ENSERVCO CORPORATION

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the accounting records of Enservco Corporation (formerly Aspen Exploration Corporation), Heat Waves Hot Oil Services LLC (“Heat Waves”), Dillco Fluid Service, Inc. (“Dillco”), HE Services LLC, and Real GC LLC (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

The below table provides an overview of the Company’s current ownership hierarchy:

 

Name   State of
Formation
  Ownership   Business
Dillco Fluid Service, Inc.   Kansas   100% by Enservco   Oil and natural gas field fluid logistic services.
             
Heat Waves Hot Oil Service LLC   Colorado   100% by Enservco   Oil and natural gas well services, including logistics and stimulation.

Real GC, LLC   Colorado   100% by Heat Waves   No active business operations.  Owns real property in Garden City, Kansas that is utilized by Heat Waves.  

 

On May 29, 2013, three of the Company’s former subsidiaries, being Trinidad Housing, LLC, Aspen Gold Mining Company, and Heat Waves, LLC, were dissolved and Enservco Frac Services, LLC is being dissolved by operation of law. None of these dissolved subsidiaries was engaged in active business operations prior to dissolution. As part of a corporate reorganization in May 2013, Dillco transferred its ownership in Heat Waves to Enservco through a tax free exchange.

 

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all of the normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the interim financial information set forth herein have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results of a full year or of future years.

 

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Enservco Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2013. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers. The Company provides a reserve for doubtful accounts based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The provision for uncollectible amounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses. The allowance is management's best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical collection experience related to accounts receivable coupled with a review of the current status of existing receivables. The losses ultimately incurred could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining the allowance. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $255,000 and $245,000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded bad debt expense (net of recoveries) of $10,000 and $126,234, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists primarily of propane, diesel fuel and chemicals used in the servicing of oil wells and is carried at the lower of cost or market in accordance with the first in, first out method. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired. No impairments were recorded during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consists of (1) trucks, trailers and pickups; (2) trucks that are in various stages of fabrication; (3) real property which includes land and buildings used for office and shop facilities and wells used for the disposal of water; and (4) other equipment such as tools used for maintaining and repairing vehicles, office furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company charges repairs and maintenance against income when incurred and capitalizes renewals and betterments, which extend the remaining useful life or expands the capacity or efficiency of the assets. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 5 to 30 years.

 

Leases

 

The Company conducts a major part of its operations from leased facilities. Each of these leases is accounted for as an operating lease. Normally, the Company records rental expense on its operating leases over the lease term as it becomes payable. If rental payments are not made on a straight-line basis, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company records a deferred rent expense and recognizes the rental expense on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term. The majority of the Company’s facility leases contain renewal clauses and expire through August 2017. In most cases, management expects that in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases.

 

7
 

 

The Company is leasing a number of trucks and equipment in the normal course of business, which are recorded as operating leases. The Company records rental expense on its equipment operating leases over the lease term as it becomes payable; there are no rent escalation terms associated with these equipment leases. On a number of the equipment leases, purchase options exist allowing the Company to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term, based on the market price of the equipment at the time of the lease termination and exercised purchase option. The majority of the Company’s equipment leases contain renewal clauses and expire through February 2017.

 

The Company has also is the past entered into several capital leases in order to acquire trucks and equipment. Each of these leases allow the Company to retain title of the equipment leased through the lease agreements upon final payment of all principal and interest due. The Company records the assets and liabilities associated with these leases at the present value of the minimum lease payments per the lease agreement. The assets are classified as property and equipment and the liabilities are classified as current and long-term liabilities based on the contractual terms of the agreements and their associated maturities. There are no outstanding capital leases as of March 31, 2014.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, services are provided, and collection is reasonably assured.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the diluted weighted average number of common shares. The diluted weighted average number of common shares is computed using the treasury stock method for common stock that may be issued for outstanding stock options.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire an aggregate of 4,532,895 and 8,651,170 shares of Company common stock, respectively, which have a potentially dilutive impact on earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the incremental shares of the options and warrants to be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share had a dilutive impact on the Company’s earnings per share of 2,613,082 and 3,172,940 shares, respectively.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Non-Competition Agreements. The non-competition agreements with the sellers of Heat Waves and Dillco have finite lives and were being amortized over a five-year period. All non-competition agreements were fully amortized as of June 30, 2013. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $0 and $15,000, respectively.

