Manager and Members of

Frontier Income and Growth, LLC and Subsidiary Dallas,

Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Frontier Income and Growth, LLC and Subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Frontier Income and Growth, LLC and Subsidiary at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their consolidated operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FRONTIER INCOME AND GROWTH, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and business

Frontier Income and Growth, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the Company), was organized to engage in the oil field services industry, including the transportation and disposal of salt water and other oil field fluids primarily in the Haynesville Shale in East Texas. The Company’s customer base includes national, integrated, and independent oil and gas exploration companies. The Company was organized in January 2009 and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The Company is managed by Frontier Asset Management, LLC (Note 5).

The Company purchased the outstanding membership interests of Trinity Disposal & Trucking, LLC (Trinity) effective March 1, 2010 (the Effective Date) for total consideration of $3,000,000 (the Purchase Price). The Purchase Price was paid through the issuance of a $1,000,000 promissory note and a $2,000,000 cash payment. The promissory note was paid during the year ended December 31, 2010. Trinity is in the business of transporting and disposing of salt water and other oil field fluids for operators of oil and gas leases. At the date of acquisition, Trinity owned five disposal wells in Harrison County, Texas, two permitted disposal wells in Panola County, Texas and nineteen trucks and fifteen trailers.

The Company’s purchase of Trinity has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company was deemed to be the acquirer and Trinity was deemed to be the acquiree. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, the assets of Trinity were recorded at cost, which the Company believes approximates fair value, and the results of operations and cash flows are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements subsequent to the Effective Date.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company accepted a subscription agreement from TBX Resources, Inc. (TBX) to purchase a 51% interest in the Company. Through February 24, 2012, TBX has contributed $2,610,000 in cash and $390,000 in the form of an unsecured receivable in exchange for a 35% interest in the Company (Note 5).

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trinity. All significant intercompany transactions, accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Management estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FRONTIER INCOME AND GROWTH, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 financial statements to conform to the 2011 consolidated financial statement presentation. The effect of the reclassifications was to include advances from affiliates as a non-current asset, depreciation expense as a component of ‘cost of revenues’, to include fuel surcharges as a reduction of ‘other costs’ on the accompanying statements of operations and to include payroll processing fees as a component of ‘salaries and wages’ on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Cash

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, time deposits, certificates of deposit and short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains deposits in two financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provides coverage for interest bearing accounts of up to $250,000 and unlimited coverage for non-interest bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, none of the Company’s cash was in excess of federally insured limits.

Accounts receivable

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and extends credit to virtually all of its customers on an uncollateralized basis. Credit losses to date have been insignificant and within management’s expectations. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. Normal accounts receivable are due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Receivables past due more than 60 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are evaluated for collectability based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had not identified any significant customer balances which it believes are uncollectible.

Property and equipment

The Company’s property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial reporting purposes. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gains or losses are charged or credited to income in the respective period. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Asset Description

   Estimated Useful Life  

Trucks and equipment

     3-5 years   

Disposal wells

     3-5 years   

Buildings

     7-10 years   

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company disposed of property and equipment with a cost of $136,270 and $177,496, respectively, and accumulated depreciation of $35,361 and $27,765, respectively. The Company received total cash proceeds of $46,000 and $87,407, respectively, and recognized a loss of $54,909 and $62,324, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

FRONTIER INCOME AND GROWTH, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Commissions and offering costs

In connection with the Company’s capital raising activities during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $98,000 and $796,866, respectively, in commissions paid to brokers and other offering costs. These costs have been accounted for as a reduction of members’ capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. A portion of these costs were paid to related parties (Note 5).

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when services are rendered, field tickets are signed and received, and when payment is determinable and reasonably assured. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers for amounts invoiced.

Income taxes

The Company is organized as a limited liability company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes because the Company does not incur income tax liabilities. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the Members’ income tax returns and are taxed based on the respective Member’s income tax rate.

The Company is subject to the Texas Franchise Tax. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has recorded a liability of $33,000 and $10,000, respectively, which is included in ‘accounts payable and accrued expenses’ on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Fair value measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the customer’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.

Fair value of financial instruments

In accordance with the reporting requirements of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying amounts due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt also approximates fair value since these instruments bear a market rate of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

FRONTIER INCOME AND GROWTH, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Long-lived assets

The Company periodically reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be realizable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had not identified any such impairment.

Asset retirement obligations

ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, requires companies to recognize a liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) at fair value in the period in which the obligation is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. This obligation relates to the future costs of plugging and abandoning the Company’s salt water disposal wells, the removal of equipment and facilities, and returning such land to its original condition.

The Company has not recorded an ARO for the future estimated reclamation costs associated with the operation of the Company’s six salt water disposal wells. The Company is not able to determine the estimated life of its wells and is unable to determine a reasonable estimate of the fair value associated with this liability. The Company believes that any such liability would not be material to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Recent accounting pronouncements

During the year ended December 31, 2011 and through February 24, 2012, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the most recent of which was Accounting Standards Update 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent events

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company has reviewed, as determined necessary by the Company’s management, events that have occurred after December 31, 2011, up until the issuance of the consolidated financial statements, which occurred on February 24, 2012.

Equipment notes payable

The Company’s equipment notes payable consist of ten installment notes for ten trucks used in the Company’s operations. At December 31, 2011, the notes have annual interest rates of 7.87% and 7.25%, require monthly minimum principal payments of $2,503 and $2,544, and mature during December 2014 and January 2015. The Company’s notes payable are collateralized by the truck purchased with the respective note payable.

