ALY ENERGY SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Aly Energy Services Inc. (“Aly Operating”) was incorporated in Delaware on July 17, 2012, for the purpose of creating an oilfield manufacturing, distribution and services company that serves exploration and production companies from well planning to plug and abandonment.

On October 26, 2012, Aly Operating acquired all of the stock of Austin Chalk Petroleum Services Corp. (“Austin Chalk”). Austin Chalk provides surface rental equipment as well as roustabout services which include the rig-up and rig-down of equipment and the hauling of equipment to and from the customer's location.

On May 14, 2013, Aly Operating and Preferred Voice, Inc. (“Preferred Voice”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the holders of common stock of Aly Operating surrendered all of their shares in exchange for approximately 68 million newly issued shares of common stock of Preferred Voice (the “Share Exchange”), representing approximately 92% of the outstanding common stock of Preferred Voice after giving effect to the Share Exchange. Shares were exchanged at the ratio of 19.91 shares of Preferred Voice common stock for each one share of Aly Operating common stock.
 
Immediately after the execution and delivery of the Exchange Agreement, Preferred Voice amended its certificate of incorporation to change the name of Preferred Voice to Aly Energy Services, Inc. (“Aly Energy” or the “Company”) and Aly Operating amended its certificate of incorporation to change the name of Aly Energy Services Inc. to Aly Operating, Inc.

For financial accounting purposes, this acquisition (referred to as the “Merger”) was a reverse acquisition of Preferred Voice by Aly Operating under the acquisition method of accounting and was treated as a recapitalization with Aly Operating as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared to give retroactive effect of the Merger completed on May 14, 2013 and represent the operations of Aly Operating.

On April 15, 2014, Aly Energy acquired the business conducted by United Centrifuge USA, LLC (“United”) in the solids control and fluids management sectors of the oilfield services and rental equipment industry. The transaction (“United Acquisition”) included the purchase of certain assets used by United that were owned by related parties, the purchase of certain of the membership interests of United and the merger of United with and into Aly Centrifuge Inc. (“Aly Centrifuge”).

The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aly Operating and Aly Centrifuge, and Aly Operating has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Austin Chalk.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation have been included.

ALY ENERGY SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 10, 2014. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
 
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aly Energy and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Revenue Recognition: The Company generates revenues primarily from renting equipment at per-day rates. In connection with certain of its solids control operations and skimming operations, the Company also provides personnel to operate its equipment at the customer’s location at per-day or per-hour rates. In addition, the Company may provide equipment transportation and rig-up/rig-down services to the customer at flat rates per job or at an hourly rate. Revenue is recognized when it is realized or realizable and earned.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and a liability for contingent payments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

The Company measures its liability for contingent payments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the Company is required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Valuations are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company’s liability for contingent payments represents the fair value of estimated additional cash payments related to the United Acquisition. The payments are subject to the achievement of certain financial performance goals. The fair value of the liability for contingent payments represents the present value of required payments based upon the Company’s internal model and projections. Cash payments are due on May 31, 2015, 2016, and 2017.

Changes in fair value are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the related assets, are charged to expense when incurred. Refurbishments and renewals are capitalized when the value of the equipment is enhanced for an extended period. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operating income.
 
The cost of property and equipment currently in service is depreciated, on a straight-line basis, over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from one to 20 years. A residual value of 20% is used for asset types deemed to have a minimum salvage value, normally these assets contain a large amount of iron in their construction. Major classifications of property, plant and equipment and their respective useful lives are as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
 
Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In assessing the likelihood and extent that deferred tax assets will be realized, consideration is given to projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Previously recognized tax positions are reversed in the first period in which it is no longer more-likely-than-not that the tax position would be sustained upon examination.

