Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2014

 

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations

 

Superior Drilling Products, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) manufactures, repairs and refurbishes drilling bits and tools, and operates as a provider of rental equipment (tools), for use by customers engaged in the domestic and international exploration and production of oil and natural gas. We were incorporated on December 10, 2013, under the name SD Company, Inc., in order to facilitate (a) the reorganization of the entities that are now our consolidated subsidiaries (see Note 2) and (b) the subsequent acquisition of Hard Rock Solutions, LLC (see Note 3). We changed our name from SD Company Inc. to Superior Drilling Products, Inc. on May 22, 2014, in conjunction with closing of that reorganization. Our headquarters and principal manufacturing operations are located in Vernal, Utah.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed and consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, and of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (a) Superior Drilling Solutions, LLC (previously known as Superior Drilling Products, LLC), a Utah limited liability company (“SDS”), together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Superior Drilling Products of California, LLC, a California limited liability company (“SDPC”), (b) Superior Design and Fabrication, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“SDF”), (c) Extreme Technologies, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ET”), (d) Meier Property Series, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“MPS”), (e) Meier Leasing, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ML”), and (f) Hard Rock Solutions, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Hard Rock”). These combined and consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and all significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in combination.

 

As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during its last fiscal year, we qualify as an emerging growth company as defined in the recently enacted Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not an “emerging growth company.”

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

These interim combined and consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related footnote disclosures included herein, are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements, and reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly state the results for such periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year ended December 31, 2014. These interim combined and consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the notes thereto, which were included in the Company’s definitive Prospectus for its initial public offering (the “Offering”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 27, 2014.

 

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted gain per share is calculated to give effect to potentially issuable common shares, which include stock warrants. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had warrants exercisable for 714,286 shares of common stock at $4.00 per share. These warrants have a 4 year term expiring in February 2018. These warrants were anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Rental income

 

Hard Rock operates as a rental tool company of reamer equipment (tools) to oil and gas companies. Revenue is recognized ratably over the lease term. While the duration of the rents vary by job, these rents are generally less than one month. The rental agreements do not have any minimum rental payments or term. The tools are rented primarily to entities operating in North Dakota, but Hard Rock also rents tools to entities operating in Wyoming, Texas, Louisiana, Montana, Oklahoma, Utah, and Colorado.

  

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes an asset or liability for the deferred tax consequences of all temporary differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the asset or liabilities are recovered or settled and for operating loss carry forwards. These deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse and the carry forwards are expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability and a valuation allowance is provided as necessary.

 

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." The ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impacts of the new standard on its existing stock-based compensation plans.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity's nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity," which amends the definition of a discontinued operation by raising the threshold for a disposal to qualify as discontinued operations. The ASU will also require entities to provide additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The pronouncement is effective prospectively for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) of components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 2. CORPORATE REORGANIZATION

 

On the date of inception of December 10, 2013, a stock subscription was received for 1,000 shares of $0.001 par value common shares from the founders.

 

On May 22, 2014, we closed the reorganization of SDS, SDPC, SDF, ET, MPS, and ML into wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company under the terms of an agreement and plan of reorganization, dated December 15, 2013 (the “Reorganization”). In exchange for their ownership interest in those entities, the founders received 8,813,860 shares of our common stock, in addition to the initial 1,000 shares. Each of the subsidiaries is considered to be the historical accounting predecessor for financial statement reporting purposes. See Note 10 for further discussion of the income tax impact of Reorganization.

 

On May 29, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering of common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File 333-195085), as amended and declared effective by the SEC on May 22, 2014 (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the registration statement, the Company registered the offer and sale of 7,762,500 shares of $0.01 par value common stock, which included 1,012,500 shares of common stock pursuant to an option granted to the underwriters to cover over-allotments. The Company’s sale of the shares in the Offering closed on May 29, 2014.

 

The proceeds of the Offering, based on the public offering price of $4.00 per share, were approximately $31.05 million. After subtracting underwriting discounts and commissions of $2.4 million, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $28.7 million from the offering. The Company used $12.5 million of the net proceeds to acquire Hard Rock (See Note 3).

 

The Naples property loan was used by a now-defunct limited liability company in which Troy Meier was an investor to purchase approximately 11 unimproved acres in Naples, Utah for a now-terminated property development venture. When the venture failed, the Company took title to the property and assumed this loan. This loan was secured by the purchased property. This loan, with the principal balance of approximately $1.7 million was eliminated through distribution of the property to, and assumption of this loan by, the founders before effectiveness of the Offering. The raw land loan was used to purchase approximately 47 unimproved acres in Vernal, Utah that is contiguous to the Meier’s residence for approximately $0.7 million. This loan was secured by the purchased property. This loan, with the principal balance of approximately $0.3 million, was eliminated through distribution of the property before effectiveness of this Offering. The land holdings being held as collateral under the Naples property loan and the raw land loan were also distributed at historical cost totaling approximately $2.1 million.

 

 

Upon closing of the Offering, the Company created an obligation to the founders, Meier Family Holding, LLC and Meier Management Company in the amounts of $1,280,000 and $720,000, respectively, as additional consideration for the Reorganization. The obligations are required to be paid by the Company on or before January 2, 2015. Until repayment, the obligation accrues interest at the Prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank plus 0.25%. As of May 29 and June 30, 2014 the JP Morgan prime rate was 3.25%.