The equipment notes payable included a deferred interest component of $257,655 which was added to the principal balance of the notes by the lender. The deferred interest is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the notes.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At the date the Company purchased Trinity (Note 1) the previous owner informed the Company’s management that two of the disposal wells were not functioning and the permitted disposal well locations had certain landowner disputes. Under the terms of the Amended Purchase Agreement, at the option of the Company, the previous owner is to provide either a proportionate reduction of the promissory note issued in connection with the acquisition or provide similar assets to replace the assets in dispute. The Company believes that it may be possible to repair these wells, but does not have an estimate of the time within which the repairs will be completed but anticipates beginning this process during the first quarter of 2012. If the efforts to repair the wells are not successful, the Company may seek compensation from the prior owner of Trinity pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement. The Company may also accept other assets of equal value from the former owner. The Company issued a demand letter to the former owner during February 2011 and is currently attempting to resolve the issues with the former owner.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and business

Frontier Income and Growth, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the Company), was organized to engage in the oil field services industry, including the transportation and disposal of salt water and other oil field fluids primarily in the Haynesville Shale in East Texas. The Company’s customer base includes national, integrated, and independent oil and gas exploration companies. The Company was organized in January 2009 and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The Company is managed by Frontier Asset Management, LLC (Note 5).

The Company purchased the outstanding membership interests of Trinity Disposal & Trucking, LLC (Trinity) effective March 1, 2010 (the Effective Date) for total consideration of $3,000,000 (the Purchase Price). The Purchase Price was paid through the issuance of a $1,000,000 promissory note and a $2,000,000 cash payment. The promissory note was paid during the period ended December 31, 2010. Trinity is in the business of transporting and disposing of salt water and other oil field fluids for operators of oil and gas leases. At June 30, 2012 Trinity has five disposal wells in Harrison County, Texas, two disposal wells in Panola County, Texas and one disposal well in Marion County, Texas and twenty trucks and trailers.

The Company’s purchase of Trinity has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company was deemed to be the acquirer and Trinity was deemed to be the acquiree. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, the assets of Trinity were recorded at cost, which the Company believes approximates fair value, and the results of operations and cash flows are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements subsequent to the Effective Date.

During the third quarter of the previous year, the Company accepted a subscription agreement from Frontier Oilfield Services, Inc. (Frontier; formerly TBX Resources, Inc.) to purchase a 51% interest in the Company. As of June 30, 2012, Frontier has contributed $3,877,000 in cash and $1,203,800 in the form of an unsecured receivable in exchange for a 51% interest in the Company (Note 5 and 6).

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trinity. All significant intercompany transactions, accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis Of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit. Information and footnote disclosures included in financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year.

FRONTIER INCOME AND GROWTH, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

Management estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, time deposits, certificates of deposit and short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains deposits in two financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provides coverage for interest bearing accounts of up to $250,000 and unlimited coverage for non-interest bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2012. At June 30, 2012 none of the Company’s cash was in excess of federally insured limits.

Accounts receivable

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and extends credit to virtually all of its customers on an uncollateralized basis. Credit losses to date have been insignificant and within management’s expectations. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. Normal accounts receivable are due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Receivables past due more than 60 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are evaluated for collectability based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. At June 30, 2012, the Company had not identified any significant customer balances which it believes are uncollectible.

Property and equipment

The Company’s property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial reporting purposes. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gains or losses are charged or credited to income in the respective period. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Asset Description

   Estimated Useful Life  

Trucks and equipment

     3-5 years   

Disposal wells

     3-5 years   

Buildings

     7-10 years   

During the periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company disposed of property and equipment with a cost of $209,624 and $136,270, respectively, and accumulated depreciation of $77,171 and $35,361, respectively. The Company received total proceeds of $123,722 and $46,000, respectively, and recognized a loss of $18,306 and $54,909, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Commissions and offering costs

In connection with the Company’s capital raising activities during the periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $0 and $98,000, respectively, in commissions paid to brokers. These costs have been accounted for as a reduction of members’ capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when services are rendered, field tickets are signed and received, and when payment is determinable and reasonably assured. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers for amounts invoiced.

Income taxes

The Company is organized as a limited liability company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes because the Company does not incur income tax liabilities. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the Members’ income tax returns and are taxed based on the respective Member’s income tax rate.

The Company is subject to the Texas Franchise Tax. There was no outstanding liability for franchise taxes as of June 30, 2012.

Fair value measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the customer’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.

Fair value of financial instruments

In accordance with the reporting requirements of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying amounts due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt also approximates fair value since these instruments bear a market rate of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

Long-lived assets

The Company periodically reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be realizable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. At June 30, 2012, the Company had not identified any such impairment.

Asset retirement obligations

ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, requires companies to recognize a liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) at fair value in the period in which the obligation is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. This obligation relates to the future costs of plugging and abandoning the Company’s salt water disposal wells, the removal of equipment and facilities, and returning such land to its original condition.

The Company has not recorded an ARO for the future estimated reclamation costs associated with the operation of the Company’s eight salt water disposal wells. The Company is not able to determine the estimated life of its wells and is unable to determine a reasonable estimate of the fair value associated with this liability. The Company believes that any such liability would not be material to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Recent accounting pronouncements

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results. The Company will monitor these emerging issues to assess any potential future impact on its financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS
