NYTEX ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
NYTEX Energy Holdings, Inc. (NYTEX Energy) is an energy holding company with operations
centralized in two subsidiaries, NYTEX Petroleum, Inc. (NYTEX Petroleum), an exploration and
production company concentrating on the acquisition and development of crude oil and natural gas
reserves, and Francis Drilling Fluids, Ltd., (Francis Drilling Fluids, or FDF), a full-service
provider of drilling, completion, and specialized fluids, dry drilling and completion products,
technical services, industrial cleaning services, transportation, storage and handling of liquid
and dry drilling products, and equipment rental for the oil and gas industry. On November 23,
2010, through our newly-formed subsidiary, NYTEX FDF Acquisition, Inc. (Acquisition Inc.), we
acquired 100% of the membership interests of Francis Oaks, LLC (Oaks) and its wholly-owned
operating subsidiary, FDF (together with Oaks, the Francis Group). The Francis Group has no
other assets or operations other than FDF (See Note 4). NYTEX Energy and subsidiaries are
collectively referred to herein as the Company, we, us, and our.
Liquidity and Events of Default
Our loan agreements generally stipulate that we comply with certain reporting and financial
covenants. These covenants include among other things, providing the lender, within set time
periods, with financial information, notifying the lender of any change in management, limitations
on the amount of capital expenditures, and maintaining certain financial ratios. As a result of the
challenges incurred in integrating the FDF operations and due to higher than anticipated capital
expenditures at FDF, we were unable to meet several reporting and financial covenants under our
senior revolving credit and term loan facility (Senior Facility) with PNC Bank measured as of
November 30, 2010 and February 28, 2011. Failure to meet the loan covenants under the loan
agreement constitutes a default and on April 13, 2011, PNC Bank, as lender, provided us with a
formal written notice of default. PNC Bank did not commence the exercise of any of its other rights
and remedies, which could include foreclosure on substantially all of FDFs assets, but has
expressly reserved all such rights. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the outstanding
principal balance of the amounts owed under the Senior Facility was $17,939,025 and $17,752,722,
respectively, and is, because of this default, reported within current liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. We are currently in
negotiations with the lender to remedy the defaults and obtain a waiver with respect to such
defaults. However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in our negotiations with PNC
Bank or that the conditions to the waiver will be satisfactory to us.
In addition, due to cross-default provisions and other covenant requirements, we are also in
default under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. The amounts reported on our consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 related to the WayPoint Purchase Agreement include
a derivative liability totaling $33,880,000 and $32,554,826, respectively, which are reported as
current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, accrued expenses at June 30,
2011 include $1,452,500 of accrued and unpaid dividends on the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock. As a result, WayPoint may seek certain remedies afforded to them under the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement including the right to (i) exercise their Control Warrant, or (ii) exercise their put
right. We are currently in negotiations with WayPoint to remedy the events of noncompliance and
modify the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. However, there are no assurances that we will be successful
in our negotiations with WayPoint or that the conditions to any waiver will be satisfactory to us.
On May 4, 2011, WayPoint provided formal written notice (Put Notice) to us of its
election to cause us to repurchase (i) warrants issued to WayPoint that, in the aggregate,
allow WayPoint to purchase that number of shares of our common stock to equal 51% of our fully diluted capital stock then outstanding, (ii) the 20,750 shares of Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock of Acquisition Inc. owned by WayPoint, and (iii) one share of our Series B
Preferred Stock owned by WayPoint, for an aggregate purchase price of $30,000,000
within five business days following the date of the Put Notice. We did not have the funds
available to satisfy this Put Notice in a timely manner, but continue to negotiate with WayPoint
to remedy the defaults and resolve WayPoints demands in the Put Notice. As a result, WayPoint may
seek certain remedies afforded to them under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement including the exercise
of their warrants. However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in these
negotiations, and WayPoint has reserved all other rights, remedies, actions and powers to which
WayPoint may be entitled.
We cannot be certain that our existing sources of cash will be adequate to meet our liquidity
requirements including cash requirements that may be due under either the Senior Facility or the
WayPoint Purchase Agreement. However, management has implemented plans to improve liquidity
through slowing or stopping certain planned capital expenditures, through the sale of selected
assets deemed unnecessary to our business, and improvements to results from operations. In
addition to these plans, we are seeking long-term financing for our unencumbered real estate
properties and/or equity financing to provide cash and enhance our working capital position.
Further, in May 2011, we settled outstanding litigation regarding the Panhandle Field Producing
Property and in connection with the settlement, sold our entire interest in the

Panhandle
Field Producing Property to the plaintiffs in the litigation for the purchase price of $782,000 cash.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful with our plans or that our results of
operations will materially improve in either the short-term or long-term and accordingly, we may be
unable to meet our obligations as they become due.
A fundamental principle of the preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles is the assumption that an entity will continue in
existence as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations and the realization of
assets and settlement of liabilities occurring in the ordinary course of business. This principle
is applicable to all entities except for entities in liquidation or entities for which liquidation
appears imminent. In accordance with this requirement, our policy is to prepare our consolidated
financial statements on a going concern basis unless we intend to liquidate or have no other
alternative but to liquidate. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis and do not reflect any adjustments that might specifically result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
NOTE 2. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim
financial information. These financial statements include the accounts of NYTEX Energy and
entities in which it holds a controlling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in non-controlled entities over
which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies
are accounted for using the equity method. In applying the equity method of accounting, the
investments are initially recognized at cost, and subsequently adjusted for our proportionate share
of earnings and losses and distributions.
The interim financial data as of June 30, 2011 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2011 and 2010 is unaudited; in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, these financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as
filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Certain prior-period
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.
All references to the Companys outstanding common shares and per share information have been
adjusted to give effect to the one-for-two reverse stock split effective November 1, 2010.
NOTE 3. INVENTORY
Inventory consists of dry materials used in mixing oilfield drilling fluids and liquid
drilling fluids mixed and ready for delivery to the drilling rig location. The dry materials are
carried at the lower of cost or market, principally on the first-in, first-out basis. The liquid
drilling materials are valued at standard cost which approximates actual cost on a first-in,
first-out basis, not to exceed market value. Inventories amounted to $1,244,749 and $1,237,149 at
June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and are attributable to our Oilfield Services
business.
NOTE 4. BUSINESS COMBINATION
On November 23, 2010, through our newly-formed subsidiary, Acquisition Inc., we acquired 100%
of the membership interests of Oaks and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, FDF. Total
consideration transferred was $51.8 million and consisted of cash of $41.3 million, 5.4 million
shares of NYTEX Energy common stock at an estimated fair value of $1.86 per share, or $10 million,
and a non-interest bearing promissory note payable to the seller in the principal amount of $0.7
million with a fair value of $0.5 million.
FDF is a full-service provider of drilling, completion, and specialized fluids, dry drilling
and completion products, technical services, industrial cleaning services, and equipment rental for
the oil and gas industry. Headquartered in Crowley, Louisiana, FDF operates out of 22 locations in
five U.S. states. Our acquisition of FDF makes us a more diversified energy

company by
providing a broader range of products and services to the oil and gas industry. FDF contributed revenues
totaling $21,477,670 and $40,029,572 and earnings (loss) before income taxes of $11,949,541 and
($3,902,900) to our consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June
30, 2011, respectively.
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information as if the business
combination had occurred on January 1, 2010 for the six months ended June 30, 2010:

NOTE 5. GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had $4,558,394 of goodwill allocated to our
oilfield services segment as a result of the acquisition of FDF in November 2010. Prior to the
acquisition of FDF, we did not have any goodwill.
Intangible assets subject to amortization at June 30, 2011 and associated amortization expense
for the six months then ended is as follows:
Gross | Net | |||||||||||||||
Carrying | Accumulated | Carrying | Amortization | |||||||||||||

The non-compete agreement and customer relationship intangible assets have been allocated
to our oilfield services segment and have estimated useful lives of 2.5 to 7 years for non-compete
agreements and 20 years for the customer relationships. We also have trade name intangible assets
associated with FDF that are not subject to amortization, which have a carrying balance of
$4,760,000 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. We did not have any such intangible assets
prior to our acquisition of FDF.
The estimated amortization for the remainder of 2011 and each of the next five fiscal years is
as follows:

