Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
1. Organization and Description of Business
WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited (the Company) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in July 1998. The Company provides installation, engineering, procurement and construction services, as well as operation and maintenance services for natural gas compression facilities at the Santa Bárbara/Pirital oil field property of PDVSA Petróleo, S.A. (PDVSA) in Venezuela. Williams International PIGAP Limited, a subsidiary of Williams International Company, owns all 70 outstanding Class A common shares, and Hanover Cayman Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Hanover Compression Limited Partnership), owns all 30 Class B common shares of the Company.
The Company has entered into a services contract with PDVSA. Under the terms of this contract, the Company designed and built a high-pressure plant, which was completed in August 2001, and renders natural gas compression services on behalf of PDVSA at the Company’s own expense and risk. The contract has an initial term of 20 years. After this term, PDVSA is under no obligation to receive these services. The services rendered by the Company generate a service fee from PDVSA, which is the primary source of revenue for the Company. The Company does not require collateral for credit extended to PDVSA. At the end of the contract, PDVSA has the option to 1) renew the current service agreement, allowing the Company to retain ownership of the assets, 2) purchase the PIGAP II assets at book value, which is expected to be an insignificant amount, and either retain the Company under an operations and management agreement or terminate its relationship with the Company, or 3) require the Company to dismantle the assets and restore the land to its original condition.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand and time deposits, certificates of deposit and other marketable securities with maturities of three months or less when acquired.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents within current assets consists primarily of bank accounts restricted under the Company’s loan agreement with Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), ABN AMRO Bank N.V., and Istituto per i Servizi Assicurativi del Commercio Estero (SACE) (see Note 6) for receipt of revenue, payment of operating and maintenance expenses, distributions to shareholders and funding for the next semi-annual debt principal and interest payment. Restricted cash and cash equivalents within noncurrent assets consists primarily of bank accounts restricted under the loan agreement with OPIC and SACE for six months of principal and interest payments and an uninsured loss reserve. The Company does not expect these cash and cash equivalents to be released within the next twelve months.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried on a gross basis, with no discounting, less the allowance for doubtful accounts. No allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized at the time the revenue, which generates the accounts receivable, is recognized. An allowance for doubtful accounts is not common for the Company as it only has one customer. However, management assesses the collectibility of accounts receivable based on existing economic conditions and contractual terms with its client. Receivables are considered past due if payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.
Derivative instruments
During 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement to hedge the interest rate risk associated with its loan agreement. This derivative instrument protects against increases in the LIBOR interest rates above 5.85 percent. This derivative is reflected on the balance sheet at fair value and has been designated in a cash flow hedging relationship. The effective portion of the change in fair value is reported in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged

7

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
item affects earnings. To match the underlying transaction being hedged, derivative gains or losses reclassified into earnings are recognized in interest expense. The hedging relationship is regularly evaluated to determine whether it is expected to be, and has been a highly effective hedge. Forecasted transactions designated as the hedged item are regularly evaluated to assess whether they continue to be probable of occurring. During 2005, there are no amounts excluded from the effectiveness calculation and no hedge ineffectiveness. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has hedged future cash flows associated with interest payments for 10 years, and, based on recorded values at December 31, 2005, no significant gains or losses are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next year.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost. The carrying value of these assets is based on estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to capitalized costs, useful lives and salvage values. Improvements increasing functionality or useful lives are added to the cost of the corresponding assets, while the cost of repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. All spare parts inventory items in excess of $2,500 are capitalized and recorded at historical cost and expensed upon usage. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. An estimated useful life of 20 years is used for natural gas compression plant facilities and an estimated useful life of 5 years is used for all other property, plant and equipment.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and that the associated asset retirement costs be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The Company has not recorded an asset retirement obligation based on a 100% probability assessment that PDVSA, under the contract terms, will obtain the Pigap II facility and assume all retirement obligations at the end of the contract term.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company recognizes revenue for services in the period they are performed. On December 27, 2002, the Company received $10.3 million from PDVSA for achieving specified production levels within a certain number of days after the facility became operational. The payment is a part of the 20-year services agreement with PDVSA. The Company has recorded the payment as deferred revenue and is recognizing the revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The evaluation for impairment of assets is done on an individual asset or asset group basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. When such a determination has been made, management’s estimate of undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets is compared to the carrying value of the assets to determine whether impairment has occurred. If an impairment of the carrying value has occurred, the amount of the impairment recognized in the financial statements is determined by estimating the fair value of the assets and recording a loss for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value.
Provision for Severance Benefits
The Company is liable for employee severance benefits, which are a vested right of workers under the Venezuelan Labor Law. These benefits are accrued as service is rendered and transferred monthly to a trust fund on behalf of each worker.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions take place. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in the statements of income.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Taxes
Deferred foreign income tax is computed using the liability method and is provided on all temporary differences between the financial basis and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Management’s judgment and income tax assumptions are used to determine the levels, if any, of valuation allowances associated with deferred foreign tax assets.
3. Risks and Uncertainties
The Company relies on the Venezuelan oil and natural gas industry and is exposed to the operating, geographical and financial risks relevant to this industry. Geographical risks are generated by the political, legal, social and economic conditions of the country. Throughout 2005 and 2004, Venezuela endured abnormal levels of instability in the economic, political, and social environment. On February 4, 2003, the Venezuelan government established a currency exchange control. As a result, there was a 20 percent devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar with respect to the U.S. Dollar during 2004 and a 12 percent devaluation in 2005. The exchange rate at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 2150 and 1920 Venezuelan Bolivars to 1 U.S. dollar, respectively.
Since December 31, 2005, there has been no further devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar. The impact of the devaluation on the Company’s financial statements is minimized by the fact that the Company holds most of its cash in U.S. Dollars.
The Venezuelan economy has been considered hyper-inflationary in the past, but has not been considered hyper-inflationary since 2001. The inflation rate for Venezuela was 14 percent in 2005, compared to 19 percent in 2004, and 27 percent in 2003. The impact of inflation on the Company’s financial results is minimized by contractual terms that allow for tariff increases commensurate with inflation.
There is no certainty of the future political and economic conditions or the impact changes in such conditions may have on laws affecting taxes, exchange rates, currency convertibility, environmental and labor regulations, repatriation of profits and capital return. If the current conditions persist, the Company’s economic, financial and operational capacity could be somehow affected, as well as its organizational structure. However, the conditions in the Company’s contract with PDVSA provide for adjustments for inflation, tariffs paid to the Company in U.S. dollars, and significant fixed tariffs not affected by low volumes from PDVSA. As a result, management believes the impact should not be significant.

