CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS Not applicable. C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS Not applicable. D. RISK FACTORS An investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following risk factors, as well as the otherinformation contained in this Annual Report, before making an investment in our ordinary shares. Any of the risk factors described below could significantly andnegatively affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, these risks represent important factors that can cause our actual results todiffer materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements. Risks Relating to Our Business and Operations Trends in oil and natural gas prices affect the level of exploration, development, and production activity of our customers and the demand for our services andproducts, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition. Demand for our services and products is sensitive to the level of exploration, development, and production activity of, and the corresponding capital spendingby, oil and natural gas companies. The level of exploration, development, and production activity is directly affected by trends in oil and natural gas prices, whichhistorically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile. Prices for oil and natural gas are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minorchanges in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, market uncertainty, and a variety of other economic factors that are beyond our control. During the 5-year period ended December 31, 2019, average prices for both crude oil and natural gas have been lower than the previous 5-year period. The prolonged reductionin oil and natural gas prices, depressed levels of exploration, development, and production activity over the past several years and incremental further reductionscould have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition. Even the perception of longer-termlower oil and natural gas prices by oil and natural gas companies can result in the reduction or deferral of major expenditures given the long-term nature of manylarge-scale development projects. Factors affecting the prices of oil and natural gas include: ●the global and regional level of supply and demand for oil and natural gas including liquefied natural gas imports and exports; ●governmental regulations, including the policies of governments regarding the exploration for and production and development of their oil and natural gasreserves, including environmental regulations; ●weather conditions, natural disasters, and public health crises and threats, such as coronavirus (COVID-19); ●worldwide political, military, and economic conditions; ●the ability or willingness of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) to set and maintain oil production levels and quotas andmember country compliance with quotas; ●the level of oil and gas production by non-OPEC countries; ●oil refining capacity and shifts in end-customer preferences toward fuel efficiency and the use of natural gas; 9 ●the cost of producing and delivering oil and natural gas; ●technological advances affecting energy consumption; and ●potential acceleration of the development of alternative fuels. Public health crises and threats could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Public health crises and threats, such as coronavirus (COVID-19) and other highly communicable viruses or diseases, outbreaks of which have alreadyoccurred in various parts of the world, could adversely impact our operations and personnel, the operations and personnel of our customers and the globaleconomy, including the worldwide demand for oil and gas and the level of demand for our services. The quarantine of personnel or the inability or unwillingness ofpersonnel to access our job sites could adversely affect our operations. We participate in a global supply chain, which includes equipment and materials that maybe sourced from affected parts of the world. A prolonged disruption caused by such public health crises and threats could result in the delay of equipment andmaterials that may impact our ability to reliably serve our customers. Travel restrictions or operational problems in any part of the world in which we operate, orany reduction in the demand for services caused by public health crises and threats in the future, may materially impact our operations and have an adverse effecton our results of operations. Impairment in the carrying value of goodwill could result in the incurrence of impairment charges. As of December 31, 2019, we had goodwill of $574.8 million. We review the carrying value of our goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently ifcertain indicators are present. In the event we determine that the value of goodwill has become impaired, an accounting charge for the amount of the impairmentduring the period in which the determination is made may be recognized. While we have not recorded any impairment charge for goodwill for the periodspresented in this Annual Report, future changes in our business and operations or external market conditions, among other factors, could require us to record animpairment charge for goodwill, which could lead to decreased assets and reduced net income. If a significant write down were required, the charge could have amaterial adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We operate in multiple countries across the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia. Therefore, our operations will be subject to political and economicinstability and risk of government actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, and consolidatedfinancial condition. We will be exposed to risks inherent in doing business in each of the countries in which we operate. Our operations will be subject to various risks unique toeach country that could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition. With respect to anyparticular country, these risks may include but are not limited to: ●civil unrest, acts of terrorism, force majeure, war, other armed conflict, and sanctions; ●recent efforts toward modernization in the region could have unanticipated consequences to cause unrest or political change that could cause loss ofcontracts; ●inflation; ●currency fluctuations, devaluations, and conversion restrictions; ●government actions that may result in expropriation and nationalization of assets in that country; ●confiscatory taxation or other adverse tax policies; ●actions that limit or disrupt markets or our operations, restrict payments, limit the movement of funds or result in the deprivation of contract rights; ●actions that result in the inability to obtain or retain licenses required for operation; and ●retaliatory actions that may be taken by one country against other countries in the region. For example, due to the unsettled political conditions in many oil-producing countries, our operations, revenue, and profits will be subject to the adverseconsequences of war, the effects of terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, currency controls, and governmental actions. These and other risks described above could resultin the loss of our personnel or assets, cause us to evacuate our personnel from certain countries, cause us to increase spending on security, cause us to ceaseoperating in certain countries, disrupt financial and commercial markets, including the supply of and pricing for oil and natural gas, disrupt the supply ofequipment required to operate in a country, result in labor shortages and generate greater political and economic instability in some of the geographic areas inwhich we operate. Any possible reprisals as a consequence of military or other action, such as acts of terrorism in the United States or elsewhere, could have amaterial adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition. 10 Physical dangers are inherent in our operations and may expose us to significant potential losses. Personnel and property may be harmed during the processof drilling for oil and natural gas. Drilling for and producing hydrocarbons, and the associated products and services that we provide, include inherent dangers that may lead to property damageor damage to geological formations, personal injury or loss of life, or the discharge of hazardous materials into the environment. Many of these events are outsideour control. Typically, we provide products and services at a well site where our personnel and equipment are located together with personnel and equipment ofour customer and third parties, such as other service providers. At many sites, we depend on other companies and personnel to conduct drilling operations inaccordance with appropriate safety standards. From time to time, personnel are injured or equipment or property is damaged or destroyed as a result of accidents,failed equipment, faulty products or services, failure of safety measures, uncontained formation pressures or other dangers inherent in drilling for oil and naturalgas. Any of these events can be the result of human error. With increasing frequency, our products and services are deployed on more challenging prospects bothonshore and offshore, where the occurrence of the types of events mentioned above can have an even more catastrophic impact on people, equipment and theenvironment. These risks could expose us to substantial liability for personal injury, wrongful death, property damage, loss of oil and natural gas production,pollution and other environmental damages and could expose us to a variety of claims, losses and remedial obligations. We may not be fully indemnified against financial losses in all circumstances where damage to or loss of property, personal injury, death or environmentalharm occur. As is customary in our industry, our contracts typically require that our customers indemnify us for claims arising from the injury or death of their employees(and those of their other contractors), the loss or damage of their equipment (and that of their other contractors), damage to the well or reservoir and pollutionoriginating from the customer’s equipment or from the reservoir (including uncontained oil flow from a reservoir) and claims arising from catastrophic events,such as a well blowout, fire, explosion and from pollution below the surface. Conversely, we typically indemnify our customers for claims arising from the injuryor death of our employees, the loss or damage of our equipment (other than equipment lost in the hole) or pollution originating from our equipment above thesurface of the earth or water. Our indemnification arrangements may not protect us in every case. For example, from time to time we may enter into contracts with less favorableindemnities or perform work without a contract that protects us. Our indemnity arrangements may also be held to be overly broad in some courts and/or contrary topublic policy in some jurisdictions, and to that extent unenforceable. Additionally, some jurisdictions which permit indemnification nonetheless limit its scope bystatute. We may be subject to claims brought by third parties or government agencies with respect to which we are not indemnified. Furthermore, the parties fromwhich we seek indemnity may not be solvent, may become bankrupt, may lack resources or insurance to honor their indemnities or may not otherwise be able tosatisfy their indemnity obligations to us. The lack of enforceable indemnification could expose us to significant potential losses. Further, our assets generally are not insured against loss from political violence such as war, terrorism or civil commotion. If any of our assets are damaged ordestroyed as a result of an uninsured cause, we could recognize a loss of those assets. We operate in multiple countries and earn revenue in different currencies and as such may be exposed to risks arising from fluctuating exchange rates andcurrency control restrictions, which may limit our ability to reinvest earnings from operations in one country to fund the capital needs of our operations inother countries or to repatriate assets from some countries. A portion of our consolidated revenue and consolidated operating expenses is in foreign currencies. As a result, we will be subject to significant risks,including: ●foreign currency exchange risks resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the implementation of exchange controls; and ●potential limitations that might be imposed on their ability to reinvest earnings from operations in one country to fund the capital needs of ouroperations in other countries. 11 Changes in or new interpretations of tax laws and currency/repatriation controls could impact the determination of our income tax liabilities for a tax year. We have operations in 15 countries. Consequently, we are subject to the jurisdiction of a significant number of taxing authorities. The income earned in thesevarious jurisdictions is taxed on differing bases, including income actually earned, income deemed earned, and revenue-based tax withholding. The finaldetermination of our income tax liabilities involves the interpretation of local tax laws, tax treaties, and related authorities in each jurisdiction, as well as thesignificant use of estimates and assumptions regarding the scope of future operations and results achieved and the timing and nature of income earned andexpenditures incurred. Changes in the operating environment, including changes in or new interpretations of tax law and currency/repatriation controls, couldimpact the determination of our income tax liabilities for the year. Effective January 1, 2018, the GCC countries agreed to impose a value added tax (“VAT”) at a standard rate of 5% across the GCC. However, some goodsand services are exempt from the charge of VAT or taxed at a rate of zero percent. Businesses subject to the VAT must keep detailed financial and businessrecords. This includes collecting invoices and accounting for the goods or services bought and sold, as well as the VAT paid and charged going forward. A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting has been identified. If the material weakness persists or if we fail to develop or maintainan effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud, which could have a material adverseeffect on our business, ordinary shares, results of operations and/or financial condition.Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable and accurate financial statements and to effectively prevent fraud. As described in Item 15,“Controls and Procedures,” we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2019 due to a material weaknessin our internal control over financial reporting associated with accounting for certain income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We are designing,implementing, and evaluating measures designed to remediate the material weakness. However, we cannot be certain that these measures will be successful or thatwe will be able to prevent future material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Lack of consolidation in a taxpaying jurisdiction prevents offsetting some losses against taxable profits. NESR is a British Virgin Islands corporation. NESR is not taxed by the British Virgin Islands on income generated outside of the British Virgin Islands. As aresult of our legal entity structure, annual losses in one of our subsidiaries may not be eligible to be offset against profits in another subsidiary to reduceconsolidated tax liabilities. The owners of NESR ordinary shares are subject to tax risks due to the possibility of changes in tax rules and regulations in foreign countries. The British Virgin Islands does not impose income taxes on British Virgin Islands companies for dividends received or subsidiary operating profits generatedoutside of the British Virgin Islands. The law could change to impose such taxes. In addition, our subsidiaries operate in many countries that have different taxrates and systems which may change including jurisdictions that currently do not impose tax on corporations. U.S. shareholders must report on their tax returns allinvestments in foreign stocks, including ordinary shares. Our business is dependent on capital spending by our customers, and reductions in capital spending could have a material adverse effect on our business,consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition. Our business is directly affected by changes in capital expenditures by our customers and reductions in our customers’ capital spending could reduce demandfor our services and products and have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition. Most ofour contracts can be cancelled or renegotiated by our customers at any time. Some of the items that may impact our customer’s capital spending include: ●oil and natural gas prices, including volatility of oil and natural gas prices and expectations regarding future prices; ●changes in government incentives and tax regimes; 12 ●the inability of our customers to access capital on economically favorable terms; ●the consolidation of our customers; ●customer personnel changes; and ●adverse developments in the business or operations of our customers, including write-downs of reserves and borrowing base reductions undercustomer credit facilities. As a result of the decrease in commodity prices, many of our customers have reduced capital spending over the last few years. The short-term tenor of most ofour contracts and the extreme financial stress experienced by our customers have combined to generate demands by many of our customers for reductions in theprices of our products and services. With respect to national oil company customers, we are also subject to risk of policy, regime, currency and budgetary changes,all of which may affect our customers’ capital expenditures. Commodity prices are expected to remain range bound, with limited prospects for rising prices andcontinued risk of further reductions, which may result in further capital budget reductions in the future. Our assets require capital for maintenance, upgrades and refurbishment and we may require significant capital expenditures for new equipment. Our revenue is generated principally from providing services and related equipment as well as renting tools and equipment. Our tools and equipment requirecapital investment in maintenance, upgrades and refurbishment to maintain our competitiveness. To the extent we are unable to fund such projects, we may haveless equipment available for service or our equipment may not be attractive to potential or current customers. Additionally, increased demand, competition oradvances in technology within our industry may require us to update or replace existing equipment. Such demands on our capital or reductions in demand for ourequipment and the increase in cost to maintain labor necessary for such maintenance and improvement, in each case, could have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations. If our Subsidiaries are unable to comply with the restrictions and covenants in their debt agreements, they could default under the terms of such agreements,which could result in an acceleration of repayment. If our Subsidiaries are unable to comply with the restrictions and covenants in their debt agreements, they could default under the terms of these agreements.Our Subsidiaries’ ability to comply with these restrictions and covenants, including meeting financial ratios and tests, may be affected by events beyond theircontrol. As a result, we cannot assure that our Subsidiaries will be able to comply with these restrictions and covenants or meet such financial ratios and tests. If our Subsidiaries are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal,premium (if any), and interest on their indebtedness, or if they otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants inthe instruments governing their indebtedness they could default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such a default, theholders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, the lendersunder our Subsidiaries’ debt agreements could terminate their commitments to lend, cease making further loans, seize collateral and institute foreclosureproceedings against their assets, and our Subsidiaries could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. If any of these events occur, the assets of our Subsidiariesmight not be sufficient to repay in full all of their outstanding indebtedness and we may be unable to find alternative financing. Even if we could obtain alternativefinancing, it might not be on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us or our Subsidiaries. Additionally, we may not be able to amend their debt agreements orobtain needed waivers on satisfactory terms. 13 To service our indebtedness, we may require a significant amount of cash, and our ability to generate cash will depend on many factors beyond our control. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our Subsidiaries’ indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures depends in part on our ability togenerate cash in the future. Our growth and capital expenditure plan require substantial capital, and any inability to obtain such capital could lead to a decline inour ability to sustain our current business, access new service markets or grow our business. Our Subsidiaries’ debt is required to be repaid through an installmentstructure that may unduly strain our ability to meet our growth objectives. Our ability to service such indebtedness is, to a certain extent, subject to generaleconomic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot provide assurance that we will generate sufficientcash flow from operations, that we will realize operating improvements on schedule, or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient toenable us to service and repay our Subsidiaries’ indebtedness or to fund their other liquidity needs. If we are unable to satisfy our Subsidiaries’ debt obligations, wemay have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as: ●refinancing or restructuring their debt; ●selling assets; ●reducing or delaying capital investments; or ●seeking to raise additional capital. Collection of receivables from work performed may not be sufficient to fund working capital needs. We have arranged financing in anticipation of ourprojected cash requirements, but events beyond our control could cause cash collection to be less than projected and cause us not to meet our Subsidiaries’ debtobligations. We cannot provide assurance that any additional refinancing or debt restructuring would be possible, that any assets could be sold or that, if sold, the timing ofthe sales and the amount of proceeds realized from those sales would be favorable to us or that additional financing could be obtained on acceptable terms. Ourinability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy the debt obligations, or to obtain alternative financing, could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Our borrowings under our various loan agreements and other financing arrangements expose us to interest rate risk and such arrangements also includerestrictive covenants that may impact their ability to make distributions to us. Our earnings are exposed to interest rate risk associated with $383.5 million in borrowings under our various loan agreements and other financingarrangements as of December 31, 2019. Each of these arrangements requires the payment of floating interest rates based upon short-term interest rate indices. Ifinterest rates increase, so will our interest costs, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, theterms of these financing arrangements, including the restrictive covenants therein, may restrict our ability to make distributions to us, which could materiallyadversely affect our liquidity and financial condition. The geographic concentration of our customers exposes us to the risks of the regional economy and other regional adverse conditions. The credit risks of ourconcentrated customer base in the energy industry could result in losses. In addition, we depend on a small number of customers for a significant portion ofour revenues. Therefore, the loss of these customers could result in a decline in our revenues and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operationsor cash flows. Our primary customers are in the Middle East and North Africa and all are in the energy industry. Among our customers are national oil companies (“NOCs”).Given the importance of national oil companies, which dominate the petroleum industry in our countries of operation, our business is more susceptible to regionaleconomic, budgetary and political conditions than other, more geographically diversified competitors. Any changes in market conditions, unforeseencircumstances, or other events affecting the area in which our assets are located could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating result, and financialcondition. As of December 31, 2019, we had 27 contracts with two major customers in the region which generated 61% of our revenue. Furthermore, during the yearsended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, a substantial portion of both legacy organization revenues came from those two major customers. Given the terms ofour customer contracts, there remains a risk of termination of one or more of such contracts and/or a lack of engagement in the same manner, or to the same level,as has been the case historically. The loss of all or even a portion of the business from a major customer, the failure to extend or replace the contracts with themajor customer, or the extension or replacement of such contracts on less favorable terms, as a result of competition or otherwise, could adversely affect ourfinancial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We have more than 46 contracts with five major customers in the region which generate more than 69% of our revenue. The loss of all or even a portion of thebusiness from these key customers, the failure to extend or replace the contracts with these key customers, or the extension or replacement of such contracts on lessfavorable terms, as a result of competition or otherwise, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. We are exposed to the credit risk of our customers and counterparties, and a general increase in the delay or nonpayment and nonperformance by ourcustomers could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We are subject to risks of loss resulting from non-payment or non-performance by our customers and other counterparties. Customers may also delaypayments by imposing complex administrative processes, by disputing or rejecting invoices, or through other means. Any increase in the non-payment and non-performance by our customers could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Additionally, equity values for many of ourcustomers continue to be low. The combination of a reduction of cash flow resulting from lower commodity prices, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities, and the lack of availability of debt or equity financing may result in a significant reduction in the liquidity of our customers and their abilityto make payment or perform on their obligations to us. Furthermore, some of our customers may be leveraged and subject to their own operating and regulatoryrisks, which increases the risk that they may default on their obligations to us. 14 Actions of and disputes with any of our joint venture partners could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations of our jointventures and, in turn, our business and consolidated results of operations. We may conduct some operations through joint ventures, where control may be shared with unaffiliated third parties. As with any joint venture arrangement,differences in views among the joint venture participants may result in delayed decisions or in failures to agree on major issues. We also cannot control the actionsof our joint venture partners, including any non-performance, default, or bankruptcy of our joint venture partners. These factors could have a material adverseeffect on the business and results of operations of our joint ventures and, in turn, our business and consolidated results of operations. If we are unable to keep pace with technology developments in the industry, this could adversely affect our ability to maintain or grow market share. The oilfield service industry is subject to the introduction of new drilling and completion techniques and services using new technologies, some of which maybe subject to patent or other intellectual property protections. We intend to introduce and integrate new technologies and procedures used by North American andEuropean based oilfield service companies; however, we cannot be certain that we will be able to develop and implement new technologies or services on a timelybasis or at an acceptable cost. The oilfield service industry is highly competitive and dominated by a few large players that have resources to invest in newtechnologies. Our ability to continually provide competitive technology and services can impact our ability to maintain or increase prices for our services, maintainmarket share, and negotiate acceptable contract terms with our customers. If we are unable to continue to acquire or develop competitive technology or deliver it toour clients in a timely and cost-competitive manner in the various markets we serve, it could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, andcash flows. Limitations on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, including our trade secrets, could cause a loss in revenue and any competitive advantage. Some of our products or services, and the processes they use to produce or provide products and services, constitute trade secrets and confidential know how.We may lose employees who have important trade secrets and who may not be prohibited in the relevant countries from using such trade secrets to compete. Ourbusiness may be adversely affected if any acquired patents are unenforceable, the claims allowed under their patents are not sufficient to protect our technology,our patent applications are denied, or our trade secrets are not adequately protected. In addition, our competitors may be able to independently develop technologythat is similar to the technology used by us without infringing on our patents or gaining access to our trade secrets, which could adversely affect our financialcondition, results of operations, and cash flows. We may be subject to litigation if another party claims that we have infringed upon such third party’s intellectual property rights. The tools, techniques, methodologies, programs and components that we use to provide our services may infringe upon the intellectual property rights ofothers. Infringement claims generally result in significant legal and other costs and may distract our management from running our core business. Royaltypayments under licenses from third parties, if available, and developing non-infringing technologies would increase our costs. If a license were required and notavailable, we might not be able to continue providing a particular service or product, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, andcash flows. Environmental compliance costs and liabilities could reduce our earnings and cash available for operations. We are subject to increasingly stringent laws and regulations relating to the importation and use of hazardous materials, radioactive materials, chemicals andexplosives, and to environmental protection and health and safety, including laws and regulations governing air emissions, hydraulic fracturing, water and otherdischarges and waste management. We expect to incur capital and operating costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations. The technical requirementsof these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly complex, stringent and expensive to implement. Our operations use and generate hazardous substances and wastes. Accordingly, we could become subject to material liabilities relating to the investigationand cleanup of potentially contaminated properties, and to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as the result of exposures to, or releases of,hazardous substances or wastes. Applicable laws may provide for “strict liability” for remediation costs, damages to natural resources or threats to public healthand safety. Strict liability can render a party liable for damages without regard to negligence or fault on the part of the party. Some environmental laws provide forjoint and several liabilities for remediation of spills and releases of hazardous substances and wastes. Joint and several liability can render one party liable for alldamages arising from a spill or release even if other parties also contributed to the spill or release. 