HOUSTON, August 6, 2007— Boots & Coots International Well Control, Inc. (Amex: WEL), announced net income attributable to common stockholders of $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared $2.6 million for the same quarter last year. Revenues for the quarter were $22.0 million compared to $23.5 million for the same quarter last year. EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization; see the reconciliation and rationale for this non-GAAP financial measure below) was $2.0 million for the quarter compared to $6.1 million for the second quarter last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Boots & Coots announced net income attributable to common stockholders of $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to $3.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Revenues for the six months were $44.2 million compared to $35.0 million for the same period last year. EBITDA was $4.8 million for the six months compared to $8.6 million for first six months of 2006. During the current six month period, Boots & Coots incurred start up expenses of $1.4 million for hydraulic workover and SafeGuard operations in North Texas, the Middle East and North Africa.

“During the second quarter we continued to experience the effects of delays in certain customer projects in the Gulf of Mexico and Venezuela,” stated Jerry Winchester, president and chief executive officer. “While activity increased somewhat during the quarter, levels continue to be lower than last year.”

“We anticipate increased activity in the Middle East during the second half of the year that will help offset lower activity in the Gulf of Mexico and Venezuela,” added Mr. Winchester. “Additionally, we expect contributions from our recent investment in snubbing operations in the Mid-Continent and Rockies regions and our start up rental tools services business. Our expansion into the Mid-Continent and Rockies will provide us with a larger domestic presence focused in areas experiencing increased activity levels, and will expand our opportunities to add complementary service lines, such as our rental tools business. We believe our investments in North America land, the Middle East and North Africa will result in considerable growth opportunities.”

Business Segment Results
Well Intervention
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Well Intervention segment generated revenues of $18.3 million and EBITDA of $0.6 million, compared to revenues of $22.8 million and EBITDA of $5.9 million for the same quarter last year. Similar to the first quarter of 2007, the second quarter was impacted by lower revenues primarily from the Gulf of Mexico and Venezuela, partially offset by growth in the Company’s Safeguard service line. Quarter-over-quarter, the cost increases are due to revenue mix and semi-fixed costs related to the hydraulic workover business in the Gulf of Mexico and Venezuela, and to start up expenses of $1.2 million for operations in North Texas, the Middle East and North Africa.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Well Intervention generated revenues of $39.2 million and EBITDA of $3.0 million, compared to revenues of $32.8 million and EBITDA of $7.9 million for the same period last year. The year-to-year cost increases are due to the inclusion of six months of hydraulic workover results compared to four months in 2006, to revenue mix and semi-fixed costs related to the hydraulic workover business in the Gulf of Mexico and Venezuela, and to start up expenses of $1.4 million as explained above.
