Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the "Financial Statements") reflect all adjustments, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The Financial Statements, including selected notes, are prepared in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting and do not include all information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for comprehensive financial statement reporting. These interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (the "Annual Report"). A copy of the Annual Report is available on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov, under the Company's ticker symbol ("FTK") or alternatively by visiting Flotek's website, www.flotekind.com. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income.
