NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RPC, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“RPC” or the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810, “Consolidation” and Rule 3A-02(a) of Regulation S-X. In accordance with ASC Topic 810 and Rule 3A-02 (a) of Regulation S-X, the Company’s policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries and investees where it has voting control. The Company does not have any material subsidiaries or investees where it has less than a 100% equity interest or less than 100% voting control, nor does it have any material interest in other investees, joint ventures, or other variable interest entities that require consolidation under ASC Topic 810.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which consisted of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

A group that includes the Company’s Chairman of the Board, R. Randall Rollins and his brother Gary W. Rollins, who is also a director of the Company, and certain companies under their control, controls in excess of fifty percent of the Company’s voting power.

REVENUES

RPC’s revenues are generated principally from providing services and the related equipment. Revenues are recognized when the services are rendered and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from services and equipment are based on fixed or determinable priced purchase orders or contracts with the customer and do not include the right of return. Rates for services and equipment are priced on a per day, per unit of measure, per man hour or similar basis. Sales tax charged to customers is presented on a net basis within the consolidated statement of operations and excluded from revenues.

3.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (ASU).

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

● ASU 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments to the Codification in this ASU clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and not a share dividend. The Company adopted these provisions in the first quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

● ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The amendments to the Codification in this ASU now require

1.	the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfer be disclosed separately and

2.	in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements.

3.	judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities when reporting fair value measurements for each class

4.	disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.

The Company complied with these disclosure requirements in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and plans to provide the disclosures on an interim basis as necessary. Adoption of these disclosure requirements did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

● ASU 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. The amendments to the Codification in this ASU provide guidance on share-based payment awards to employees with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trade. The ASU states that if such awards meet all the criteria for equity should be classified as such and not liability based solely on the currency it is denominated in. The amendments are effective beginning in 2011 with adoption required in the first quarter of that year. Adoption of these provisions is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

FASB ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share-Overall,” requires a basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share presentation. Certain amendments to ASC 260-10 require that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, be considered participating securities and included in the calculation of its basic earnings per share.

The Company has periodically issued share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are therefore considered participating securities.

The basic and diluted calculations differ as a result of the dilutive effect of stock options and time lapse restricted shares and performance restricted shares included in diluted earnings per share, but excluded from basic earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

7.	BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

RPC’s service lines have been aggregated into two reportable oil and gas services segments, Technical Services and Support Services, because of the similarities between the financial performance and approach to managing the service lines within each of the segments, as well as the economic and business conditions impacting their business activity levels. Corporate includes selected administrative costs incurred by the Company that are not allocated to business units. Gains or losses on disposition of assets are reviewed by the Company’s chief decision maker on a consolidated basis, and accordingly the Company does not report gains or losses at the segment level.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Technical Services include RPC’s oil and gas service lines that utilize people and equipment to perform value-added completion, production and maintenance services directly to a customer’s well. These services include pressure pumping services, snubbing, coiled tubing, nitrogen pumping, well control consulting and firefighting, downhole tools, wireline, and fluid pumping services. These Technical Services are primarily used in the completion, production and maintenance of oil and gas wells. The principal markets for this segment include the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, the mid-continent, southwest, Rocky Mountain and Appalachian regions, and international locations including primarily Africa, Canada, China, Latin America, the Middle East and New Zealand. Customers include major multi-national and independent oil and gas producers, and selected nationally-owned oil companies.

Support Services include RPC’s oil and gas service lines that primarily provide equipment for customer use or services to assist customer operations. The equipment and services include drill pipe and related tools, pipe handling, inspection and storage services and oilfield training services. The demand for these services tends to be influenced primarily by customer drilling-related activity levels. The principal markets for this segment include the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico and the mid-continent regions, and international locations, including primarily New Zealand, Canada, Latin America, and the Middle East. Customers include domestic operations of major multi-national and independent oil and gas producers, and selected nationally-owned oil companies.

Inter-segment revenues are generally recorded in segment operating results at prices that management believes approximate prices for arm’s length transactions and are not material to operating results.