NOTE 6. WAYPOINT TRANSACTION
In connection with the FDF acquisition, on November 23, 2010, we, through our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Acquisition Inc., entered into a Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement
(WayPoint Purchase Agreement) with WayPoint Nytex, LLC (WayPoint), an unaffiliated third party,
whereby, in exchange for $20,000,001 cash, we issued to WayPoint (collectively, the WayPoint
Transaction) (i) 20,750 shares of Acquisition Inc. 14% Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock,
par value of $0.001 and an original stated amount of $1,000 per share (Senior Series A Redeemable
Preferred Stock), (ii) one share of NYTEX Energy Series B Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001 per
share, (iii) a warrant to purchase at $0.01 per share up to 35% of the then outstanding shares of
the Companys common stock (Purchaser Warrant), and (iv) a warrant to purchase at $0.01 per share
an additional number of shares of the Companys common stock so that, measured at the time of
exercise, the number of shares of common stock issued to WayPoint represents 51% of the
10
Table of Contents
NYTEX ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Companys
outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis (Control Warrant). The Control Warrant is
exercisable upon meeting certain conditions, as defined in the WayPoint Purchase Agreement.
In addition, under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement, WayPoint was granted a put right that
could require us to repurchase the Purchaser Warrant and Control Warrant from WayPoint at any time
on or after the earlier of (i) the date on which a change of control occurs, as defined, (ii) the
date on which an event of default occurs, as defined, (iii) the
date on which we elect to redeem the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, and (iv) the maturity
date of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock. The repurchase price is equal to the
greater of (a) WayPoints aggregate equity ownership percentage in the Company as of the date the
put right is exercised, multiplied by the fair value of the Companys common stock and (b)(1) in
the event that the put right is exercised before November 23, 2013, $30,000,000, or (2) in the
event that the put right is exercised on or after November 23, 2013, $40,000,000.
Initial Accounting
Under the initial accounting, we separated the instruments issued under the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement into component parts of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Series B
Preferred Stock, the Purchaser Warrant, and the Control Warrant. We considered the put right to be
inseparable from the Purchaser Warrant and Control Warrant and deemed them to be a derivative
(each, a WayPoint Warrant Derivative). We estimated the fair value of each component as of the
date of issuance. We initially assigned no value to the Control Warrant as it was contingently
exercisable and the conditions for exercising had not been met. Since the WayPoint Warrant
Derivative related to the Purchaser Warrant had a fair value in excess of the net proceeds we
received in the WayPoint Transaction at the date of issuance, no amounts were assigned to Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock in the allocation of proceeds.
Due to the default under the WayPoint Agreement discussed below, the conditions to exercise
the Control Warrant are deemed to have been met. Accordingly, we estimated the fair value of the
Control Warrant at June 30, 2011 to be a liability of $8,640,000. The WayPoint Warrant Derivatives
are included in derivative liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June
30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Changes in fair value of the WayPoint Warrant Derivatives are included in other income
(expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and are not taxable or deductible for income
tax purposes.
Although no amounts were initially assigned to the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock,
we accrete the total face amount, or $20,750,000, over the term of the instrument of 5.5 years as a
liability on the consolidated balance sheet and a corresponding charge to accretion expense on the
consolidated statement of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we
recognized $943,182 and $1,886,364 of accretion expense respectively related to the Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock.
Default Under WayPoint Purchase Agreement
Due to cross-default provisions with our Senior Facility and other covenant requirements, we
are currently in default under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. On April 14, 2011, WayPoint
provided us with a formal written notice of default under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. The
amount reported on our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010
related to the WayPoint Purchase Agreement includes derivative liabilities totaling $33,880,000 and
$32,554,826, which are reported within current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. In
addition, accrued expenses at June 30, 2011 include $1,452,500 of accrued and unpaid dividends on
the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock.
On May 4, 2011, WayPoint provided formal written notice (Put Notice) to the Company of its
election to cause the Company to (i) repurchase warrants issued to WayPoint that, in the aggregate,
allow WayPoint to purchase that number of shares of the Companys common stock to equal 51% of the
Companys fully diluted capital stock then outstanding, (ii) the 20,750 shares of Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock of Acquisition Inc. owned by WayPoint, and (iii) one share of Series B
Preferred Stock of the Company owned by WayPoint, for an aggregate purchase price of $30,000,000
within five business days following the date of the Put Notice. The Company did not have the funds
available to satisfy this Put Notice in a timely manner, but continues to negotiate with WayPoint
to remedy the defaults and resolve WayPoints demands in the Put Notice. As a result, WayPoint may
seek certain remedies afforded to them under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement including the exercise
of their Purchaser and Control Warrants. However, there are no assurances that the Company will be
successful in these negotiations, and WayPoint has reserved all other rights, remedies, actions and
powers to which WayPoint may be entitled.

The WayPoint Warrant Derivative Purchaser Warrant and Control Warrant were initially
recorded at their fair value of $19,253,071 and $0, respectively, on the date of issuance, November
23, 2010. At June 30, 2011, the carrying amount of the WayPoint Warrant Derivative Purchaser
Warrant and Control Warrant were adjusted to their respective fair value of $25,240,000 and
$8,640,000, respectively, with a corresponding adjustment to operations. The WayPoint Warrant
Derivatives are reported as a derivative liability current portion on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
The agreement setting forth the terms of the warrants issued to the holders of the Companys
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock include an anti-dilution provision that requires a reduction
in the instruments exercise price should subsequent at-market issuances of the Companys common
stock be issued below the instruments original exercise price of $2.00 per share. Accordingly, we
consider the warrants to be a derivative; and, as a result, the fair value of the derivative is
included as a derivative liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30,
2011 and December 31, 2010.
Changes in fair value of the derivative liabilities are included as a separate line item
within other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2011, and are not taxable or deductible for income tax
purposes.

expense over the terms of the related debt.
Senior Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility
In connection with the FDF acquisition, on November 23, 2010, we entered into a senior secured
revolving credit and term loan agreement (Senior Facility) with a bank providing for loans up to
$24,000,000. The Senior Facility consists of a term loan in the amount of $12,000,000 and a
revolving credit facility in an amount up to $12,000,000. The term loan bears an annual interest
rate based on the higher of (i) the 30 day LIBOR plus 1%, or (ii) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.5%,
plus a margin of 2.5% (3.74% at June 30, 2011). The term loan requires monthly payments of
principal and interest based on a seven-year amortization of $142,857 with the remaining principal
and any unpaid interest due in full at maturity on November 23, 2015. The revolving credit
facility bears an annual interest rate based on the higher of (i) the 30 day LIBOR plus 1%, or (ii)
the Fed Funds rate plus 0.5%, plus a margin of 1.75% (2.99% at June 30, 2011) and payments of
interest only due monthly with the then outstanding principal and any unpaid interest due in full
at maturity on November 23, 2015. Advances under the revolving credit facility may not exceed 85%
of FDFs eligible accounts receivable as defined in the Senior Facility.
Our loan agreements generally stipulate that we comply with certain reporting and financial
covenants. These covenants include among other things, providing the lender, within set time
periods, with financial information, notifying the lender of any change in management, limitations
on the amount of capital expenditures, and maintaining certain financial ratios. As a result of the challenges incurred in integrating the FDF operations and due to higher than anticipated capital expenditures at FDF, we were unable to meet several reporting and financial covenants under our Senior Facility with PNC
13

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Bank measured as of November 30, 2010 and February 28, 2011. Failure to meet the loan covenants
under the loan agreement constitutes a default and on April 13, 2011, PNC Bank, as lender, provided
us with a formal written notice of default. PNC Bank did not commence the exercise of any of its
other rights and remedies, which could include foreclosure on substantially all of FDFs assets,
but has expressly reserved all such rights. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the outstanding
principal balance of the amounts owed under the Senior Facility was $17,939,025 and $17,752,723,
respectively, and is, because of this default, reported within current liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. We are currently in
negotiations with the lender to remedy the defaults and obtain a waiver with respect to such
defaults. However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in our negotiations with PNC
Bank or that the conditions to any waiver will be satisfactory to us.
Other
In December 2010, we issued two demand notes totaling $237,000 related to our acquisition of
certain oil and gas interests. The demand notes were due and payable on February 14, 2011 or upon
demand by the holder and bear interest at a fixed rate of 9%. On February 14, 2011, we issued
$973,013 of 9% Convertible Debentures (9% Convertible Debenture) due January 2014, of which
$237,000 was issued in exchange for the demand notes due February 14, 2011. In April 2011, we
issued an additional $200,000 of the 9% Convertible Debenture and closed the debenture offering.
Interest only is payable monthly at the annual rate of 9% with any accrued and unpaid interest
along with the unpaid principal due at maturity. The 9% Convertible Debenture is convertible into
the Companys common stock at any time at the fixed conversion price of $2.00 per share, subject to
certain adjustments including stock dividends and stock splits. We have the option, at any time,
to redeem the outstanding 9% Convertible Debentures in cash equal to 100% of the original principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
During the second quarter of 2011, we issued 76,667 shares of common stock related to
conversions of the Companys 12% Convertible Debentures.
NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
The Company leases certain trucks, automobiles, equipment, and office space under
non-cancelable operating leases which provide for minimum annual rentals. Future minimum

Total lease rental expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1,223,061 and
$30,781, respectively.
Litigation
We may become involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, which are routine
to the conduct of our business. We believe that none of these actions, individually or in the
aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or operations, although
any adverse decision in these cases, or the costs of defending or settling such claims, could have
a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations, and cash flows.
On August 26, 2010, two suits were filed by Kevin Audrain and Lori Audrain d/b/a Drain Oil
Company (Plaintiffs) against NYTEX Energy, one as Cause No. 39360 in the 84th District Court in
Hutchinson County, Texas, and the other as Cause No. 10-122 in the 69th District Court in Moore
County, Texas. Both suits were filed by Plaintiffs and both relate to 75.0% of certain producing
oil and gas leaseholds in those counties of the Texas panhandle (the
Panhandle Field Producing Property). On August 1, 2009, NYTEX Petroleum acquired and assumed operations of the
Panhandle Field
14

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Producing Property from Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs allege that NYTEX Petroleum did
not engage in a well re-completion (refrac) operation as required by the purchase document between
Plaintiffs and NYTEX Petroleum (the Purchase Document). As a result of this alleged lack of
performance, Plaintiffs believe that they were entitled to pursue repurchase of the Panhandle Field
Producing Property in accordance with a buyback provision set forth in the Purchase Document. The
Company had filed answers to both suits. On May 9, 2011, effective May 1, 2011, the Company entered
into a Compromise Settlement Agreement and Release of All Claims agreement (the Settlement) with
the Plaintiffs whereby both parties reached a full and final settlement of all claims to both
suits. In exchange for the release of all claims to both suits, concurrent with the Settlement, the
Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement whereby the Company sold its entire interest in
the Panhandle Field Producing Property to the Plaintiffs for the purchase price of $782,000,
resulting in a loss on litigation settlement totaling $965,065 for the three months ended March 31,
2011.
NOTE 10. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
The authorized capital of NYTEX Energy consists of 200 million shares of common stock, par
value $0.001 per share; 10 million shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001
per share; and one share of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The holders of
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly dividends
equal to 9% of $1.00 per share, with such dividends in preference to the declaration or payment of
any dividends to the holders of common stock. Further, dividends on the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock are cumulative so that if any previous or current dividend shall not have been
paid, the deficiency shall first be fully paid before any dividend is to be paid on or declared on
common stock. The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have the same voting rights and
powers as the holders of common stock.
The holder of the Series B Preferred Stock is not entitled to receive dividends and is not
entitled to any voting rights. However, the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to
elect two members of the Companys board of directors.
During the second quarter of 2011, we issued 76,667 shares of common stock related to
conversions of the Companys 12% Convertible Debentures.
Private Placement Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
In contemplation of the acquisition of FDF, in October 2010, we initiated a private placement
of units each consisting of (i) 100,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and
(ii) a warrant to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per
share. Each unit was priced at $100,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we issued
4.2 units for gross proceeds of $420,000 consisting of 420,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to 126,000 shares of common stock. For the year ended
December 31, 2010, we issued 55.8 units for gross proceeds of $5,580,000 consisting of 5,580,000
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to 1,674,000 shares of
common stock. At the conclusion of the private placement offering in January 2011, we had issued a
total of 60 units for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,000,000.
The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to payment of dividends
at 9% of the purchase price per share of $1.00, with such dividends payable quarterly. Dividends
are payable out of any assets legally available, are cumulative, and in preference to any
declaration or payment of dividends to the holders of common stock. Each holder of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock may, at any time, convert their shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at an initial conversion ratio of one-to-one.
Dividends payable related to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock totaled $267,530 at June 30,
2011, and are reported in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011.
Warrants
In connection with the private placement offering of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
during the three months ended March 31, 2011, we issued warrants to the holders to purchase up to
126,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The warrants may be
exercised for a period of three years from the date of grant. The aggregate fair
value of the warrants issued during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $118,440, was
determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, and was accounted for as a derivative liability on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, we issued warrants to purchase up to
16,800 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the placement agent of the private
placement offering of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The warrants may be exercised for a
period of three years from date of grant at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The aggregate
fair value of the warrants on the date of grant was approximately $15,792 using the Monte Carlo
simulation.