 

Upon closing of the Offering, the Company’s $2 million bridge loan automatically converted into 714,286 shares of our common stock, and a four-year warrant to purchase an equivalent number of shares of our common stock at $4.00 per share. The conversion feature and detachable warrants qualified as a derivative liability at inception and recorded at fair value totaling $1.9 million. Upon conversion, the detachable warrant was recognized in additional paid in capital at fair value totaling $1.1 million. Fair value was determined using a Black-Scholes option model with level 3 fair value inputs as follows:

 

Strike price per share		$	4.00
Market price per share		$	4.00
Volatility			47.3	%
Term Risk-free rate			4 years 0.69	%

 

NOTE 3. HARD ROCK ACQUISITION

 

Immediately upon closing the Offering, the Company used a portion of the Offering proceeds to fund the purchase of all the interests of Hard Rock from its parent entity, Hard Rock Solutions, Inc. (“HR”) under the terms of a membership interest purchase agreement dated January 28, 2014. Closing of the Hard Rock acquisition occurred on May 29, 2014.

 

Hard Rock operates as a rental tool company of reamer equipment (tools) to oil and gas companies. While the duration of the rents vary by job, these rents are generally less than one month. The tools are rented primarily to entities operating in North Dakota, but Hard Rock also rents tools to entities operating in Wyoming, Texas, Louisiana, Montana, Oklahoma, Utah, and Colorado. Before our acquisition of Hard Rock on May 29, 2014, we received revenue from HR for manufacturing and repairing the reamers, and the reamer royalty income upon rental of the tool.

 

The Hard Rock acquisition has been treated as a business acquisition since the Company acquired substantially all the operating assets of HR. The majority of the purchase price was assigned to intangible assets, which consist of developed technology, customer contracts and relationships, trade names and trademarks and goodwill. The intangible assets will be amortized over the following lives:

 

Intangible Assets		Live
Developed technology		7 Years
Customer contracts and relationships		5 Years
Trade names and trademarks		9 Years

 

Consideration consisted of $12.5 million paid at closing of the Offering and a $12.5 million seller’s note (the “Hard Rock Note”). The fair value of the seller’s note was determined to be $11,144,000 which is less than the face value due to a below-market interest rate based on the JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. annual prime rate, or 3.25% per annum as of May 29, 2014 and June 30, 2014. Fair value was estimated based on the present value of future cash flows at a market-assumed rate. The fair value of the assets acquired and the seller’s note’s as follows:

 

 

Estimated fair value of assets acquired:
Rental tools		$	1,540,000
Prepaid expenses			9,000
Fixed assets and equipment			100,000
Intangible assets:
Developed technology			7,000,000
Customer contracts and relationships .			6,400,000
Trade names and trademarks			1,500,000
Goodwill			7,095,000
Total intangible assets			23,644,000
Consideration paid and liabilities assumed:
Cash paid at closing			12,500,000
Note payable			12,500,000
Discount on note payable			(1,356,000	)
		$	23,644,000

 

Based on the estimated fair value of the intangible assets and their useful lives, the amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.2 million.

 

Acquisition Related Costs

 

Acquisition-related transaction costs consisted of various advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and professionals or consulting fees totaling $62,480 and $646,306, respectively for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014. These cost were expensed as incurred and included in general administrative expense on our consolidated condensed statement of operations.

 

Supplemental Pro forma Results

 

Hard Rocks’ results of operations have been included in our financial statements for periods subsequent to May 29, 2014, the effective date of the Hard Rock Acquisition. Hard Rock contributed revenues of $0.7 million to the Company for the period from the closing of the Hard Rock Acquisition (May 29, 2014) through June 30, 2014.

 

The following unaudited supplemental pro forma results present consolidated information for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as if the Hard Rock Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2013. The pro forma results have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and include, among others, (i) the amortization associated with the fair value of the acquired intangible assets, (ii) interest expense associated with the term loan issued to fund the Hard Rock Acquisition and (iii) the impact of certain fair value adjustments such as a the debt discount. The pro forma results do not include any potential synergies, non-recurring charges which result directly from the Hard Rock Acquisition, cost savings or other expected benefits of the Hard Rock Acquisition. The pro forma financial information does not necessarily represent what would have occurred if the transaction had taken place at the beginning of the period presented and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations. We have not concluded our integration work. Accordingly, this pro forma information does not include all costs related to the integration nor the benefits we expect to realize from operating synergies.

The Hard Rock purchase price was $25 million, consisting of $12.5 million paid in cash at closing out of the proceeds of Offering, and a seller-carried promissory note for $12.5 million (the “Hard Rock Note”). The Hard Rock Note matures on May 30, 2017, and accrues interest at the JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. annual prime rate. Under the terms of the Hard Rock Note, we will pay two annual principal installments of $5 million plus accrued interest and one final payment of $2.5 million plus interest, on each subsequent anniversary date of the Hard Rock Note date. The Hard Rock Note is secured by all of the patents, patents pending, other patent rights, and trademarks transferred to Hard Rock by HR in the closing of the transaction. At issuance, the fair value of the seller’s note was determined to be $11,144,000, which is less than the face value due to a below-market interest rate based on the JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. annual prime rate, or 3.25% per annum as of May 29, 2014 and June 30, 2014. The resulting discount will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.

 

On February 24, 2014, we closed a $2 million bridge loan with a private lender. Effective as of closing of the Offering, the bridge loan automatically converted into 714,286 shares of our restricted common stock, and a four-year warrant to purchase an equivalent number of shares of our common stock at $4.00 per share. As the result of that conversion, the bridge loan is deemed paid in full.

 

During March 2014, the Company paid off a real estate line of credit with America Bank of North for approximately $388,000 and a machinery loan with a private capital group for approximately $391,000.

 

NOTE 7. NOTE RECEIVABLE

 

In January 2014, we entered into a Note Purchase and Sale Agreement under which we agreed to purchase a loan made to Tronco Energy Corporation (“Tronco”), a party related through common control, in order to take over the legal position as Tronco’s senior secured lender. That agreement provided that, upon our full repayment of the Tronco loan from the proceeds of the Offering, the lender would assign to us all of its rights under the Tronco loan, including all of the collateral documents. On May 30, 2014, we closed our purchase of the Tronco loan for a total payoff of $8.3 million, including principal, interest, and early termination fees. As a result of that purchase, we became Tronco’s senior secured lender, entitled to receive all proceeds from sales of the Tronco-owned collateral, as discussed below.

 

As the result of our purchase of the Tronco loan, we have the direct legal right to enforce the collateral and guaranty agreements and to collect Tronco’s collateral sales proceeds, in order to recover the loan purchase amount. The Tronco loan continues to be secured by the first position liens on all of Tronco assets, as well as by the guarantees of Troy and Annette Meiers (the “Meier Guaranties”), which are directly payable to and be legally enforceable by us. In addition, the Meiers have provided us with stock pledges in which they pledge all of their shares of common stock held by their family entities (“Meier Stock Pledge”), as collateral for the Meiers’ guaranties until full repayment of Tronco loan. The certificates representing the 8,814,860 pledged shares are being held in third-party escrow until full repayment of the Tronco Loan. The pledged shares will be tradable in the public market 180 days after the Offering, subject to insider timing requirements and volume limitations under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and required periodic black-out periods. At a $6.51 per share price at closing of the NYSE MKT on June 30, 2014, the pledged shares would currently have a market value of over $50 million, significantly more than necessary to repay the Tronco loan, even if no Tronco assets were sold.

 

 

The acquisition of the Tronco note resulted in the elimination of the $4.4 million guaranteed debt obligation, and recognizes a note receivable of $8,296,717, at June 30, 2014. Based on the combined collateral value of the Tronco assets and of the Meier Stock Pledge, we have determined that there is no risk of loss to us in connection with Tronco loan. Accordingly, we have eliminated the guarantee liability and recorded the entire net realizable value of the Tronco loan as an asset in the balance sheet for the period ended June 30, 2014.

 

Previously, the Tronco loan had been scheduled to mature in January 2014. On December 18, 2013, it was amended to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2014, in exchange for a one-time payment of $68,881. The maturity date was further extendable, at Tronco’s election, for three additional six month periods upon payment of additional extension fees. On June 29, 2014, the independent members of our Board of Directors approved an extension of the June 30, 2014 payment date to July 31, 2014, to permit consideration of a loan restructuring to be approved by our independent board members under terms no less favorable to us than could be negotiated with a third party at “arm’s length”. Any renewal will continue to be secured by the Meier Guaranties and the Meier Stock Pledge.

 

During July 2014, the Board of Directors agreed to restructure the Tronco note effective May 29, 2014. As part of this restructuring the interest rate was decreased to the Prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank plus 0.25%. As of May 29 and June 30, 2014 the JP Morgan prime rate was 3.25%. The payment requirements and schedule were also changed with the restructuring. Only interest is due on December 31, 2014 and, a balloon payment of all unpaid interest and principal is due in full at maturity on December 31, 2015. Consideration for the restructuring of the note included the fact that the Meier’s have provided their 8,814,860 shares of common stock in the Company as collateral, which is the equivalent of over $50 million as of June 30, 2014.

 

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

We are subject to litigation that arises from time to time in the ordinary course of our business activities. We are not currently involved in any litigation which management believes could have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations, except as follows:

 

In October 2013, Del-Rio Resources, Inc. (“Del-Rio”) filed suit, on its own behalf and derivatively on behalf of Philco Exploration, LLC, against the following co-defendants (a) Tronco Ohio, LLC (“TO”) and Tronco Energy Corporation (“Tronco”), (b) the lender on the Tronco loan, ACF Property Management, Inc. (p.k.a. Fortuna Asset Management, LLC, ) (“ACF”), (c) Troy and Annette Meiers personally, and several of their family trusts, (d) Meier Family Holding Company, LLC and Meier Management Company, LLC, and (e) SDS and MPS. That suit is currently pending in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Uintah County, Utah under Cause #130800125.

