Hey 10bagger, with leader dipping.....do you still think this one has rebound portential? Are you still in it, and thinking of adding?
And one last question...do you know any other Canadian based drillers to compare it too.....I know CFK was bought out a while back.
best.
LDRXF.. $0.361.. It just got too cheap with the prospects going forward.. Added another 66000 during the past 2 weeks at an Ave. of less than $0.30 Cdn.. have bids in for more but have not raised them above $0.30 Cdn..If you are willing to hold longer term I think that the $0.80's could become a reality before any real selling shows up.. But that could take 24 to 36 months.. hank
LDRXF.. $0.2737.. Re-established a position today..
Split 100K with a friend.. The services of LDRXF continue to make inroads in areas where they operate.. I have spoken to the company several times during the past month and I feel that earnings will be positive during the second Qtr.. of the year..
Setups and contracts appear to be moving along on a reduced level at present but interest in LDRXF areas of operations are reflected in lease price appreciation during the past 10 Weeks..
Lease tightning always preceeds drilling activities and a colder than expected winter will aid in the expansion of drilling services..
I think a double from this level is possible in 2013.. hank
LDRXF.. $0.593..

Overview
Headquartered out of Calgary, Alberta, Leader Energy Services Ltd.'s ("Leader" or the "Company") operations are managed from its operations base in Grande Prairie, Alberta. From this base the Company offers well stimulation services across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB").
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, revenues increased 9% to $11.1 million, a $0.9 million increase compared to the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. The 9% increase in revenue mainly reflects the increase in horizontal drilling activity resulting in continued demand for deeper and larger diameter coil applications, which translates to higher day rates. Consistent with 2011, the Company has continued to focus its service activities to meet the demands of the growing horizontal drilling market and is providing its services to a larger area within the WCSB.
The Company estimates that the late start in January combined with an early spring break-up resulted in the loss of approximately $1.75 million in revenue. The early spring break-up had the added effect of increasing costs to transport equipment to the field.
In the first quarter of 2012, the Company reported income from continuing operations of $0.9 million as compared to income from continuing operations of $1.3 million in 2011. Excluding non-cash losses on settlement of loans and borrowings, the Company reported income from continuing operations of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2011.
On March 27, 2012, the Company completed its bought deal equity financing for gross proceeds of $6,853,000 representing the issue of 9,790,000 common shares of the Company at $0.70 per share, including 1,218,000 common shares pursuant to the partial exercise of an over-allotment option. After deducting underwriter fees and transaction costs, net proceeds from the equity financing were $6.1 million. On April 4, 2012, the Company paid $6.1 million of the outstanding $15 million balance to the holder of its secured debt facility.
Results of Continuing Operations
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well Stimulation Services (000's) (unaudited) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 31, March 31, Quarter ended 2012 2011 $ Change % Change ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue $11,072 $10,138 $934 9% Operating Expenses 6,720 5,131 1,589 31% --------------------------------------------------- Gross profit(i) $4,352 $5,007 $(655) (13)%
(i) Management believes that gross profit provides investors with an indication of income before administrative costs, amortization, finance costs, taxes and other. Readers are cautioned that gross profit should not be considered as an alternative to income determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance.
Revenues from well stimulation services increased to $11.1 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $10.1 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. This 9% increase in revenue is mainly attributed to the continued demand for deeper, larger diameter coil equipment applicable to the horizontal drilling market in north-central Alberta and northeast British Columbia. This concentration on larger diameter deep coil work focuses on oil and liquids-rich resource plays, and has resulted in higher day rates being charged by the Company. These higher revenues were partially offset by an increase in equipment standby at lower day rates as a result of an industry-wide shortage of class three 2" and 2 3/8" coiled tubing units. As a result of this shortage, customers requested equipment stay on location at lower standby rates in anticipation of further work at these locations, forcing the Company to delay upcoming jobs and in some circumstances turn down potential projects while this equipment was deployed. The Company estimates that an additional $0.4 million in revenue would have been earned had the equipment been operational rather than on standby. In addition, the late start to activity in January combined with the early spring break-up, reduced revenue reported in the quarter by an estimated $1.75 million.
The Company took delivery of its new 2 3/8" deep coiled tubing unit in late February 2012 and its two new fluid pumpers in February and late March respectively. This equipment is in very high demand and forms an integral component of longer-reach coiled tubing applications. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has six coiled tubing units plus one reel trailer, seven nitrogen pumpers and three fluid pumpers. Three of these coiled tubing units and one reel trailer are classified as "deep" coil units.
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company reported operating costs of $6.7 million as compared to $5.1 million in the same quarter in 2011. The increase in operating expenses in the current quarter is a result of an increase in field personnel required to operate the new 2 3/8" coiled tubing unit and the new fluid pumpers, higher compensation charges for field personnel, rental of equipment in the field, and a continued reliance on third party transportation of nitrogen. In addition, the early start to spring break-up in March resulted in the Company renting additional trailers to redistribute weight of its equipment to ensure that it complied with road ban and published weight restrictions. These modifications reduce operational efficiency due to an increase in personnel traveling to location, higher fuel costs due to an increase in the number of tractors transporting equipment to location, and varying travel times, resulting in higher daily costs for lodging and field pay such as day rates and subsistence. In response to the reliance on third party transportation, the Company has taken delivery of additional equipment in April 2012 to reduce this reliance on a go-forward basis.
Outlook
Spring breakup arrived early this year, curtailing revenue for the first quarter by approximately 15%. The early breakup, combined with below average snow levels over the winter could see a return to summer operating conditions sooner than normal. Leader expects utilization rates for the second half of 2012 to be similar to 2011 as demand remains strong for the Company's services. The remainder of equipment built under the 2011 capital program was delivered at the end of the first quarter of 2012; given a larger equipment fleet and steady utilization rates, the Company expects an increase in year-over-year revenue. Leader remains focused on reducing overall debt levels while opportunistically increasing its capital expenditures to take advantage of growing demand expected in its three service lines.