The fair value of warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the
Monte Carlo simulation. The expected term of the warrant is estimated based on the contractual
term or an expected time-to-liquidity event. The volatility assumption is estimated based on
expectations of volatility over the term of the warrant as indicated by implied volatility. The
risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for a term commensurate with the
expected term of the warrant. The aggregate fair value of the warrants issued during the six
months ended June 30, 2011 totaled approximately $134,200 and was determined using the following
weighted average attributes and assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.62%, expected dividend
yield of 0%, expected term of 5.5 years, and expected volatility of 55%. A summary of warrant
activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASURMENTS
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to
transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation
techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. We utilize a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which
the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
| Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. |
| Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments. |
| Level 3 Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entitys own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
As discussed in Notes 6, 7, and 10, we consider certain of our warrants to be derivatives,
and, as a result, the fair value of the derivative liabilities are reported on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. We value the derivative liabilities using a Monte Carlo simulation
which contains significant unobservable, or Level 3, inputs. The use of valuation techniques
requires us to make various key assumptions for inputs into the model, including assumptions about
the expected behavior of the instruments holders and expected future volatility of the price of
our common stock. At certain common stock price points within the Monte Carlo simulation, we
assume holders of the instruments will convert into shares of our common stock. In estimating the
fair value, we estimated future volatility by considering the historic volatility of the stock of a
selected peer group over a five year period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the fair value of the derivative liabilities
decreased by an aggregate $13,230,260 and $364,086, respectively, and was recorded within other
income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable,
and accrued expenses reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximates fair
value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of debt is the estimated amount we would have
to pay to repurchase our debt, including any premium or discount attributable to the difference
between the stated interest rate and market rate of interest at each balance sheet date. Debt fair
values are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments, if available, or based on
valuations of similar debt instruments. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we estimate the
fair value of our debt to be $23,365,532 and $23,738,511, respectively. We estimate the fair value
of our Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock to be $22,400,000 and $20,750,000, respectively,
as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES
Income tax benefit was $321,201 and $773,485 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011
respectively, as compared to no income tax benefit or provision for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010. The change in income tax benefit in the second quarter of 2011, compared to the
second quarter of 2010, was primarily the result of our acquisition of FDF and related differences
in the mix of our pre-tax earnings and losses. At June 30, 2011, we had deferred income tax assets
of $11,117,845 and a valuation allowance of $9,819,153 resulting in an estimated recoverable amount
of deferred income tax assets of $1,298,692. This reflects a net increase of the valuation
allowance of $695,128 from the December 31, 2010 balance of $9,124,025.
The balances of the valuation allowance as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were
$9,819,153 and
$9,124,025, respectively. The anticipated effective income tax rate is expected to continue
to differ from the Federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes,
permanent differences between book and taxable income, changes to the valuation allowance, and
certain discrete items.

Basic earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share amounts
are computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares and
dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
amounts assume the conversion, exercise, or issuance of all potential common stock instruments
unless the effect is anti-dilutive, thereby reducing the loss or increasing the income per common
share.
Because a net loss was incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2010, dilutive instruments including the warrants produce an
antidilutive net loss per share result. These
excluded shares totaled 50,241,442 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and 5,980,902 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Therefore, the diluted loss per share reported in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
are the same as the basic loss per share amounts.
NOTE 14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our primary business segments are vertically integrated within the oil and gas industry. These
segments are separately managed due to distinct operational differences and unique technology,
distribution, and marketing requirements. Our two reportable operating segments are oil and gas
exploration and production and oilfield services. The oil and gas exploration and production
segment explores for and produces natural gas, crude oil, condensate, and NGLs. The oilfield
services segment, which consists solely of the operations of FDF, provides drilling, completion,
and specialized fluids, dry drilling and completion products, technical services, industrial
cleaning services, transportation, storage and handling of liquid and dry drilling products, and
equipment rental for the oil and gas industry.
The following tables present selected financial information of our operating segments for the
three months ended June 30, 2011. Information presented below as Corporate and Intersegment
Eliminations includes results from operating activities that are not considered operating
segments, as well as corporate and certain financing activities. Prior to the acquisition of FDF,
we operated as a single segment enterprise. Accordingly, we do not present segment information for
the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
Overview
Our strategy is to enhance value for our shareholders through the acquisition of oilfield
fluid service companies at below-market acquisition prices and development of a well-balanced
portfolio of natural resource-based assets at discounted acquisition and development costs.
We are an energy holding company consisting of two operating segments:
Oilfield Services | consisting of our subsidiary, Francis Drilling Fluids, Ltd. (FDF), a full-service provider of drilling, completion, and specialized fluids, dry drilling and completion products, technical services, industrial cleaning services, transportation, storage and handling of liquid and dry drilling products, and equipment rental for the oil and gas industry; and | |||
Oil and Gas | consisting of our subsidiary, NYTEX Petroleum, Inc. (NYTEX Petroleum), an exploration and production company concentrating on the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas reserves. |
NYTEX Energy and subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as we, us, our, its,
and the Company.
General information about us, including our corporate governance policies can be found on our
website at www.nytexenergyholdings.com. On our website, we make available, free of charge, our
annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and
amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically
file or furnish them to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The public may read and
copy any materials we have filed with the SEC at the SECs Public Reference Room at 100 F Street,
NE, Room 1580, Washington, DC 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may
be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an internet site that contains
our reports, proxy and information statements, and our other filings. The address of that site is
www.sec.gov.
General Industry Overview
Demand for services offered by our industry is a function of our customers willingness to
make operating and capital expenditures to explore for, develop and produce hydrocarbons in the
United States, which in turn is affected by current and expected levels of oil and gas prices. As
oil and gas prices increased from 2006 through most of 2008, oil and gas companies increased their
drilling activities. In the last part of 2008, oil and gas prices declined rapidly, resulting in
decreased drilling activities. During the second half of 2009, oil prices began to increase and
remained relatively stable through the latter half of 2010, which resulted in increases in drilling
activities. However, natural gas prices continued to decline significantly through most of 2009
and remained depressed throughout 2010, which resulted in decreased activity in the natural
gas-driven markets. Despite natural gas prices remaining below the levels seen in recent years,
several markets that produce significant natural gas liquids, such as the Eagle Ford shale and
those that have other advantages like proximity to key consuming markets, such as the Marcellus
shale, have continued to see increased activity. The U.S. Energy Information Administrations
(EIA) report on U.S. shale gas and shale oil plays released in July 2011 indicates that 86% of
the total 750 trillion cubic feet of technically recoverable shale gas resources are located in the
Northeast, Gulf Coast, and Southwest regions of the United States, which account for 63%, 13%, and
10% of the total, respectively. In the three regions, the largest shale gas play is the Marcellus
(410.3 trillion cubic feet, 55% of the total), a shale play in which we do business. The Bakken
Shale area in North Dakota and Montana has become a major oil producing resource play with an
increasing number of drilling rigs and service companies operating in the area since 2007. By
combining horizontal wells and hydraulic fracturing (the same technologies used to significantly
boost U.S. shale gas production), operators increased Bakken oil production from less than 3,000
barrels per day in 2005 to over 230,000 barrels per day in 2010. Further, because of
technological advances associated with horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, the time
required to drill and complete a horizontal well has significantly been reduced (25 days in 2010
compared to 65 days in 2008, according to the North Dakotas Department of Mineral Resources).
The EIAs report also summarizes the assessment of technically recoverable shale oil
resources, which amount to 23.9 billion barrels in the onshore lower 48 U.S. states. The second and
third largest shale oil plays are the Bakken and Eagle Ford, which are assessed to hold
approximately 3.6 billion barrels and 3.4 billion barrels of oil, respectively, and in which we do
business.

Table of Contents
Sustained high oil prices along with strong demand for natural gas continues to positively
impact the number of active rigs drilling in North America. According to Baker-Hughes, active
domestic rigs averaged 1,835 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 1,721 in the first quarter
of 2011, and compared to an average of 1,513 in the second quarter of 2010. The average number of
active domestic rigs in the second quarter of 2011 represents a 21.3% increase over the second
quarter of 2010 and a 6.6% increase over the first quarter of 2011. The active domestic rig count
ended the second quarter of 2011 at 1,886 rigs, the highest rig count since the third week of
November 2008. As a result of these industry developments, we believe that the current high level
of drilling will continue and near-term demand for our oilfield products and services will remain
favorable.
Hydraulic Fracturing
Hydraulic fracturing, a technique in use for over 60 years, is commonly applied to wells
drilled in low permeability reservoir rock. A hydraulic fracture is formed by pumping fracturing
fluid into the wellbore at a rate sufficient to cause the formation to crack, allowing the
fracturing fluid to enter and extend the crack farther into the formation. To keep this fracture
open after the injection stops, a solid proppant, primarily sand, is added to the fracture fluid.
The propped hydraulic fracture then becomes a high permeability conduit through which the oil
and/or gas can flow to the well.
The fluid injected into the rock is mostly water. Various types of proppant are added, such
as silica sand, resin-coated sand, and fired bauxite clay (man-made ceramics), depending on the
type of permeability or grain strength needed. Chemical additives are sometimes applied by the
driller/well operator to tailor the injected material to the specific geological situation, protect
the well, and improve its operation, though chemical additives typically make up less than 1% of
the total composition of the injected fluid, varying slightly based on the type of well.
None of our businesses directly provide nor perform hydraulic fracturing services. In
addition, we do not take title to customers frac sand or proppants as our Oilfield Services
business limits its involvement with hydraulic fracturing to distributing, warehousing, and
transloading these products for our customers.