 

Tronco and Del-Rio are the sole owners and managers of Philco Exploration, LLC (“Philco”). Philco served as the exploration operator. Part of the collateral for the Tronco loan is Philco’s mineral leases. Del- Rio’s suit alleges that the defendants made amendments to the Tronco loan without complying with the voting provisions of Philco’s operating agreement, and that all of the Meier-related entities somehow benefitted from the Tronco loan proceeds, in an unspecified manner. Del-Rio’s suit seeks to invalidate ACF’s deeds of trust on the Philco mineral leases, and to quiet title to those leases in Philco. Del Rio is also requesting monetary and punitive damages, disgorgement, prejudgment interest, post judgment interest, costs, and attorney fees, against all defendants, in an amount to be determined at trial.

 

 

We believe that Del-Rio’s claims are without merit, and all defendants are actively defending in this matter. In particular, SDS’ and MPS’ only involvement was to grant guaranties and/or security interests in their respective separate personal and real property to ACF to additionally collateralize the Tronco loan before its purchase by us. In addition, since the Meiers’ and their personal trusts guaranty repayment of the Tronco loan, we believe that the basis of Del-Rio’s damages claims are nullified. Consequently, we do not believe that Del Rio’s purported claims against SDS and MPS will have any material adverse effect on our cash flow, business, or operations.

 

NOTE 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company leases certain of its facilities to Superior Auto Body (“SAB”), a related party. We recorded rental income from the related party in the amounts of $43,569 and $39,466, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

The founders previously owned an equity interest in Uintah Steel & Alloy, LLC (“Uintah”). From time to time Uintah has purchased and distributed steel on behalf of the Company and other companies. Prior to the reorganization on May 29, 2014, Uintah ceased operations and the founders contributed all steel inventory purchased by it that was designated for the Company to the Company, at historical costs totaling an aggregate of approximately $0.6 million. Since that time, the Company has purchased all of its steel requirements directly from unrelated suppliers and no longer does business with Uintah.

 

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES

 

Prior to its corporate reorganization (See Note 2), the Company was a limited liability company and not subject to federal income tax or state income tax (in most states). Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes was recorded prior to the Reorganization as the Company’s equity holders were responsible for income tax on the Company’s profits. In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company merged into a corporation and became subject to federal and state income taxes. The Company’s book and tax basis in assets and liabilities differed at the time of the Reorganization due primarily to different cost depreciation methods utilized for book and tax purposes for the Company’s fixed assets. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a net deferred tax expense of $1 million to recognize a deferred tax liability related to the Company’s initial book and tax basis differences due to its change in tax status.

 

Components of the provision for income taxes for the six months ending June 30, 2014:

 

Current income taxes:		For the Six Months Ending June 30, 2014
Federal		$	87,218
State			13,501

Overview

 

Superior Drilling Products, Inc. is a drilling tool technology company. We manufacture, repair, sell and rent drilling tools. All of the drilling tools that we rent are manufactured by us. Currently, we have one product in our rental line which is the Drill N Ream, which we acquired in conjunction with our Initial Public Offering in May 2014 (the “Offering”). We also serve a major customer for whom we exclusively refurbish and manufacture PDC (polycrystalline diamond compact) drill bits for the oil & gas exploration and production industry.

 

 

We were incorporated as a Utah corporation in December 2013, and in connection with the completion of the Offering, we completed a reorganization in which we acquired all of the outstanding limited liability company membership interests of Superior Drilling Solutions, LLC (“SDS”), Superior Design and Fabrication, LLC (“SDF”), Extreme Technologies LLC (“ET”), Meier Properties Series, LLC (“MPS”), and Meier Leasing, LLC (“ML”) (the “Reorganization”), and, after its acquisition in May 2014, Hard Rock Solutions, LLC (“Hard Rock”). As a result, we are the holding company under which all six of those subsidiaries conduct ongoing operations. Prior to the acquisition of Hard Rock and the Drill N Ream tool on May 29, 2014, we received revenue from Hard Rock Solutions, Inc. (“HR”) for the manufacturing of the tool and royalties based on HR’s rental income.

 

Our largest customer is Baker Hughes, for whom we exclusively refurbish and manufacture PDC drill bits for the oil and gas exploration and production industry. Our agreement with Baker Hughes precludes us from performing work for other companies specifically relating to manufacturing or other services relating specifically to PDC drill bits used in the oil, gas, water and geothermal drilling industries.

 

We are diversifying our customer base by developing a larger set of product offerings that we can rent and in some instances sell. With the addition of the Drill N Ream tool through our acquisition of Hard Rock, we have broadened our customer base measurably. We manufacture, rent and repair the Drill N Ream tool. We expect to build a larger line of products that we believe we can deliver to our customers using the sales force and logistics infrastructure we are establishing for the Drill N Ream tool. In addition, because of our high precision, specialized engineering and design capabilities, we are adding oil and gas industry customers that are looking for custom manufacturers that can provide high quality, quick delivery, custom designed and manufactured products.

 

Key Market Trends and Developments

 

Advent of horizontal drilling requires new technologies.  The oil and gas industry is increasingly using directional (e.g., horizontal) drilling in their exploration and production activities because of measurably improved recovery rates that can be achieved with these methods. With the rise of this type of drilling, traditional drill string tools used for vertical drilling do not necessarily provide the best performance or are not well suited for directional drilling. We believe that with our extensive knowledge and experience in the oilfield industry we can identify these challenges and design and develop tools that will help our customers with their drilling challenges. Further development of other drill bit and drill string components, such as our Drill N Ream tool, will become increasingly important to our business as we continue to grow through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions.

 

 

We believe that our Drill N Ream tool is ideally suited for horizontal drilling activity. In addition, we are developing additional technologies to take advantage of the oil and gas industry’s significant shift to horizontal drilling and its resulting substantial need for new horizontal drill string tools and technology.

 

Customer Diversification. With our acquisition of Hard Rock in May 2014, which provided us the Drill N Ream technology, the rental customers already employing the Drill N Ream tool became our direct customers. By increasing our capabilities and directly renting products to our customers, we have diversified our customer base and sources of revenue.

 

Components of Income and Expense

 

Operating Revenue.  We generate revenue from the refurbishment, manufacturing, repair and rentals of drill string tools. As noted earlier, prior to the acquisition of Hard Rock and the Drill N Ream tool on May 29, 2014, we received revenue from HR for the manufacturing of the tool and royalties based on HR’s rental income.

 

Manufacturing.   Our manufactured products are produced in a standard manufacturing operation, even when produced to our customer’s specifications.

 

º     Drill Bits.  Since 1996, we have refurbished PDC drill bits for Baker Hughes. We are currently operating under a recently renewed four-year Vendor Agreement. We recognize revenue for our PDC drill bit services at the time that the services are rendered, typically upon shipment of the drill bit. We also design and manufacture new PDC drill bits for Baker Hughes on an ongoing purchase order basis. Baker Hughes pays an approximate prevailing market rate for these new bits. By contract, we can only refurbish and manufacture oil or gas drill bits for Baker Hughes, but we are not contractually prohibited from manufacturing drill bits for the mining industry.

 

º     Drill N Ream Units.  Prior to the acquisition of Hard Rock, HR would place orders for Drill N Ream units from us upon receiving a customer request, and we would sell the ordered Drill N Ream units to them at prevailing market prices. In addition, HR would pay us royalties equal to 25% of their tool rental revenue, less certain HR operating expenses. These royalty revenues are included in the first five months of revenue for 2014. Upon our acquisition of Hard Rock, this arrangement ceased. Now we incur the entire cost of manufacturing the Drill N Ream units, however, we also own those Drill N Ream units, and collect 100% of the total rental income paid by customers under existing and future Drill N Ream rental service agreements.

 

º     Other Machined Tools.  We also design and manufacture other new tools and component parts for other oil and gas industry participants from time to time. We recognize revenue for manufacture of other machined tools and parts upon their shipment to the customer. Shipping and handling costs related to product sales are recorded gross as a component of both the sales price and cost of the product sold.

 

Rental Tools. We provide rental tool services for our customers. We currently have the Drill N Ream available for rent to our customers. Rental includes delivery to customers’ drill rig operations and replacement of tools when in need of repair.

 

See also “— Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — Revenue Recognition.”

 

Cost of Revenue.  We expense direct costs of production when incurred. Direct costs for manufacturing, refurbishment and repair consist primarily of labor, materials and cutting tools. Also, included in the production costs of the business are manufacturing overhead, engineering and development expenses, depreciation and amortization.

 

Operating Expenses.  We expense operating costs when incurred. Operating expenses include the costs of the support staff, management and administrative personnel costs, payroll taxes, employee benefits for all of our employees and the portion of salaries and wages not allocated to direct costs of manufacturing revenue. Operating expenses include the costs associated with rental tools. Included in these costs are materials and supplies, sales and marketing, depreciation and amortization associated with the tooling, interest expenses and other costs associated with rental tools. Operating expenses also include professional services, legal and accounting fees and administrative operating costs.

 

 

Factors Affecting Comparability

 

We believe that the following selected factors can be expected to have a significant effect on the comparability of our recent or future results of operations:

 

Reorganization.

 

In connection with the closing of the Offering in May 2014, we completed a reorganization transaction in which we acquired all of the limited liability company membership interests of SDS, SDF, ET, MPS and ML and, as a result, became the holding company under which those subsidiaries conduct operations. Each of the subsidiaries is considered to be a historical accounting predecessor for financial statement reporting purposes.

 

Hard Rock Acquisition.

 

In May 2014, we purchased 100% of the limited liability company membership interests of Hard Rock, HR’s subsidiary, pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement with HR (“MIPA”). HR began operations in 2001 and has been marketing and renting the Drill N Ream tool since 2011. The Hard Rock purchase price was $25 million, consisting of $12.5 million in cash at closing, and a seller-carried promissory note for $12.5 million (the “Hard Rock Note”). The Hard Rock Note will mature three years from May 30, 2014, and accrues interest at the JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. annual prime rate plus 0.25%. Under the terms of the Hard Rock Note, we will pay annual principal installments of $5 million plus interest on each anniversary date of May 30, 2015 and 2016. One final payment of $2.5 million plus interest will be paid on May 30, 2017. The Hard Rock Note is secured by all of the patents, patents pending, other patent rights, and trademarks to be owned by Hard Rock after our acquisition of Hard Rock under the MIPA. After the acquisition, Hard Rock continues to conduct its operations as our wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

Public Company Expenses.

