NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements included herein, which have not been audited pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods on a basis consistent with the annual audited statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period of a full year. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC on March 16, 2007.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. If the carrying amount of the asset, including any intangible assets associated with that asset, exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow, before interest, we will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between its carrying amount and its estimated fair value.
Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their net book value or their net realizable value which is determined based upon an estimate of their fair market value less the cost of selling the assets. An impairment is recorded to the extent that the amount that was carried on the books is in excess of the net realizable value. Assets held for sale at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007 are comprised of eight marsh buggies. At June 30, 2007, no impairment of long-lived assets was necessary.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
We consider highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The $1.1 million included in restricted cash at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007 represents cash held in escrow related to the purchase of an aircraft.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
We have two stock-based compensation plans available to grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted units and restricted stock to key employees. As of June 30, 2007, the OMNI Energy Services Corp. Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, provides for 2,750,000 shares of our common stock. The principal awards outstanding under our stock-based compensation plans include non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units. In addition, we have the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the 1999 Plan) which became effective on November 11, 1999 and was not approved by the stockholders. The total shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 1999 Plan is 100,000 shares.
The exercise price, term and other conditions applicable to each stock option granted under the stock plans are generally determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The exercise price of stock options is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share of our stock on that date. The options generally become exercisable over a three-year period and expire after ten years.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) requiring that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and related interpretations. We also followed the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.
There was $0.4 million and $0.5 million of compensation cost related to the vesting of non-qualified stock options recognized in operating results (included in general and administrative expenses) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatility is based on implied volatilities from long-term traded options on our stock. We used the simplified method to derive an
8
expected term. The expected term represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following table sets forth the assumptions used to determine compensation cost for our non-qualified stock options consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 123R. The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, was $3.08 and $4.68 per option.

The total intrinsic value of options (which is the amount by which the stock price exceeded the exercise price of the options on the date of exercise) exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $0.4 million and $1.4 million (employee share), respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the amount of cash we retained from the exercise of stock options was approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million (Company share), respectively.

RECENTLY ISSUED UNIMPLEMENTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. It does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We
9
are currently assessing whether we will early adopt SFAS No. 157 as permitted, and are currently evaluating the impact adoption may have on our financial statements.

SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY
Effective March 2, 2007, we increased our credit facility to $64.5 million (Senior Credit Facility), including a $37.0 million term loan (Term Loan), a $25.0 million working capital revolving line of credit (Revolver), and a $2.5 million capital expenditure loan (Capex Loan), with a bank. The Revolver replaced our previous line of credit (the Line). Availability under the Revolver is the lower of: (i) $25.0 million or (ii) the sum of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, as defined under the agreement. The Revolver accrues interest at the 30-day LIBOR interest rate plus 2.0% (7.32% at June 30, 2007) and matures in March 2012. The
10
Revolver is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30, 2007, we had $21.5 million outstanding under the Revolver. Due to the lock-box arrangement and the subjective acceleration clause of the Revolver and the Line agreements, the debt under the Revolver and the Line have been classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, as required by Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 95-22, Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements that include both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-box Arrangement.
Under the terms of the Term Loan, the funding limits will be limited to the lesser of $37.0 million and 70% of the orderly liquidation value of our equipment. In addition, the Term Loan matures in March 2012 and will be repaid monthly in equal payments of $0.6 million, with interest paid in arrears and accruing at the annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% (7.32% at June 30, 2007). The Term Loan contains customary financial covenants and limitations on capital expenditures. With the proceeds from the Senior Credit Facility, we (i) repaid approximately $22.0 million outstanding principal balance under our previous Term A and Term B loans; (ii) closed the acquisition of Charles Holston, Inc.; and (iii) completed the acquisition of certain assets of Cypress Consulting Services, Inc. The balance of the proceeds available under the Senior Credit Facility was used to pay fees and expenses of the aforementioned transactions and provide additional working capital. Effective April 29, 2007, the loan and security agreement was amended to remove the restriction on cash dividend payments on the preferred equity shares, provided we had sufficient availability and were in compliance with all other covenants.
Under the terms of the Capex Loan, the funding will be limited to 75% of the purchase price of equipment to be purchased with the proceeds of the Capex Loan. On June 8, 2007, we drew $2.5 million on the Capex Loan. The Capex Loan matures in March 2012 and will be repaid monthly in equal payments of $0.04 million, with interest paid in arrears and accruing at the annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% (7.32% at June 30, 2007). As of June 30, 2007, we had $2.5 million outstanding under the Capex Loan.
At June 30, 2007, we had exceeded the annual capital expenditure limitation included in our Senior Credit Facility. Subsequently, the Lender has approved an amendment to the Senior Credit Facility to increase the capital expenditure covenant from $8.0 to $12.0 million, which allows us to be in compliance with the covenant.
CAPITAL LEASES
Prior to February 2006, we leased several vehicles used in our seismic drilling operations under 40-month capital leases. In February 2006, in accordance with a 2005 agreement, the capital leases on those vehicles were paid off through a refinance transaction with a third party leasing company. The capital leases were replaced with 24-month operating leases expiring in the first quarter of 2008. In December 2006, we acquired a corporate-configured helicopter under capital lease for internal use. The capital lease matures in 2008. In March 2007, we acquired equipment under a capital lease maturing in 2012.
Total cost and accumulated depreciation of assets held under capital lease is as follows:

SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTES
In May 2005, we issued approximately $4.3 million of unsecured, subordinated promissory notes (Subordinated Promissory Notes). The Subordinated Promissory Notes were scheduled to be paid quarterly, with interest in arrears, over 36 months in level payments with interest accruing at the rate of 8% per annum.
In August 2005, we satisfied two of the three holders of the Subordinated Promissory Notes. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the remaining Subordinated Promissory Note had a balance of approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
TRUSSCO NOTES
In connection with the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Trussco, Inc. and all of the membership interests in Trussco Properties, L.L.C. (collectively Trussco), in June 2004, we issued $3.0 million in 5% convertible promissory notes payable to certain stockholders (Stockholder Notes) maturing in June 2007. The Stockholder Notes could have been prepaid at any time and were convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $9.40 per share.