 

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, including identified intangible assets, recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Heat Waves. Goodwill is not amortized but is assessed for impairment at least annually.

 

Impairment. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. Guidance allows a qualitative assessment of impairment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill is impaired. If it is determined that it is more-likely-than-not that an impairment exists, accounting guidance requires that the impairment test be performed through the application of a two-step fair value test. The Company utilizes this method and recognizes a goodwill impairment loss in the event that the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed its carrying value. During fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Company performed the annual impairment test and determined that no impairment existed. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not note any events that occurred, nor did any circumstances change, that would require goodwill to be assessed for impairment.

 

8
 

 

Loan Fees and Other Deferred Costs

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into loan agreements with its primary lending institutions. The majority of these lending agreements require origination fees and other fees in the course of executing the agreements. For all costs associated with the execution of the lending agreements, the Company recognizes these as capitalized costs and amortizes these costs over the term of the loan agreement using the effective interest method. These deferred costs are classified on the balance sheet as current or long-term assets based on the contractual terms of the loan agreements. All other costs not associated with the execution of the loan agreements are expensed as incurred.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income taxes are classified as a net current or non-current asset or liability based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes.  A deferred tax asset or liability that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting is classified according to the expected reversal date.  The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that it believes is more likely than not expected to be realized.

 

The Company accounts for any uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous.  As such, the Company is required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding income tax exposures. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax law and regulations change over time and may result in changes to the Company’s subjective assumptions and judgments which can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income. The result of the reassessment of the Company’s tax positions did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as general and administrative expenses. No interest or penalties have been assessed as of March 31, 2014. The Company files tax returns in the United States and in the states in which it conducts its business operations. The tax years 2010 through 2013 remain open to examination in the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

 

Fair Value

 

The Company follows authoritative guidance that applies to all financial assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported on a fair value basis. The Company also applies the guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including non-competition agreements and goodwill. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

 

Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Company did not change its valuation techniques nor were there any transfers between hierarchy levels during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

9
 

 

The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

 

Level 1:Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2:Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability; or
Level 3:Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model as a method for determining the estimated fair value for all stock options awarded to employees, officers, and directors. The expected term of the options is based upon evaluation of historical and expected further exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life of the grant. Volatility is determined upon historical volatility of our stock and adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical experience. The dividend yield is assumed to be none as we have not paid dividends nor do we anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The Company also uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of warrants. Expected volatility is based upon the weighted average of historical volatility over the contractual term of the warrant and implied volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based upon implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the contractual term of the warrants. The dividend yield is assumed to be none.

 

Management Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Issued

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of a Component of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and requires new disclosures for discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Other than the additional presentation and disclosure requirements, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Revolving Line of Credit

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit with our primary lender was $1,158,971 and $0, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s revolving line of credit consisted of $1,000,000 Eurodollar loans with a variable interest rate of 3.25% plus 1 month LIBOR (3.4% at March 31, 2014) and $158,971 domestic rate loans with interest at PNC Base Rate plus 1.25% (4.5% at March 31, 2014).

Interest Rate Swap

 

On November 13, 2012 the Company entered into an Interest Rate Swap Agreement (“swap”) with PNC with a nominal value of $11,000,000 in order to hedge the cash flow requirements for the variable interest rate associated with the PNC Term Loan. The floating variable interest rate associated with the Term Loan debt of 4.25% plus LIBOR was swapped for a fixed rate of 4.25% plus 0.64% for the duration of the Term Loan.

 

At March 31, 2014, an updated valuation was performed resulting in a current liability of $11,928 (classified as Accounts payable and accrued liabilities) and a long-term asset of $12,393 (classified as Other Assets) associated with the swap. The Company determined that there was no ineffectiveness to the cash flow hedge and recorded changes in value to other comprehensive income.

Note 5 – Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period.  The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to pre-tax income primarily because of state income taxes and estimated permanent differences.

 

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year.  The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

 

Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Leases

 

As of March 31, 2014, the Company leases facilities and certain trucks and equipment under lease commitments that expire through August 2017. Future minimum lease commitments for these operating lease commitments are as follows:

2015  $767,060 
2016   643,828 
2017   253,823 
2018   128,500 
2019   96,000 
Thereafter   176,000 
Total  $2,065,211 

 

Equipment Purchase Commitments

 

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $1.6 million in outstanding purchase commitments that are necessary to complete the fabrication of two new acid trucks and four new hot oil trucks that are anticipated to be placed into service during the second quarter.