In October 2003, the Company received funding under loan agreements with OPIC and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. Interest on the note payable to ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is based on the six-month LIBOR rate plus 0.8 percent (4.81 percent at December 31, 2005). These notes are secured by the physical assets and common stock of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company maintains various restricted bank accounts. The use of each account

is restricted for a specific use including receipt of revenue, payment of operating and maintenance expenses, debt service, uninsured loss reserve, and distributions to shareholders. The loan agreement contains various other restrictive covenants and commitments, including limitations on additional indebtedness, payment of dividends, asset sales and leasing activities.
Aggregate minimum maturities of long-term debt each of the next five years is as follows:
         
2006
  $ 22,310,000  
2007
    22,310,000  
2008
    23,000,000  
2009
    26,220,000  
2010
    26,680,000  
During 2002 through 2004, deferred financing costs of $10.7 million were incurred in connection with the debt issuance. SACE provides a guarantee on behalf of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. for which the Company paid an $18 million fee. These costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the notes. Accumulated amortization of the deferred financing costs is $4.6 million and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had three irrevocable standby letters of credit for $28 million, $12 million, and $5 million issued in favor of PDVSA. The letters of credit renew automatically each year and were issued in connection with the service agreement between the Company and PDVSA. The letters of credit cannot be drawn upon unless the Company defaults on their agreement with PDVSA as outlined in the service agreement.
7. Income Taxes
The Company is subject to Venezuelan corporate income taxes at a 34 percent tax rate on taxable income. Taxable income differs from financial income principally due to adjustments for the difference in reporting currency for book and tax purposes, differences in depreciable lives, and certain permanent differences. Tax losses may be carried forward three years. Venezuelan tax law requires a company that had been operational for more than three years to pay the higher of income tax or business asset tax. Business asset tax was assessed at 1 percent of the average value of the Company’s assets revalued for tax purposes and was repealed as of September 1, 2004.

In 2005, the provision for foreign income tax consists of a deferred provision of $5,822,000. In 2004, the Company’s provision for foreign income tax consisted of a deferred provision of $6,523,000. In 2005, the Company’s effective tax rate is lower than the expected statutory rate primarily due to inflation adjustments offset by the utilization of ITC carryforwards and BAT credit carryforwards in the amounts of $796,000 and $537,000, respectively, plus the utilization of $28,945,000 in NOL carryforwards. All available ITC and BAT credit carryforwards were utilized in 2005 while the remaining NOL balance of $5,500,000 expired at year end 2005. Therefore there were no balances of any type carried forward to the year 2006.
8. Financial Instruments
The Company used the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair-value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the underlying instruments.