A poster on Stockhouse.com said the reason for the current sell off is because the recent exchange of debt for stock wasn't large enough... Therefore resulting in additional dilution later. Doesn't make much sense to me... now or later, what's the difference?
Good call so far Hank. Are you thinking of scaling back in? I bought a small piece in the high $0.6s but have held off on getting any more for now.
LDRXF.. $0.6048,, As I expected the price continues to erode.. hank
LDRXF.. $0.668.. Cross post explaining weather in the oil patch and it's impacat on O&G service companies.. It looks like with the additional shares and the lack of work due to weather we will be back on the same cycle as LDRXF was as when I first bought it below $0.20.. I don't think we will see it trading that low because it is a much stronger and better finannicals are present but it could trade back into the high $0.40's with most of the selling coming from Canada.. .. hank
LEA and spring break up: It appears spring breakup has already started in Alberta. Lighter than normal snow fall brings hope that the break up period will also be shorter than normal this time:
Spring break up is when the rigs cannot move to the next work site because road bans are in place. Until road bans are lifted, the rig is shut down and the crews are sent home and laid off if there is no work for them on other rigs.
Spring break up can last anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months, depending on weather and activity levels. It can start as early as the end of February and continue until the beginning of June.

Early spring breakup looms; dry summer to follow?Posted on Mar 22, 2012
Its becoming a matter of consensus that Alberta will have an early spring breakup this year, despite Thursday morning’s brief flurries in Calgary.
Such events are not considered positives for the oil and gas services business, as melting ground leads to soft back roads and municipal road bans, making it impossible to get rigs and trucks and other heavy equipment to the well site.
TriOil Resources Ltd. reported earlier this week that road bans are already affecting its Lochend Cardium play just northwest of Calgary.
Alberta Transportation has a list of road bans on its website and, as of Thursday, the list was five pages long.
An early breakup is bad but a long breakup is worse. Last spring, companies in plays from northwestern Alberta to southwestern Manitoba were hit by wet conditions that drowned equipment and roads in massive lakes. Production and cash flow suffered accordingly.
Farmers may not like the lack of snowpack in the Prairies this winter but oil and gas explorers are hoping it means a short period of enforced idleness followed by a long, dry and productive summer.

Overview
Headquartered out of Calgary, Alberta, the Company's operations are managed from its operations base in Grande Prairie, Alberta. From this base the Company offers well stimulation services across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB").
The Company reported a 99% increase in revenue and 900% increase in EBITDA as compared to the prior year. This increase can be attributed to an improvement in western Canadian oil and gas development activity, and an increase in horizontal drilling activity leading to greater demand for larger diameter coil and deeper job applications.
The Company's net income from continuing operations of $1.9 million ($0.14 per basic share) for 2010 represents a $6.8 million improvement over the prior year's net loss from continuing operations of $4.9 million (loss of $0.37 per basic share). This improvement is due to an increase in revenue resulting from greater demand for deeper and larger diameter coil applications, an increase in the utilization of both coiled tubing and nitrogen pumping equipment in the field, and the benefits of continued cost control efforts in the field partially offset by higher general and administrative and amortization expenses.