Income tax related interest and penalties, if applicable, are recorded as a component of the provision for income tax expense. However, there were no amounts recognized relating to interest and penalties in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 or for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2014. 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications, including a reclassification of a significant portion of payroll expense and other direct expenses from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of revenues, have been made to prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentations. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Amended and Restated Credit Facility: Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility

On April 15, 2014 and in connection with the United Acquisition, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The new agreement increased the size of our credit facility to $30.0 million, consisting of a $25.0 million term loan with a maturity date of April 30, 2017 and a $5.0 million revolving credit facility. The obligations under the agreement are guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The credit agreement contains customary events of default and covenants including restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, make capital expenditures, pay dividends or make other distributions, grant liens and sell assets. The borrowing base for the revolving credit facility is determined monthly based upon our inventory and receivables.

ALY ENERGY SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, at our option, at the base rate or LIBOR. The annual interest rate on each base rate borrowing is (i) the greatest of Wells Fargo’s Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% and the one-month LIBOR rate on such day plus 1.00%, plus (ii) a margin between 2.50% and 3.50% (depending on the then current leverage ratio). The interest rate on each LIBOR loan will be the LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period plus a margin between 3.50% and 4.50% (depending on the then-current leverage ratio).
 
The Company is required to satisfy certain financial and reporting covenants in conjunction with our debt facilities. We were in compliance with all of our covenants as of June 30, 2014.

Borrowings under the term loan facility are repayable in quarterly principal payments of $1.3 million with a balloon payment of the remaining outstanding borrowings on April 30, 2017. Proceeds of the term loan were used to repay indebtedness of approximately $9.9 million under the previous credit facility and to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the United Acquisition.

At June 30, 2014, there was $23.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the term loan and no borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2014, we had $5.0 million available under the revolving credit facility.
 
The Company leases certain vehicles and equipment, with the intent to purchase, under non-cancelable capital leases. The terms of these leases range from three to five years with varying payment dates throughout each month.
 
NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contractual Commitments — The Company has numerous contractual commitments in the ordinary course of business including debt service requirements and operating leases. The Company leases land and other facilities from an affiliate and leases equipment from non-affiliates. Certain of these leases extend to 2018.

Litigation — The Company is subject to certain claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that any claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 6 – PREFERRED STOCK

Two of the Company’s subsidiaries have preferred stock which is outstanding as of June 30, 2014. Aly Operating issued Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the acquisition of Austin Chalk (“Aly Operating Preferred Stock”) and Aly Centrifuge issued the Aly Centrifuge Preferred Stock in connection with the United Acquisition. For financial reporting purposes, both classes of preferred stock are consolidated in the results of the Company.
 
Aly Operating Preferred Stock
As part of the acquisition of Austin Chalk, Aly Operating agreed to issue up to 4 million shares of Aly Operating Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.01, to the seller. The shares were issued in two tranches. The first tranche of 2 million shares was issued on December 31, 2012 and the second tranche of 2 million shares was issued on March 31, 2013.

The Aly Operating Preferred Stock is entitled to a cumulative dividend of 5% per year on its liquidation preference, compounded quarterly. The liquidation preference was $4.0 million on the closing date and will increase by the amount of dividends paid in kind. Aly Operating is not required to pay cash dividends.

The holder of the Aly Operating Preferred Stock and Aly Operating can, at either’s option, require the other party to redeem the preferred stock for cash on the fourth anniversary of the closing date of the sale or October 26, 2016. However, there is no requirement for either party to redeem the preferred stock.

The preferred stock agreement also provides for exchange into shares of Company common stock or redemption should the Company transact a liquidity event, as defined in the agreement, or if the Company transacts an initial public offering.

The Aly Operating Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet because the settlement provisions provide the holder the option to require Aly Operating to redeem the Aly Operating Preferred Stock at the liquidation price plus any accrued dividends.

Aly Centrifuge Preferred Stock
As part of the United Acquisition, Aly Centrifuge issued 5,000 shares of Aly Centrifuge Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.01, to the sellers in the transaction, with a face value of $5.0 million. At the closing, 2,000 shares of the Aly Centrifuge Preferred Stock are subject to an 18-month holdback for general indemnification purposes pursuant to the purchase agreement, which holdback share number may be adjusted from time to time.

