(1)	The information for the periods presented may not be comparable because of our acquisition of SCS in January 2005. For additional information regarding this acquisition, you should read the information under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Transactions with Selling Stockholders and Other Related Parties — Acquisition of Screw Compression Systems, Inc.” in this prospectus.
(2)	Total other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2004 includes $1.5 million in life insurance proceeds paid to us upon the death of our former Chief Executive Officer.
(3)	On March 31, 2000, we disposed of a former subsidiary, CNG Engine Co., or “CNG,” through a transfer of all of the common stock of CNG to the former owner of CNG in exchange for 692,368 shares of common stock of Natural Gas Services Group held by the former owner and a promissory note from the former owner in the amount of $350,000. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the former owner defaulted on all payments due to us under the note, and the entire amount was reserved and reflected as a reduction in the gain from discontinued operations.
(4)	“EBITDA” is a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings (net income) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. This term, as used and defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because:

	•	it is widely used by investors in the energy industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of EBITDA, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;
	•	it helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure and asset base from our operating structure; and
	•	it is used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to our Board of Directors, as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting, and as a component for setting incentive compensation.

	There are material limitations to using EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the impact of certain recurring items that materially affect our net income or loss, and the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies. The following table reconciles EBITDA to our net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

	•	the increasing demand for and limited supply of energy, both domestically and abroad;
	•	continued non-conventional gas exploration and production;
	•	environmental considerations which provide strong incentives to use natural gas in place of other carbon fuels;
	•	the cost savings of using natural gas rather than electricity for heat generation;
	•	implementation of international environmental and conservation laws;
	•	the aging of producing natural gas reserves worldwide; and
	•	the extensive supply of undeveloped natural gas reserves.

	•	Compression fabrication. Fabrication involves the assembly of compressor components manufactured by us or other third parties into compressor units that are ready for rental or sale. In addition

Table of Contents

		to fabricating compressors for our rental fleet, we engineer and fabricate natural gas compressors for sale to customers to meet their specifications based on well pressure, production characteristics and the particular applications for which compression is sought.
	•	Compressor manufacturing. We design and manufacture our own proprietary line of reciprocating compressor frames, cylinders and parts known as our “CiP”, or Cylinder-in-Plane, product line. We use the finished components to fabricate compressor units for our rental fleet or for sale to third parties. We also sell finished components to other fabricators.
	•	Flare fabrication. We design, fabricate, sell, install and service flare stacks and related ignition and control devices for the onshore and offshore incineration of gas compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, natural gas and liquefied petroleum gases. Applications for this equipment are often environmentally and regulatory driven, and we believe we are a leading supplier to this market.
	•	Parts sales and compressor rebuilds. To provide customer support for our compressor and flare sales businesses, we stock varying levels of replacement parts at our Midland, Texas facility and at field service locations. We also provide an exchange and rebuild program for screw compressors and maintain an inventory of new and used compressors to facilitate this part of our business.

	•	Expand rental fleet. With a portion of the proceeds from this offering and using the additional fabrication capacity gained with the SCS acquisition, we intend to increase our market share by expanding our rental fleet 30% to 40% by the end of 2006. We believe our growth will continue to be primarily driven through our placement of small to medium horsepower wellhead natural gas compressors for non-conventional natural gas production, which is the single largest and fastest growing segment of U.S. natural gas production business according to data from the Energy Information Administration. As of December 31, 2005, we had 820 natural gas compressors rented to third parties.
	•	Operational expansion. With the planned increase in our rental fleet, we intend to expand our operations in existing areas, as well as pursue focused expansion into new geographic regions. We have recently entered new markets in Appalachia and the Rocky Mountains.
	•	Expand CiP (Cylinder-in-Plane) product line. The CiP, or Cylinder-in-Plane, is our proprietary reciprocating compressor product line. This product line has allowed us to expand our compressor rentals and sales into higher pressure natural gas gathering and transmission lines. We intend to establish new distributorship relationships and after-market sales and services networks.
	•	Selectively pursue acquisitions. We intend to evaluate potential acquisitions that would provide us with access to new markets or enhance our current market position.

	•	Superior customer service. Our emphasis on the small to medium horsepower markets has enabled us to effectively meet the evolving needs of our customers. We believe these markets have been under-serviced by our larger competitors which, coupled with our personalized services and in-depth knowledge of our customers’ operating needs and growth plans, have allowed us to enhance our relationships with existing customers as well as attract new customers. The size, type and geographic diversity of our rental fleet enables us to provide customers with a range of compression units that can serve a wide variety of applications. We are able to select the correct equipment for the job, rather than the customer trying to fit its application to our equipment.
	•	Diversified product line. Our compressors are available as high and low pressure rotary screw and reciprocating packages. They are designed to meet a number of applications, including wellhead production, natural gas gathering, natural gas transmission, vapor recovery and gas and plunger lift. In addition, our compressors can be built to handle a variety of gas mixtures, including air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and hydrocarbon gases. A diversified product line helps us compete by being able to satisfy widely varying pressure, volume and production conditions that customers encounter.
	•	Purpose built rental compressors. Our rental compressor packages have been designed and built to address the primary requirements of our customers in the producing regions in which we operate. Our units are compact in design and are easy, quick and inexpensive to move, install and start-up. Our control systems are technically advanced and allow the operator to start and stop our units remotely and/or in accordance with well conditions. We believe our rental fleet is also one of the newest with an average age of less than three years old.
	•	Experienced management team. On average, our executive and operating management team has over 20 years of oilfield services industry experience. We believe our management team has successfully demonstrated its ability to grow our business both organically and through selective acquisitions.
	•	Broad geographic presence. We presently provide our products and services to a customer base of oil and natural gas exploration and production companies operating in New Mexico, Texas, Michigan, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kansas. Our footprint allows us to service many of the natural gas producing regions in the United States. We believe that operating in diverse geographic regions allows us better utilization of our compressors, minimal incremental expenses, operating synergies, volume-based purchasing, leveraged inventories and cross-trained personnel.
	•	Long-standing customer relationships. We have developed long-standing relationships providing compression equipment to many major and independent oil and natural gas companies. Our customers generally continue to rent our compressors after the expiration of the initial terms of our rental agreements, which we believe reflects their satisfaction with the reliability and performance of our services and products.