11
In May 2005, in connection with the completion of other financing, we entered into early debt extinguishment agreements with respect to $2.0 million of the Stockholder Notes and $1.0 million of the Earnout Note more fully described in Note 4. In August 2005, we (i) issued 0.2 million shares of our common stock; and (ii) paid certain holders of the Stockholder Notes $1.0 million in cash, in full and complete satisfaction of $2.0 million of the Stockholder Notes and $1.0 million of the Earnout Note.
In July 2006, we prepaid the remaining amount of the Stockholder Notes resulting in a $0.01 million gain from the early extinguishment of this debt. This transaction also resulted in the termination of the Earnout Note.
PREHEAT NOTES
In connection with the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Preheat, Inc. in February 2006, we issued $4.0 million in 5% promissory notes payable to certain Preheat stockholders (Preheat Notes). The Preheat Notes consist of three separate notes with $2.7 million maturing in February 2008 and $1.3 million maturing in February 2009. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the Preheat Notes had a balance of $4.0 million.
RIG TOOLS NOTES
In connection with the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Rig Tools, Inc. in November 2006, we issued $4.0 million in 5% promissory notes payable to certain Rig Tools stockholders (Rig Tools Notes). The Rig Tools Notes consist of three separate notes with $3.0 million maturing in November 2007 and $1.0 million maturing in November 2008. The Rig Tools Notes can be prepaid at any time and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $8.00 per share. We recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $0.7 million related to the stock valuation at closing which is being amortized over the life of the notes. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the Rig Tools Notes had a balance of $4.0 million. The beneficial conversion feature had an unamortized balance of $0.6 million and $0.3 million at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, respectively.
CHARLES HOLSTON NOTES
On March 2, 2007, we acquired Charles Holston, Inc., pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement (Holston Purchase Agreement) to acquire BMJ Industrial Investments, L.L.C. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Charles Holston, Inc., (collectively CHI) (See Note 7). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Holston Purchase Agreement, we issued $5.0 million in 5% promissory notes payable to certain CHI owners (CHI Notes). The CHI Notes consist of three separate notes with $1.0 million maturing in February 2008, $2.0 million maturing in February 2009 and $2.0 million maturing in February 2010. The notes maturing in 2009 and 2010 are convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $9.24 per share. Based upon the stock valuation at the time of issuance, no beneficial conversion feature existed. At June 30, 2007, the CHI Notes had a balance of $5.0 million.
CYPRESS NOTES
In connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Cypress Consulting Services, Inc. (Cypress Energy) (See Note 7) effective February 16, 2007, we issued $3.0 million in a 5% promissory note payable to a certain Cypress Energy stockholder (Cypress Note). The Cypress Note is payable over three years with $1.0 million maturing in February 2008, $1.0 million maturing in February 2009 and $1.0 million maturing in February 2010. At June 30, 2007, the Cypress Note had a balance of $3.0 million.
BAILEY NOTE
In connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Bailey Operating, Inc. (BOI) (See Note 7) effective June 7, 2007, we issued $0.5 million in a 5% promissory note payable to BOI (Bailey Note). The Bailey Note is payable on or before May 31, 2010. At June 30, 2007, the Bailey Note had a balance of $0.5 million.
INSURANCE NOTES PAYABLE
A portion of our property and casualty insurance premiums are financed through certain short-term installment loan agreements. The insurance notes are payable in monthly installments through September 2007 and accrue interest at rates ranging between 5.64% and 6.05%.
NOTE 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
INSURANCE
Trussco, Inc. maintained a self-insurance program for a portion of its health care and workers compensation costs. Preheat, Inc. maintained a partially self-insured program for a portion of its workers compensation, liability and auto coverages. Self-insurance costs are accrued based upon the aggregate of the liability for reported claims and the estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported. As of June 30, 2007, we had no accrued liabilities related to health care and workers compensation claims.
Management is not aware of any significant workers compensation claims or any significant claims incurred but not reported as of June 30, 2007.
12
SERIES A AND SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK LITIGATION
On February 13, 2007, our motion for partial summary judgment on Advantage Capital, et. als (collectively ACP) first amended and superceding reconventional and third party demand was granted. ACP had filed the demand seeking damages for our redeeming rather than converting the Series A and B Preferred Stock. The court determined that ACP consequently abandoned its claim by retaining the proceeds.
TRUSSCO INC. EARNOUT
In connection with the acquisition of Trussco, we issued to certain former shareholders of Trussco a promissory note (Earnout Note) that earned interest at a rate of 5% per annum of the amount owed. Under the terms of the Earnout Note, we agreed to pay these shareholders on or before June 30, 2007, the lesser of (i) the amount of $3.0 million, or (ii) the sum of the product of 3.12 times Trusscos average annual EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization) for the 36 month period ending December 31, 2006 less the sum of $9.0 million plus $1.5 million of Trussco long-term and former shareholder debt existing as of June 30, 2004 that we assumed.
In July 2006, we prepaid this indebtedness resulting in a $0.01 million gain from the early extinguishment of this debt. This transaction resulted in the termination of the Earnout Note.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS
Effective January 5, 2007, we entered into new Restricted Stock and Stock-Based Award Incentive Agreements (RSA) with certain executive officers. The new RSAs replace prior restricted stock agreements. The RSAs provide for the granting of between 400,000 and 500,000 shares of our restricted common stock to each of the executive officers on the terms set forth in the RSAs. The number of shares of restricted stock becomes fixed and payable in the event of (i) a change in control of or the receipt by our Board of Directors of a change of control offer as defined by the RSAs; (ii) termination without cause; or (iii) death or disability. Additionally, at the time of vesting in the restricted shares, each executive officer will receive the right to a cash payment of $1.2 million. The revised RSAs will terminate on December 31, 2008, and any unvested restricted common stock or stock-based awards will terminate and lapse. The intrinsic value of this award at June 30, 2007 is $12.5 million but no compensation expense has been recorded at June 30, 2007 because the award is contingent on future events none of which are considered probable at June 30, 2007.