Acquisition of FDF
On November 23, 2010, through our newly-formed subsidiary, NYTEX FDF Acquisition Inc., (Acquisition Inc.) we acquired 100%
of the membership interests of Oaks and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, FDF (together with
Oaks, the Francis Group). The Francis Group has no other assets or operations other than FDF.
Total consideration transferred was $51.8 million and consisted of cash of $41.3 million, 5.4
million shares of NYTEX Energy common stock at an estimated fair value of $1.86 per share, or $10
million, and a non-interest bearing promissory note payable to the seller in the principal amount
of $0.7 million with a fair value of $0.5 million.
FDF is a full-service provider of drilling, completion, and specialized fluids, dry drilling
and completion products, technical services, industrial cleaning services, transportation, storage

Our Oil and Gas
NYTEX Petroleum engages in the acquisition, promotion of, and participation in the drilling of
crude oil and natural gas wells and also provides fee-based administration and management services
related to oil and gas properties.
In August 2009, we acquired a 75% ownership in the Panhandle Field Producing Property, a 320
acre producing oil and gas property in the Texas panhandle consisting of 18 wells. As the new
operator, we agreed to perform technically proven fracture stimulations known as refracs on
approximately ten of the existing wells. We successfully completed the refrac on one well in the
third quarter of 2009 and put it into commercial oil production. The property lies within the vast
Panhandle Field that extends into Oklahoma and Kansas. Beginning in the first quarter 2010 and
through the third quarter of 2010, we sold or transferred a portion of our 75% working interest in
the Panhandle Field Producing Property for $859,408 in cash, recognized a gain on sale of $578,872,
and retained a 28.16% working interest.
In December 2010, we re-acquired all but a 2.0% share of the 45.33% share sold earlier in the
year for total consideration transferred of approximately $1,451,858. The total consideration
transferred consisted of approximately $26,063 cash, 616,291 shares of NYTEX Energy common stock at
an estimated fair value of $1.86 per share, or approximately $1,146,301, 9% demand notes totaling
approximately $237,458, and interests in existing NYTEX Petroleum properties with an estimated fair
value of $42,036. On May 9, 2011, effective May 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Compromise
Settlement Agreement and Release of All Claims (the Settlement) with the plaintiffs of two
lawsuits filed against the Company in August 2010, whereby all parties reached a full and final
settlement of all claims to such lawsuits. In exchange for the release of all claims to both
suits, concurrent with the Settlement, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement
whereby the Company sold its entire interest in the Panhandle Field Producing Property to the
plaintiffs for the purchase price of $782,000, resulting in a loss on litigation settlement
totaling $965,065 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. See Part II, Item 1. Legal
Proceedings for further discussion.
Since the refrac completed in the third quarter of 2009 and as of the date of this report, we
have not performed any hydraulic fracturing on wells that we own or operate.

Results of Operations
On November 23, 2010, we acquired FDF for total consideration of $51.8 million. The results
of FDF are included in our consolidated statement of operations for the current quarter.
Accordingly, nearly all of the line items reported in our consolidated statement of operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 have increased significantly as a result of acquiring
FDF compared to the amounts reported in our consolidated statement of operations for the three
months ended June 30, 2010.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three and six months ended June 30,
2010
Revenues. Revenues increased over the prior year periods primarily as a result of our
acquisition of FDF in November 2010. In the event domestic rig counts increase and we acquire
additional operating companies, we expect a corresponding and continued increase in our future revenues.
Oil & gas lease operating expenses. Lease operating expenses decreased $4,382, or 19%, in the
three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the prior three months ended June 30, 2010 and $9,270
or 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the prior six months ended June 30, 2010.
The decrease is due principally to general reduction in drilling activities during 2010, which has
carried over to 2011.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization (DD&A)
increased over the prior period primarily as a result of our acquisition of FDF in November 2010
and resultant significant increase in depreciable long-lived assets. We expect DD&A to increase in
the future as we acquire additional plant and equipment in our oilfield services business and we
acquire additional operating companies.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A)
expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the prior three and
six months ended June 30, 2010 due principally to our acquisition of FDF in November 2010. SG&A
consists primarily of salary and wages, contract labor, professional fees, lease rental costs,
fuel, and insurance costs. We expect SG&A to increase in the future relative to increased demand
for our oilfield services business and we acquire additional operating companies.

Table of Contents
Litigation loss on settlement. The litigation loss on settlement for the six months ended
June 30, 2011 is a result of the settlement of two lawsuits related to the Panhandle Field
Producing Property. In exchange for the release of all claims to these two suits by the
plaintiffs, concurrent with entering into a Compromise Settlement Agreement and Release of All
Claims, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement whereby the Company sold its entire
interest in the Panhandle Field Producing Property to the plaintiffs for the purchase price of
$782,000, resulting in a loss on litigation settlement totaling $965,065 for the six months ended
June 30, 2011. The impact of the settlement of activity for the three months ended June 30, 2011
was less than $1,000 due to the finalization and execution of the agreement. See Part II, Item 1.
Legal Proceedings for further discussion.
Gain on sale of assets, net. Gain on sale of assets, net decreased $324,011 for the three
months ended June 30, 2011 and $556,223 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 respectively. The decrease is a result of the
aggregate gain recognized on the sale of the Panhandle Field Producing Property during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2010.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased during the three and six months ended June 30,
2011 over the prior year period due primarily to the acquisition of FDF in November 23, 2010 and
the increase in outstanding debt during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared
to the amount of debt outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. We expect
interest expense to increase in the near term as we include interest expense associated with the
increased outstanding debt for a full period.
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The increase in the current period as
compared to the prior period ended June 30, 2010, is due to the re-valuation of the Purchaser and
Controls Warrants by a third party, both deemed to be derivatives, and the change in value of the
warrants issued to the holders of the Companys Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, also deemed
to be derivative. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the fair value of the derivative
liabilities decreased by an aggregate $13,230,260 due to revisions to the Companys second-half
2011 and 2012 earnings forecasts and the expected maturity date of the Purchaser and Control
Warrant derivatives. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Control Warrant
derivative was initially valued at $0; however, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Control
Warrant derivative was valued at $8,640,000 as the conditions for exercise of the Control Warrant
had been met in connection with the defaults under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. We recognize
changes in the respective fair values in the consolidated statements of operations.
Accretion of preferred stock liability. Amount reflects the accretion of the face amount of
$20,750,000 related to the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock issued in connection with the
WayPoint Transaction in November 2010 over the term of the instruments of approximately 5.5 years.
This preferred stock is more fully described below under, Defaults Under Financing Arrangements.
Equity in loss of unconsolidated subsidiaries. There was no loss of unconsolidated
subsidiaries for the three or six months ended June 30, 2011. We recognized a loss totaling
$124,510 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $240,603 for the six months ended June 30,
2010. These losses related to our noncontrolling interests in Supreme Vacuum and Waterworks. We
disposed of our noncontrolling interests in Supreme Vacuum in September 2010.
Income tax benefit. Income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 of
$321,201 and $733,485 respectively, is the result of utilizing existing and current net operating
losses to offset taxable income generated by our oilfield services business.
Adjusted EBITDA
To assess the operating results of our segments, our chief operating decision maker analyzes
net income (loss) before income taxes, interest expense, DD&A, impairments, changes in fair value
attributable to derivative liabilities, and accretion of preferred stock liability (Adjusted
EBITDA). Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, which is not a GAAP measure, excludes interest
expense to allow for assessment of segment operating results without regard to our financing
methods or capital structure. Similarly, DD&A and impairments are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as
a measure of segment operating performance because capital expenditures are evaluated at the time
capital costs are incurred. In addition, changes in fair value attributable to derivative
liabilities and the accretion of preferred stock liability are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA since
these unrealized (gains) losses are not considered to be a measure of asset-operating performance.
Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides information useful in
assessing the Companys financial condition and results of operations and that Adjusted EBITDA is a
widely accepted financial indicator of a companys ability to incur and service debt, fund capital
expenditures and make distributions to stockholders.
Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by
other companies. Therefore, our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in conjunction
with net income (loss) and other
25
Table of Contents
performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income or cash flow from
operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it
excludes certain items that affect net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our
results as reported under GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to
consolidated net loss to common stockholders as reported on our consolidated statements of
operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital needs have historically been satisfied through operations, equity and debt
investments from private investors, loans with financial institutions, and through the sale of
assets. Historically, our primary use of cash has been to pay for acquisitions and investments
such as FDF, Supreme Vacuum, the Lakeview Shallow Prospect, and the Panhandle Field Producing
Property, service our debt, and for general working capital requirements.
As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $63,478, and a net working capital
deficit of $52,237,578 (measured by current assets less current liabilities) principally due to (i)
reporting the outstanding principal balance of amounts owed under the Senior Facility of
$17,939,025 within current liabilities, and (ii) reporting the WayPoint derivative liability
totaling $33,880,000 within current liabilities. See Defaults Under Financing Arrangements below
for further discussion.
Defaults Under Financing Arrangements
Our loan agreements and the agreements relating to our other financing arrangements generally
require that we comply with certain reporting and financial covenants. These covenants include
among other things, providing the lender, within set time periods, with financial information,
notifying the lender of any change in management, limitations on the amount of capital
expenditures, and maintaining certain financial ratios. As a result of the challenges incurred in
integrating the FDF operations and due to higher than anticipated capital expenditures at FDF, we
were unable to meet several reporting and financial covenants under our Senior Facility with PNC
measured as of November 30, 2010 and February 28, 2011. Failure to meet the loan covenants under
the Senior Facility loan agreement constitutes a default and on April 13, 2011, PNC, as lender,
provided us with a formal written notice of default. PNC has not commenced the exercise of any of
its other rights and remedies, which could include foreclosure on substantially all of FDFs
assets, but has expressly reserved all such rights. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the
outstanding principal balance of the amounts owed under the Senior Facility was $17,939,025 and
$17,752,723, respectively, and is, because of this default, reported within current liabilities on
the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. We are currently in
negotiations with PNC to obtain a waiver of the defaults. However, there are no assurances that we
will be successful in our negotiations with PNC or that the conditions to any waiver will be
satisfactory to us.
In addition, due to cross-default provisions and other covenant requirements, we are also in
default under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. The amounts reported on our consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 related to the WayPoint Purchase Agreement include
a derivative liability totaling $33,880,000 and $32,554,826, respectively, which are reported as
current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, we have not paid dividends
on Senior Series A Preferred Stock of Acquisition Inc. held by WayPoint. As of June 30, 2011, we owed
dividends of $1,452,500 to WayPoint. As a result, WayPoint may seek certain remedies afforded to
them under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement including the right to (i) exercise their Control
Warrant, or (ii) exercise their put right and receive a waiver of defaults, or (iii) initiate
collection efforts regarding any unpaid dividends and repurchase securities. We are currently in
negotiations with WayPoint to remedy the events of noncompliance, modify the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement, and receive
waiver of defaults. However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in our
negotiations with WayPoint or that the conditions to any waiver will be satisfactory to us.
On May 4, 2011, WayPoint provided formal written notice (Put Notice) to us of its
election to cause us to repurchase (i) warrants issued to WayPoint (Warrants) that, in
the aggregate, allow WayPoint to purchase that number of shares of our common stock to
equal 51% of our fully diluted capital stock then
26
Table of Contents
outstanding, (ii) the 20,750 shares of Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of Acquisition
Inc. owned by WayPoint, and (iii) one share of our Series B Preferred Stock owned by
WayPoint, for an aggregate purchase price of $30,000,000 within five business days following the
date of the Put Notice. We did not have the funds available to satisfy this Put Notice in
a timely manner, but continue to negotiate with WayPoint to remedy the defaults and resolve
WayPoints demands in the Put Notice. As a result, WayPoint may seek certain remedies afforded to
them under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement including the exercise of their Purchaser and Control
Warrants. However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in these
negotiations, and WayPoint has reserved all other rights, remedies, actions and powers to which
WayPoint may be entitled.
Notwithstanding recent workforce reductions, we may not have sufficient funds to pursue our
business priorities. As a result, we are limited in our ability to remain current in making
payments to trade vendors and other unsecured creditors when such payments are due, and PNC may now
exercise rights regarding our defaults under the Senior Facility. These workforce reductions, as
well as curtailed financial resources, may further impact our ability to implement our business
priorities. However, management has implemented plans to improve liquidity through slowing or
stopping certain planned capital expenditures and through the sale of selected assets deemed
unnecessary to our business. In addition to these plans, we are seeking long-term financing for our
unencumbered real estate properties and/or equity financing to provide cash and enhance our working
capital position. Further, in May 2011, we settled outstanding litigation regarding the Panhandle
Field Producing Property and in connection with the settlement, sold our entire interest in the
Panhandle Field Producing Property to the plaintiffs in the litigation for the purchase price of
$782,000 cash. Although these constraints have caused us to significantly scale back the rate at
which we implement our business strategy, we believe that these actions should preserve our
viability, provide additional time to execute our business priorities, and allow us to satisfy our
financial defaults and to resolve our working capital deficit. However, there are no assurances
that we will satisfy our financial defaults in a manner that allows us to continue operations as
presently constructed.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors and we may require additional
capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts. Any such required additional capital may not be
available on reasonable terms, if at all, given our prospects, the current economic environment and
restricted access to capital markets. Additional equity financing may be dilutive to our
stockholders; debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and
covenants that restrict our ability to operate as a business; and strategic partnerships may result
in terms which reduce our economic potential from any adjustments to our existing long-term
strategy. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon attaining and maintaining
profitable operations, resolving the defaults under certain of our loan agreements discussed above,
and raising significant additional capital. The financial statements for the three months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010 do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of
recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should we discontinue operations.