8. Financial Instruments (continued)
Derivative asset: Fair value is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using forward-interest rates derived from the year-end yield curve. Fair value was calculated by the financial institution that is the counterparty to the interest rate cap derivative.
Notes payable: The fair value of the fixed rate long-term note was determined based on prices of similar securities with similar terms and credit ratings. The Company used the expertise of an outside investment banking firm to estimate the fair value of this note. The carrying amount of the variable rate long-term notes reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value as this note has an interest rate approximating market.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
1. Organization and Description of Business
WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited, (the Company) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in February 1997. The Company provides installation, engineering, procurement and construction services, as well as operation and maintenance services for natural gas compression facilities at El Furrial oil field, property of PDVSA Petróleo, S.A. (PDVSA) in Venezuela. Williams International El Furrial Limited, a subsidiary of Williams International Company, owns all 25,000 outstanding Class A common shares, and Production Operators Cayman, Incorporated, a subsidiary of Hanover Compression Limited Partnership, owns all 12,500 Class B common shares of the Company.
Under the terms of a services contract with PDVSA, the Company designed and built a high pressure and medium pressure natural gas compression plant and renders natural gas compression services on behalf of PDVSA at the Company’s own expense and risk. The contract has a 15-year term for the medium pressure plant and 20-year term for the high pressure plant. The services rendered by the Company generate a service fee from PDVSA, which is the Company’s primary source of revenue. The Company does not require collateral for credit extended to PDVSA. At the end of the contract, PDVSA has the option to 1) renew the current service agreement, allowing the Company to retain ownership of the assets, 2) purchase the El Furrial assets at book value, which is expected to be an insignificant amount, and either retain the Company under an operations and management agreement or terminate its relationship with the Company, or 3) require the Company to dismantle the assets and restore the land to its original condition.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand and time deposits, certificates of deposit and other marketable securities with maturities of three months or less when acquired.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents within current assets consists primarily of bank accounts restricted under the Company’s loan agreement with Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) (see Note 6) for receipt of revenue, payment of operating and maintenance expenses, distributions to shareholders and funding for the next quarterly debt principal and interest payment. Restricted cash and cash equivalents within noncurrent assets consists primarily of bank accounts restricted under the loan agreement with OPIC for six months of principal and interest payments and an uninsured loss reserve. The Company does not expect these cash and cash equivalents to be released within the next twelve months.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried on a gross basis, with no discounting, less the allowance for doubtful accounts. No allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized at the time the revenue, which generates the accounts receivable, is recognized. An allowance for doubtful accounts is not common for the Company as it only has one customer. However, management assesses the collectibility of accounts receivable based on existing economic conditions, and contractual terms with its client. Receivables are considered past due if payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.

WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost. The carrying value of these assets is also based on estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to capitalized costs, useful lives and salvage values. Improvements increasing functionality or useful lives are added to the cost of the corresponding assets, while the cost of repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. All spare parts inventory items in excess of $2,500 are capitalized and recorded at historical cost and expensed upon usage. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. An estimated useful life of 15 to 20 years is used for natural gas compression plant facilities and an estimated useful life of 5 years is used for all other property, plant and equipment.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and that the associated asset retirement costs be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The Company has not recorded an asset retirement obligation based on a 100% probability assessment that PDVSA, under the contract terms, will obtain the El Furrial facility and assume all retirement obligations at the end of the contract term.
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company recognizes revenue for services in the period they are performed based on contractual terms and associated volumes.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The evaluation for impairment of assets is done on an individual asset or asset group basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. When such a determination has been made, management’s estimate of undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets is

WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
compared to the carrying value of the assets to determine whether impairment has occurred. If an impairment of the carrying value has occurred, the amount of the impairment recognized in the financial statements is determined by estimating the fair value of the assets and recording a loss for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value.
Provision for Severance Benefits
The Company is liable for employee severance benefits, which are a vested right of workers under the Venezuelan Labor Law. These benefits are accrued as service is rendered and transferred monthly to a trust fund on behalf of each worker.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions take place. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in the statements of income.
Income Taxes
Deferred foreign income tax is computed using the liability method and is provided on all temporary differences between the financial basis and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Management’s judgment and income tax assumptions are used to determine the levels, if any, of valuation allowances associated with deferred foreign tax assets.
3. Risks and Uncertainties
The Company relies on the Venezuelan oil and natural gas industry and is exposed to the operating, geographical and financial risks relevant to this industry. Geographical risks are generated by the political, legal, social and economic conditions of the country. Throughout 2005 and 2004, Venezuela endured abnormal levels of instability in the economic, political, and social environment. On February 4, 2003, the Venezuelan government established a currency exchange control. As a result, there was a 20 percent devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar with respect to the U.S. Dollar during 2004 and a 12 percent devaluation in 2005. The exchange rate at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 2150 and 1920 Venezuelan Bolivars to 1 U.S. dollar, respectively.

WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
3. Risks and Uncertainties (continued)
Since December 31, 2005, there has been no further devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar. The impact of the devaluation on the Company’s financial statements is minimized by the fact that the Company holds most of its cash in U.S. Dollars.
The Venezuelan economy has been considered hyper-inflationary in the past, but has not been considered hyper-inflationary since 2001. The inflation rate for Venezuela was 14 percent in 2005, compared to 19 percent in 2004, and 27 percent in 2003. The impact of inflation on the Company’s financial results is minimized by contractual terms that allow for tariff increases commensurate with inflation.
There is no certainty of the future political and economic conditions or the impact changes in such conditions may have on laws affecting taxes, exchange rates, currency convertibility, environmental and labor regulations, repatriation of profits and capital return. If the current conditions persist, the Company’s economic, financial and operational capacity could be somehow affected, as well as its organizational structure. However, the conditions in the Company’s contract with PDVSA provide for adjustments for inflation, tariffs paid to the Company in U.S. dollars, and minimum tariffs when PDVSA’s volumes are low. As a result, management believes the impact should not be significant.
During 2003 the Company received payment of U.S. $8.1 million in Venezuelan Bolivars related to May and June U.S. Dollar invoices. Under the contract terms with PDVSA, these were required to be paid in U.S. Dollars because of the exchange controls currently in place preventing the exchange of Bolivars into U.S. Dollars. The Company is negotiating the return of the Bolivars to PDVSA in exchange for U.S. Dollars. At December 31, 2005, the Company has an $8.1 million receivable for the U.S. Dollars and a $6.0 million payable for the Bolivars on the balance sheet. The payable has decreased due to devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar.

WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited

3. Risks and Uncertainties (continued)
The Company has $9.7 million in accounts receivable at December 31, 2005 due to labor escalation related to April 2004 and November 2004 through December 2005 services. Such amount is based on contractual terms; however, PDVSA is disputing the index used in the calculation of this escalation. The index used has remained the same since the start of the contract. In March 2006, the Company collected 50% of the pending receivables as of November 2005. The Company is negotiating with PDVSA to amend the contract provision regarding the calculation of this escalation factor and to extend the contract. The Company has reduced the receivable balance for amounts offered to PDVSA to complete this contract amendment. The Company believes the remaining receivable will be collected in full.
Our cash equivalents consist of high-quality securities placed with various major financial institutions with credit ratings at or above BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Baa1 by Moody’s Investors Service.
4. Related Party Transactions
The Company reimburses shareholders and affiliated companies (including the following subsidiaries of Williams International Company: WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited, Williams International Venezuela Limited, and Williams International Services Company) for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. These reimbursements totaled $1.7 million and $1.5 million for 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The use of each account is restricted for a specific use including receipt of revenue, payment of operating and maintenance expenses, debt service, uninsured loss reserve, and distributions to shareholders. The loan agreement with OPIC contains various other restrictive covenants and commitments, including limitations on additional indebtedness, payment of dividends and asset sales.
Aggregate minimum maturities of long-term debt total $11,868,132 for each of the next five years.
During 1999, deferred financing costs of $6.6 million were incurred in connection with the debt issuance. The costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the notes. Accumulated amortization of the deferred financing costs is $2.7 million and $2.2 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

7. Income Taxes
The Company is subject to Venezuelan corporate income taxes at a 34 percent tax rate on taxable income. Taxable income differs from financial income principally due to adjustments for the difference in reporting currency for book and tax purposes, differences in depreciable lives, and certain permanent differences. Tax losses may be carried forward three years. Venezuelan tax law required a company that had been operational for more than three years to pay the higher of income tax or business asset tax. Business asset tax was assessed at one percent of the average value of the Company’s assets revalued for tax purposes and was repealed as of September 1, 2004.
Significant components of deferred taxes at December 31 are as follows:
                 
    2005   2004
     
Deferred tax liabilities:
               
Property, plant and equipment
  $ 21,146,000     $ 17,965,000  
Debt financing costs
    1,326,000       1,661,000  
     
Total deferred tax liability
  $ 22,472,000     $ 19,626,000  
     
In 2005, the foreign income tax of $9,677,000 consists of foreign income tax of $6,831,000 and deferred provision of $2,846,000. In 2004, the Company’s foreign income tax of $4,089,000 consisted of foreign income tax of $884,000 and deferred provision of $3,205,000. In 2005, the Company’s effective tax rate is more than the expected statutory rate primarily due to inflation adjustments.

8. Financial Instruments
The Company used the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair-value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the underlying instruments.
Notes payable: The fair value of the long-term notes was determined based on prices of similar securities with similar terms and credit ratings. The Company used the expertise of an outside investment banking firm to estimate the fair value of the notes.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003
1. Organization and Description of Business
WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited (the Company) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in July 1998. The Company provides installation, engineering, procurement and construction services, as well as operation and maintenance services for natural gas compression facilities at the Santa Bárbara/Pirital oil field property of PDVSA Petróleo, S.A. (PDVSA), formerly PDVSA Petróleo y Gas, S.A., in Venezuela. Williams International PIGAP Limited, a subsidiary of Williams International Company, owns all 70 outstanding Class A common shares, and Hanover Cayman Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Hanover Compression Limited Partnership), owns all 30 Class B common shares of the Company.
The Company has entered into a services contract with PDVSA. Under the terms of this contract, the Company designed and built a high-pressure plant, which was completed in August 2001, and renders natural gas compression services on behalf of PDVSA at the Company’s own expense and risk. The contract has an initial term of 20 years. After this term, PDVSA is under no obligation to receive these services. The services rendered by the Company generate a service fee from PDVSA, which is the primary source of revenue for the Company. The Company does not require collateral for credit extended to PDVSA. At the end of the contract, PDVSA has the option to 1) renew the current service agreement, allowing the Company to retain ownership of the assets, 2) purchase the PIGAP II assets at book value, which is expected to be an insignificant amount, and either retain the Company under an operations and management agreement or terminate its relationship with the Company, or 3) require the Company to dismantle the assets and restore the land to its original condition.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand and time deposits, certificates of deposit and other marketable securities with maturities of three months or less when acquired.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents within current assets consists primarily of bank accounts restricted under the Company’s loan agreement with Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), ABN AMRO Bank N.V., and Istituto per i Servizi Assicurativi del Commercio Estero (SACE) (see Note 6) for receipt of revenue, payment of operating and maintenance expenses, distributions to shareholders and funding for the next semi-annual debt principal and interest payment. Restricted cash and cash equivalents within noncurrent assets consists primarily of bank accounts restricted under the loan agreement with OPIC and SACE for six months of principal and interest payments and an uninsured loss reserve. The Company does not expect these cash and cash equivalents to be released within the next twelve months.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried on a gross basis, with no discounting, less the allowance for doubtful accounts. No allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized at the time the revenue, which generates the accounts receivable, is recognized. An allowance for doubtful accounts is not common for the Company as it only has one customer. However, management assesses the collectibility of accounts receivable based on existing economic conditions and contractual terms with its client. Receivables are considered past due if payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.
Derivative instruments
During 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement to hedge the interest rate risk associated with its loan agreement. This derivative instrument protects against increases in the LIBOR interest rates above 5.85 percent. This derivative is reflected on the balance sheet at fair value and has been designated in a cash flow hedging relationship. The effective portion of the change in fair value is reported in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged

7

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
item affects earnings. To match the underlying transaction being hedged, derivative gains or losses reclassified into earnings are recognized in interest expense. The hedging relationship is regularly evaluated to determine whether it is expected to be, and has been a highly effective hedge. Forecasted transactions designated as the hedged item are regularly evaluated to assess whether they continue to be probable of occurring. During 2004, there are no amounts excluded from the effectiveness calculation and no hedge ineffectiveness. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has hedged future cash flows associated with interest payments for 12 years, and, based on recorded values at December 31, 2004, no significant gains or losses are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next year.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost. The carrying value of these assets is based on estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to capitalized costs, useful lives and salvage values. Improvements increasing useful lives are added to the cost of the corresponding assets, while the cost of repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. All spare parts inventory items in excess of $2,500 are capitalized and recorded at historical cost and expensed upon usage. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. An estimated useful life of 20 years is used for natural gas compression plant facilities and an estimated useful life of 5 years is used for all other property, plant and equipment.
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and that the associated asset retirement costs be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The Company has not recorded an asset retirement obligation based on a 100% probability assessment that PDVSA, under the contract terms, will obtain the Pigap II facility and assume all retirement obligations at the end of the contract term.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, to clarify certain terms and requirements of SFAS No. 143. The Company does not anticipate any material impact to its financial position or results of operations in 2005.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company recognizes revenue for services in the period they are performed. On December 27, 2002, the Company received $10.3 million from PDVSA for achieving specified production levels within a certain number of days after the facility became operational. The payment is a part of the 20-year services agreement with PDVSA. The Company has recorded the payment as deferred revenue and is recognizing the revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The evaluation for impairment of assets is done on an individual asset or asset group basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. When such a determination has been made, management’s estimate of undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets is compared to the carrying value of the assets to determine whether impairment has occurred. If an impairment of the carrying value has occurred, the amount of the impairment recognized in the financial statements is determined by estimating the fair value of the assets and recording a loss for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value.
Provision for Severance Benefits
The Company is liable for employee severance benefits, which are a vested right of workers under the Venezuelan Labor Law. These benefits are accrued as service is rendered and transferred monthly to a trust fund on behalf of each worker.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions take place. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in the statements of income.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Taxes
Deferred foreign income tax is computed using the liability method and is provided on all temporary differences between the financial basis and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Management’s judgment and income tax assumptions are used to determine the levels, if any, of valuation allowances associated with deferred foreign tax assets.
Change in Presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
3. Risks and Uncertainties
The Company relies on the Venezuelan oil and natural gas industry and is exposed to the operating, geographical and financial risks relevant to this industry. Geographical risks are generated by the political, legal, social and economic conditions of the country. Throughout 2004 and 2003, Venezuela endured abnormal levels of instability in the economic, political, and social environment. On February 4, 2003, the Venezuelan government established a currency exchange control. As a result, there was a 14 percent devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar with respect to the U.S. Dollar during 2003 and a 20 percent devaluation in 2004. The exchange rate at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was 1920 and 1600 Venezuelan Bolivars to 1 U.S. dollar, respectively.
Since December 31, 2004, the Venezuelan Bolivar has declined an additional 12 percent to 2150 in March 2005. The impact of the devaluation on the Company’s financial statements is minimized by the fact that the Company holds most of its cash in U.S. Dollars.
In December 2002, a national strike was initiated that included the majority of the economic and productive sectors, including the oil industry, which contributes a substantial amount of foreign currency income to the country. The national strike continued until the beginning of February 2003. This situation caused a strong economic tapering in the business environment resulting in shortages of consumer products and fuel. In addition, PDVSA experienced considerable changes in management and

3. Risks and Uncertainties (continued)
organizational structure. However, the Company’s operations were proven to be critical and strategic to the oil production of PDVSA during and in the period since the national strike ended.
The Venezuelan economy has been considered hyper-inflationary in the past, but it was no longer considered hyper-inflationary as of January 1, 2002. The inflation rate for Venezuela was 19 percent in 2004, compared to 27 percent in 2003, and 31 percent in 2002. The impact of inflation on the Company’s financial results is minimized by contractual terms that allow for tariff increases commensurate with inflation.
There is no certainty of the future political and economic conditions or the impact changes in such conditions may have on laws affecting taxes, exchange rates, currency convertibility, environmental and labor regulations, repatriation of profits and capital return. If the current conditions persist, the Company’s economic, financial and operational capacity could be somehow affected, as well as its organizational structure. However, the conditions in the Company’s contract with PDVSA provide for adjustments for inflation, tariffs paid to the Company in U.S. dollars, and significant fixed tariffs not affected by low volumes from PDVSA. As a result, management believes the impact should not be significant.
4. Related Party Transactions
The Company is a member of a group of related companies and has transactions with other related companies based on specified terms. The Company receives or has received technical and personnel assistance from Hanover Cayman Limited Partnership and Williams International Company, a subsidiary of The Williams Companies, Inc. During 2004 and 2003, Hanover Cayman Limited Partnership and Williams International Company did not charge the Company for the technical assistance they provided.
The Company reimburses shareholders and affiliated companies (including WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited, Williams International Venezuela Limited, and Williams International Services Company, which are all subsidiaries of Williams International Company) for amounts remitted and expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. In addition, the Company receives reimbursements from shareholders and affiliated companies for amounts the Company has remitted on their behalf.

