodity prices.

Workover Rig Rates

Our well servicing segment revenues are dependent on the prevailing market rates for workover rigs. Rates and utilization for workover rigs increased in March 2010 through the third quarter of 2011, then rates and utilization stabilized in the fourth quarter 2011 and have continued through the first half of 2012.

Fluid Logistics Rates

Our fluid logistics and other segment revenues are dependent on the prevailing market rates for fluid transport trucks and the related assets, including specialized vacuum, high-pressure pump and tank trucks, frac tanks and salt water disposal wells. Pricing and utilization increased in the latter portion of the first quarter 2010 and have generally continued, although at a slower rate of increase in recent quarters. In fact, rates stabilized during the second half of 2011 and through the first half of 2012.

Operating Expenses

Utilization and demand increased in 2010 and 2011 and the first half of 2012, we have experienced cost pressures in areas such as labor where we have incurred additional cost increases primarily in the form of increased pay rates. So far, we have been able to cover these increased costs through rate increases passed on to our customers. Future earnings and cash flows will be dependent on our ability to manage our overall cost structure and either maintain our existing prices or obtain price increases from our customers as our operating costs increase.

Equipment rental cost continues to be a significant component of our operating expenses. As described in the following paragraph, we made certain capital expenditures in the first half of 2012 that are intended to replace certain leased or rented equipment. Nevertheless, we expect that we will continue to meet certain equipment needs through rental or leasing arrangements and, to that end, in the first half of 2012, we entered into operating leases with respect to 70 additional vacuum trucks, 11 vacuum trailers, 17 support trucks and a transport trailer for the coiled tubing units.

Capital Expenditures

During the first half of 2012 we purchased three 550 horsepower well service rig and related equipment, four pump-down units, 1,235 frac tanks, eight vacuum trucks and eight salt water disposal wells. capital expenditures for the six months ended june 30, 2012 were $91.3 million. Certain of these purchased assets are intended either to take the place of equipment that the Company had been leasing or renting or to allow the Company to provide services to customers that it had previously offered through third party contractors. Other purchases were made to increase the Company’s overall capacity. In addition to the assets purchased in the first half of 2012, as of July, the Company has also placed orders for additional equipment, including five coil tubing spreads and related equipment that should be delivered in the third and fourth quarters of 2012, the first of which was received in July. The aggregate purchase price of this additional equipment on order is approximately $32 million. Other than equipment on order that has not yet been delivered, the Company does not plan on making any further significant capital expenditures in the immediate future.

34

We plan to finance some of the remaining equipment on order, including four additional coil tubing units, pursuant to an agreement with Regions Equipment Finance Corporation and Regions Commercial Equipment Finance, LLC, collectively, Regions Finance, discussed in further detail below. However, this agreement does not constitute a commitment to finance any additional operating lease or loan schedules. Nevertheless, we believe that our cash flows from operations and availability under our $75 million revolving credit facility, on their own, will be sufficient to fund or otherwise satisfy the obligations related to this equipment on order.

Operating Income Margins

We have experienced less margin pressure on our fluid logistics and other segment, which resulted in more favorable margins in that segment relative to the well servicing segment and this continues through the current period. A significant portion of the additional activity in the fluid logistics and other segment relates to expanded fracing operations in our market areas.

Presentation

The following discussion and analysis is presented on a consolidated basis to reflect the results of continuing operations and financial condition of the Forbes Group. The financial information as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 is presented on a consolidated basis for FES Ltd and its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial or operational data presented herein relates to our continuing operations, excluding our operations in Mexico, which were sold in January 2012. Notwithstanding the foregoing, financial information regarding cash flows presented herein includes cash flows from our discontinued operations.

Results of Operations

The following discussion, as well as the discussion found under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” compares our consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

Consolidated Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, revenues increased by $9.0 million, or 8.1%, to $119.8 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. This is a direct result of increased utilization in our well servicing segment in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Well Servicing—Revenues from the well servicing segment increased by $9.3 million for the period, or 22.1% to $51.3 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Of this increase, approximately 23.3% was due to increased prices and 76.7% was due to increased rig hours for well services. We utilized 162 well service rigs as of June 30, 2012 and 2011. The average rate charged per hour during the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 increased approximately 4.4%. Average utilization of our well service rigs during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 was 91.0% and 80.4%, respectively, based on a twelve hour day, working five days a week, except holidays in the U.S.

Fluid Logistics and Other—Revenues from the fluid logistics segment and other for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $0.3 million, or 0.5%, to $68.5 million compared to the prior year primarily due to the cessation of the other contract services performed in the second quarter of 2011, but not in the second quarter of 2012. This decrease was offset by an increase in revenues from our core operating activities, in line with general industry trends. Our principal fluid logistics assets at June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 were as follows:

	June 30				% Increase
	2012		2011		(Decrease)
Fluid logistics and other segment:
Vacuum trucks		475		356		33.4	%
High-pressure pump trucks		21		19		10.5	%
Other heavy trucks		84		61		37.7	%
Frac tanks		3,114		1,400		122.4	%
Salt water disposal wells		23		15		53.3	%

Consolidated Operating Expenses—Our operating expenses increased to $86.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $85.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $1.7 million, or 2.0%, due to

35

increases in utilization. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 72.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 76.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in operating expense as a percentage of our revenues is generally attributable to increases in utilization.

Well Servicing—Operating expenses from the well servicing segment increased by $3.1 million, or 8.9%, to $37.5 million. Well servicing operating expenses as a percentage of well servicing revenues were 73.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 81.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of 8.8%. This increase in operating expense as a percentage of revenue was due to an increase in utilization to 91.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from 80.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, which allowed the Company to spread its fixed costs over greater revenues, thereby increasing the gross margin. The large portion of the increase in expenses was due to the increase in employee count and resulted in an increase in labor of $3.6 million, or 23.2% to $19.4 million. The employee count at June 30, 2012 was 1,106, compared to 961 employees as of June 30, 2011. Fuel expense increased by $1.1 million or 45.3% due to an increase rig hours. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the rental of equipment of $1.7 million or 79.0% due to the rigs purchased from AES, a related party, that were previously leased. The remaining $0.1 million is related to various expenses and is in line with management’s expectations.

Fluid Logistics and Other—Operating expenses from the fluid logistics and other segment decreased by $1.3 million, or 2.6%, to $49.4 million. Fluid logistics operating expenses as a percentage of fluid logistics revenues were 72.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 73.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in fluid logistics and other operating expenses of $1.3 million was partially due to a decrease in contract services cost of $6.7 million, or 78.3% to $1.9 million, when compared to the same period in the prior year. Rent equipment expense decreased $1.7 million or 27.3%, to $4.4 million. Both of these expenses decreased due to the acquisition of additional equipment to satisfy customer demand and decreasing the need to utilize outside services. The decrease in contract services also includes the Company terminating services in June of 2011 where Wolverine Construction, Inc., a related party, completed services as a sub-contractor. This decrease in contract services was partially offset by the increase in labor costs of $4.1 million, or 29.7% to $18.0 million as a direct result of workforce headcount increases. The employee count at June 30, 2012 was 1,217, as compared with 941 employees as of June 30, 2011. Supplies and parts expense increased $0.6 million or 629.7%, to $0.7 million. Fuel costs increased $0.5 million, or 6.6% to $8.6 million. Insurance costs increased $0.5 million, or 46.7% to $1.5 million. The remaining $1.4 million relates to various expenses in line with management’s expectations.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses from the consolidated operations decreased by approximately $5.0 million, or 38.4%, to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. General and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues was 6.7% and 11.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The decrease of $5.0 million was due to additional expense of $6.9 million associated with a litigation settlement and the related legal fees incurred in 2011, which was offset by a net increase in compensation expense of approximately $1.6 million. Compensation expense for the current quarter included discretionary management bonuses of approximately $0.3 million and an accrual of approximately $0.6 million to reflect an estimate of the quarterly expense related to a newly implemented, performance based, management bonus plan.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $2.9 million, or 30.6%, to $12.5 million. The additional depreciation expense resulted from capital expenditures, including those incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2012 which were $37.6 million compared to $23.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Interest and Other Expenses. Interest and other expenses decreased by approximately $35.4 million from the three months ended June 30, 2011 to the current quarter due to the loss on early extinguishment of debt resulting from the retirement of the First and Second Priority Notes. This financing cost was comprised of a penalty on the early redemption of the First Priority Notes of $0.6 million, total unamortized deferred financing charges written off in connection with the redemption of First and Second Priority Notes of $10.4 million and tender purchase price premium and consent fee related to the Second Priority Notes of $24.4 million.

Income Taxes. We recognized an income tax expense of $3.0 million and a benefit of $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2012 is 52.7% due to higher earnings in the quarter, non-deductible expenses, and related Texas margins tax.

Discontinued Operations—We recorded a net loss from discontinued operations of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to net income from discontinued operations of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in net income relates mainly to the winding down of operations in Mexico including bad debt expense of approximately $1.5 million. See Note 17—

36

Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

Consolidated Revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, revenues increased by $45.8 million, or 22.3%, to $251.3 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. This is a result of increased utilization in both our well servicing and fluid logistics segments in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Well Servicing—Revenues from the well servicing segment increased by $25.1 million for the six month period, or 32.0% to $103.6 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Of this increase, approximately 27.4% was due to increased prices and 72.6% was due to increased rig hours for well services. We utilized 162 well service rigs as of June 30, 2012 and 172 well service rigs as of June 30, 2011. The average rate charged per hour during the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 increased approximately 7.3%. Average utilization of our well service rigs during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 was 93.4% and 76.2% , respectively, based on a twelve hour day, working five days a week, except holidays in the U.S.

Fluid Logistics and Other—Revenues from the fluid logistics segment and other for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased by $20.7 million, or 16.3%, to $147.7 million compared to the prior year, as a result of the general industry increase in pricing and activity. Our revenue increased $20.7 million due to an increase in rates of approximately 1.2% in the six months ended June 2012 compared to the six months ended June 2011 and the remainder was due to an increase in hours offset in part by the cessation of the other contract services performed in the first half of 2011, but not in the first half of 2012.