Cash flows from operating activities improved from a cash outflow of $515,190 for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 to a cash inflow of $2,325,535 for the six months ended June 30, 2011
due to non-cash adjustments affecting earnings including $4,340,554 increase in DD&A, $419,534
increase in share-based compensation, $1,886,364 of accretion of the Senior Series A Redeemable
Preferred Stock related to the FDF acquisition, and a loss on litigation settlement of $965,065.
These increases were offset by decreases of $364,086 related to the decrease in fair value of the
derivative liabilities and a
change of $881,066 in deferred income taxes. In addition, we had a net cash inflow related to
working capital totaling $1,032,044 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to a net
cash inflow of $359,689 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Table of Contents
Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $2,824,490 compared to cash provided of $751,748 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and consisted
primarily of cash used to acquire property, plant, and equipment totaling $4,020,154, offset by
proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment totaling $1,195,664, both within our
Oilfield Services segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash provided by investing
activities consisted primarily of proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties totaling
$859,408 offset by cash used to invest in unconsolidated subsidiaries of $105,500.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $352,935 for the six months ended June 30,
2011 consisted primarily of borrowings on notes payable, which was offset by repayment of financing
arrangements and the issuance of warrants related to the PPM. In addition, during the six months
ended June 30, 2011, we received proceeds totaling $369,470 from the sale of additional shares of
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. We also received proceeds totaling $936,000 from the
issuance of 9% convertible debentures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a
material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe the
most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are
inherently uncertain. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2010, describe the significant accounting estimates and policies
used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could
differ from managements estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical
accounting estimates during the first six months of 2011.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The information is not required under Regulation S-K for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Our management, with the participation
of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011. In making this assessment, our
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure
controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 were not
effective at a reasonable assurance level because of the identification of material weaknesses in
our internal control over financial reporting, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure
controls and procedures. The effect of such weaknesses on our disclosure controls and procedures,
as well as the initial remediation actions taken and planned, are described in Item 9A, Controls
and Procedures, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Remediation and Changes in Internal Controls
We developed and are in the process of implementing remediation plans to address our material
weaknesses. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, the following specific remedial actions have
been put in place:
| Established and filled the position of Vice President Finance with experience in complex financial, accounting, and reporting matters and responsibilities over accounting operations, treasury, internal controls, and external SEC reporting; |
28
Table of Contents
| Established and filled the position of Senior Controller of Accounting Operations and Consolidations with experience in complex financial and accounting matters with responsibilities over accounting operations, certain treasury functions, and internal controls; |
| Implemented additional period-end accounting close procedures and developed a project plan utilizing internal resources to support the re-design of our consolidation process; and | ||
| Engaged an outside consultant to assist us in tax accounting and reporting and to support and assist in the execution of our remediation plans. |
As a result, we believe that there are no material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact
and, to the best of our knowledge, believe that the consolidated financial statements as of and for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
Other than as described above, there have not been any other changes in our internal control
over financial reporting in the six months ended June 30, 2011, which have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not
expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent
or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system cannot provide absolute assurance due to its
inherent limitations; it is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject
to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. A control system also can be
circumvented by collusion or improper management override. 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. Because of such limitations, disclosure controls and internal
control over financial reporting cannot prevent or detect all misstatements, whether unintentional
errors or fraud. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting
process, therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not
eliminate, this risk.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, certain additional material
litigation follows:
On August 26, 2010, two suits were filed by Kevin Audrain and Lori Audrain d/b/a Drain Oil
Company (Plaintiffs) against NYTEX Energy, one as Cause No. 39360 in the 84th District Court in
Hutchinson County, Texas, and the other as Cause No. 10-122 in the 69th District Court in Moore
County, Texas. Both suits were filed by Plaintiffs and both relate to 75.0% of certain producing
oil and gas leaseholds in those counties of the Texas panhandle (the Panhandle Field Producing
Property). On August 1, 2009, NYTEX Petroleum acquired and assumed operations of the Panhandle
Field Producing Property from Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs allege that NYTEX Petroleum did not
engage in a well re-completion (refrac) operation as required by the purchase document between
Plaintiffs and NYTEX Petroleum (the Purchase Document). As a result of this alleged lack of
performance, Plaintiffs believe they are entitled to pursue repurchase of the Panhandle Field
Producing Property in accordance with a buyback provision set forth in the Purchase Document. The
Company believed that NYTEX Petroleum had performed as required. The Company had filed answers to
both suits. On May 9, 2011, effective May 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Compromise Settlement
Agreement and Release of All Claims agreement (the Settlement) with the Plaintiffs whereby all
parties reached a full and final settlement of all claims to both lawsuits. In exchange for the
release of all claims to both suits, concurrent with the Settlement, the Company entered into a
Purchase and Sale Agreement whereby the Company sold its entire interest in the Panhandle Field
Producing Property to the Plaintiffs for the purchase price of $782,000, resulting in a loss on
litigation settlement totaling $965,065 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risk factors relating to our operations
We are in default under our senior debt facility, our mezzanine debt agreement and a put
option relating to our mezzanine debt. If we are unable to reach an agreement with the holders
of these obligations to resolve the defaults, they can exercise remedies which ultimately could
require us to curtail or cease our operations.
On April 13, 2011, we received a letter from PNC Bank, National Association (PNC),
as lender, notifying us of the occurrence and continued existence of certain events of
default under our senior debt facility, in particular, breach of a fixed charge coverage
ratio and breach of our reporting requirements. We are currently in negotiations with PNC
to obtain a waiver of the defaults. However, there are no assurances that we will be
successful in our negotiations with PNC. Because we are in default under the senior debt
facility, PNC may at any time exercise any of its remedies under the facility, which
include acceleration of the amounts owed, which we may not have the ability to pay. If the
debt is accelerated and we are unable to pay, we could experience materially higher
interest expenses, and PNC could seek to satisfy the debt by foreclosing on its liens on
some or all of our assets, which are security under the facility, or could pursue other
legal action. Any such action may require us to curtail or cease our operations.
On April 14, 2011 we received a letter from WayPoint Nytex, LLC (WayPoint), as
mezzanine lender, stating we are in default of the Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase
Agreement among us, Acquisition Inc. and WayPoint (WayPoint Purchase Agreement), for
defaults similar to the PNC defaults plus our failure to pay dividends when due and,
therefore, that WayPoint now has the right to exercise the Control Warrant, as described on
page 7. If WayPoint exercises the Control Warrant, it would own 51% of our outstanding
Common Stock. We are currently in negotiations with WayPoint to obtain a waiver and modify
the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. However, there are no assurances that we will be
successful in our negotiations with WayPoint.
In addition to being in default under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement, on May 4, 2011,
WayPoint provided us with formal written notice (Put Notice) of its election to cause us
to repurchase all securities that WayPoint acquired in connection with the WayPoint
Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $30,000,000 within five business days
following the date of the Put Notice. These securities are enumerated more fully described
under (i) the Risk Factor entitled The WayPoint Control Warrant allows for a change in
control, on page 7 herein, (ii) the Risk Factor entitled The WayPoint Warrants possess
full anti-dilution provisions, and may result in a duplication of dilution, and (iii)
Transactions with Related Parties and Control Persons. We did not and do not have the
funds available to repurchase these securities, but continue to negotiate with WayPoint to
remedy the defaults and resolve WayPoints demands in the Put Notice. However, there are no
assurances that we will be successful in these negotiations, and WayPoint has reserved all
other rights, remedies, actions and powers to which it may be entitled. As a result,
WayPoint may seek certain remedies afforded to them under the WayPoint
30
Table of Contents
Purchase Agreement including the exercise of their Purchaser and Control Warrants, which
would provide WayPoint with ownership of a majority of our outstanding Common Stock, and
thereby give WayPoint significant control over our board of directors and operations.
Alternatively, WayPoint could initiate collection efforts regarding our failure to pay
dividends and repurchase the securities.
By virtue of having the right, and having exercised the right, to designate a majority of
the board of directors of our subsidiary, Acquisition Inc., WayPoint may be deemed to have
control over Acquisition Inc. and its subsidiaries, including FDF, our significant operating
subsidiary. WayPoint also holds the sole outstanding share of our Series B Preferred Stock,
entitling it to increase the size of our board of directors and to designate a majority of our
board. While members of a board of directors owe fiduciary duties to all stockholders, WayPoint
has interests that are in addition to, or different from the interests of our stockholders
generally and that create potential conflicts of interest.
In exchange for WayPoints $20 million investment that was used to finance our
acquisition of FDF, our newly created subsidiary Acquisition Inc. issued WayPoint 20,750
shares of Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock. Acquisition Inc. is the sole owner of
Francis Oaks, LLC, which in turn wholly owns FDF. As long as any such shares are
outstanding, the holders of such shares, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect
two members to the board of Acquisition Inc. Upon the occurrence of a default, as defined
in the WayPoint Purchase Agreement, and as more fully described under the Risk Factor
entitled The WayPointControl Warrant allows for a change in control, that remains uncured
for 75 days, the holders of a majority of shares of Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock may increase the number of directors constituting the board of directors of
Acquisition Inc. up to that number that would give such holders control of a majority of
the board, and to designate such additional directors. On May 9, 2011, WayPoint notified
Acquisition Inc. that, because of the continuing occurrences of default, it elected to
increase the board from four members to five, and designated Mr. J.J. Schickel, Jr. to fill
this newly created vacancy. Mr. Schickel served in this capacity until May 20, 2011, when
WayPoint replaced Mr. Schickel with Mr. Lee Buchwald. As of June 30, 2011, the board of
Acquisition Inc. included Michael Galvis, Kenneth K. Conte, John Henry Moulton (a WayPoint
designee), Thomas Drechsler (a WayPoint designee) and Mr. Buchwald (a WayPoint designee).
While members of a board of directors owe fiduciary duties to all stockholders, WayPoint
has interests that are in addition to, or different from the interests of our stockholders
generally and that create potential conflicts of interest.
The newly-constituted board of Acquisition, Inc. has taken action to change the officers and
directors of some of our subsidiaries. On May 10, 2011, the board of Acquisition Inc. voted to
remove Michael Galvis as president and Kenneth Conte as chief financial officer, treasurer and
secretary of both Oaks and FDF and replace them with Mike Francis as president and Jude Gregory as
chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary. Also on May 10, 2011, the board of Acquisition
Inc. voted to remove all directors and managers, as applicable, of Oaks and FDF, and replace them
with Messrs. Moulton, Drechsler, Galvis, Schickel and Conte as the sole directors and managers, as
applicable. Mr. Schickel served in this capacity until May 20, 2011, when WayPoint replaced Mr.
Schickel with Mr. Lee Buchwald.
As holder of our one outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock, and because of the
continued breaches under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement, WayPoint has the right to increase size
of our board of directors up to that number that would give WayPoint the right to appoint a
majority of our board, and to designate such additional directors. While initially WayPoint
appointed two directors to our board, they subsequently resigned. As of the date of this
prospectus, WayPoint has no designees serving on our board of directors.
Our independent auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue our activities
as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon us resolving the defaults under our loan
agreements, raising additional financial support, and maintaining profitable operations. The
issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a substantial dilution in the equity
interests of our current stockholders. If we should fail to continue as a going concern, you may
lose all or a part of the value of your entire investment in us.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the
defaults under our loan agreements noted above, in their report on the annual financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, our independent auditors
included an explanatory paragraph regarding the doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern.
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our attaining and maintaining profitable
operations, resolving the defaults under certain of our loan agreements, and raising additional
capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary should our company discontinue operations.
31
Table of Contents
Our indebtedness and other payment obligations could restrict our operations and make us
more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions.
We now have, and expect to continue to have, a significant amount of indebtedness. Our
outstanding indebtedness consists of a senior credit facility, the Debentures, and dividends
payable on our Series A Preferred Stock and on the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of
Acquisition Inc. As of June 30, 2011, we owed $17,939,025 under our senior credit facility, $2,035,000
under the Debentures and dividends of $1,452,500 on the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock
of Acquisition Inc. and $267,530 on our Series A Preferred Stock. Additionally, the election of
WayPoint to exercise its put right requires that we repurchase their securities for $30 million.
We do not have the funds available to satisfy these obligations. Our current and future
indebtedness and other obligations could have important consequences. For example, those levels of
indebtedness could:
| impair our ability to make investments and obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate purposes; | ||
| limit our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business because we must dedicate a substantial portion of these funds to make principal and interest payments on our indebtedness; and | ||
| make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business, our industry or the economy in general as a substantial portion of our operating cash flow will be required to make principal and interest payments. |
We also have other put or redemption obligations that may restrict the funds that we can
devote to operations. The holder of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock has the right to
have Acquisition Inc. redeem such shares after the third anniversary of issuance thereof at a
redemption price equal to 104% of the Stated Amount, and at a redemption price equal to 103% of the
Stated Amount 48 months after the date of issuance thereof to May 23, 2016, together, in either
case, with all dividends, declared and unpaid thereon through the redemption date.
After the earliest to occur of (a) a Change of Control, (b) an occurrence of a Default that
remains uncured for seventy-five days; provided, however, that payment to the holders of the Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of all amounts owing to them as a result of a Default shall be
considered a cure of a Default, and (c) May 23, 2016, Acquisition Inc. is required to redeem the
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock at 100% of the Stated Amount, together with all accrued
and unpaid dividends thereon as of the redemption date. If Acquisition Inc. is required to redeem
these shares, and we or it does not have available funds, we may have to curtail or cease
operations.
We need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or other equity securities could
result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
We cannot be certain that our existing sources of cash will be adequate to meet our liquidity
requirements including cash requirements that may be due under either the Senior Facility, our
Preferred Stock, or the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. However, management has implemented plans to
improve liquidity through slowing or stopping certain planned capital expenditures, through the
sale of selected assets deemed unnecessary to our business, and improvements to results from
operations. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell
additional equity or debt securities or obtain an additional credit facility. We cannot assure you
that any additional equity sales or financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable
to us, if at all. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to
our stockholders and result in a significant reduction of your percentage interest in us. The
incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could
result in additional operating and financing covenants that would further restrict our operations.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful with our plans or that our results of
operations will materially improve in either the short-term or long-term and accordingly, we may be
unable to meet our obligations as they become due.
Our business depends on domestic spending by the oil and gas industry, and this spending and
our business have been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by industry and financial market
conditions that are beyond our control.
We depend on our customers willingness to make operating and capital expenditures to explore
for, develop and produce oil and gas in the United States. Customers expectations of lower market
prices for oil and gas, as well as the availability of capital for operating and capital
expenditures, may cause them to curtail spending, thereby reducing demand for our services and
equipment.
Industry conditions are influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control, such as
the supply
of and demand for oil and gas, domestic and worldwide economic conditions, political instability in
oil and gas producing
32
Table of Contents
countries and merger and divestiture activity among oil and gas producers. The volatility of the
oil and gas industry and the consequent impact on exploration and production activity could
adversely impact the level of drilling and workover activity by some of our customers. This
reduction may cause a decline in the demand for our services or adversely affect the price of our
services. Reduced discovery rates of new oil and gas reserves in our market areas also may have a
negative long-term impact on our business, even in an environment of stronger oil and gas prices,
to the extent existing production is not replaced and the number of producing wells for us to
service declines. In addition, recent market conditions and the existence of excess equipment have
resulted in lower utilization rates.
The deterioration in the global economic environment since 2008 has caused the oilfield
services industry
to cycle into a downturn, and the rate at which it may continue to improve, or return to former
levels, is uncertain. Those adverse changes in capital markets and declines in prices for oil and
gas caused many oil and gas producers to announce reductions in capital budgets for future periods.
In the last part of 2008, oil and gas prices declined rapidly, resulting in decreased drilling
activities. During the second half of 2009, oil prices began to increase and remained relatively
stable through the latter half of 2010 and into 2011, which has resulted in increases in drilling
activities, and have been increasingly expanding in the oil-driven markets. However, natural gas
prices continued to decline significantly through most of 2009 and remained depressed throughout
2010 and into 2011, which resulted in decreased activity in the natural gas-driven markets.
Limitations on the availability of capital, or higher costs of capital, for financing expenditures
have caused and may continue to cause these and other oil and gas producers to make additional
reductions to capital budgets in the future even if commodity prices increase from current levels.
These cuts in spending may curtail drilling programs as well as discretionary spending on well
services, which could result in a reduction in the demand for our services, the rates we can charge
and our utilization. In addition, certain of our customers could become unable to pay their
suppliers, including us. As a result of these conditions, our customers spending patterns have
become increasingly unpredictable, making it difficult for us to predict our future operating
results. Additionally, any of these conditions or events could adversely affect our operating
results.
If oil and gas prices remain volatile, or decline, the demand for our services could be
adversely affected.
The demand for our services is primarily determined by current and anticipated oil and gas
prices and the related general production spending and level of drilling activity in the areas in
which we have operations.
Volatility or weakness in oil and gas prices (or the perception that oil and gas prices will
decrease) affects the spending patterns of our customers and may result in the drilling of fewer
new wells or lower production spending on existing wells. This, in turn, could result in lower
demand for our services and may cause lower rates and lower utilization of our well service
equipment. Continued volatility in oil and gas prices or a reduction in drilling activities could
materially and adversely affect the demand for our services and our results of operations.
Competition within the well services industry may adversely affect our ability to market our
services.
The well services industry is highly competitive and fragmented and includes numerous small
companies capable of competing effectively in our markets on a local basis, as well as several
large companies that possess substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. Our
larger competitors greater resources could allow those competitors to compete more effectively
than we can. The amount of equipment available currently exceeds demand, which has resulted in
active price competition. Many contracts are awarded on a bid basis, which may further increase
competition based primarily on price.
We depend on several significant customers, and a loss of one or more significant customers
could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our customers consist primarily of major and independent oil and gas companies. During 2010,
our top five customers accounted for 41% of our revenues. The loss of any one of our largest
customers or a sustained decrease in demand by any of such customers could result in a substantial
loss of revenues and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We may not be able to grow successfully through future acquisitions or successfully manage
future growth, and we may not be able to effectively integrate the businesses we do acquire.
Our business strategy includes growth through the acquisitions of other businesses. We may not
be able to continue to identify attractive acquisition opportunities or successfully acquire
identified targets. Furthermore, competition for acquisition opportunities may escalate, increasing
our cost of making further acquisitions or causing us to refrain from making additional
acquisitions. This strategy may require external financing, which we may not be able to secure at
all, or on favorable conditions, and which are governed by and subject to restrictive covenants
under our existing financial obligations including with WayPoint and PNC. In addition, we may not
be successful in integrating our current or future acquisitions into our existing operations, which
may result in unforeseen operational difficulties or diminished financial performance or require a
disproportionate amount of our managements attention. Even if we are successful in integrating our
current or future acquisitions into our existing operations, we may not derive the benefits, such
as operational or administrative
33
Table of Contents
synergies, that we expected from such acquisitions, which may result in the commitment of our
capital resources without the expected returns on such capital.
Our industry has experienced a high rate of employee turnover. Any difficulty we experience
replacing or adding personnel could adversely affect our business.
We may not be able to find enough skilled labor to meet our needs, which could limit our
growth. Our business activity historically decreases or increases with the price of oil and gas. We
may have problems finding enough skilled and unskilled laborers in the future if the demand for our
services increases. If we are not able to increase our service rates sufficiently to compensate for
wage rate increases, we may not be able to hire and retain the necessary skilled labor to perform
our services.
Other factors may also inhibit our ability to find enough workers to meet our employment
needs. Our services require skilled workers who can perform physically demanding work. As a result
of our industry volatility and the demanding nature of the work, workers may choose to pursue
employment in fields that offer a more desirable work environment at wage rates that are
competitive with ours. We believe that our success is dependent upon our ability to continue to
employ and retain skilled technical personnel. Our inability to employ or retain skilled technical
personnel may adversely affect our ability to complete our ongoing projects or engage new business
in the future, which generally could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our success depends on key members of our management, the loss of any of whom could disrupt
our business operations.
We depend to a large extent on the services of some of our executive officers. The loss of the
services of Michael K. Galvis, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Kenneth K. Conte, our Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer, and Michael G. Francis, President and Chief Executive
Officer of FDF, Jude Gregory, Chief Financial Officer of FDF, or other key personnel could disrupt
our operations. Although we have entered into employment agreements with the executives mentioned
above, and certain other executive officers that contain, among other provisions, non-compete
agreements, we may not be able to retain the executives past the terms of their employment
agreements or enforce the non-compete provisions in the employment agreements.
Our operations are subject to inherent risks, some of which are beyond our control. These
risks may be self-insured, or may not be fully covered under our insurance policies.
Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oil and gas industry, such as, but not
limited to, accidents, blowouts, explosions, craterings, fires and oil spills. These conditions can
cause:
personal injury or loss of life;
damage to or destruction of property and equipment (including the collateral securing our
indebtedness) and the environment;
suspension of our operations; and
lost profits.
The occurrence of a significant event or adverse claim in excess of the insurance coverage
that we maintain or that is not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. In addition, claims for loss of oil and gas
production and damage to formations can occur in the well services industry. Litigation arising
from a catastrophic occurrence at a location where our equipment and services are being used may
result in our being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting large claims.
We maintain insurance coverage that we believe to be customary in the industry against these
hazards. However, we do not have insurance against all foreseeable risks, either because insurance is not
available or because of the high premium costs. As such, not all of our property is insured. We
maintain accruals in our consolidated balance sheets related to self-insurance retentions by using
third-party data and historical claims history. The occurrence of an event not fully insured
against, or the failure of an insurer to meet its insurance obligations, could result in
substantial losses. In addition, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at
rates we consider reasonable. Insurance may not be available to cover any or all of the risks to
which we are subject, or, even if available, it may be inadequate, or insurance premiums or other
costs could rise significantly in the future so as to make such insurance prohibitively expensive.
It is likely that, in the future our insurance renewals, our premiums and deductibles will be
higher, and certain insurance coverage either will be unavailable or considerably more expensive
than it has been in the recent past. In addition, our insurance is subject to coverage limits, and
some policies exclude coverage for damages resulting from environmental contamination.
34
Table of Contents
We are subject to federal, state and local regulations regarding issues of health, safety and
protection of the environment. Under these regulations, we may become liable for penalties, damages
or costs of remediation. Any changes in these laws and government regulations could increase our
costs of doing business.
Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to
protection of natural resources and the environment, health and safety, waste management, and
transportation of waste and other materials. Our fluid services segment includes disposal
operations into injection wells that pose some risks of environmental liability, including leakage
from the wells to surface or subsurface soils, surface water or groundwater. Liability under these
laws and regulations could result in cancellation of well operations, fines and penalties,
expenditures for remediation, and liability for property damage and personal injuries. Sanctions
for noncompliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations also may include assessment of
administrative, civil and criminal penalties, revocation of permits and issuance of corrective
action orders.
Risk factors relating to an investment in our securities
The WayPoint Warrants possess full anti-dilution provisions, and may result in a duplication
of dilution.
The warrant we issued to WayPoint in connection with the financing of the FDF Acquisition to
purchase up to 35% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock (Purchaser Warrant) provides
anti-dilution protection so that the number of shares that may be purchased pursuant to the
Purchaser Warrant, each at $0.01 per share, shall be equal to 35% of the then outstanding shares of
our Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, as measured at the time of full exercise of the
Purchaser Warrant. WayPoint also holds an additional warrant (Control Warrant and collectively
with the Purchaser Warrant, the WayPoint Warrants) to purchase a sufficient number of shares of
our Common Stock so that, measured at the time of exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock
issued or issuable pursuant to the WayPoint Warrants represents 51% of our outstanding Common Stock
on a fully-diluted basis. The exercise price of both WayPoint Warrants is $0.01 per share. The
Control Warrant is exercisable only if certain default conditions exist. Because of these
anti-dilution provisions, each time we issue additional shares of its Common Stock, for whatever
reason, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the WayPoint Warrants
automatically increases. In the event one or both of the WayPoint Warrants is exercised, it will
substantially dilute the ownership interests of all other holders of our Common Stock, from both a
voting and economic perspective. As discussed above, as of the date of this prospectus, the Control
Warrant is exercisable.
The Control Warrant may also become exercisable after the Purchaser Warrant has been fully
exercised and WayPoint has disposed of all shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to that
warrant. Based on the current number of shares outstanding, the Purchaser Warrant could be
exercised for approximately 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Assuming that the Control Warrant
becomes exercisable and all of the shares acquired upon exercise of the Purchaser Warrant are
disposed of by the holder before the Control Warrant is exercised, the Control Warrant would be
exercisable for 51% of our Common Stock, which currently would result in the issuance of
approximately an additional 28,700,000 shares of Common Stock to WayPoint and result in the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding exceeding 76,000,000 shares. Thus, the Purchaser
Warrant and the Control Warrant could result in duplicative dilution.
Exercise of the WayPoint Control Warrant would result in a change in control.
The Control Warrant becomes exercisable at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, upon the
earliest to occur of (i) the occurrence of a Default (defined below) that remains uncured for
seventy-five days; provided, that payment to the holders of Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock of our subsidiary Acquisition Inc. of all amounts owing to them as a result of a Default
shall be considered a cure of a Default; (ii) the date on which a Change of Control (defined below)
occurs, if Acquisition Inc. is not able to redeem all of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock in accordance with its terms; (iii) seventy-five days after the date on which the third
Default has occurred within a consecutive twelve-month period; and (iv) May 23, 2016, if
Acquisition Inc. is not able to redeem all of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock in
accordance with its terms (the Default Conditions). The term Default includes 14 categories of
events, which are listed in Section 11.1 of the WayPoint Purchase Agreement and which list
includes, among other events, (i) the failure of Acquisition Inc. to timely make a redemption
payment to holders of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, (ii) the failure of
Acquisition Inc. to timely make a dividend payment to holders of the Senior Series A Redeemable
Preferred Stock, (iii) our failure or the failure of Acquisition Inc. to perform covenants in the
WayPoint Purchase Agreement, (iv) our failure to meet a fixed-charge coverage ratio, leverage ratio

