These statements are based on certain assumptions made by Superior based on management's experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Superior's control, which may cause Superior's actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to: a sustained or further decrease in domestic spending by the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry; a continued decline in or substantial volatility of crude oil and natural gas commodity prices; current weakness in the credit and capital markets and lack of credit availability; overcapacity and competition in our industry; our inability to comply with the financial and other covenants in our debt agreements as a result of reduced revenues and financial performance; unanticipated costs, delays or other difficulties in executing our growth strategy, including difficulties associated with the integration of the Diamondback asset acquisition; the loss of one or more significant customers; the loss of or interruption in operations of one or more key suppliers; and the incurrence of significant costs and liabilities in the future resulting from our failure to comply with new or existing environmental regulations or an accidental release of hazardous substances into the environment.