Consolidated Operating Expenses—Our operating expenses increased to $180.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $157.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $23.7 million, or 15.1%, due to increases in utilization. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 71.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 76.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in operating expense as a percentage of our revenues is generally attributable to increases in utilization and pricing. The Company was able to increase customer rates in amounts adequate to offset additional operating cost as well as increase margins.

Well Servicing—Operating expenses from the well servicing segment increased by $12.4 million, or 19.3%, to $76.5 million. Well servicing operating expenses as a percentage of well servicing revenues were 73.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 81.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of 7.9%. The large portion of the increase in expenses was due to the increase in employee count and resulted in an increase in labor of $9.1 million, an increase in insurance premiums of $1.2 million, and an increase in safety expense of $0.4 million. The employee count at June 30, 2012 was 1,106 compared to 961 employees as of June 30, 2011. Fuel expense increased by $2.1 million or 44.2% due to an increase in rig hours in conformity with increased activity levels for the industry. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the rental of equipment of $1.7 million or 58.9% due to the rigs purchased from AES, a related party, that were previously leased. The contract labor expense increased $1.3 million or 341.2% due to increase in rig count, rig hours and labor hours for the P & A division.

Fluid Logistics and Other—Operating expenses from the fluid logistics and other segment increased by $11.3 million, or 12.2%, to $104.2 million. Fluid logistics operating expenses as a percentage of fluid logistics revenues were 70.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 73.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in fluid logistics and other operating expenses of $11.5 million was partially due to an increase in labor costs of $9.4 million, or 36.2% to $35.5 million as a direct result of workforce headcount increases. The employee count at June 30, 2012 was 1,217, as compared with 941 employees as of June 30, 2011. Contract services cost decreased $7.4 million, or 47.8% to $8.1 million, when compared to the same period in the prior year due to the acquisition of additional equipment to satisfy customer demand and decreasing the need to utilize outside services. The decrease in contract services also includes the Company terminating services in June of 2011 where Wolverine Construction, Inc., a related party, completed services as a sub-contractor. Fuel costs increased $2.4 million, or 16.5% to $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, due to fuel price increase of 4.9% and higher activity in drilling and well services when compared to the same period in the prior year. Repairs and maintenance cost increased $1.9 million, or 19.8% to $11.5 million as a result of activity increases. Insurance cost increased $1.3 million, or 70.5% to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, when compared to the same period in the prior year due to headcount increases and acquisition of additional equipment. Tire cost increased $1.1 million, or 59.0% to $2.9 million also due to acquisition of additional equipment. Supplies and parts costs increased $0.8 million, or 551.7% to $1.0 million. The remaining $2.0 million change is related to various expenses that were consistent with the activity of the business.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses from consolidated operations decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 0.3%, to $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. General and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues was 7.5% and 9.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The decrease of $0.1 million was due to a decrease litigation, settlement, and legal fees of $6.9 million, which was offset by an increase in compensation expense of approximately $5.6 million in the first half of 2012 related mainly to discretionary management bonuses of approximately $2.1 million, expense of approximately $1.3 million related to a newly implemented, performance based, management bonus plan and stock compensation expense of $1.8 million due to the issuance of stock options and restricted stock. The balance of the increase was in line with the normal growth of the business.

37

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $4.7 million, or 24.3%, to $23.9 million. Capital expenditures incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $91.3 million compared to $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Interest and Other Expenses. Interest and other expenses decreased by approximately $35.4 million due to the loss of $35.4 million on early extinguishment of debt due to the retirement of the First and Second Priority Notes and was comprised of a penalty on the early redemption of the First Priority Notes of $0.6 million, total unamortized deferred financing charges written off in connection with the redemption of First and Second Priority Notes of $10.4 million and tender purchase price premium and consent fee related to the Second Priority Notes of $24.4 million.

Income Taxes. We recognized an income tax expense of $6.3 million and a benefit of $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is 44.6% due to higher earnings in the quarter, non-deductible expenses, and related Texas margins tax.

Discontinued Operations—We recorded a net loss from discontinued operations of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to a net income from discontinued operations of $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in net income relates to the winding down of operations in Mexico. See Note 17—

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

In June 2011, we issued $280.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes. We used a substantial portion of the proceeds from such offering to purchase or redeem all outstanding Second Priority Notes and First Priority Notes.

On September 9, 2011, we entered into a loan and security agreement with certain lenders and Regions Bank, as agent for the secured parties, or the Agent. The loan and security agreement provides for an asset based revolving credit facility with a maximum initial credit of $75.0 million, subject to, as described in more detail in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, borrowing base availability, any reserves established by the facility agent in its discretion and, if availability under the facility falls below certain thresholds, compliance with certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2012, $67.3 million was available under this new credit facility.

Two subsidiaries of FES Ltd, TX Energy Services, LLC and C.C. Forbes, LLC, entered into that certain Master Agreement dated as of June 6, 2012 with Regions Equipment Finance Corporation and Regions Commercial Equipment Finance, LLC, collectively, Regions Finance. Subsequently, these subsidiaries have entered into various operating lease and loan schedules under this Master Agreement to finance recent acquisitions of a coil tubing unit, trucks, trailers and other related equipment. Concurrently with the funding of each of these schedules, Regions Finance provided notice to the TES and CCF that they had assigned their rights and obligations thereunder to a third party. These operating lease or loan schedules have been assigned to CapitalSource Bank, NewStar Equipment Finance I, LLC, CIT Bank, CapitalSource Bank and the United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York. FES Ltd has agreed to guaranty the obligations under these schedules pursuant to that certain Guaranty Agreement dated as of June 6, 2012, between the Company and Regions Finance.

The term for both the operating lease and loan schedules varies from 48 months to 60 months, with the term for the operating leases automatically extending for consecutive additional two-month periods unless either party provides notice of termination. Further, under the operating lease schedules, we have the right to purchase the property subject to each lease schedule at fair market value, which is determined by a formula set forth in each schedule. The aggregate amount funded under all the loan schedules pursuant to the Master Agreement is approximately $3.8 million and the aggregate lease payments under all the operating lease schedules pursuant to the Master Agreement is approximately $8.1million.

The indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes and the loan agreement governing our senior secured revolving credit facility impose significant restrictions on us and increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions that could limit our ability to obtain additional or replacement financing. For example, the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes only allows us to incur indebtedness, other than certain specific types of permitted indebtedness, if such indebtedness is unsecured and if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in each indenture) for the most recently completed four full fiscal quarters is at least 2.0 to 1.0. We are currently able to incur indebtedness under this ratio. Our new credit facility only allows us to incur specific types of permitted indebtedness, which includes a $40.0 million basket of permitted indebtedness for capital leases, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations incurred for the purpose of installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment.

38

Our inability to satisfy our obligations under the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes, the loan agreement governing our credit facility and any future debt agreements we may enter into could constitute an event of default under one or more of such agreements. Further, due to cross-default provisions in our debt agreements, a default and acceleration of our outstanding debt under one debt agreement may result in the default and acceleration of outstanding debt under the other debt agreements. Accordingly, an event of default could result in all or a portion of our outstanding debt becoming immediately due and payable. If this should occur, we might not be able to obtain waivers or secure alternative financing to satisfy all of our obligations simultaneously. Given the state of global events, our ability to access the capital markets or to consummate any asset sales might be restricted at a time when we would like or need to raise capital. These events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows and our ability to satisfy our obligations.

Within certain constraints, we can conserve capital by reducing or delaying capital expenditures, deferring non-regulatory maintenance expenditures and further reducing operating and administrative costs.

We have historically funded our operations, including capital expenditures, with bank borrowings, vendor financings, cash flow from operations, the issuance of senior notes, and the proceeds from our Canadian initial public equity offering and simultaneous U.S. private placement, our October 2008 and December 2009 common stock offerings, and our May 2010 Series B Preferred Stock private placement.

As of June 30, 2012, we had $297.3 million in total outstanding debt. As of June 30, 2012, we had 588,059 outstanding Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Shares which is reflected in the balance sheet as temporary equity in an amount of $14.5 million. The preferred stock is redeemable for cash or common stock at 95% of the fair market value of the common stock as determined in accordance with the certificate of designation of the Series B Preferred Stock in May 2017.

As of June 30, 2012, we had $9.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, $291.3 million in long-term debt outstanding, $6.0 million in short-term debt outstanding, and $14.8 million of short-term equipment vendor financings for well servicing rigs and other equipment included in accounts payable. Our $6.0 million of short-term debt consisted of $3.6 million payable to equipment lenders under various installment notes, and $2.4 million payable related to financing of our insurance premiums over the term of the insurance coverage. We incurred $37.6 million for capital equipment acquisitions during the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $23.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Capital equipment added for the six months ended June 30, 2012 includes three well service rigs and related equipment, four pump down units, 1,235 frac tanks, eight vacuum trucks, and eight salt water disposal wells. These items were funded from cash flows from operations and financing.

Although additional equipment will be received through the second half 2012 based on outstanding orders, in May 2012 management stopped making further orders for vacuum trucks, trailers, and frac tanks based on a review of customer demand relative to the current levels of equipment the Company has available for servicing these customers. The Company has five coil tubing spreads on order. The first coil tubing spread arrived in July 2012 and the remaining four will be received before year end. There are no other significant capital expenditures anticipated for 2012.

We project that cash flows from operations, the Regions equipment Master Agreement, and availability under our revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our operating needs and working capital requirements over the next twelve months.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies development and production activities. Sustained increases or decreases in the price of natural gas or oil could have a material impact on these activities, and could also materially affect our cash flows. Certain sources and uses of cash, such as the level of discretionary capital expenditures, purchases and sales of investments, issuances and repurchases of debt and of our common shares are within our control and are adjusted as necessary based on market conditions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $44.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The increase in cash provided by operating activities was $67.9 million for the six months ending June 30, 2012 primarily due to an increase in net income of $30.2 million due to a general improvement in industry conditions, a decrease in the change in accounts receivable of $66.7 million due in part to the sale of our Mexico operations, and a decrease in the deferred tax benefit of $18.2 million. These increased cash flows from operting activities were offset by a decrease in the change in accounts payable of $21.8 million as the company reduced the amount of equipment in accounts payable and a decrease in the change in accrued expenses of $21.9 million mainly resulting from the sale of our Mexico operations.

