Financial Summary
Dawson Geophysical acquires and processes 3-D seismic data for major and intermediate-sized oil and gas companies and independent oil operators. For the nine months ended 6/30/01, revenues totaled $28.5 million, up from $11.9 million. Net loss fell 57% to $3.7 million. Revenues reflect increased demand from the Company's services due the continuing high prices of crude oil and natural gas. Lower loss was partially offset by higher operating expenses.