10.	NOTES PAYABLE TO BANKS

The Company currently has a revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc, as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager, Banc of America Securities LLC as Joint Lead Arranger, and a syndicate of other lenders. The Revolving Credit Agreement includes a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company’s 100% owned domestic subsidiaries whose assets equal substantially all of the consolidated assets of RPC and its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries of the Company that are not guarantors are considered minor.

The Revolving Credit Agreement has a general term of five years and provides for an unsecured line of credit of up to $200 million, which includes a $50 million letter of credit subfacility, and a $20 million swingline subfacility. The maturity date of all revolving loans under the Credit Agreement is September 8, 2011. The Company has incurred loan origination fees and other debt related costs associated with the line of credit, including amendment costs in the aggregate of approximately $753 thousand. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of the five year loan, and the net amount is classified as non-current other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at one of the following two rates, at the Company’s election:

● the Base Rate, which is the highest of SunTrust Bank’s “prime rate” for the day of the borrowing, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus .50%, and a rate per annum equal to the one (1) month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%; or

● with respect to any Eurodollar borrowings, Adjusted LIBOR (which equals LIBOR as increased to account for the maximum reserve percentages established by the U.S. Federal Reserve) plus a margin ranging from .40% to .80%, based upon RPC’s then-current consolidated debt-to-EBITDA ratio. In addition, RPC will pay an annual fee ranging from .10% to .20% of the total credit facility based upon the Company’s then-current consolidated debt-to-EBITDA ratio.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including certain financial covenants and restrictions on indebtedness, dividend payments, business combinations and other related items. Further, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains financial covenants limiting the ratio of the Company’s consolidated debt-to-EBITDA to no more than 2.5 to 1, and limiting the ratio of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to interest expense to no less than 2 to 1.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $100,850,000 under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Interest incurred on the credit facility was $584,000 and $1,122,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, and $598,000 and $1,255,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The weighted average interest rate was 2.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, and 1.9% and 1.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 the Company capitalized interest of approximately $83,000 and $123,000 related to facilities and equipment under construction. Additionally there were letters of credit outstanding relating to self-insurance programs and contract bids totaling $17.6 million as of June 30, 2010.

In December 2008 the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converted $50 million of the Company’s variable-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thereby hedging against the impact of potential interest rate changes on future interest expense. The agreement terminates on September 8, 2011. Under this agreement the Company and the issuing lender settle on a monthly basis for the difference between a fixed interest rate of 2.07% and a comparable one month LIBOR rate.

11.	INCOME TAXES

The Company determines its periodic income tax benefit or expense based upon the current period income and the annual estimated tax rate for the Company adjusted for any change to prior period estimates. The estimated tax rate is revised, if necessary, as of the end of each successive interim period during the fiscal year to the Company’s current annual estimated tax rate.

12.	SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOWS INFORMATION

The Company had accounts payable for purchases of property, plant and equipment of approximately $8,462,000 as of June 30, 2010, and approximately $7,441,000 as of June 30, 2009.

13.	FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The various inputs used to measure assets at fair value establish a hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows:

1.	Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

3.	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.

The following table summarizes the valuation of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Assets:

Available for sale securities		653		-		-
Liabilities:

The Company determines the fair value of the marketable securities that are available-for-sale through quoted market prices. The total fair value is the final closing price, as defined by the exchange in which the asset is actively traded, on the last trading day of the period, multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. Significant observable inputs in addition to quoted market prices were used to value trading securities. As a result, the Company classified these investments as using level 2 inputs.

The outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Agreement was $100,850,000 at June 30, 2010 and $90,300,000 at December 31, 2009. The fair value of these borrowings was $98,329,000 at June 30, 2010 and $88,043,000 at December 31, 2009. The fair value of these borrowings was based on quotes from the lender (level 2 inputs). The borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit agreement bear interest at the variable rate described in Note 10. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on the variable component of the interest rate. The Company’s risk management objective is to lock in the interest cash outflows on a portion of the Company’s debt. As a result, as described in Note 10, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on $50 million of debt to a fixed-rate, thereby hedging against the impact of potential interest rate changes on future interest expense. The interest rate swap had a negative fair value, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities, of $887,000 at June 30, 2010 and $820,000 at December 31, 2009. The fair value of the interest rate swap was based on quotes from the issuer of the swap and represents the estimated amounts that the Company would expect to pay to terminate the swap as of the respective dates.