39

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities was $75.7 million for the six months ending June 30, 2012 compared to $30.2 million for the same period in 2011. The change was primarily related to a change in the purchase of property and equipment which increased $65.9 million from the six months ended June 30, 2011 to the current period. The increased capital expenditures were offset by $14.3 million in cash received in the current period related to hte sale of our Mexico operations and other miscellaneous pieces of equipment. The Company purchased three well service rigs and related equipment, four pump down units, 1,235 frac tanks, eight vacuum trucks, and eight salt water disposal wells during the first half of 2012.

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $3.7 million compared to $57.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The primary reasons for these changes were due to the payoff of the first and second priority notes and the proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes and their issuance costs in the second quarter of 2011 and the proceeds from borrowings on the revolving credit facility in the second quarter of 2012 of $6.0 million.

Cash Flows From Discontinued Operations

Cash flows used in discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $6.5 million, compared to $0.9 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase was due to the expenses associated with the winding down of our operations in Mexico, bad debt expense, and the payment of outstanding payables and other liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are often party to certain transactions that require off-balance sheet arrangements such as performance bonds, guarantees, operating leases for equipment, and bank guarantees that are not reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These arrangements are made in our normal course of business and they are not reasonably likely to have a current or future material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations and Financing

On May 28, 2017, the Company is required to redeem any of its Series B Preferred Shares then outstanding. Such mandatory redemption may, at the Company’s election, be paid in cash or Common Shares (valued for such purpose at 95% of the then fair market value of the Common Shares). As of June 30, 2012 we had 588,059 Series B Preferred Shares outstanding.

Seasonality

Our operations are impacted by seasonal factors. Historically, our business has been negatively impacted during the winter months due to inclement weather, fewer daylight hours, and holidays. Our well servicing rigs are mobile, and we operate a significant number of oilfield vehicles. During periods of heavy snow, ice or rain, we may not be able to move our equipment between locations, thereby reducing our ability to generate rig or truck hours. In addition, the majority of our well servicing rigs work only during daylight hours. In the winter months when daylight time becomes shorter, this reduces the amount of time that the well servicing rigs can work and, therefore, has a negative impact on total hours worked. Finally, during the fourth quarter, we historically have experienced significant slowdowns during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the applicable reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates, particularly those related to depreciation and amortization methods, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, and asset retirement obligations, using currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to financial, market and economic risks. Changes in interest rates may result in changes in the fair market value of our financial instruments, interest income and interest expense. Our financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk are long-term borrowings. The following discussion provides information regarding our exposure to the risks of changing interest rates and fluctuating currency exchange rates.

40

Our primary debt obligations are the outstanding 9% Senior Notes and the new credit facility. Changes in interest rates do not affect interest expense incurred on our 9% Senior Notes as such notes bear interest at a fixed rate. However, changes in interest rates would affect their fair values. In general, the fair market value of debt with a fixed interest rate will increase as interest rates fall. Conversely, the fair market value of debt will decrease as interest rates rise. A hypothetical change in interest rates of 10% relative to interest rates as of June 30 2012 would have no impact on our interest expense for the 9% Senior Notes.

Our revolving credit facility has a variable interest rate and, therefore, is subject to interest rate risk. As of August 10, 2012, we had no amounts drawn on this facility. For this reason, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt would not result in significant additional annual interest expense.

Historically, we have not been exposed to significant foreign currency fluctuation; however, during 2010 our Mexican operations changed its functional currency from the U.S. dollar to the Mexican peso. This exposed us to certain risks typically associated with foreign currency fluctuation as our operations in Mexico collected revenues and paid expenses in Mexico. On January 12, 2012, we completed the disposition of substantially all of our assets and business located in Mexico. Nevertheless, we continue to collect receivables from our operations previous in Mexico. As of June 30, 2012, a 10% unfavorable change in the Mexican peso-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate would not materially impact our consolidated balance sheet. To date, we have not taken any action to hedge against any foreign currency rate fluctuations and, as we have sold our operations in Mexico, we do not expect we will be subject to material foreign currency risk in the near future.

We have not entered into any derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce market risk or for speculative purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. See “Material Weakness” below.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the remediation measure described below under “Remediation” no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(f) and 15d- 15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Material Weakness

In connection with the preparation of the Forbes Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, we identified control deficiencies that constitute a material weakness in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting. The following material weakness was present at December 31, 2011 and continues to exist.

• We did not design or maintain effective controls over the billing process to ensure timely recognition of revenue. Specifically, we identified field tickets, which represented completed but unbilled revenue that had not been entered resulting in a post-closing adjustment.

41

This control deficiency could result in a future material misstatement to the annual or interim combined financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, we have determined that the above control deficiency represents a material weakness.

Remediation

As mentioned above, we have identified a material weakness that existed as of June 30, 2012 in our internal control over the billing cycle.

We have modified the design of our information system, processes and procedures which we believe addresses the material weakness. The new processes and procedures have been communicated to senior management and to the field personnel. Testing will begin in the third quarter to monitor compliance.

EX-10.3

MASTER AGREEMENT

THIS MASTER AGREEMENT, dated as of June 6, 2012 (this “Master Agreement”), is among: (a) TX Energy Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, file number 4379582, and C.C. Forbes, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, file number 4379586, (each a “Company” and collectively, the “Companies”), each with a principal place of business at 3000 South Business Highway 281, Alice, Texas and (b) REGIONS EQUIPMENT FINANCE CORPORATION, an Alabama corporation (“REFCO”), and REGIONS COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT FINANCE, LLC, an Alabama limited liability company (“RCEF”) both with an office at 1900 Fifth Avenue North, Suite 2400, Birmingham, Alabama 35203. Certain definitions and constructions of terms used in this Master Agreement are provided in Section XIV hereof.

I. General Provisions. This Master Agreement contains provisions under which REFCO, RCEF or one of their Affiliates will from time to time lease to the Companies, or provide financing for the Companies to acquire, fixed assets that are secured by liens in such fixed assets (collectively, the “Equipment” and each individually, an “Item”). This Equipment shall be described on each equipment schedule incorporating the terms of this Master Agreement (each, a “Schedule”). Schedules may document a “true lease” pursuant to which REFCO, RCEF or an Executing Affiliate (as defined below) will be the owner of the Equipment for all purposes. Schedules may document a financing whereby a Company will be the owner of the Equipment and REFCO, RCEF or an Executing Affiliate will be granted a security interest in the Equipment as collateral for a Company’s obligations and those transactions may be documented either as “leases intended as security” or as “equipment financing agreements.” Each Schedule shall constitute a separate agreement and the terms “Agreement” or “this Agreement” refer to each Schedule and this Master Agreement as incorporated therein. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, the term “Regions” shall mean: (a) REFCO with respect to all Schedules executed by REFCO; (b) RCEF with respect to all Schedules executed by RCEF; and (c) the applicable Executing Affiliate with respect to all Schedules executed by such Executing Affiliate. One or more Schedules incorporating the terms of this Master Agreement may be executed by one or more Affiliates (including subsidiaries) of Regions Bank (each such Affiliate executing a Schedule shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Executing Affiliate”). For the purposes of avoiding any doubt as to the intention of the parties: (i) the terms of this Master Agreement and any and all addenda, amendments or other modifications hereto shall apply to each Schedule executed by such Executing Affiliate as if such Executing Affiliate were a party to this Master Agreement; provided, however, that, except with respect to the provisions of Section XV regarding liens as to which this Master Agreement shall govern, the express terms of any Schedule shall supersede any contrary terms in this Master Agreement; and (ii) any reference herein to a “Schedule” or an “Agreement” shall include each Schedule executed by an Executing Affiliate which incorporates this Master Agreement, together with this Master Agreement and any and all addenda, amendments or other modifications thereto, to the extent related to such Schedules executed by such Executing Affiliate. This Master Agreement is not a legal commitment to enter into any Schedule and, after executing a Schedule, Regions shall have no obligation to purchase or finance any Equipment until receipt by Regions of all documentation requested by Regions. Each Agreement may be terminated or prepaid only if and as expressly provided therein.

The Companies’ obligation to pay all Payments and other amounts due under each Agreement is absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, shall be paid and performed by Company without notice or demand and without any abatement, reduction, diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever, including any past, present or future claims that the Companies may have against Regions, any Supplier or any other person or entity whatsoever.

No such theft, taking, damage, loss or destruction shall relieve the Companies from its obligations to make Payments except as expressly provided in this Section. In the event that any Item is missing, taken or has been damaged in any significant way, the Companies shall promptly (and in any event within ten business (10) days) give Regions written notice and details of any such event and the Companies’ plans regarding the same. If any Item is in Regions’ judgment stolen, taken or damaged in any material respect (each, a “Casualty Occurrence”), the Companies shall promptly at Regions’ election, either: (a) place such Items in good repair and working order; or (b) promptly pay to Regions an amount calculated by Regions on the date when the next Periodic Payment is due (the “Payment Date”) to be equal to the “Casualty Value” for such Items as set forth on the applicable Schedule.

In the event of damage to any Item which is not a Casualty Occurrence, the Companies shall promptly place such items in good repair and working order, Reasonable Wear and Tear excepted. Any proceeds other than insurance proceeds (including proceeds of condemnation or requisition) received by Regions or the Companies as the result of a Casualty Occurrence with respect to any Item shall be applied at Regions’ election, in whole or in part, to (a) repair or replace such Item or any part thereof, or (b) satisfy any obligation of the Companies to Regions hereunder or under any Agreement.

The Companies hereby appoint Regions as the Companies’ attorney-in-fact with respect to claims relating to this Agreement or the Equipment under policies of insurance maintained in accordance with the terms hereof. The Companies agree to deliver to Regions evidence of compliance with this Section VII satisfactory to Regions, including any requested copies of policies, certificates and endorsements, with premium receipts therefor, on or before the date of execution by the Companies of the applicable Schedule and thereafter within five (5) business days after Regions’ request.

If for any reason Regions determines that any Lien is not a Permitted Lien, Company will pay within five (5) business days after receipt of notice from Regions, the Casualty Value of the Equipment affected by such Lien.