Management believes that field profit provides investors with an indication of earnings before administrative costs, depreciation, interest, and taxes. Readers are cautioned that field profit should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with Canadian GAAP as an indicator of the Company's performance.
Revenues in well stimulation services increased 99% in 2010 as compared to 2009. In every quarter of 2010, the Company reported an increase in revenue as compared to the revenue reported in the prior year. The proliferation of horizontal drilling activity in northwest Alberta and northeast British Columbia along with an improvement in the economic environment have been key contributors to the increase in revenue. Horizontal drilling activity in areas such as the Montney, Cardium and Horn River is driving demand for deeper and larger diameter coil applications which normally translates to higher daily revenues. The Company had five coiled tubing units including two larger diameter 2" coil units operating during the year. In 2011, the Company is adding both a 2" unit and a 2-3/8" unit to its fleet. The improvement in revenue can also be attributed to the Company offering its services in a larger area within the WCSB along with a higher utilization of nitrogen equipment as compared to the prior year. The Company offers nitrogen services in conjunction with coiled tubing applications and on a stand-alone basis. In 2010, the Company operated seven nitrogen pumpers and reported revenue from nitrogen services of $11.5 million as compared to $5.8 million in 2009.
In December 2010, the Company expanded its service line by adding a fluid pumper to its fleet of equipment. Applications for this equipment include pumping fluids down the wellbore to activate downhole motors used in drilling out composite plugs in the horizontal sections, and providing chemical injections.
Operating costs totaled $14.0 million (53% of revenue) in 2010 as compared to $8.9 million (67% of revenue) in 2009. Operating costs declined as a percentage of revenues in 2010 due to the increase in deeper and larger diameter coil work during the year which equates to higher day rates and higher margins as compared to the work performed in 2009. Throughout 2010, the Company continued to benefit from efficiencies achieved through a larger percentage of higher margin work, ongoing cost control initiatives associated with operations and the Company's labour resources, and the centralization of its operational efforts out of one facility located in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2010, the Company held cash of $2.4 million and positive working capital of $5.3 million as compared to $1.0 million and $1.8 million respectively for the December 31, 2009 year end. For the year ended December 31, 2010 cash flow from continuing operations before changes in non-cash working capital was $6.2 million, an improvement of $6.7 million over the previous year.
The Company maintained a positive working capital balance throughout 2010, and reported $2.0 million in cash flow from continuing operations before changes in non-cash working capital during the fourth quarter of 2010. An increase in operations has driven this improvement in working capital in both the fourth quarter and on an annual basis.
Outlook
The Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC) is forecasting a total of 12,750 wells drilled across Canada for 2011, of which 8,390 will be drilled in Alberta, representing increases of 5% and 4% respectively over 2010 levels. Exploration and development activities in western Canada remain focused on horizontal wells and multistage completions in liquids-rich gas plays such as the Montney and unconventional light oil plays such as the Cardium and Viking. Leader is well positioned to provide large diameter coiled tubing, nitrogen and fluid pumping services through this very active corridor from northeastern BC through south-central Alberta. We expect to continue seeing an escalation in the amount of horizontal wells drilled over the foreseeable future and in the depth of the wells that are drilled, activities that require each of Leader's service offerings. As a result, the Company expects to

