EXPLANATORY NOTE

On July 15, 1999, we acquired  Cardinal  Holding  Corp.  through its merger
with  one  of  our  wholly-owned subsidiaries. The merger was  treated  for
accounting purposes as  if  Superior was acquired by Cardinal in a purchase
business transaction.  The purchase  method  of accounting required that we
carry  forward  Cardinal's net assets at their historical  book  value  and
reflect Superior's  net assets at their estimated fair value at the date of
the merger.  Accordingly, all historical financial results presented in the
consolidated financial  statements  included  in  this Quarterly Report for
periods prior to July 15, 1999 reflect Cardinal's results  on a stand-alone
basis.    Cardinal's   historical   operating  results  were  substantially
different than ours for the same periods.   The  results  for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000 reflect three and six months,  respectively,
of  operations  of  Cardinal, Superior and Production Management Companies,
Inc., which we acquired  effective  November  1, 1999.  The results for the
three  and six months ended June 30, 1999 reflect  three  and  six  months,
respectively,  of  operations  of  Cardinal  only.  Consequently, analyzing
prior  period  results  to  determine  or  estimate  our  future  operating
potential will be difficult.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 (1) MERGER On July 15, 1999, Superior consummated a merger (the "Merger") whereby it acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Cardinal Holding Corp. ("Cardinal") from the stockholders of Cardinal in exchange for an aggregate of 30,239,568 shares of Superior's common stock (or 51% of the then outstanding common stock). The acquisition was effected through the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Superior, formed for this purpose, with and into Cardinal, with the effect that Cardinal became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Superior. As used in the consolidated financial statements for Superior Energy Services, Inc., the term "Superior" refers to the Company as of dates and periods prior to the Merger and the term "Company" refers to the combined operations of Superior and Cardinal after the consummation of the Merger. Due to the fact that the former Cardinal shareholders received 51% of the outstanding common stock at the date of the Merger, among other factors, the Merger has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition (i.e., a purchase of Superior by Cardinal) under the purchase method of accounting. As such, the Company's consolidated financial statements and other financial information reflect the historical operations of Cardinal for periods and dates prior to the Merger. The net assets of Superior, at the time of the Merger, have been reflected at their estimated fair value pursuant to the purchase method of accounting at the date of the Merger. (2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION Certain information and footnote disclosures normally in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission; however, management believes the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Superior Energy Services, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 has not been audited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods presented have been included therein. The results of operations for the first six months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might be expected for the entire year. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. (3) EARNINGS PER SHARE On July 15, 1999, the Company effected an approximate 364 to 1 stock issuance as a result of the Merger. All earnings per common share amounts, references to common stock, and stockholders' equity amounts have been restated as if the stock issuance had occurred as of the earliest period presented. The effect of preferred dividends distributed prior to the Merger on arriving at the income available to common stockholders was $707,000 and $1,330,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively. (4) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On June 21, 2000, the Company acquired H.B. Rentals, L.C. and its subsidiary Eagle Rentals, Inc. ("HB") for $7.0 million in cash consideration. Additional consideration, if any, will be based upon HB's average eighteen-month and three-year period EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense) less certain adjustments. The total additional consideration, if any, will not exceed $5.2 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and HB's assets and liabilities have been valued at their estimated fair market value. The purchase price allocated to net assets was approximately $1.2 million, and the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of HB of approximately $5.8 million was allocated to goodwill. The results of operations of HB have been included from June 21, 2000. Effective November 1, 1999, the Company acquired Production Management Companies, Inc. ("PMI") for aggregate consideration consisting of $3.0 million in cash, and 610,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an approximate trading price of $5.66. Additional consideration, if any, will be based upon a multiple of four times PMI's EBITDA less certain adjustments. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and PMI's assets and liabilities have been valued at their estimated fair market value. The purchase price allocated to net assets was $3.5 million, and the excess purchase price of $3.0 million over the fair value of net assets was recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of PMI have been included from November 1, 1999. On July 15, 1999, the Company acquired Cardinal through a merger by issuing 30,239,568 shares of the Company's common stock (see note 1). The valuation of Superior's net assets is based upon the 28,849,523 common shares outstanding prior to the Merger at the approximate trading price of $3.78 at the time of the negotiation of the Merger on April 21, 1999. The purchase price allocated to net assets was $53.7 million. The revaluation reflected excess purchase price of $55.3 million over the fair value of net assets, which was recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of Superior have been included from July 15, 1999. Effective July 1, 1999, Superior sold two subsidiaries for a promissory note having an aggregate principal amount of $8.9 million, which bears interest of 7.5% per annum. As part of the sale, the purchasers were granted the right to resell the capital stock of the two companies to the Company in 2002 subject to certain terms and conditions. The following unaudited pro forma information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 presents a summary of the consolidated results of operations as if the Merger, the acquisitions and the sale of the subsidiaries had occurred on January 1, 1999, with pro forma adjustments to give effect to amortization of goodwill, depreciation and certain other adjustments, together with related income tax effects (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2000 1999 2000 1999 -------- -------- --------- -------- Revenues $ 60,531 $ 48,259 $ 111,663 $ 98,586 ======== ======== ========= ======== Net income (loss) $ 3,684 $ (2,148) $ 4,888 $ (869) ======== ======== ========= ======== Basic earnings (loss) per share $ 0.06 $ (0.04) $ 0.08 $ (0.01) ======== ======== ========= ======== Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 0.06 $ (0.04) $ 0.08 $ (0.01) ======== ======== ========= ======== The above pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the Merger, acquisitions and the sale of the subsidiaries been effected on January 1, 1999. Most of Superior's acquisitions have involved additional contingent consideration based upon a multiple of the acquired companies' respective average EBITDA over a three year period from the respective dates of acquisition. In no event will the maximum aggregate consideration exceed $54.6 million for all acquisitions inclusive of the HB and PMI acquisitions. If performance continues at current levels for certain acquired companies, the additional consideration actually paid will be materially less than the maximum consideration. The additional consideration is not currently reflected in the respective companies' purchase price. The additional consideration, if any, will be capitalized as additional purchase price. In the fourth quarter of 2000, additional consideration related to three of our 1997 acquisitions will be determined. In no event will this amount exceed $21.4 million. We expect to use the $22 million portion of the credit facility, which was designed to fund these payments, to the extent that we do not pay them from working capital. (5) SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company's reportable segments, subsequent to the Merger and recent acquisitions, are as follows: well services, wireline, marine, rental tools, environmental, field management and other. Each segment offers products and services within the oilfield services industry. The well services segment provides plug and abandonment services, coiled tubing services, well pumping and stimulation services, data acquisition services, gas lift services and electric wireline services. The wireline segment provides mechanical wireline services that perform a variety of ongoing maintenance and repairs to producing wells, as well as modifications to enhance the production capacity and life span of the well.
