Forward-looking Statements
This presentation contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on
managements 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
Companys 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 Companys 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, 2010.  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.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest income (expense), taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairments.
Although not prescribed under GAAP, we believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful because it helps our
investors understand our operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with those of other companies that have
different financing, capital or tax structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net
earnings (loss) as an indication of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. A
reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is included in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be
comparable to EBITDA measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for
discretionary use.