In October 2003, the Company received funding under loan agreements with OPIC and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. SACE provides a guarantee on behalf of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. for which the Company paid an $18 million fee which is being amortized over the life of the loan. Interest on the note payable to ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is based on the six-month LIBOR rate plus 0.8 percent (2.86 percent at December 31, 2004). These notes are secured by the physical assets and common stock of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company maintains various restricted bank accounts. The use of each account is restricted for a specific use including receipt of revenue, payment of operating and maintenance expenses, debt service, uninsured loss reserve, and distributions to shareholders. The loan agreement contains various other restrictive covenants and commitments, including limitations on additional indebtedness, payment of dividends, asset sales and leasing activities.

On July 20, 2004 the Company received a notice of default from PDVSA relating to certain operational issues alleging non-compliance under the Company’s services agreement. The Company does not believe there is a basis for such notice. The notice of default from PDVSA could have resulted in an event of default with respect to project loans totaling $207,690,000. On January 10, 2005, the Company obtained a waiver from the lenders concerning the notice of default from PDVSA. The waiver will immediately terminate if PDVSA takes any action evidencing their intention to pursue any right or remedy for the alleged event of default. To date, PDVSA has not taken any action, nor given any indication they will take any action, to pursue any such right or remedy relating to this matter. Moreover, in February of 2005, PDVSA provided the Company with a letter confirming there is no current event of default under the services agreement. Since there is no current event of default, the Company will continue to classify this debt as non-current on its balance sheet.
7. Income Taxes
The Company is subject to Venezuelan corporate income taxes at a 34 percent tax rate on taxable income. Taxable income differs from financial income principally due to adjustments for the difference in reporting currency for book and tax purposes, differences in depreciable lives, and certain permanent differences. Tax losses may be carried forward three years. Venezuelan tax law requires a company that had been operational for more than three years to pay the higher of income tax or business asset tax. Business asset tax was assessed at 1 percent of the average value of the Company’s assets revalued for tax purposes and was repealed as of September 1, 2004.

