NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Boots & Coots International Well Control, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete annual financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the other financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and those reports filed previously with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

On August 19, 2003, the Company’s stockholders voted in favor of a one for four reverse stock spit, effective October 2, 2003. All of the share numbers and per share numbers have been restated to reflect this reverse split. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

B. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation granted under its long-term incentive plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations. Stock-based compensation expenses associated with option grants were not recognized in the net income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, as all options granted had exercise prices equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the dates of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation":

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2004		June 30, 2003		June 30, 2004		June 30, 2003

C. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and subsequently revised the Interpretation in December 2003 (FIN 46R). This Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, which have certain characteristics. As revised, FIN 46R is now generally effective for financial statements for interim or annual periods ending on or after March 15, 2004. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 46R effective January 1, 2004 with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

D. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 30, 2002, the Company formalized a plan to sell the assets of its Special Services and Abasco operations. The sales proceeds were approximately $1,041,000. The operations of these two companies are reflected as discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following represents a condensed detail of assets and liabilities for discontinued operations adjusted for write-downs:

	June 30, 2004 (000’s)		December 31, 2003 (000’s)

Receivables — net	$	—	$	3
Total assets	$	—	$	3

Accounts payable	$	—	$	149
Accrued liabilities		56		60
Total liabilities	$	56	$	209

Reconciliation of change in net asset value of discontinued operations:

Balance of net liability of discontinued operations at December 31, 2003	$	(206	)
Payments of liabilities		150
Balance of net liability of discontinued operations at June 30, 2004	$	(56	)

E. LONG-TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE

As of June 30, 2004 and the date hereof, the Company was in compliance with all of its loan agreements. The December 2000 refinancing of the Company’s debt with Prudential qualified as a troubled debt restructuring under the provisions of SFAS 15. As a result of the application of this accounting standard, the total indebtedness due to Prudential, inclusive of accrued interest, was reduced by the cash and fair market value of securities (determined by independent appraisal) issued by the Company, and the residual balance of the indebtedness was recorded as the new carrying value of the subordinated note due to Prudential. Consequently, the $7,200,000 face value of the 12.0% Senior Subordinated Note with a maturity date of 2005 was recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at $11,520,000. The additional carrying value of the debt effectively represents an accrual of future interest due on the face value of the subordinated note due to Prudential. The remaining excess of amounts previously due Prudential over the new carrying value was $2,444,000 and was recognized as an extraordinary gain in 2000. The face value of the note as of June 30, 2004 totaled $10,931,000, including $1,296,000 of accrued and unpaid interest. On August 13, 2004 the note with Prudential was amended. (See note I to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations).


	8

On April 9, 2002, the Company entered into a loan participation agreement under which it borrowed an additional $750,000 under its existing Senior Secured Loan Facility with Specialty Finance Fund I, LLC. This Loan Facility was acquired by San Juan Investments on that day. The effective interest rate of the participation is 11% after taking into account rate adjustment fees. The Company also paid 3% of the borrowed amount in origination fees, paid closing expenses and issued 25,000 shares of common stock to the participation lender at closing. The participation had an initial maturity of 90 days, which was extended for an additional 90 days at the Company’s option. The Company issued an additional 25,000 shares of common stock to the participation lender to extend the maturity date. On November 11, 2003, the Company and its senior lender executed an agreement extending the term of the loan to 24 months (due November 10, 2005) at 11% interest, paid quarterly. On June 1, 2004, the Company and its senior lender executed an agreement reducing the interest rate to 7%.

Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral under the Senior Secured Loan Facility.

F. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On March 27, 2003, a lawsuit styled Gateway Ridgecrest Inc. vs. Boots & Coots International Well Control, Inc. was filed against the Company in the 281^st Judicial Court, Harris County, Texas, alleging default by the Company under a Lease Agreement dated May 4, 1998 (the "Lease Agreement") by and between Plaintiff and the Company. The leased premises were located at 777 Post Oak Boulevard, Houston, Harris County, Texas 77056. Plaintiff sought recovery of: (a) rent past due, future rent, common area maintenance charges, taxes, insurance, late charges and other charges proven up through the end of the term of the lease; (b) prejudgment and post-judgment interest on the amounts awarded at the maximum lawful rate; (c) attorney’s fees, together with interest thereon; and (d) costs of suit. The Company settled the lawsuit out of court on June 9, 2004 and recorded an additional charge of $260,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, which is included in "other expenses" on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In September 1999, a lawsuit styled Jerry Don Calicutt, Jr., et al., v. Larry H. Ramming, et al., was filed against the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, Larry H. Ramming, Charles Phillips, certain other employees of the Company, and several entities affiliated with Larry H. Ramming in the 269th Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas. The plaintiffs alleged various causes of action, including fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and other intentional misconduct relating to the acquisition of stock of a corporation by the name of Emergency Resources International, Inc. ("ERI") by a corporation affiliated with Larry H. Ramming and the circumstances relating to the founding of the Company. In July 2002, the Company agreed to pay $500,000 in cash in four installments, the last installment being due in January 2003, in partial settlement of the plaintiffs’ claims against all of the defendants. As to the remaining claims, the defendants filed motions for summary judgment. On September 24, 2002 the court granted the defendants’ motions for summary judgment. The Company had defaulted on the settlement after paying one installment of $100,000 but has since resettled the case on behalf of all Boots & Coots entities and all employees of the Company by paying the remaining unpaid $400,000 in March 2003 in exchange for full and final release by all plaintiffs from any and all claims related to the subject of the case. On September 24, 2003, Defendants Larry H. Ramming, Buckingham Funding Corporation and Buckingham Capital Corporation filed a Cross-Claim for Indemnification against the Company and its subsidiary, IWC Services, Inc., alleging that the Company and IWC Services, Inc. owed indemnification to said Defendants for the Plaintiffs’ claims that still remain against said Defendants. The Company denies any indemnification obligation and intends to vigorously defend the matter.

The Company is involved in or threatened with various other legal proceedings from time to time arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that any liabilities resulting from any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its operations or financial position.

G. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding. On October 2, 2003, the Company had a reverse one for four stock split. All share numbers, prices and earnings per share have been conformed to the post split presentation throughout this document.

The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 is illustrated below (in thousands):

	For the three months ended June 30,				For the six months ended June 30,
	2004		2003		2004		2003
Numerator: For basic and diluted earnings per share: Net Income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders	$	289	$	1,589	$	175	$	4,170
Denominator: For basic earnings per share- Weighted-average shares		27,360		20,682		27,330		17,031
Effect of dilutive securities: Senior convertible debt Convertible preferred stock Stock options and warrants		— 33 485		— 3,944 1		— — 550		333 4,021 1
Denominator: For diluted earnings per share - Weighted-average shares		27,878		24,627		27,880		21,387

The exercise price of the Company’s stock options and stock warrants varies from $0.88 to $5.00 per share. The Company’s convertible securities have a conversion price of $3.00. Assuming that the exercise and conversions are made at the lowest price provided under the terms of their agreements, the maximum number of potentially dilutive securities at June 30, 2004 would include: (1) 823,000 common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, (2) 6,719,000 common shares issuable upon exercise of stock purchase warrants, (3) 240,000 shares of stock to be issued as compensation over a four year vesting period as earned, and (4) 113,000 common shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock. The actual number may be substantially less depending on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion.

H. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The current segments are Prevention and Response. Intercompany transfers between segments were not material. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. For purposes of this presentation, general and corporate expenses have been allocated between segments pro rata based on relative revenues. Special Services and Abasco are presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements and are therefore excluded from the segment information for all periods presented.

The Prevention segment consists of "non-event" services that are designed to reduce the number and severity of critical well events to oil and gas operators. The scope of these services include training, contingency planning, well plan reviews, services associated with the Company's Safeguard programs and services in conjunction with the WELLSURE^® risk management program. All of these services are designed to significantly reduce the risk of a well blowout or other critical response event.


	10

The Response segment consists of personnel and equipment services provided during an emergency response such as a critical well event or a hazardous material response. These services are designed to minimize response time and damage while maximizing safety.

Information concerning operations in the two business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 is presented below (in thousands).

I. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 13, 2004, the Company amended its facility with Prudential. Under the terms of the previous agreement, the Company would have had to pay Prudential its ‘excess cash’ which was defined as all cash on hand at the end of any quarter for amounts above a balance of $2,000,000. The remaining principal would have been due on December 30, 2005. Under the new terms, the Company paid principal of $2,000,000 on August 13, 2004 plus accrued interest of $28,667. The Company will also pay down approximately $1,635,000 of principal on December 15, 2004. The remaining $6,000,000 will be paid in equal quarterly installments over the next five years with a final maturity of December 31, 2009. The excess cash covenant has been removed from the amended facility. The interest rate remains at 12%.

The financial covenants under the amended facility require the Company to maintain a debt to equity ratio of no more than 3.0 to 1, trailing twelve month EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of no less than 2.0 to 1 beginning in the quarter ending on September 30, 2004 and increasing to 3.0 to 1 beginning in the quarter ending on June 30, 2005, trailing twelve month EBITDA levels must be at least $2,750,000 beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2004 increasing to $3,000,000 beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2005.

In addition, Prudential exchanged its remaining 582 shares of Preferred E for 55,429 shares of common stock. Prudential also received 1.25 million shares of common stock in exchange for its warrants to purchase 2.4 million shares of common stock and 524,206 shares of common stock to pay accrued and unpaid dividends owed on Series E and Series G Preferred Stock. After this transaction, the Company’s note balance with Prudential will be $7,635,000, of which $1,635, 000 will be paid before year-end.

Forward-looking statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act) provides safe harbor provisions for forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is based on projections, assumptions and estimates, not historical information. Some statements in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking and use words like "may," "may not," "believes," "do not believe," "expects," "do not expect," "do not anticipate," and other similar expressions. We may also provide oral or written forward-looking information on other materials we release to the public. Forward-looking information involves risks and uncertainties and reflects our best judgment based on current information. Our results of operations can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. In addition, other factors may affect the accuracy of our forward-looking information. As a result, no forward-looking information can be guaranteed. Actual events and results of operations may vary materially.

While it is not possible to identify all factors, we face many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements including those contained in this 10-Q, our press releases and our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not assume any responsibility to publicly update any of our forward-looking statements regardless of whether factors change as a result of new information, future events or for any other reason.

Overview

The Company operates in two segments, Prevention and Response. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. For purposes of this presentation, general and corporate expenses have been allocated between segments pro rata based on relative revenues. Special Services and Abasco are presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements and are therefore excluded from the segment information for all periods presented.

Critical accounting policies

In response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-8040, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure about Critical Accounting Policies," the Company has identified the accounting principles which it believes are most critical to its reported financial status by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessment. The Company identified its most critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and income taxes.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized on the Company’s service contracts primarily on the basis of contractual day rates as the work is completed. On a small number of turnkey contracts, revenue may be recognized on the percentage-of-completion method based upon costs incurred to date and estimated total contract costs. Revenue and cost from product and equipment sales is recognized upon customer acceptance and contract completion.

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, related workman’s compensation insurance, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

The Company recognizes revenues under the WELLSURE® program as follows: (a) initial deposits for pre-event type services are recognized ratably over the life of the contract period, typically twelve months, (b) revenues and billings for pre-event type services provided are recognized when the insurance carrier has billed the operator and the revenues become determinable and (c) revenues and billings for contracting and event services are recognized based upon predetermined day rates of the Company and sub-contracted work as incurred.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company assesses its credit risk and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for any accounts which it deems doubtful of collection.

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the SFAS No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and available tax carry forwards.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 with the Three Months Ended June 30, 2003

Revenues

Prevention revenues were $2,217,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $2,171,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, representing an increase of $46,000 (2.1%) in the current quarter. The increase during the quarter was primarily the result of increases in WELLSURE® revenues, partially offset by a decline in SafeGuard revenues.


	14

Response revenues were $4,719,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $5,855,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $1,136,000 (19.4%) in the current year. This decrease was the result of the Company acting as lead contractor in Iraq in 2003, for which it billed $4,400,000 for firefighting and engineering services in Kuwait and Iraq under the Restore Iraqi Oil Program which was nearly offset by increases in response activities in other areas during the Company’s second quarter 2004. The Company acted as lead contractor under the RIO program in 2003. Iraq related revenues in 2004 were not related to the RIO program.

Cost of Sales

Prevention cost of sales were $1,296,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $728,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $568,000 (78%) in the current quarter. This increase was a result of higher subcontractor costs in Venezuelan SafeGuard operations in the current quarter.

