ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

This annual report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined under applicable securities laws. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” that may cause the Company’s or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars (USD) and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Any reference herein to “ESP Resources,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” is intended to mean ESP Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation, including our subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated.

In this Annual Report, unless otherwise specified, all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares of our capital stock, having a par value of $0.001 per share.

Corporate History

We were incorporated on October 27, 2004, in the State of Nevada. Our principal offices are located at 1003 South Hugh Wallis Road, Suite G-1, Lafayette, Louisiana 70508.

Effective September 28, 2007, we completed a merger with our subsidiary, Pantera Petroleum Inc., a Nevada corporation. As a result, we changed our name from “Arthro Pharmaceuticals, Inc.” to “Pantera Petroleum, Inc.” In addition, effective September 28, 2007, we effected a sixteen-for-one forward stock split of our authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 common shares to 1,200,000,000 common shares with the same par value of $0.001. At that time, our issued and outstanding share capital increased from 6,970,909 common shares to 111,534,544 common shares.

In December 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with ESP Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ESP Delaware”), whereby the Company acquired 100% ownership of ESP Delaware in exchange for 292,682,297 common shares. As a result of this acquisition, we changed our name from “Pantera Petroleum, Inc.” to “ESP Resources, Inc.” On January 27, 2009, we effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of our common stock and received a new ticker symbol. The name change and reverse stock split became effective with the OTC Venture Stage Marketplace (OTCQB) at the opening of trading on January 27, 2009 under the new symbol “ESPI”. Our new CUSIP number is 26913L104.

On July 29, 2011 the shareholders decreased the authorized shares of our common stock from 1,200,000,000 shares to 350,000,000 shares and authorized a new class of stock, preferred stock having 10,000,000 shares of stock authorized at $.001 par value.

Our Business

Through our subsidiaries, we manufacture, blend, distribute and market specialty chemicals and analytical services to the oil and gas industry and provide services for the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors of the energy industry, including new construction, major modifications to operational support for onshore and offshore production, gathering, refining facilities and pipelines designed to optimize performance and increase operators’ return on investment.

ESP Petrochemicals, Inc.

Through our wholly owned subsidiary ESP Petrochemicals, Inc. (“ESP Petro”), we offer analytical services and essential custom-blended oil and gas well chemicals which improve production yields and overall efficiencies. Our mission is to provide applications of surface chemistry to service all facets of the fossil energy business via a high level of innovation. We focus our efforts on solving problems at the drilling site or well with a complex integration of chemicals and methods to achieve the highest level of quality petroleum output. Constant management of our chemical applications at the drilling site or well, continuous monitoring of the productivity and outflow levels of oil and gas, responding to customers’ changing demands and applying our skills as chemical formulators enable us to measure the impact we have in our business.

ESP Petro acts as a manufacturer, distributor and marketer of specialty chemicals and supply specialty chemicals for a variety of oil and gas field applications including killing bacteria, separating suspended water and other contaminants from crude oil, separating the oil from the gas, pumping enhancement, pumping cleaning, as well as a variety of fluids and additives used in the drilling and production process. At each well that is in production, there exist a number of factors that make each site unique. These include the depth of the producing formation, the bottom-hole temperature of the producing well, the size of the well head through which the producing fluids flow, the size and pressure ratings of the production equipment, including the separators, heater-treaters, compression equipment, size of production tubulars in the wellbore, size of the storage tanks on the customers’ location, and pressure ratings of the sales lines for the oil and gas products. Wells that are operating short distances from each other in the same field can have very different characteristics. This variance in operating conditions, chemical makeup of the oil, and the usage of diverse equipment requires a very specific chemical blend to be used if maximum drilling and production well performance is to be attained.

Our customer base is generally comprised of oil and gas exploration companies that plan, finance, drill and operate wells through the point of full depletion. Of the various stages involved in the development of an oil and gas well, we offer our products and services to our customers in principally two main areas: completion petrochemicals and production petrochemicals.

Completion Petrochemicals

Our completion petrochemicals are primarily used during the completion stage of oil or gas wells that are drilled in various shale formations in the United States. After a well is drilled, we deliver a specialized chemical equipment trailer, or chemical delivery unit, that is used in the pumping of chemicals during the hydraulic fracturing process. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technology used to inject a fluid into a well to create fractures in the minerals containing the oil or gas. Usually the fluid is water, sand, and chemical additives. Our chemical delivery units pump chemicals to treat the fluids used in the completion of the oil and gas wells during the fracking process. Each unit consists of a trailer mounted pumping system with associated power generation components, a chemical supply trailer, safety and spill prevention equipment, communication devices, and computerized reporting equipment.

The units pump treatment chemicals to eliminate the bacteria contamination present in the fluids used in the fracking process. We have developed a specialized chemical formulation that is intended to provide for a longer term bacteria-contamination elimination time frame than what is currently supplied by our competitors. The longer term time frame is designed to provide our customers significant cost savings in the removal treatment of contaminants from the oil and gas well-stream once the well has been placed into production.

Once the completion works is concluded at the well, which typically takes between 2-5 days, our chemical delivery units are moved out of the location and sent back to the appropriate district office for the next completion job.

Production Petrochemicals

After a well has been completed and placed into production, we supply production chemicals and services that are designed to be administered throughout the life of the well. Through the utilization of over 100 base chemicals, we replicate well conditions, analyze the properties of the well, determine the precise mix of chemicals to treat the well and then inject the chemicals in small batches via our specialized equipment. Our production petrochemicals include, but are not limited to, drilling chemicals, waste remediation chemicals, cleaners and waste treatment chemicals as follows:

●	Surfactants that are highly effective in treating production and injection problems at the customer well- head;
●	Well completion and work-over chemicals that maximize productivity from new and existing wells;

●	Bactericides that kill water borne bacterial growth, thus preventing corrosion and plugging of the customer well-head and flowline;
●	Scale compounds that prevent or treat scale deposits;

●	Corrosion inhibitors, which are organic compounds that form a protective film on metal surfaces to insulate the metal from its corrosive environment;
●	Antifoams that provide safe economic means of controlling foaming problems;

●	Emulsion breakers, which are chemicals specially formulated for crude oils containing produced waters;
●	Paraffin chemicals that inhibit and/or dissolve paraffin to prevent buildup (their effectiveness is not diminished when used in conjunction with other chemicals); and

●	Water clarifiers that solve any and all of the problems associated with purifying effluent water and that improve appearance

Our first goal is to solve our customers’ problem at the well and optimize drilling or production and, secondly, the sale of our products. Typically, our service personnel gather information at a well and enter the data into the analytical system at each of our five respective district offices located in Rayne, Louisiana; Pharr, Texas; Victoria, Texas and Center, Texas. The analytical system provides testing parameters and reproduces conditions at the wellhead. This allows our technical team and chemists to design and test a new chemical blend in a very short period of time. In many cases, a new blend may be in service at the well in as little as 24 hours.