WayPoint within 30 days. As stated in more detail above, certain of the Default Conditions have
occurred, and the Control Warrant is, as of the date of this prospectus, exercisable.
The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the convertible debentures and
Series A Preferred Stock, as well as upon exercise of outstanding warrants may cause immediate and
substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.
If the market price per share of our Common Stock at the time of conversion of our Convertible
Debentures or Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of any warrants, options, or any other
convertible securities is in excess of the various conversion or exercise prices of these
derivative securities, conversion or exercise of these derivative securities would have a dilutive
effect on our Common Stock. As of June 30, 2011, we had (i) outstanding 12% convertible debentures
which are convertible into an aggregate of 1,356,667 shares of our Common Stock at a conversion
price of $1.50 per share, (ii) 6,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are convertible
into an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at $1.00 per share, (iii) warrants to
purchase 2,230,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share of our Common
Stock and (iv) outstanding 9% convertible debentures issued by NYTEX Petroleum which are
convertible into an aggregate 586,506 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per
share (the NYTEX Petroleum Convertible Debentures). Further, any additional financing that we
secure may require the granting of rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our Common
Stock, which may result in additional dilution of the existing ownership interests of our Common
Stockholders.
The terms of our indebtedness to PNC and our transaction with WayPoint restrict our
operations.
We need consent from PNC and WayPoint to engage in certain activities, including, but not
limited to, incurring further indebtedness, granting any liens on our assets, disposing of our
assets, entering into mergers, or conducting acquisitions. If appropriate consents cannot be
obtained from PNC and WayPoint, we may not be able to pursue capital-
36
Table of Contents
raising transactions or acquisitions that we believe are in our best interests and those of our
stockholders.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, compliance with which
is expensive.
We are a public reporting company in the U.S. and, accordingly, subject to the information and
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securities laws, and the compliance
obligations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The costs of preparing and filing annual and
quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited
reports to stockholders will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we were a
privately held company.
Our compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls will be
time consuming, difficult, and costly.
As a reporting company, it will be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and
implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We
will need to hire additional financial reporting, internal control, and other finance staff in
order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are
unable to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Acts requirements regarding internal controls, we may not
be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires
publicly traded companies to obtain.
If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, our ability to provide accurate
financial statements and comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could be impaired,
which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decrease substantially.
We have committed limited personnel and resources to the development of the external reporting
and compliance obligations that are required of a public company. We have taken measures to address
and improve our financial reporting and compliance capabilities and we are in the process of
instituting changes to satisfy our obligations in connection with being a public company, when and
as such requirements become applicable to us. We plan to obtain additional financial and accounting
resources to support and enhance our ability to meet the requirements of being a public company. We
will need to continue to improve our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and
procedures, and documentation thereof. If our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems,
or procedures fail, we may not be able to provide accurate financial statements on a timely basis
or comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as it applies to us. Any failure of our internal controls or
our ability to provide accurate financial statements could cause the trading price of our Common
Stock to decline substantially.
Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our stockholders.
Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume
fluctuations especially in times of economic uncertainty. In particular, the market prices of
companies quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, where our shares of Common Stock are quoted, generally has been
very volatile and has experienced sharp share-price and trading-volume changes. The public trading
price of our Common Stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to the
following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
variations in our operating results;
changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates
by securities analysts and investors;
changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry;
WayPoints exercise of the Purchase Warrant or the Control Warrant;
additions or departures of key personnel;
future sales of our Common Stock; and
general economic and political conditions.
The market price for our Common Stock may be particularly volatile given our status as a
smaller reporting company with a presumably small and thinly-traded float. You may be unable to
sell your Common Stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial
losses to you.
The market for our Common Stock may be characterized by significant price volatility when
compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will be more volatile than a
seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The potential volatility in our share price is
attributable to a number of factors. As noted above, our Common Stock may be sporadically and/or
thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small
quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares
in either direction. The price for our shares could, for
37
Table of Contents
example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on
the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer that could better absorb
those sales without adverse impact on its share price.
Our Common Stock has only recently begun trading. We expect our Common Stock to be
thinly-traded. You may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise
money or otherwise desire to liquidate such shares.
We cannot predict the extent to which an active public trading market for our Common Stock
will develop or be sustained due to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a smaller
reporting company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional
investors, and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume. Even if
we come to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to
follow an unproven company as currently constituted such as ours or purchase or recommend the
purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence,
there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our Common Stock is minimal
or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading
activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We
cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our Common
Stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.
Our Common Stock may be subject to penny stock rules, which may make it more difficult for our
stockholders to sell their Common Stock.
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks are regulated by
certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally
are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share. The penny stock rules require a
broker-dealer, prior to a purchase or sale of a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to
deliver to the customer a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about
penny stocks and the 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 customers account. In addition, the penny stock rules
generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special
written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive
the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the
effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes
subject to the penny stock rules.
We do not anticipate paying any dividends.
We presently do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends on any of our Common Stock in
the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Common Stock, if any, would be contingent
upon our revenues, earnings, capital requirements, and our general financial condition. We will pay
dividends on our Common Stock only if and when declared by our board of directors. The ability of our board of
directors to declare a dividend is subject to restrictions imposed by Delaware law and under our
financing arrangements, including our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. Additionally, we may
not pay a dividend on our Common Stock until we are current in dividends payable on our Series A
Preferred Stock, as discussed more fully above under the Risk Factor, Our indebtedness and other
payment obligations could restrict our operations and make us more vulnerable to adverse economic
conditions. In determining whether to declare dividends, our board of directors will consider
these restrictions as well as our financial condition, results of operations, working capital
requirements, future prospects and other factors it considers relevant.
Other risk factors
Reserve data of our oil and gas operations are estimates based on assumptions that may be
inaccurate.
There are uncertainties inherent in estimating natural gas and oil reserves and their
estimated value, including many factors beyond our control as producer. Reservoir engineering is a
subjective and inexact process of estimating underground accumulations of natural gas and oil that
cannot be measured in an exact manner and is based on assumptions that may vary considerably from
actual results.
Accordingly, reserve estimates and actual production, revenue and expenditures likely will
vary, possibly materially, from estimates. Additionally, there recently has been increased debate
and disagreement over the classification of reserves, with particular focus on proved undeveloped
reserves. Changes in interpretations as to classification standards or disagreements with our
interpretations could cause us to write down these reserves.
The extent to which we can benefit from successful acquisition and development activities or
acquire profitable oil and natural gas producing properties with development potential is highly
dependent on the level of success in finding or acquiring reserves.