 

Upon consummation of the Offering, we became a public company. Our common stock is listed on the NYSE MKT. As a result, we need to comply with laws, regulations, and requirements that we did not need to comply with as a private company, including certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related SEC regulations, and we need to comply with the requirements of NYSE MKT. Compliance with the requirements of being a public company will increase our operating expenses in order to pay our employees, legal counsel, and accountants to assist us in, among other things, external reporting, instituting, and monitoring a more comprehensive compliance and board governance function, establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and preparing and distributing periodic public reports in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws. In addition, being a public company will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. We estimate that incremental annual public company costs will be between $0.5 million and $1 million.

 

Stock-Based Compensation.

 

On March 31, 2014, our Board of Directors approved our 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (“Employee Plan”) in connection with the completion of the Offering. A total of 1,552,905 shares of common stock are authorized and reserved for issuance under the Employee Plan. We adopted a Director Equity Compensation Plan (“Director Plan”) after the closing of the Offering that reserves 171,223 shares of common stock for issuance. Equity and equity-based compensation plans are intended to make available incentives that will assist us in attracting, retaining, and motivating employees, officers, consultants, and directors by allowing them to acquire an ownership interest in our business, and, as a result, encouraging them to contribute to our success. We may provide these incentives through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and units, and other cash-based or stock-based awards. As a result, we expect to incur non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses in future periods. No equity awards have been granted under any plan as of June 30, 2014.

 

 

Additional Compensation Expenses.

 

Upon completion of the Offering, we have hired and intend to continue to hire (a) additional financial and accounting personnel in connection with our change in status to a publicly traded company, and (b) additional sales and marketing professionals in connection with our acquisition of Hard Rock, in order to market the Drill N Ream tool and our other pending drill string tools. Accordingly, we expect compensation expenses, as reflected in operating expenses, will be higher in future periods.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following table represents our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the periods indicated:

Material changes of certain items in our statements of operations included in our financial statements for the comparative periods are discussed below.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013

 

Revenue.  Our revenue increased approximately $1,504,000 or 51%, during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. The increase was due to manufacturing, refurbishment and repair revenue growing by approximately $1,169,000, due to increase demand. Also, Drill N Ream royalties decreased approximately $359,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period June 30, 2013, due to only recording royalties during April and May, 2014. On May 29, 2014, Hard Rock was purchased and no further royalty will be collected, but will be replaced with rental tool income. For the month of June, 2014 that revenue was approximately $693,000.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses.  During the three months ended June 30, 2014, our operating cost and expenses increased approximately $1,494,000, or 71%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. This increase was due to increased depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $553,000 from the Hard Rock Acquisition. Also, SG&A increased approximately $832,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is mainly due to added expenses from new hires and added salaries due to the growth and the acquisition of Hard Rock during the three months ended June 30, 2014. We have also increased legal, audit, accounting and consulting fees as a result of becoming a public company.

 

 

Other Income (Expenses).  Other income and expense primarily consists of lease payments, interest income and interest expense. Lease payments are received from three real property leases: one lease of a building in our Vernal campus, the second for lease of the SAB facilities by a related party, and the third for the property in Bakersfield, CA. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, lease payments increased by approximately $34,000 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to increased monthly rent from the Vernal campus property. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was approximately $23,000 and $0, respectively, which was from the Tronco note receivable. The interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was approximately $579,000 and $108,000, respectively, which increase was mainly due to bringing on added debt due to the acquisition of Hard Rock and interest expense from the bridge loan.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013

 

Revenue.  Our revenue increased approximately $2,405,000 or 29%, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. The increase is due to manufacturing and refurbishing revenues growing by $2,264,000, due to increased demand and production. Drill N Ream rent royalties decreased approximately $552,000 during the six months ended at June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period at 2013, due to only recording rent royalties during January through May, 2014. On May 29, 2014, Hard Rock was purchased and no further royalty rent will be collected, but will be replaced with rental tool income. For the month of June, 2014 that revenue was approximately $693,000.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our operating costs and expenses increased approximately $2,249,000, or 63%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in our direct costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to the continuing increased demand for our refurbishing and manufacturing services. Payroll costs have increased by approximately $512,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, which was mainly due to new hires in sales and marketing, administrative employees and an overall increase in payroll. Also, professional fees increased by approximately $848,000 due to an increase in legal, audit, accounting and consulting fees associated with the process of becoming a public company. Also, depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $575,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013.

 

Other Income (Expenses).  Other income and expense primarily consists of lease payments, interest income and interest expense. Lease payments are received from three real property leases: one lease of a building in our Vernal campus, the second for lease of the SAB facilities, and the third for the property in Bakersfield, CA. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, lease payment increased by approximately $46,000 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to increased monthly rent from the Vernal campus property. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was approximately $23,000 and $0, respectively, which was from the Tronco note receivable. The interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was approximately $889,000 and $364,000, respectively, which increase was mainly due to bringing on added debt due to the acquisition of Hard Rock and interest expense from the bridge loan.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flow from operations, and access to financial markets. Our principal uses of cash are operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and repayment of debt. We believe that our sources of liquidity, including cash flow from operations, existing cash, and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our projected cash requirements for at least the next 12 months, including (a) the increased operating expenses of legal, audit and accounting we expect to incur in connection with being a public company, (b) the increased operating expenses associated with the additional financial and operating personnel we have hired or will hire in connection with our growth and addition of Hard Rock, (c) our debt obligation of approximately $2 million to our founders and (d) our debt payments required due to the acquisition of Hard Rock. We will monitor our capital requirements to ensure our needs are in line with available capital resources.

