Question-and-Answer Session

Operator

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. At this time we will be conducting a question-and-answer session. (Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from the line of Collin Gerry with Raymond James. Please proceed with your question.

Collin Gerry - Raymond James & Associates, Inc.

Hey, good morning guys.

William H. Wells

Good morning, Collin.

Collin Gerry - Raymond James & Associates, Inc.

I hate to open up the questions with a tax question, but did I hear you right that there is an additional 50 million of expected tax savings going forward?

William H. Wells

Well, Collin that’s a potential recovery and we’re going to climb to that – to that 475 but under the accounting rules we only recognize about a third of the benefits there.

Collin Gerry - Raymond James & Associates, Inc.

On the income statement you are going to recognize a third?

William H. Wells

That’s correct, so there is 75 sitting on the balance sheet offset by about $50 million sitting on the liability side.

Collin Gerry - Raymond James & Associates, Inc.

Okay. So I mean how would you [ph] in vision that [indiscernible] pretty hard to guess but how do you [ph] invasion in the income statement, is that something we see in couple of quarters or the next six quarters?

William H. Wells

Well, I think it is a long term proposition Collin, it’s hard to speculate on what we collect and when but it is probably closer to six quarters than two for sure.

Collin Gerry - Raymond James & Associates, Inc.

Okay. That’s helpful. Going back to another comment you made today here right at 2009 was a record year for after market and in [indiscernible]?

William H. Wells

It will be, yeah we are tracking ahead of plan substantially, and ahead of our previous record and we fully expect to set a new records this year.

Collin Gerry - Raymond James & Associates, Inc.

Well, I just seem like an interesting year to be [indiscernible] on the positive side. I guess, walk us through may be some of the changes that have happened in the recent years over [indiscernible] a record year for after market.

William H. Wells

You are [ph] talking of the after market parts.

Collin Gerry - Raymond James & Associates, Inc.

Right. I mean I guess, is that more driven by the mining side or is it – I just think with the land rig count being as low as it is – it seems hard to imagine that after market would be that strong?
