Note 2– Liquidity and Management's Plans

As described in more detail in Note 5, Revolving Credit Facilities on August 10, 2017, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "2017 Credit Agreement") with East West Bank, a California banking corporation ("East West Bank"), which provides for a three-year $30 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”). On August 10, 2017 we repaid all amounts due under our prior credit facility with PNC Bank (the "Prior Credit Facility") using proceeds from New Credit Facility. Upon entering the 2017 Credit Agreement and repaying all amounts due pursuant to the 2014 Credit Agreement, we had availability of approximately $4.7 million under the New Credit Facility. 

As of September 30, 2017, our available liquidity was approximately $3.2 million, which was substantially comprised of $2.7 million of availability under our credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") provided pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement with East West Bank ("East West Bank"), (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) and approximately $480,000 in cash. On August 10, 2017, we repaid approximately $21.5 million which we had borrowed pursuant to a previous credit facility (the "Prior Credit Facility") provided pursuant to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, N.A. (the “2014 Credit Agreement”) using proceeds from the New Credit Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the company received proceeds of approximately $23.5 million under the New Credit Facility. 

As of September 30, 2017, we were in violation of a loan covenant under the New Credit Facility that requires our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) (“FCCR”) to be not less than 1.10 to 1.00 at the end of each month, with a build up beginning with January 1, 2017. Our FCCR as of September 30, 2017, was 0.62, calculated in accordance with the 2017 Credit Agreement, and constituted an Event of Default, as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement. East West Bank may, at its election, declare all our obligations under the New Credit Facility immediately due and payable and cease advancing money or extending credit to us, among other remedies. We are currently in negotiations with East West Bank regarding a waiver of the testing of this covenant until December 31, 2017 through an amendment to the 2017 Credit Agreement, which would remedy the covenant violation. However, as of November 14, 2017, we had not finalized an amendment and we therefore classified borrowings under the New Credit Facility ($23,543,802) as a current liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017, resulting in us having a significant working capital deficit of approximately $21.1 million. We cannot provide assurance that we will reach an agreement regarding the waiver, however, we believe it is probable that such an agreement will be reached. If East West Bank exercises its option to declare our borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, or cease advancing money or extending credit to us, our ability to continue as a going concern will be negatively affected.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. Enservco maintains its excess cash in various financial institutions, where deposits may exceed federally insured amounts at times.

7

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts Receivable 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts billed to customers, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company provides an allowance for uncollectableuncollectible accounts based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The allowance for uncollectible amounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses. The allowance is management's best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical collection experience related to accounts receivable coupled with a review of the current status of existing receivables. The losses ultimately incurred could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining the allowance. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 2019, and December 31, 2016, 2018, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $127,000 and $34,000, respectively.approximately $139,000. For thethe three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the CompanyCompany recorded approximately $3,000 to bad debt expense (net of recoveries) of approximately $44,000 and $93,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded bad debt expense (net of recoveries) of approximately $59,000 and $146,000, respectively.expense.

 

Inventories

 

Inventory consists primarily of propane, diesel fuel and chemicals that are used in the servicing of oil wells and is carried at the lower of cost or marketnet realizable value in accordance with the first in, first out method (FIFO). The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs, of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30 2017 and 2016, no amounts were expensed for , 2019, the Company did not recognize any write-downs and write-offs.or write-offs of inventory.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consists of (1)(i) trucks, trailers and pickups; (2)(ii) water transfer pumps, pipe, lay flat hose, trailers, and other support equipment; (3)(iii) real property which includes land and buildings used for office and shop facilities and wells used for the disposal of water; and (4)(iv) other equipment such as tools used for maintaining and repairing vehicles, and (v) office furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company capitalizes interest on certain qualifying assets that are undergoing activities to prepare them for their intended use. Interest costs incurred during the fabrication period are capitalized and amortized over the life of the assets. The Company charges repairs and maintenance against income when incurred and capitalizes renewals and betterments, which extend the remaining useful life, expand the capacity or efficiency of the assets. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 5 to 30 years.

 

Any difference between net book value of the property and equipment and the proceeds of an assets’ sale or settlement of an insurance claim is recorded as a gain or loss in the Company’s earnings.

 

Leases

The Company assesses whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We have elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all assets. Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are calculated based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the lease start date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease start date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease asset is increased by any lease payments made at or before the lease start date and reduced by lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The lease term includes options to renew or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of lease assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the lease term. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company conducts a major part of its operations from leased facilities. Each of these leases is accounted for as an operating lease. Normally, the Company records rental expense on its operating leases over the lease term as it becomes payable. If rental payments are not made on a straight-line basis, per terms of the agreement, the Company records a deferred rent expense and recognizes the rental expense on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term. The majority of the Company’s facility leases contain renewal clauses and expire through June 2022. April 2024. In most cases, management expects that in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. The Company amortizes leasehold improvements over the shorter of the life of the lease or the life of the improvements. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had a deferred rent liability of approximately $15,000 and $64,000, respectively.

 

The Company has leased trucks and equipment in the normal course of business, which aremay be recorded as operating leases.or financing leases, depending on the term of the lease. The Company recorded rental expense on equipment under operating leases over the lease term as it becomes payable; there were no rent escalation terms associated with these equipment leases. The Company records amortization expense on equipment under financing leases on a straight-line basis as well as interest expense based on our implicit borrowing rate at the date of the lease inception. The equipment leases contain purchase options that allow the Company to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term, based on the market price of the equipment at the time of the lease termination. There are no significant equipment leases outstanding as of September 30, 2017.