Once the chemical blend has been formulated and determined, the chemical is placed in service at the wellhead of the customer by delivering a storage tank, called a “day tank,” at the customer’s well-site location and filling the tank with the custom blended chemicals. The tank is tied to a pressure pump that provides the pumping capacity to deliver the chemical into the wellhead for the customer. This unique process shortens the chemical development time frame from what might have been as long as two months or more to a few days or hours. Management believes that the service, response times and chemical products that the Company strives to provide its customers is a differentiating factor within the industry.

Discontinued operations

On June 11, 2013, the board of directors resolved to discontinue operations of various subsidiaries, including ESP Facility and Pipeline Services, Inc., ESP Advanced Technologies, Inc., ESP KUJV Limited Joint Venture and ESP Marketing Group LLC (collectively, the “Discontinued Subsidiaries”). The Discontinued Subsidiaries were not wholly-owned by the Company and, in accordance with the decision to discontinue operations, no longer receive financial or management support. The Company reflected 100% of the losses related to the subsidiaries in its results from discontinued operations.

Competition

The Company currently shares market distribution with several, significantly larger participants, including Baker Petrolite (a Baker Hughs company), Nalco Energy Services (an Ecolab company), Champion Technologies, Inc., X-Chem, CESI Chemicals, Inc., BJ Services (a Baker Hughes company) and Multi-Chem Group (a Halliburton company). There are also many small to medium sized businesses that are regionally located. To be competitive in the industry, we need to continually enhance and update our chemical processes and technologies to address the evolving needs of our customers for increased production efficiency. We continue to allocate resources toward the development of new chemical processes to maintain the efficacy of our technology and our ability to compete so that we can continue to grow our business.

Our competitive strategy is to provide better service and response times, combined with superior chemical solutions that can be translated into savings for our customers. We believe that we are able to solve these problems due to the following competitive advantages:

●	Personalized service;
●	Expedited field analysis; and

●	Convenience and access to the best available market rates and products that we can produce and identify for our customers that are currently offered by our suppliers.

Additionally, new companies are constantly entering the market. This growth and fragmentation could also have a negative impact on our ability to obtain additional market share. Larger companies, which have been engaged in this business for substantially longer periods of time, may have access to greater financial resources and industry relationships. These companies may have greater success in recruiting and retaining qualified employees in specialty chemical manufacturing and marketing, which may give them a competitive advantage.

Government Approval and Regulation

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances, including those concerning emissions and discharges, and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment, disposal and import and export of hazardous materials (collectively, “Environmental Laws”). The operation of the Company’s facilities and the distribution of chemical products entail risks under Environmental Laws, many of which provide for substantial remediation costs in the event of discharges of contaminants and fines and sanctions for violations. Violations of Environmental Laws could result in the imposition of substantial criminal fines and penalties against the Company and their officers and employees in certain circumstances. The costs associated with responding to civil or criminal matters can be substantial. Also, significant civil or criminal violations could adversely impact the Company’s marketing ability in the region served by the Company. Compliance with existing and future Environmental Laws may require significant capital expenditures by the Company, although we do not anticipate having to expend significant resources to comply with any governmental regulations applicable to our current operations.

We are required to obtain licenses and permits from various governmental authorities in connection with our operations. We anticipate that we will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits to carry on the activities which we intend to conduct, and that we intend to comply in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits. However, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain and maintain, at all times, all necessary licenses and permits required to undertake our proposed exploration and development or to place our properties into commercial production. In the event that we proceed with our operation without necessary licenses and permits, we may be subject to large fines and possibly even court orders and injunctions to cease operations.

Oil and gas operations are subject to federal and state laws and regulations that seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Furthermore, oil and gas operations in the United States are subject to federal and state laws and regulations concerning the construction and operation of facilities, the use of water in industrial processes, the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge/release of materials into the environment.

We are also subject to the laws and regulations that are generally applicable to business operations, such as business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes.

The Company knows of no existing contamination sites where the Company supplies petrochemicals for our current customer locations. The title for the chemicals that we supply to our customer base passes from us to the customer upon delivery of the chemical to the customer location. We have insurance that covers accidental spillage and cleanup at our blending location and for transportation to the customer location; however, the customer is responsible for the integrity of the chemical once the chemical blend is delivered to the receiving point of the customer.

Number of Employees

On December 31, 2014, we had 38 full-time employees. We expect to increase the number of employees as we implement our business objectives and expand our management team. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The management of the Company is comprised of a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals, and we focus on training and professional development for all levels of employees and on hiring additional experienced employees.

ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS

The shares of our common stock are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this annual report before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

Our specialty chemical business will be dependent on the oil and gas industry which has historically been volatile and could negatively affect our results of operations.

Demand for our oil and gas field specialty chemical products and services depends in large part upon the level of exploration and production of oil and gas and the industry’s willingness to spend capital on environmental and oil and gas field services, which in turn depends on oil and gas prices, expectations about future prices, the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas, the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves and the ability of oil and gas companies to raise capital. Domestic and international political, military, regulatory and economic conditions also affect the industry.

Prices for oil and gas historically have been volatile and have reacted to changes in the supply of and the demand for oil and natural gas, domestic and worldwide economic conditions and political instability in oil producing countries. No assurance can be given that current levels of oil and gas activities will be maintained or that demand for our services will reflect the level of such activities. Prices for oil and natural gas are expected to continue to be volatile and affect the demand for specialty chemical products and services such as ours. A material decline in oil or natural gas prices or activities could materially affect the demand for our products and services and, therefore, our financial condition.

Competition in the oil and gas services industry is very intense and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring new customers over our competitors.

The oil and gas service industry is very competitive. We compete with numerous companies, including companies that are much larger and have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staff. We are required to obtain licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. We anticipate that we will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits to carry on the activities which we intend to conduct, and that we intend to comply in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits. However, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain and maintain, at all times, all necessary licenses and permits required to continually operate our business.

The potential costs of environmental compliance in our petrochemical business could have a material negative economic impact on our operations and financial condition.