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments reported in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company currently does not use the fair value option to measure any of its existing financial instruments and has not determined whether or not it will elect this option for financial instruments it may acquire in the future.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document. See also “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 29.

RPC, Inc. (“RPC”) provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services primarily to independent and major oilfield companies engaged in exploration, production and development of oil and gas properties throughout the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, mid-continent, southwest, Rocky Mountain and Appalachian regions, and in selected international locations. The Company’s revenues and profits are generated by providing equipment and services to customers who operate oil and gas properties and invest capital to drill new wells and enhance production or perform maintenance on existing wells. We continuously monitor factors that impact the level of current and expected customer activity levels, such as the price of oil and natural gas, changes in pricing for our services and equipment, and utilization of our equipment and personnel. Our financial results are affected by geopolitical factors such as political instability in the petroleum-producing regions of the world, overall economic conditions and weather in the United States, the prices of oil and natural gas, and our customers’ drilling and production activities.

The discussion of our key business and financial strategies set forth under the Overview section in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 is incorporated herein by reference. Since year end 2009, the Company’s near-term strategy has changed as we now believe there are additional opportunities to utilize a larger fleet of equipment in several unconventional basins in support of several customer opportunities. We believe that a larger fleet of equipment will increase our revenues and profits as soon as the fourth quarter of 2010. As a result, we have increased our 2010 capital expenditures in order to support this expansion effort.

During the second quarter of 2010, revenues increased 99.1 percent to $252.9 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in revenues resulted primarily from higher activity levels, the expansion of customer relationships, and improved pricing within our technical services segment. International revenues for the second quarter of 2010 improved due to increases in customer activity levels in New Zealand, Canada, Qatar and Colombia, partially offset by decreases in Egypt, Australia and Cameroon. We continue to focus on developing international growth opportunities; however, it is difficult to predict when contracts and projects will be initiated and their ultimate duration.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased approximately 16.5 percentage points in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. This decrease was due primarily to improved pricing for our services, the growing service intensity of much of our pressure pumping work, improved procurement of our raw materials, and leverage of other direct costs over higher revenues.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased by approximately 6.7 percentage points in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year due to positive leverage of these costs resulting from higher revenues.

Income before income taxes increased to $51.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a loss of $19.4 million in the same period of 2009 primarily because of higher revenues. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 38.4 percent compared to 40.0 percent in the same period of the prior year. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.32 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to diluted loss per share of $0.12 in the same period of 2009. Cash flows from operating activities were $47.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $103.5 million in the same period of 2009 due to increased working capital requirements consistent with higher revenues and business activity levels. The notes payable to banks declined to $100.9 million as of June 30, 2010 compared to $123.6 million as of June 30, 2009.

Capital expenditures were $56.8 million during the first six months of 2010. We currently expect capital expenditures to be approximately $210 million during full year 2010. Our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2010 will be directed towards growth opportunities, as well as capitalized maintenance costs, and equipment related to specific projects in which we have a contract with a customer.

Outlook

Drilling activity in the U.S. domestic oilfields, as measured by the rotary drilling rig count, had been gradually increasing since about 2003 when rig count was just over 800 through the latter half of 2008 when the U.S. rig count peaked at 2,031 during the third quarter. The global recession that began in the fourth quarter of 2007 precipitated the steepest annualized decline in U.S. domestic oilfield history. From the third quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2009, the U.S. domestic rig count dropped almost 57 percent, reaching a trough of 876 in June 2009. Since June 2009, the rig count has increased by 81 percent to 1,585 early in the third quarter of 2010. The outlook for U.S. domestic oilfield activity remains positive for the remainder of 2010. The price of oil fell by 77 percent from $147 per barrel in the third quarter of 2008 to $34 early in 2009. Since that time, the price of oil has increased by over 100 percent to approximately $79 per barrel in the third quarter of 2010. The price of natural gas fell by 85 percent from approximately $13 per Mcf in the second quarter of 2008 to slightly below $2 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2009. Since that time, the price of natural gas has increased to almost $5 per Mcf early in the third quarter of 2010.

