See accompanying notes to the financial statements. -5- 6 DAWSON GEOPHYSICAL COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. OPINION OF MANAGEMENT Although the information furnished is unaudited, in the opinion of management of the Registrant, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months and the six months ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year. 2. NOTES PAYABLE In April 1997, the Company entered into a loan agreement, as amended (the "Loan Agreement"), with a bank. The Loan Agreement consists of (1) a revolving line of credit of $6,000,000 which matures on April 15, 1999, (2) a term note in the aggregate principal amount of $6,000,000 bearing interest at the bank's prime rate and which matures on March 25, 2003 and (3) a term note in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 bearing interest at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal and which matures on April 15, 2003. The notes are secured by eligible accounts receivable and equipment purchased from loan proceeds. On November 25, 1997, the Company repaid all outstanding principal and interest on the two Term Promissory Notes which have no reborrowing capacity. The Company has not utilized the revolving line of credit. 3. CONTINGENCIES The Company is a defendant in two lawsuits pending in the 112th and 83rd District Courts of Pecos County, Texas relating to a July 1995 accident involving a van owned by the Company which was used to transport employees to various job sites and a non-Company owned vehicle. The accident resulted in the deaths of four Company employees who were passengers in such van. The Company is one of several named defendants in such suits. Other named defendants include the estate of the deceased driver of such van, who was an employee of the Company, the driver of such non-Company owned vehicle, who was then an employee of the Company, the owner of such vehicle, and Ford Motor Company, the manufacturer of the Company van involved in such accident. In general, the claims against the Company include allegations of negligence, gross negligence and/or intentional tort as a result of, among other things, the Company's alleged failure to provide safe transportation for its employees and to properly select, train and supervise the deceased driver of such van. The plaintiffs in such suits are seeking actual damages from the defendants of $15.5 million, additional unspecified actual damages, prejudgment and post-judgment interest and costs of suit as well as exemplary and punitive damages in an amount not to exceed four times the amount of actual damages. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the -6- 7 Notes to Financial Statements (continued) claims asserted against it in such suits and it intends to continue to vigorously defend itself against such claims. In addition, the Company believes that it has approximately $11 million of liability insurance coverage to provided against an unfavorable outcome. Due to the uncertainties inherent in litigation, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of such suits or the adequacy or availability of the Company's liability insurance to cover the damages, if any, which may be assessed against the Company is such suits. A judgment awarding plaintiffs an amount significantly exceeding the Company's available insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. The Company is party to other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business, none of which management believes will result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operation, as the Company believes it is adequately insured. 4. PUBLIC OFFERING On November 21, 1997, the Company completed an offering of 1,150,000 shares. The proceeds of the offering were approximately $21,371,000 after deducting costs payable by the Company. 5.

-7- 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 1998 compare favorably to the same period of the prior year despite operating interruptions due to weather and permitting problems, which negatively impacted the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The Company is experiencing favorable weather during the third quarter of fiscal 1998. In November 1997, the Company completed a secondary public offering of 1,150,000 common shares with net proceeds of $21,371,000. In reviewing the Company's financial statements it should be noted that quarterly fluctuations in the Company's results of operations can occur due to weather, land use permitting and other factors. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's operating revenues for the first six months of 1998 totaled $27,344,000 versus $21,784,000 for the same period of fiscal 1997, an increase of 25.5%. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, operating revenues totaled $13,557,000 versus $11,721,000 for the same period of fiscal 1997, an increase of 15.7%. The increase for the six-month period reflects the Company's added production capacity in response to continued strong demand for 3-D seismic services. In August 1997, the Company added a new, sixth data acquisition crew. To further complement capacity, the Company has continually added channels to each of its crews. The increase in the quarter ended March 31, 1998 versus the same period of fiscal 1997 indicates the effect of weather and permitting problems. Operating expenses for the six months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $18,901,000, an increase of $4,188,000, or 28.5%, over the same period of fiscal 1997. For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, operating expenses increased $1,895,000, or 23.9%. Operating expenses increased primarily as a result of increased personnel and other expenses associated with equipment acquisitions and technological upgrades. The Company experienced two "one time" events during the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company received insurance proceeds of approximately $380,000 resulting from livestock induced damages to equipment, which was recognized as expense in fiscal 1997; and incurred approximately $160,000 in equipment rental expense. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $965,000, an increase of $299,000 from the same period of fiscal 1997. For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, general and administrative expenses totaled $483,000, an increase of $137,000 from the same quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase primarily reflects additional personnel required to support expanding operations. General and administrative expenses totaled 3.5% of operating revenues for the six months ended March 31, 1998 versus 3.1% of operating revenues for the same period of the prior year. Depreciation for the six months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $4,355,000, an increase of $584,000 from the same period of fiscal 1997. For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, depreciation increased $338,000, or 17.7%. Depreciation increased as a result of the capital expansion discussed below in "Liquidity and Capital Resources." Total operating costs for the first six months of fiscal 1998 totaled $24,221,000, an increase of 26.5%, from the same period of fiscal 1997 due to the factors described above. For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, operating costs increased 23.3% from the same period of the prior year. These increases are consistent with the high proportion of relatively fixed total operating costs (including personnel costs and depreciation) in conjunction with the addition of the Company's sixth crew in August 1997. Due to the unfavorable circumstances described above, income from operations of $1,022,000 represents 7.5% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to a ratio of 13.3% for the -8- 9 same period of the prior year. For the six-month periods of fiscal years 1998 and 1997, the ratios of income from operations to revenues of 11.4% and 12.0% respectively, indicate the ability of results from operations to absorb some degree of negative impacts. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash Flows Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 1998 of $1,876,000 as compared to $4,013,000 for the same period of the prior year is a decrease of $2,137,000. While net income and depreciation resulted in increases for fiscal 1998 from fiscal 1997, the net decrease is due to fluctuations in working capital components. Net cash used in investing activities increased to $14,937,000 from $3,986,000 resulting from investment of offering proceeds and increased capital expenditures in the first six months of fiscal 1998 as compared to the same period of fiscal 1997. The cash flows provided by financing activities for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 represent the net of the offering proceeds reduced by the retirement of debt. Capital Expenditures The Company continually strives to supply market demand with technologically advanced 3-D data acquisition recording systems and leading edge data processing capabilities. In April of 1998 the Company announced the purchase of a 3,100- channel Input/Output System Two Remote Recording System to replace the Halliburton MDS-18X recording system. The approximate cost of the new system is $5,000,000. Capital expenditures to date, as well as an additional $7,800,000 committed for the remainder of fiscal 1998, are for various additions and replacements of cables and geophones, the continuous effort to sustain a safe fleet of vehicles, the next generation of mainframe computers for data processing, and leasehold improvements for the move of our corporate office. Depreciation has increased as a new crew has been placed into service each year for the past several years. Capital Resources The Company believes that its capital resources including its holdings of marketable securities, the availability of bank borrowings, and cash flow from operations are adequate to meet its current operational needs and finance capital needs as determined by market demand and technological developments. -9- 10 SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