In addition, we entered into employment contracts with certain key executive management effective until December 31, 2008 with automatic extensions for additional, successive one year periods commencing January 1, 2009, unless either party gives notice of non-renewal as provided for under the terms of the employment contracts.
In connection with the Preheat acquisition, we entered into employment contracts with the two former Preheat stockholders effective until December 31, 2007 with an automatic extension, granted at the option of the Company, for one additional twelve month period commencing January 1, 2008.
In connection with the Rig Tools acquisition, we entered into an employment contract with one of the former stockholders of Rig Tools effective until October 31, 2008 with an automatic extension, granted at the option of the Company, for one additional twelve month period commencing November 1, 2008.
In connection with the CHI acquisition, we entered into a consulting agreement with one of the former stockholders and employment contracts with two of the former stockholders of CHI effective until December 31, 2009 with an automatic extension, granted at the option of the Company, for one additional twelve month period commencing January 1, 2010.
In connection with the Cypress Energy acquisition, we entered into an employment contract with one of the former stockholders of Cypress Energy effective until December 31, 2009 with an automatic extension, granted at the option of the Company, for one additional twelve month period commencing January 1, 2010.
We have entered into employment agreements with two of our divisional vice presidents. Each of the contracts is effective until December 2008 and have provisions for automatic annual renewals unless either party gives notice of non-renewal as provided under the terms of the employment contracts.
OTHER
In the normal course of our business, we become involved in various litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages, personal injuries and other matters. While we believe we have meritorious defenses against these claims, management has used estimates in determining our potential exposure and has recorded reserves in our financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in our estimates of that exposure could occur, but we do not expect such changes in estimated costs will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 5. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
COMMON STOCK
On November 11, 2005, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the Stock Purchase Agreement) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (Fusion Capital). Under terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Fusion Capital has committed to purchase up to $25.0 million of our common stock, at intervals determined by us, at prices determined by a formula set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. As of June 30, 2007, 665,429 shares have been issued under this agreement generating proceeds of $6.4 million.
PREFERRED STOCK
In May 2001, we issued $4.6 million of the Companys Series B Preferred. The Series B Preferred was convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.25 per share. The Preferred Stock earned dividends at a rate of 8%. In 2004, we redeemed an aggregate of 4,571 shares of the Series B Preferred for $4.9 million, including accrued dividends of $0.3 million. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, 29 shares of Series B Preferred remain outstanding and are convertible into 7,733 shares of our common stock.
On May 17, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain of our affiliates and executive officers to issue up to $5.0 million of Series C Preferred in conjunction with the completion of a senior credit facility. Our Series C Preferred is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.95 per share and includes detachable warrants to purchase up to 6,550,000 additional shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging between $1.95 and $3.50 per share. The conversion prices of our Series C Preferred and the warrant exercise prices were supported by a fairness opinion issued by a third party. The proceeds of the issuance were allocated to the warrants and preferred stock based on the relative fair value of each instrument. The value attributed to the warrants was $2.9 million ($2.7 million net of offering costs) and was recorded as additional paid in capital while $0.6 million was the attributed value to the preferred stock. In addition, the conversion terms of the preferred stock result in a beneficial conversion feature valued at approximately $0.7 million. As a result of the terms of conversion, we recorded a one time charge to retained earnings for this amount representing a deemed dividend to the preferred stockholders with the offset recorded in additional paid in capital.
On August 29, 2005, the remainder of the Series C Preferred and warrants were issued generating gross proceeds of $1.5 million. The proceeds of the issuance of the second tranche were allocated to the warrants and preferred stock based on the relative fair value of each instrument. The entire value of $1.5 million was attributed to the fair value of the warrants and was recorded as additional paid in capital. In addition, the conversion terms of the preferred stock issued in the second tranche resulted in no beneficial conversion feature.
Historically, the Term Loan restricted the payment of cash dividends. Consequently, the dividend obligation related to the Series C Preferred has been satisfied through the issuance of additional shares of Series C Preferred as payment-in-kind (PIK) dividends with similar conversion terms. These additional shares of preferred stock do not have warrants attached to them. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, 128 and 256 shares of Series C Preferred were issued as PIK dividends. In addition, the conversion terms of the Series C Preferred stock issued as PIK dividends resulted in a beneficial conversion feature totaling $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. As a result of these PIK dividends, we recorded a one time charge to retained earnings representing a dividend to the preferred stockholders with the offset recorded in additional paid in capital. Effective April 29, 2007, the agreements governing the Term Loan were amended to remove the restriction on cash dividend payments on the preferred equity shares, provided we had sufficient availability and were in compliance with all other covenants. Consequently, the accrued dividends from April 2007 to June 2007 were paid in cash in July 2007.
At June 30, 2007, 5,484 shares of Series C Preferred remain outstanding and are convertible into 2,812,308 shares of our common stock.

The exercise of warrants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 generated proceeds of $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is determined by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options and other contracts to issue shares of common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we had 250,430 and 136,151 options, respectively, and 640,087 and 640,790 warrants, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as they were antidilutive. In addition, Stockholder Notes convertible into 107,565 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we had 289,888 and 181,957 options, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as they were antidilutive. In addition, Stockholder Notes convertible into 500,000 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

NOTE 6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. Currently, we conduct our operations principally in five operating segments Seismic Services, Transportation, Environmental Services, Equipment Leasing, and Other Services, all of which operate exclusively in North America. The Seismic Services segment is comprised of three divisions Drilling, Survey and Permitting. All remaining assets, primarily our corporate offices, warehouses and underlying real estate, also are located in North America. The segment classified as corporate includes all other operating activities to support the executive offices, capital structure and costs of being a public registrant. These costs are not allocated to the business segments by management when determining segment profit or loss.