Unconventional drilling activity, which requires more of RPC’s services than conventional drilling activity, accounted for 64 percent of total U.S. domestic drilling at the end of 2009. Unconventional activity as a percentage of total oilfield activity continued to expand to 69 percent during the second quarter of 2010.

The disaster that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico in April did not materially impact our financial results during the second quarter because our exposure to this region, especially in deep water operations, is minimal. However, we are closely monitoring regulatory changes in order to comply with any new standards which could impact our operations. In addition, we are observing our customers’ activities and other indicators in our operating environment. The incident in the Gulf of Mexico has not diminished our confidence in the long-term prospects for the oilfield services business in the U.S. domestic market.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

We continue to monitor the competitive environment. Increasing activity levels and the service-intensive nature of completion activities in unconventional basins, in which we have a growing presence, have presented opportunities to improve utilization and pricing. However, the market remains competitive, and we are concerned about the near-term weakness in the price of natural gas. Our response to the industry’s potential uncertainty is to maintain sufficient liquidity and a conservative capital structure and monitor our discretionary spending. We intend to closely manage the amount drawn on our credit facility over the course of 2010 as we increase our capital expenditure budget. Based on current industry conditions, we believe that during 2010 the Company’s consolidated revenues will increase and financial performance will improve.

Domestic revenues increased 100.0 percent to $237.2 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The increases in revenues are due primarily to higher activity levels, coupled with the expansion of customer relationships and improved pricing within our technical services segment. International revenues increased 81.8 percent to $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year. Our international revenues are impacted by the timing of project initiation and their ultimate duration and can be volatile in nature.

The average price of natural gas increased approximately 16.3 percent and the average price of oil increased 29.8 percent during the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The average domestic rig count during the quarter was approximately 61.2 percent higher than the same period in 2009.

The Technical Services segment revenues for the quarter increased 105.1 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenues in this segment increased due primarily to higher activity levels from customer commitments that improved our utilization coupled with improved pricing. The Support Services segment revenues for the quarter increased by 60.6 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was due primarily to higher activity levels in this segment. Operating profit in the Technical Services segment improved due to higher revenues, improved pricing, and cost leverage. Operating profit in the Support Services segment improved due to higher revenues and cost leverage in this segment.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues increased 53.1 percent to $139.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $91.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was due to the variable nature of several of these expenses. Cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, decreased in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 due primarily to improved pricing for our services, the growing service intensity of much of our pressure pumping work, improved procurement of our raw materials and leverage of direct costs over higher revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased 26.1 percent to $29.5 million compared to $23.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was primarily due to increases in total employment costs, including increased incentive compensation consistent with improved operating results. However, these costs as a percent of revenues decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the higher revenues and fixed nature of several of these expenses.

Interest expense and interest income. Interest expense was $502 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $527 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in 2010 is due to a lower average balance on our revolving credit facility, net of interest capitalized on equipment and facilities under construction. Interest income was $9 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $52 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Income tax provision (benefit). Income tax provision (benefit) was $19.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $(7.7) million for the same period in 2009. This increase was due to the increase in income before taxes. The effective tax rate of 38.4 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was lower than the 40.0 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due primarily to changes in the relationship of annual estimates of pretax income and permanent tax differences.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2010 were $3.7 million. The following table sets forth the historical cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

	Six months ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2010			2009

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	47,804		$	103,530
Net cash used for investing activities		(50,310	)		(39,044	)
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities		1,700			(64,711	)

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased by $55.7 million compared to the comparable period in the prior year. Although net earnings increased $52.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009, cash provided by operating activities decreased due primarily to increases in working capital requirements in the current year compared to decreases in the prior year. The significant changes in working capital requirements in both periods primarily related to accounts receivable, corresponding to the changes in revenues.

Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased by $11.3 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily as a result of higher capital expenditures.

Cash provided by (used for) financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased by $66.4 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, as result of increasing the balance of notes payable to banks in the first six months of 2010, primarily to fund working capital requirements coupled with lower dividend distributions in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2010 remains strong. We believe the liquidity provided by our existing cash and cash equivalents, our overall strong capitalization, cash expected to be generated from operations and proceeds from a refinanced and expanded credit facility that we believe will be in place by the end of the third quarter will provide sufficient capital to meet our requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company currently has a $200 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) that matures in September 2011. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including certain financial covenants including covenants restricting RPC’s ability to incur liens or merge or consolidate with another entity. Our outstanding borrowings were $100.9 million at June 30, 2010 and approximately $17.6 million of the credit facility supports outstanding letters of credit relating to self-insurance programs or contract bids. A total of $81.5 million was available under our facility as of June 30, 2010. Additional information regarding our Revolving Credit Agreement is included in Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. The Company expects to refinance and increase the size of our credit facility.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company’s decisions about the amount of cash to be used for investing and financing purposes are influenced by its capital position, including access to borrowings under our refinanced and expanded credit facility that we believe will be in place by the end of the third quarter. The expected amount of cash to be provided by operations. We believe our liquidity will continue to provide the opportunity to grow our asset base and revenues during periods with positive business conditions and strong customer activity levels. In addition, the Company’s decisions about the amount of cash to be used for investing and financing activities may also be influenced by the financial covenants in our credit facility.

Cash Requirements

The Company currently expects that capital expenditures during 2010 will be approximately $210 million, of which $56.8 million has been spent as of June 30, 2010. We expect these expenditures for the remainder of 2010 to be primarily directed towards several growth opportunities we have identified, as well as capitalized maintenance and equipment related to specific projects in which we have a contract with a customer. The actual amount of 2010 expenditures will depend primarily on equipment maintenance requirements, expansion opportunities, and equipment delivery schedules.

The Company has ongoing sales and use tax audits in various jurisdictions and may be subjected to varying interpretations of statutes that could result in unfavorable outcomes that cannot be currently estimated.

The Company’s Retirement Income Plan, a multiple employer trusteed defined benefit pension plan, provides monthly benefits upon retirement at age 65 to eligible employees. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company contributed $614,000 to the pension plan. The Company does not currently expect to make any additional contributions to this plan during the remainder of 2010.

The Company’s Board of Directors announced a stock buyback program on March 9, 1998 authorizing the repurchase of 11,812,500 shares. The Company repurchased no shares of common stock under the program during the six months ended June 30, 2010 but may repurchase outstanding common shares periodically based on market conditions and our capital allocation strategies and restrictions under our credit facility. The stock buyback program does not have a predetermined expiration date.

On July 27, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a $0.06 per share cash dividend payable September 10, 2010 to stockholders of record at the close of business August 10, 2010. The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends to common stockholders, subject to the earnings and financial condition of the Company and other relevant factors.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

INFLATION

The Company purchases its equipment and materials from suppliers who provide competitive prices, and employs skilled workers from competitive labor markets. If inflation in the general economy increases, the Company’s costs for equipment, materials and labor could increase as well. Also, increases in activity in the domestic oilfield can cause upward wage pressures in the labor markets from which it hires employees as well as increases in the costs of certain materials used to provide services to the Company’s customers. During the first six months of 2010, the Company incurred higher fuel costs due to increased commodity prices compared to the same period in 2009. Also, the Company believes that it will be subject to upward wage pressures during the second half of 2010. Finally, the costs of certain materials used to provide services to RPC’s customers remain high and may increase during the remainder of 2010 if oilfield activity remains strong. The Company has attempted to mitigate the risk of cost increases by securing materials through different sources, although no assurance can be given that these efforts will be successful.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any material off balance sheet arrangements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A detailed discussion of the various agreements in effect is contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, RPC charged Marine Products Corporation for its allocable share of administrative costs incurred for services rendered on behalf of Marine Products Corporation totaling approximately $326,000 and $379,000 for the comparable period in 2009.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion of Critical Accounting Policies is incorporated herein by reference from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies since year-end.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on results of operations and financial condition.