X. Rights and Remedies upon Default. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Regions shall have any and all rights and remedies existing at law or in equity and shall have the right, at its sole election, at any time to exercise any or all of such remedies concurrently, successively or separately, without notice to the Companies (unless specifically stated in this Agreement). Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Regions may at its election declare any or all Schedules to be in default and exercise any and all rights and remedies specified in the applicable Schedule(s) as well as the following rights and remedies: (i) proceed at law or in equity to enforce specifically the Companies’ performance or to recover damages; (ii) require the Companies to immediately assemble, make available and if requested by Regions return the Equipment (or, if so requested, any Items designated by Regions) to Regions at a time and place designated by Regions; (iii) enter any premises where any Item may be located and repossess, disable or take possession of such Item (and/or any attached or unattached parts) by self-help, summary proceedings or otherwise without liability for rent, costs, damages or otherwise; (iv) use the Companies’ premises for storage without rent or liability; (v) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Equipment or such Items at private or public sale, in bulk or in parcels, with or without notice except to the extent required by applicable law, and without having the Equipment or such Items present at the place of sale; (vi) disable or keep idle all or part of the Equipment or such Items; or (vii) accelerate the Companies’ obligations and recover from the Companies an amount equal to the sum of the following (the “Required Default Amount”): (A) the “Base Default

3

Amount” set forth in the applicable Schedule; (B) all costs and expenses incurred by Regions in any repossession, transportation, recovery, storage, refurbishing, advertising, repair, sale, re-lease, or other disposition of the Equipment or Regions enforcement of its rights hereunder, including Attorneys’ Fees and any brokers’ or similar fees or any other fees, costs or expenses resulting from the Event of Default; plus (C) interest on the amounts due in Sections X(a)(vii) (A) and (B) from the date due until paid at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is lower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section IX(d) or (e) above, the Companies’ obligations hereunder shall automatically accelerate and the Companies shall be deemed to immediately owe to Regions, without notice or demand from Regions, the Required Default Amount. The Companies expressly acknowledge that this Agreement sets forth a reasonable amount and reasonable formula for calculation of liquidated damages in light of the anticipated harm caused by any default by the Companies hereunder and that such harm would otherwise be difficult or impossible to calculate or ascertain.

(b) In the event the Companies pay to Regions the Required Default Amount and any and all other amounts due and payable to Regions hereunder as a result of the Event of Default (in good, collected and indefeasible funds) prior to the date Regions enters into a contract or otherwise determines that it is obligated to a third party with respect to the disposition of the Equipment, Regions shall release its security interest in the Equipment or transfer to the Companies (without recourse, representation or warranty, “AS IS, WHERE IS”) any right, title or interest Regions may have in such Equipment. In the event Regions disposes of the Equipment, it shall apply the Net Proceeds (as hereinafter defined) to the Companies’ obligations in the order Regions determines. As used herein, the term “Net Proceeds” shall mean: (i) in the case of a purchase of the Equipment in immediately available funds by the purchaser, the amount received by Regions from said purchaser; or (ii) in the case of a purchase of the Equipment which Regions finances pursuant to a lease intended as security or other equipment finance arrangement or in the case of a disposition pursuant to a true lease (any such leases or finance agreements being referred to hereinafter as a “Replacement Agreement”), an amount equal to the sum of all non-cancellable periodic payments and any purchase election, purchase requirement or balloon payment set forth in the Replacement Agreement, discounted to present value at the implicit rate of the Replacement Agreement as determined by Regions.

(c) With respect to any exercise by Regions of its right to dispose of the Equipment or any Items, Company acknowledges and agrees that Regions shall have no obligation, subject to any legal requirements of commercial reasonableness, to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Equipment or any Items for disposition; Regions may comply with any state or federal law requirements that Regions deems to be applicable or prudent to follow in connection with any such disposition; and any actions taken in connection therewith shall not be deemed to have adversely affected the commercial reasonableness of any such disposition. If Equipment delivered to or picked up by Regions contains goods or other property not constituting of Equipment, Company agrees that Regions may take such other goods or property, provided that Regions makes reasonable efforts to make such goods or property available to Company after repossession upon Company’s written request.

(d) If, after an Event of Default, this Agreement is placed in the hands of an attorney, collection agent or other professional for collection of Payments or enforcement of any other right or remedy of Regions, the Companies shall pay all Attorneys’ Fees and associated costs and expenses. Forbearance as to any Event of Default shall not be deemed a waiver, all waivers to be enforceable only if specifically provided in writing by Regions, and waiver of any Event of Default shall not be a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Companies hereby waive any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise that may require Regions to sell, lease or otherwise use any Equipment in mitigation of Regions’ damages set forth in this Agreement or that may otherwise limit or modify any of Regions’ rights or remedies set forth in this Agreement.

XI. Indemnification. The Companies hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold REFCO, RCEF, each Executing Affiliate and each other Affiliate, including Regions Bank (and at Regions’ election, any and all employees, agents, directors, partners, shareholders, officers, members of the foregoing and any assignee or secured party of Regions), harmless from and against: (a) all claims, allegations, demands, suits, actions, and legal proceedings incurred incident to, arising out of, or in any way connected with, this Agreement, any Schedule, any Item, or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, including arbitration, mediation, bankruptcy and appeal and including any claims, demands, suits and legal proceedings arising out of (i) the actual or alleged manufacture, purchase, financing, ownership, delivery, rejection, non-delivery, possession, use, transportation, storage, operation, maintenance, repair, return or other disposition of the Equipment; (ii) the existence of latent and other defects (whether or not discoverable by the Companies or Regions); (iii) patent, trademark or copyright infringement; or (iv) any alleged or actual default by any Company (all of the foregoing are referred to as “Actions”); and (b) any and all penalties, losses, liabilities (including the liability of the Companies or Regions for negligence, tort and strict liability, but excluding the gross negligence of Regions), damages, costs, court costs, harms, judgments and any and all other expenses (including Attorneys’ Fees, judgments and amounts paid in settlement and other legal and non-legal expenses incurred investigating or defending any Action) incurred incident to, arising out of or in any way connected with any Actions, this Agreement, any Schedule, any Items, or any other instrument, document or agreement executed in connection with or contemplated by any of the foregoing (collectively, “Losses”). The Companies agree to give Regions prompt notice of any claim or liability hereby indemnified against. The Companies shall, at Regions’ election, appear and defend any Action and/or pay the cost of the defense of any Action brought against Regions, either alone or in conjunction with others. The Companies shall satisfy, pay and discharge any and all Losses that may be, incurred by, or recovered against, Regions in connection with any Action.

5

the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any Schedule to this Master Agreement may, by its express terms, supplement or amend this Master Agreement as it applies to said Schedule and other Schedules to this Master Agreement to, among other things, add additional Events of Default or covenants.

XV. Miscellaneous. (a) Any notice or other communication required or desired to be given shall be in writing and shall be sent by certified mail (return receipt requested), by a nationally recognized express courier service (such as FedEx) or personally served. Each such notice shall be deemed to be duly given when deposited in any depository maintained by the United States Post Office, when deposited with a nationally recognized express courier service or when personally served. Each such notice shall be addressed to the Companies at the address set forth in the first paragraph of the first page hereof or to Regions at the addresses set forth below its signature until any Schedule is executed, and, thereafter, at the address specified in such Schedule, if different, or to any other address as may be specified by a party by a notice given as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice, request or demand made by the Companies pursuant to any statutory rights granted the Companies under the UCC (as currently in force or as subsequently revised or re-enacted) shall be effective only upon receipt of a copy of said notice, request or demand by Regions at the address set forth in the first paragraph of the first page hereof with the following caption: “Attn: Manager, Equipment Finance Operations.”

(b) As additional security for the Companies obligations under each Schedule, the Companies’ grant to Regions, to the extent permitted under the language of subsection (6) of the definition of Permitted Liens as set forth in the Indenture (as in effect as of the date hereof, without giving effect to any subsequent amendment, discharge or termination) and under the language of subsection (f) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances as set forth in the Loan Agreement (as in effect as of the date hereof, without giving effect to any subsequent amendment, discharge or termination), a security interest in: (i) all of the Equipment leased or financed pursuant to each and every other Schedule (the “Other Schedules”) irrespective of whether REFCO, RCEF or an Executing Affiliate is “Regions” under such Other Schedules; (ii) without limitation of the restrictions set forth in Section VIII, any leases, subleases, chattel paper, accounts, security deposits and proceeds relating to any Equipment leased or financed pursuant to said Schedule or any Other Schedules; and (iii) all proceeds of the foregoing described collateral. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding: (A) the security interests granted pursuant to Section XV(b) shall be (1) for the benefit of any assignee of Regions that is not an Affiliate of Regions so long as but only to the extent that such assignee is the lessor or lender of one or more Other Schedules; and (2) for the benefit of REFCO, RCEF, any Executing Affiliate and any assignee that is an Affiliate of any of them only to the extent and so long as any of REFCO, RCEF, such Executing Affiliate or any other such Affiliate is the lessor or lender of one or more Other Schedules, it being the intention of the parties that all Schedules with REFCO, RCEF, any Executing Affiliate or any such other Affiliate shall be cross collateralized notwithstanding the fact that different entities are the lessor or lender of any such Schedules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, including the Commencement Date, any security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement shall become effective between the parties with respect to each Item as soon as a Company receives possession thereof. In addition to, and without limiting the foregoing, the Companies hereby further agree that any security interests granted in this Master Agreement, any Schedule or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in connection with the foregoing shall also secure all obligations of the Companies to each Affiliate of Regions (including the Companies’ obligations under or in connection with any existing and future swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101, as in effect from time to time) with Regions or any of its Affiliates), provided, however, that such security interest shall be for the benefit of any assignee of Regions or any such Affiliates so long as but only to the extent that such assignee is also an Affiliate of Regions.