The Aly Centrifuge Preferred Stock is entitled to a cumulative dividend of 5% per year on its liquidation preference, compounded quarterly. The liquidation preference was $5.0 million on the closing date and will increase by the amount of dividends paid in kind. Aly Centrifuge is not required to pay cash dividends.

The holder of the Aly Centrifuge Preferred Stock and Aly Centrifuge can, at either’s option, require the other party to redeem the preferred stock for cash on or after December 31, 2016. However, there is no requirement for either party to redeem the preferred stock.

The preferred stock agreement also provides for the exchange into shares of Company common stock on any date, from time to time, at the option of the holder, into the number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) the sum of (A) the liquidation preference plus (B) an amount per share equal to accrued but unpaid dividends not previously added to the liquidation preference on such share of preferred stock, divided by (ii) 1,000, and (iii) multiplied by the exchange rate in effect at such time. The exchange rate currently in effect is 1428.57 or $0.70 per share of Company common stock.

NOTE 7 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock (“Common Shares”) outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus, when their effect is dilutive, incremental shares consisting of shares subject to outstanding stock options and restricted stock as appropriate.

    100,003,237       71,170,440       95,050,158       69,579,708  
 
The denominator calculated for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 applies a conversion rate of 19.91 per Common Share throughout the period to reflect the impact of the Merger as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period.

Securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share include unvested stock options, Aly Operating Preferred Stock and Aly Centrifuge Preferred Stock. The stock options vest and the Aly Operating Preferred Stock becomes exchangeable upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined in the respective agreements. As of June 30, 2014, the stock options were unvested and the Aly Operating Preferred Stock was not exchangeable into Common Shares. The Aly Centrifuge Preferred Stock is exchangeable as of June 30, 2014 and, if exchanged, could result in the issuance of up to 7,142,850 Common Shares. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the effect of the exchange of Aly Centrifuge Preferred Stock would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 8 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Share-Based Payments

The Company issued no shares and 19,910 Common Shares during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as part of compensation of an officer of the Company. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of approximately $0 and $4,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 

The Company issued no shares and 39,820 Common Shares during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as part of compensation of an officer of the Company. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of approximately $0 and $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Stock Options

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan available to grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. We did not issue any stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
 
The Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors on May 2, 2013. On May 2, 2013, the Company granted 6,769,400 Common Shares under the Plan which was the maximum number authorized. As of June 30, 2014, options to purchase 6,769,400 Common Shares under the Plan were outstanding.

The option contract term is 10 years and the exercise price is $0.20. The options vest and are exercisable if a “Liquidity Event” occurs and certain conditions are met. A Liquidity Event is defined as an IPO or a change of control, as defined in the plan. Pursuant to the plan, an IPO is defined as an underwritten public offering of shares. If the first Liquidity Event is an IPO, then the options vest and are exercisable immediately if the IPO is effected at a price of $0.40 per share or greater. If the IPO is effected at a price less than $0.40 per share, but the stock price post-IPO reaches $0.40 per share during the six month period immediately following the IPO, then the options vest and are exercisable. If the IPO is effected at a price less than $0.40 per share and the share price does not reach $0.40 per share prior to the sixth month anniversary of the IPO, the options do not vest and expire. If the first Liquidity Event to occur is a change of control, then the options vest if the change of control takes place at a price of at least $0.40 per share or more. If such change in control occurs at a price less than $0.40 per share, the options do not vest and expire.
 
