Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Board of Directors of
WEDGE Energy Holdings, LLC
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of WEDGE Wireline Services, Inc., WEDGE Well Services, L.L.C. and WEDGE Fishing and Rental Services, L.L.C. (which represent companies under common control as further described in Note A to the combined financial statements) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ and members’ equity and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of WEDGE Wireline Services, Inc., WEDGE Well Services, L.L.C. and WEDGE Fishing and Rental Services, L.L.C. as of December 31, 2007, and the combined results of their operations and cash flows for the nine months then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. The Company reviews the useful life of its property and equipment on an ongoing basis considering events or changes in circumstances.
Expected useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
         
Asset Category   Useful Lives
Autos, trucks and trailers
  5-6 years  
Buildings
  40 years  
Computers
  3-5 years  
Computer software
  5 years  
Machinery and equipment

Prepaid expenses include items such as insurance and other miscellaneous items. The prepaid expenses are recognized as an operating expense in the period they benefit.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value because the interest rates fluctuate with market interest rates or the fixed rates are based on current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities.

Intangible assets not subject to amortization is goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The following is a summary of the Company’s Goodwill at December 31, 2007 as a result of the following acquisitions:
         
    Initial  
Company   Consideration  
 
Penkota
  $ 5,659,092

    1,078,264  
 
     
 
       
Total Goodwill
  $ 20,527,494  
 
     
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended December 31, 2007, are as follows:
         
Balance, March 31, 2007
    19,449,230  
Goodwill acquired during 2007
    1,078,264  
 
     
Balance, December 31, 2007
  $ 20,527,494  
 
     
Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. The amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of the unamortized balance based on expected future profitability and undiscounted future cash flows of the acquisitions and their contribution to the overall operation. During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, no impairment indicators arose that may suggest the recoverability of goodwill was impaired.

Income Taxes
During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, WWS and WFRS are included in the consolidated income tax returns of Holdings. The current portion of its income tax obligation is computed applying tax rates established by Holdings to the Company’s current year operating results. The resulting tax obligation is then remitted to Holdings. During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, WIRE filed separately and was not included in the consolidated income tax returns of Holdings.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred taxes result primarily from the use of (i) different methods and lives for depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and intangibles and (ii) different methods of accounting for organizational costs.
The Company assesses its deferred tax assets on an annual basis and if necessary provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it believes that it is more likely than not that the value of these assets may not be realized in the future. Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability approach as prescribed in FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $127,342 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007.
Accrued Compensated Absences
Compensated absences are accrued and charged to expense in the period in which it is earned.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments and Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk include cash and accounts receivable. Cash is maintained in federally insured domestic institutions. The terms of these deposits are on demand to minimize risk. The Company has not incurred losses related to these deposits, although at times, these deposits exceed federally insured limits. Trade accounts receivable consist of uncollateralized receivables from customers in the oil and gas industry located primarily in the United States. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, if necessary, based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, on February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-2, Effective Dates of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on its results of operations and financial position.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. FIN No. 48 is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, which prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take in the Company’s tax returns. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt FIN No. 48 for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, unless it is further delayed by the FASB. The impact of FIN No. 48 on the Company’s financial statements, if any, has not been determined at this time.