 

 

The aggregate outstanding balance of our notes payable as of June 30, 2014 was approximately $24 million (see detail below) with interest rates ranging from 0% to 8.4%.

 

Long-term debt is comprised of the following:

 

		June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
Real estate loans		$	8,059,146			$	10,370,508
Hard Rock Note net of $1,280,667 discount			11,219,333				-
EB-5 business loans			1,780,638				1,797,178
Machinery loans			1,093,136				1,496,710
Transportation loans			621,772				591,398
			22,774,025				14,255,794
Current portion of long-term debt			(5,773,832	)			(3,316,578	)
		$	17,000,193			$	10,939,216

 

Management believes that through current and planned operations the Company should be able to meet all of its debt payment and requirements. In the event we not able to meet these obligations, we may need to raise additional capital through equity and debt financing to support our operations and for our corporate general and administrative expenses. Although as a public company we now have access to the public markets for capital raises, we cannot provide any assurance that any financing will be available to us in the future on acceptable terms or at all. If we cannot raise required funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things, (i) maintain our general and administrative expenses at current levels; (ii) fund certain obligations as they become due; and (iii) respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated capital requirements.

 

Cash Flow

 

Operating Cash Flows

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by our operating activities was approximately $2,736,000. The Company had approximately $186,000 in net income, approximately $606,000 increase in accounts receivable, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $1,268,000 and depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $1,044,000.

 

Investing Cash Flows

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2104, net cash used in our investing activities was approximately $21,226,000, which was used as part of the Hard Rock acquisition.

 

Financing Cash Flows

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided in financing activities was approximately $26,206,000, primarily attributable to proceeds from issuance of the Company’s common stock, which was approximately $31,050,000. Costs of the Offering were approximately $3,579,000 and cash used for financing activities was for payments on long-term debt and long-term lease obligations of approximately $1,211,000.

 

Trends and Outlook for the Company

 

We believe the following trends will positively affect the oilfield drilling industry, and consequently the demand for our products in the coming years.

 

 

Increase in global demand for crude oil and natural gas. The oil and natural gas industry has continued to see a global increase in consumption caused by increase demand worldwide, but mainly in China, India and other developing countries. Due to this increase in demand and new technologies, the US has increased its oil and gas production over the last few years. This has caused an increase in current drilling activity, especially using directional drilling technology, for exploration and production. This increase in demand and resulting increase in exploration and production activity has caused an increase demand for our products.

 

Significant new well development. The International Energy Agency estimates that in order to overcome the decline of existing production due to older wells, new production of approximately 40 million barrels of oil per day must be added by 2035. A significant number of new wells will be required to make up for the declines in production of existing oil fields and projected increase in global oil demand.

 

New technologies and techniques. As conventional sources of oil and gas are depleted, the oil and gas industry continue to develop new technologies and techniques. Certain of these techniques include drilling deeper vertical depths, and longer lateral lengths for horizontal paths and multi-stage completion.

 

We believe that all the above trends provide growth opportunities for our Company. The specialized drilling tools required to drill deeper and horizontal wells are some of those being manufactured by us. However, demand for our products and services will depend on the level of activities in the oil and gas industry, which is significantly impacted by volatile oil and gas prices, cost of equipment, regulatory matters as well as other factors. We also have a small number of customers, and may experience difficulty in expanding our customer base.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. During the preparation of these financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those discussed below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of our analysis form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. While we believe that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated condensed financial statements are appropriate, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to our consolidated condensed financial statements. Our estimates and assumptions are evaluated periodically and adjusted when necessary. The more significant estimates affecting amounts reported in our combined and consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to: determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives used in calculating depreciation and amortization, and accounting for the Hard Rock Acquisition.

 

Revenue Recognition.

 

Refurbishing — Refurbishing services are performed in our facilities for a customer under a Vendor Agreement. Under the Vendor Agreement, revenue is determined based on a standard hourly rate to complete the work. Revenue for refurbishing services is recognized as the services are rendered and upon shipment to the customer. Shipping and handling costs related to refurbishing services are paid directly by the customer at the time of shipment.

 

Manufacturing — Revenue from manufactured products are sold at prevailing market rates. We recognize revenue for these products upon delivery, when title passes, when collectability is reasonably assured and when there are no further significant obligations for future performance. Typically this is at the time of customer acceptance. Shipping and handling costs related to product sales are recorded as a component of both the sales price and cost of the product sold.

 

Rental income — Hard Rock operates as a rental tool company of reamer equipment (tools) to oil and gas companies. Revenue is recognized ratably over the lease term. While the duration of the rents vary by job, these rents are generally less than one month. The rental agreements do not have any minimum rental payments or term. The tools are rented primarily to entities operating in North Dakota, but Hard Rock also rents tools to entities operating in Wyoming, Texas, Louisiana, Montana, Oklahoma, Utah, and Colorado.