SEASONALITY

Oil and natural gas prices affect demand throughout the oil and natural gas industry, including the demand for the Company’s products and services. The Company’s business depends in large part on the conditions of the oil and gas industry, and specifically on the capital expenditures of its customers related to the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. There is a positive correlation between these expenditures and customers’ demand for the Company’s services. As such, when these expenditures fluctuate, customers’ demand for the Company’s services fluctuates as well. These fluctuations depend on the current and projected prices of oil and natural gas and resulting drilling activity, and are not seasonal to any material degree.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this report that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; our plan to continue to focus on international growth opportunities; the outlook that the US domestic oil field activity is to increase slowly during the remainder of 2010; our concern about the near term weakness in the price of natural gas; our plan to maintain sufficient liquidity and a conservative capital structure and monitor our discretionary spending; our plan to closely monitor the amount drawn on our credit facility over the course of 2010; our belief that during 2010 our forecasted revenues will increase and financial performance will improve; our expectation that we will refinance our credit facility before the end of 2010; our belief that there are additional opportunities to utilize a larger fleet of equipment and that a larger fleet will increase our revenues and profits as soon as the fourth quarter of 2010; our business strategy, plans and objectives; market risk exposure; adequacy of capital resources and funds; opportunity for growth and expansion; anticipated pension funding payments and capital expenditures; expectations as to future payment of dividends; the possible unfavorable outcome of sales and use tax audits; the impact of inflation and related trends on the Company’s financial position and operating results; our belief that the outcome of litigation will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial position or results of operations; our beliefs and expectations regarding future demand for our products and services, and other events and conditions that may influence the oilfield services market and our performance in the future. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “focus,” “plan,” and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes to be appropriate. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of RPC to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in such forward looking statements. Risk factors that could cause such future events not to occur as expected include those described in the Company ’ s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, its other SEC filings and the following: the declines in the price of oil and natural gas, which tend to result in a decrease in drilling activity and therefore a decline in the demand for our services, the actions of the OPEC cartel, the ultimate impact of current and potential political unrest and armed conflict in the oil producing regions of the world, which could impact drilling activity, adverse weather conditions in oil or gas producing regions, including the Gulf of Mexico, competition in the oil and gas industry, the Company’s ability to implement price increases, the potential impact of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on the regulation of offshore oil and gas exploration and development, and risks of international operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to interest rate risk exposure through borrowings on its credit facility. As of June 30, 2010, there are outstanding interest-bearing advances of $100.9 million on our credit facility which bear interest at a floating rate. In December 2008 we entered into a $50 million interest rate swap agreement that effectively converted this portion of the outstanding variable-rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement to a fixed-rate basis, thereby hedging against the impact of potential interest rate changes. Under this agreement, the Company and the issuing lender settle each month for the difference between a fixed interest rate of 2.07% and a comparable one month variable-rate interest paid to the syndicate of lenders under our Revolving Credit Agreement on the same notional amount, excluding the margin. The swap agreement terminates on September 8, 2011. As of June 30, 2010 the interest rate swap had a negative fair value of $887,000 and is reflected in other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet. An increase in interest rates of one half of one percent would result in the interest rate swap having a negative fair value of approximately $607,000. A decrease in interest rates of one half of one percent would result in the interest rate swap having a negative fair value of approximately $1,174,000. A change in interest rates will have no impact on the interest expense associated with the $50,000,000 of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement that are subject to the interest rate swap. A change in the interest rate of one percent on the remaining outstanding balance of the credit facility at June 30, 2010 not subject to the interest rate swap would cause a change of $509,000 in total annual interest costs.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