Drilling revenue is derived primarily from drilling and loading of the source points for seismic analysis. Survey revenue is recorded after the customer has determined the placement of source and receiving points, and after survey crews are sent into the field to plot each source and receiving point prior to drilling. Permitting revenue is derived from services provided in conjunction with obtaining permits from landowners. Transportation revenues are billed by the hour, load or barrel. Environmental revenue is earned from tank, vessel and rig pit cleaning. Equipment leasing revenue is derived from the rental of various pieces of oilfield equipment to offshore and land-based oil production rigs. Other services revenue is comprised of metal stress relieving, wellhead installation and offshore painting and blasting services.

CHARLES HOLSTON, INC.
On March 2, 2007, we acquired CHI pursuant to the Holston Purchase Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Holston Purchase Agreement, we purchased 100% of the membership interests and equity interests of CHI for the total consideration of approximately $23.0 million, including $18.0 million in cash, $5.0 million in 5% promissory notes payable to certain owners and the assumption of approximately $3.4 million in debt and other liabilities. The CHI Notes consist of three separate notes with $1.0 million maturing in February 2008, $2.0 million maturing in February 2009 and $2.0 million maturing in February 2010. The CHI Notes maturing in 2009 and 2010 are convertible into our common stock at $9.24 per share. The acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting.

CYPRESS ENERGY SERVICES
Effective February 16, 2007, we acquired certain assets of Cypress Energy for an aggregate acquisition price of $10.1 million, including $7.1 million in cash and $3.0 million in a 5% promissory note payable to certain stockholders. The Cypress Note is payable over three years with $1.0 million maturing in February 2008, $1.0 million maturing in February 2009, and $1.0 million maturing in February 2010. The acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting. The acquisition of the seismic drilling assets of Cypress Energy substantially improves our market position as a leading provider of domestic highland seismic drilling services. We have previously been recognized as the leading domestic provider of seismic drilling services in the transition zone. The acquisition of these assets of Cypress Energy further strengthens the permitting and survey services offered to our customers. The results of Cypress Energys operations are included in our consolidated financial statements since the effective date of the acquisition.

BAILEY OPERATING, INC.
Effective June 7, 2007, we acquired certain assets of BOI for an aggregate acquisition price of $1.8 million, including $1.3 million in cash and $0.5 million in a 5% promissory note payable to BOI. The Bailey Note is payable on or before May 31, 2010. The acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting. The acquisition of the assets of BOI geographically extends our core businesses into the Barnett Shale region, currently one of the most prolific onshore regions in the United States for oil and gas exploration. Not only did we acquire an exceptional facility for the disposal of non-hazardous oilfield waste by-products, the acquisition also establishes a platform for further geographic expansion of our core businesses. We expect to immediately expand our Transportation Services and Equipment Leasing operations into this Barnett Shale region. Thereafter, follow-on expansion will occur through a combination of increased asset utilization, planned capital expenditures and other strategic transactions currently under consideration. The results of BOIs operations are included in our consolidated financial statements since the effective date of the acquisition.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
As of June 30, 2007, for tax purposes, we had net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $12.6 million. The NOLs will expire commencing 2018. We account for income taxes under the provision of SFAS No. 109, which requires recognition of future tax benefits (NOLs and other temporary differences), subject to a valuation allowance based on more-likely-than-not that such asset will be realized. In determining whether it is more-likely-than-not that we will realize such tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires that all negative and positive evidence be considered (with more weight given to evidence that is objective and verifiable) in making the determination. Prior to 2006, we had valuation allowances in place against the deferred tax asset arising from the NOLs. In 2006, we reversed the allowances in expectation of generating taxable income in the future. For the first half of 2007, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $4.7 million. We had approximately $1.5 million of unrecognized income tax benefits related to the exercise of common stock options. We are unable to recognize any of this benefit until we experience actual cash tax savings attributable to this deduction.
On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, management assessed its various income tax positions and this assessment resulted in no adjustment to the tax asset or liability. The preparation of our various tax returns requires the use of estimates for federal and state income tax purposes. These estimates may be subjected to review by the respective taxing authorities. A revision, if any, to an estimate may result in an assessment of additional taxes, penalties and interest. At this time, a range in which our estimates may change is not quantifiable and a change, if any, is not expected to be material. We will account for interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in the current period income statement, as necessary. The 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 tax years remain subject to examination by various federal, state and foreign tax jurisdictions.
NOTE 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As mentioned in Note 3, the Term Loan previously restricted the payment of cash dividends. Consequently, a portion of the 9% dividend obligation related to the Series C Preferred, which was issued to certain of our affiliates and executive officers, has been satisfied through the issuance of additional shares of Series C Preferred as PIK dividends. These additional shares of preferred stock do not have warrants attached to them. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, 128 and 256 shares of Series C Preferred were issued, respectively, as PIK dividends at par. Effective April 29, 2007, the agreements governing the Term Loan were amended to remove the restriction on cash dividend payments on the preferred equity shares, provided we had sufficient
20
availability and were in compliance with all other covenants. Consequently, the accrued dividends from April 2007 to June 2007 of $0.1 million were paid in cash in July 2007.
In connection with the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Preheat, Inc., we issued $4.0 million in 5% promissory notes payable to certain Preheat stockholders. The Preheat Notes consist of three separate notes with $2.7 million maturing in February 2008 and $1.3 million maturing in February 2009. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the Preheat Notes had a balance of $4.0 million.
In connection with the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Rig Tools, Inc., we issued $4.0 million in 5% promissory notes payable to certain Rig Tools stockholders. The Rig Tools Notes consist of three separate notes with $3.0 million maturing in November 2007 and $1.0 million maturing in November 2008. The Rig Tools Notes can be prepaid at any time and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $8.00 per share. We recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $0.7 million related to the stock valuation at closing which is being amortized over the life of the notes. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the Rig Tools Notes had a balance of $4.0 million. The beneficial conversion feature had an unamortized balance of $0.6 million and $0.3 million at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, respectively.