15 In addition, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, new laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or theimposition of new or increased requirements could require us to incur costs, become the basis for new or increased liabilities, subject us to certain government-imposed penalties or result in certain licenses being revoked. Any of these developments could reduce our earnings and cash available for operations or otherwiseresult in interruptions or delays in our operations that could have an adverse effect on our financial position. We could be subject to substantial liability claims, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The technical complexities of our operations expose us to a wide range of significant health, safety and environmental risks. Our products and serviceofferings involve production-related activities, radioactive materials, chemicals, explosives, and other equipment and services that are deployed in challengingexploration, development, and production environments. An accident involving these services or equipment, or a failure of a product, could cause personal injury,loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, equipment or the environment, or suspension of operations. Our insurance may not protect us against liability forcertain kinds of events, including events involving pollution, or against losses resulting from business interruption. Moreover, we may not be able to maintaininsurance for certain risks or at levels of risk coverage or policy limits that we deem adequate. Any damages caused by our services or products that are notcovered by insurance or are in excess of policy limits or subject to substantial deductibles, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, andcash flows. Demand for our products and services could be reduced by existing and future legislation or regulations. Environmental advocacy groups and regulatory agencies in the United States and other countries have been focusing considerable attention on the emissionsof carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gasses and their role in climate change. Existing or future legislation and regulations related to greenhouse gasemissions and climate change, as well as government initiatives to conserve energy or promote the use of alternative energy sources, may significantly curtaildemand and production of fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas in areas of the world where our customers operate and thus adversely affect future demand for ourservices. Additionally, scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gasses in the earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes thathave significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other adverse climatic events. If any such effectswere to occur, they could result in damage to our equipment and our clients’ facilities, and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results ofoperations. Some international, national and local governments and agencies have also adopted laws and regulations or are evaluating proposed legislation and regulationsthat are focused on the extraction of shale gas or oil using hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing is a stimulation treatment routinely performed on oil and gaswells in low-permeability reservoirs. Specially engineered fluids with proppants are pumped at high pressure and rate into the reservoir interval to be treated,causing cracks in the target formation. Future hydraulic fracturing-related legislation or regulations could limit or ban hydraulic fracturing, or lead to operationaldelays and increased costs, including for the capture of fugitive methane emissions, and therefore reduce demand for our pressure pumping services. If suchadditional international, national, or local legislation or regulations are enacted, it could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cashflows. Some of our customers may require bids for contracts in the form of long-term, fixed pricing contracts that may require us to assume additional risksassociated with cost over-runs, operating cost inflation, labor availability and productivity, supplier and contractor pricing and performance, and potentialclaims for liquidated damages. Some of our customers, primarily NOCs, may require bids for contracts in the form of long-term, fixed pricing contracts that may require us to provideintegrated project management services outside our normal discrete businesses to act as project managers as well as service providers, and may require us toassume additional risks associated with cost over-runs. These customers may provide us with inaccurate information in relation to their reserves, which is asubjective process that involves location and volume estimation that may result in cost over-runs, delays, and project losses. In addition, NOCs often operate incountries with unsettled political conditions, war, civil unrest, or other types of community issues that may also result in cost over-runs, delays, and project losses. 16 Providing services on an integrated basis or long-term may also require us to assume additional risks associated with operating cost inflation, labor availabilityand productivity, supplier pricing and performance, and potential claims for liquidated damages. We might rely on third-party subcontractors and equipmentproviders to assist them with the completion of these types of contracts. To the extent that we cannot engage subcontractors or acquire equipment or materials in atimely manner and on reasonable terms or on terms consistent with the customer contract, our ability to complete a project in accordance with stated deadlines or ata profit may be impaired. If the amount we are required to pay for these goods and services exceeds the amount we have estimated in bidding for fixed-price work,we could experience losses in the performance of these contracts. These delays and additional costs may be substantial, and we may be required to compensate ourcustomers for these delays. This may reduce the profit to be realized or result in a loss on a project and adversely affect our financial condition, results ofoperations, and cash flows. The loss or unavailability of any of our executive officers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business. We depend on the efforts of our executive officers and other key employees to manage our operations. The loss or unavailability of any of our executiveofficers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although we expect all of our key personnel to remain with us, it is possiblethat we will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact our business operations and profitability. In addition, the delivery of our servicesand products requires personnel with specialized skills and experience. Our ability to be productive and profitable will depend upon our ability to employ andretain such skilled workers. Our growth potential and ability to operate could be materially and adversely affected if we cannot employ and retain technical personnel at a competitive cost. Many of the products and services we provide and sell are complex and highly engineered and often must perform in harsh conditions. Our success dependsupon our ability to employ and retain technical personnel with the ability to design, utilize, and enhance these services and products. A significant increase in thewages paid by competing employers could result in increased competition for the skilled labor force we require, increases in the wage rates that we must pay, orboth. If either of these events were to occur, our cost structures could increase, our margins could decrease, and our growth potential, if any, could be impaired. Our failure to comply with complex U.S. and foreign laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We are subject to complex U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and various other anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws. At this time, the U.K. Bribery Act has not been adopted to apply to British Virgin Islands companies, but does apply to any employees of us or ourSubsidiaries that are U.K. citizens and any subsidiaries formed in the U.K. We may also be subject to trade control regulations and trade sanctions laws that restrictthe movement of certain goods to, and certain operations in, various countries or with certain persons. Thus, our ability to transfer people and products amongcertain countries will be subject to maintaining required licenses and complying with these laws and regulations. The internal controls, policies and procedures, andemployee training and compliance programs we expect to implement to deter prohibited practices may not be effective in preventing employees, contractors oragents from violating or circumventing such internal policies or violating applicable laws and regulations. Any determination that we have violated or areresponsible for violations of anti-bribery, trade control, trade sanctions or anti-corruption laws could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition andmay result in fines and penalties, administrative remedies or restrictions on business conduct, and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and ourbusiness. Regulatory enforcement and accountability mechanisms have steadily changed the financial landscape for companies organized in the British Virgin Islands.One major regulatory change comes from the implementation of a key anti-money laundering treaty with the United States, known as the Foreign Account TaxCompliance Act (“FATCA”). FATCA implementation began on June 30, 2014, and it requires foreign entities to identify and report specific information to theUnited States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) about U.S. taxpayers holding foreign accounts and assets. 17 Another key regulatory change began on September 1, 2017, with the British Virgin Islands’ full integration of the “Common Reporting Standard” (“CRS”)into its banking system. The CRS is specifically designed to fight against tax evasion and money laundering. Under the CRS system, banks in the CRS jurisdictionare required to determine where the individual is a “tax resident,” and if the individual is banking outside their country of residence, the banks may reportinformation about the accounts to the national tax authority in the country where the account is held, who then may share that information with the individual’scountry of residency. We and U.S. persons working for us are subject to sanctions regimes adopted by the United States and other jurisdictions. We and U.S. persons working for us are subject to laws, reporting requirements or sanctions imposed by the United States or by other jurisdictions where wedo business that may restrict or even prohibit us, U.S. persons, or certain of our affiliates from doing business in certain countries, or with designated companies inthe oil and natural gas sector. Such restrictions may provide a competitive advantage to competitors formed in or operating from countries that may not imposecomparable restrictions. The Middle East, Asia, and Africa are locations in which from time to time the United States, the United Nations or the European Unionhas imposed economic sanctions to restrict or impede contracting in identified sanctioned countries. The U.S. Commerce Department or State Departmentregulates the types of technologies that can be sold or used in some countries. We cannot predict what sanctions might be imposed against any country in whichour Subsidiaries might operate or might receive contracts for performing services. Trade restrictions and sanctions could adversely impact our potential income, orour ability to pursue new undeveloped business objectives. The United States government has implemented mechanisms to collect information on companies registered on the U.S. stock exchange related to businessactivities that might be sanctionable under the various U.S. sanctions programs if the foreign companies or its subsidiaries are U.S. companies. Section 219 of theIran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 requires annual or quarterly “219 Report” to the SEC by any company registered on a U.S. stockexchange to disclose as if the listed company were a U.S. entity, certain business activities relating to any country subject to U.S. sanctions, which in most casesincludes the energy sector, even if the activity is not prohibited by U.S. sanctions by the foreign company. Such reporting of any future activities that might beengaged in by our Subsidiaries, even though not prohibited by the sanctions, could initiate an investigation by the U.S. government and require us to engagecounsel to monitor or respond to such investigations. Generally, 219 Report disclosures include activities that constitute an investment in the energy sector of $5million each, or in the aggregate of over $20 million in a 12-month period. A 219 Report also requires reporting of any transaction with a person or entity identifiedto the SDN List. The risk of an investigation or inadvertent action that relates to sanctioned activity could increase costs and have an adverse impact on financialconditions and results of operations. Our operations in Middle Eastern countries will require us to incur additional costs in order to comply with U.S., U.K. and EU sanctions-related regulations. The United States government, the UK government and the EU have established lists of corporations, and people in the case of the United States, with whichengaging in business by a U.S. person is prohibited without a license and disclosure is required in a 219 Report. These lists in the United States are referred to asthe List of Specially Designated Nationals (“SDN List”). There are no discernible qualifications or objective standards for determining when a person might beidentified to an SDN List, other than the opinion of the Office of Foreign Assets Control that there is some cause or connection to believe that such foreign personmay have been doing business with or for a sanctioned country or person already on the SDN List. There is no advance notice or due process for the listed person.If any person were to be identified to an SDN List, no U.S. persons can be involved in contracting or providing services to or with such listed person without alicense. If a Target Company affiliate were to be performing a contract with a person that becomes named to the SDN List, the contract may have to be terminatedand/or disclosed, which could result in additional costs or losses. 18 Although we cannot be assured that no person or company in the Middle East with which one of our Subsidiaries has done business will not be identified onan SDN List in the future, we have confirmed that none of our Subsidiaries, their key employees, key vendors, or any company with which they are currentlyconducting business are listed on the SDN List or similar lists in the EU and UK. If any customer, employee or vendor were to be listed on an SDN List in thefuture, we will need to incur costs to seek legal advice to determine whether any further business could be conducted with such person or whether all businessrelationships with such person must cease. We are subject to litigation risks that may not be covered by insurance. In the ordinary course of business, we become the subject of various claims, lawsuits, and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remediesconcerning their commercial operations, employees, and other matters. We maintain insurance to cover certain potential losses and are subject to various self-insurance retentions and deductibles under our insurance policies. It is possible, however, that a judgment could be rendered against us in cases in which we couldbe uninsured and beyond the amounts that we currently have reserved or anticipate incurring for such matters. If we were to be sued under any of the agreementsrelated to the Business Combination or if we were made a party to lawsuits to which our Subsidiaries are currently a party, we could be exposed to one or morejudgments that are in excess of what our management may believe that it should pay and would not likely be covered by insurance. We may be unable to obtain or renew permits necessary for our operations, which could inhibit our ability to do business. In order to perform our operations, we are required to obtain and maintain a number of government permits, licenses and approvals with terms and conditionscontaining a significant number of prescriptive limits and performance standards in order to operate. While this is a common scenario for foreign investorsoperating in the region, we will need to ensure that relevant foreign ownership restrictions and/or applicable licenses, permits, and approvals for the operation offoreign owned entities in the jurisdictions of the GCC are complied with. The GCC has made efforts to increase local content and in country value requirements.All the permits, licenses, approval limits, and standards require a significant amount of monitoring, record keeping, and reporting in order to demonstratecompliance with the underlying permit, license, approval limit or standard. Noncompliance or incomplete documentation of our compliance status may result in theimposition of fines, penalties and injunctive relief. A decision by a government agency to deny or delay the issuance of a new or existing material permit or otherapproval, or to revoke or substantially modify an existing permit or other approval, could adversely affect our ability to initiate or continue operations at theaffected location or facility. Furthermore, it could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. We operate in a highly competitive industry, and many of our competitors are larger and have greater resources. Several of our primary competitors are diversified multinational companies with substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources. These largercompetitors’ greater resources could allow them to better withstand industry downturns and to compete more effectively on the basis of technology, geographicscope and retained skilled personnel. Cybersecurity risks and threats could adversely affect our business. We rely heavily on information systems to conduct our business. There can be no assurance that the systems we have designed to prevent or limit the effectsof cyber incidents or attacks will be sufficient to prevent or detect such incidents or attacks, or to avoid a material impact on our systems when such incidents orattacks do occur. If our systems for protecting against cybersecurity risks are circumvented or breached, this could result in the loss of our intellectual property orother proprietary information, including customer data, and disruption of our business operations. 19 A cyber incident or attack could result in the disclosure of confidential or proprietary customer information, theft or loss of intellectual property, damage toour reputation with our customers and the market, failure to meet customer requirements or customer dissatisfaction, theft or exposure to litigation andenforcement actions including under data privacy laws and regulations, damage to equipment (which could cause environmental or safety issues) and otherfinancial costs and losses. In addition, as cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, we may be required to devote additional resources to continue to enhance ourprotective measures or to investigate or remediate any cybersecurity vulnerabilities. We do not presently maintain insurance coverage to protect againstcybersecurity risks. If we procure such coverage in the future, we cannot ensure that it will be sufficient to cover any particular losses we may experience as aresult of such cyberattacks. We depend on our suppliers to provide services and equipment in a timely manner and any delays, interruptions or failures by suppliers could expose us toincreased costs or inability to meet contractual obligations. We rely on suppliers of equipment and spare parts as well as suppliers of technical labor to perform certain contractual obligations with our clients. Failure bysuppliers to provide goods and services in a timely manner could lead to delays by us in fulfilling contractual obligations, the inability to fulfill such obligations, oradditional costs in seeking replacement suppliers. We have engaged in a number of related party transactions, the termination of which may inhibit business. We rely at times upon services and products supplied by related parties if no other suitable alternatives are available. For example, a related party vendorprovides software services that supports certain of our operations in a country where we have a perpetual license to use an Enterprise Resource Planning system.However, if the software services are discontinued, it could result in a disruption of supporting business processes and require time and resources for sourcingreplacement services and products. We might require additional equity or debt financing to fund operations and/or future acquisitions. We may need access to additional debt or equity capital to fund operations or to fund potential acquisitions. If additional capital is required, we may not beable to obtain debt and/or equity financing on terms favorable to us, or at all. The failure to obtain additional funding could result in a curtailment of our operationsand future development, which in turn could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If we do not effectively or efficiently integrate the operations of businesses or companies we acquire, including the integration of the operations of ourSubsidiaries, our future growth will be limited. We may not achieve expected returns and other benefits as a result of various factors, including integration and collaboration challenges. The success of anyacquisition is subject to various risks, including: ●the inability to integrate the operations of recently acquired assets; ●the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns; ●the failure to realize expected volumes, revenues, profitability, or growth; ●the failure to realize any expected synergies and cost savings; ●the coordination of geographically disparate organizations, systems, and facilities; ●the assumption of unknown liabilities; ●the loss of customers or key employees; and ●potential environmental or regulatory liabilities and title problems. 20 The assessment by our management of these risks is inexact and may not reveal or resolve all existing and potential risks. Realization of any of these riskscould adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Risks Related to Our Capital Structure The market price of our ordinary shares and warrants may decline. Fluctuations in the price of our ordinary shares and warrants could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Trading in our ordinary shares andwarrants has been limited. Even if an active market for our securities develops and continues, the trading price of our ordinary shares and warrants could be volatileand subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverseeffect on your investment and our ordinary shares and warrants may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, thetrading price of our ordinary shares and warrants may not recover and may experience a further decline. Factors affecting the trading price of our ordinary shares and warrants may include: ●actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us; ●changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results; ●success of competitors; ●our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period; ●changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us or the market in general; ●operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us; ●our ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis; ●changes in laws and regulations affecting our business; ●commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving us; ●changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt; ●the volume of securities available for public sale; ●any major change in our board or management; ●sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares and warrants by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception thatsuch sales could occur; and ●general economic and political conditions such as recession, interest rate, fuel price, international currency fluctuations, and acts of war or terrorism. 21 Many of the factors listed above are beyond our control. In addition, broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our ordinaryshares and warrants irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, including the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), has experiencedprice and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The tradingprices and valuations of our ordinary shares and warrants, which currently trade on the Nasdaq, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the marketfor retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to us could depress the price of our securities regardless of our business,prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our ordinary shares and warrants also could adversely affect our ability toissue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or our market, or if they change theirrecommendations regarding our securities adversely, the price and trading volume of our ordinary shares and warrants could decline. The trading market for our ordinary shares and warrants relies in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or ourbusiness. We do not control these analysts. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrade or provide negative outlook on our stock or ourindustry, or the stock of any of our competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our ordinary shares and warrantscould decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our business or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the market, whichin turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. We are a holding company. Our sole material asset is our equity interest in our subsidiaries and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions from them tocover our corporate and other overhead expenses. We are a holding company and have no material assets other than our equity interest in our Subsidiaries. We have no independent means of generatingrevenue. To the extent the Subsidiaries have available cash, we intend to cause them to make non-pro rata payments to us to reimburse us for our corporate andother overhead expenses. To the extent that we need funds and the Subsidiaries are restricted from making such distributions or payments under applicable law orregulation or under the terms of any financing arrangements due to restrictive covenants or otherwise, or are otherwise unable to provide such funds, our liquidityand financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Future sales of our ordinary shares could reduce our stock price, and any additional capital raised by us through the sale of equity or convertible securitiesmay dilute your ownership in us. We may sell additional securities in subsequent public or private offerings. On December 31, 2019, 87,187,289 ordinary shares were outstanding and35,540,380 warrants were outstanding. Our outstanding ordinary shares do not include ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, which may be resoldin the public market. Downward pressure on the market price of our ordinary shares that likely will result from sales of our ordinary shares issued in connection with the exercise ofthe warrants could encourage short sales of our ordinary shares by market participants. Generally, short selling means selling a security, contract or commodity notowned by the seller. The seller is committed to eventually purchase the financial instrument previously sold. Short sales are used to capitalize on an expecteddecline in the security’s price. Such sales of ordinary shares could have a tendency to depress the price of the stock, which could increase the potential for shortsales. 22 We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our ordinary shares or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of our ordinary shares willhave on the market price of our ordinary shares. Sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares (including shares issued in connection with an acquisition), orthe perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of our ordinary shares. Because we currently have no plans to pay cash dividends on our ordinary shares, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your ordinaryshares for a price greater than that what you paid for it. We currently do not expect to pay any cash dividends on our ordinary shares. Any future determination to pay cash dividends or other distributions on ourordinary shares will be at the discretion of the board of directors and will be dependent on our earnings, financial condition, operation results, capital requirements,and contractual, regulatory and other restrictions, including restrictions contained in the agreements governing any existing and future outstanding indebtedness weor our subsidiaries may incur, on the payment of dividends by us or by our subsidiaries to us, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in our ordinary shares unless you sell the ordinary shares for a price greater than that what youpaid for it. There is no guarantee that the public warrants will ever be in the money, and they may expire worthless. The exercise price for our warrants is $5.75 per one-half of an ordinary share. Warrants must be exercised for whole ordinary shares. There is no guaranteethat the warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration on June 6, 2023 (five years after the completion of the Business Combination), and as such, thewarrants may expire worthless. Other Risks Associated with Our Business We are not subject to the supervision of the Financial Services Commission of the British Virgin Islands and so our shareholders are not protected by anyregulatory inspections in the British Virgin Islands. We are not an entity subject to any regulatory supervision in the British Virgin Islands by the Financial Services Commission. As a result, shareholders are notprotected by any regulatory supervision or inspections by any regulatory agency in the British Virgin Islands and we are not required to observe any restrictions inrespect of our conduct save as disclosed in this Annual Report or our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. An investment in our securities may result in uncertain U.S. federal income tax consequences. An investment in our securities may result in uncertain U.S. federal income tax consequences. For example, the United States federal income taxconsequences of a cashless exercise of warrants included in the units sold in our initial public offering is unclear under current law. Prospective investors are urgedto consult their tax advisers with respect to these and other tax consequences when purchasing, holding or disposing of our securities. A majority of our directors and officers live outside the United States and all of our assets are located outside the United States; therefore, investors may not beable to enforce federal securities laws or their other legal rights. A majority of our directors and officers reside outside of the United States and all of our assets are located outside of the United States. Thus, it may bedifficult, or in some cases not possible, for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon all of our directors orofficers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties on our directors and officers under United Stateslaws. 23 As a foreign private issuer in the United States, we are subject to different U.S. securities laws and rules than a domestic U.S. issuer. We are a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act and, as a result, are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act. Under the Exchange Act weare subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies, which may limitthe information publicly available to shareholders. The rules we are exempt from include the proxy rules that impose certain disclosure and proceduralrequirements for proxy solicitations. In addition, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently, promptly or in asmuch detail as U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act. We are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which imposes certainrestrictions on the selective disclosure of material information. Moreover, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting andshort-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of ourordinary shares. As a result of such varied reporting obligations, shareholders should not expect to receive the same information at the same time as informationprovided by U.S. domestic companies. We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will makeour securities less attractive to investors. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”). We will remain an“emerging growth company” for up to the first five years after our initial public offering. However, if our non-convertible debt issued within a three-year periodexceeds $1.0 billion or revenues exceeds $1.07 billion, or the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates (as defined by the SEC) exceeds$700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following fiscalyear. As an emerging growth company, we are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Wecannot predict if investors will find our ordinary shares less attractive because we may rely on these provisions. If some investors find our ordinary shares lessattractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our shares and our share price may be more volatile. Further, Section 102(b) (1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accountingstandards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securitiesregistered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company canelect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to optout is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has differentapplication dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, will not adopt the new or revised standard until the time private companiesare required to adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither anemerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of thepotential differences in accounting standards used. We may re-incorporate in another jurisdiction, and the laws of such jurisdiction will likely govern all of our material agreements and we may not be able toenforce our legal rights. We may relocate the home jurisdiction of our business from the British Virgin Islands to another jurisdiction. If we determine to do this, the laws of suchjurisdiction would likely govern all of our material agreements. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in such jurisdiction may not be as certainin implementation and interpretation as in the British Virgin Islands. Furthermore, certain U.S. laws would continue to apply to us regardless of where we areincorporated. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities orcapital. Any such reincorporation and the international nature of our business will likely subject us to foreign regulation. Investors may face difficulties in protecting their interests, and their ability to protect their rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited, because weare formed under British Virgin Islands law. We are a company formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce judgments obtained in theUnited States courts against some of our directors or officers. 24 Our corporate affairs will be governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act and the common law of theBritish Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of ourdirectors to us under British Virgin Islands law are governed by the Companies Act and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of theBritish Virgin Islands is derived from English common law, and while the decisions of the English courts are of persuasive authority, they are not binding on acourt in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law may not be asclearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a lessdeveloped body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpretedbodies of corporate law. In addition, while statutory provisions do exist in British Virgin Islands law for derivative actions to be brought in certain circumstances,shareholders in British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. Thecircumstances in which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in therights of shareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States.Accordingly, shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands Courts are also unlikely: ●to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws wherethat liability is in respect of penalties, taxes, fines or similar fiscal or revenue obligations of the company; and ●to impose liabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securitieslaws that are penal in nature.There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands willin certain circumstances recognize such a foreign judgment and treat it as a cause of action in itself which may be sued upon as a debt at common law so that noretrial of the issues would be necessary provided that: ●the U.S. court issuing the judgment had jurisdiction in the matter and the company either submitted to such jurisdiction or was resident or carrying onbusiness within such jurisdiction and was duly served with process; ●the judgment is final and for a liquidated sum; ●the judgment given by the U.S. court was not in respect of penalties, taxes, fines or similar fiscal or revenue obligations of the company; ●in obtaining judgment there was no fraud on the part of the person in whose favor judgment was given or on the part of the court; ●recognition or enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to public policy in the British Virgin Islands; and ●the proceedings pursuant to which judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice.In appropriate circumstances, a British Virgin Islands Court may give effect in the British Virgin Islands to other kinds of final foreign judgments such asdeclaratory orders, orders for performance of contracts and injunctions. As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management orcontrolling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. company. 25 Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association permit the board of directors by resolution to create additional classes of securities,including shares with rights, preferences, designations and limitations as they determine which may have an anti-takeover effect. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association permits the board of directors by resolution to amend the memorandum and articles ofassociation to designate rights, preferences, designations and limitations attaching to the preferred shares as they determine in their discretion, without shareholderapproval with respect to the terms or the issuance. If issued, the rights, preferences, designations and limitations of the preferred shares would be set by the boardof directors and could operate to the disadvantage of the outstanding ordinary shares the holders of which would not have any pre-emption rights in respect of suchan issue of preferred shares. Such terms could include, among others, preferences as to dividends and distributions on liquidation, or could be used to preventpossible corporate takeovers. 26 ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY A.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW The Company’s services are similar to one another in that they consist of oilfield services and related offerings, whose customers are oil and gascompanies. The Company has organized its service lines into two reportable segments, Production Services and Drilling and Evaluation Services. 27 Principal Activities Production Services. Our Production Services segment includes the results of operations from services that are generally offered and performed during theproduction stage of a well’s lifecycle. These services include, but are not limited to, the following: ● Coiled Tubing – We provide various coiled tubing services ranging from basic nitrogen lifting, fishing, milling, clean-out, scale removal andother complex well applications. We employ design software to predict the performance of coiled tubing string and fluid behavior. The workhistory and integrity of each coiled tubing work string is constantly monitored in real-time to allow our engineers to continually evaluatedevelopments in coiled tubing applications. Our coiled tubing units are suitable for both onshore and offshore. ●Hydraulic Fracturing – Hydraulic fracturing services are performed to enhance production of oil and natural gas from formations with lowpermeability and restricted flow of hydrocarbons. The process of hydraulic fracturing involves pumping a highly viscous, pressurized fracturingfluid, typically a mixture of water, chemicals and proppant, into a well casing or tubing in order to fracture underground mineral formations.These fractures release trapped hydrocarbon particles and free a channel for the oil or natural gas to flow freely to the wellbore for collection.Fracturing fluid mixtures include proppant that becomes lodged in the cracks created by the hydraulic fracturing process, “propping” them opento facilitate the flow of hydrocarbons upward through the well. ●Stimulation & Pumping – We employ stimulation and pumping services in our operations. We currently offer acidizing of wells, cleaning jobs,the release of stuck pipes during drilling, pressure testing wells and inhibition jobs on gas wells. ●Nitrogen Services – We offer a complete nitrogen service package through our nitrogen fleets. Our equipment incorporates a combination oflow, intermediate, and high-rate units. Our operational capabilities range from stand-alone nitrogen services such as freeing stuck drill pipe andunloading or cleaning out wellbores, to supplying our coiled tubing, stimulation and cementing service with the essential gaseous componentsnecessary for positive results in various applications. ●Completions – We provide surface and subsurface safety systems, high-pressure packer systems, flow controls, service tools, expandable linertechnology, VIT (Vacuum Insulated Tubing) technology for steam applications, and engineering capabilities with manufacturing capacity andtesting facilities. We focus on in-country value by taking a systems approach to well completions for maximum recovery in addition tointelligent completion architectures. ●Pipelines – We provide pipeline services to plants and refineries including water filling and hydro testing, nitrogen purging, de-gassing andpressure testing, as well as cutting/welding and cooling down piping/vessels systems. Our equipment and resources include an existing fleet ofnitrogen pump units, pig launchers and receivers, intelligent pigs, high rate pumping units at high and low pressure, and pipeline inspectionservices. ●Cementing – We have over 25 years of experience in primary and remedial cementing services across the MENA and Asia Pacific regions. Ourcementing solutions include cementing equipment with complete automated density control capabilities, large volume batch mixers allowinglarger volume of slurries to be mixed and pumped at homogeneous density and customized cement systems for specific applications such as gasmigration, ultra-light weight, flexible cement, HTHP (high-temperature/high-pressure) and self-healing cement. We also have an extensivedatabase of knowledge and experience. ●Laboratory Services – Certain of our locations have a central laboratory to carry out analyses for field operations. These base laboratories are runby qualified personnel who provide support and services to mobile labs in the sites where we operate. Our laboratory services include cementingtests, thickening time, rheology, fluid loss, compressive strength, mud compatibility, and free water. ●Filtration Services – We provide filtration services through our two-stage, skid mounted, easy to handle filtration vessels. The primary and asecondary filtration stages are usually carried out together. We have filtered thousands of barrels on rig sites for reduced damage drilling as wellas for UBD (Under Balanced Drilling) operations. We also provide frac tanks and pumping units as necessary. ●Artificial Lift Services – We provide vertical, deviated and horizontal rod pumping systems, analysis and optimization recommendations forfluid level and dynamometer testing, artificial lift optimization and data interpretation, long term monitoring and optimization, and associatedfield services. We also provide gas lift systems and downhole monitoring systems. We maintain a downhole pump workshop that is equippedwith up-to-date equipment and tools, including pump testers, barrel honing and API beam pump gauges. ●Water & Production Assurance –Our fleet of water well drilling rigs and portfolio of water treatment technologies (chemicals and filtration)allow us to serve the full water cycle. This includes the sourcing and treatment of water for oil and gas, municipal and industrial use and thedisposal of water into selected aquifers. We also provide a portfolio of production assurance chemicals to assist hydrocarbon production from aspecific reservoir in meeting the desired production target. This is achieved by collaborating with selected chemical companies and academicinstitutes and establishing an in-house technical team of engineers and laboratory capabilities. 28 Drilling and Evaluation Services. Our Drilling and Evaluation Services segment includes the results of operations from services that are generally offeredand performed during pre-production stages of a well’s lifecycle and related mainly to the operation of oil rigs. These services include, but are not limited to, thefollowing: ●Drilling & Workover Rigs – Our fleet of rigs range from 200 horsepower (HP) to 1,500 HP and offer drilling capabilities for all type of wellswith depths up to 4,000 meters. Our fleet includes 750 HP truck-mounted, fast moving rigs, which are ideal for both light and heavy work overcampaigns as both rigs are equipped with full edge mud systems that can handle normal drilling activities. We update our fleet of land drillingrigs through investment and application of the latest technology. ● Rig Services – We provide reliable drilling tools and machine shop services for conventional and unconventional drilling applications. Ourmanufacturing capabilities include manufacturing flanges, subs, pup joints, pony drill collars and all types of cross overs. We also have theprovision of threading and repair services for the oil and gas industry including the re-cutting of tubing and casing, repair of drilling andproduction tubular and well heads. ● Drilling Services & Rentals – We provide drilling tools, on a rental basis, for conventional and unconventional drilling applications. Solutionsinclude supply of equipment including tools, jars, accelerators and stabilizers and servicing of equipment. ● Fishing & Remedials – Our comprehensive line of oilfield solutions addresses fishing requirements for wells, from milling, casing patches,workover projects, and abandonment and casing exit to open hole fishing. ● Directional Drilling – Our directional drilling services provide a suite of solutions from conventional to unconventional drilling applications,including directional drilling, measurement while drilling (MWD), logging while drilling (LWD), drilling optimization, drilling engineering,borehole surveying, and surface mud logging. ● Turbines Drilling – We have extensive experience in turbine engineering and drilling technologies. Our turbines are designed to operate underhostile drilling conditions and combine high power with reliability and steerability to deliver enhanced drilling performance in a range of hardrock drilling applications. 29 ●Drilling Fluids – We provide drilling fluid systems and related technologies for a number of projects, including development drilling,exploration drilling and HPHT drilling, in accordance with international standards and regulations for both onshore and offshore projects. ●Wireline Logging Services – Our fleet of logging trucks, offshore units, logging tools and pressure control equipment provides a wide variety ofcased-hole logging services to our clients, including production and injection performance evaluation, stimulation performance evaluation, watershutoff determination, tubing and multiple casing integrity, acoustic leak detection, perforation, pipe recovery, cased hole formation evaluation,and interval isolation and borehole seal. ●Slickline Services – Our slickline services cover the basic removal of scale, wax and sand build-up, setting plugs, changing out gas lift valves,fishing and other complex well applications. ●Well Testing Services – Our well testing services are used to measure solids, gas, oil and water produced from a well. We offer integrated welltesting services in the exploration, appraisal and development phases of oil and gas wells. Our aim is to provide newer, faster and more precisetesting results though innovation and superior service quality, and our services include surface well testing onshore and offshore, flow backpackages, sand management, burner boom stack for gas flaring, smokeless burner, multi-phase flow meters (MPFM), zero-flaring packages, andwater treatment and filtration.Principal Markets The Company’s operations and activities are located within certain geographies, primarily in the MENA region. The revenue earned by geographic area,based on drilling location, was as follows for the periods presented: Successor (NESR) Predecessor (NPS) Period fromJanuary 1to December 31,2019 Period fromJune 7to December 31,2018 Period fromJanuary 1to June 6,2018 Year endedDecember 31,2017 MENA $ 647,434 $ 345,047 $ 134,479 $ 267,366 Rest of World 10,951 3,543 2,548 3,958 Total $ 658,385 $ 348,590 $ 137,027 $ 271,324 Seasonality Seasonal changes in weather and significant weather events affect the demand and price of oil and therefore the demand for our services. Furthermore,customer spending patterns for oilfield services and products generally result in higher activity in the fourth quarter of each year as clients seek to utilize theirannual budgets. Sources and Availability of Raw Materials We purchase various raw materials and component parts in connection with delivering our products and services. These materials are generally, but notalways, available from multiple sources and may be subject to price volatility. While we generally do not experience significant long-term shortages of thesematerials, we have from time to time experienced temporary shortages of particular raw materials. We are always seeking ways to ensure the availability ofresources, as well as manage costs of raw materials. Marketing Channels We sell to our customers through direct and indirect channels. Our primary sales channel is through our direct sales force, which has a strong countryfocus with local teams close to the customer. Intellectual Property We own and control a variety of intellectual property, including but not limited to proprietary information and software tools and applications that, in theaggregate, are material to our business. No individual instance of intellectual property is material to the Company. 30 Customers Revenues from four customers of the Successor (NESR) individually accounted for 45%, 16%, 8% and 6% of the Successor’s (NESR’s) consolidatedrevenues in the year ended December 31, 2019, 42%, 17%, 10% and 5% of the Successor’s (NESR’s) consolidated revenues in the period from June 7 toDecember 31, 2018, 49%, 0%, 16% and 9% of Predecessor’s (NPS’) consolidated revenues in the period from January 1 to June 6, 2018, and 45%, 0%, 13% and14% of the Predecessor’s (NPS’) consolidated revenues in the year ended December 31, 2017. Competition We provide products and services in the MENA region in highly competitive markets, with competitors comprised of both small and large companies.Our revenues and earnings can be affected by several factors, including changes in competition, fluctuations in drilling and completion activity, perceptions offuture prices of oil and gas, government regulation, disruptions caused by weather and general economic conditions. We believe that the principal competitivefactors are price, performance, product and service quality, safety, response time and breadth of products and services. Material Effects of Governmental Regulations Our business is significantly affected by country, regional, and local laws and other regulations. These laws and regulations relate to, among other things: ●worker safety standards; ●the protection of the environment; ●the handling and transportation of hazardous materials; and ●the mobilization of our equipment to, and operations conducted at, our work sites.Numerous permits are required for the conduct of our business and operation of our various facilities and equipment. These permits can be revoked,modified or renewed by issuing authorities based on factors both within and outside our control. We cannot predict the level of enforcement of existing laws and regulations or how such laws and regulations may be interpreted by enforcement agenciesor court rulings in the future. We also cannot predict whether additional laws and regulations will be adopted, including changes in regulatory oversight, increaseof federal, state or local taxes, increase of inspection costs, or the effect such changes may have on us, our businesses or our financial condition. Environmental Regulation In the countries where we operate, we are subject to environmental laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment orotherwise relating to environmental protection and occupational health and safety, including regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions and hydraulicfracturing. Where applicable we have obtained and maintain licenses to operate through the local ministry of environment or similar governmental authority. Wehave established and implemented an environmental health and safety management system based on ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. In addition, we remainaccountable to each customer or operator we service and ensure that full compliance is maintained based on each customer’s requirements. Most of the countries in which we operate have laws and regulations in place referencing water discharge particularly in the vicinity of inhabited areas orregulated waterways. Restrictions and controls regarding the unauthorized discharge of pollutants, including produced waters and other oil and gas wastes, intoregulated waters are in place but not always subject to formal assessments by the regulators. We are working to ensure that our facilities have adequate drainage,sumps, and appropriate sedimentation tanks where required. Integrity of primary and secondary containment systems, and ensure spill prevention controls andcountermeasures plans are in place to minimize the impact of potential releases or spills. 