Our specialty chemical business is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances, including those concerning emissions and discharges, and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment, disposal and import and export of hazardous materials (“Environmental Laws”). The operation of the Company’s facilities and the distribution of chemical products entail risks under Environmental Laws, many of which provide for substantial remediation costs in the event of discharges of contaminants and fines and sanctions for violations. Violations of Environmental Laws could result in the imposition of substantial criminal fines and penalties against the Company and their officers and employees in certain circumstances. The costs associated with responding to civil or criminal matters can be substantial. Also, significant civil or criminal violations could adversely impact the Company’s marketing ability in the region served by the Company. Compliance with existing and future Environmental Laws may require significant capital expenditures by the Company.

There can be no assurance that past or future operations will not result in the Company incurring material environmental liabilities and costs or that compliance with Environmental Laws will not require material capital expenditures by the Company, each of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The Company knows of no existing contamination sites where the Company supplies petrochemicals for their current customer locations. The title for the chemicals that we supply to our customer base passes from us to the customer upon delivery of the chemical to the customer location. We have insurance that covers accidental spillage and cleanup at our blending location and for transportation to the customer location; however, the customer is responsible for the integrity of the chemical once the chemical blend is delivered to the receiving point of the customer.

The Company intends to conduct appropriate due diligence with respect to environmental matters in connection with future acquisitions, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify or be indemnified for all potential environmental liabilities relating to any acquired business. Although the Company has obtained insurance and indemnities for certain contamination conditions, such insurance and indemnities are limited.

Operating hazards in our petrochemical business could have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial condition.

Our specialty chemicals operations are subject to the numerous hazards associated with the handling, transportation, blending, storage, sale, ownership and other activities relating to chemicals. These hazards include, but are not limited to, storage tank or pipeline leaks and ruptures, explosions, fires, chemical spills, discharges or releases of toxic substances or gases, mechanical failures, transportation accidents, any of which could materially and adversely affect the Company. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment, environmental damage and may result in suspension of operations.

The Company will maintain insurance coverage in the amounts and against the risks it believes are in accordance with industry practice, but this insurance will not cover all types or amounts of liabilities. The Company currently has spillage, transportation, and handling insurance. No assurance can be given that this insurance will be adequate to cover all losses or liabilities the Company may incur in its operations or that the Company will be able to maintain insurance of the types or at levels that are adequate or at reasonable rates.

Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitability.

The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the United States or any other jurisdiction, may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter the ability of the Company to carry on our business. The continued media attention toward the use of hydraulic fracturing of oil & gas wells by our customers could adversely impact governmental regulations in the states in which we provide our fracking chemicals and have a negative impact on our business.

The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitably.

We may be unable to retain key personnel and there is no guarantee that we could find a comparable replacement.

We may be unable to retain key employees or consultants or recruit additional qualified personnel. Our limited personnel means that we would be required to spend significant sums of money to locate and train new employees in the event any of our employees resign or terminate their employment with us for any reason. We are largely dependent on the continued service of our President and CEO, David Dugas. We may not have the financial resources to hire a replacement if we lost the services of Mr. Dugas. The loss of service of Mr. Dugas could therefore significantly and adversely affect our operations.

The specialty chemicals business is highly competitive and the competition may adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business faces significant competition from major international producers as well as smaller regional competitors. Our most significant competitors include major chemicals and materials manufacturers and diversified companies, a number of which have revenues and capital resources far exceeding ours. Substitute products also exist for many of our products. Therefore, we face substantial risk that certain events, such as new product development by our competitors, changing customer needs, production advances for competing products, price changes in raw materials, could result in declining demand for our products as our customers switch to substitute products or undertake manufacturing of such products on their own. If we are unable to develop and produce or market our products to effectively compete against our competitors, our results of operations may materially suffer.

We have certain concentrations within our customer base, and the loss certain customers could have a material adverse impact on our business.

As of December 31, 2014, we had a total of 83 customers, four of which were major customers that together accounted for 68% of accounts receivable and 59% of the total revenues earned for the year ended December 31, 2014. The loss of one or more of our major customers would have a serious material negative economic impact on the Company and our ability to continue. There is no guarantee that we could replace one of these customers and if we were able to replace them, there is no guarantee that the revenues would be equal.

Need for additional employees

The Company’s future success also depends upon its continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Expansion of the Company’s business and the management and operation of the Company will require additional managers and employees with industry experience, and the success of the Company will be highly dependent on the Company’s ability to attract and retain skilled management personnel and other employees. Competition for such personnel is intense. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel.

Competition for skilled personnel in the oil and gas services industry is significant. This competition may make it more difficult and expensive to attract, hire and retain qualified managers and employees. The Company’s inability to attract skilled management personnel and other employees as needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. The Company’s arrangement with its current employees is at will, meaning its employees may voluntarily terminate their employment at any time. The Company anticipates that the use of stock options, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights, and phantom stock awards will be valuable in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. However, the effects of such plan cannot be certain.

At the current time, our consolidated operations are not profitable.

There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the general economic cycle, the market price of oil and gas and exploration and development costs. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. In particular, additional capital may be required in the event that costs increase beyond our expectations, such as cost of products sold or research and development cost, or we encounter greater costs associated with general and administrative expenses or offering costs.

We are dependent on outside capital to continuously fund any cash flow deficits and expect this to continue until we are profitable.

Until we can reach a significant level of profitability, we will depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for the continued growth of our business. Such outside capital may include the sale of additional stock and/or commercial borrowing. Capital may not continue to be available if necessary to meet our continuing operational needs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations of our business, the result of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their investment.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.

We may never pay any dividends to shareholders.

We have never declared nor paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations that may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 3a51-1, which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, including Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements that may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Our common stock may be negatively impacted by factors that are unrelated to our operations.

Our common stock currently trades on a limited basis on the OTC Venture Stage Marketplace (OTCQB). Trading of our stock through the OTCQB is highly volatile. There is no assurance that a sufficient market will develop in our stock, in which case it could be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of our competitors, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses that could inadvertently and adversely impact investors in our stock.

The Company is aware that that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

●	Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
●	Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

●	“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by sales persons;
●	Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

●	Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protection against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the NASDAQ Stock Market, requires the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the NASDAQ Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have an independent directors. We do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. Currently, our bylaws only allow for a total of three directors. As a result, these directors have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.

We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.

For all of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in our securities in any market that may develop in the future involves a high degree of risk.

ITEM 1B - UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

There are no unresolved staff comments.

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

We currently own no real property and lease our office space and production facilities.

Our principal executive offices are located at 1003 South Hugh Wallis Road Suite G-1 Lafayette, Louisiana 70508. Our telephone number is (832) 342-9131.

These leases have remaining terms from January 2018 to June 2023 with monthly rent ranging from $1,500 to $8,750, with an aggregate monthly rent of $14,850.