On March 2, 2007, we acquired CHI pursuant to the Holston Purchase Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Holston Purchase Agreement, we purchased 100% of the membership interests and equity interests of CHI for the total consideration of approximately $23.0 million, including $18.0 million in cash, $5.0 million in 5% promissory notes payable to certain CHI stockholders and the assumption of approximately $3.6 million in debt and other liabilities. The CHI Notes consist of three separate notes with $1.0 million maturing in February 2008, $2.0 million maturing in February 2009 and $2.0 million maturing in February 2010. The notes maturing in 2009 and 2010 are convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $9.24 per share. Based upon the stock valuation at the time of issuance, no beneficial conversion feature existed. At June 30, 2007, the CHI Notes had a balance of $5.0 million.
In connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Cypress Energy effective February 16, 2007 we issued $3.0 million in a 5% promissory note payable to a certain Cypress Energy stockholder. The Cypress Note is payable over three years with $1.0 million maturing in February 2008, $1.0 million maturing in February 2009 and $1.0 million maturing in February 2010. At June 30, 2007, the Cypress Note had a balance of $3.0 million.

GENERAL
We were founded in 1987, as OMNI Drilling Corporation, to provide drilling services to the geophysical industry. In July 1996, OMNI Geophysical, L.L.C. acquired substantially all of the assets of OMNI Geophysical Corporation, the successor to the business of OMNI Drilling Corporation. OMNI Energy Services Corp. (OMNI) was formed as a Louisiana corporation on September 11, 1997 to acquire all of the outstanding common units of OMNI Geophysical L.L.C.
We are a leading oilfield service company specializing in providing an integrated range of (i) onshore seismic drilling, operational support, and permitting and survey services to geophysical companies operating in logistically difficult and environmentally sensitive terrain, (ii) dockside and offshore hazardous and non-hazardous oilfield waste management and environmental cleaning services, including tank and vessel cleaning and safe vessel entry for oil and gas companies operating primarily in the Gulf of Mexico, and (iii) a large fleet of oilfield equipment available for leasing on a daily basis. We operate in five business segments: Seismic Services (which includes seismic drilling, permitting and survey services), Environmental Services, Equipment Leasing, Transportation and Other Services (which includes metal stress relieving, offshore cleaning and blasting and wellhead installations).
The principal market of our Seismic Services segment is the marsh, swamp, shallow water and contiguous dry land areas along the Gulf of Mexico (the Transition Zone), primarily in Louisiana and Texas, where we are the leading provider of seismic drilling support services. In 1997, we commenced operations in the mountainous regions of the Western United States, and in 2003, we initiated seismic drilling activities in various Transition Zone regions of Mexico.
We own and operate a fleet of specialized seismic drilling and transportation equipment for use in the Transition Zone. We believe we are the only domestic company that currently can both provide an integrated range of seismic drilling, permitting, and survey services in all of the varied terrain of the Transition Zone and simultaneously support operations for multiple, large-scale seismic projects. In 2002, we acquired all of the assets of AirJac Drilling, a division of Veritas Land DGC. With this acquisition, we became the largest domestic provider of seismic drilling services to geophysical companies.
We provide dock-side and offshore hazardous and non-hazardous oilfield waste management and environmental cleaning services, including drilling rig, tank and vessel cleaning, safe vessel entry, naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) decontamination, platform abandonment services, pipeline flushing, gas dehydration, and hydro blasting. Demand for our dock-side vessel and tank cleaning and non-hazardous waste treatment businesses are primarily driven by drilling and well-site abandonment activity in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico, as reflected by the drilling rig count. Much of the cleaning and waste treatment is from residual waste created in the drilling process.
We completed the acquisition of Preheat, Inc. in February 2006. Preheat is a premier provider of rental equipment and specialized environmental services principally to drilling contractors operating in the Gulf of Mexico. Preheat has a vast fleet of rental equipment including pressure washers, reverse osmosis machines and steam cleaners. In addition to the oilfield rental equipment, Preheat offers wellhead installation, stress relieving services and environmental pit cleaning services to drilling contractors. Preheat operates from locations in Belle Chasse and Broussard, Louisiana and Rock Springs, Wyoming. The addition of Preheat further expands our core business segments and provides us with integration opportunities with our Environmental Services segment.
In November 2006, we completed the acquisition of Rig Tools, Inc. Rig Tools maintains an extensive fleet of rental equipment for various oilfield and commercial applications including water, mud and disposal pumps; mud, fuel and frac tanks; air compressors; wireline units; generators; high pressure washers; light towers; tubing; and, handling tools. Rig Tools has operating facilities in Youngsville, Louisiana; and Navasota, Alice, Timpson and Teague, Texas.
Effective February 16, 2007, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Cypress Consulting Services, Inc. (Cypress Energy). Cypress Energy currently operates in two distinct business areas (both of which are included in our Seismic Services Segment) Seismic Services and Employee Leasing. The acquisition includes the assumption of approximately $20 million of seismic drilling contracts. The acquisition of the seismic drilling assets of Cypress Energy substantially improves our market position as a leading provider of domestic highland seismic drilling services. We have previously been recognized as the leading domestic provider of seismic drilling services in the transition zone. The acquisition of these assets of Cypress Energy further strengthens the permitting and survey services offered to our customers. With the Cypress Energy acquisition, we also acquired their employee leasing division which employs skilled and unskilled personnel who provide contract labor services to various companies operating in the oil and gas industry. By integrating this workforce into our existing employee intensive business units, we believe we will be able to better manage temporary fluctuations in employee demands within those business units.
22
In March 2007, we completed the acquisition of Charles Holston, Inc. pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement (Holston Purchase Agreement) to acquire BMJ Industrial Investments, L.L.C., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Charles Holston, Inc. (collectively CHI). CHI provides a full range of environmental services including transportation of non-hazardous oilfield byproducts, such as salt water and spent drilling fluids; NORM surveys, cleaning and waste disposal; tank degreasing and demolition; rig pit cleaning; oilfield waste disposal; hydro blasting; dockside and offshore cleaning; and offshore sandblasting and painting. CHI also operates salt water disposal wells in Richard and Gueydan, Louisiana. During early 2007, CHI expanded its equipment rental operations into the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. CHI maintains corporate offices in Jennings, Louisiana and dockside facilities in Cameron and Fourchon, Louisiana. CHIs rental operations are located in Vernal, Utah.