 

Note 7 – Warrants

 

In conjunction with the Private Placement and subordinated debt conversion in November 2012, the Company granted a one-half share warrant for every full share of common stock acquired by the equity investors or converted by Mr. Herman. As such, the Company granted warrants to purchase 4,960,714 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable at $0.55 per share for a five year term. Each of the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. The warrants also provide that subject to various conditions, the holders have piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of the warrants.

 

In November 2012, the Company granted each of the principals of an existing investor relations firm warrants to acquire 112,500 shares of the Company’s common stock (a total of 225,000 shares) for the firms assistance in creating awareness for the Company’s Private Placement. The warrants are exercisable at $0.55 per share and expire 5 years from date of grant.

On November 29, 2012, the Company entered into an investor relations agreement with an unaffiliated firm. Pursuant to this agreement and in lieu of cash fees, the Company issued the firm 125,000 shares of common stock at $0.40 per share and granted the firm a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.40 per share through June 1, 2016. The warrants vest based on performance criteria and may be exercised on a cashless basis. The warrants also provide that subject to various conditions, the holders have piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of the warrants. As of March 31, 2013, the Company recognized an expense (through operating expense as general and administrative expense) of $30,023 associated with these warrants.

 

A summary of warrant activity for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is as follows:

In addition, warrants to acquire 162,962 shares were exercised for cash payments totaling $89,630. The warrants exercised had a total intrinsic value of $2,795,175 at the time of exercise. No warrants were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2014. No warrants were issued or exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Note 8 – Stockholder’s Equity

 

Stock Option Plans

 

On July 27, 2010 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may granted under the 2010 Plan is reset at the beginning of each year based on 15% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding. As such, on January 1, 2014 the number of shares of common stock available under the 2010 Plan was reset to 5,223,380 shares based upon 34,822,536 shares outstanding on that date. Options are typically granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant with a vesting schedule of one to three years and a contractual term of 5 years. As of March 31, 2014, there were 3,257,500 options outstanding under the 2010 Plan.

 

The “2008 Equity Plan” was established by Aspen Exploration in February 2008 and was retained by the Company after the Acquisition. An aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares were reserved for issuance under the 2008 Equity Plan. On July 27, 2010, the Company terminated the 2008 Equity Plan, although such termination did not terminate or otherwise affect the contractual rights of persons who hold options to acquire common stock under the 2008 Equity Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, 140,431 shares were terminated due to expiration on February 27, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, there were 250,000 options outstanding under the 2008 Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted options to acquire 232,500 shares of common stock with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $1.71 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, options to acquire 100,000 shares of common stock were exercised for cash payments of $41,250. The options had an intrinsic value of $134,750 at the time of exercise.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company granted options to acquire 158,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $0.70 per share. As of March 31, 2013, 2,000 of these shares were cancelled as a result of termination of employment. No options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Exercisable at March 31, 2014   2,646,664   $0.71    2.18   $4,538,087 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2014, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options on March 31, 2014.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized stock-based compensation costs for stock options of $76,344 and $38,696, respectively in general and administrative expenses. The Company currently expects all outstanding options to vest. Compensation cost is revised if subsequent information indicates that the actual number of options vested is likely to differ from previous estimates.

As of March 31, 2014 there was $570,853 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested shares under the qualified stock option plans which will be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

 

Note 9 – Related Party Transactions

 

On February 3, 2014, the Board of Directors approved the sale of two trucks and a trailer to an entity owned 50% by the Company’s Chairman for $50,000. The equipment had not been in service for over two years and was not economically feasible to repair and return to service. The Company was holding this equipment primarily for salvage purposes. At the time of the sale, the equipment had a net book value of $38,000 which resulted in a gain of $12,000. The Company believes the price paid was at least equal to the fair market value of the units had they been sold through auction or in the open market.