(c) Regions may assign this Agreement and any and all Schedules hereto, as well as all of its right, title and interest hereunder, to any person or entity whatsoever without notice to or consent of the Companies. In such event, Regions’ assignee shall have all of the rights, but none of the obligations, of Regions hereunder and each Company agrees that it will not assert against any assignee of Regions any defense, counterclaim or offset that the Company may have against Regions with respect to this Agreement or any other matter. Each Company acknowledges that any assignment or transfer by Regions, in whole or in part, does not materially change the Companies’ duties or obligations under this Agreement nor materially increase the burdens or risks imposed on the Companies. Only Regions’ original counterpart of each Schedule constitutes Chattel Paper for purposes of the UCC, and no security interest can be perfected by possession of any other duplicate original or counterpart, whether or not signed by the parties.

(d) Timeliness of the Companies’ payment and other performance is of the essence of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable and if any provision shall be invalid, void or unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (subject nevertheless to restrictions against assignment provided in Section VIII). All representations, warranties and agreements made herein by any of the parties hereto shall survive consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Companies’ obligations as to events or conditions occurring during the Term shall survive termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement as to any Item. Regions’ failure at any time to require strict performance by the Companies with any of the provisions hereof shall not waive or diminish Regions’ right thereafter to demand strict compliance therewith. Nothing herein shall be deemed to provide or imply that Regions is a “merchant” as to any Item within the meaning of the UCC as currently in force or as subsequently revised or re-enacted. The Companies acknowledges that Regions’ approval of any Equipment, Supplier or other parties or documentation relating to any Agreement will be solely for the protection of Regions’ interests in the Equipment and under such Agreement and under no circumstances shall be construed to impose any responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever on Regions.

(e) Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information regarding customers. Regions has or will obtain and will keep on file information complying with 31 CFR Part 103.121 regarding the Companies, including the Companies’ name, address and copies of various identifying documents.

(f) Intentionally omitted

(g) Neither this Master Agreement nor any Agreement shall become effective unless and until accepted by execution by an officer of Regions in Birmingham, Alabama. This Master Agreement and each Agreement shall be governed in all respects by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, excluding conflicts-of-law principles. Each of the Companies and Regions hereby waives all rights to trial by jury in any litigation arising under this Agreement or regarding the Equipment. For purposes of any action or proceeding involving this Agreement, each party hereby expressly submits to the jurisdiction and venue of all federal and state courts located in the State of New York, New York County, and consents to be served with any process on paper by registered mail or by personal service within or without said state and county in accordance with applicable law, provided a reasonable time for appearance is allowed. Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of any party to bring any action or proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Following expiration or termination of all Schedules, if the Companies are not then in default, either party may terminate

6

this Master Agreement by written notice to the other party. The terms of any letter of intent or proposal are superseded hereby and declared null and void. The parties intend and agree that a carbon copy, photocopy or facsimile of this Agreement or any document executed in connection herewith with their signature thereon and all counterparts when taken together, shall be deemed to be as binding, valid, genuine, and authentic as an original-signature document for all purposes, including all matters of evidence and the “best evidence” rules. No variation or modification of this Agreement or any term or provision hereof, or waiver, discharge, cancellation or termination of any of its provisions or conditions, shall be valid unless in a writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party against whom the enforcement of such variation, modification, waiver, discharge, cancellation or termination is sought. The Companies acknowledge having read this Section XV(g). INITIAL HERE:  /s/ LMC            .

CONTINUING GUARANTY AGREEMENT

(the “Guaranty”)

COMPANIES: TX ENERGY SERVICES, LLC AND C.C. FORBES, LLC

MASTER AGREEMENT

DATED: JUNE 6, 2012 (the “Master Agreement”)

WHEREAS, the undersigned (hereinafter referred to as the “Guarantor”) has agreed to guarantee the payment of all credit heretofore or hereafter extended and all advances heretofore or hereafter made by Regions Equipment Finance Corporation (“REFCO”) and/or Regions Commercial Equipment Finance, LLC (“RCEF”) to TX ENERGY SERVICES, LLC and C.C. FORBES, LLC (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Company” and collectively as the “Companies”), and of all other Liabilities (as hereinafter defined) of the Company to REFCO and/or RCEF (REFCO and RCEF are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Regions”) under the Master Agreement referenced above and all Schedules thereto (collectively, the “Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, because the Guarantor will be benefited by the success of the Companies and in consideration of the premises, the entering into of the Agreement (as hereinafter defined), in order to induce Regions to extend to the Companies from time to time such extensions of credit, advances and forbearances as Regions in its sole discretion may deem prudent and wise; and for other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy, sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor agrees as follows: the Guarantor unconditionally and absolutely hereby guarantees the due and punctual payment to Regions when and as the same shall become due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of the following (collectively, the “Liabilities”): all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company to REFCO and/or RCEF of every kind, character and description whatsoever, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter incurred, contracted or arising, joint or several, liquidated or unliquidated under the Agreement, and regardless whether incurred as maker, drawer, endorser, surety, guarantor or otherwise, and all other leases or financings entered into by the Company and Regions under the Agreement, and any and all extensions and renewals of all or any part of the same.

The Guarantor further agrees that, in the event Regions grants to any Company one or more extensions or renewals of any of the Liabilities, or any part thereof, or permits or requires any other modification in any of the terms of the Liabilities, or any part thereof, in any manner which may be acceptable to Regions, with or without notice to the Guarantor, this Guaranty shall, and is hereby made to extend to and cover such extended, renewed or modified Liabilities, on whatever terms and conditions the same may be extended, renewed or modified, and without regard to the number of times or the manner in which the same may have been or shall be extended, renewed or modified.

The Guarantor further agrees (a) to pay any and all of the Liabilities upon demand at any time after maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise), including, without limitation, all rent or periodic payments due under the Agreement and all other obligations for payments to, or for the benefit of, Regions under the Agreement; (b) to be bound by all of the terms and provisions appearing on the face of any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing, guaranteeing, or executed in connection with any of the Liabilities and of any renewal instrument or agreement (collectively, the “Documents”) (including any terms waiving notice and agreeing to pay costs and expenses of collection in the event of default) just as though the Guarantor had signed such instrument or agreement; (c) that Regions will not be required first to resort to any Company or any other maker, endorser, surety or guarantor (Company and each such company, maker, endorser, surety or guarantor being hereinafter individually called an “Obligor”) or to the security pledged or granted to Regions by any instrument or agreement, or otherwise assigned or conveyed to it, but in case of default in the payment of any of the Liabilities Regions may forthwith look to the Guarantor for payment under the provisions hereof; and (d) that Regions’ enforcement of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be stayed or otherwise delayed by any claim (including without limitation, a counterclaim) that any Obligor may have against Regions.

The Guarantor hereby further agrees that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guaranties of payment and not of collectibility, and shall not be subject to any counterclaim, recoupment, set-off, reduction or defense based upon any claim that the Guarantor may have against any Company, the Obligors or Regions and shall not be discharged, impaired, modified or otherwise affected by (a) the unenforceability, non-existence, invalidity or non-perfection of (i) any of the Liabilities, (ii) any Documents, (iii) any renewal instrument or agreement or (iv) any lien, pledge, assignment, security interest or conveyance given as security therefor; (b) any understanding or agreement that any other person, firm or corporation was or is to execute this Guaranty or any other document evidencing, guaranteeing or securing the Liabilities, or any part thereof; (c) Regions’ resort or failure or refusal to resort to any other security or remedy for the collection of the Liabilities, or any part thereof; (d) the sale, exchange, release, surrender, or impairment of any collateral or other security for the Liabilities, or any part thereof; (e) the insolvency or bankruptcy of any Obligor or the failure of Regions to file a claim against such bankrupt Obligor for such Obligor’s liability or obligation to Regions; (f) any modification, amendment, supplement, or change in the status or terms of any of the Liabilities or any collateral or other security for the Liabilities, or any part thereof; (g) any default by the Company in payment of any of the Liabilities; (h) any compromise, settlement, release, discharge, termination, waiver, or extension of time for payment, performance, or observance of, any obligation of any Obligor with respect to any of the Liabilities; (i) the application of any payments, proceeds of collateral or other sums to any of the Liabilities in such order as Regions may elect; (j) any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege of Regions with respect to any of the Liabilities or any collateral or other security therefor; (k) any failure, omission, delay, or lack of diligence on the part of Regions to enforce, assert, or exercise any such right, power, privilege, or remedy; (l) any claim (including, but not limited to, a counterclaim) that any Obligor may have against Regions; or (m) any other event, circumstance or condition, whether or not the Guarantor shall have notice or knowledge thereof.

The Guarantor further agrees that it shall not be necessary for Regions to give the Guarantor notice of or to obtain consent or approval of the Guarantor in connection with, (a) the making of any advances or any extensions of credit or the terms thereof, or of any renewal or extension of or other modification with respect to the Liabilities, or any part thereof; (b) any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (m) of the preceding paragraph; or (c) Regions’ acceptance of and reliance on this Guaranty. The terms hereof shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Regions and shall be binding, jointly and severally, upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns.

Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Regions in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of Regions, and then the same shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

The Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Regions harmless against any loss or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that may result from any failure of any Obligor to pay any of the Liabilities when and as due and payable or that may be incurred by or on behalf of Regions in enforcing payment of any of the Liabilities against any of the Guarantor or any of the Obligors.

The Guarantors to the extent it now is or hereafter becomes an “insider”, as defined in 11 U.S.C. §101 (or any amendment or successor thereto or replacement thereof), of any Company hereby waives and relinquishes all rights (including, without limitation, rights of subrogation) that the Guarantor now has or hereafter may have to recover from or be reimbursed by the Companies or the Companies’ property, or from any person, firm, or corporation that may now or hereafter have such a right to recover from or be reimbursed by any Company or the Companies’ property, any amounts paid by the Guarantor to satisfy, in whole or in part, the Liabilities. The provisions of this paragraph are made for the express benefit of the Companies as well as Regions and may be enforced independently by any Company.

The Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until revoked or terminated by a written instrument, signed by the Guarantor and delivered to Regions and acknowledged in writing by Regions, and even after any such revocation or termination, shall be and remain effective as to any Liabilities then outstanding; and that this Guaranty shall not be construed as being terminated by payment in full of the Liabilities to Regions, if, thereafter, in the absence of written revocation or termination by the Guarantor acknowledged by Regions, the Company obtains or incurs additional or new Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, this Guaranty and the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, any time payment of all or any part of the Liabilities is recovered (a “Recovered Payment”) from Regions as a result of a preference or other claim made under any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, receivership, or similar law or otherwise. The collateral, if any, securing this Guaranty may be held by Regions until it is satisfied that all time periods during which the payment of all or any part of the Liabilities may be recovered from Regions as a result of a preference or other claim under any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, receivership, or similar law or otherwise have elapsed. The Guarantor will notify Regions immediately and in writing if Guarantor’s mailing address changes.

Any act or circumstance that shall toll any statute of limitations applicable to the Liabilities, or any of them, shall also toll the statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantor’s liability for the Liabilities under this Guaranty.

The term “Guarantor” as used herein refers to Forbes Energy Services Ltd. The Guarantor is prohibited from assigning this Guaranty, or their obligations and duties hereunder, without the advance written approval of Regions.

This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. THE GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING UNDER THIS GUARANTY. For purposes of any action or proceeding involving this Guaranty, the Guarantor hereby expressly submits to the jurisdiction and venue of all federal and state courts located in the State of New York, New York County, and consents to be served with any process on paper by registered mail or by personal service within or without said state and county in accordance with applicable law, provided a reasonable time for appearance is allowed. The Guarantor, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, waives the defense of an inconvenient forum of any such action or proceeding. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right of Regions to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of any party to bring any action or proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction. The provisions of this Guaranty shall be severable and if any provision shall be invalid, void or unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

This Guaranty and the other Documents contain the entire understanding and agreement between the Guarantor and Regions with respect to the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder and supersede any prior agreements, understandings, promises, and statements with respect to such obligations.

Witness the signature of the undersigned on the day and year first written above.

NOTICE TO SIGNERS

You are being asked to guarantee all obligations and liabilities of the Company to Regions, including all future obligations of the Company entered into with Regions prior to the time you revoke or terminate this Guaranty in writing as set forth in this Guaranty and including all payment or other performance due under the Company’s Agreement or Documents with Regions whether or not any equipment or other personal property leased or financed thereunder is satisfactory. Think carefully before you do. If the Company doesn’t pay the obligations, you will have to. Be sure you can afford to pay if you have to, and that you want to accept this responsibility.

You may have to pay up to the full amount of the obligations if the Company does not pay. You may also have to pay late fees or collection costs, which increase this amount.

Regions can collect the obligations from you without first trying to collect from the Company or any other party. Regions can use the same collection methods against you that can be used against the Company.

This notice is not part of the contract and does not vary or add to the terms of the Guaranty.

CAUTION - IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU THOROUGHLY READ THIS CONTRACT BEFORE YOU SIGN IT.

Discontinued Operations

17. Discontinued Operations

On January 12, 2012, the Company completed the previously announced sale of substantially all of its assets located in Mexico, as well as its equity interests in Forbes Energy Services México Servicios de Personal, S. de R.L. de C.V., for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $30 million (excluding amounts paid to cover certain Mexican taxes). The Company recognized a gain on disposal of approximately $3.5 million on this transaction.

The Company has retained a small office in Mexico, which will operate on a temporary basis while the Company collects outstanding receivables from PEMEX. In connection with the expiration of its contract with PEMEX, the Company expects the release of the performance bond posted in connection with such contract, which should result in approximately $13.6 million being released from restricted cash.

Organization and Nature of Operations

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Nature of Business

Forbes Energy Services Ltd. (“FES Ltd”) is an independent oilfield services contractor that provides a wide range of well site services to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies to help develop and enhance the production of oil and natural gas. These services include fluid hauling, fluid disposal, well maintenance, completion services, workovers and recompletions, plugging and abandonment, and tubing testing. Our operations are concentrated in the major onshore oil and natural gas producing regions of Texas, with additional locations in Mississippi, in Pennsylvania and, prior to the disposition of our Mexican assets in January 2012, which is discussed in Note 17 below, in Mexico. We believe that our broad range of services, which extends from initial drilling, through production, to eventual abandonment, is fundamental to establishing and maintaining the flow of oil and natural gas throughout the life cycle of our customers’ wells.

As used in these condensed consolidated financial statements, the “Company,” the “Forbes Group,” “we,” and “our” mean FES Ltd and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, except as otherwise indicated.

Business Segment Information

14. Business Segment Information

The Forbes Group has determined that it has two reportable segments organized based on its products and services—well servicing and fluid logistics and other. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Well Servicing

The well servicing segment consists of operations in the U.S. that provides (i) well maintenance, including remedial repairs and removal and replacement of down-hole production equipment, (ii) well workovers, including significant down-hole repairs, re-completions and re-perforations, (iii) completion and swabbing activities, and (iv) plugging and abandoning services. In addition, the Forbes Group has tubing testing units that are used to conduct pressure testing of oil and natural gas production tubing.

Fluid Logistics and Other

The fluid logistics and other segment consists of operations in the U.S., which provide, transport, store and dispose of a variety of drilling and produced fluids used in and generated by oil and natural gas production activities. These services are required in most work-over and completion projects and are routinely used in daily producing well operations. In the fiscal year 2010, the Company began providing site preparation services which were complementary to the traditional services offered by the Company. Wolverine Construction, Inc., a related party, was sub-contracted to complete such services. The Company ceased offering these services in June 2011. The following table sets forth certain financial information from continuing operations with respect to the Company’s reportable segments in (000)’s for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011:

Equity Securities [Abstract]

Equity Securities

16. Equity Securities

Common Stock

Holders of common stock have no pre-emptive, redemption, conversion, or sinking fund rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common stock. Unless a different majority is required by law or by the bylaws, resolutions to be approved by holders of common stock require approval by a simple majority of votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in the Company’s assets, if any, remaining after the payment of all of its debts and liabilities, subject to any liquidation preference on any issued and outstanding preferred stock.

Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock

Under our Certificate of Designation, we are authorized to issue 825,000 shares of Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Shares”), par value $0.01 per share. On May 28, 2010 the Company completed a private placement of 580,800 Series B Preferred Stock at a price per share of CAD $26.37 for an aggregate purchase price in the amount of USD $14,520,000 based on the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars then in effect of $1.00 to CDN $1.0547. The Company received net proceeds of USD $13,828,205 after closing fee paid to investors of $290,400 and legal fees and other offering costs of $401,395. This is presented as temporary equity on the balance sheet. The common stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible has certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights.

The Company paid a closing fee to the Investors of $290,400 which is netted with the proceeds from the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock in temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheet. The value of the Series B Preferred Stock, for accounting purposes, is being accreted up to redemption value from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the instrument using the effective interest rate method. If the Series B Preferred Stock had been redeemed as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the redemption amount would have been approximately $14.5 million in each instance.

Dividends

The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive preferential dividends equal to five percent (5%) per annum of the original issue price per share, payable quarterly in February, May, August and November of each year. Such dividends may be paid by the Company in cash or in kind (in the form of additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock). In the event that the payment in cash or in kind of any such dividend would cause the Company to violate a covenant under its debt agreements, the obligation to pay, in cash or in kind, will be suspended until the earlier to occur of (i) and only to the extent any restrictions under the debt agreements lapse or are no longer applicable or (ii) February 16, 2015. During any such suspension period, the preferential dividends shall continue to accrue and accumulate. As shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of our common stock, each dividend paid in kind will have a dilutive effect on our shares of common stock.

Preferred stock dividends are recorded at their fair value. If paid in cash, the amount paid represents fair value. If paid in kind, the fair value of the preferred stock dividends is determined using valuation techniques that include a component representing the intrinsic value of the dividends (which represents the fair value of the common stock into which the preferred stock could be converted) and an option component (which is determined using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model). Dividends and accretion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were $0.2 million and $0.4 million. Dividends for the quarterly periods ended November 28, 2011, February 28, 2011, and May 28, 2011 were not paid on the Series B preferred shares. Amounts were accrued representing the fair value of shares expected to be paid in kind.The Company had not paid these dividends in cash at that time due to certain restrictions in the indentures governing the Second Priority Notes and the First Priority Notes, and had not paid these dividends in-kind because the Toronto Stock Exchange had taken the position that, in light of the market price of the Company’s common shares, the issuance of additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock as a dividend in-kind would violate Toronto Stock Exchange rules regarding the issuance of discounted shares, unless the Company received shareholder approval for such an issuance (which we subsequently received). After the extinguishment of the Second Priority Notes and the First Priority Notes, the Company was no longer restricted from paying cash dividends as the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes specifically allowed cash dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock up to specific levels. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, cumulative preferred dividends were remeasured using the contractual 5% rate. An adjustment of $1.1 million and $0.2 million was reflected as a component of preferred shares dividends in the statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Since then, quarterly dividends have been paid in cash. The Company currently intends to pay all future dividends in cash.

Commitments and Contingencies

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which subject the Forbes Group to credit risk consist primarily of cash balances maintained in excess of federal depository insurance limits and trade receivables. All of our non-interest bearing cash balances were fully insured at June 30, 2012 due to a temporary federal program in effect from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012. Under the program, there is no limit to the amount of insurance for eligible accounts. Beginning 2013, insurance coverage will revert to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution, and our non-interest bearing cash balances may again exceed federally insured limits. The Forbes Group restricts investment of temporary cash investments to financial institutions with high credit standings. The Forbes Group’s customer base consists primarily of multi-national and independent oil and natural gas producers. The Forbes Group does not require collateral on its trade receivables. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 the Company's largest customer, five largest customers, and ten largest customers constituted 9.5%, 38.2%, and 58.9% of revenues, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 the Company's largest customer, five largest customers, and ten largest customers constituted 11.5%, 39.3%, 58.0% and of revenues, respectively. The loss of any one of our top five customers would have a negative impact on the revenues and profits of the company. Further, our trade accounts receivable are from companies within the oil and natural gas industry and as such the Forbes Group is exposed to normal industry credit risks. The Forbes Group continually evaluates its reserves for potential credit losses and establishes reserves for such losses.