The fair value of each option award granted under the Plan is estimated on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The same Monte Carlo simulation method is used to determine the derived service period of five years. In addition, expected volatilities have been based on comparable public company data, with consideration given to the Company’s limited historical data. The Company makes estimates with respect to employee termination and forfeiture rates of the options within the valuation model. The risk-free rate is based on the approximate U.S. Treasury yield rate in effect at the time of grant. For options granted prior to the Company’s acquisition of Preferred Voice, which closed on May 14, 2013, the calculation of the Company’s stock price involved the use of different valuation techniques, including a combination of an income and/or market approach. Determination of the fair value was a matter of judgment and often involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The following table presents the assumptions used in determining the fair value of option awards during the period:
 
Expected Volatility
    80.0 %
Expected Forfeiture Rate
    0.0 %
Risk-Free Interest Rate
    1.66 %
Fair Value of Company Stock
  $ 0.171  
 
At June 30, 2014, there is approximately $0.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards. Such amount will be recognized in the future upon occurrence of a Liquidity Event that results in a vesting of the options. No options vested during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014, as no vesting events occurred during the period.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) includes certain statements and information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “ensure,” “expect,” “if,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecasts,” “predict,” “outlook,” “aim,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “would,” “may,” “probable,” “likely,” and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes, and the negative thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which are not generally historical in nature, include those that express a belief, expectation or intention regarding our future activities, plans and goals and our current expectations with respect to, among other things:
 
 
our future revenues, income and operating performance;
 
 
our ability to sustain and improve our utilization and margins;
 
 
operating cash flows and availability of capital;
 
 
the timing and success of future acquisitions and other special projects;
 
 
future capital expenditures; and
 
 
our ability to finance equipment, working capital and capital expenditures.
 
Forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance and actual results could differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs, forecasts for our existing operations, experience, expectations and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and their effect on us, and other factors believed to be appropriate. Although management believes the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, no assurance can be given that these assumptions are accurate or that any of these expectations will be achieved (in full or at all). Our forward-looking statements involve significant risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
 
a sustained decrease in domestic spending by the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry;
 
 
a decline in or substantial volatility of crude oil and natural gas commodity prices;
 
 
overcapacity and competition in our industry;
 
 
increased pressures on pricing due to competition and economic conditions;
     
 
unanticipated costs, delays, regulatory compliance requirements and other difficulties in executing our long-term growth strategy, including those related to expansion into new geographic regions and new business lines;
 
 
18

 
 
 
the incurrence of significant costs and liabilities in the future resulting from our failure to comply, or our compliance with, new or existing environmental regulations or an accidental release of hazardous substances into the environment;
 
 
the loss of, or inability to attract new, key management personnel;
 
 
the loss of, or failure to pay amounts when due by, one or more significant customers;
 
 
a shortage of qualified workers;
 
 
operating hazards inherent in our industry;
 
 
accidental damage to or malfunction of equipment;
 
 
an increase in interest rates;
 
 
the potential inability to comply with the financial and other covenants in our debt agreements as a result of reduced revenues and financial performance or our inability to raise sufficient funds through assets sales or equity issuances should need to raise funds through such methods; and
 
 
the potential failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.
 
For additional information regarding known material factors that could affect our operating results and performance, please read (1) “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and (2) “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and in Part II, Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Should one or more of these known material risks occur, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance, achievements or plans could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement.
 
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, together with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

As used in the subsequent discussion, “we”, “our”, and “us” refers to Aly Operating prior to the Merger transaction on May 14, 2013 and to Aly Energy thereafter. For the purposes of discussing and reporting financial information, we do not distinguish between Aly Energy and Aly Operating because the impact of the inclusion of Aly Energy, a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under Exchange Act) prior to the Share Exchange (described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q), on the consolidated financial statements is immaterial.
 
Beginning on April 16, 2014, our financial results include the financial results of the business acquired in the United Acquisition transaction.
 
This section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statement because of various factors, including those described in the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” of this Form 10-Q.