 

Note 10 – Subsequent Events

 

In May 2014, the Company and PNC entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to increase the annual limit on capital expenditures for 2014 to $12,000,000. The Company’s capital expenditure limit for 2014 prior to the amendment was $6,600,000 which included a carryover of $4,100,000 of capital expenditures from 2013 which were approved but not yet spent.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Enservco Corporation provides well enhancement and fluid management services to the domestic onshore oil and natural gas industry. These services include frac water heating, hot oiling and acidizing (well enhancement services), and water hauling, fluid disposal, frac tank rental (fluid management services) and other general oilfield services. The Company owns and operates a fleet of more than 230 specialized trucks, trailers, frac tanks and other well-site related equipment and serves customers in several major domestic oil and gas fields including the DJ Basin/Niobrara field in Colorado, the Bakken field in North Dakota, the Marcellus and Utica Shale fields in Pennsylvania and Ohio, the Green River and Powder River Basins in Wyoming and the Mississippi Lime and Hugoton Fields in Kansas and Oklahoma.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following table shows selected financial data and operating results for the periods noted. Following the table, please see management’s discussion of significant changes.

 

   For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
   2014   2013 
FINANCIAL RESULTS:          
Revenues  $25,242,045   $18,567,166 
Cost of Revenue   16,292,018    10,569,098 
Gross Profit   8,950,027    7,998,068 
Gross Profit Percentage   35%   43%
           
Income From Operations   7,112,579    6,577,159 
Net Income  $4,185,956   $3,934,031 
Earnings per Common Share – Diluted  $0.11   $0.11 
Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding   38,347,173    34,998,234 
           
OTHER:          
Adjusted EBITDA*  $7,866,386   $7,209,714 
Adjusted EBITDA* Margin   31%   39%
           

 

*Management believes that, for the reasons set forth below, Adjusted EBITDA (even though a non-GAAP measure) is a valuable measurement of the Company's liquidity and performance and is consistent with the measurements offered by other companies in Enservco's industry. See further discussion of our use of EBITDA, the risks of non-GAAP measures, and the reconciliation to Net Income, below.

 

Overview:

 

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 increased $6.7 million or 36% due to record growth in our flagship well enhancement services. Additional frac water heating and hot oiling equipment, increased utilization of hot oiling equipment across our fleet, and the impact of sharp increases in propane prices experienced during the quarter all contributed to the revenue increase. See below for a more detailed discussion of these factors.

 

Although showing a decline in 2014 as a percentage of revenues, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA margins remained comparable to the prior year when adjusted for the impact of the increase in propane prices mentioned above. This is due primarily to higher propane costs being passed along to customers with minimal markup thereby increasing revenues with no corresponding significant increase in profit.

Revenues increased $6.7 million or 36% to $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to record revenues from our flagship well enhancement services. Revenues from both fluid management services and well site construction and roustabout services remained relatively flat in comparison to the same period last year.

Well Enhancement Services

 

Well enhancement service revenues, which includes frac water heating, hot oiling, and acidizing services continued to show record growth in 2014 increasing $6.7 million or 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Increased customer demand particularly in the Rocky Mountain Region and Eastern USA Regions combined with increased heating capacity from the addition of new frac water heating and hot oil equipment were the primary reasons for our revenue increase in 2014. In addition, propane revenues also increased significantly due to a sudden and sharp increase in propane prices and a change in billing methods in our Rocky Mountain region.

 

Below is a more detailed discussion of the factors that impacted well enhancement service revenues:

 

(1)During 2013 and 2014, the Company expanded its heating capacity by investing in additional equipment to meet the growing demand for our frac water heating and hot oiling services. As part of this expansion, the Company purchased and fabricated four new hot oil trucks, six bobtail frac heaters and two double burner frac heaters which were placed into service at various times over the last six months increasing our hot oil and frac heating capacity by approximately 23% and 20% for 2014 as compared to the same period last year.

 

(2)Hot oil equipment utilization improved by approximately 40% over the comparable period last year resulting in an increase of revenues of approximately $746,000.

 

(3)Propane revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 increased approximately $2.4 million from the comparable period last year due to an 80% increase in average propane prices from the same period last year. Propane used for frac water heating and hot oiling services are typically billed to customers on a “cost plus” method and accordingly any significant change in propane price will result in a corresponding change in revenue.

 

(4)Increased horizontal drilling and completion activity by new and existing customers in the Niobrara Shale/DJ Basin combined with our recent expansion into Rock Springs, WY have resulted in higher well enhancement service revenues in the Rocky Mountain region during 2014 as compared to the same period last year.

 

(5)Well enhancement service revenues in the Eastern USA region increased by approximately $2.6 million as compared to the same period last year due to continued expansion into the Utica Shale market where exploration and production activity and demand for our services increased over the first quarter of 2013.

 

Fluid Management Services

 

Fluid management service revenues, which represent about 8% of our consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014, remained relatively flat at $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Slightly lower water hauling revenues in our Central USA region were offset by small revenue increases in other regions.

