Otherwise, the information set forth in the Original Form 8-K and the Report filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Form 8-K on October 19, 2006 remains unchanged.


Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

        The information contained in Item 8.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02.


Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

        The Board of Directors of the Company (defined below) determined on March 28, 2004 that its previously issued financial statements for the first nine months of 2003 and prior periods would require restatement and should not be relied upon. As reported in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated as of, and filed with the Commission on, March 29, 2004 (the "March 2004 8-K"), the Company determined at that time that restatement of its prior period financial statements would be required to reflect write-downs of fixed assets that should have been recorded in prior periods. The Report contains additional information regarding the Company's restatement of its prior period financial statements. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has discussed with the Company's independent public accountants the matters identified in the March 2004 Form 8-K and the Original Form 8-K.

        The information contained in Item 8.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.02.


Item 8.01. Other Items

        On October 19, 2006, the audit of Key Energy Services, Inc.'s (the "Company") consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and June 30, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, comprehensive income and cash flows for fiscal periods ended December 31, 2003, December 31, 2002, June 30, 2002, and June 30, 2001 was completed. Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is a Financial and Informational Report (the "Report"). The Report contains the Company's financial statements for the foregoing periods, which have been restated for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and prior periods, as well as business and other information about the Company. The description of the Report contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

        The Report contains consolidated balance sheets for the Company as of December 31, 2003, December 31, 2002, and June 30, 2002, and its consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders' equity for fiscal periods ended December 31, 2003, December 31, 2002, June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001. The Company's December 31, 2003 consolidated balance sheet ("2003 Balance Sheet") presents its financial condition as of that date in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Based on two accounting issues described in the Report, the Company was unable to conclude that its consolidated financial statements other than the 2003 Balance Sheet fairly present the Company's financial condition or results of operations or cash flows for the periods covered in accordance with GAAP.

2



        The Company's independent public accountants, KPMG LLP, have expressed an unqualified opinion that the 2003 Balance Sheet fairly presents our financial condition on December 31, 2003, in accordance with GAAP. They have also audited the other financial statements presented in the Report. They have opined that, due to the two accounting issues discussed in the Report, the financial statements other than the 2003 Balance Sheet do not fairly present the Company's financial condition or results of operations or cash flows for the periods covered in accordance with GAAP.

        In light of the foregoing, the Company cannot file an Annual Report on Form 10-K containing financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, accompanied by an opinion of independent public accountants, for three fiscal years ending December 31, 2003. Instead, the Company is filing the Report, which includes the 2003 Balance Sheet and the other consolidated financial statements. The Report also provides information about the Company's business and other information similar to what would have been provided in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. Notwithstanding the limitations on the financial statements, the Company believes that it is important to provide investors as complete a picture as possible about the Company's historical financial condition and results, as well as to allow investors to see the nature of the restatement items and how they have been reflected in the Company's historical records.

        Investors are strongly cautioned not to rely on any of the financial statements contained in the Report, other than the 2003 Balance Sheet, as fairly presenting, for the periods covered, the financial condition of the Company or its statements of operations or cash flows, in accordance with GAAP. Any information set forth in the Report that incorporates or discusses information contained in the financial statements is subject to the same caution.

        The Company has not amended and does not intend to amend its previously-filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K or its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods that ended prior to and including September 30, 2003. Consequently, the historical information contained in those prior filings should not be relied upon.
