Forward-looking Statements
This presentation contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on management’s
current expectations and assumptions about future events. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied
by words such as “estimate,”
“project,”
“predict,”
“expect,”
“anticipate,”
“plan,”
“intend,”
“seek,”
“will,”
“should,”
“goal,”
and other words that convey the uncertainty of future events and outcomes. Forward-looking information
includes , among other matters, statements regarding the Company’s anticipated growth, quality of assets, rig
utilization rate, capital spending by oil and gas companies, production rates, the Company's growth strategy, and
the
Company's
international
operations.
Although
the
Company
believes
that
the
expectations
and
assumptions
reflected
in
such
forward-looking
statements
are
reasonable,
it
can
give
no
assurance
that
such
expectations
and
assumptions
will
prove
to
have
been
correct.
Such
statements
are
subject
to
certain
risks,
uncertainties
and
assumptions, including, among others: general and regional economic conditions and industry trends; the
continued
strength
of
the
contract
land
drilling
industry
in
the
geographic
areas
where
the
Company
operates;
decisions about onshore exploration and development projects to be made by oil and gas companies; the highly
competitive nature of the contract land drilling business; the Company’s future financial performance, including
availability,
terms
and
deployment
of
capital;
the
continued
availability
of
qualified
personnel;
changes
in
governmental regulations, including those relating to the environment; the political, economic and other
uncertainties encountered in the Company's international operations and other risks, contingencies and
uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Should one or more
of these risks, contingencies or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results may vary materially from those expected.  Many of these factors have been discussed in more detail in the
Company's
annual
report
on
Form
10-K
for
the
fiscal
year
ended
December
31,
2008
and
quarterly
reports
on
Form
10Q
for
the
quarters
ended
March
31,
2009,
June
30,
2009
and
September
30,
2009.
Unpredictable
or
unknown
factors that the Company has not discussed in this presentation or in its filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission could also have material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of the forward-
looking
statements.
All
forward-looking
statements
speak
only
as
the
date
on
which
they
are
made
and
the
Company undertakes no duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements. We advise our shareholders to
use caution and common sense when considering our forward looking statements.