Effective June 7, 2007, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Bailey Operating, Inc. (BOI). The assets acquired include a salt water disposal well, related permits and well-site equipment located on approximately five acres of land in Bowie, Texas. We currently operate two salt water disposal wells in Louisiana through our recent acquisition of CHI. The acquisition of the assets of BOI geographically extends our core businesses into the Barnett Shale region, currently one of the most prolific onshore regions in the United States for oil and gas exploration. Not only did we acquire an exceptional facility for the disposal of non-hazardous oilfield waste by-products, the acquisition also establishes a platform for further geographic expansion of our core businesses. We expect to immediately expand our Transportation Services and Equipment Leasing operations into this Barnett Shale region. Thereafter, follow-on expansion will occur through a combination of increased asset utilization, planned capital expenditures and other strategic transactions currently under consideration.
All of our operations are subject to seasonal variations in weather conditions and available daylight hours. Since our drilling and environmental activities take place outdoors, on average we experience lower production in winter months than in summer months, due to an increase in rain, fog, and cold conditions and a decrease in daylight hours. These winter conditions also generally result in fewer hours worked per day and fewer holes drilled or surveyed per day during that season.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
Operating revenues increased 74% or $20.4 million, from $27.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $48.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was due partially to our acquisitions of CHI effective March 2, 2007, Rig Tools effective November 1, 2006 and Preheat effective February 10, 2006 which contributed $6.6 million, $3.6 million, and $0.6 million, respectively, in revenue for the first quarter of 2007. Also, our Seismic Services segment, enhanced by the Cypress Energy transaction effective February 16, 2007, accounted for $8.0 million of the increase. Also, our Environmental Services segment, enhanced by the offshore and dockside operations of the CHI acquisition effective March 2, 2007, accounted for $1.6 million of the increase.
Direct costs increased 87%, or $14.5 million, from $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $31.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Direct costs as a result of the CHI, Rig Tools and Preheat acquisitions accounted for $4.9 million, $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of the overall increase. Direct costs relating to the Seismic Services segment including the Cypress Energy transaction and the Environmental Services segment, enhanced by the offshore and dockside
23
operations of the CHI acquisition increased $5.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Of the total increase, $7.4 million relates to payroll costs and $2.4 million relates to third-party contract services.
Depreciation and amortization costs increased $1.4 million from $1.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 to $2.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007. Depreciation expense increased $1.1 million due primarily to the increase in revenue-producing assets from the acquisitions of Preheat in February 2006, Rig Tools in November 2006, Cypress Energy in February 2007 and CHI in March 2007. Amortization expense increased $0.3 million due to the increase in intangibles related to the aforementioned acquisitions.
General and administrative costs increased $2.6 million, from $3.2 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2006 to $5.8 million during the same three month period of 2007 primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Preheat, Rig Tools, CHI and Cypress Energy. Of this increase, $1.3 million relates to increased payroll costs.
Interest expense increased approximately $0.6 million from $1.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2006, to $1.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007. The increase in interest expense was attributable to increased levels of debt including financing for the recent acquisitions. Interest expense includes $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, related to amortization of deferred loan costs.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
Operating revenues increased 89% or $40.9 million, from $46.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $87.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was due partially to our acquisitions of CHI effective March 2, 2007 and Rig Tools effective November 1, 2006 which contributed $9.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively, in revenue for the first half of 2007. The Preheat acquisition, effective February 10, 2006 accounted for $4.4 million of the increase in revenue for the first half of 2007. Our Seismic Services segment, enhanced by the Cypress Energy transaction effective February 16, 2007, accounted for $18.7 million of the increase. Our Environmental Services segment, enhanced by the offshore and dockside operations of the CHI acquisition effective March 2, 2007, accounted for $0.9 million of the increase.
Direct costs increased 94%, or $26.5 million, from $28.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $54.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Direct costs as a result of the CHI, Rig Tools and Preheat acquisitions accounted for $6.8 million, $3.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of the overall increase. Direct costs relating to the Seismic Services segment including the Cypress Energy transaction and the Environmental Services segment, enhanced by the offshore and dockside operations of the CHI acquisition increased $12.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. $13.0 million of the total increase in direct costs relates to payroll costs and $5.4 million relates to third-party contract services.
Depreciation and amortization costs increased $2.2 million from $2.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 to $5.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007. Depreciation expense increased $1.7 million due primarily to the increase in revenue-producing assets from the acquisitions of Preheat in February 2006, Rig Tools in November 2006, Cypress Energy in February 2007 and CHI in March 2007. Amortization expense increased $0.5 million due to the increase in intangibles related to the aforementioned acquisitions.
General and administrative costs increased $5.3 million, from $5.6 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2006 to $10.9 million during the same six month period of 2007 primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Preheat, Rig Tools, Cypress Energy and CHI. Of this increase, $3.0 million relates to increased payroll costs.
Interest expense increased approximately $1.0 million from $2.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, to $3.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007. The increase in interest expense was attributable to increased levels of debt including financing for the recent acquisitions. Interest expense includes $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, related to amortization of deferred loan costs.
Loss on debt extinguishment increased $1.0 million from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007 as a result of the early payment of our previous revolving line of credit in March 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Effective March 2, 2007, we completed a new $64.5 million credit facility (Senior Credit Facility), including a $37.0 million term loan (Term Loan), a $25 million working capital revolving line of credit (Revolver), and a $2.5 million capital expenditure loan (Capex Loan) with a bank. The Revolver replaced our previous line of credit (the Line). With the proceeds from the Senior Credit Facility, we (i) repaid approximately $22.0 million outstanding principal balance under our existing Term A and Term B loans; (ii) closed the acquisition of CHI; and (iii) completed the acquisition of certain assets of Cypress Energy. The balance of the proceeds available under the Senior Credit Facility was used to pay fees and expenses of the aforementioned transactions and provide additional working capital. Loan closing costs of $2.3 million were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007 in conjunction with the Senior Credit Facility.