Net deferred tax liability
  $ 15,385,000     $ 9,372,000  
     
For the year 2004 the Company applied a valuation allowance against its investment tax credit carryforwards, business asset tax carryforward and net operating loss carryforward, and in 2003 against its investment tax credit carryforwards and net operating loss carryforward. The valuation allowance was established because management is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that they will be realized during the carryforward period due to the Company’s current tax paying position and the uncertainty associated with the impact of inflation accounting and currency devaluation.
In 2003, the Company’s provision for foreign income tax of $6,464,000 consisted of a business asset tax of $530,000 and a deferred provision of $5,934,000. In 2004, the provision for foreign income tax consists of a deferred provision of $6,523,000. In 2004, the Company’s effective tax rate is lower than the expected statutory rate primarily due to inflation adjustments offset by the utilization of ITC carryforwards in the amount of $9,451,000. At December 31, 2004, the Company adjusted the NOL, ITC and BAT credit carryforwards for inflation, which resulted in an increase in the carryforward balances available for use in future years in the amount of $7,932,000.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had ITC carryforwards that expired in the amount of $6,590,000 and adjusted ITC carryforwards of $779,000, of which $767,000 expire in 2005, $11,000 expire in 2006 and $1,000 expire in 2007. The Company has an adjusted net operating loss carryforward of $38,545,000, which expires in 2005. The Company had adjusted business asset tax carryforwards of $526,000, which expire in 2006.
8. Financial Instruments
The Company used the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair-value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the underlying instruments.
Derivative asset: Fair value is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using forward-interest rates derived from the year-end yield curve. Fair value was calculated by the financial institution that is the counterparty to the interest rate cap derivative.
Notes payable: The fair value of the fixed rate long-term note was determined based on prices of similar securities with similar terms and credit ratings. The Company used the expertise of an outside investment banking firm to estimate the fair value of this note. The carrying amount of the variable rate long-term notes reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value as this note has an interest rate approximating market.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003
1. Organization and Description of Business
WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited, (the Company) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in February 1997. The Company provides installation, engineering, procurement and construction services, as well as operation and maintenance services for natural gas compression facilities at El Furrial oil field, property of PDVSA Petróleo, S.A. (PDVSA), formerly PDVSA Petróleo y Gas, S.A., in Venezuela. Williams International El Furrial Limited, a subsidiary of Williams International Company, owns all 25,000 outstanding Class A common shares, and Production Operators Cayman, Incorporated, a subsidiary of Hanover Compression Limited Partnership, owns all 12,500 Class B common shares of the Company.
Williams International Company and Production Operators Cayman, Incorporated entered into a services contract with PDVSA. The Company subsequently assumed the rights and obligations held by Williams International Company and Production Operators Cayman, Incorporated under the services contract. Under the terms of the contract, the Company designed and built a high pressure and medium pressure natural gas compression plant and renders natural gas compression services on behalf of PDVSA at the Company’s own expense and risk. The contract has a 15-year term for the medium pressure plant and 20-year term for the high pressure plant. The services rendered by the Company generate a service fee from PDVSA, which is the Company’s primary source of revenue. The Company does not require collateral for credit extended to PDVSA. At the end of the contract, PDVSA has the option to 1) renew the current service agreement, allowing the Company to retain ownership of the assets, 2) purchase the El Furrial assets at book value, which is expected to be an insignificant amount, and either retain the Company under an operations and management agreement or terminate its relationship with the Company, or 3) require the Company to dismantle the assets and restore the land to its original condition.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand and time deposits, certificates of deposit and other marketable securities with maturities of three months or less when acquired.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents within current assets consists primarily of bank accounts restricted under the Company’s loan agreement with Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) (see Note 6) for receipt of revenue, payment of operating and maintenance expenses, distributions to shareholders and funding for the next quarterly debt principal and interest payment. Restricted cash and cash equivalents within noncurrent assets consists primarily of bank accounts restricted under the loan agreement with OPIC for six months of principal and interest payments and an uninsured loss reserve. The Company does not expect these cash and cash equivalents to be released within the next twelve months.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried on a gross basis, with no discounting, less the allowance for doubtful accounts. No allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized at the time the revenue, which generates the accounts receivable, is recognized. An allowance for doubtful accounts is not common for the Company as it only has one customer. However, management assesses the collectibility of accounts receivable based on existing economic conditions, and contractual terms with its client. Receivables are considered past due if payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost. The carrying value of these assets is also based on estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to capitalized costs, useful lives and salvage values. Improvements increasing useful lives are added to the cost of the corresponding assets, while the cost of repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. All spare parts inventory items in excess of $2,500 are capitalized and recorded at historical cost and expensed upon usage. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. An estimated useful life of 15 to 20 years is used for natural gas compression plant facilities and an estimated useful life of 5 years is used for all other property, plant and equipment.
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and that the associated asset retirement costs be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The Company has not recorded an asset retirement obligation based on a 100% probability assessment that PDVSA, under the contract terms, will obtain the El Furrial facility and assume all retirement obligations at the end of the contract term.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, to clarify certain terms and requirements of SFAS No. 143. The Company does not anticipate any material impact to its financial position or results of operations in 2005.
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company recognizes revenue for services in the period they are performed based on contractual terms and associated volumes.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The evaluation for impairment of assets is done on an individual asset or asset group basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. When such a determination has been made, management’s estimate of undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets is

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
compared to the carrying value of the assets to determine whether impairment has occurred. If an impairment of the carrying value has occurred, the amount of the impairment recognized in the financial statements is determined by estimating the fair value of the assets and recording a loss for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value.
Provision for Severance Benefits
The Company is liable for employee severance benefits, which are a vested right of workers under the Venezuelan Labor Law. These benefits are accrued as service is rendered and transferred monthly to a trust fund on behalf of each worker.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions take place. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in the statements of income.
Income Taxes
Deferred foreign income tax is computed using the liability method and is provided on all temporary differences between the financial basis and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Management’s judgment and income tax assumptions are used to determine the levels, if any, of valuation allowances associated with deferred foreign tax assets.
3. Risks and Uncertainties
The Company relies on the Venezuelan oil and natural gas industry and is exposed to the operating, geographical and financial risks relevant to this industry. Geographical risks are generated by the political, legal, social and economic conditions of the country. Throughout 2004 and 2003, Venezuela endured abnormal levels of instability in the economic, political, and social environment. On February 4, 2003, the Venezuelan government established a currency exchange control. As a result, there was a 14 percent devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar with respect to the U.S. Dollar during 2003 and a 20 percent devaluation in 2004. The exchange rate at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was 1920 and 1600 Venezuelan Bolivars to 1 U.S. dollar, respectively.