Item 5. Other Information
On April 13, 2011, PNC Bank, as lender, provided us with a formal written notice of default of
our Senior Facility. In addition, on April 14, 2011, WayPoint provided us with a formal written
notice of default under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. The Senior Facility and WayPoint Purchase
Agreement require that we comply with certain reporting and financial covenants, including, among
other things, providing the lender and WayPoint, within set time periods, with financial
information, notifying the lender and WayPoint of any change in management, limitations on the
amount of capital expenditures, and maintaining certain financial ratios. As a result of the
challenges incurred in integrating the FDF operations and due to higher than anticipated capital
expenditures at FDF, we were unable to meet several reporting and financial covenants under our
Senior Facility and WayPoint Purchase Agreement measured as of November 30, 2010 and February 28,
2011. Failure to meet the covenants under the respective agreements constitutes a default, leading
to PNC Bank and WayPoint providing the formal written notices of default. However, neither PNC Bank
nor WayPoint (see Put Notice below) commenced the exercise of any of their respective other rights
and remedies, but expressly reserved all such rights. If PNC Bank were to exercise their rights and
remedies under the Senior Facility, PNC could foreclose of its liens on the assets of FDF and
Acquisition Inc. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the outstanding principal balance of the
amounts owed under the Senior Facility was $17,939,025 and $17,752,723, respectively, and is,
because of this default, reported within current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at
June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
On May 4, 2011, WayPoint provided formal written notice (Put Notice) to us of its
election to cause us to repurchase (i) warrants issued to WayPoint (Warrants) that, in
the aggregate, allow WayPoint to purchase that number of shares of our common stock to
equal 51% of our fully diluted capital stock then outstanding, (ii) the 20,750 shares of
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of Acquisition Inc. owned by WayPoint, and (iii) one
share of our Series B Preferred Stock owned by WayPoint, for an aggregate purchase price
of $30,000,000 within five business days following the date of the Put Notice. We did not
have the funds available to satisfy this Put Notice in a timely manner, but continue to negotiate
with WayPoint to remedy the defaults and resolve WayPoints demands in the Put Notice. As a
result, WayPoint may seek certain remedies afforded to them under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement
including the exercise of their Purchaser and Control Warrants. However, there are no assurances
that we will be successful in these negotiations, and WayPoint has reserved all other
rights, remedies, actions and powers to which WayPoint may be entitled.
At June 30, 2011, the derivative liability related to the Purchaser and Control Warrants was
$33,880,000 and is, because of this default, reported within current liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011. We are currently in negotiations with PNC Bank and
WayPoint to remedy the defaults which include managements plans to enhance our current liquidity
through delaying capital expenditures through the remainder of 2011 and improvements to the results
of operations. However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in our negotiations with
PNC Bank and/or WayPoint. See Part I, Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources for more information.