At June 30, 2007, we had approximately $13.7 million in cash and restricted cash compared to $13.7 million at December 31, 2006, and working capital of $2.1 million at June 30, 2007, compared to $16.6 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease in working capital from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007 is primarily due to an increase in the amount borrowed on the Revolver due to our recent acquisitions. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, we borrowed $12.0 million on the Line and Revolver, respectively, to better illustrate for investors and financial analysts our funds availability at the end of the year. The amount was repaid on the first business day of the following month. Cash provided by operating activities was $16.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $13.4 million for the same period in 2006.
Historically, our capital requirements have primarily related to the purchase or fabrication of new seismic drilling equipment and related support equipment and new business acquisitions. Thus far in 2007, we have acquired CHI and certain assets of Cypress
24
Energy and BOI and approximately $3.0 million of vehicles, $4.6 million of equipment and $1.4 million of facility improvements. For the remainder of 2007, we expect to continue renewing our rolling stock, upgrade Trusscos facilities and equipment to improve the efficiency of their operations, increase Preheats, Rig Tools and CHIs fleet of oilfield leasing equipment, expand CHIs fleet of transportation equipment and explore strategic business opportunities.
On November 11, 2005, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the Stock Purchase Agreement) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (Fusion Capital). Under terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Fusion Capital has committed to purchase up to $25.0 million of our common stock, at intervals determined by us, at prices determined by a formula set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. As of June 30, 2007, 665,429 shares have been issued under this agreement generating proceeds of $6.4 million.

SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY
Effective March 2, 2007, we completed the $64.5 million Senior Credit Facility, which includes the $37.0 million Term Loan, the $25.0 million Revolver, and a $2.5 million Capex Loan. The Revolver replaced our previous line of credit (the Line). Availability under the Revolver is the lower of: (i) $25.0 million or (ii) the sum of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, as defined under the agreement. The Revolver accrues interest at the 30-day LIBOR interest rate plus 2.0% (7.32% at June 30, 2007) and matures in March 2012. The Revolver is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30, 2007, we had $21.5 million outstanding under the Revolver. Due to the lock-box arrangement and the subjective acceleration clause of the Revolver and the Line agreements, the debt under the Revolver and the Line have been classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, as required by EITF No. 95-22, Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements that include both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-box Arrangement.
25
Under the terms of the Term Loan, the funding limits will be limited to the lesser of $37.0 million and 70% of the orderly liquidation value of our equipment. In addition, the Term Loan matures in March 2012 and will be repaid monthly in equal payments of $0.6 million, with interest paid in arrears and accruing at the annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% (7.32% at June 30, 2007). The Term Loan contains customary financial covenants and limitations on capital expenditures. With the proceeds from the Senior Credit Facility, we (i) repaid approximately $22.0 million outstanding principal balance under our previous Term A and Term B loans; (ii) closed the acquisition of CHI; and (iii) completed the acquisition of certain assets of Cypress Energy. The balance of the proceeds available under the Senior Credit Facility was used to pay fees and expenses of the aforementioned transactions and provide additional working capital. Effective April 29, 2007, the agreements governing the Term Loan were amended to remove the restriction on cash dividend payments on the preferred equity shares, provided we had sufficient availability and were in compliance with all other covenants.
Under the terms of the Capex Loan, the funding will be limited to 75% of the purchase price of equipment to be purchased with the proceeds of the Capex Loan. On June 8, 2007, we drew $2.5 million on the Capex Loan. The Capex Loan matures in March 2012 and will be repaid monthly in equal payments of $0.04 million, with interest paid in arrears and accruing at the annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% (7.32% at June 30, 2007). As of June 30, 2007, we had $2.5 million outstanding under the Capex Loan.
At June 30, 2007, we had exceeded the annual capital expenditure limitation included in our Senior Credit Facility. Subsequently, the Lender has approved an amendment to the Senior Credit Facility to increase the capital expenditure covenant from $8.0 to $12.0 million, which allows us to be in compliance with the covenant.
CAPITAL LEASES
Prior to February 2006, we leased several vehicles used in our Seismic Services segment under 40-month capital leases. In February 2006, in accordance with a 2005 agreement, the capital leases on those vehicles were paid off through a refinance transaction with a third party leasing company. The capital leases were replaced with 24-month operating leases expiring in the first quarter of 2008. In December 2006, we acquired a corporate-configured helicopter under capital lease for internal use. The capital lease matures in 2008. In March 2007, we acquired equipment under a capital lease maturing in 2012.
Total cost and accumulated depreciation of assets held under capital lease is as follows:

SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTES
In May 2005, we issued approximately $4.3 million of unsecured, subordinated promissory notes (Subordinated Promissory Notes). The Subordinated Promissory Notes were scheduled to be paid quarterly, with interest in arrears, over 36 months in level payments with interest accruing at the rate of 8% per annum.
In August 2005, we satisfied two of the three holders of the Subordinated Promissory Notes. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the remaining Subordinated Promissory Note had a balance of approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
TRUSSCO NOTES
In connection with the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Trussco, Inc. and all of the membership interests in Trussco Properties, L.L.C. (collectively Trussco), in June 2004, we issued $3.0 million in 5% convertible promissory notes payable to certain stockholders (Stockholder Notes) maturing in June 2007. The Stockholder Notes could have been prepaid at any time and were convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $9.40 per share.
In May 2005, in connection with the completion of other financing, we entered into early debt extinguishment agreements with respect to $2.0 million of the Stockholder Notes and $1.0 million of the Earnout Note more fully described in Note 4. In August 2005, we (i) issued 0.2 million shares of our common stock; and (ii) paid certain holders of the Stockholder Notes $1.0 million in cash, in full and complete satisfaction of $2.0 million of the Stockholder Notes and $1.0 million of the Earnout Note.