On June 1, 2013 the Company entered into a ten-year lease requiring monthly payment of $8,750 for our primary production facility in Rayne, Louisiana. The Company has the option to purchase the property for five years commencing one year after lease execution. The purchase option price will be for $100,000 above the lessor’s full cost of ownership for the first two years of the option, and increase by $50,000 per year for the third through fifth year of the option term.

The sublease became effective July 1, 2013, with the term of the sublease coinciding with the original lease by the Company. The Company determined the remaining lease cost plus amortization and depreciation on the remaining leasehold improvements and equipment exceeded the sublease income by $274,555 and reflected a loss on disposal.

Actual results may materially differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties set forth in this report. Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual results will not be different from expectations expressed in this report.

We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This filing contains a number of forward-looking statements which reflect management’s current views and expectations with respect to our business, strategies, products, future results and events, and financial performance.

Revenues

Revenue from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $11,912,045, compared to $10,591,111 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $1,320,934, or 12%. The increase was primarily due to a increase in sales volume petrochemical sales and services to new customers engaged production petrochemicals in the South-East Texas regions.

Gross Profit

The Company’s gross profit from continuing operations, as a percentage of revenue for the year, was 66% compared to 51% for the same period in 2013, an increase of 15%. The increase in gross margin results from of an increased portion of our business from production petrochemical sales which have a higher gross profit margin of 65% compared to completion chemicals 54% gross profit margin.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $23,255, or 0% for the year, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in expenses for the year is primarily due to the increase of $649,567 in stock compensation from $1,177,697 in year ended December 31, 2013 to $1,827,265 in the year ended December 31, 2014, and reduction in legal and professional fees.

The Company recognized a gain on disposal of certain assets in 2014 of $155,526 and in the period ended December 31, 2013 a loss on disposal of certain assets of $327,174 and impairment loss on assets held for sale of $133,556, representing the closure cost of the former corporate offices in The Woodlands, Texas and anticipated loss on assets held for sale. There were no comparable amounts in the prior fiscal year.

Net Loss

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $2,061,441, a decrease of $3,176,336 compared to a loss of $5,237,777 for the same period in 2013. The primary reason for the decrease in the net loss was as a result of an increase gross profit gain on sales of equipment versus a loss of sales of equipment and impairment of assets in 2013; in change in loss from discontinued operations of $365,421 compared to $0 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 2014, respectively.

Modified EBITDA

Modified Earnings before interest (including factoring fees), taxes, depreciation amortization and stock-based compensation (“Modified EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure. We use Modified EBITDA as an unaudited supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, taxes or historical cost basis; our liquidity and operating performance over time in relation to other companies that own similar assets and that we believe calculate Modified EBITDA in a similar manner; and the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient for us to pay potential interest costs. We also understand that such data are used by investors to assess our performance. However, the term Modified EBITDA is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles and Modified EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. When assessing our operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities, or other cash flow data calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Modified EBITDA increased from a loss of $2,396,630 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to a gain of $1,630,780 for the year ended December 31, 2014 and is calculated as follows:

	Year Ended December 31, 2014			Year Ended December 31, 2013

Net loss	$	(2,061,441	)	$	(5,237,777	)

Add back loss on extinguishment of debt		-			310,767
Modified EBITDA	$	1,630,780		$	(2,396,630	)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash

As of December 31, 2014, we had $121,880 of cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $5,757 as of December 31, 2013.

Cash Flow

The cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are summarized below:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2014			2013

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	1,198,358		$	1,308,182
Net cash used in investing activities		(350,009	)		(47,472	)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities		(732,226	)		(1,325,167	)
Net decrease in cash	$	116,123		$	(64,457	)

Cash inflow from operations during the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to $1,198,358 as compared to net cash inflows from operations of $1,308,182 in the same period of 2013. The decrease in cash inflow was due primarily to the increase in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses; decreases in inventory and prepaid expenses.

Our cash outflows used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to $350,009 as compared to $47,472 in the same period of 2013. Cash outflows for the proceeds from the sale of vehicles and equipment the proceeds from the sale of vehicles and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased to $21,477 compared to $131,533 for the same period in 2013.

Our cash outflows from financing activities amounted to $732,226 in the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to a cash outflow of $1,325,167 in the same period of 2013. The primary change was due to the increase in factoring advances and reduction in payment of debt; offset by the payment of settlement on contingent liabilities.

Working Capital

We estimate that our general operating expenses for the next twelve month period will remain the same as compared to the levels of 2014 for such items as professional and consulting fees, salaries, travel, telephone, office and warehouse rent, and ongoing legal, accounting, and audit expenses to comply with our reporting responsibilities as a public company under the United States Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any increase in general operating expenses will be due to increases in field operating personnel as the demands from current and new customers increase.

As of December 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $6,264,530. We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy. To date, we have had negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. Even though we anticipate our net loss and negative cash flows to lessen over the coming quarters, we anticipate that we will have to continue to fund our net loss through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Furthermore, we may continue to be unprofitable.

Cash Requirements

Our plan of operations for the next 12 months involves the growth of our completion and production petrochemical business through the expansion of district offices, regional sales and analytical services to new and existing customers. We estimate that our needs for additional capital for the next twelve month period to be $3,000,000. However, if our operating expenses or capital expenditures exceed estimates, we will require additional monies during the next twelve months to execute our business plan. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had cash of $121,880 and a working capital deficit of $6,264,530. We incurred a net loss of $2,061,441 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

We can offer no assurance that the Company will generate cash flow sufficient to achieve profitable operations or that our expenses will not exceed our projections. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain funds required for our continued operation. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

Going Concern

Due to our net losses, negative cash flow and negative working capital, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

We have historically incurred losses, and through December 31, 2014 have incurred losses of $26,858,384 since our inception. Because of these historical losses, we will require additional working capital to develop our business operations. We intend to raise additional working capital through private placements, public offerings, bank financing and/or advances from related parties or shareholder loans.

There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available we may not increase our operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. The Company does not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures of the Company. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from such estimates.

Inventory

Inventory represents raw and blended chemicals and other items valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the first-in first-out method, and with market defined as the lower of replacement cost or realizable value.

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to a plan of action based on the then known facts.

As of December 31, 2014, we have not incurred any environmental expenditures.