 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk - Historically substantially all of our revenues were derived from our refurbishing of PDC drill bits and our manufacturing of the Drill N Ream units. However, after our acquisition of Hard Rock, our historical HR revenues and accounts receivable percentages are now spread out among our current customers and Hard Rock’s customers. In the past we have been dependent on just a few main customers, however, we believe that our purchase of Hard Rock and continuing growth of our new manufacturing business will have a positive effect on diversifying our concentration of credit risk in the future.

 

Accounts Receivable; Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Accounts receivable are generally due within 60 days of the invoice date. No interest is charged on past-due balances. We grant credit to our customers based upon an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition. We periodically monitor the payment history and ongoing creditworthiness of our customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established at a level estimated by management to be adequate based upon various factors including historical experience, aging status of customer accounts, payment history and financial condition of our customers. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, management determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary due to our expectation that the Company will collect all amounts owed.

 

Goodwill and Related Intangible Assets.  Goodwill is the excess cost of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. We did not recognize any goodwill as the result of the Reorganization. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from our purchase of Hard Rock, we hired an outside third party to perform an assessment to determine the fair value of Hard Rock’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities and Goodwill was allocated to be $7,095,000. The Company reviewed the value of Goodwill as of June 30, 2014 and determined no impairment was needed. The same procedure will be followed for any future acquisitions. Annually, and more often as necessary, we will perform an evaluation of our intangible assets and goodwill for indications of impairment. If indications exist, we will perform an assessment of the fair value of the intangible assets and the goodwill and if necessary, record an impairment charge.

 

Income Taxes.  Upon closing of the Offering, we became a C-corporation for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. Accordingly, as of that date, and after our Reorganization we continue to be subject to federal and state income taxes, which may affect future operating results and cash flows. As of June 30, 2014, we estimated a net deferred tax liability of approximately $1 million will be established for differences between the book and tax basis of our assets and liabilities. Upon closing of the Offering, the deferred tax liability resulted in a corresponding expense recorded to net income from operations.

 

Tronco Loan Guaranty. See the discussion of the Tronco loan in Notes 7 and 8 to our consolidated condensed financial statements 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2014.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in our interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. During the course of our assessment, management identified the following material weaknesses:

 

·

Lack of sufficient accounting expertise to appropriately apply GAAP for complex and non-recurring transactions;

·

Lack of financial reporting ability to adequately prepare financial statements and disclosures.

·

Lack of segregation of duties surrounding the cash disbursements process.

·

Lack of sufficient inventory controls to properly prevent or detect errors.

 

To remediate these issues, our management intends to retain the services of additional third party accounting personnel as well as to modify existing disclosure controls and procedures in a manner designed to ensure future compliance. Our management currently believes the additional accounting resources will remediate the weakness with respect to insufficient personnel.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report, other than those described below, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

Internal Controls and Procedures

 

We are not currently required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. As a public company, we are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires our management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and we will be required to provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We will not be required to make our first assessment of our internal control over financial reporting until the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC.

 

Further, our independent registered public accounting firm is not yet required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and will not be required to do so for as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act.

 

PART II

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are subject to litigation that arises from time to time in the ordinary course of our business activities. We are not currently involved in any litigation which management believes could have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations, except as follows:

 

In October 2013, Del-Rio Resources, Inc. (“Del-Rio”) filed suit, on its own behalf and derivatively on behalf of Philco Exploration, LLC, against the following co-defendants (a) Tronco Ohio, LLC (“TO”) and Tronco Energy Corporation (“Tronco”), (b) the lender on the Tronco loan, ACF Property Management, Inc. (p.k.a. Fortuna Asset Management, LLC, ) (“ACF”), (c) the Meiers personally, and several of their family trusts, (d) Meier Family Holding Company, LLC and Meier Management Company, LLC, and (e) SDS and MPS. That suit is currently pending in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Uintah County, Utah under Cause #130800125.

 

Tronco and Del-Rio are the sole owners and managers of Philco Exploration, LLC (“Philco”). Philco served as the exploration operator. Part of the collateral for the Tronco loan is Philco’s mineral leases. Del- Rio’s suit alleges that the defendants made amendments to the Tronco loan without complying with the voting provisions of Philco’s operating agreement, and that all of the Meier-related entities somehow benefitted from the Tronco loan proceeds, in an unspecified manner. Del-Rio’s suit seeks to invalidate ACF’s deeds of trust on the Philco mineral leases, and to quiet title to those leases in Philco. Del Rio is also requesting monetary and punitive damages, disgorgement, prejudgment interest, post judgment interest, costs, and attorney fees, against all defendants, in an amount to be determined at trial.

 

We believe that Del-Rio’s claims are without merit, and all defendants are actively defending in this matter. In particular, SDS’ and MPS’ only involvement was to grant guaranties and/or security interests in their respective separate personal and real property to ACF to additionally collateralize the Tronco loan before its purchase by us. In addition, since the Meiers’ and their personal trusts guaranty repayment of the Tronco loan, we believe that the basis of Del-Rio’s damages claims are nullified. Consequently, we do not believe that Del Rio’s purported claims against SDS and MPS will have any material adverse effect on our cash flow, business, or operations.