31 Health and Safety Regulation Our health and safety (HSE) standards are based on a combination of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Act and the International Association ofOil & Gas Producers, a global forum whose members identify and share best practices to achieve improvements. Our HSE policy objectives include: ●identifying risks to health and safety and implementing measures to control risk to an acceptable level; ●periodically setting and publishing specific health and safety targets in consultation with employees and monitoring progress towards achieving suchtargets; ●providing appropriate financial and physical resources to implement our health and safety targets; ●recognizing that management of health and safety is a prime responsibility of line management; ●devoting sufficient resources to ensure environmentally friendly performance; ●encouraging full commitment of employees, by involving and consulting them on HSE matters; ●ensuring employees receive appropriate information and training; ●periodic reviewing and auditing our health and safety system to ensure its adequacy and effectiveness; and defining internal standards on HSEreporting, service quality reporting, injury and loss prevention, mechanical lifting, driving and journey management, hazard effects and managementplan, environmental management, and audit and training.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Item 3A, “Selected Financial Data” and the accompanying consolidatedfinancial statements and related notes included in Item 18, “Financial Statements” in this Annual Report. 32 A. OPERATING RESULTS Overview We are a regional provider of services to the oil and gas industry in the MENA and Asia Pacific regions. We currently operate in 15 countries, with astrong presence in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Algeria, UAE, and Iraq. Our vision was founded on creating a regional provider for oilfield services that offered afull portfolio of solutions for our customers throughout the region with a strong focus on supporting the economies in which we operate. We believe strongly inemploying local staff and searching for opportunities to bring value into the region. With its vast reserves of oil and gas, the MENA region continues to dominatein its role as a vital source of global energy supply and stability. Our services include a broad suite of offerings that are essential in the drilling and completion ofnew oil and natural gas wells and in the remedial work on existing wells, both onshore and offshore, including completion services and equipment and drilling &evaluation services and equipment. Fiscal year 2019 was another significant step in the Company’s pursuit of our goal to become the recognized national champion in the MENA region. Inspite of the geopolitical turbulence witnessed in the MENA region, we secured and expanded our core contracts in Saudi Arabia for more than 5 years, madeinroads in new countries like Bahrain and Kuwait, refinanced our credit facilities at favorable terms, and most recently, began performing under a significantunconventional gas stimulation services contract in Saudi Arabia. Our ESG strategy is designed to deliver long-term economic, social and environmental value toall the communities we operate in. We are proud to be from the MENA region and aspire to continue to be key partners to our customers who share our vision ofcreating long-term sustainable In-Country Value. 33 Factors Affecting our Results of Operations Cyclical Nature of Sector We provide oilfield services to exploration and production companies with operations in the onshore and offshore oil and gas sectors in the MENA,particularly the Middle East, and Asia Pacific regions. Demand for our services is mainly driven by our customers’ operations and is therefore linked to globalcommodity prices and expectations about future prices, rig activity and other factors. The oilfield services sector is a highly cyclical industry. As a result, our operating results can fluctuate from quarter to quarter and period to period.However, due to the lower average cost per barrel in the Middle East and the need for infrastructure spending to sustain or increase current production levels ofthese oil rich countries, we believe that we are less affected by oil price volatility as compared to oilfield services companies that operate in other regions, asdiscussed below. Global E&P Trends and Oil Prices On a macro basis, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) estimates that global oil markets were roughly balanced in 2019, as global oilsupply declined slightly and global oil consumption grew at its slowest pace since 2011. The EIA anticipates that both supply and consumption will grow in 2020,with supply slightly outpacing demand. Regionally, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) provided a similar view in its most recentWorld Oil Outlook, published in November 2019, noting that it anticipated demand to be substantially flat through 2024. While Brent crude oil prices were slightlydepressed on average in 2019 as compared to 2018, there continue to be good indicators that exploration and production companies in the Middle East willcontinue to be very active, owing to an abundance of cheap-to-extract reserves that are less sensitive to price fluctuations. In December 2019, the emergence of a new strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported in China that has subsequently spread across China andseveral other countries and regions, including the United States, Japan and Europe. As a result of the outbreak, travel restrictions, quarantines and similar measurestaken by governments and companies have had a significant impact on global commerce. Beginning in early March 2020, the global oil markets have experienceda precipitous decline in oil prices in response to concerns regarding the potential impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on worldwide oil demand andthe anticipated increases in oil production from Russia and OPEC, primarily from Saudi Arabia. Due to the uncertain and rapidly evolving outbreak of thecoronavirus (COVID-19), including its duration and severity, and the anticipated increases in oil production, we cannot estimate the scope of their impact on ourbusiness, our results of operations, our financial condition, our personnel, our customers, our suppliers or the global economy. Additionally, our customers andsuppliers may reduce activity during this period of uncertainty and our customers may also seek price reductions for our services. We continue to monitor theongoing situation and may adjust our current policies and practices as more information and guidance become available. Drilling Environments Based on energy industry data, offshore oil production currently provides an estimated 30% of all global oil supply; however, the bulk of oil productioncomes from onshore activity. We provide services to exploration and production (“E&P”) companies with both onshore and offshore drilling operations. Offshoredrilling generally provides higher margins to service providers due to greater complexity, logistical challenges and the need for innovative solutions. 34 Geographic Concentration; Middle Eastern Operations Over 90% of our revenue has historically come from the MENA region, particularly the Middle East. The Middle East has almost half of the world’sproven oil reserves and accounts for almost a third of oil production, according to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2019 (68th edition). The countries inthe Middle East account for approximately one-quarter of global oil production and given the low break-even price, it is a key region for oilfield servicecompanies. Most oil and gas fields in the Middle East are legacy fields on land or in shallow waters. These fields are largely engaged in development drillingactivity, driven by the need for redevelopment, enhanced oil recovery via stimulation and the drilling of new production wells. Further, a number of gas fieldsscheduled to be developed in the near future will require oilfield services. Although the region still has low break-even levels, it is expected that more complexprojects, with higher break-even prices, will be developed in the future and other new technologies will be required to meet customer expectations or drillingrequirements. As a result, our capital expenditure and related financing needs may increase materially in the future. In addition, regional drilling operations may be impacted by local political and economic trends. Due to the concentration of our operations in the MENAregion, and particularly the Middle East, our financial condition and results of operations may be impacted by geopolitical, political or economic instabilityaffecting the countries in which we operate, including armed conflict, imposition of economic sanctions, changes in governments and currency devaluations,among others. Many MENA countries rely on the energy sector as the major source of national revenues. For example, according to energy industry data, during therecent industry downturn the MENA region saw less reduction in oil and gas activities than North America. Even at lower oil and gas prices, such oil and gasdependent economies have continued to maintain significant production and drilling activities. Further, given that Middle East markets have among the lowestbreak-even prices, they can continue to produce profitably at significantly lower commodity prices. Key Components of Revenues and Expenses Revenues We earn revenue from our broad suite of oilfield services, including coiled tubing, hydraulic fracturing, cementing, stimulation and pumping, well testingservices, drilling services and rental, fishing and remediation, drilling and workover rigs, nitrogen services, wireline logging services, turbines drilling, directionaldrilling, filtration services and slickline services, among others. Revenues are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance withcontractual terms, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for services rendered or rentals provided. Aperformance obligation arises under contracts with customers to render services or provide rentals and is the unit of account under Accounting Standards Update(ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company accounts for services rendered and rentals provided separately if they are distinct and theservice or rental is separately identifiable from other items provided to a customer and if a customer can benefit from the services rendered or rentals provided onits own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation andrecognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. A contract’s standalone selling prices are determined based on the prices that theCompany charges for its services rendered and rentals provided. Most of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, which is generallyrepresented by a period of 30 days or less. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type of products or services offered. The term between invoicing and whenthe payment is due is typically 30-60 days. Cost of services Cost of services primarily includes staff costs for service personnel, purchase of non-capitalized material and equipment (such as tools and rentalequipment), depreciation relating to capital assets used in our operations, vehicle and equipment rental and maintenance and repair. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) SG&A expense primarily includes salary and employee benefits for non-production personnel (primarily management and administrative personnel),professional service fees (including expenses relating to the Business Combination), office facilities and equipment, office supplies and non-capitalized officeequipment and depreciation of office furniture and fixtures. Amortization Amortization expense primarily includes amortization of intangible assets associated with acquired customer contracts, trademarks and tradenames. 35 Interest expense, net Interest expense primarily consists of interest on outstanding debt, net of interest income. Other income (expense), net Other operating income (expenses) primarily consists of gain/loss on disposal of fixed assets, bank charges and foreign exchange transaction expenses. Key Performance Indicators Historically, we have tracked two principal non-financial performance indicators that are important drivers of our results of operations: rig count and oilprice. Oil price is important because the level of spending by E&P companies, our principal customers, is significantly influenced by anticipated future prices ofoil, which is typically indicative of expected supply and demand. Changes in E&P spending, in turn, typically result in an increased or decreased demand for ourservices. Rig count, particularly in the regions in which we operate, is an indicator of the level of activity and spending by our E&P customers and has historicallybeen an important indicator of our financial performance and activity levels. More recently, our customers in certain parts of the MENA region have increased theirefforts to commercialize natural gas, particularly from unconventional formations. Over time, we anticipate that the market for natural gas will also become a keyperformance indicator for the Company. The following table shows rig count (Source: Baker Hughes Published Rig Count Data) and oil prices as of the dates indicated: As of December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Rig count: MENA 495 459 443 Rest of World – outside of North America 609 566 511 Total 1,104 1,025 954 Europe Brent Spot Price FOB (per barrel) $67.77 $50.57 $66.73 Basis of Presentation of Financial Information Business Combination Accounting and Presentation of Results of Operations As a result of the Business Combination, NESR was determined to be the accounting acquirer and NPS was determined to be the predecessor for SECreporting purposes. Pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), the acquisition-date fair value of thepurchase consideration paid by NESR to affect the Business Combination was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimatedfair values. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting resulting from the Business Combination, the financial statements and certainnotes to the financial statements included in Item 18, “Financial Statements” of this Annual Report separate our presentations into two distinct sets of reportingperiods, the period before the date of consummation of the Business Combination (“Predecessor Period”) and the period after that date (“Successor Period”), toindicate the application of the different basis of accounting between the periods presented. The Predecessor Period reflects the historical financial information ofNPS prior to the Business Combination, while the Successor Period reflects our consolidated financial information, including the results of NPS and GES, after theBusiness Combination. The Successor Period is from June 7, 2018 to December 31, 2018 (“2018 Successor Period”) and January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019(“2019 Successor Period”), and the predecessor periods are from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 (“2017 Predecessor Period”) and January 1, 2018 to June6, 2018 (“2018 Predecessor Period”). References to the “2018 periods” below refers to the aggregation of results from the 2018 Predecessor Period and 2018Successor Period to enhance comparability with 2019 amounts. 36 Our statement of operations subsequent to the Business Combination includes depreciation and amortization expense on the NPS and GES property, plant,and equipment balances resulting from the fair value adjustments made under the new basis of accounting. Certain other items of income and expense, particularlydepreciation and amortization were also impacted and NPS stand-alone results are presented as the Predecessor. Therefore, our financial information prior to theBusiness Combination is not comparable to our financial information subsequent to the Business Combination. Segments We operate our business and report our results of operations through two operating and reporting segments, Production Services and Drilling andEvaluation Services, which aggregate services performed during distinct stages of a typical life cycle of an oil well. Production Services. Our Production Services segment includes the results of operations from services that are generally offered and performed during theproduction stage of a well’s lifecycle. These services mainly include coiled tubing, cementing, stimulation and pumping, nitrogen services, filtration services,completions, pipelines, laboratory services and artificial lift services. Our Production Services accounted for 62%, 62%, 82%, and 84% of our revenues for the2019 Successor Period, 2018 Successor Period, 2018 Predecessor Period, and 2017 Predecessor Period, respectively. Drilling and Evaluation Services. Our Drilling and Evaluation Services segment includes the results of operations from services that are generally offeredand performed during pre-production stages of a well’s lifecycle and related mainly to the operation of oil rigs. The services mainly include well testing services,drilling services and rental, fishing and remediation, drilling and workover rigs, wireline logging services, turbines drilling, directional drilling, slickline servicesand drilling fluids, among others. Our Drilling and Evaluation Services accounted for 38%, 38%, 18%, and 16% of our revenues for the 2019 Successor Period,2018 Successor Period, 2018 Predecessor Period, and 2017 Predecessor Period, respectively. Please see Item 4B, “Business Overview” in this Annual Report for adescription of our reportable segments. 37 Results of Operations The discussions below relating to significant line items from our consolidated statements of operations are based on available information and representour analysis of significant changes or events that impact the fluctuations in or comparability of reported amounts. Where appropriate, we have identified specificevents and changes that affect comparability or trends. In addition, the discussions below for revenues are on an aggregate basis for each fiscal period, as thebusiness drivers for all services are similar. 2019 Compared to 2018 The following table presents our consolidated income statement data for the periods indicated: (In US$ thousands, except share data and per share amounts) Successor (NESR) Predecessor (NPS) Description Period fromJanuary 1to December 31,2019 Period fromJune 7to December 31,2018 Period fromJanuary 1to June 6,2018 Revenues $658,385 $348,590 $137,027 Cost of services (506,799) (249,159) (104,242)Gross profit 151,586 99,431 32,785 Selling, general and administrative expense (63,840) (36,705) (19,969)Amortization (15,932) (9,373) (10)Operating income 71,814 53,353 12,806 Interest expense, net (18,971) (14,383) (4,090)Other income / (expense), net (408) 5,441 362 Income before income tax 52,435 44,411 9,078 Income tax expense (13,071) (9,431) (2,342)Net income / (loss) 39,364 34,980 6,736 Net income / (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests - (163) (881)Net income attributable to shareholders $39,364 $35,143 $7,617 Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic 86,997,554 85,569,020 348,524,566 Diluted 86,997,554 86,862,983 370,000,000 Net earnings per share: Basic $0.45 $0.41 $0.02 Diluted $0.45 $0.40 $0.02 Revenue. Revenue was $658.4 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to $137.0 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period and $348.6 million forthe 2018 Successor Period, or $485.6 million in total for the 2018 periods. The table below presents our revenue by segment for the periods indicated: (In US$ thousands, except share data and per share amounts) Successor (NESR) Predecessor (NPS) Description Period fromJanuary 1to December 31,2019 Period fromJune 7to December 31,2018 Period fromJanuary 1to June 6,2018 Reportable Segment: Production Services $405,654 $215,791 $112,295 Drilling and Evaluation Services 252,731 132,799 24,732 Total revenue $658,385 $348,590 $137,027 Production Services revenue was $405.7 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to $215.8 million for the 2018 Successor Period and $112.3million for the 2018 Predecessor Period, or $328.1 million in total for the 2018 periods. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher coil tubing andstimulation activities in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates. 38 Drilling and Evaluation Services revenue was $252.7 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to $132.8 million for the 2018 Successor Periodand $24.7 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period, or $157.5 million in total for the 2018 periods. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher well testing,logging and drilling services activities in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Algeria. Cost of services. Cost of services was $506.8 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to $249.2 million for the 2018 Successor Period and $104.2million for the 2018 Predecessor Period, or $353.4 million in total for the 2018 periods. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue was 77%, 71% and 76%,for the 2019 Successor Period, 2018 Successor Period, and 2018 Predecessor Period, respectively. The change in cost of services as percentage of total revenue ismainly due to a change in revenue mix between business lines with lower and higher margins and new contract startup costs. Cost of services included depreciationexpense of $72.2 million, $33.0 million, and $17.3 million, in the 2019 Successor Period, 2018 Successor Period, and 2018 Predecessor Period, respectively.Depreciation expense during the Successor Period has increased due to additional capital expenditures throughout the Successor Period, especially as compared tothe Predecessor Period. Gross profit. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue in the 2019 Successor Period, the 2018 Successor Period and the 2018 Predecessor Period was23%, 29% and 24%, respectively. The change in trend is described above. Selling, general and administrative expense. SG&A expense, which represents costs associated with managing and supporting our operations, was $63.8million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to $36.7 million for the 2018 Successor Period and $19.7 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period, or $56.7million in total for the 2018 periods. SG&A as a percentage of total revenue was 10%, 11% and 15%, for the 2019 Successor Period, 2018 Successor Period, and2018 Predecessor Period, respectively. The reduction of expenses as percentage of revenue for the 2019 Successor Period is primarily due to integration costsavings realized following the Business Combination, along with revenue growth. Amortization expense. Amortization expense was $15.9 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to $10 thousand for the 2018 Predecessor Periodand $9.4 million for the 2018 Successor Period, or $9.4 million in total for the 2018 periods. The increase in the Successor Period amortization was driven mainlyby acquired intangible assets resulting from the Business Combination. Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, was $19.0 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to $14.4 million for the 2018 Predecessor Periodand $4.1 million for the 2018 Successor Period, or $18.5 million in total for the 2018 periods. The increase in interest expense during the 2019 Successor Period ascompared to the 2018 periods is mainly attributable to the impact of the loan arrangement fees write-off of the prior credit facilities following the May 2019refinancing of our credit facilities as well as the incremental impact of including GES throughout the 2019 Successor Period, as compared to only post-acquisitionin the 2018 periods, offset by lower interest rates obtained in the May 2019 refinancing of our credit facilities. Other (expense) income, net. Other (expense) income, net, was ($0.4) million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to $5.4 million for the 2018Predecessor Period and $0.4 million for the 2018 Successor Period, or $5.8 million in total for the 2018 periods. Differences between periods were mainlyattributed to a one-time gain during the 2018 Successor Period related to the settlement of a contingent liability for the NPS earn-out. Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax expense (benefit) was $13.1 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to $2.3 million for the 2018Predecessor Period and $9.4 million for the 2018 Successor Period, or $11.7 million in total for the 2018 periods. See Note 17, Income Taxes, to our consolidatedfinancial statements included in Item 18, “Financial Statements” of this Annual Report. Net income. Net income was $39.4 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to $6.7 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period and $35.0 million forthe 2018 Successor Period, or $41.7 million in total for the 2018 periods. Supplemental Segment EBITDA Discussion. Our management uses Segment EBITDA as its principal measure of segment operating performance (inthousands). (In US$ thousands, except share data and per share amounts) Successor (NESR) Predecessor (NPS) Description Period fromJanuary 1to December 31,2019 Period fromJune 7to December 31,2018 Period fromJanuary 1to June 6,2018 Reportable Segment: Production Services $130,839 $77,482 $36,836 Drilling and Evaluation Services 52,962 32,782 3,267 Production Services EBITDA was $130.9 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to $77.5 million for the 2018 Successor Period and $36.8million for the 2018 Predecessor Period, or $114.3 million in total for the 2018 periods. The increase in Segment EBITDA was due primarily to higher coil tubingactivity in Saudi, Qatar, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates. Drilling and Evaluation Services EBITDA was $53.0 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to $32.8 million for the 2018 Successor Period and$3.3 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period, or $36.0 million in total for the 2018 periods. The increase in Segment EBITDA was driven by strong well testingactivities in Saudi and Iraq. 39 2018 Compared to 2017 The following table presents our consolidated income statement data for the periods indicated: (In US$ thousands, except share data and per share amounts) Predecessor (NPS) Description Period fromJune 7To December 31,2018 Period fromJanuary 1To June 6,2018 Year endedDecember 31,2017 Revenues $348,590 $137,027 $271,324 Cost of services (249,159) (104,242) (200,149)Gross profit 99,431 32,785 71,175 Selling, general and administrative expense (36,705) (19,969) (30,336)Amortization (9,373) (10) (607)Operating income 53,353 12,806 40,232 Interest expense, net (14,383) (4,090) (6,720)Other income / (expense), net 5,441 362 (573)Income before income tax 44,411 9,078 32,939 Income tax expense (9,431) (2,342) (4,586)Net income / (loss) 34,980 6,736 28,353 Net income / (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests (163) (881) (2,273)Net income attributable to shareholders $35,143 $7,617 $30,626 Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic 85,569,020 348,524,566 342,250,000 Diluted 86,862,983 370,000,000 370,000,000 Net earnings per share: Basic $0.41 $0.02 $0.09 Diluted $0.40 $0.02 $0.08 Revenue. Revenue was $348.6 million for the 2018 Successor Period and $137.0 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period, or $485.6 million for the 2018periods, compared to revenue of $271.3 million for the 2017 Predecessor Period. Excluding the revenue of GES, revenue for the aggregated 2018 Successor Periodand the 2018 Predecessor Period would have been $389.2 million. The table below presents our revenue by segment for the periods indicated: (In US$ thousands, except share data and per share amounts) Predecessor (NPS) Description Period fromJune 7to December 31,2018 Period fromJanuary 1to June 6,2018 Year endedDecember 31,2017 Reportable Segment: Production Services $215,791 $112,295 $228,763 Drilling and Evaluation Services 132,799 24,732 42,561 Total revenue 348,590 137,027 271,324 Production Services revenue was $215.8 million for the 2018 Successor Period and $112.3 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period, or $328.1 million the2018 periods, compared to revenue of $228.8 million for the 2017 Predecessor Period. Excluding the revenue of GES, revenue for the aggregated 2018 SuccessorPeriod and the 2018 Predecessor Period would have been $287.0 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher coil tubing and stimulation activitiesin Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates. Drilling and Evaluation Services revenue was $132.8 million for the 2018 Successor Period and $24.7 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period, or $157.5million the 2018 periods, compared to revenue of $42.6 million for the 2017 Predecessor Period. Excluding the revenue of GES, revenue for the aggregated 2018Successor Period and the 2018 Predecessor Period would have been $102.2 million. The increase was primarily driven by strong well testing and logging activityin Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Cost of services. Cost of services was $249.2 million for the 2018 Successor Period, $104.2 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period and $200.1 millionfor the 2017 Predecessor Period. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue was 71%, 76% and 74% for the 2018 Successor Period, 2018 Predecessor Period,and 2017 Predecessor Period, respectively. The change in trend is due mainly to revenue mix between business lines with lower and higher margins. Cost ofservices included depreciation of $33.0 million, $17.3 million and $37.8 million for the 2018 Successor Period, 2018 Predecessor Period and the 2017 PredecessorPeriod, respectively. Gross profit. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue in the 2018 Successor Period, the 2018 Predecessor Period and the 2017 Predecessor Periodwas 29%, 24% and 26%, respectively. The change in trend is described above. 40 Selling, general and administrative expense. SG&A expense, which represents costs associated with managing and supporting our operations, was $36.7million, $20.0 million and $30.3 million for the 2018 Successor Period, 2018 Predecessor Period and the 2017 Predecessor Period, respectively. As a percentage ofrevenue, SG&A expenses were 11%, 15% and 11% of revenue, respectively. The reduction of expenses as percentage of revenue for the 2018 Successor Period isprimarily due to integration cost savings realized following the Business Combination, along with revenue growth. Amortization expense. Amortization expense was $9.4 million, negligible and $0.6 million for the 2018 Successor Period, 2018 Predecessor Period andthe 2017 Predecessor Period, respectively. Amortization expense dropped significantly during the 2018 Predecessor Period as a result of legacy contract intangiblesbeing fully amortized during 2017. The increase in the 2018 Successor Period amortization was driven mainly by recording the valuation of our acquired intangibleassets resulting from the Business Combination. Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, was $14.4 million, $4.1 million and $6.7 million for the 2018 Successor Period, 2018 Predecessor Period andthe 2017 Predecessor Period, respectively. The relative increase in trend was attributable to both higher LIBOR rates and higher fixed interest charges on theMurabaha bank loan, in addition to incremental interest charges arising on our bridge loan facility which was drawn down in early February 2018 and the HanaLoan which was incurred during the 2018 Successor Period to finance a portion of the consideration for the Business Combination. Other (expense) income, net. Other (expense) income, net, was $5.4 million, $0.4 million and ($0.6) million for the 2018 Successor Period, 2018Predecessor Period and the 2017 Predecessor Period, respectively. Other expenses decreased due to higher legal fees incurred during 2017 in connection with therenewal of bank facilities. Other income of $5.7 million was recorded in the 2018 Successor Period as a result of equity stock earn-out on purchase priceconsideration to previous shareholders. Income tax. Income tax expense was $9.4 million for the 2018 Successor Period compared to $2.3 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period and $4.6million for the 2017 Predecessor Period. The increase is primarily related to a change in the tax applied in Saudi Arabia (changing from Zakat to a Corporate Taxregime) as well as additional business in Oman where the inclusion of GES in the 2018 Successor Period has significantly increased our presence. See Note 17,Income taxes, to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 18, “Financial Statements” of this Annual Report. Net income. Net income was $35.0 million, $6.7 million and $28.4 million for the 2018 Successor Period, 2018 Predecessor Period and the 2017Predecessor Period, respectively. Supplemental Segment EBITDA Discussion. Our management uses Segment EBITDA as its principal measure of segment operating performance (inthousands). (In US$ thousands, except share data and per share amounts) Predecessor (NPS) Description Period fromJune 7to December 31,2018 Period fromJanuary 1to June 6,2018 Year endedDecember 31,2017 Reportable Segment: Production Services $77,482 $36,836 $81,780 Drilling and Evaluation Services 32,782 3,267 4,952 Production Services EBITDA was $77.5 million for the 2018 Successor Period and $36.8 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period, or $114.3 million forthe 2018 periods, as compared to $81.8 million for the 2017 Predecessor Period. The increase in Segment EBITDA was due primarily to higher coil tubing activityin Saudi, Qatar, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates. Drilling and Evaluation Services EBITDA was $32.8 million for the 2018 Successor Period and $3.3 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period, or $36.0million for the 2018 periods, as compared to $4.9 million for the 2017 Predecessor Period. The increase in Segment EBITDA was driven by strong well testingactivities in Saudi and Iraq. 41 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates We have defined a critical accounting estimate as one that is both important to the portrayal of either our financial condition or results of operations andrequires us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates about matters that are uncertain. We believe that the following are the criticalaccounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. There are other items within our consolidated financial statements thatrequire estimation and judgment, but they are not deemed critical as defined above. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with ourconsolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report. Goodwill Goodwill is the excess cost of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Thegoodwill relating to each reporting unit is tested for impairment annually as well as when an event, or change in circumstances, indicates an impairment may haveoccurred. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances require. We perform a qualitative assessment to determinewhether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the applicable reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we determine, as a result of its qualitativeassessment, that it is not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the applicable reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, no further testing is required. If wedetermine, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the applicable reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,a goodwill impairment assessment is performed using a two-step, fair value-based test. Under the first step, goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing thecarrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets (including allocated goodwill) to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting units isdetermined using a discounted cash flow approach. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptionsinclude revenue growth rates, discount rates operating margins, weighted average costs of capital, market share and future market conditions, among others. If thereporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its fair value, a second step is performed whereby the implied fair value of goodwill is estimated by allocating the fairvalue of the reporting unit in a hypothetical purchase price allocation analysis. If the amount of goodwill resulting from this hypothetical purchase price allocationis less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the recorded carrying value of goodwill is written down to the implied fair value. Intangible assets Our intangible assets with finite lives consist of customer contracts and trademarks and trade names acquired in connection with the Business Combination.The cost of intangible assets with finite lives is amortized over the estimated period of economic benefit, ranging from eight to 10 years. Asset lives are adjustedwhenever there is a change in the estimated period of economic benefit. No residual value has been assigned to these intangible assets. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Theseconditions may include a change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used or a change in future operations. We assess the recoverability of thecarrying amount by preparing estimates of future revenue, margins, and cash flows. In reviewing for impairment, the carrying value of such assets is compared tothe estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If such cash flows are not sufficient to support theasset’s recorded value, an impairment charge is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. The determination of future cashflows as well as the estimated fair value of assets involves significant estimates on the part of management. If there is a material change in economic conditions orother circumstances influencing the estimate of future cash flows or fair value, we could be required to recognize impairment charges in the future. Fair value ofthese assets may be determined by a variety of methodologies, including discounted cash flow models. 42 Revenue recognition Effective December 31, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). The Company adopted thisASU using the modified retrospective adoption method. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements, no cumulative effect adjustment wasrecognized, and no contract assets or liabilities were recorded. The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers upon transfer of control of promised services to customers at an amount that reflects theconsideration it expects to receive in exchange of services. We typically receive “callouts” from our customers for specific services at specific customer locations,typically initiated by the receipt of a purchase/service order or similar document from the customer. Customer callouts request that the Company provide a “suiteof services” to fulfill the service order, encompassing personnel, use of Company equipment, and supplies required to perform the work. Rates for these servicesare defined in the Company’s contracts with customers. The term between invoicing and when the payment is due is typically 30-60 days. Revenue is recognized for each performance obligation when the customer obtains control of the service the Company is providing. For most services,control is obtained over time as (1) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as Companyemployees perform and (2) the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls. Revenue is recorded based on daily drilling logs,recognized at the standalone selling price of the services provided as reduced proportionately for management’s estimate of volume or early pay discount whereapplicable. Costs of obtaining a customer contract that are incremental and expected to be recovered are recognized as an asset. Costs are subsequently amortizedover the term of the contract or less if circumstances indicate that a shorter deferral period better matches these costs with the revenue they generate. Income taxes Income tax expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax. Interest and penalties relating to income tax are also included in the income taxexpense. Income tax is recognized in the statements of operations, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directlyin equity, in which case the related tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current tax is based on the taxable profit for the period.Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statements of operations because it is determined in accordance with the rules established by the applicabletaxation authorities. It therefore excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods as well as items that are never taxable ordeductible. Our liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and theircarrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except: ●where the deferred tax liability arises on the initial recognition of goodwill; ●where the deferred tax liability arises on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a Business Combination and, at the timeof the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and ●In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates and interests in joint arrangements, where we areable to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeablefuture.Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it isprobable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax lossescan be utilized except where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in atransaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. In respect of deductibletemporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates and interests in joint arrangements, deferred tax assets are recognized only to theextent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporarydifferences can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficienttaxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. The computation of our income tax expense and liability involves the interpretation of applicable tax laws and regulations in many jurisdictionsthroughout the world. The resolution of tax positions taken by us, through negotiations with relevant tax authorities or through litigation, can take several years tocomplete and in some cases it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome. Therefore, judgment is required to determine provisions for income taxes. In addition, wehave carry-forward tax losses and tax credits in certain taxing jurisdictions that are available to offset against future taxable profit. However, deferred tax assets arerecognized only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses or tax credits can be utilized. Managementjudgment is exercised in assessing whether this is the case and estimates are required to be made of the amount of future taxable profits that will be available. 43 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Please refer to Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 18, “Financial Statements” of this Annual Report for a discussion of recentaccounting pronouncements and their anticipated impact. B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our objective in financing our business is to maintain sufficient liquidity, adequate financial resources and financial flexibility to fund the requirements ofour business. We had cash and cash equivalents of $73.2 million as of December 31, 2019 and $24.9 million as of December 31, 2018. Our outstanding long-termdebt was $330.6 million as of December 31, 2019 and $225.2 million as of December 31, 2018. We believe that our cash on hand, cash flows generated fromoperations, and liquidity available through our credit facilities, including recently drawn facilities, will provide sufficient liquidity to manage our global cash needs.See “Capital Resources” below. Cash Flows (In US$ thousands, except share data and per share amounts) Successor (NESR) Predecessor (NPS) Period fromJanuary 1to December 31,2019 Period fromJune 7to December 31,2018 Period fromJanuary 1to June 6,2018 Year endedDecember 31,2017 Cash provided by (used in): Operating Activities $89,091 $40,840 $20,826 $83,193 Investing Activities (107,338) (66,588) (7,916) (52,042)Financing Activities 66,575 50,594 (5,740) (32,138)Effect of exchange rate changes on cash (19) - (16) (45)Net change in cash and cash equivalents $48,309 $24,846 $7,154 $(1,032) Operating Activities Cash flows provided by operating activities were $89.1 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of$20.8 million for the 2018 Predecessor Period and $40.8 million for the 2018 Successor Period, or $61.7 million in total for the 2018 periods. Cash flows fromoperating activities increased by $27.4 million in the 2019 Successor Period compared to the 2018 periods, primarily due to the impact of higher depreciation andamortization in the 2019 Successor Period and the inclusion of GES throughout the 2019 Successor Period as compared to the 2018 periods, which only includesGES for part of the year. Investing Activities Cash flows used in investing activities were $107.3 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $7.9 millionfor the 2018 Predecessor Period and $66.6 for the 2018 Successor Period, or $74.5 million in total for the 2018 periods. The difference between periods wasprimarily due to the change in timing of cash payments for capital expenditures. Our principal recurring investing activity is the funding of capital expenditures toensure that we have the appropriate levels and types of machinery and equipment in place to generate revenue from operations. Financing Activities Cash flows provided by financing activities were $66.6 million for the 2019 Successor Period compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $5.8million for the 2018 Predecessor Period and cash flows provided by financing activities of $50.6 million for the 2018 Successor Period, or cash flows provided byfinancing activities of $44.9 million in total for the 2018 periods. In the 2019 Successor Period as compared to the 2018 periods, the Company’s choice offinancing shifted from a mixture of debt and equity to only debt. While equity was used in the 2018 Successor Period to finance the Business Combination, thistransaction type has not reoccur in the 2019 Successor Period. Additionally, a dividend to the former owners of NPS in the Predecessor Period did not reoccur in2019. 44 Credit Facilities As of and after December 31, 2019, we had the following principal credit facilities and instruments outstanding or available: Secured Facilities Agreement On May 5, 2019, the Company entered into a $450.0 million term loan, revolving credit, and working capital facilities agreement (the “Secured FacilitiesAgreement”) with Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (“APICORP”) – Bahrain Banking Branch, HSBC Bank Middle East Limited (“HSBC”), MashreqbankPSC and Saudi British Bank acting as initial mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, Mashreqbank PSC acting as global agent, APICORP and MashreqbankPSC acting as security agents, NPS Bahrain for Oil & Gas Wells Services WLL (“NPS Bahrain”) and its Kuwait branch, Gulf Energy SAOC and NationalPetroleum Technology Company as borrowers, and HSBC, Mashreqbank PSC, APICORP and Saudi British Bank, as the “Lenders.” Upon consummation of thistransaction, with the exception of a $30.4 million working capital facility with HSBC, described below, the Company settled all of its existing debt obligations asof May 5, 2019 and wrote-off remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.8 million as of that date. On May 23, 2019 and June 20, 2019, the Company entered into $35.0 million and $40.0 million Incremental Facilities Agreements, respectively,increasing the size of the Secured Facilities Agreement to $485.0 million and $525.0 million, respectively. The $525.0 million Secured Facilities Agreement consists of a $300.0 million term loan due 2025 (the “Term Loan” or “Secured Term Loan”), a $65.0million revolving credit facility due 2023 (“RCF” or “Secured Revolving Credit Facility”), and a $160.0 million working capital facility. Borrowings under theTerm Loan and RCF incur interest at the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.4% to 2.7% per annum, varying based on the Company’s Net Debt / EBITDA ratio asdefined in the agreement. As of December 31, 2019, this results in an interest rate of 4.3%. The Company has drawn $300.0 million of the Term Loan and $50.0million of the RCF as of December 31, 2019. The RCF was obtained for general corporate and working capital purposes including capital expenditure related requirements and acquisitions (includingtransaction related expenses). The RCF requires the payment of a commitment fee each quarter. The commitment fee is computed at the rate of 0.60% per annumbased on the average daily amount by which the borrowing base exceeds the outstanding borrowings during each quarter. Under the terms of the RCF, the finalsettlement is due by May 6, 2023. The Company is required to repay the amount of any principal balance outstanding together with any unpaid accumulatedinterest at three-month LIBOR plus 2.4% to 2.7% per annum, varying based on the Company’s Net Debt / EBITDA ratio as defined in the agreement. TheCompany is permitted to make any prepayment under this RCF in multiples of $5.0 million during this 4-year period up to May 6, 2023. Any unutilized balancesfrom the RCF can be drawn down again during the 4-year tenure at the same terms. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has $15.0 million available to bedrawn under the RCF. 45 The Secured Facilities Agreement also includes a working capital facility of $160.0 million for issuance of letters of guarantee and letters of credit andrefinancing letters of credit over a period of one year, which carries an interest rate equal to three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR for the applicable interest period, plusa margin of 1.00% to 1.25% per annum. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had utilized $134.2 million under this working capital facility and the balance of$25.8 million was available to the Company. The Company has also retained legacy bilateral working capital facilities from HSBC totaling $30.4 million in Qatar ($16.4 million), in UAE ($13.9million) and Kuwait ($0.1 million). As of December 31, 2019, the Company had utilized $24.1 million under this working capital facility and the balance of $6.3million was available to the Company. Utilization of the working capital facilities under both the legacy arrangement and Secured Facilities Agreement comprises letters of credit issued tovendors, guarantees issued to customers, vendors, and others, and short-term borrowings used to settle letters of credit. Once a letter of credit is presented forpayment by the vendor, the Company at its election can settle the letter of credit from available cash or leverage short-term borrowings that will be repaid quarterlyover a one-year period. Until a letter of credit is presented for payment by the vendor, it is disclosed as an off-balance sheet obligation. For additional discussion ofoutstanding letters of credit and guarantees, see Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 18, “FinancialStatements” of this Annual Report. The Secured Facilities Agreement includes covenants that specify maximum leverage (Net Debt / EBITDA) up to 3.50, minimum debt service coverageratio (Cash Flow / Debt Service) of at least 1.25, and interest coverage (EBITDA / Interest) of at least 4.00. The Company is in compliance with all financialcovenants as of December 31, 2019. 46 Capital Resources In the next twelve months, we believe cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and available credit facilities, including those of our subsidiaries,will provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to manage our working capital needs, meet contractual obligations, fund capital expenditures andmergers and acquisitions, and support the development of our short-term operating strategies. Although varying in approach by jurisdiction, the Company is able tomake use of excess cash generated in a particular jurisdiction to fund cash needs of other jurisdictions. We plan to pursue strategic acquisitions as an element of our business strategy. The timing, size or success of any acquisition and the associated potentialcapital commitments are unpredictable and uncertain. We may seek to fund all or part of any such acquisition with proceeds from debt or equity issuances, or mayissue equity directly to the sellers, in any such acquisition, or any combination thereof. Our ability to obtain capital for strategic acquisitions will depend on ourfuture operating performance, financial condition and, more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing. Capital availability will be affected byprevailing conditions in our industry, the global economy, the global financial markets and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, anyadditional debt service requirements we take on could be based on higher interest rates and shorter maturities and could impose a significant burden on our resultsof operations and financial condition, and the issuance of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to our shareholders. Other Factors Affecting Liquidity Customer receivables. In line with industry practice, we bill our customers for our services in arrears and are, therefore, subject to our customers delaying orfailing to pay our invoices. In weak economic environments, we may experience increased delays and failures to pay our invoices due to, among other reasons, areduction in our customers’ cash flow from operations and their access to the credit markets as well as unsettled political conditions. If our customers delay payingor fail to pay us a significant amount of our outstanding receivables, it could have a material impact on our liquidity, consolidated results of operations andconsolidated financial condition. Shelf registration statement. On August 23, 2019, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 with the Securities and ExchangeCommission (the “SEC”). On September 13, 2019, the SEC declared the shelf registration statement effective. The shelf registration statement gives the Companythe ability to sell up to $300.0 million of the Company’s ordinary shares from time to time in one or more offerings. The specific terms, including the amount, ofany ordinary shares to be sold in such an offering, if it does occur, would be described in supplemental filings with the SEC. The shelf registration statementcurrently provides the Company additional flexibility with regard to potential financings that it may undertake when market conditions permit. The shelfregistration statement will expire in 2022. For other matters affecting liquidity, see Item 5E, “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” below. Capital Expenditure Commitments The Company was committed to incur capital expenditures of $22.1 million and $25.9 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Commitmentsoutstanding as of December 31, 2019 are expected to be settled during 2020. 47 C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC. We own and control a variety of intellectual property, including but not limited to proprietary information and software tools and applications that, in theaggregate, are material to our business. No individual instance of intellectual property is material to the Company. D. TREND INFORMATION Global E&P Trends and Oil Prices See “– Global E&P Trends and Oil Prices” included in Item 5A, “Operating Results”. E. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS Letters of credit. The Company has outstanding letters of credit amounting to $21.2 million and $10.3 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,respectively. Guarantee agreements. In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, we have entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, such assurety bonds for performance, and other bank issued guarantees, including cash margin guarantees, which totaled $99.1 million and $41.4 million as of December31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We have also entered into cash margin guarantees totaling $5.8 million at December 31, 2019. A liability is accrued when a loss isboth probable and can be reasonably estimated. None of the off-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our consolidatedfinancial statements. F. TABULAR DISCLOSURE OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS The table below summarizes the payments due by fiscal year for our outstanding contractual obligations as of December 31, 2019. Certain amountsincluded in this table are based on our estimates and assumptions about these obligations, including their duration, anticipated actions by third parties and otherfactors.