Derivatives

The valuation of our embedded derivatives and warrant derivatives are determined primarily by the multinomial distribution (Lattice) model. An embedded derivative is a derivative instrument that is embedded within another contract. In the case of a convertible note payable (the host contract), any right to convert the note by the holder, certain default redemption right premiums and a change of control premium (payable in cash if a fundamental change occurs) are each embedded derivative instruments. In accordance with ASC 815 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, these embedded derivatives are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. A warrant derivative liability is also determined in accordance with ASC 815. Based on ASC 815, warrants which are determined to be classified as derivative liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. The practical effect of this has been that when our stock price increases so does our derivative liability and resulting in a non-cash loss charge that reduces our earnings and earnings per share. When our stock price declines, we record a non-cash gain, increasing our earnings and earnings per share.

To determine the fair value of our embedded derivatives, management evaluates assumptions regarding the probability of certain future events. Other factors used to determine fair value include our period end stock price, historical stock volatility, risk free interest rate and derivative term. The fair value recorded for the derivative liability varies from period to period. This variability may result in the actual derivative liability for a period either above or below the estimates recorded on our consolidated financial statements, resulting in significant fluctuations in other income (expense) because of the corresponding non-cash gain or loss recorded.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and identifiable finite-lived intangibles for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The first step of the impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group with the related carrying amount. If the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group exceed its carrying amount, the asset or asset group is not considered to be impaired and the second step is unnecessary. If such assets were considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized would be measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair market value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

ITEM 7A - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITIATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company, as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934, and are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 8 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 9 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

The Company did decided to change auditors on October 17, 2014. The Company did not have any disagreements with its accountants during the previous two fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our President and Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act of 1934. Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent auditors regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent auditors pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any directors or executive officers of the Company.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Our directors, executive officers and control persons have not been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:

1.	any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

2.	any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

4.	being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2014, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners complied with such regulations.

Code of Ethics

Effective August 17, 2007, the Company’s board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, the Company’s President (being our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

1.	honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
2.	full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

3.	compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
4.	the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and

5.	accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of the Company’s personnel shall be accorded full access to our President with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of the Company’s personnel are to be accorded full access to the Company’s board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our President.

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within the Company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to the Company’s President. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the President, the incident must be reported to any member of our board of directors. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against the Company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed as an exhibit with our annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 28, 2007. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: ESP Resources Inc., 1003 South Hugh Wallis Road, Suite G-1, Lafayette, Louisiana 70508.

Nomination Process

As of December 31, 2014, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate the Company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the President of the Company at the address on the cover of this annual report.

Committees of the Board

All proceedings of our board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the corporate laws of the State of Nevada and the bylaws of the Company, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

The Company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does the Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our board of directors.

The Company does not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the early stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. The Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors assesses all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and makes recommendations for election or appointment.

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President, at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B.

We believe that our board of directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of the Company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because the Company believes that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by our board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development.

ITEM 11 - EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Compensation

The following table summarizes the compensation of each name executive for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 awarded to or earned by (i) each individual serving as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company and (ii) each individual that served as an executive officer of the Company at the end of such fiscal years who received compensation in excess of $100,000.

Equity Compensation Plan Information and Stock Options

We do not currently have any equity compensation plans or any outstanding stock options.

Compensation of Directors

We currently have no formal plan for compensating our directors for their services in their capacity as directors, although we may elect to issue stock options to such persons from time to time. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. Our board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director.

ITEM 13 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Except as described below, no director, executive officer, principal shareholder holding at least 5% of our common shares, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction, during the year ended December 31, 2014, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at the yearend for the last three completed fiscal years.

As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had balances due to related parties as follows;

	December 31,
	2014		2013
Due to officer	$	356,583	$	419,382
Due to ESP Enterprises	$	55,790	$	55,790

Corporate Governance

We currently act with two directors consisting of David Dugas and Tony Primeaux. We do not have an “independent director” as that term is defined under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. As we are not presently required to comply with the NASDAQ Listing Rules, the Company has elected to avoid incurring the substantial costs associated with adopting such measures.

We do not have a standing audit, compensation or nominating committee, but our entire board of directors’ acts in such capacities. We believe that the members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of the Company does not believe that it is necessary to have a standing audit, compensation or nominating committee because we believe that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining one or more additional directors who would qualify as independent as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact the we have not generated any revenues from operations to date.

ITEM 14 - PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

The aggregate fees billed or to be billed Turner Stone & Company, LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements included in our Form 10-K during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 were $60,000. The aggregate fees billed or to be billed by MaloneBailey, LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements included in our Form 10-K during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 were $86,000 are as follows:

Type of Fees	Year Ended 2014		Year Ended 2013

Audit Fees	$	60,000	$	86,000
Audit-Related Fees		-		-
Tax Fees		-		-
All Other Fees		-		-
Total	$	60,000	$	86,000

Audit Fees

This category includes fees associated with our annual audit and the reviews of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. This category also includes fees associated with advice on audit and accounting matters that arose during, or as a result of, the audit or the review of our interim financial statements, statutory audits, the assistance with the review of our SEC registration statements and the audit of our internal control over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Audit-Related Fees

There were no fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements.

Tax Fees

This category includes fees for tax planning for merger and acquisition activities, tax consultations, the review of income tax returns and assistance with state tax examinations. We did not engage Turner Stone & Company, LLP or MaloneBailey, LLP to provide any tax services for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

All Other Fees

Our board of directors, who acts as our audit committee, has adopted a policy governing the pre-approval by the board of directors of all services, audit and non-audit, to be provided to the Company by our independent auditors. Under the policy, the board or directors has pre-approved the provision by our independent auditors of specific audit, audit related, tax and other non-audit services as being consistent with auditor independence. Requests or applications to provide services that require the specific pre-approval of the board of directors must be submitted the board of directors by the independent auditors, and the independent auditors must advise the board of directors as to whether, in the independent auditor’s view, the request or application is consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence.

The board of directors has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by Turner Stone & Company, LLP or MaloneBailey, LLP and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining the independence of the firm.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors

ESP Resources, Inc.

Lafayette, Louisiana

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ESP Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and the consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ESP Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses through December 31, 2014 and has a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2014. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors

ESP Resources, Inc.

The Woodlands, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ESP Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013, and the consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ESP Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statement have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, The Company has incurred net losses through December 31, 2013 and has a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation, Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

ESP Resources, Inc. (“ESP Resources”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, “we”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 27, 2004. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ESP Resources, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ESP Petrochemicals, Inc. of Louisiana (“ESP Petrochemicals”), ESP Ventures, Inc. of Delaware (“ESP Ventures”), ESP Corporation, S.A., a Panamanian corporation (“ESP Corporation”) and ESP Payroll Services, Inc. of Nevada (“ESP Payroll”).