Self-Insurance

The Forbes Group is self-insured under its Employee Group Medical Plan for the first $125,000 per individual plus a $235,000 aggregate specific deductible. Incurred and unprocessed claims as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 amount to approximately $4.7 and $3.9 million, respectively. These claims are unprocessed and therefore their values are estimated and included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Litigation

The Forbes Group is subject to various other claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any of these claims and actions, separately or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although we cannot guarantee that a material adverse effect will not occur.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are often party to certain transactions that require off-balance sheet arrangements such as performance bonds, guarantees, operating leases for equipment, and bank guarantees that are not reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These arrangements are made in our normal course of business and they are not reasonably likely to have a current or future material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

Other intangible assets are subject to amortization for the period of time which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows under the guidance of ASC 350.

Our major classes of intangible assets subject to amortization under ASC 350 consist of our customer relationships, trade names, safety training program, dispatch software, and other. The Company expenses costs associated with extensions or renewals of intangibles assets. There were no such extensions or renewals in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 or June 30, 2011. Amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the period indicated. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 from continuing operations was $0.7 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 was $1.4 million. Estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is $2.9 million per year. The weighted average amortization period remaining for intangible assets is 10.3 years.

The following sets forth the identified intangible assets by major asset class:

Interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2012. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management believes that these estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Gains and Losses

The functional currency at our Mexican subsidiary is the Mexican Peso. On January 12, 2012, we completed the disposition of substantially all of our assets and business located in Mexico. Nevertheless, we continue to collect accounts receivables related to these prior operations in Mexico and a significant portion of these accounts receivable is in pesos. Assets and liabilities are translated using the spot rate on the balance sheet date, while income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. The resulting gains or losses arising from the translation of accounts from the functional currency to the U.S. dollar are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity in other comprehensive income (loss). Transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are re-measured into the functional currency each reporting period. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions and balances denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations and cash flows as incurred.

Share Consolidation

As of August 12, 2011, FES Ltd discontinued its existence in Bermuda and converted into a Texas corporation. In connection with and immediately prior to this Texas conversion, FES Ltd effected a 4-to-1 share consolidation, or the Share Consolidation. All references included in these financial statements and accompanying notes to the number of shares, par value and per share amounts of the common stock of FES Ltd prior to the Share Consolidation have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Share Consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 unit’s 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. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-08 during the first quarter of 2012.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet” (“ASU 2011-11”). The standard amends and expands disclosure requirements about balance sheet offsetting and related arrangements. ASU 2011-11 becomes effective for Forbes on January 1, 2013. We do not anticipate any impact to our results of operations, financial position or liquidity when the guidance becomes effective.

Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements [Abstract]

Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

15. Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

Prior to January 12, 2012, when the Company completed the disposition of its business and substantially all of its assets in Mexico, the Company had certain foreign significant subsidiaries that did not guarantee the 9% Senior Notes discussed in Note 7 and is required to present the following condensed consolidating financial information pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. These schedules are presented using the equity method of accounting for all periods presented. Under this method, investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share in the subsidiaries’ cumulative results of operations, capital contributions and distributions and other changes in equity. Elimination entries relate primarily to the elimination of investments in subsidiaries and associated intercompany balances and transactions.

There are no significant restrictions on FES Ltd’s ability or the ability of any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by such means as a dividend or loan.

Supplemental financial information for Forbes Energy Services Ltd., the parent and issuer, our combined subsidiary guarantors and our non-guarantor subsidiaries is presented below.

9% Senior Notes

On June 7, 2011, FES Ltd issued $280.0 million in principal amount of 9% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “9% Senior Notes”). The proceeds of the 9% Senior Notes were used to purchase and redeem 100% of the First Priority Notes and the outstanding Second Priority Notes (described below)issued by two of FES Ltd’s subsidiaries, Forbes Energy Services LLC and Forbes Energy Capital Inc. The 9% Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2019, and require semi-annual interest payments, in arrears, at an annual rate of 9% on June 15 and December 15 of each year until maturity commencing December 15, 2011. No principal payments are due until maturity.

The 9% Senior Notes are guaranteed by the current domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subs”) of FES Ltd, which includes FES LLC, C.C. Forbes, LLC (“CCF”), TX Energy Services, LLC (“TES”), Superior Tubing Testers, LLC (“STT”) and Forbes Energy International, LLC (“FEI LLC”). All of the Guarantor Subs are 100% owned. Each guarantee of the Guarantor Subs is on a full and unconditional and joint and several basis, subject to customary release provisions. Prior to January 12, 2012, FES Ltd had two 100% owned indirect Mexican subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor Subs that had not guaranteed the 9% Senior Notes. In January 2012, one of those two Mexican subsidiaries was sold along with the business and substantially all of our long-lived assets located in Mexico. The Guarantor Subs represent the majority of the Company’s operations. On or after June 15, 2015, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or part of the 9% Senior Notes from time to time at specified redemption prices and subject to certain conditions required by the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes (the “9% Senior Indenture”). The Company is required to make an offer to purchase the notes and to repurchase any notes for which the offer is accepted at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if there is a change of control. The Company is required to make an offer to repurchase the notes and to repurchase any notes for which the offer is accepted at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, following certain asset sales.

The Company is permitted under the terms of the 9% Senior Indenture to incur additional indebtedness in the future, provided that certain financial conditions set forth in the 9% Senior Indenture are satisfied. The Company is subject to certain covenants contained in the 9% Senior Indenture, including provisions that limit or restrict the Company’s and certain future subsidiaries’ abilities to incur additional debt, to create, incur or permit to exist certain liens on assets, to make certain dispositions of assets, to make payments on certain subordinated indebtedness, to pay dividends or certain other payments to equity holders, to engage in mergers, consolidations or other fundamental changes, to change the nature of its business or to engage in transactions with affiliates. As of June 30, 2012, we are in compliance with all covenants in the indenture.

Second Priority Notes

On February 12, 2008, FES LLC and FES CAP issued $205 million in principal amount of 11% senior secured notes due 2015 (together with notes issued in exchange therefore, the “Second Priority Notes”). In May 2011, we commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the Second Priority Notes then outstanding. In connection with that tender offer, we successfully solicited consents to and implemented amendments that eliminated most of the restrictive covenants and event of default provisions contained in the Indenture governing the Second Priority Notes the “Second Priority Indenture”. In June 2011, pursuant to this tender offer, we purchased 99.8% of the outstanding principal amount of the Second Priority Notes. On June 27, 2011, the Company commenced the redemption of the remaining outstanding Second Priority Notes which closed on July 27, 2011. As a result, the Second Priority Indenture was discharged and all liens relating thereto were released.

First Priority Notes

On October 2, 2009, FES LLC and FES CAP issued to Goldman, Sachs & Co. $20 million in aggregate principal amount of First Lien Floating Rate Notes due 2014 (the “First Priority Notes”), in a private placement in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On June 7, 2011, FES Ltd used a portion of the proceeds of the offering of the 9% Senior Notes to purchase all of the aggregate principal amount of the First Priority Notes outstanding at which time the indenture governing the First Priority Notes was discharged and the liens related thereto were released.

Revolving Credit Facility

On September 9, 2011, FES Ltd and its current domestic subsidiaries entered into a loan and security agreement with Regions Bank, SunTrust Bank, CIT Bank and Capital One Leverage Finance Corp., as lenders, and Regions Bank, as agent for the secured parties, or the Agent. The loan and security agreement provides for an asset based revolving credit facility with a maximum initial borrowing credit of $75.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability. As of June 30, 2012, $69.0 million was available under this new credit facility. The loan and security agreement has a stated maturity of September 9, 2016. The proceeds of this credit facility can be used for the purchase of well services equipment, permitted acquisitions, general operations, working capital and other general corporate purposes. There was $6.0 million outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2012 and no borrowings outstanding at August 10, 2012. As of August 10, 2012, there were $1.7 million in letters of credit outstanding against this facility.

Under the loan and security agreement, our borrowing base at any time is equal to (i) 85% of eligible accounts, which are determined by Agent in its reasonable discretion, plus (ii) the lesser of 85% of the appraised value, subject to certain adjustments, of our well services equipment that has been properly pledged and appraised, is in good operating condition and is located in the United States, or 100% of the net book value of such equipment, minus (iii) any reserves established by the Agent in its reasonable discretion.

At our option, borrowings under this new credit facility will bear interest at a rate equal to either (i) the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of between 2.25% to 2.75% based on borrowing availability or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin of between 1.25% to 1.75% based on borrowing availability, where the base rate is equal to the greater of the prime rate established by Regions Bank, the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the LIBOR rate for a one month period plus 1%.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the facility, a fee of 0.375% per annum will accrue on unutilized availability under the credit facility. We are required to pay a fee of between 2.25% to 2.75%, based on borrowing availability, with respect to the principal amount of any letters of credit outstanding under the facility. We are also responsible for certain other administrative fees and expenses. In connection with the execution of the loan and security agreement, we paid the lenders an upfront fee of $0.5 million.

FES LLC, FEI LLC, TES, CCF and STT are the borrowers under the loan and security agreement. Their obligations have been guaranteed by one another and by FES Ltd. Subject to certain exceptions and permitted encumbrances, including the exemption of real property interests from the collateral package, the obligations under this facility are secured by a first priority security interest in all of our assets.

We are able to voluntarily repay outstanding loans at any time without premium or penalty (subject to the fees discussed above). If at anytime our outstanding loans under the credit facility exceed the availability under our borrowing base, we may be required to repay the excess. Further, we are required to use the net proceeds from certain events, including certain judgments, tax refunds or insurance awards to repay outstanding loans; however, we may reborrow following such repayments if the conditions to borrowing are met.

The loan and security agreement contains customary covenants for an asset-based credit facility, which include (i) restrictions on certain mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; (ii) restrictions on the creation or existence of liens; (iii) restrictions on making certain investments; (iv) restrictions on the incurrence or existence of indebtedness; (v) restrictions on transactions with affiliates; (vi) requirements to deliver financial statements, report and notices to the Agent and (vii) a springing requirement to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (which is defined in the loan and security agreement) of 1.1:1.0 in the event that our excess availability under the credit facility falls below the greater of $11.3 million or 15% of our maximum credit under the facility for sixty consecutive days; provided that, the restrictions described in (i)—(v) above are subject to certain exceptions and permissions limited in scope and dollar value. The loan and security agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and event of default provisions. As of June 30, 2012, we are in compliance with all covenants in the loan and security agreement.