3. Risks and Uncertainties (continued)
Since December 31, 2004, the Venezuelan Bolivar has declined an additional 12 percent to 2150 in March 2005. The impact of the devaluation on the Company’s financial statements is minimized by the fact that the Company holds most of its cash in U.S. Dollars.
In December 2002, a national strike was initiated that included the majority of the economic and productive sectors, including the oil industry, which contributes a substantial amount of foreign currency income to the country. The national strike continued until the beginning of February 2003. This situation has caused a strong economic tapering in the business environment resulting in shortages of consumer products and fuel. In addition, PDVSA experienced considerable changes in management and organizational structure. However, the Company’s operations were proven to be critical and strategic to the oil production of PDVSA during and in the period since the national strike ended.
The Venezuelan economy has been considered hyper-inflationary in the past, but it was no longer considered hyper-inflationary as of January 1, 2002. The inflation rate for Venezuela was 19 percent in 2004, compared to 27 percent in 2003, and 31 percent in 2002. The impact of inflation on the Company’s financial results is minimized by contractual terms that allow for tariff increases commensurate with inflation.
There is no certainty of the future political and economic conditions or the impact changes in such conditions may have on laws affecting taxes, exchange rates, currency convertibility, environmental and labor regulations, repatriation of profits and capital return. If the current conditions persist, the Company’s economic, financial and operational capacity could be somehow affected, as well as its organizational structure. However, the conditions in the Company’s contract with PDVSA provide for adjustments for inflation, tariffs paid to the Company in U.S. dollars, and minimum tariffs when PDVSA’s volumes are low. As a result, management believes the impact should not be significant.
During 2003 the Company received payment of U.S. $8.1 million in Venezuelan Bolivars related to May and June U.S. Dollar invoices. Under the contract terms with PDVSA, these were required to be paid in U.S. Dollars because of the exchange controls currently in place preventing the exchange of Bolivars into U.S. Dollars. The Company is negotiating the return of the Bolivars to PDVSA in exchange for U.S. Dollars. At December 31, 2004, the Company has an $8.1 million receivable for the U.S. Dollars and a $6.8 million payable for the Bolivars on the balance sheet. The payable has decreased due to devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar.

3. Risks and Uncertainties (continued)
The Company has $11.8 million in accounts receivable at December 31, 2004 due to labor escalation related to May 2003 through December 2004 services. Such amount is based on contractual terms; however, PDVSA is disputing the index used in the calculation of this escalation. The index used has remained the same since the start of the contract. In February 2005, the Company collected 54% of this receivable for May 2003 through March 2004 for the High Pressure Plant and through May 2004 for the Medium Pressure Plant. The Company believes this receivable will be collected in full.
4. Related Party Transactions
The Company receives technical assistance from Hanover Compression Limited Partnership and Williams International Company, a subsidiary of The Williams Companies, Inc. During 2004 and 2003, Hanover Compression Limited Partnership and Williams International Company did not charge the Company for the technical assistance they provided.
The Company reimburses shareholders and affiliated companies (including the following subsidiaries of Williams International Company: WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited, and Williams International Services Company) for amounts remitted and expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. In addition, the Company receives reimbursements from shareholders and affiliated companies for amounts the Company has remitted on their behalf.

6. Notes Payable (continued)
These notes are secured by the physical assets and common stock of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company maintains various restricted bank accounts. The use of each account is restricted for a specific use including receipt of revenue, payment of operating and maintenance expenses, debt service, uninsured loss reserve, and distributions to shareholders. The loan agreement with OPIC contains various other restrictive covenants and commitments, including limitations on additional indebtedness, payment of dividends and asset sales.
Aggregate minimum maturities of long-term debt total $11,868,132 for each of the next five years.
7. Income Taxes
The Company is subject to Venezuelan corporate income taxes at a 34 percent tax rate on taxable income. Taxable income differs from financial income principally due to adjustments for the difference in reporting currency for book and tax purposes, differences in depreciable lives, and certain permanent differences. Tax losses may be carried forward three years. Venezuelan tax law required a company that had been operational for more than three years to pay the higher of income tax or business asset tax. Business asset tax was assessed at one percent of the average value of the Company’s assets revalued for tax purposes and was repealed as of September 1, 2004.

Significant components of deferred taxes at December 31 are as follows:
                 
    2004   2003
     
Deferred tax liabilities:
               
Property, plant and equipment
  $ 17,965,000     $ 14,760,000  
Debt financing costs
    1,661,000       1,661,000  
     
Total deferred tax liabilities
    19,626,000       16,421,000  
 
               
Deferred tax assets:
               
Investment tax credit carryforward (ITC)
          1,062,000  
Business asset tax carryforward (BAT)
          2,709,000  
Net operating loss carryforward (NOL)
          1,673,000  
     
 
          5,444,000  
Valuation allowance
          (5,444,000 )
     
Total deferred tax assets
           
     
Net deferred tax liability
  $ 19,626,000     $ 16,421,000  
     
For the year 2003 the Company applied a valuation allowance against its investment tax credit carryforwards, business asset tax carryforwards, and net operating loss carryforward. The valuation allowance was established because management was unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that they will be realized during the carryforward period due to the Company’s current tax paying position and the uncertainty associated with the impact of inflation accounting and currency devaluation.
In 2003, the Company’s foreign income tax of $4,451,000 consisted of business asset tax of $1,320,000 and deferred provision of $3,131,000. In 2004, the foreign income tax of $4,089,000 consists of foreign income tax of $884,000 and deferred provision of $3,205,000. In 2004, the Company’s effective tax rate is less than the expected statutory rate primarily due to inflation adjustments offset by NOL carryforwards of $4,886,000 and, ITC and BAT credits utilized of $3,757,000. At December 31, 2004 the Company adjusted the ITC, BAT and NOL carryforwards for inflation, which resulted in an increase in the carryforward balances in the amount of $1,389,000.
As a result of the full utilization of the NOL, ITC and BAT credit carryovers and current year ITC there are no carryforwards to the year 2005.

8. Financial Instruments
The Company used the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair-value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the underlying instruments.
Notes payable: The fair value of the long-term notes was determined based on prices of similar securities with similar terms and credit ratings. The Company used the expertise of an outside investment banking firm to estimate the fair value of the notes.
