The Notes will be effectively subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness and that of our subsidiary guarantors, including indebtedness under our senior credit facility, to the extent of the value of our assets collateralizing such indebtedness and any liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. As of February 1, 2008, and after giving effect to this offering, we would have had approximately $155.0 million of outstanding senior indebtedness and other liabilities (excluding trade payables, accrued expenses and intercompany liabilities), $55.0 million of which represented secured indebtedness. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all of this secured indebtedness. As of February 1, 2008, our non-guarantor subsidiary had no material liabilities.

   CAVO Drilling Motors, Ltd. Co., CESI Chemical, Inc., Flotek Paymaster, Inc., Material Translogistics, Inc., Padko International Incorporated, Petrovalve, Inc., SES Holdings, Inc., Sooner Energy Services, Inc., Spidle Sales & Service, Inc., Teledrift Acquisition, Inc., Trinity Tool, Inc., Turbeco, Inc. and USA Petrovalve, Inc.

Use of Proceeds:

   We intend to use the net proceeds to finance the purchase price for our acquisition of Teledrift, Inc. and for general corporate purposes. If our acquisition of Teledrift, Inc. does not occur, we will use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

Selected Pro-Forma Information:

   As a result of the offering of the Notes at an annual interest rate of 5.25%, our pro-forma interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 will be approximately $9.1 million, resulting in pro-forma provision for income taxes of approximately $5.6 million; pro-forma net income of approximately $11.7 million; pro-forma basic earnings per common share of $0.68; and pro-forma diluted earnings per common share of $0.63. Our pro-forma interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 will be approximately $7.8 million, resulting in pro-forma provision for income taxes of approximately $8.3 million; pro-forma net income of approximately $14.0 million; pro-forma basic earnings per common share of $0.77; and pro-forma diluted earnings per common share of $0.73.

Concurrent Transactions:

  

Concurrently with the offering of the Notes, we are offering 3,800,000 shares of our common stock by means of a separate prospectus supplement in an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., the underwriter of the Notes offering, will act as the underwriter for the common stock offering. The shares of common stock to be sold in that offering will be lent to Bear, Stearns International Limited, or BSIL, an affiliate of Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., by us pursuant to a share lending agreement among us, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and BSIL. BSIL will receive all of the proceeds from all such common stock offerings and lending transactions. See “Description of Share Lending Agreement” in the preliminary prospectus supplement. We will not receive any of the proceeds from such common stock offering. The delivery of such shares of common stock under the share lending agreement is contingent upon the closing of the Notes offering, and the closing of the Notes offering is contingent upon the delivery of 3,800,000 shares pursuant to the share lending agreement. We expect that delivery of our common stock will be made on or about the closing date of the Notes offering.

Approximately 3,138,200 of the 3,800,000 shares in the common stock offering will be initially offered at $17.50 per share and the remaining shares will be subsequently offered and sold from time to time at prevailing market prices at the time of sale or at negotiated prices in transactions including block sales, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, or otherwise. During such time, BSIL, or its affiliates, are also likely to purchase a corresponding number of shares of our common stock in secondary market transactions.

U.S. Federal Income Tax

Considerations:

   For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will treat the Notes as indebtedness subject to the special regulations governing contingent payment debt instruments, which we refer to as the “CPDI regulations.” Pursuant to the CPDI regulations, a U.S. holder (as defined under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Holders” in the preliminary prospectus supplement) will generally be required to accrue interest income on the Notes, subject to certain adjustments, at a rate of 9.25%, compounded semi-annually, regardless of whether the holder uses the cash or accrual method of tax accounting. Accordingly, U.S. holders will generally be required to include interest in taxable income in each year in excess of any interest payments (whether fixed or contingent) actually received in that year. For this purpose, a conversion of the Notes will be treated as the receipt of a contingent payment with respect to the Notes, which may produce an adjustment to a U.S. holder’s interest accruals. Under the CPDI regulations, gain recognized upon a sale, exchange, or redemption of a Note will generally be treated as ordinary interest income; loss will be ordinary loss to the extent of interest previously included in income, and thereafter capital loss.

*Settlement date of the Notes.

The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the applicable table, in which case:

 

   

If the stock price is between two stock price amounts in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares by which the applicable conversion rate for the Notes will be increased will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365 day year.

 

   

If the stock price is greater than $100.00 per share, subject to adjustment, no additional shares will be added to the applicable conversion rate for the Notes.

 

   

If the stock price is less than $17.50 per share, subject to adjustment, no additional shares will be added to the applicable conversion rate for the Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the applicable conversion rate for the Notes exceed 57.1429 per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the applicable conversion rate.