 

Well Site Construction and Roustabout Services

 

Well site construction and roustabout services, which represent less than 1% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 remained an insignificant part of our business and are provided as ancillary services with our other services.

 

Geographic Areas

 

Revenues in the Rocky Mountain Region, which primarily consist of well enhancement services, increased $3.7 million or 35% from the comparable period last year. The increase was due to several factors including increased propane revenues from the change to a “cost plus” billing method, increased drilling and completion activity by several new and existing customers in the Niobrara Shale/DJ Basin, and incremental revenues generated from the recent expansion of our service into Rock Springs, WY.

 

20
 

 

Revenues in the Eastern USA region increased $2.6 million or 61% primarily due to the continued expansion of our services into the Utica Shale market where exploration and production activity and demand for our services increased over the comparable period in the prior year. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company added two sizable customers in addition to experiencing revenue growth with its largest customer. Higher propane revenues related to costs billed to customers also was a contributing factor to our revenue increase in 2014.

 

Revenues in the Central USA region increased $333,000 or 9% from the comparable period last year primarily due to increased frac water heating revenues generated from a customer in the Texas Panhandle.

 

Historical Seasonality of Revenues:

 

Because of the seasonality of our frac water heating and hot oiling business, revenues generated during the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year, covering the months during what is known as our “heating season”, are significantly higher than revenues earned during the second and third quarters of our fiscal year. In addition, the revenue mix of our service offerings also changes among quarters as our Well Enhancement services (which includes frac water heating and hot oiling) decrease as a percentage of total revenues and Fluid Management services and other services increase. Thus, the revenues recognized in our quarterly financials in any given period are not indicative of the annual or quarterly revenues through the remainder of that fiscal year.

 

As an indication of this quarter-to-quarter seasonality, the Company generated revenues of $33.7 million (73%) during the first and fourth quarters of 2013 compared to $12.7 million (27%) during the second and third quarters of 2013. In 2012, the Company earned revenues of $20.8 million (66%) during the first and fourth quarters of 2012, compared to $10.7 million (34%) during the second and third quarters of 2012. While the Company is pursuing various strategies to lessen these quarterly fluctuations by increasing non-seasonal business opportunities, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.

 

Costs of Revenues and Gross Profit:

 

Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $5.7 million or 54% from the comparable period last year primarily due to increased frac water heating and hot oil services combined with significantly higher propane costs from the same period last year. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues for the first quarter of 2014 increased to 65% of revenues as compared to 57% of revenues for the first quarter of 2013.

 

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased to $8.9 million representing a $952,000 or 12% increase over the comparable period last year. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 35% as compared to 43% for the comparable period last year. The decline in gross profit percentage was primarily due to the significant increase in propane prices from the comparable period last year. Higher operating costs in our fluid management business also contributed to the overall decline in our gross profit percentage from the same period last year.

 

Below is a more detailed discussion of the various factors that impacted gross profit percentage during the quarter ended March 31, 2014:

 

(1)Prior to January 2014, many of our frac water heating customers in the DJ Basin were billed on a per barrel of water heated basis which included the price of propane. As result, our gross profit percentage was immediately impacted once propane prices started to rise in December 2013 and was further impacted as prices continued to rise in January 2014. In late January and early February, the Company was able to renegotiate pricing for propane with these customers to a cost plus basis which is similar to the billing method we use in our other regions. Under this method, propane is billed at cost plus a fixed dollar per gallon mark-up. This change in pricing eliminated the negative impact on gross profit percentage due to increases in propane prices. However, management estimates that the impact to gross profits from the increase in propane prices under the old per barrel billing was approximately $500,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

21
 

 

(2)Higher propane prices also tend to reduce gross profit percentages on frac heating customers which bill propane on a cost plus basis. Typically, our mark-up on propane is a fixed dollar amount per gallon. As propane prices increase, this fixed dollar mark-up becomes a smaller percentage of the billed propane costs resulting in a lower gross profit percentages. The increase in propane prices also cause propane revenues to become a larger portion of total revenues. As a result, the lower propane margins tend to dilute our overall gross profit percentage. We estimate that the higher propane prices and corresponding impact to propane margins diluted our overall gross profit percentage in 2014 by approximately 4% to 5% of revenues.