On Friday November 12, 2010, 4:17 pm EST
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 12, 2010) - Leader Energy Services Ltd. ("Leader" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:LEA - News) today announced financial and operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010. Third quarter revenue and EBITDAS increased by $4.5 million (250%) and $3.1 million (495%) respectively over the comparable period last year. For the nine months to date, revenue and EBITDAS increased by $8.4 million (91%) and $5.3 million (1,873%) respectively over the comparable period last year.
Overview
Headquartered out of Calgary, Alberta, Leader's operations are managed from its base in Grande Prairie, Alberta. From this base the Company offers well stimulation services across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB").
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010 the Company recorded a profit from continuing operations before interest, taxes, amortization and stock based compensation ("E(L)BITDAS") of $2.5 million and a net income of $1.1 million as compared to a loss of E(L)BITDAS of $622,000 and a net loss from continuing operations of $2.5 million in the prior year third quarter. The improvement in E(L)BITDAS over the prior year third quarter results is due to increased industry activity levels with a greater concentration of operations on deeper wells. The net income of $1.1 million for the current period was also an improvement over the prior year's third quarter loss of $791,000 predominantly due to an improved E(L)BITDAS in the current period.
As a result of the Company's improved E(L)BITDAS, cash flow from continuing operating activities before changes in non-working capital balances was positive $1.8 million in the 2010 third quarter which was a significant improvement over the prior year's third quarter cash flow from continuing operations of negative $1.3 million. Management continues to take all action possible to further increase its revenues while minimizing or reducing its administrative overhead costs and related operational costs in order to improve its cash flow from continuing operations.
Subsequent to the balance sheet date the Company secured a $3.0 million revolving credit facility from a Canadian chartered bank. The interest rate applicable to funds borrowed is the bank's prime rate plus 2.75% with the borrowing based on funds available as determined in reference to the Company's accounts receivable balance. The loan facility has an expiry date of January 31, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at the end of the third quarter of 2010, the Company held cash of $1.5 million and positive working capital of $3.4 million as compared to $1.0 million and $1.8 million respectively as at December 31, 2009.
The 2010 third quarter cash flow from continuing operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital balances was positive $1.8 million while the cash flow from continuing operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was positive $4.2 million a significant improvement over the 2009 amounts of negative $1.3 million and negative $1.7 million for the respective three and nine month periods.
The improved 2010 cash flows and cash balance were due to increased activity levels and the resulting improvement in income from continuing operations and the effect that the improved operations had on accounts receivable and cash balances.
Management is pleased with the current results of operations and will continue to take action wherever possible to increase the Company's revenues and reduce administrative and operational costs.
Outlook
Leader continues to show much-improved financial results relative to 2009. The Petroleum Services Association of Canada estimates 7,915 wells will be drilled in Alberta in 2011, with the number of oil wells increasing 18% and natural gas wells decreasing 5%. Our client base continues to grow due to increased horizontal drilling in the Cardium, Bakken and other oil resource plays. Our operational activity outlook is encouraging. By the end of 2010 Leader will expand its service capabilities by offering a new 2-3/8" coiled tubing unit to assist in longer horizontal wells that are being drilled in areas where our clients are active.
While improved industry conditions will directly benefit the Company through higher utilization rates, Leader will continue to focus on advancing operational efficiencies where possible, and managing its capital in a prudent manner. Management is grateful for the dedication and hard work of Leader's entire workforce; their efforts are reflected in our customers' satisfaction and in our financial performance. The Company is optimistic that results will show continued improvement during the balance of 2010 and into 2011.

Overview
Headquartered out of Calgary, Alberta, Leader's operations are managed from its base in Grande Prairie, Alberta. From this base the Company offers well stimulation services across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB").
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010 the Company recorded a profit from continuing operations before interest, taxes, amortization and stock based compensation ("E(L)BITDAS") of $2.5 million and a net income of $1.1 million as compared to a loss of E(L)BITDAS of $622,000 and a net loss from continuing operations of $2.5 million in the prior year third quarter. The improvement in E(L)BITDAS over the prior year third quarter results is due to increased industry activity levels with a greater concentration of operations on deeper wells. The net income of $1.1 million for the current period was also an improvement over the prior year's third quarter loss of $791,000 predominantly due to an improved E(L)BITDAS in the current period.
As a result of the Company's improved E(L)BITDAS, cash flow from continuing operating activities before changes in non-working capital balances was positive $1.8 million in the 2010 third quarter which was a significant improvement over the prior year's third quarter cash flow from continuing operations of negative $1.3 million. Management continues to take all action possible to further increase its revenues while minimizing or reducing its administrative overhead costs and related operational costs in order to improve its cash flow from continuing operations.
Subsequent to the balance sheet date the Company secured a $3.0 million revolving credit facility from a Canadian chartered bank. The interest rate applicable to funds borrowed is the bank's prime rate plus 2.75% with the borrowing based on funds available as determined in reference to the Company's accounts receivable balance. The loan facility has an expiry date of January 31, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at the end of the third quarter of 2010, the Company held cash of $1.5 million and positive working capital of $3.4 million as compared to $1.0 million and $1.8 million respectively as at December 31, 2009.
The 2010 third quarter cash flow from continuing operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital balances was positive $1.8 million while the cash flow from continuing operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was positive $4.2 million a significant improvement over the 2009 amounts of negative $1.3 million and negative $1.7 million for the respective three and nine month periods.
The improved 2010 cash flows and cash balance were due to increased activity levels and the resulting improvement in income from continuing operations and the effect that the improved operations had on accounts receivable and cash balances.
Management is pleased with the current results of operations and will continue to take action wherever possible to increase the Company's revenues and reduce administrative and operational costs.
Outlook
Leader continues to show much-improved financial results relative to 2009. The Petroleum Services Association of Canada estimates 7,915 wells will be drilled in Alberta in 2011, with the number of oil wells increasing 18% and natural gas wells decreasing 5%. Our client base continues to grow due to increased horizontal drilling in the Cardium, Bakken and other oil resource plays. Our operational activity outlook is encouraging. By the end of 2010 Leader will expand its service capabilities by offering a new 2-3/8" coiled tubing unit to assist in longer horizontal wells that are being drilled in areas where our clients are active.
While improved industry conditions will directly benefit the Company through higher utilization rates, Leader will continue to focus on advancing operational efficiencies where possible, and managing its capital in a prudent manner. Management is grateful for the dedication and hard work of Leader's entire workforce; their efforts are reflected in our customers' satisfaction and in our financial performance. The Company is optimistic that results will show continued improvement during the balance of 2010 and into 2011.