On December 19, 2012 the Company formed a partially owned subsidiary in Nevada, IEM, Inc.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Any reference herein to “ESP Resources”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” is intended to mean ESP Resources, Inc. including the subsidiaries indicated above, unless otherwise indicated.

Nature of the Business

By and through its subsidiary ESP Petrochemicals Inc., the Company’s current business sells and blends chemicals for use in the oil and gas industry to customers primarily located in the Gulf of Mexico and Gulf States region. ESP Resources previously was in the business of acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties in North and South America.

On June 15, 2007, ESP Delaware acquired all of the stock of ESP Petrochemicals Inc.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ESP Resources and its wholly owned and partially owned subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had $121,880 and $5,757 cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Restricted Cash

Under the terms of the Factoring payable, the Company may obtain advances up to 100% of eligible accounts receivable, subject to a 0.75% per 15 days factoring fee, with 10% held in a restricted cash reserve account, which is released to the Company upon payment of the receivable. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, restricted cash totaled $283,392 and $113,589, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company generally does not require collateral, and the majority of its trade receivables are unsecured. The carrying amount for accounts receivable approximates fair value.

Accounts receivable consisted of the following as of December 31, 2014 and 2013:

	2014			2013
Trade receivables	$	2,265,534		$	1,842,712
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts		(155,000	)		(95,000	)
Net accounts receivable	$	2,110,534		$	1,747,712

Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients. Provisions for losses on accounts receivable are determined on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance and current economic conditions.

Inventories

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, inventory consisted of the following:

		2014		2013
Raw materials	$	412,978	$	500,824
Finished goods		574,756		670,076
Total inventory	$	987,734	$	1,170,900

Property and equipment

Property and equipment of the Company is stated at cost. Expenditures for property and equipment which substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized at cost and depreciated. Routine expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from five to ten years for financial reporting purposes.

Derivatives

The valuation of our embedded derivatives and warrant derivatives are determined primarily by the multinomial distribution (Lattice) model. An embedded derivative is a derivative instrument that is embedded within another contract, which under the convertible note (the host contract) includes the right to convert the note by the holder, certain default redemption right premiums and a change of control premium (payable in cash if a fundamental change occurs). In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities’, as amended, these embedded derivatives are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. A warrant derivative liability is also determined in accordance with ASC 815. Based on ASC 815, warrants which are determined to be classified as derivative liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. The practical effect of this has been that when our stock price increases so does our derivative liability and resulting in a non-cash loss charge that reduces our earnings and earnings per share. When our stock price declines, we record a non-cash gain, increasing our earnings and earnings per share. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

●

Level 1 -

unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

●

Level 2 -

inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

●

Level 3 -

unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014.

	Carrying Value at		Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2014

Derivative warrant liability	$	75,048	$	-	$	-	$	75,048
Total derivative liability	$	263,875	$	-	$	-	$	263,875

Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Concentration

The Company has four major customers that together account for 68% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2014 and 59% of the total revenues earned for the year ended December 31, 2014.

	Accounts receivable			Revenue

Customer A		25	%		13	%
Customer B		16	%		11	%
Customer C		16	%		6	%
Customer D		11	%		29	%
		68	%		59	%

The Company has four vendors that accounted for 37%, 16%, 16% and 11% of purchases during 2014.

The Company has three major customers that together account for 50% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2013 and 47% of the total revenues earned for the year ended December 31, 2013.

	Accounts receivable			Revenue

Customer A		21	%		11	%
Customer B		16	%		26	%
Customer C		13	%		10	%
		50	%		47	%

The Company has four vendors that accounted for 40%, 24%, 13% and 13% of purchases during 2013.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per depositor per bank. From time to time, the Company’s cash balances exceeded FDIC insured limits. At December 31, 2014, the Company’s uninsured cash balance was $0.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, ESP Petrochemicals, Inc., is a custom formulator of petrochemicals for the oil and gas industry. Since the products are specific to each location, the receipt of an order or purchase order starts the production process. Once the blending takes place, the order is delivered to the land site or dock. When the containers of blended petrochemicals are off-loaded at the dock, or they are stored on the land site, a delivery ticket is obtained, an invoice is generated and Company recognizes revenue. The invoice is generated based on the credit agreement with the customer at the agreed-upon price. ESP Facilities and Pipeline Services, Inc. is a pressure test service provider for the oil and gas industry. The Company provides labor and equipment to pressure test and service pipes and values. The Company invoices the Customer based on the hours provided and invoices the customer for those hours during the service period and recognizes the revenue at the time of service.

Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer and when contractual terms have been fulfilled. Transfer of title and risk of loss occurs when the product is delivered in accordance with the contractual shipping terms, generally to a land site or dock. Revenue is recognized based on the credit agreement with the customer at the agreed upon price.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718. Stock-based compensation to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50. Equity instruments issued to other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and warrants and the closing price of the Company’s common stock for common share issuances.

Advertising

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $2,062and $1,021, respectively.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) amounts in the consolidated financial statements are computed in accordance Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 260 – 10 “Earnings per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Business Segments

The Company operates in one segment in one geographic location the United States of America and, therefore, segment information is not presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable approximate fair value due to the relative short period for maturity these instruments.

Environmental Costs

The Company incurred no environmental expenses during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Reclassification

Certain accounts in the prior period were reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

During the year ended December 31, 2014 and through April 15, 2015, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” Continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. Previously, there was no guidance under US GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). For the year ended December 31, 2014, management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and concluded that substantial doubt has not been alleviated about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company continues to explore further significant sources of financing, management’s assessment was based on the uncertainty related to the amount and nature of such financing over the next twelve months.

Note 2 – Going Concern

At December 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $121,880 and a working capital deficit of $6,264,530. The Company believes that its existing capital resources may not be adequate to enable it to execute its business plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company estimates that it will require additional cash resources during 2015 based on its current operating plan and condition.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise the required additional capital or debt financing to meet short and long-term operating requirements. The Company believes that future private placements of equity capital and debt financing are needed to fund our long-term operating requirements. The Company may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a requirement for additional cash. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the Company’s common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations. The Company is continuing to pursue external financing alternatives to improve our working capital position. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.