Our equipment includes mud circulating tanks (400 and 500 barrel capacity), mud pumps (diesel and electric), live oil skimming systems with mud gas separators, flare lines with flare stacks, containment systems with stairs, portable mud mixing plants, centrifuges, and shakers/vertical dryers. We provide personnel to rig-up and rig-down our rental equipment and to haul our equipment to and from the customer's location. In certain regions, we also provide personnel to operate our solids control equipment and our skimming systems at the customer’s well site. We service the Permian Basin (in Texas and New Mexico), Eagle Ford Shale, Utica Shale, Marcellus Shale, Woodford Shale, Granite Wash, Mississippian Lime, and Tuscaloosa Marine Shale. Our primary operating yards, shop and repair facilities, and division management are located in Giddings, Texas, San Angelo, Texas, and Celina, Texas.
 
We derive the majority of our operating revenues from day rates or hourly rates charged for the rental of our surface rental and solids control equipment and for services provided by our operators for certain of our skimming and solids control operations. We also generate operating revenues from delivery and rig-up/rig-down services, typically charged at a flat rate per job or an hourly rate, which we provide in conjunction with the rental of our equipment. The price we charge for our services depends on both the level of activity within the geographic area in which we operate and also the competitive environment.
 
Our operating costs do not fluctuate in direct proportion to changes in revenues. Our operating expenses consist of both fixed and variable costs. Although most variable costs are highly correlated with revenues and activity, certain variable costs such as sub-rental equipment expenses and third party trucking expenses can be reduced as a percentage of revenues by our investment in new rental and transportation equipment.

Our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $9.1 million, an increase of 89.4% over $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The Acquired Solids Control Operations contributed $3.0 million in revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The remaining increase in revenues was due to strong demand for our mud circulating tanks and diesel mud pumps, particularly in the Permian Basin where we began operations in the third quarter of 2013, and a significant revenue contribution from the rental of containment systems and stairs, a new product offering in late 2013, for the entire three month period ending June 30, 2014. Our revenues generated from the hauling and set-up of our equipment, which are strongly correlated to our rental revenues, increased by approximately $0.4 million which was in line with the increased rental activity.
 
Our direct costs for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased 71.4% to $4.5 million, or 49.6% of revenues, compared to $2.6 million, or 54.9% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in expense is primarily due to the inclusion of $1.6 million of direct costs from the Acquired Solids Control Operations in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and a significant increase in the cost of third party services, such as sub-rental of equipment, cleaning of equipment, and third party trucking services, in our surface rental equipment business. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we experienced strong demand for our services in the Permian Basin which resulted in both a significant increase in the utilization of our surface rental equipment inventory and our trucks used for hauling equipment and a necessity to use third parties to enable us to serve new and existing customers.
 
Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased 65.8% to $0.9 million compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of $0.2 million of depreciation expense associated with the Acquired Solids Control Operations. In addition, depreciation expense in our surface rental equipment operations increased due to a significantly larger fixed asset base resulting from the aggressive capital expenditure program in 2013 to expand our rental equipment and trucking fleet.
 
Selling, general and administrative expense increased 121.0% to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The $0.7 million increase is primarily due to the inclusion of $0.2 million of expense associated with the Acquired Solids Control Operations, increased payroll expense and related burden attributable to the opening of the San Angelo yard in the third quarter of 2013, and the strengthening of our management and support services infrastructure to enable efficient growth.
 
Corporate expense increased slightly to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and during the three months ended June 30, 2013, we incurred non-recurring expenses of approximately $0.1 million associated with the United Acquisition and the Merger, respectively.
 
Amortization expense increased to approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 due to the increase in intangible assets associated with the United Acquisition.
 
Interest expense and amortization of deferred loan costs increased to approximately $0.3 million and $80,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from approximately $0.1 million and $42,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred loan costs is primarily due to the expansion of our credit facility in April 2014 to finance the United Acquisition.
 
Our income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014, was $0.5 million, or 46.5% of our income before income taxes, compared to income tax expense of approximately $0.2 million, or 74.8% of our income before income taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The significant decrease in our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 is primarily a result of an increase in our income before income taxes as a percentage of revenue which lessens the impact of the revenue-based Texas Franchise Tax on the overall effective tax rate.

Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $14.4 million, an increase of 56.3% over $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Acquired Solids Control Operations contributed $3.0 million in revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The remaining $2.2 million increase in revenues is due to strong demand for our mud circulating tanks and diesel mud pumps, particularly in the Permian Basin where we began operations in the third quarter of 2013, and a significant revenue contribution from the rental of containment systems and stairs, a new product offering in 2013. The revenue contribution from containment systems and stairs was insignificant during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Our revenues generated from the hauling and set-up of our equipment, which are strongly correlated to our rental revenues, increased by approximately $0.9 million in line with the increased surface rental equipment activity.
 
Our direct costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 38.4% to $7.0 million, or 48.5% of revenues, compared to $5.0 million, or 54.7% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of $1.6 million of direct costs from the Acquired Solids Control Operations in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Direct costs in our surface rental equipment business increased primarily due to the cost of third party services used to meet demand and an increase in fuel expense associated with 10 winch trucks delivered in the second and third quarters of 2013. In our surface rental equipment operations, payroll expense increased less quickly than revenues dropping to 22.6% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 25.8% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013, indicating an increase in productivity and efficiency.
 
Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased to $1.6 million compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is due to the inclusion of $0.2 million of depreciation expense associated with the Acquired Solids Control Operations and due to a significantly larger fixed asset base resulting from the aggressive capital expenditure program in our surface rental equipment business in 2013, the impact of which was only partially reflected in the six months ended June 30, 2013.
 
Selling, general and administrative expense increased 77.5% to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of $0.2 million of expense associated with the Acquired Solids Control Operations, increased payroll expense and related burden attributable to the opening of the San Angelo yard in the third quarter of 2013, the strengthening of infrastructure to enable efficient growth, and a non-cash increase in bad debt expense.
 
Corporate expense increased slightly to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Corporate expense includes $0.1 million and $0.3 million of transaction-related non-recurring expenses relating to the United Acquisition for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the Merger for the six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
 
Amortization expense increased to approximately $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to the addition of intangible assets associated with the United Acquisition.
 
Interest expense and amortization of deferred loan costs increased to approximately $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from approximately $0.2 million and $76,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred loan cost is primarily due to the expansion of our credit facility in April 2014 to finance the United Acquisition.
 
Our income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was $0.8 million, or 43.2% of our income before income taxes, compared to income tax expense of approximately $0.3 million, or 38.1% of our income before income taxes, for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The impact of the revenue-based Texas Franchise Tax on the effective tax rate was smaller for the six months ended June 30, 2014 than for the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to improving operating margins.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
We disclose and discuss EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in our public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We define EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure.
 
We view EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, we believe that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to this measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund growth and maintenance capital expenditures. We also believe the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year.
 
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash compensation paid to our executive officers and management; (iii) as a reference point to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) as an assessment of our ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness.
 
In addition, we also make certain adjustments to EBITDA for (i) non-recurring expenses, primarily professional fees related to acquisitions, and (ii) non-cash charges, such as bad debt expense, share-based compensation expense, and the accretion of our liability for contingent payments, to derive a normalized EBITDA run-rate excluding additional non-recurring costs and non-cash expenses, which we believe is a useful measure of operating results and the underlying cash generating capability of our business.
 
The following table provides the detailed components of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as we define that term for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively (in thousands):

Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities.
 
EBITDA does not reflect the future growth and maintenance capital expenditures,
   
EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that we have incurred to finance acquisitions and invest in our fixed asset base,
   
EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that we will eventually have to pay, and
   
EBITDA does not reflect changes in our net working capital position.
 
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement our GAAP results.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our on-going capital requirements arise primarily from our need to acquire equipment in order to increase our existing rental fleet and to expand product and service offerings, to service our debt, and to fund our working capital requirements. Our sources of liquidity have been internal cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit facility, equipment financings, and proceeds from the sale of equity. Future funds are expected to be provided by operating cash flow and, to the extent we determine to do so, the issuance of debt and equity. 