Response cost of sales were $1,706,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $1,912,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $206,000 (10.7%) in the current quarter. This decrease was the result of the Company acting as lead contractor in Iraq and Kuwait in 2003 under the Restore Iraqi Oil Program for the entire 2003 quarter.

Operating Expenses

Consolidated operating expenses were $1,670,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $1,892,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $222,000 (11.7%) in the current quarter. The decrease was a result of lower additional labor, insurance and travel costs in the second quarter of 2004 as compared to the higher level of these expenses related to Iraq and Kuwait revenues for the second quarter of 2003. As previously footnoted on the segmented financial table, operating expenses have been charged to each segment based upon specific identification of expenses and an allocation of remaining non-segment specific expenses pro rata between segments based upon relative revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $864,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $634,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $230,000 (36.3%) from the prior year’s quarter. The increase was partially a result of timing differences relating to holding the annual shareholders meeting during the second quarter of 2004 as compared to the fourth quarter in 2003. The Company also incurred additional costs for the solicitation of proxies for the shareholder meeting held during the second quarter. In addition, the current quarter includes an amortization of certain payroll related costs. As previously footnoted on the segmented financial table, corporate selling, general and administrative expenses have been allocated pro rata among the segments on the basis of relative revenue.

Depreciation

Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense was relatively consistent between the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. As previously footnoted on the segmented financial table, depreciation has been charged to each segment based upon specific identification of expenses and an allocation of remaining non-segment specific expenses pro rata between segments based upon relative revenues.

Interest Expense and Other Expenses (Income), Including Finance Costs

The change in interest and other expenses (income) of $104,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the prior year’s quarter is set forth in the table below (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2004			June 30, 2003
Financing fees	$	—		$	15
Interest expense - senior debt		18			66
Interest on subordinated notes		73			—
(Gain) on foreign exchange		(4	)		—
Settlements		260			400
Other		30			—
Total Interest and Other	$	377		$	481

Income Tax Expense

Income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $286,000 and $271,000, respectively, and are a result of taxable income in the Company’s foreign operations.

Discontinued Operations

Losses from discontinued operations were $2,000 and zero in the 2004 and 2003 quarter, respectively.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2003

Revenues

Prevention revenues were $4,343,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $10,830,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, representing a decrease of $6,487,000 (59.9%) in the current period. This decrease is primarily a result of a first quarter 2003 equipment sale of $6,629,000 which is somewhat offset by a continuing increase in activity in Venezuela.

Response revenues were $7,004,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $8,127,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $1,123,000 (13.8%) in the current period. This decrease was the result of the Company acting as lead contractor in Iraq in 2003, for which it billed $5,500,000 for firefighting and engineering services in Kuwait and Iraq under the Restore Iraqi Oil Program which was nearly offset by increases in response activities in other areas during the Company’s 2004 period. The Company acted as lead contractor under the RIO program in 2003. Iraq related revenues in 2004 were not related to the RIO program.

Cost of Sales

Prevention cost of sales were $2,259,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $4,036,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $1,777,000 (44%) in the current period. The decrease was a result of 2003 equipment costs related to the previously mentioned equipment sales which is partially offset by increased subcontractor cost in Venezuela SafeGuard operations in the six month period.


	16

Response cost of sales were $2,177,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $2,567,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $390,000 (15.2%) in the current period. This decrease was the result of the Company acting as lead contractor in Iraq and Kuwait in 2003 under the Restore Iraqi Oil Program for the entire 2nd Quarter.

Operating Expenses

Consolidated operating expenses were $3,263,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $3,751,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $488,000 (13%) in the current period. The decrease was a result of lower additional labor, insurance and travel costs in the second quarter of 2004 as compared to the higher level of these expenses related to Iraq and Kuwait revenues for the second quarter of 2003. As previously footnoted on the segmented financial table, operating expenses have been charged to each segment based upon specific identification of expenses and an allocation of remaining non-segment specific expenses pro rata between segments based upon relative revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,668,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $1,471,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $197,000 (13.4%) from the prior period. The increase was partially a result of timing differences relating to holding the annual shareholders meeting during the first six months of 2004 as compared to the fourth quarter in 2003. The Company also incurred additional costs for the solicitation of proxies for the shareholder meeting held during the six month period. In addition, the current period includes an amortization of certain payroll related costs. As previously footnoted on the segmented financial table, corporate selling, general and administrative expenses have been allocated pro rata among the segments on the basis of relative revenue.