 

(3)Gross profits for our fluid management business in Central USA decreased by $381,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period last year resulting in a drop in our consolidated gross profit percentage of approximately 1.5%. Higher labor costs and truck repair costs were the primary factors for the decline in gross profit.

 

The Company anticipates that propane prices will continue to fluctuate in the future based on the relative demand and availability of propane in different geographic areas across the United States. Since the Company passes along the cost of propane to its customers on a cost plus mark-up basis, fluctuations in the price of propane will continue to impact revenues, cost of revenues and gross profit percentages. Decreases in propane prices will tend to reduce well enhancement revenues and costs of revenues and may increase our overall gross profit percentage as the dollar value of lower margin propane revenue and cost of revenue becomes a lower percentage of total revenue. Conversely, increases in propane prices similar to what the Company experienced during this quarter, will tend to increase well enhancement revenues and costs of revenues and may decrease our gross profit percentage, as the dollar value of lower margin propane revenue and cost of revenue becomes a higher percentage of total revenue.

 

General and Administrative Expenses:

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $303,000 or 35% as compared to the same period last year. Higher personnel costs due to the addition of various operational and accounting personnel to support the Company’s growth including a CFO in April 2013 and Operations Manager in October 2013 was the primary reason for the higher costs in 2014. In addition, franchise taxes were $105,000 lower during the comparative period last year due to a large credit received in March 2013. Higher investor relations and professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2014 also contributed to the increase over the comparable period last year.

 

Depreciation and Amortization:

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $114,000 or 20% from the comparable period last year. The increase in depreciation expense was due to the additional depreciation from new equipment placed into service over the last 12 months.

 

Income Taxes:

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $2.7 million on pre-tax income of $6.9 million as compared to $2.6 million of income tax expense on pre-tax income of $6.6 million for the comparable period last year.

 

The effective tax rate on income from operations was approximately 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This effective tax rate, as compared to a generally expected federal corporate tax rate of 34%, is primarily due to state and local income tax.

Adjusted EBITDA*

 

Management believes that, for the reasons set forth below, Adjusted EBITDA (even though a non-GAAP measure) is a valuable measurement of the Company's liquidity and performance and is consistent with the measurements offered by other companies in Enservco's industry. The following table presents a reconciliation of our net income to our Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:

 

   For Three Months Ended

Adjusted EBITDA*  $7,866,386   $7,209,714 

 

*Note: See below for discussion of the use of non-GAAP financial measurements.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial statements and for use within management’s discussion and analysis based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader's understanding of the Company’s financial performance, but no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided herein.

 

EBITDA is defined as net income plus or minus interest expense plus taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing the Company’s operating performance (see list of these items to follow below). None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its operational and financial decision-making, believing that it is useful to eliminate certain items in order to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance and the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from operations. Management also believes that investors may find non-GAAP financial measures useful for the same reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures.

 

All of the items included in the reconciliation from Net Income to EBITDA and from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g., depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation, etc.) or (ii) items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing the Company’s operating performance (e.g., income taxes, gain on sale of investments, loss on disposal of assets, etc.). In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can better assess the Company’s operating performance if the measures are presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not affect the Company’s ability to generate free cash flow or invest in its business.

 

Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the Company’s performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures.

Changes in Adjusted EBITDA*

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $7.9 million as compared to $7.2 million for the comparable period last year. As a percentage of revenues, Adjusted EBITDA declined to 31% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 39% for the same period last year. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to the per barrel pricing issue in the DJ basin and overall increase in propane prices as discussed in the cost of revenues and gross profit section above.

Overview:

 

We have relied on cash flow from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and equipment financing to satisfy our liquidity needs. Our ability to fund operating cash flow shortfalls, fund capital expenditures, and make acquisitions will depend upon our future operating performance and on the availability of equity and debt financing.

 

On November 2, 2012, the Company and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) entered into a credit facility under which the Company and its subsidiaries refinanced a majority of its existing indebtedness. The PNC credit facility includes a $5.0 million revolving line of credit and a $12.4 million equipment term loan. Advances under both the revolving and term loans incur interest based upon an effective Eurodollar rate or alternate base rate for domestic loans.

 

24
 

 

The revolving line of credit has a variable interest rate that is based, at the Company’s discretion, of 1 month LIBOR plus 3.25% for Eurodollar Loans or PNC Bank rate plus 1.25% for domestic loans. The revolving line of credit is secured with inventory and accounts of the company and has a facility fee of .375% per annum, which is applied to any undrawn portion of the maximum revolving advance amount. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $1,000,000 of Eurodollar loans and $158,971 domestic rate loans outstanding under the revolving line of credit.

 

The term note is payable in twenty-three fixed monthly principal payments of $172,620 beginning November 30, 2013 with the remaining principal balance due on November 2, 2015. The term loan has a variable interest rate that is based, at the Company’s discretion of 1 month LIBOR plus 4.25% for Eurodollar Rate Loans or PNC Base Rate plus 2.25% for Domestic Rate Loans. As discussed in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the interest rate of the original term loan at an effective rate of 4.89% through the term of the loan. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $11,473,816 of Eurodollar loans and $91,660 of domestic rate loans under the term note.

 

The PNC credit facility has certain customary financial covenants that include, among others:

 

(i)an annual limit on capital expenditures ($12,000,000 for 2014 and $2,500,000 annually thereafter);
(ii)a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined, not less than 1.1:1, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, and must be determined based on trailing twelve month information.); and
(iii)a minimum tangible net worth test (set annually by the lender based upon financial projections of the Company and is measured on a quarterly basis). The tangible net worth limit for 2014 was based upon projections and ranges from $13,065,000 to $15,313,000.

 

These financial covenants could restrict our ability to secure additional debt financing or access funds under our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2014 the Company met all of the covenants imposed by the loan agreements with PNC.

 

Working Capital:

 

As of March 31, 2014 the Company had working capital of approximately $11.2 million, an increase in working capital of approximately $3.0 million as compared to our 2013 fiscal year end. The increase in working capital was primarily due to the $6.1 million increase in accounts receivable resulting from higher revenues during the first quarter of 2014, partially offset by a $1.5 increase in income taxes payable and a $1.2 increase in borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

 

Cash flow from Operating Activities:

 

Cash flow used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $10,000 as compared to a positive cash flow from operating activities of $655,000 during the comparable period last year. The decrease in cash flow from operations was largely due to a change in deferred taxes. During the comparable period last year, significant differences between book and tax depreciation resulted in a $1.5 million increase in cash flow from operations whereas the book/tax differences were not as significant and resulted in no significant addition to cash flow from operations during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

Cash flow from Investing Activities:

 

Cash flow used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1.5 million as compared to a positive cash flow from investing activities of $1.2 million during the comparable period last year. The $2.7 million change in cash flows was the result of $1.5 million being used for purchases of equipment in 2014 whereas 2013 included $1.8 million of cash proceeds from sale of well site construction equipment.

 

25
 

 

Cash flow from Financing Activities:

 

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $712,000 as compared to cash used of $1.6 million for the comparable period last year. The change was primarily due to the timing of borrowings and payments under the PNC revolving credit facility related to working capital needs.

 

Outlook:

 

The Company plans to continue to expand its business operations by acquiring and fabricating additional equipment and increasing the volume and scope of services offered to our existing customers. During 2013, the Company announced CAPEX programs of $10.1 million with approximately $7 million allocated to expanding frac water heating and hot oiling capacity. The Company spent $6.0 million of the 2013 CAPEX program during fiscal 2013 and the remaining $4.1 million was carried over in 2014. In May 2014, the Company received approval from PNC bank to increase its 2014 CAPEX spending to $12.0 million. The Company has initially allocated $9.8 million towards fabrication of new equipment. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has spent approximately $1.5 million on capital expenditures and plans to spend the remaining $10.5 million dollars during 2014.

 

The Company believes that its cash on hand and expected level of operating cash flows will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and capital spending programs for 2014. The Company’s cash on hand will most likely be supplemented with available borrowing capacity under its $5 million revolving line of credit facility to supplement working capital during the heating season (September 2014 to April 2015).

 

Capital Commitments and Obligations:

 

The Company’s capital obligations as of March 31, 2014 consists primarily of scheduled principal payments under the PNC Term Loan, the PNC Revolving Line of Credit, as well as other bank debt and certain operating leases.  General terms and conditions for, and amounts due under, these commitments and obligations are summarized in the notes to the financial statements. 

 

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $1.6 million in outstanding purchase commitments that are necessary to complete fabrication for two new acid trucks and four new hot oil trucks.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and (ii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements.

 

Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results of operation and/or financial condition. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

 

While all of the significant accounting policies are important to the Company’s financial statements, the following accounting policies and the estimates derived there from have been identified as being critical.