The net cash provided by or used in our operating, investing and financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is summarized below (in thousands):

Operating Activities
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we generated $0.8 million of cash from operating activities. Our net income for the period was $1.0 million. Non-cash additions to net income totaled $2.6 million consisting of $2.1 million of depreciation and amortization, a $0.3 million increase in net deferred tax liability, approximately $57,000 of bad debt expense, and approximately $87,000 of accretion to our liability for contingent payments.
 
 
25

 
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, changes in working capital used $2.8 million in cash. Cash was provided by a net increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.1 million. Cash provided was offset by an increase in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables of approximately $3.2 million, due to an increase in length of time between the issuance of invoices and collecting payment and, to a lesser extent, an increase in revenues, and to a lesser extent, an increase in other current assets, including inventory and prepaid expenses, primarily associated with the Acquired Solids Control Operations.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we generated $2.8 million of cash from operating activities. Our net income for this period was $0.4 million. Non-cash additions to net income totaled $1.2 million consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, changes in working capital provided $1.2 million in cash. Cash was provided by an aggregate increase in accounts payable, accounts payable – affiliate, and accrued expenses of $1.1 million and a slight decrease in prepaid expenses.
 
Investing Activities
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we used $19.0 million in investing activities of which $15.1 million was the cash purchase price, net of cash acquired, associated with the United Acquisition and $4.0 million was related to the purchase or fabrication of capital assets.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we used $7.1 million in investing activities primarily consisting of the purchase or fabrication of capital assets offset slightly by cash obtained in the Merger transaction.
 
Financing Activities
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, financing activities generated $19.5 million of cash. Net borrowings of $13.1 million during the period resulted from the expansion of our credit facility to finance the United Acquisition. We also issued common equity during the period raising $6.8 million in net proceeds through a private placement to accredited investors. Payment of deferred financing costs used $0.4 million of cash during the period.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, financing activities generated $2.8 million in cash, consisting of net borrowings under our credit facility of $2.9 million offset by payment of deferred financing costs of $0.1 million.
 
On April 15, 2014 and in connection with the United Acquisition, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The new agreement increases the size of our credit facility to $30.0 million, consisting of a $25.0 million term loan with a maturity date of April 30, 2017 and a $5.0 million revolving credit facility. The obligations under the agreement are guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The credit agreement contains customary events of default and covenants including restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, make capital expenditures, pay dividends or make other distributions, grant liens and sell assets. The borrowing base for the revolving credit facility is determined monthly based upon our inventory and receivables.

 
26

 
 
Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, at our option, at the base rate or LIBOR. The annual interest rate on each base rate borrowing is (i) the greatest of Wells Fargo’s Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% and the one-month LIBOR rate on such day plus 1.00%, plus (ii) a margin between 2.50% and 3.50% (depending on the then current leverage ratio). The interest rate on each LIBOR loan will be the LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period plus a margin between 3.50% and 4.50% (depending on the then-current leverage ratio).
 
The Company is required to satisfy certain financial and reporting covenants in conjunction with our debt facilities, which include the requirement to maintain (i) a consolidated funded debt to EBITDA ratio of not more than 2.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2014 and 2.50 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter ended on or after September 30, 2014 and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all of our covenants as of June 30, 2014.

Borrowings under the term loan facility are repayable in quarterly principal payments of $1.3 million with a balloon payment of the remaining outstanding borrowings on April 30, 2017. Proceeds of the term loan were used to repay indebtedness of approximately $9.9 million under the previous credit facility and to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the United Acquisition.

At June 30, 2014, there was $23.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the term loan and no borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2014, we had $5.0 million available under the revolving credit facility.
 
The Company leases certain vehicles and equipment, with the intent to purchase, under non-cancelable capital leases. The terms of these leases range from three to five years with varying payment dates throughout each month.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required by smaller reporting companies.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the Company have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are effective as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014 that materially affected, or was reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