Depreciation and Amortization

Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense was relatively consistent between the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. As previously footnoted on the segmented financial table, depreciation has been charged to each segment based upon specific identification of expenses and an allocation of remaining non-segment specific expenses pro rata between segments based upon relative revenues.

Interest Expense and Other, Including Finance Costs

Income Tax Expense

Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $609,000 and $575,000, respectively, and are a result of taxable income in the Company’s foreign operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources/Industry Conditions

Liquidity

At June 30, 2004, the Company had working capital of $7,889,000, including a cash balance of $4,542,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities was $4,430,000. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its working capital requirements for the next twelve months.

The Company generates its revenues from prevention and emergency response services. Response services are generally associated with a specific well control emergency or critical "event" whereas prevention services are generally "non-event" related. The frequency and scale of occurrence for response services varies widely and is inherently unpredictable. There is little statistical correlation between common market activity indicators such as commodity pricing, activity forecasts, E&P operating budgets and resulting response revenues. Non-event services provide a more predictable base of revenue volume. Historically the Company has relied upon event driven services as the primary source of its operating revenues, but more recently the Company’s strategy has been to achieve greater balance between event and non-event service revenues. While the Company has successfully improved this balance, a significant level of event related services is still a required source of revenues and operating income for the Company.

The Company has temporarily demobilized pending the transition to the new contract for the RIO program in Iraq. Currently, it is unclear when the Company will re-mobilize its personnel although the Company remains positioned to continue its previous work and respond immediately whenever an emergency arises in Iraq. The Company relied heavily on the original contract to generate income and cash flow in 2003.

On June 30, 2004, the Company had $746,000 cash and $2,581,000 accounts receivable attributable to its Venezuelan SafeGuard operations. Effective February 5, 2004 the exchange rate changed from 1,600 to 1,920 Bolivars to the U.S. dollar. The Company has taken a charge to equity under the caption "foreign currency translation loss" for approximately $478,000 during the first six months of 2004 to reflect the devaluation of the Bolivar. Venezuela has also been added to the U.S. government’s "watch list" for highly inflationary economies. The Venezuelan government has made it very difficult for US dollars to be repatriated. If this problem persists it could have a negative impact on the Company’s liquidity. At June 30, 2004, the Company had a $746,000 of cash exposure and $2,560,000 of accounts receivable which will most likely be collected in local Venezuelan currency. The Company is monitoring the situation closely and is actively pursuing methods to repatriate cash to the U.S.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s debt consists of both fixed-interest and variable-interest rate debt; consequently, the Company’s earnings and cash flows, as well as the fair values of its fixed-rate debt instruments, are subject to interest-rate risk. The Company has performed sensitivity analyses to assess the impact of this risk based on a hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates. Market rate volatility is dependent on many factors that are impossible to forecast, and actual interest rate increases could be more severe than the hypothetical 10% increase.

The Company estimates that if prevailing market interest rates had been 10% higher during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, and all other factors affecting the Company’s debt remained the same, pretax earnings would have been lower by approximately $3,000 and $17,000, respectively. With respect to the fair value of the Company’s fixed-interest rate debt, if prevailing market interest rates had been 10% higher at the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and all other factors affecting the Company’s debt remained the same, the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt, as determined on a present-value basis, would have been lower by approximately $42,000 and $57,000 at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Given the composition of the Company’s debt structure, the Company does not, for the most part, actively manage its interest rate risk.

The Company operates internationally, giving rise to exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates to the extent that transactions are not denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company typically endeavors to denominate its contracts in U.S. dollars to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies. The current political and economic climate in Venezuela negatively affects the Company’s ability to change local currencies into U.S. dollars. At June 30, 2004, the Company had a $746,000 of cash exposure and $2,560,000 of accounts receivable which will most likely be collected in local Venezuelan currency. The Company is monitoring the situation closely and is actively pursuing methods to repatriate cash to the U.S.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and principal accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of June 30, 2004. Based on their evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