Currently, the cash compensation for each member of seniormanagement is comprised of base salary, annual cash incentive (bonus), and long-term equity incentive, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued pursuant to our2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). During the year ended December 31, 2019, the aggregate cash compensation paid to all current members of seniormanagement as a group was $2.1 million. LTIP grants to all current members of senior management totaled $0.9 million. Sherif Foda in his capacity as CEOwaived receiving stock awards in both 2018 and 2019 in order to increase the number of shares available to grant a broader pool of employees and has announcedhis intention to do so for 2020 as well. The compensation that we pay to our senior management is evaluated on an annual basis considering the following primary factors: position scope andresponsibilities, experience and individual performance, market data, financial targets, personal objectives, and execution on longer-term financial and strategicgoals that drive stockholder value creation. In addition, members of our senior management are eligible to participate in welfare benefit programs made availableto our workforce generally, including medical, dental, life insurance and disability benefits. We believe that the compensation awarded to our senior managementis consistent with that of our peers and similarly situated companies in the industry in which we operate. Directors Our Director compensation philosophy is to appropriately compensate our non-employee Directors for their services as a Director of a complex multi-national company. The compensation structure should align the interests of Directors and shareholders. Directors who are also employees of NESR do not receivecompensation for serving on the Board. We believe that our Director fee structure is customary and reasonable and consistent with that of our peers and similarlysituated companies in the industry in which we operate. All non-employee Directors received an annual retainer of $50,000, paid in quarterly installments, and pro-rated for the partial year of service. In addition, thechairs of the Compensation and Nomination Committee receive an additional $15,000 annual retainer and the chair of the Audit Committee receives an annualretainer of $20,000, paid in quarterly installments, and pro-rated for the partial year of service. Non-employee Directors are permitted to waive Director’s fees.Additionally, all non-employee Directors received an annual equity award with a value of approximately $100,000, consisting of restricted shares that vest overone year. The actual number of restricted shares issued is calculated by dividing the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq exchange on the date ofgrant. All shares are awarded under the LTIP and follow all the terms and conditions of the LTIP. Non-employee Directors are permitted to waive Director’s equityawards.

While the previous Boardgrant occurred in November of 2018, the Board delayed the current grant to the first quarter of 2020 and increased its value by $25,000 (representing theone quarter delay) to place these awards on the same vesting timing as employee awards. 53 Equity and Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plans On May 18, 2018, our shareholders approved the LTIP, effective upon the closing of the Business Combination. A total of 5,000,000 ordinary shares arereserved for issuance under the LTIP. The board of directors approved the LTIP on February 9, 2018, including the performance criteria upon which performancegoals may be based. The purpose of the LTIP is to enhance our ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions toNESR by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities. The Company intends to use share-based awards to reward long-term performance ofemployees. The Company believes that providing a meaningful portion of the total compensation package in the form of share-based awards will align theincentives of its executive officers with the interests of its shareholders and serve to motivate and retain the broader workforce. The company has established a strong culture of stock award to all its top performers. The plan includes all employees at all levels. The program isdesigned to award up to 200% of the annual income as LTIP for achieving certain stretch goals and incentivizes everyone to contribute and excel. The 200%annual salary cap is applicable to all employees equally and includes the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the senior executive officers of theCompany. As mentioned earlier, the Chief Executive Officer waived his LTIP compensation for 2018 and 2019 to increase the pool of award to a wider range ofemployees. During the 2019 Successor Period, the Company awarded 1,184,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the LTIP at a value of $11.7 million. The RSUswere allocated to the recipients at a weighted average grant date fair value of $9.86 per share and vest ratably on an annual basis over a 3-year period (1/3 of theshares vest at the anniversary of the grant date) for employees and over a 1-year period for members of our Board of Directors. Expense related to share-basedcompensation of $5.6 million and $1.0 million was recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the 2019 Successor Period and 2018 Successor Period,respectively.

The Company provides defined benefit plan of severance pay to the eligible employees. The severance pay plan provides for a lump sum payment toemployees on separation (retirement, resignation, death while in employment or on termination of employment) of an amount based upon the employees last drawnsalary and length of service, subject to the completion of minimum service period (1-2 years) and taking into account the provisions of local applicable law or asper employee contract.

BVI laws and the Charter impose no limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold the Company’s securities or vote theCompany’s ordinary shares. E. TAXATION NESR is a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands which imposes a zero percent statutory corporate income tax rate on incomegenerated outside of the British Virgin Islands. The Subsidiaries operate in multiple tax jurisdictions throughout the MENA and Asia Pacific regions wherestatutory tax rates generally vary from 12% to 35%. The brief description below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to you if you are a beneficial owner of shares and,for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation, or any other entity taxable as a corporation,organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxregardless of its source, or (4) a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorizedto control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has in effect a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. U.S. Federal Income Taxation The following summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be applicable to U.S. Holders in light of their particularcircumstances or to investors who are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, including U.S. expatriates, insurance companies, banks,regulated investment companies, securities broker-dealers, financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, persons holding shares as part of a straddle, hedging,constructive sale, or conversion transaction, persons subject to the foreign tax credit splitting events rules, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, personswho acquired their shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, U.S. Holders having a functional currency other thanthe U.S. dollar, persons owning (directly, indirectly or by attribution) 10% or more of our outstanding share capital or voting stock and persons not holding theshares as capital assets (generally, property held for investment). This discussion also does not address the consequences of the Medicare tax on net investmentincome or any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. tax law or any other aspect of U.S. federal taxation other than income taxation. If a partnership or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes owns shares, the U.S. federal income taxtreatment of a partner in such a partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partnership that owns sharesand the partners in such partnership should consult their own tax advisers about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of ordinaryshares. Prospective purchasers are urged to consult their own tax advisers about the application of the U.S. federal tax rules to their particular circumstances aswell as the state, local, foreign and other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our shares. Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on our Shares Subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below, the gross amount of distributions paid by us to U.S. Holders withrespect to the shares (including the amount of any taxes withheld therefrom) will generally be includable in your gross income as dividend income on the date ofreceipt, but only to the extent that the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income taxprinciples). To the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal incometax principles), it will be treated first as a tax-free return of your tax basis in your shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds your tax basis, theexcess will be taxed as capital gain. We do not intend to calculate our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, a U.S. Holdershould expect that a distribution will be treated as a dividend even if that distribution would otherwise be treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gainunder the rules described above. With respect to corporate U.S. Holders, the dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed tocorporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. 67 With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individual U.S. Holders, dividends will be taxed at the lower capital gains rate applicable toqualified dividend income, provided that (1) the shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or we are eligible for thebenefits of an approved qualifying income tax treaty with the United States that includes an exchange of information program, (2) we are not a PFIC (as discussedbelow) for either our taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period requirements are met. Pursuant to IRSauthority, shares are considered for the purpose of clause (1) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States if they are listedon the Nasdaq. You are urged to consult your own tax adviser regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to our shares, includingthe effects of any change in law after the date of this annual report. Dividends will constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. If the dividends are taxed as qualified dividend income (asdiscussed above), the amount of the dividend taken into account for purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation will be limited to the gross amount ofthe dividend, multiplied by the reduced rate divided by the highest rate of tax normally applicable to dividends. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit iscalculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by us with respect to our shares will constitute “passivecategory income” but could, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, constitute “general category income.” Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition Upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference betweenthe U.S. dollar value of the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars,in the shares. Any gain or loss recognized upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the shares will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if, atthe time of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition, the holding period of the shares exceeds one year. In the case of individual U.S. Holders, capital gainsgenerally are subject to U.S. federal income tax at preferential rates if specified minimum holding periods are met. The deductibility of capital losses by a U.S.Holder is subject to significant limitations. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisers in this regard. 68 Passive Foreign Investment CompanyA non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year if (i) at least 75% of its gross income consists of passive income, (such asdividends, interest, rents, royalties (other than rents or royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business and received from an unrelated person) andgains on the disposition of certain minority interests or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of its assets consist of assets that produce or are held for theproduction of, passive income. We currently believe that we were not a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2019 and we do not expect to be classifiedas a PFIC in the foreseeable future. However, this conclusion is a factual determination that must be made at the close of each year and is based on, among otherthings, a valuation of our shares and assets, which will likely change from time to time. If we were characterized as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holderwould suffer adverse tax consequences. These consequences may include having the gains that are realized on the disposition of shares treated as ordinary incomerather than capital gains and being subject to punitive interest charges with respect to certain dividends and gains and on the sale or other disposition of the shares.Furthermore, dividends paid by a PFIC are not eligible to be treated as qualified dividend income (as discussed above). In addition, if a U.S. Holder holds shares inany year in which we are treated as a PFIC, such U.S. Holder will be subject to additional tax form filing and reporting requirements. Application of the PFIC rules is complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to theownership of our shares. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Dividend payments with respect to our shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our shares may be subject to information reportingto the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding at a current rate of 24%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correcttaxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required toestablish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification). U.S.Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, andyou may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishingany required information. We do not intend to withhold taxes on dividends paid for individual shareholders. Certain U.S. Holders are required to report information relating to shares of a foreign corporation, subject to certain exceptions (including an exceptionfor shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938, (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets)with their tax return for each year in which they hold shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. informationreporting and backup withholding rules. F. DIVIDENDS AND PAYING AGENTS Not applicable. G.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION Not applicable. ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Foreign Currency Risk We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include transactions denominated in currencies otherthan a location’s functional currency. U.S. dollar balances held by entities in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Qatar are not considered to representsignificant currency risk as the respective currencies in these countries are pegged to the U.S. dollar. Our foreign currency risk arises from the settlement oftransactions in currencies other than our functional currency, such as Algerian Dinar, Libyan Dinar, Indian Rupee and Indonesian Rupiah. However, customercontracts in these countries are largely denominated in U.S. dollars. 69 Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument may fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. We areexposed to credit risk on our accounts receivable and other receivables and certain other assets (such as bank balances) as reflected in our consolidated balancesheet, with the maximum exposure equaling the carrying amount of these assets in the consolidated balance sheet. We seek to manage our credit risk with respectto banks by only dealing with reputable banks (our cash and cash equivalents are primarily held with banks and financial institution counterparties that are rated A1to Baa3, based on Moody’s ratings) and with respect to customers by monitoring outstanding receivables and following up on outstanding balances. Managementalso considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of the industry and the country in which our customersoperate. We sell our services to a variety of customers, mainly to national oil companies in the MENA and Asia Pacific regions. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that we may not be able to meet our financial obligations as they fall due. Our approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, asfar as possible, that we will always have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurringunacceptable costs or liabilities. We maintain cash flow forecasts to monitor our liquidity position. Accounts payable are normally settled within the terms of purchase from the supplier. We believe cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities andthe available credit facility will provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to manage our working capital needs, meet contractual obligations, fundcapital expenditures, and support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies. Market Risk We are exposed to market risks primarily from changes in interest rates on our long-term borrowings as well as fluctuations in foreign currency exchangerates applicable to our foreign subsidiaries and where local exchange rates are not pegged to the U.S. dollar (such as Algeria, Libya and Iraq). However, the foreignexchange risk is largely mitigated by the fact that most customer contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars or in currencies that trade at a fixed exchange rate withthe U.S. dollar. We do not use derivatives for trading purposes, to generate income or to engage in speculative activity. ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES A.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed inour reports that we submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported withinthe time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our ChiefExecutive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure. In designing and evaluating thedisclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, notabsolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls canprovide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with a company have been detected. Based on their evaluation, our Chief ExecutiveOfficer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934, as amended), were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report due to a material weakness in our internal controlover financial reporting described below. B. MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term isdefined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, theissuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s board of directors,management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements forexternal purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures which (a) pertain to the maintenance ofrecords that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company, (b) provide reasonable assurance thattransactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receiptsand expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors of the Company, and (c)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect onthe financial statements. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is areasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted anevaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committeeof Sponsoring Organizations of The Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013), our managementconcluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2019 due to a material weakness in our internal control overfinancial reporting described below. 71 Status of Material Weaknesses Remediation As discussed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 20-F, in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December31, 2018, management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control overfinancial reporting. It was concluded that the Company did not maintain an effective control environment over its financial reporting process by providingsufficient resources and technical expertise over accounting for income taxes and preparation of the statement of cash flows, in accordance with ASC 740 and ASC230, respectively. The operators of review controls over accounting for income taxes and preparation of the statement of cash flows did not have sufficientinformation to perform an effective review to ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP. Specific observations contributing to this material weakness include: 1) duringthe course of the year-end financial close for 2018, our auditors identified adjustments related to certain income tax accounts and 2) the Company did not havetimely management review controls over the statement of cash flows to verify the completeness and adequacy of information prior to presentation of theinformation to the independent auditors. Additionally, in connection with the preparation of our Subsidiaries’ consolidated financial statements as of and for theyears ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, management of NPS and GES separately identified material weaknesses in internal controls over their financialreporting. Specifically, both had deficiencies in the financial statement close process with a cited lack of U.S. GAAP reporting expertise. Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee, identified the following measures to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and toaddress the identified material weaknesses described above. ●Preparation of the Statement of Cash Flows ○Disaggregated preparation of cash flow worksheet to subsidiary level from consolidated level to improve precision of review controls; ○Implemented quarterly in-person review with local preparer and reviewer of each cash flow worksheet by experienced U.S. GAAP resource; ○Designed and implemented improved template to document calculations and support utilized to prepare cash flow worksheets; ○Added additional review by Chief Financial Officer, including quarterly forecast to actual comparisons for investing and financing activities. ●U.S. GAAP Reporting Expertise ○Hired additional personnel with U.S. GAAP reporting and accounting process expertise; ○Reorganized financial reporting organizational chart to ensure appropriate competence and authority amongst control operators; ○Adjusted close and reporting timelines to allow additional time for controls to operate; ○Engaged third-party specialists for complex accounting areas such as valuations and accounting for certain income taxes; ●Accounting for Certain Income Taxes ○Implemented quarterly tax rollforward process to enhance data gathering from countries; ○Split Tax, Treasury, and Transactions role by hiring an experienced Tax and Treasury Director to improve bandwidth for supervision and review; ○Dedicated full time accounting resource to support Tax and Treasury Director; ○Hired globally recognized third-party to perform effective tax rate and income tax provision review each quarter. We are committed to continuous improvement and review of our internal control over financial reporting. As of December 31, 2019, we consider the materialweaknesses related to preparation of the statement of cash flows and U.S. GAAP expertise to be remediated. However, before we can conclude that the materialweakness related to the accounting for certain income taxes has been remediated and that the remediation efforts described above have been successful, furthertesting is required so that we can observe our newly designed and implemented controls operating effectively. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve ourinternal control over financial reporting, management, with oversight from our Audit Committee, may identify and implement additional measures to address thematerial weakness described above or to modify any of the remediation actions described above. Management, with oversight from our Audit Committee, willcontinue to review and make necessary changes to enhance the overall design and capability of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting asexpeditiously as possible. While management, with oversight from our Audit Committee, is closely monitoring the implementation of the remediation actionsdescribed above, we cannot provide any assurance that the remediation efforts will be successful or that internal control over financial reporting will be effective asa result of these efforts. 72 C. ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control overfinancial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, since, as an “emerginggrowth company,” we are exempt from having our independent auditor assess our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will remain an emerging growth company for the first five fiscal years after our initial public offering unless any of the following occur (1) our totalannual gross revenues are $1.07 billion or more, (2) we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt over a three year period, or (3) we become a “largeaccelerated filer” as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 12b-2. D. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Except for the remediation of the previously identified material weaknesses associated with the preparation of the statement of cash flows and U.S. GAAPexpertise discussed above, there were no other changes in internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2019 that have materiallyaffected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Boone Title:Chief Financial Officer Date:March 17, 2020 77 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and Board of DirectorsNational Energy Services Reunited Corp.: Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of National Energy Services Reunited Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31,2019 and 2018 (Successor Company balance sheets), the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cashflows for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the period from June 7, 2018 to December 31, 2018 (Successor Company operations), and of NPS HoldingsLimited for the period from January 1, 2018 to June 6, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 (Predecessor Company operations), and the related notes(collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financialposition of the Successor Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019and the period June 6, 2018 to December 31, 2018 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Further, in our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and its cash flows of the Predecessor Company for the period from January 1,2018 to June 6, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidatedfinancial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required tohave, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding ofinternal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financialreporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS National Energy Services Reunited Corp. (“NESR,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or similar terms) is one of the largest oilfield services providers inthe MENA region. Formed in January 2017, NESR started as a special purpose acquisition company, SPAC, designed to invest in the oilfield services space globally. NESRfiled a registration statement for its initial public offering in May 2017. In November 2017, NESR announced the acquisition of two oilfield services companies inthe MENA region: NPS Holdings Limited (“NPS”) and Gulf Energy S.A.O.C. (“GES” and, together with NPS, the “Subsidiaries”). The formation of NESR as anoperating entity was completed on June 7, 2018, after the transactions were approved by the SEC and NESR shareholders. Revenues are primarily derived from helping customers unlock the full potential of their reservoirs by providing Production Services such as Cementing,Coiled Tubing, Filtration, Completions, Stimulation, Pumping and Nitrogen Services. The Company also helps its customers to access their reservoirs in a smarterand faster manner by providing Drilling and Evaluation Services such as Drilling Downhole Tools, Directional Drilling, Fishing Tools, Testing Services, Wireline,Slickline, Fluids and Rig Services. The Company has significant operations throughout the MENA region including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Iraq, Algeria, andKuwait. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America (“US GAAP”). All amounts are shown in U.S. dollars, except as noted. On June 6, 2018, NESR acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Business Combination”). TheBusiness Combination was accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combination. Pursuant to ASC 805, NESR wasdetermined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the facts and circumstances including: ●The transfer of cash by NESR; ●NESR’s executive management comprise the C-Suite of the combined company; ●NESR’s right to designate members of the board; and ●NESR initiated the Business Combination. 85 As a result of the Business Combination, NPS and GES were acquirees and NPS was determined to be the accounting “Predecessor”. NPS was determinedto be the accounting “Predecessor” as the Company expects to use the NPS platform to grow the business as it operates throughout the Middle East and Africawhereas GES is concentrated in Oman. Further, the market size of countries where NPS is operating is much larger than that of GES and the valuation and pricepaid for NPS was higher than that of GES. The Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes a Predecessor for periods prior to the Closing Date.NESR is the “Successor” for periods after the Closing Date, which includes the consolidated financial results of both NPS and GES. The transactions wereaccounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting forboth NPS and GES that is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. See Note 4, Business Combination, for further discussion on theBusiness Combination. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the Closing Date, the financial statements for the predecessorperiods and for the successor period are presented on a different basis of accounting and are, therefore, not comparable. The historical information of NESR priorto the Business Combination has not been reflected in the Company’s financial statements prior to June 7, 2018, as it was not deemed the Predecessor. Statementof operations activity of NESR, being nominal in nature, prior to the closing of the Business Combination were recorded in the opening retained earnings as ofJune 7, 2018 and not presented separately. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the successor periods are from June 7, 2018 to December 31, 2018 (“2018 Successor Period”) andJanuary 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (“2019 Successor Period”), and the predecessor periods are from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 (“2017 PredecessorPeriod”) and January 1, 2018 to June 6, 2018 (“2018 Predecessor Period”). Emerging growth company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”), asmodified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from variousreporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required tocomply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accountingstandards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securitiesregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that acompany can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any suchelection to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revisedand it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at thetime private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make a comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another publiccompany that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult orimpossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectthe reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reportedamounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include estimates made towards purchase price allocation forthe acquisition of NPS and GES, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, estimated usefullife of property plant and equipment and intangible assets, provision for inventories obsolescence, recoverability of unbilled revenue, provision for unrecognizedtax benefits, recoverability of deferred taxes and contingencies and actuarial assumptions in employee benefit plans. 86 Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition,situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, couldchange in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from the estimates. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Consolidation The Company consolidates entities in which the Company has a majority voting interest and entities that meet the criteria for variable interest entities forwhich the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes. The Company eliminates intercompany transactions and accounts inconsolidation. The Company applies the equity method of accounting for an investment in an entity if it has the ability to exercise significant influence over theentity that (a) does not meet the variable interest entity criteria or (b) meets the variable interest entity criteria, but for which the Company is not deemed to be theprimary beneficiary. The Company applies the cost method of accounting for an investment in an entity if it does not have the ability to exercise significantinfluence over the unconsolidated entity. The Company separately presents within equity on the consolidated balance sheets the ownership interests attributable toparties with non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, and separately presents net income attributable to such parties on theconsolidated statements of operations. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Supplemental cash flow information Non-cash transactions were as follows for the 2019 Successor period: ●Purchases of property, plant, and equipment in accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings at December 31, 2019 of $21.7million, $3.0 million, and $29.3 million, respectively, are not included under “Capital expenditures” within the consolidated statement of cash flows. ●Non-cash additions to capital lease obligations of $33.7 million. ●Purchases of property, plant, and equipment using seller-provided installment financing of $3.0 million included in Other current liabilities and $3.0million in Other liabilities. Non-cash transactions were as follows for the 2018 Successor period: ●In connection the Business Combination in 2018, the Company issued ordinary shares valued at $544.4 million. ●In connection with the Hana Loan, which is described in Note 10, Debt, the Company paid a $0.6 million origination fee using ordinary shares.Additionally, in conjunction with the Hana Loan, as described in Note 15, Equity, the Company reimbursed Hana Investments for transaction feesand expenses in the amount of $2.1 million through the issuance of ordinary shares. ●Purchases of property, plant, and equipment in accounts payable and short-term debt at December 31, 2018 of $20.8 million and $14.7 million,respectively, are not included under “Capital expenditures” within the consolidated statement of cash flows. Income taxes The Company applies an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arecomputed for differences between the financial accounting and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in future deductible or taxable amounts and forcarryforwards, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the deductible or taxable temporary differences are expected to affect taxableincome. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company applies a recognition and measurement threshold for evaluating tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For thosebenefits to be recognized, a tax position, based solely on the technical merits, must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.Recognized tax positions are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. The Subsidiariesoperate in multiple tax jurisdictions in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia. The Company has provided for income taxes based on enacted tax laws and taxrates in effect in the countries where the Company operates and earns income. The income taxes in these jurisdictions vary substantially. The Company engages intransactions in which the tax consequences may be subject to uncertainty and examination by the varying taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required by theCompany’s management in assessing and estimating the tax consequences of these transactions. While the Company prepares tax returns based on interpretationsof tax laws and regulations, in the normal course of business the tax returns may be subject to examination by the various taxing authorities. Such examinationsmay result in future assessments of additional tax, interest and penalties. NESR classifies interest and penalties relating to an underpayment of income taxes withinincome tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Considerable judgment is involved in determining which tax positions are more likely than not tobe sustained. Net income per ordinary share Basic income per ordinary share was computed by dividing basic net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number ofordinary shares outstanding. Diluted income per ordinary share was computed by dividing diluted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding plus dilutive potential ordinary shares, if any. Dilutive potential ordinary shares include outstanding warrants orother contracts to issue ordinary stock and are determined by applying the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable, if dilutive. 87 Concentration of credit risk The Company’s assets that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and receivables from customers. The Company places itscash with financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one of them. The Company regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of the issuersin which it invests. The Company minimizes this credit risk by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties, limiting the exposure to eachcounterparty and monitoring the financial condition of its counterparties. Fair value of financial instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, accounts payable, loans andborrowings, contingent consideration and an embedded derivative. Other than the embedded derivative and contingent consideration, the fair value of theCompany’s financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in theaccompanying consolidated balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases thecategorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: ●Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ●Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets orliabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of theassets or liabilities. ●Level 3 - Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricingthe asset or liability. Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. No interest is charged on past-due balances. The Company grants credit to customersbased upon an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition. The Company periodically monitors the payment history and ongoing creditworthiness ofcustomers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing therequired allowances management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and the customer’s financial conditions, theamount of receivable in dispute, current receivables ageing and current payment patterns. Significant accounts receivable balances and balances that have beenoutstanding greater than 90 days are reviewed for collectability. Account balances, when determined to be uncollectable, are charged against the allowance. Service inventories The Company’s service inventory consists of spare parts, chemicals and raw materials to support ongoing operations which are held for the purpose ofservice contracts and are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost is based on the weighted average cost principle and includes expendituresincurred in acquiring the service inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less estimated costs of completion and selling expenses incurred inthe ordinary course of business. The Company determines reserves for service inventory based on historical usage of inventory on-hand, assumptions about future demand and marketconditions and estimates about potential alternative uses, which are limited. 88 Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment, inclusive of equipment under capital lease, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of ordinarymaintenance and repair is charged to operating expense, while replacement of critical components and major improvements that extend the life of the related assetare capitalized. Capital work in progress mainly represents costs incurred on drilling rigs and equipment that are in transit at the reporting date. No depreciation ischarged to capital work in progress. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful lifeas follows: Buildings and leasehold improvements5 to 25 years or the estimated lease period, whichever is shorterDrilling rigs, plant and equipment3 to 15 yearsFurniture and fixtures5 yearsOffice equipment and tools3 to 6 yearsVehicles and cranes5 to 8 years Equipment held under capital leases are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the underlying assetand the term of the lease. Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying valueof an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may indicate include, but are not limited to, matters such as a significant decline inmarket value or a significant change in business climate (“triggering events”). An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of an asset exceeds theestimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of impairment loss recognized is the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. In determining the fair market value of the assets,the Company considers market trends and recent transactions involving sales of similar assets, or when not available, discounted cash flow analysis. The Companyhas not recorded any impairment charges of property, plant and equipment in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for any of the periodspresented. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell. Upon sale or other disposition of an asset, theCompany recognizes a gain or loss on disposal measured as the difference between the net carrying value of the asset and the net proceeds received. Leases The Company leases certain facilities and equipment used in its operations. The Company evaluates and classifies its leases as operating or capital leasesfor financial reporting purposes. Assets held under capital leases are included in property, plant and equipment, net, on the consolidated balance sheets. Operatinglease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statements of operation. Goodwill Goodwill is the excess cost of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances require. The Company’s next annual test will occur onOctober 1, 2020. The Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the applicable reporting unitis less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of theapplicable reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, no further testing is required. If the Company determines, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it ismore-likely-than-not that the fair value of the applicable reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a goodwill impairment assessment is performed using atwo-step, fair-value based test. Under the first step, goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets(including allocated goodwill) to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting units is determined using a discounted cash flow approach.Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions includerevenue growth rates, discount rates, operating margins, weighted average costs of capital, market share and future market conditions, among others. If thereporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its fair value, a second step is performed whereby the implied fair value of goodwill is estimated by allocating the fairvalue of the reporting unit in a hypothetical purchase price allocation analysis. If the amount of goodwill resulting from this hypothetical purchase price allocationis less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the recorded carrying value of goodwill is written down to the implied fair value. The Company hasnot recorded any impairment charge for goodwill in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for any of the periods presented. 89 Intangible assets Intangible assets were identified that met either the separability criterion or the contractual-legal criterion described in ASC 805. The Company’sintangible assets with finite lives consist of customer contracts, trademarks and trade names. The cost of intangible assets with finite lives is amortized over theestimated period of economic benefit on a straight line basis, ranging from eight to ten years. Asset lives are adjusted whenever there is a change in the estimatedperiod of economic benefit. No residual value has been assigned to these intangible assets. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not berecoverable. These conditions may include a change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used or a change in future operations. The Companyassesses the recoverability of the carrying amount by preparing estimates of future revenue, margins and cash flows. If the sum of expected future cash flows(undiscounted) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amountexceeds the fair value. Fair value of these assets may be determined by a variety of methodologies, including discounted cash flow models. Employee benefits The Company provides defined benefit plan of severance pay to the eligible employees. The severance pay plan provides for a lump sum payment toemployees on separation (retirement, resignation, death while in employment or on termination of employment) of an amount based upon the employees last drawnsalary and length of service, subject to the completion of minimum service period (1-2 years) and taking into account the provisions of local applicable law or asper employee contract. The Company records annual amounts relating to these long-term employee benefits based on calculations that incorporate various actuarialand other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. The Company reviews itsassumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effect ofmodifications to those assumptions is recorded in the statement of income. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations underits plans are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions. The net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earnthese benefits. Contributions to a defined contribution retirement plan and occupational hazard insurance for Omani employees in accordance with the OmaniSocial Insurances Law are recognized as an expense as incurred. Commitments and contingencies The Company accrues for costs relating to litigation claims and other contingent matters, including liquidated damage liabilities, when such liabilitiesbecome probable and reasonably estimable. In circumstances where the most likely outcome of a contingency can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues aliability for that amount. Where the most likely outcome cannot be estimated, a range of potential losses is established and if no one amount in that range is morelikely than others, the low end of the range is accrued. Such estimates may be based on advice from third parties or on management’s judgment, as appropriate.Revisions to contingent liabilities are reflected in income in the period in which different facts or information become known or circumstances change that affectthe Company’s previous judgments with respect to the likelihood or amount of loss. Amounts paid upon the ultimate resolution of contingent liabilities may bematerially different from previous estimates and could require adjustments to the estimated reserves to be recognized in the period such new information becomesknown. Revenue recognition Effective December 31, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). The Company adopted thisASU using the modified retrospective adoption method. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements, no cumulative effect adjustment wasrecognized, and no contract assets or liabilities were recorded. The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers upon transfer of control of promised services to customers at an amount that reflects theconsideration it expects to receive in exchange of services. We typically receive “callouts” from our customers for specific services at specific customer locations,typically initiated by the receipt of a purchase/service order or similar document from the customer. Customer callouts request that the Company provide a “suiteof services” to fulfill the service order, encompassing personnel, use of Company equipment, and supplies required to perform the work. Rates for these servicesare defined in the Company’s contracts with customers. The term between invoicing and when the payment is due is typically 30-60 days. Revenue is recognized for each performance obligation when the customer obtains control of the service the Company is providing. For most services,control is obtained over time as (1) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as Companyemployees perform and (2) the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls. Revenue is recorded based on daily drilling logs,recognized at the standalone selling price of the services provided as reduced proportionately for management’s estimate of volume or early pay discount whereapplicable. Costs of obtaining a customer contract that are incremental and expected to be recovered are recognized as an asset. Costs are subsequently amortizedover the term of the contract or less if circumstances indicate that a shorter deferral period better matches these costs with the revenue they generate. 90 Segment information An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expensesand about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocateresources. Similar operating segments can be aggregated into a single operating segment if the businesses are similar. Management has determined that theCompany has two operating segments and two reportable segments, which reflects the manner in which the CODM operates the Company. The Company’sCODM is its Chief Executive Officer. Stock-based compensation arrangements The Company provides stock-based compensation in the form of restricted stock awards to members of its Board of Directors and employees. Awards areissued pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) and valued at their grant date fair value. Such awards qualify asparticipating securities as they have the right to participate in dividends issued on the Company’s ordinary shares, if any. Grants to members of the Company’sBoard of Directors are time-based and vest ratably over a 1-year period. Grants to Company employees are time-based and vest ratably over a 3-year period. Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars (“USD”), which is the functional and reporting currency of the Company. Themajority of the Company’s sales are denominated in USD. Each subsidiary of NESR determines its own functional currency and items included in the financialstatements of each subsidiary are measured using that functional currency. All financial information presented in USD is rounded to the nearest thousand, unlessotherwise indicated. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries at exchange rates at the dates of thetransactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate as of the reporting date.Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fairvalue was determined. Foreign currency differences are generally recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in aforeign currency are not translated. The assets and liabilities of entities whose functional currency is not the USD are translated into the USD at the exchange rate as of the reporting date.The income and expenses of such entities are translated into the USD using average exchange rates for the reporting period. Exchange differences on foreigncurrency translations are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Derivative financial instruments The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or containfeatures that qualify as an embedded derivative. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initiallyrecorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as other income (expense). 91 Recent accounting pronouncements As an emerging growth company, the Company has elected the option to defer the effective date for adoption of new or revised accounting guidance. Thisoption allows the Company to adopt new guidance on the effective date for entities that are not public business entities. Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted The Securities and Exchange Commission permits qualifying Emerging Growth Companies (“EGC”) to defer the adoption of accounting standardsupdates until the time when a private company would adopt. The Company continues to qualify as an EGC as of December 31, 2019. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases,” a newstandard on accounting for leases. This update increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities onthe balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates.” ASU No. 2019-10 deferred the Company’s adoptionof ASU 2016-02, as amended, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. TheCompany is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and related interpretive amendments (ASU 2018-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Land EasementPractical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842,” ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): TargetedImprovements,” ASU 2018-20, “Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors,” and ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): CodificationImprovements,” inclusive) and assessing the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” to simplify how all entities assess goodwill forimpairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value ofa reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds thereporting unit’s fair value. The ASU is effective for the Company’s annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15,2021. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. On August 28, 2018 the FASB issued ASU No 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the DisclosureRequirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU No. 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments inASU No. 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Companydoes not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. On August 28, 2018 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to The Disclosure Requirements for Defined BenefitPlans.” ASU No. 2018-14 amends ASC 715 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans.The update is effective for the Company for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have amaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements. On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which modifies ASC 740 to simplify theaccounting for income taxes. The ASU’s amendments are based on changes that were suggested by stakeholders as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative(i.e., the Board’s effort to reduce the complexity of accounting standards while maintaining or enhancing the helpfulness of information provided to financialstatement users). The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. TheCompany does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected tohave a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. 92 4. BUSINESS COMBINATION On June 6, 2018, NESR consummated the Business Combination and related financing transactions, acquiring all of the issued and outstanding equityinterests of NPS and GES. Accounting treatment The Business Combination is accounted for under ASC 805. Pursuant to ASC 805, NESR has been determined to be the accounting acquirer. Refer toNote 2, Basis of Presentation, for more information. NPS and GES both constitute businesses, with inputs, processes, and outputs. Accordingly, the acquisition ofNPS and GES both constitute the acquisition of a business for purposes of ASC 805 and due to the change in control of each of NPS and GES was accounted forusing the acquisition method. NESR recorded the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from NPS and GES. 93 The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price (in thousands): Allocation of consideration NPS GES (In thousands) Cash and cash equivalents $31,656 $5,206 Accounts receivable 55,392 18,013 Unbilled revenue 41,378 45,343 Inventories 33,652 31,092 Current assets 19,463 8,719 Property, plant and equipment 216,094 91,444 Intangible assets 94,000 53,000 Deferred tax assets - 554 Other assets 7,457 1,254 Total identifiable assets acquired 499,092 254,625 Accounts payable 26,457 31,113 Accrued expenses 28,685 25,388 Current portion of loans and borrowings - 16,368 Short-term borrowings 55,836 9,000 Current liabilities 3,665 15,449 Loans and borrowings 149,399 25,098 Deferred tax liabilities 24,098 8,053 Other liabilities 22,363 9,910 Non-controlling interest (2,841) 837 Net identifiable liabilities acquired 307,662 141,216 Total fair value of net assets acquired 191,430 113,409 Goodwill 399,325 175,439 Total gross consideration $590,755 $288,848 During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company finalized its valuation of certain identifiable assets and liabilities. These measurement periodchanges resulted in an increase of $3.2 million to goodwill in the 2019 Successor Period as compared to the amounts recorded as of December 31, 2018. For NPS,current liabilities increased by $3.2 million in the 2019 Successor Period due to income tax return-to-accrual adjustments that resulted from the filing of the 2018income tax returns. For GES, other liabilities increased by $1.1 million due to an additional provision for unrecognized tax benefits. The impact of these adjustments on the 2019 Successor Period was not material to the consolidated financial statements. 94 Intangible assets were identified that met either the separability criterion or the contractual-legal criterion described in ASC 805. The final allocation tointangible assets is as follows (in thousands): Intangible assets Fair Value NPS GES Total Useful Life (In thousands) Customer contracts $77,000 $44,500 $121,500 10 yearsTrademarks and trade names 17,000 8,500 25,500 8 yearsTotal intangible assets $94,000 $53,000 $147,000 Goodwill $574.8 million has been allocated to goodwill as of December 31, 2019. Goodwill represents the excess of the gross consideration transferred over the fairvalue of the underlying net tangible and identifiable definite-lived intangible assets acquired. The goodwill is not amortizable for income tax purposes. Qualitativefactors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include certain intangible assets that are not recognized as separate identifiable intangible assets apart fromgoodwill. Intangible assets not recognized apart from goodwill consist primarily of the strong market positions and the assembled workforces at the Subsidiaries. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will be tested forimpairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present. In the event management determines that the value of goodwill has becomeimpaired, an accounting charge for the amount of impairment during the period in which the determination is made may be recognized. Unaudited pro forma information The following table summarizes the supplemental consolidated results of the Company on an unaudited pro forma basis, as if the Business Combinationhad been consummated on January 1, 2017 (in thousands): Period from January 1 Period from January 1 to December 31, to December 31, 2018 2017Revenues $552,520 $457,888 Net income $52,667 $36,418 These pro forma results were based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable. They are not the results that would havebeen realized had the Company been a combined company during the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of consolidated results of operations infuture periods. The pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to purchase accounting adjustments. Acquisition costs and other non-recurring chargesincurred in connection with the Business Combination are included in the earliest period presented. 95 5. REVENUE Disaggregation of revenue There is significant homogeneity amongst the Company’s revenue-generating activities. In all service lines, the Company provides a “suite of services” tofulfill a customer purchase/service order, encompassing personnel, use of Company equipment, and supplies required to perform the work. 99% of the Company’srevenue is from the MENA region with the majority sourced from governmental customers, predominantly in Oman and Saudi Arabia. Information regularlyreviewed by the chief operating decision maker for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments is focused on the timing of when the services areperformed during a well’s lifecycle. Production Services are services performed during the production stage of a well’s lifecycle. Drilling and Evaluation Servicesare services performed during the pre-production stages of a well’s lifecycle. Based on these considerations, the following table provides disaggregated revenue data by the phase in a well’s lifecycle during which revenue has beenrecorded (in thousands): Successor (NESR) Predecessor (NPS) Period from Period from Period from January 1 June 7 January 1 Year ended to December 31, to December 31, to June 6, December 31, 2019 2018 2018 2017 Revenue by Phase in Well’s Lifecycle: Production Services $405,654 $215,791 $112,295 $228,763 Drilling and Evaluation Services 252,731 132,799 24,732 42,561 Total revenue by phase in well’s life cycle $658,385 $348,590 $137,027 $271,324 96 6.