Overview
Headquartered out of Calgary, Alberta, Leader Energy Services Ltd.'s ("Leader" or the "Company") operations are managed from its operations base in Grande Prairie, Alberta. From this base the Company offers well stimulation services across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB").
In the first quarter of 2010 revenues were well above that of the prior year's first quarter and exceeded forecast. In conjunction with the first quarter of the year typically being the most active quarter for the Company, the results from the 2010 first quarter were further improved as a result of the Company focusing its service activities on deeper and horizontal wells requiring larger diameter pipe and continued close management of costs and overhead expenses.
Operating costs totalled $3.9 million during the first quarter of 2010 versus $3.4 million during the comparable period in 2009. Operating costs as a percentage of revenues decreased from 55% in the 2009 first quarter to 47% in the 2010 first quarter. With higher revenues and operating efficiencies resulting in decreased operating expenses as a percentage of revenues, field profit for the first quarter of 2010 showed a significant 57% improvement over the comparable period in 2009.
The Company's net income from continuing operations of $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2010 was a significant improvement over the prior year's first quarter net income from continuing operations of $673,000. This improvement was due to a $1.5 million increase in EBITDAS in the current year first quarter in comparison to the prior year's first quarter. The improvement in EBITDAS was due to higher revenues in the current year first quarter coupled with operating costs as a percentage of revenues decreasing from 55% in the 2009 first quarter to 47% in the 2010 first quarter. The increased revenues and improved operating costs were partially offset by an increase in general and administrative costs.
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $2.2 million with basic and diluted earnings per share being $0.17 and $0.15 respectively. This is a marked improvement over net income of $630,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 where both basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.05.
The Company has yet to secure a credit facility to replace the facility which was paid out in mid 2008. Based on the Company's internal operating cash forecast, if the assumptions in the forecast hold true, access to additional financing does not appear to be necessary. However, given the uncertainty present in the current economic climate the Company will continue to pursue possible credit facility opportunities and hopes to secure a credit facility in the near future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2010 the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 million and positive working capital of $4.2 million as compared to $1.0 million and $ 1.8 million respectively for the December 31, 2009 year ended. For the period ended March 31, 2010 cash flow from continuing operations before changes from non-cash working capital was positive $3.2 million, an improvement of $1.8 million over the previous year's period ended March 31, 2009. The improvement in working capital and cash flow from continuing operations before changes from non-cash working capital can both be attributed to the positive results from operations.
Outlook
Management is pleased with the results of operations and will continue to take action wherever possible to increase the Company's revenues and reduce administrative and operational costs. Although Leader has surpassed internal operational and financial projections year to date, a number of challenges continue to confront the oilfield service industry in western Canada. Recognizing that these challenges exist, the Company remains cautiously optimistic with respect to operating results for the balance of the year. Demand for Leader's services has shown an increase relative to last year at this time. The Company believes that demand for its services will continue to strengthen during 2010.