 

26
 

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers. The Company provides a reserve for doubtful accounts based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The provision for uncollectible amounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses. The allowance is management's best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical performance that is tracked by the Company on an ongoing basis. The losses ultimately incurred could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining the allowance.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed determinable, services are provided, and collection is reasonably assured. Due to the seasonality of the Company’s operations, a significant portion of revenues are recognized during the colder, winter months of the year. Therefore, the Company believes that, the revenues recognized for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are not indicative of quarterly revenues through the remainder of the fiscal year.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consists of (1) trucks, trailers and pickups; (2) trucks that are in various stages of fabrication; (3) real property which includes land and buildings used for office and shop facilities and wells used for the disposal of water; and (4) other equipment such as tools used for maintaining and repairing vehicles, office furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company charges repairs and maintenance against income when incurred and capitalizes renewals and betterments, which extend the remaining useful life or expand the capacity or efficiency of the assets. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 5 to 30 years.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company looks primarily to the discounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income taxes are classified as a net current or non-current asset or liability based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes.  A deferred tax asset or liability that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting is classified according to the expected reversal date.  The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that it believes is more likely than not expected to be realized.

 

The Company accounts for any uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous.  As such, the Company is required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding income tax exposures. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax law and regulations change over time and may result in changes to the Company’s subjective assumptions and judgments which can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income. The result of the reassessment of the Company’s tax positions did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

27
 

 

Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as general and administrative expenses. No interest or penalties have been assessed as of March 31, 2014. The Company files tax returns in the United States and in the states in which it conducts its business operations. The tax years 2010 through 2013 remain open to examination in the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model as a method for determining the estimated fair value for all stock options awarded to employees, officers, and directors. The expected term of the options is based upon evaluation of historical and expected further exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life of the grant. Volatility is determined upon historical volatility of our stock and adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical experience. The dividend yield is assumed to be none as we have not paid dividends nor do we anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We also use the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of warrants. Expected volatility is based upon the weighted average of historical volatility over the contractual term of the warrant and implied volatility. The risk-free interest rate is basis upon implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the contractual term of the warrants. The dividend yield is assumed to be none.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Other than the guarantees made by Enservco (as the parent Company) and by Mr. Michael Herman (Chairman) on various loan agreements and operating leases disclosed in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

 

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), as of March 31, 2014, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer).

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

During the period from March 14, 2014 through May 8, 2014, a number of holders of common stock purchase warrants exercised those warrants and received shares of common stock as a result of such exercise. The warrants had originally been issued to accredited investors and underwriters in connection with an equity financing that the Company completed in November 2012. In total, warrants to acquire 393,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.55 per share were exercised by two individuals from the firm that underwrote the offering. Of those:

·Warrants to acquire 215,000 common shares were exercised on a cashless basis resulting in the issuance of 166,551 shares of common stock; and
·Warrants to acquire 178,500 common shares were exercised resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $98,175.

 

The following sets forth the information required by Item 701 of SEC Regulation S-K.

 

(a)         Securities Sold: Common Stock, $0.005 par value, of Enservco. The date of the sales are outlined above.

 

(b)         Underwriters and Other Purchasers. Two individuals from the underwriting firm exercised warrants to acquire 393,500 shares of common stock resulting in the issuance of 345,051 shares of common stock.

 

(c)         Consideration. Warrants to acquire 215,000 common shares were exercised on a cashless basis resulting in the issuance of 166,551 shares of common stock. Warrants to acquire 178,500 common shares were exercised resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $98,175. In each case where the warrants are entitled to a cashless exercise, the Company has interpreted the term “fair market value” of the underlying shares to equal the ten day VWAP for the Company’s common stock, ending on the day before notice of exercise is received by the Company.

 

(d)         Exemption from Registration Claimed. The shares were issued upon exercise of the warrants to accredited investors and to underwriters pursuant to the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 found in Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506 thereunder, as well as in Section 4(a)(5) thereof in that each of the purchasers was an accredited investor, and Section 3(a)(9) inasmuch as each of the warrant holders was an existing security holder of Enservco. The offer was made without any form of advertising or general solicitation, and each of the accredited investors represented to Enservco that they acquired the shares and the underlying securities for investment purposes only and without a view toward further distribution.

 

(e)         Terms of Conversion or Exercise. Not applicable.

 

(f)         Use of Proceeds. Not applicable.