On May 23, 2019 and June 20, 2019, the Company entered into $35.0 million and $40.0 million Incremental Facilities Agreements, respectively,increasing the size of the Secured Facilities Agreement to $485.0 million and $525.0 million, respectively. The $525.0 million Secured Facilities Agreement consists of a $300.0 million term loan due 2025 (the “Term Loan” or “Secured Term Loan”), a $65.0million revolving credit facility due 2023 (“RCF” or “Secured Revolving Credit Facility”), and a $160.0 million working capital facility. Borrowings under theTerm Loan and RCF incur interest at the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.4% to 2.7% per annum, varying based on the Company’s Net Debt / EBITDA ratio asdefined in the agreement. As of December 31, 2019, this results in an interest rate of 4.3%. The Company has drawn $300.0 million of the Term Loan and $50.0million of the RCF as of December 31, 2019. The RCF was obtained for general corporate and working capital purposes including capital expenditure related requirements and acquisitions (includingtransaction related expenses). The RCF requires the payment of a commitment fee each quarter. The commitment fee is computed at the rate of 0.60% per annumbased on the average daily amount by which the borrowing base exceeds the outstanding borrowings during each quarter. Under the terms of the RCF, the finalsettlement is due by May 6, 2023. The Company is required to repay the amount of any principal balance outstanding together with any unpaid accumulatedinterest at three-month LIBOR plus 2.4% to 2.7% per annum, varying based on the Company’s Net Debt / EBITDA ratio as defined in the agreement. TheCompany is permitted to make any prepayment under this RCF in multiples of $5.0 million during this 4-year period up to May 6, 2023. Any unutilized balancesfrom the RCF can be drawn down again during the 4-year tenure at the same terms. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has $15.0 million available to bedrawn under the RCF. The Secured Facilities Agreement also includes a working capital facility of $160.0 million for issuance of letters of guarantee and letters of credit andrefinancing letters of credit over a period of one year, which carries an interest rate equal to three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR for the applicable interest period, plusa margin of 1.00% to 1.25% per annum. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had utilized $134.2 million under this working capital facility and the balance of$25.8 million was available to the Company. The Company has also retained legacy bilateral working capital facilities from HSBC totaling $30.4 million in Qatar ($16.4 million), in UAE ($13.9million) and Kuwait ($0.1 million). As of December 31, 2019, the Company had utilized $24.1 million under this working capital facility and the balance of $6.3million was available to the Company. 100 Utilization of the working capital facilities under both the legacy arrangement and Secured Facilities Agreement comprises letters of credit issued tovendors, guarantees issued to customers, vendors, and others, and short-term borrowings used to settle letters of credit. Once a letter of credit is presented forpayment by the vendor, the Company at its election can settle the letter of credit from available cash or leverage short-term borrowings that will be repaid quarterlyover a one-year period. Until a letter of credit is presented for payment by the vendor, it is disclosed as an off-balance sheet obligation. For additional discussion ofoutstanding letters of credit and guarantees, see Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies. The Secured Facilities Agreement includes covenants that specify maximum leverage (Net Debt / EBITDA) up to 3.50, minimum debt service coverageratio (Cash Flow / Debt Service) of at least 1.25, and interest coverage (EBITDA / Interest) of at least 4.00.

The primary reference point inidentifying the rate was the yield on high-quality U.S. corporate bonds per the FTSE Above Median Double-A Curve (as of December 31, 2019) of durationbroadly consistent with the benefit obligations. The rate has been rounded to the nearest 0.25%. The selection of the rate is consistent with the year-endedDecember 31, 2018. The weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are set out below: December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Discount rate 3.75% 3.00%Rate of increase in compensation levels: 3.00% 2.73% The Company assesses these assumptions with its projected long-term plans of growth and prevalent industry standards. The Company has no regulatory requirement to fund these benefits in advance and intends to pay benefits directly as they fall due. As of December 31,2019, the Company has no plan assets to invest. Accumulated benefit obligation was $16.1 million and $13.2 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following reflect expected future benefit payments (in thousands): Year ending December 31, 2020 $3,234 2021 $3,417 2022 $3,170 2023 $2,946 2024 $2,993 Thereafter $13,658 The expected benefits are based on the same assumptions used to measure the Company’s benefit obligations as of December 31, 2019. Defined contribution plans The Company also provides a defined contribution retirement plan and occupational hazard insurance for Omani employees.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION On May 18, 2018, the NESR shareholders approved the 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), effective upon the closing of the BusinessCombination. The board of directors previously approved the LTIP on February 9, 2018, including the performance criteria upon which performance goals may bebased. A total of 5,000,000 ordinary shares are reserved for issuance under the LTIP. Grants to members of the Company’s Board of Directors are time-based andvest ratably over a 1-year period. Grants to the Company employees are time-based and vest ratably over a 3-year period. The purpose of the LTIP is to enhance NESR’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions toNESR by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities. The Company intends to use time-based restricted stock unit awards to reward long-term performance of the executive officers. The Company believes that providing a meaningful portion of the total compensation package in the form of share-based awards will align the incentives of its executive officers with the interests of its shareholders and serve to motivate and retain the individual executiveofficers. The following tables set forth the LTIP activity for the periods indicated (in thousands, except share and per share amounts): Number of Restricted Shares Weighted Average GrantDate Fair Value per Share Unvested at December 31, 2018 (NESR - Successor) 725,200 $10.94 Granted 1,184,000 $9.86 Vested and issued (290,510) $10.27 Forfeited (116,000) $10.59 Unvested at December 31, 2019 (NESR - Successor) 1,502,690 $10.25 Number ofRestricted Shares Weighted Average GrantDate Fair Value perShare Unvested at June 7, 2018 (NESR - Successor) - $- Granted 725,200 $10.94 Vested and issued - $- Forfeited - $- Unvested at December 31, 2018 (NESR - Successor) 725,200 $10.94 At December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had unrecognized compensation expense of $11.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively, related to unvested LTIP tobe recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average remaining period of 2.0 years and 2.53 years, respectively.

We have also entered into cash margin guarantees totaling $5.8 million at December 31, 2019. A liability is accrued when a loss is bothprobable and can be reasonably estimated. None of the off-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company had a liability of $6.7 million and $6.7 million, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet includedin the line item “Other liabilities” reflecting various liabilities associated with the 2014 acquisition of NPS Bahrain. Registration rights The Company is a party to various registration rights agreements with holders of its securities. These registration rights agreements provide certainholders with demand and “piggyback” registration rights, and holders have other rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant toRule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights are subject to various limitations. The Company generally bears the expenses incurred in connection withthe filing of any such registration statements. On July 16, 2018, the Company filed a registration statement on Form F-3 pursuant to certain registration rightsagreements, which was declared effective on August 22, 2018. On February 22, 2019, the Company filed another registration statement on Form F-3 pursuant tocertain registration rights agreements, which was declared effective on March 4, 2019. Legal proceedings The Company is involved in certain legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business and the outcomes of which are currently subject touncertainties and therefore the probability of a loss, if any, being sustained and an estimate of the amount of any loss are difficult to ascertain. Consequently, it isnot possible to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from ultimate resolution of these disputes. The Company iscontesting these claims/disputes and the Company’s management currently believes that provision against these potential claims is not required as the ultimateoutcome of these disputes would not have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. 106 15. EQUITY The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of ordinary shares, no par value, and preferred shares, no par value. The Company’s ordinaryshares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2019, there were 87,187,289 ordinary shares outstanding, 22,921,700 public warrants and12,618,680 private warrants. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $5.75 per half share at any timecommencing on July 6, 2018 (30 days after the completion of the Business Combination). The warrants must be exercised for whole ordinary shares. The warrantsexpire on June 6, 2023 (five years after the completion of the Business Combination). The private warrants are identical to the public warrants except that suchwarrants are exercisable for cash (even if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective) or on acashless basis, at the holder’s option, and will not be redeemable so long as they are still held by the initial purchasers or their affiliates. No public warrants areexercisable for cash unless there is an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a currentprospectus relating to such ordinary shares. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of preferred shares divided into five classes with designations, voting and other rights andpreferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2019, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding. Predecessor convertible shares As part of NPS’s acquisition of NPS Bahrain in 2014, NPS issued a total of 37,000,000 convertible shares to two of NPS Bahrain’s shareholders, Mr.Abdulaziz Mubarak Al-Dolaimi and Mr. Fahad Abdulla Bindekhayel (selling shareholders). These shares were issued to provide security against certain tax andrelated indemnities given by the selling shareholders at the time of acquisition of NPS Bahrain. The convertible shares had the same rights and ranked pari passuwith the NPS common shares, including the right to participate in any dividend declared for ordinary shares and valued at $1 per share. Under the terms of the convertible shares, in the event any indemnity claims were settled by the selling shareholders by providing cash to NPS, anequivalent amount of convertible shares would be converted into NPS common shares. However, in the event the indemnity claims were not settled by the sellingshareholders, an equivalent amount of convertible shares would be cancelled by NPS. These convertible shares are equity classified because the conversion toequity shares or the cancellation of the same is at the option of NPS. At the end of the June 2019, unless all indemnity claims were settled to the satisfaction ofNPS, half of the convertible shares were to convert into NPS common shares and the balance on extinguishment of contingencies. The convertible shares werecancelled at closing of the Business Combination. Prior to the Business Combination, the Predecessor (NPS) paid dividends per share of $0.13 per share in the 2018 Predecessor Period and $0.05 per sharein 2017. 107 16. EARNINGS PER SHARE 2019 and 2018 Successor Periods Basic earnings per common share was computed using the two-class method by dividing basic net income attributable to common shareholders by theweighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share was computed using the two-class method by dividing diluted netincome attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive common equivalent shares. Dilutivecommon equivalent shares include all in-the-money outstanding contracts to issue common shares as if they were exercised or converted. The following tables provide a reconciliation of the data used in the calculation of basic and diluted ordinary shares outstanding for the period (inthousands except shares and per share amounts).

Deferred tax assets are shown less any valuation allowances. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, valuation allowances of $4.9 million and $31 thousandrelate to net operating loss carryforwards. Changes in the Company’s estimates and assumptions used to determine the valuation allowance, including any changesin applicable tax laws or tax rates, may impact the Company’s ability to recognize the underlying deferred tax assets and could require future adjustments to thevaluation allowances. The $4.9 million increase in the valuation allowance is on account of operating loss carryforwards generated in the current year notqualifying for recognition as the Company does not believe these operating loss carryforwards will be utilized prior to expiration. Further, deferred tax assets foroperating loss carryforwards in the table above have been shown net of an unrecognized tax benefit for likely disallowances of $1.7 million. Deferred tax liabilities on Property, plant and equipment of $4.9 million at December 31, 2019 includes an unrecognized tax benefit of $3.6 million. The Company generally does not recognize deferred tax liabilities related to its undistributed earnings because such earnings either would not be taxable whenremitted or they are indefinitely reinvested. This position may change if the Company decides to distribute the earnings from its subsidiaries, which are subject towithholding taxes, or if there are any unfavorable changes in the tax laws in this regard. Accordingly, a determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred taxliability on such undistributed earnings is not practicable. Current tax expense will be incurred if/when the Company distributes earnings from its subsidiarieswhich are subject to withholding taxes. Income Tax Rate Reconciliation The difference between the reported amount of income tax expense and the amount that would result from applying from both the British Virgin Islands(Successor) as well as the United Arab Emirates (Predecessor) statutory rates are shown in the table below (in thousands). In the British Virgin Islands, thestatutory rate is effectively 0% as tax is not applied on extra territorial activity. For the United Arab Emirates, the statutory rate on our operations is also 0%. Year Ended Period from Period from Year Ended January 1 to June 7, 2018 to January 1 to January 1 to December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 June 6, 2018 December 31, 2017 Successor Predecessor Income tax at statutory rate (BVI andUAE 0%) - - - - Foreign tax rate differential $12,848 $8,328 $2,147 $5,329 Non-deductible expenses - - - 110 Tax effect of adjustments to prior year taxprovisions (2,054) - 195 - Effect of tax exemption - - - (1,189)Allocation of head office / corporatecosts, net of unrecognized benefit - - - 161 Unrecognized tax benefits 2,476 1,574 - - Other (199) (471) - 175 Income Tax Expense $13,071 $9,431 $2,342 $4,586 The foreign tax rate differential relates to differences between the income tax rates in effect in the foreign countries in which the Company operates, which canvary significantly, and the Company’s statutory tax rate of 0%. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes $0.9 million of penalties andinterest associated with the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits. 111 Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company records estimated accrued interest and penalties related to an underpayment of income taxes in income tax expense. As of December 31,2019, the Company had $12.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding estimated accrued interest and penalties of $1.8 million, which are included in OtherLong-Term Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $7.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits, includingestimated accrued interest and penalties of $0.9 million, which are included in Other Long-Term Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. There are no timingdifferences or other items that have indirect effects included in the unrecognized tax benefits and as such all $12.5 million of the net unrecognized tax benefits as ofDecember 31, 2019 would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. A summary of activity related to the net unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Year Ended Period from Period from Year Ended January 1 to June 7, 2018 to January 1 to January 1 to December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 June 6, 2018 December 31, 2017 Successor Predecessor Balance at beginning of period $ 7,135 $ - $4,837 $3,703 Additions from tax positions adjusted inpurchase accounting 1,072 5,561 - - Additions from tax positions related to thecurrent period 1,376 1,324 - 1,134 Additions from tax positions related toprior periods 4,700 250 - - Reductions from tax positions related toearlier periods (873) - - - Other (877) - Ending unrecognized tax benefits $12,533 $7,135 $4,837 $4,837 The Company does not anticipate the amount of the unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly over the next twelve months. Unrecognized tax benefits may change from quarter-to-quarter based on various factors, including, but not limited to, favorable or unfavorable resolution oftax audits or disputes, expiration of relevant statutes of limitations, changes in tax laws or changes to the interpretation of existing tax laws due to new legislativeguidance or court rulings, or new tax positions taken on recently filed tax returns. Although the Company has recorded unrecognized tax benefits for all taxpositions which, in management’s judgment, are more likely than not to be successfully challenged by the relevant tax authorities in the future, the Companycannot provide assurance as to the final tax liability related to its tax positions as it is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of any related taxdisputes. Thus, it is reasonably possible that the ultimate tax liabilities related to such tax positions could substantially exceed recorded unrecognized tax benefitsrelated to such tax positions, resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s earnings and cash flows from operations. The Company’s tax returns for year 2011 and subsequent years for all major jurisdictions, i.e. Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iraq, and Algeria, remain subject toexamination by tax authorities. The Company is currently subject to or expects to be subject to income tax examinations in various jurisdictions where theCompany operates or has previously operated. If any tax authority successfully challenges the Company’s tax positions, including, but not limited to, tax positionsrelated to the tax consequences of various intercompany transactions, the taxable presence of the Company’s subsidiaries in a given jurisdiction, the basis oftaxation in a given jurisdiction (such as deemed profits versus net-filing basis), or the applicability of relevant double tax treaty benefits to certain transactions; orshould the Company otherwise lose a material tax dispute in any jurisdiction, the Company’s income tax liability could increase substantially and the Company’searnings and cash flows from operations could be materially adversely affected. 112 18.

The results of operations of the service offerings are regularly reviewed by the CODM for the Company for the purposes of determining resource andasset allocation and assessing performance. The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments, Production Services and Drilling and EvaluationServices. The CODM evaluates the operating results of its reportable segments primarily based on revenue and Segment EBITDA. The Company defines SegmentEBITDA as net income adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and income tax benefit or expense. Segment EBITDA does not includegeneral corporate expenses as these expenses are not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments and not reported to the Company’s CODM. Production Services that are offered depend on the well life cycle in which the services may fall. They include, but are not limited to, the following typesof service offerings: coil tubing, stimulation and pumping, nitrogen services, completions, pipelines, cementing, laboratory services and filtration services. 113 Drilling and Evaluation Services generates its revenue from the following service offerings: drilling and workover rigs, rig services, drilling services andrentals, fishing and remedials, directional drilling, turbines drilling, drilling fluids, wireline logging services, slickline services and well testing services.