Overview
Headquartered out of Calgary, Alberta, Leader's operations are managed from its base in Grande Prairie, Alberta. From this base the Company offers well stimulation services across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB").
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010 the Company recorded a profit from continuing operations before interest, taxes, amortization and stock based compensation ("E(L)BITDAS") of $2.5 million and a net income of $1.1 million as compared to a loss of E(L)BITDAS of $622,000 and a net loss from continuing operations of $2.5 million in the prior year third quarter. The improvement in E(L)BITDAS over the prior year third quarter results is due to increased industry activity levels with a greater concentration of operations on deeper wells. The net income of $1.1 million for the current period was also an improvement over the prior year's third quarter loss of $791,000 predominantly due to an improved E(L)BITDAS in the current period.
As a result of the Company's improved E(L)BITDAS, cash flow from continuing operating activities before changes in non-working capital balances was positive $1.8 million in the 2010 third quarter which was a significant improvement over the prior year's third quarter cash flow from continuing operations of negative $1.3 million. Management continues to take all action possible to further increase its revenues while minimizing or reducing its administrative overhead costs and related operational costs in order to improve its cash flow from continuing operations.
Subsequent to the balance sheet date the Company secured a $3.0 million revolving credit facility from a Canadian chartered bank. The interest rate applicable to funds borrowed is the bank's prime rate plus 2.75% with the borrowing based on funds available as determined in reference to the Company's accounts receivable balance. The loan facility has an expiry date of January 31, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at the end of the third quarter of 2010, the Company held cash of $1.5 million and positive working capital of $3.4 million as compared to $1.0 million and $1.8 million respectively as at December 31, 2009.
The 2010 third quarter cash flow from continuing operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital balances was positive $1.8 million while the cash flow from continuing operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was positive $4.2 million a significant improvement over the 2009 amounts of negative $1.3 million and negative $1.7 million for the respective three and nine month periods.
The improved 2010 cash flows and cash balance were due to increased activity levels and the resulting improvement in income from continuing operations and the effect that the improved operations had on accounts receivable and cash balances.
Management is pleased with the current results of operations and will continue to take action wherever possible to increase the Company's revenues and reduce administrative and operational costs.
Outlook
Leader continues to show much-improved financial results relative to 2009. The Petroleum Services Association of Canada estimates 7,915 wells will be drilled in Alberta in 2011, with the number of oil wells increasing 18% and natural gas wells decreasing 5%. Our client base continues to grow due to increased horizontal drilling in the Cardium, Bakken and other oil resource plays. Our operational activity outlook is encouraging. By the end of 2010 Leader will expand its service capabilities by offering a new 2-3/8" coiled tubing unit to assist in longer horizontal wells that are being drilled in areas where our clients are active.
While improved industry conditions will directly benefit the Company through higher utilization rates, Leader will continue to focus on advancing operational efficiencies where possible, and managing its capital in a prudent manner. Management is grateful for the dedication and hard work of Leader's entire workforce; their efforts are reflected in our customers' satisfaction and in our financial performance. The Company is optimistic that results will show continued improvement during the balance of 2010 and into 2011.

(i) E(L)BITDAS is defined herein as earnings (loss) from continuing
operations before interest, taxes, amortization, and stock based
compensation. Readers are cautioned that E(L)BITDAS is generally
regarded as an indirect measure of operating cash flow, and, as such,
the Company believes it is a significant indicator of success of public
companies, and is particularly relevant to readers within the
investment community. E(L)BITDAS is not a measure that has a
standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP, and accordingly may

Overview
For the quarter ended June 30, 2010 the Company recorded a Loss from Continuing Operations before Interest, Taxes, Amortization and Stock Based Compensation ("LBITDA") of $380,000 and a net loss of $1.4 million as compared to a LBITDA of $1.2 million and a net loss of $2.2 million in the prior year second quarter. The improvement in LBITDA over the prior year second quarter results is due to increased industry activity levels and operations in the current quarter consisting of a favourable sales mix with a greater concentration of operations on deeper wells. The net loss of $1.4 million ($0.11 per share) for the current period was also an improvement over the prior year's second quarter loss of $2.2 million ($0.16 per share) predominantly due to a reduced LBITDA in the current period and other income of $200,000 due to the settlement of a lawsuit in the current year second quarter.
Although the Company reduced both its LBITDA and its net loss in comparison to the prior year's second quarter, cash flow from continuing operating activities before changes in non-working capital balances was negative $835,000 in the 2010 second quarter. However, this was a significant improvement over the prior year's second quarter cash flow from continuing operations of negative $1.8 million. Management is continuing to take all action possible to further increase its revenues while minimizing or reducing its administrative overhead costs and related operational costs.