Note 3 – Factoring Payable

On May 24, 2011, ESP Petrochemical Inc. entered into an Account Receivable Financing agreement with Crestmark Commercial Capital Leading LLC (“Crestmark”), with an initial term of six months and renewing semi-annually thereafter. The agreement is in the subsequent renewal period. The Company may obtain advances up to 100% of eligible accounts receivable, subject to a 0.75 percent per 15 days factoring fee, with ten percent held in a reserve account, which is released to the Company upon payment of the receivable. The agreement is subject to a master note, which limits borrowing to $2,000,000. The master note is payable upon demand, or if no demand is paid, with monthly payments of interest at 1.5%. All outstanding principal plus accrued unpaid interest is due on maturity of the note or when the related invoice is collected. The master note is secured by all inventory, accounts, general intangibles, and equipment of the ESPI. On March 2, 2012 Crestmark increased the borrowing limit to $3,000,000. On August 1, 2012 Crestmark increased the borrowing limit to $4,000,000.The total borrowing under the agreement at December 31, 2013 was $1,093,593 with $113,589 held in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company shall pay a servicing fee equal to the greater of 0.75% or $10 and will be subject to others fees and charges and may be required to establish a reserve account as set forth in greater detail in the Factoring Agreement set forth as an exhibit to this current report and incorporated herein by reference. The Factoring Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and personally guaranteed by David Dugas and Tony Primeaux and guaranteed by ESP Resources, Inc. and ESP Ventures, Inc. The total borrowing under this agreement at December 31, 2014 was $1,339,653 with $283,392 held in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

On January 27, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $130,000 from the sale of 16% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the “January 2012 Debentures”). The January 2012 Debentures are subordinate to all other secured debt of the Company, pay 16% interest per annum in cash quarterly and are convertible into the Company’s common stock by the investors at any time at a minimum conversion price per share of $0.15. On March 1, 2013, June 1, 2013 and September 1, 2013, the Company was required to redeem one quarter, one quarter and one half, respectively, of the face value of the balance of the January 2012 Debentures in cash. In addition, the investors received 100% of the number of shares of common stock that the purchase amount would buy in warrants at the conversion price of $0.15, or a total of 866,667 warrants, with a 3-year term. The Company does not have any registration obligation in regard to the common stock. The Company analyzed the conversion option under ASC 815 and determined equity classification was appropriate. The Company then analyzed the conversion option under ASC 470-20 for consideration of a beneficial conversion feature and determined the option had intrinsic value on the date of issuance. The Company recorded a discount from the relative fair value of the warrants and the intrinsic value of the conversion option of $71,291. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price on the measurement date of $0.114; warrant term of 3 years; expected volatility of 156%; and discount rate of 0.32% and accounted for them as debt discount, which will be amortized over the term of the loan which expires September 1, 2013.

On November 14, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $1,000,000 from the sale of 16% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the “November 2012 Debentures”). The November 2012 Debentures were due on March 1, 2014. The aggregate principal amount of the combined November 2012 Debentures is $1,000,000 with an interest rate of 16% per annum. The interest is payable quarterly on March 1st, June 1st, September 1st, and December 1st, beginning on March 1, 2013. The November 2012 Debentures are convertible at any time after the original issue date at a conversion price of $0.085 per share, subject to adjustments. The Company recorded a discount from the relative fair value of the conversion feature and the intrinsic value of the conversion option of $421,715. The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model with the following assumptions: stock price on the measurement date of $0.07; term of 1.5 years; expected volatility between 112% 159%; and discount rate of 0.22% and accounted for them as debt discount, which will be amortized over the term of the loan which expired March 1, 2014. The Company analyzed the conversion option under ASC 815 and determined and recorded $449,840 derivative liability. The Company, in its sole discretion, may choose to pay interest in cash, shares of Common Stock, or in combination thereof. At the Company’s election, it may, at any time after the six-month anniversary of the transaction’s closing date, deliver a notice to the holders to redeem the then-outstanding principal amount of the November 2012 Debentures for cash. In the event the Company defaults, the outstanding principal amount of the November 2012 Debentures, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the holders’ election, immediately due and payable in cash. In addition, the investors received 100% of the number of shares of common stock that the purchase amount would buy in warrants at the conversion price of $0.09, or a total of 11,764,706 warrants with a 5-year term. The Company recorded a discount from the relative fair value of the warrants and the intrinsic value of the conversion option of $208,685. The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model with the following assumptions: stock price on the measurement date of $0.07; warrant term of 5 years; expected volatility between 112%-593%; and discount rate of 0.63% and accounted for them as debt discount, which will be amortized over the term of the loan which expires March 1, 2014. The Company analyzed the warrants under ASC 815 and determined and recorded a $222,603 derivative liability. The November 2012 Debentures are secured by the remaining unencumbered assets of the Company. The Company’s subsidiary companies guaranteed the security agreement by agreeing to act as surety for the payment of the November 2012 Debentures. As further consideration, the Company issued a combined total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock to the investors, which the Company recorded as a debt discount $299,600 at issuance and will amortize the debt discount over the term of the debt. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company amortized $5,912. The Company shall take all actions necessary to nominate and recommend shareholder approval for the appointment of one director selected by Hillair Capital Management LLC to ESP’s Board of Directors. In conjunction with this debenture, the Company paid $70,000 of professional fees and record these fees as debt discount to be amortized over the term of the debenture. The Company determined that the Debenture and warrant had derivative features and derivative liabilities were established for each.

On September 30, 2013 the Company agreed with its convertible debenture holders to amend and restate the November 2012 Debenture. The September 1, 2013 payment obligation was extended and deferred to $375,000 on December 1, 2013 and $625,000 on March 1, 2014 plus accrued interest; the conversion price was amended and restated to $0.05 from $0.085; the related warrants exercise price per share of the common stock was amended and restated to $0.075 from $0.09. The Company evaluated the application of ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments and ASC 470-60, Trouble Debt Restructurings by Debtors and concluded that the revised terms did not constitute a substantial modification or a troubled debt restructuring. The amended and restated exercise price of the warrant and conversion price were valued as derivative instruments and were revalued at the fair market value of the derivative instruments at September 30, 2013.

On December 20, 2013 the Company agreed with one of its convertible debenture holders to amend and restate the November 2012 Debenture amended previously on September 30, 2013. The December 1, 2013 payment obligation was extended and deferred to $281,250 on June 1, 2014 and $468,750 on September 1, 2014 plus accrued interest. The Company issued 5,000,000 Warrants with an exercise price per share of the Common Stock $0.075 and a term of 5 years. The amended and restated exercise price of the Warrant and Conversion price were valued as derivative instruments and were revalued at the fair market value of the derivative instruments at December 20, 2013 as debt discount. The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model with the following assumptions: stock price on the measurement date of $0.07; term of 1.5 years; expected volatility between 123% 143% and accounted for them as debt discount, which will be amortized over the term of the loan which expires September 1, 2014. The Company analyzed the conversion option under ASC 815 and determined and recorded derivative liability of these warrants at $13,365 and included in Debt discount. The Company estimated the conversion option of this debt conversion feature at $158,612 and included in debt discount. The Company evaluated the application of ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments and ASC 470-60, Trouble Debt Restructurings by Debtors and concluded that the revised terms constituted a substantial modification which resulted in a debt extinguishment. The Company recognized a loss on the extinguishment of $310,767 during 2013. Accrued interest of $12,000 was incorporated into the reissued convertible debenture principal amount.