The company recently entered into an amendment to the loan agreement governing our new credit facility, or the Second Amendment. Similar to the first amendment to the Loan Agreement, this Second Amendment modifies certain provisions of the Loan Agreement to, among other things, provide more flexibility on the Borrower Subsidiaries’ ability to enter into equipment leases, purchase money financings and insurance financing transactions. This amendment was effective on July 6, 2012 after the payment of an amendment fee.

Third Party Equipment Notes

During the past few years, the Forbes Group financed the purchase of certain vehicles and equipment through commercial loans with Paccar Financial Group, Mack Financial Services, and Enterprise Fleet Management with aggregate principal amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 of approximately $9.0 million. These loans are repayable in a range of 42 to 60 monthly installments with the maturity dates ranging from May 2013 to August 2016. Interest accrues at rates ranging from 4.7% to 7.6% and is payable monthly. The loans are collateralized by equipment purchased with the proceeds of such loans. The Forbes Group paid total principal payments of approximately $1.1 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and year ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

Insurance Notes

During 2011, the Forbes Group entered into a promissory note with First Insurance Funding for the payment of insurance premiums during the period of insurance coverage with an aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 of approximately $2.4 million and $7.1 million, respectively. This note is payable in 12 monthly installments with maturity date of September 15, 2012. Interest accrues at a rate of approximately 3.6% and is payable monthly. The amount outstanding could be substantially offset by the cancellation of the related insurance coverage.

Stock Options

From time to time, the Company grants stock options, restricted stock or other awards to its employees, including executive officers and directors. Prior to July 9, 2012, these awards were granted pursuant to the Company’s 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2008 Plan. On July 9, 2012, at the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2012 Plan. No further awards will be made under the 2008 Plan, however, outstanding awards granted under the 2008 Plan will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the 2008 Plan. Any shares of common stock that are available to be granted under the 2008 Plan but which are not subject to outstanding awards under the 2008 Plan, including shares that become available due to the future lapse or forfeiture of outstanding awards, will be added to the 1,022,500 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2012 Plan. As of June 30, 2012, no awards had been issued under the 2012 Plan.

Stock options issued in 2008 under the 2008 plan originally vested over a three-year period. On August 11, 2011, however, the Company exchanged 667,500 of these options, which constituted all of the outstanding options issued in 2008, in a 0.72 to 1 exchange for 480,600 options issued under the 2008 plan (the “Exchange Options”). These Exchange Options vest one-third every four months from the exchange date and the Company will recognize $0.1 million of compensation expense for this exchange over a 12 month period. With respect to the stock options issued in 2010, the standard option vests over a two year period with one fourth vesting every six months, until fully vested. With respect to options, unrelated to the Exchange Options issued in August 2011, vesting took place over a three-year period, with approximately one third vesting on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. For most grantees, vested options expire at the earlier of either one year after the termination of grantee’s employment by reason of death, disability or retirement, 90 days after termination of the grantee’s employment other than upon grantee’s death, disability or retirement, provided, however, that the Company may elect to extend the expiration beyond this 90-day period, or ten years after the date of grant.

The following table presents a summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 the Company recorded total stock based compensation expense from continuing operations of $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 the Company recorded total stock based compensation expense of $2.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively, from restricted stock and stock options. No stock-based compensation costs were capitalized for the periods ended June 30, 2012 or June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, total unrecognized stock-based compensation costs amounted to $7.4 million (net of estimated forfeitures); and is expected to be recorded over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 an additional $0.4 million and $0.7 million was recorded to accrue for the executive stock bonuses per the newly implemented, performance based, management bonus plan and is reflected as a current liability in our consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2012, after taking into account the amendments to the 2008 incentive compensation plan approved by the company’s shareholders at their special and general annual meeting on June 27, 2011, the subsequent Exchange Options issued August 11, 2011, new awards issued on August 15, 2011, restricted stock grants in first quarter of 2012 (as discussed in the Restricted Stock paragraph below), and 198,511 shares (calculated using the closing price of the common stock on June 30, 2012) reserved for the equity portion of the executive performance incentive compensation plan there were 547,732 shares available for future grants under the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan.

Restricted Stock

In March of 2012, we granted 83,332 shares of restricted stock with a vesting period of one year. The aggregate fair value of this restricted stock is $497,117 which will be amortized over the next twelve months. In addition, we granted 125,000 shares of restricted stock with an aggregate fair value of $720,000 included in total stock-based compensation in February of 2012, which vested immediately and was expensed in the first quarter of 2012.

Grants Outside of the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan

On August 23, 2010, the Company granted 65,000 stock options in an issuance outside the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan. These options vest twenty-five percent on each six-month anniversary from the date of grant, and will become fully vested over a two year period.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable-trade, accounts receivable-related parties, accounts receivable – other, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable – trade, accounts payable – related parties, insurance notes, deposits on assets held for sale, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of third party notes and equipment notes, which approximate their carrying values, are based on current market rates at which the company could borrow funds with similar maturities.

The difference between the effective rate and 35.0% statutory rate is primarily related to changes in forecast, Texas Margins Tax and other non-deductible expenses.

The Forbes Group is subject to the Texas Margins Tax. The Texas Margins Tax is a tax equal to one percent of Texas-sourced revenue reduced by the greater of (a) cost of goods sold (as defined by Texas law), (b) compensation (as defined by Texas law) or (c) thirty percent of the Texas-sourced revenue. The Forbes Group accounts for the revised Texas Franchise tax in accordance with ASC 740, as the tax is derived from a taxable base that consists of income less deductible expenses. As of June 30, 2012, the estimated annual franchise tax expense is estimated to be approximately $0.8 million for 2012.

Risk and Uncertainties [Abstract]

Risk and Uncertainties

2. Risk and Uncertainties

As an independent oilfield services contractor that provides a broad range of drilling-related and production-related services to oil and natural gas companies, primarily onshore in Texas, our revenue, profitability, cash flows and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on our ability to (1) maintain adequate equipment utilization, (2) maintain adequate pricing for the services we provide, and (3) maintain a trained work force. Failure to do so could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Because our revenues are generated primarily from customers who are subject to the same factors generally impacting the oil and natural gas industry, our operations are also susceptible to market volatility resulting from economic, cyclical, weather related or other factors related to such industry. Changes in the level of operating and capital spending in the industry, decreases in oil and natural gas prices, or industry perception about future oil and natural gas prices could materially decrease the demand for our services, adversely affecting our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]

Interim Financial Information

Interim Financial Information

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Forbes Group are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “GAAP” for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read along with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Forbes Group’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the interim periods presented. Interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2012. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management believes that these estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Gains and Losses

Foreign Currency Gains and Losses

The functional currency at our Mexican subsidiary is the Mexican Peso. On January 12, 2012, we completed the disposition of substantially all of our assets and business located in Mexico. Nevertheless, we continue to collect accounts receivables related to these prior operations in Mexico and a significant portion of these accounts receivable is in pesos. Assets and liabilities are translated using the spot rate on the balance sheet date, while income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. The resulting gains or losses arising from the translation of accounts from the functional currency to the U.S. dollar are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity in other comprehensive income (loss). Transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are re-measured into the functional currency each reporting period. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions and balances denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations and cash flows as incurred.

Share Consolidation

Share Consolidation

As of August 12, 2011, FES Ltd discontinued its existence in Bermuda and converted into a Texas corporation. In connection with and immediately prior to this Texas conversion, FES Ltd effected a 4-to-1 share consolidation, or the Share Consolidation. All references included in these financial statements and accompanying notes to the number of shares, par value and per share amounts of the common stock of FES Ltd prior to the Share Consolidation have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Share Consolidation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 unit’s 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. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-08 during the first quarter of 2012.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet” (“ASU 2011-11”). The standard amends and expands disclosure requirements about balance sheet offsetting and related arrangements. ASU 2011-11 becomes effective for Forbes on January 1, 2013. We do not anticipate any impact to our results of operations, financial position or liquidity when the guidance becomes effective.

Earnings per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

12. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares, such as warrants, options and convertible preference shares, were exercised and converted into common shares. Potential common stock equivalents that have been issued by the Forbes Group relate to outstanding stock options and restricted stock which are determined using the treasury stock method, and the Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Series B Preferred Shares”), which are determined using the “if converted” method. In applying the if-converted method, conversion is not assumed for purposes of computing diluted EPS if the effect would be antidilutive. As of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, there were 2.0 million and 1.3 million options to purchase common shares outstanding, respectively and 588,059 Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Shares. The preferred stock is convertible at a rate of nine common shares to one Series B Preferred Share.

The Company has determined that the Series B Preferred Shares are participating securities under ASC 260. Under ASC 260, a security is considered a participating security if the security may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock, whether that participation is conditioned upon the occurrence of a specified event or not. In accordance with ASC 260, a company is required to use the two-class method when computing EPS when a company has a security that qualifies as a “participating security.” The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. A participating security is included in the computation of basic EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, basic EPS for the Company’s common shares is computed by dividing net income applicable to common shares by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Under the certificate of designation for our Series B Preferred Shares (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”), if at any time the Company declares a dividend in cash which is greater in value than five percent on a cumulative basis over the previous twelve month period of the then current “Common Share Fair Market Value,” as that term is defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation, the Series B Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive a dividend payable in cash equal to the amount in excess of five percent of the then Common Share Fair Market Value per common share they would have received if all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares had been converted into common shares. There were no earnings allocated to the Series B Preferred Shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 since earnings for the quarter were not in excess of amounts prescribed by the Series B Certificate of Designation for our Series B Preferred Shares. Diluted EPS for the Company’s common shares is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the if-converted method. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Weighted average shares outstanding		21,055,642		20,918,400		21,020,628		20,918,400
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock		277,279		—		307,885		—
Dilutive effect of preferred shares		5,292,531		—		5,292,531		—
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		26,625,452		20,918,400		26,621,044		20,918,400

There were 1,997,925 shares subject to outstanding stock options and 83,332 restricted stock units outstanding as of June 30, 2012, and 5,292,531 common share equivalents underlying the Series B Preferred Shares that were included in the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. There were 1,305,000 million stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and 5,292,531 common share equivalents underlying the Series B Preferred Shares that were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 because their effect would have been antidilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