26
In July 2006, we prepaid the remaining amount of the Stockholder Notes resulting in a $0.01 million gain from the early extinguishment of the Earnout Note. This transaction also resulted in the termination of the Earnout Note.
PREHEAT NOTES
In connection with the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Preheat, Inc. in February 2006, we issued $4.0 million in 5% promissory notes payable to certain Preheat stockholders (Preheat Notes). The Preheat Notes consist of three separate notes with $2.7 million maturing in February 2008 and $1.3 million maturing in February 2009. At both December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the Preheat Notes had a balance of $4.0 million.
RIG TOOLS NOTES
In connection with the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Rig Tools, Inc. in November 2006, we issued $4.0 million in 5% promissory notes payable to certain Rig Tools stockholders (Rig Tools Notes).

The Rig Tools Notes can be prepaid at any time and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $8.00 per share. We recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $0.7 million related to the stock valuation at closing which is being amortized over the life of the notes. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the Rig Tools Notes had a balance of $4.0 million. The beneficial conversion feature had an unamortized balance of $0.6 million and $0.3 million at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, respectively.
CHARLES HOLSTON NOTES
On March 2, 2007, we acquired CHI pursuant to the Holston Purchase Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Holston Purchase Agreement, we issued $5.0 million in 5% promissory notes payable to certain owners (CHI Notes). The CHI Notes consist of three separate notes with $1.0 million maturing in February 2008, $2.0 million maturing in February 2009 and $2.0 million maturing in February 2010. The notes maturing in 2009 and 2010 are convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $9.24 per share. Based upon the stock valuation at the time of issuance, no beneficial conversion feature existed. At June 30, 2007, the CHI Notes had a balance of $5.0 million.
CYPRESS NOTES
In connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Cypress Energy (See Note 7) effective February 16, 2007, we issued $3.0 million in a 5% promissory note payable to a certain Cypress Energy stockholder (Cypress Note).

INSURANCE NOTES PAYABLE
A portion of our property and casualty insurance premiums are financed through certain short-term installment loan agreements. The insurance notes are payable in monthly installments through September 2007 and accrue interest at rates ranging between 5.64% and 6.05%.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Stock Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) requiring that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. We also followed the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure.
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And Assets Held For Sale
We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. If the carrying amount of the asset, including any intangible assets associated with that asset, exceeds its estimated
27
undiscounted net cash flow, before interest, we will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between its carrying amount and its estimated fair value.
Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their net book value or their net realizable value which is determined based upon an estimate of their fair market value less the cost of selling the assets. An impairment is recorded to the extent that the amount that was carried on the books is in excess of the net realizable value. Assets held for sale at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007 are comprised of eight marsh buggies. At June 30, 2007, no impairment of long-lived assets was necessary.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
There have been no significant changes in our market risks since the year ended December 31, 2006. For more information, please read the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC on March 16, 2007.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SECs rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. As described in more detail in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2007, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) in connection with the work related to Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. As a result of these material weaknesses, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Because the control deficiencies leading to such material weaknesses were still present as of June 30, 2007, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. We have outlined a number of initiatives, as discussed below, that we believe will remediate these material weaknesses in 2007.
The material weakness was identified in the preparation of our provision for income taxes and related deferred taxes. A computational error was identified associated with our recent acquisitions and in our provision for various state income taxes. This material weakness resulted in an accounting adjustment that impacted goodwill and deferred income taxes. This accounting adjustment was recorded in the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2006.
To remediate this matter, management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee, during the three month period ended March 31, 2007, engaged a reputable third party accounting firm to assist in the preparation of our tax provision and related disclosures. The accounting firm is also available to assist in other technical accounting and reporting matters as they arise. Furthermore, we have enhanced the various tax provision calculations and added enhanced levels of review which we believe has addressed the matter that resulted in the above material weakness. As a result of the steps described above, which will be subject to our 2007 annual audit, we feel that we are making significant progress in remediating the material weakness identified at December 31, 2006.
During our most recent fiscal quarter, there have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-13(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. | OTHER INFORMATION |
At our annual meeting of stockholders held on August 7, 2007 (the Annual Meeting), our shareholders approved, among other things, amendments to the Sixth Amended and Restated OMNI Energy Services Corp. Stock Incentive Plan (Plan) to (i) increase the number of shares available for issuance thereunder from 2,750,000 to 4,250,000 shares, and (ii) allow non-employee directors to be eligible to receive discretionary grants of restricted stock and other stock-based awards under the Plan.
The Board believes that our growth depends significantly upon the efforts of our officers, directors and key employees and that such individuals are best motivated to put forth maximum effort on our behalf if they own an equity interest in the Company. In accordance with this philosophy, in 1997 the Board adopted and the shareholders approved the Plan. The shareholders previously approved amendments to the Plan increasing the number of shares issuable thereunder to 666,667 in April 1999, 1,000,000 in September 2001, 1,500,000 in September 2003, 2,500,000 in November 2004, 2,750,000 in June 2006 and 4,250,000 in August 2007. Under the Plan, key employees, officers, directors, and consultants and advisors to the Company are eligible to receive (i) incentive and non-qualified stock options; (ii) restricted stock; and (iii) other stock-based awards (collectively, Incentives) when designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Non-employee directors also receive formula option grants under the Plan without action by the Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee administers the Plan and has authority to award Incentives under the Plan, to interpret the Plan, to establish rules or regulations relating to the Plan, to make any other determination that it believes necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the Plan and to delegate its authority as appropriate. With respect to participants not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Compensation Committee may delegate its authority to grant Incentives under the Plan to appropriate personnel of the Company.
The Board may amend or discontinue the Plan at any time, except that any amendment that would materially increase the benefits under the Plan, materially increase the number of securities that may be issued through the Plan or materially modify the eligibility requirements must be approved by the shareholders. Except in limited circumstances no amendment or discontinuance of the Plan may change or impair any previously-granted Incentive without the consent of the recipient thereof.