On December 1, 2013 the Company failed to make the amended principal payment on one if its convertible debentures dated November 14, 2012 amended on September 30, 2013. This convertible debenture is now in default. Under the terms of the convertible debenture all principal payments are now due and reflected as current and the interest rate increases to 18%.

As of December 31, 2014 these convertible debentures are in default and have been classified as current maturities.

Note 10 – Derivative liability

The Company evaluated whether its warrants and convertible debt instruments contain provisions that protect holders from declines in its stock price or otherwise could result in modification of either the exercise price or the shares to be issued under the respective warrant agreements. The November 14, 2012 16% convertible debenture and associated warrants included down-round provisions which reduce the exercise price of the warrants and the conversion price of the convertible instrument if the company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price. The Company determined that a portion of its outstanding warrants and conversion instrument contained such provisions thereby concluding they were not indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore a derivative instrument in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.

The range of significant assumptions which the Company used to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities (a level 3 input) at November 14, 2012 is as follows:

	Warrant			Debenture

Stock price		$0.07			$0.07
Term (years)		5			1.5
Volatility	112%	-	593%	112%	-	159%
Risk-free interest rate		0.22%			0.63%
Exercise prices	$0.09	to	0.00255	$0.085	to	0.055
Dividend yield		0.00%			0.00%

The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model. The fair value of these warrant and debenture liabilities at November 14, 2012 was $693,043 the Company recorded them as derivative liabilities.

On December 20, 2013 the Company agreed with one of its convertible debenture holders to issued 5,000,000 Warrants with an exercise price per share of the Common Stock $0.075 and a term of 5 years. The Company estimated the fair value of derivative value of these warrants at $13,395. The Company estimated fair value of derivative of the conversion option of this debt at $158,612.

The range of significant assumptions which the Company used to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities (a level 3 input) at December 20, 2013 is as follows:

	Warrants			Debentures

Stock price		$0.02			$0.02
Term (years)		5			.75
Volatility	123%	-	143%	123%	-	143%
Risk-free interest rate		1.75%			0.13%
Exercise prices	$0.075	to	0.002	$0.05	to	0.02
Dividend yield		0.00%			0.00%

The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model. The fair value of these warrant and debenture liabilities at December 20, 2013 was $172,007 the Company recorded as derivative liability.

The range of significant assumptions which the Company used to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities (a level 3 input) at December 31, 2014 is as follows:

	Warrants			Debentures

Stock price		$0.01			$0.01
Term (years)	3.6	to	4.7		.5
Volatility	143%	-	202%	143%	-	202%
Risk-free interest rate		1.65%			0.04%
Exercise prices	$0.075	to	0.002	$0.05	to	0.02
Dividend yield		0.00%			0.00%

The Company analyzed the warrants and conversion feature under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine the derivative liability. The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model. The fair value of these derivative liabilities at December 31, 2013 was $263,875, and at December 31, 2014 was $255,168. As part of the modification of the Hillair Capital Management note in the year ended December 31, 2013, the company recognized an extinguishment of derivative liability in the amount of $65,452. The change in the fair value of derivative liabilities resulted in a mark to market change of $8,707 and $766,923 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Changes in the derivative liability for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 consist of:

	Year Ended December 31, 2014			Year Ended December 31, 2013
Beginning of year derivative liability	$	263,875		$	924,243
Conversion option of issuance of warrants December 20, 2013		-			158,612
Warrants issued December 20, 2013		-			13,395
Exercise of Warrants December 20, 2013		-			(65,452	)
Change in derivative liability – mark to market		(8,707	)		(766,923	)
Derivative liability at end of year	$	255,168		$	263,875

As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

●

Level 1 -

unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

●

Level 2 -

inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

●

Level 3 -

unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

Note 11 – Income taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company recorded the valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of future realization of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred income tax assets are comprised of the following at December 31:

		2014			2013
Deferred income tax assets:	$	6,030,000		$	5,815,000
Valuation allowance		(6,030,000	)		(5,815,000	)
Net total	$	-		$	-

Reconciliations between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 consist as follows:

	2014			2013
Federal statutory tax rate		(35.0	)%		(35.0	)%
State taxes, net of federal benefit		(6.0	)%		(6.0	)%
Valuation allowance		41	%		41	%
Effective tax rate		-			-

At December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $14,703,000. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in 2019 through 2034.

The valuation allowance was increased by $215,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014. The current income tax benefit of $6,030,000 and $5,815,000 generated for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, was offset by an equal increase in the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance was increased due to uncertainties as to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred income tax items.

The Company’s ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards in future years will be significantly limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, because of the changes in ownership that have occurred in the prior years. The Company’s Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) may be further limited should there be any further changes in ownership. As defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company who has undergone, or may undergo in the future, a greater than 50% ownership change as a result of financing initiatives. Consequently, there may be limitations on the amount of the Company’s NOLs which may be utilized to offset future taxable income in any one year.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has no unrecognized uncertain tax positions, including any related interest and penalties. The Company has yet to submit the Federal consolidated tax return for the year ended December 31, 2013 and certain state income and franchise tax returns for that period.

Note 17 – Guarantee Liability

On November 3, 2008, ESP provided a guarantee to a director of Aurora and Boreal who loaned $120,000 to Aurora and Boreal. ESP provided this guarantee to encourage the director’s continued employment and commitment to the development of the concessions held by Aurora and Boreal, which the Company believed was vital to the future success of Aurora and Boreal. In the event that Aurora and Boreal did not repay the loan by the due date of June 1, 2009, ESP guaranteed to make the payment in the form of a convertible note due June 1, 2011. The convertible note is non-interest bearing and is convertible into common stock of ESP at $1.20 per share. In exchange for issuing the convertible note to the director, ESP will receive the right to receive payments under the director’s note receivable from Aurora and Boreal.

ESP recorded the fair value of the guarantee liability at $48,000, which represented the fair value of the note receivable from Aurora and Boreal which ESP would take over from the director. On June 1, 2009 when Aurora and Boreal did not make the required payments on their notes payable to the director, ESP determined that the value of the guarantee liability should be increased to the full face amount of the guaranteed note of $120,000, resulting in a loss on guarantee liability of $72,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no changes in the matter during 2013 and 2014, hence the balance remains same.