Field profit(i) 4,902 2,438 2,464 101%
(i) Field profit (loss) is a measure not recognized under Canadian GAAP.
Management believes that field profit provides investors with an
indication of earnings before administrative costs, depreciation,
interest, and taxes. Readers are cautioned that field profit should
not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in
accordance with Canadian GAAP as an indicator of the Company's
performance.
Revenues at $3.2 million increased by $1.9 million or 134% over the comparable 2009 second quarter due to activity levels in the current year second quarter improving over the second quarter of the prior year and with the Company focusing its operations on larger diameter coil work on deeper wells. Revenues in the first six months of 2010 also exceeded revenues generated in the prior year second quarter due to improved activity levels and a more favourable sales mix.
Operating costs as a percentage of sales declined in the second quarter of 2010 and for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the prior year due to the higher current year revenue levels which resulted in operational efficiencies, and as a result of ongoing cost control efforts. Efficiencies have also been accomplished by focusing field activities on higher margin work.
Outlook
Leader continues to show improved financial results relative to 2009. A number of industry analysts have increased their well count predictions and industry outlook. While improved industry conditions will directly benefit the Company through increased utilization rates, Leader will continue to focus on improving operational efficiencies where possible, and managing its capital in a prudent manner. The Company is optimistic that results will show continued improvement during the balance of 2010 and into 2011. See discussion above in the Financial Instruments and Business Risks section for a summary of certain factors influencing industry conditions.

Overview
Headquartered out of Calgary, Alberta, Leader Energy Services Ltd.'s ("Leader" or the "Company") operations are managed from its operations base in Grande Prairie, Alberta. From this base the Company offers well stimulation services across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB").
In the first quarter of 2010 revenues were well above that of the prior year's first quarter and exceeded forecast. In conjunction with the first quarter of the year typically being the most active quarter for the Company, the results from the 2010 first quarter were further improved as a result of the Company focusing its service activities on deeper and horizontal wells requiring larger diameter pipe and continued close management of costs and overhead expenses.
Operating costs totalled $3.9 million during the first quarter of 2010 versus $3.4 million during the comparable period in 2009. Operating costs as a percentage of revenues decreased from 55% in the 2009 first quarter to 47% in the 2010 first quarter. With higher revenues and operating efficiencies resulting in decreased operating expenses as a percentage of revenues, field profit for the first quarter of 2010 showed a significant 57% improvement over the comparable period in 2009.
The Company's net income from continuing operations of $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2010 was a significant improvement over the prior year's first quarter net income from continuing operations of $673,000. This improvement was due to a $1.5 million increase in EBITDAS in the current year first quarter in comparison to the prior year's first quarter. The improvement in EBITDAS was due to higher revenues in the current year first quarter coupled with operating costs as a percentage of revenues decreasing from 55% in the 2009 first quarter to 47% in the 2010 first quarter. The increased revenues and improved operating costs were partially offset by an increase in general and administrative costs.
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $2.2 million with basic and diluted earnings per share being $0.17 and $0.15 respectively. This is a marked improvement over net income of $630,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 where both basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.05.
The Company has yet to secure a credit facility to replace the facility which was paid out in mid 2008. Based on the Company's internal operating cash forecast, if the assumptions in the forecast hold true, access to additional financing does not appear to be necessary. However, given the uncertainty present in the current economic climate the Company will continue to pursue possible credit facility opportunities and hopes to secure a credit facility in the near future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2010 the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 million and positive working capital of $4.2 million as compared to $1.0 million and $ 1.8 million respectively for the December 31, 2009 year ended. For the period ended March 31, 2010 cash flow from continuing operations before changes from non-cash working capital was positive $3.2 million, an improvement of $1.8 million over the previous year's period ended March 31, 2009. The improvement in working capital and cash flow from continuing operations before changes from non-cash working capital can both be attributed to the positive results from operations.
Outlook
Management is pleased with the results of operations and will continue to take action wherever possible to increase the Company's revenues and reduce administrative and operational costs. Although Leader has surpassed internal operational and financial projections year to date, a number of challenges continue to confront the oilfield service industry in western Canada. Recognizing that these challenges exist, the Company remains cautiously optimistic with respect to operating results for the balance of the year. Demand for Leader's services has shown an increase relative to last year at this time. The Company believes that demand for its services will continue to strengthen during 2010.