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company reviews both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the business during the analysis of impairment. During the quantitative review, the Company reviews the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired. No impairments wereThe Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $127,000 related to its salt water disposal wells which it expects to divest during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.2019.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets received attributable to business acquisitions and combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets are measured for impairment at least annually and/or whenever events and circumstances arise that indicate impairment may exist, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate. In assessing the value of goodwill, assets and liabilities are assigned to the reporting units and the appropriate valuation methodologies are used to determine fair value at the reporting unit level. Identified intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Revenue Recognition

We have adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, beginning January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach, which we have applied to contracts within the scope of the standard. There was no material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements from adoption of this new standard. The Company evaluates revenue when we can identify the contract with the customer, the performance obligations in the contract, the transaction price, and we are certain that the performance obligations have been met. Revenue is recognized when the service has been provided to the customer. The vast majority of the Company's services and product offerings are short-term in nature. The time between invoicing and when payment is due under these arrangements is generally 30 to 60 days. Revenue is not generated from contractual arrangements that include multiple performance obligations.

 

The Company’s agreements with its customers are often referred to as “price sheets” and sometimes provide pricing for multiple services. However, these agreements generally do not authorize the performance of specific services or provide for guaranteed throughput amounts. As customers are free to choose which services, if any, to use based on the Company’s price sheet, the Company recognizes revenue when evidenceprices its separate services on the basis of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixedtheir standalone selling prices. Customer agreements generally do not provide for performance, cancellation, termination, or determinable,refund type provisions. Services based on price sheets with customers are generally performed under separately issued “work orders” or “field tickets” as services are provided, and collection is reasonably assured.requested.

 

Revenue is recognized for certain projects that take more than one day projects over time based on the number of days during the reporting period and the agreed upon price as work progresses on each project.

Disaggregation of revenue

See Note 13 - Segment Reporting for disaggregation of revenue.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Earnings (loss) per shareCommon Share - Basic is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Earnings per Common Share - Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the diluted weighted average number of common shares. The diluted weighted average number of common shares is computed using the treasury stock method for common stock that may be issued for outstanding stock options and warrants.

 

As of June September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, there were outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire an aggregate of 6,850,6702,203,499 and 4,490,6692,662,766 shares of Company common stock, respectively, which have a potentially dilutive impact on earnings per share. As of September June 30, 2017, 2019, the aggregate intrinsic value (the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2019, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money instruments) of outstanding stock options and warrants was approximately $1.0 million. Dilution is not permitted if there are net losses during the period. As such,$103,000

Derivative Instruments

From time to time, the Company does not show dilutive earnings per sharehas interest rate swap agreements in place to hedge against changes in interest rates. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are reflected as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The accounting for changes in the threefair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and nine months ended September the resulting designation. Transactions related to the Company’s derivative instruments accounted for as hedges are classified in the same category as the item hedged in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company did not hold derivative instruments at June 30, 2017 and 2016.2019 or December 31, 2018, for trading purposes.

 

Loan FeesOn February 23, 2018, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with East West Bank in order to hedge against the variability in cash flows from future interest payments related to the 2017 Credit Agreement. The terms of the interest rate swap agreement included an initial notional amount of $10.0 million, a fixed payment rate of 2.52% paid by us and a floating payment rate equal to LIBOR paid by East West Bank. The purpose of the swap agreement is to adjust the interest rate profile of our debt obligations. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is recorded in Other Deferred CostsAssets and changes to the fair value are recorded to Other Expense.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into loan agreements and amendments thereto with its primary lending institutions. The majority of these lending agreements and amendments require origination fees and other fees in the course of executing the agreements. For all costs associated with the execution of the lending agreements, the Company recognizes these as capitalized costs and amortizes these costs over the term of the loan agreement. All other costs not associated with the execution of the loan agreements are expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately $230,000 in unamortized loan fees and other deferred costs associated with the 2017 Credit Agreement, which we expect to charge to expense ratably over the three-year term of that agreement. Income Taxes 

 

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. 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 of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A deferred tax asset or liability that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting is classified according to the expected reversal date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that it believes is more likely than not expected to be realized.

 

The Company accounts for any uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if, in the Company’s opinion, it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous.  As such, the Company is required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding income tax exposures. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax law and regulations change over time and may result in changes to the Company’s subjective assumptions and judgments which can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income. The result of the reassessment of the Company’s tax positions did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as general and administrative expenses.Other expense.

Fair Value

 

The Company follows authoritative guidance that applies to all financial assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported on a fair value basis. The Company also applies the guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including non-competition agreements and goodwill. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

 

Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.  Beginning in 2017 the Company valued its warrants using the Binomial Lattice model ("Lattice"). The Company did not change its valuation techniques nor were there have any transfers between hierarchy levels during the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. The financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

 

 

Level 1:

Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2:

Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability; or

 

Level 3:

Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.

 


Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the award as described below, and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the equity grant.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model as a method for determining the estimated grant date fair value for all stock options awarded to employees, independent contractors, officers, and directors. The expected term of the options is based upon evaluation of historical and expected further exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life of the grant. Volatility is determined upon historical volatility of our stock and adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical experience. The dividend yield is assumed to be none as we have not paid dividends nor do we anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The Company also uses the Black-Scholes valuationa Lattice model to determine the fair value of certain warrants. The expected term used was the remaining contractual term. Expected volatility is based upon the weighted average of historical volatility over a term consistent with the contractual term of the warrant and implied volatility.remaining term. The risk-free interest rate is based upon impliedderived from the yield on azero-coupon U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issuegovernment securities with a remaining term equal to the contractual term of the warrants. The dividend yield is assumed to be none.zero.

 

The Company used the market-value of Company stock to determine the fair value of the performance-based restricted stock awarded in 2018 and 2019. The fair-value is updated quarterly based on actual forfeitures.

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation program to determine the fair value of market-based restricted stock awarded in 2018 and 2019.

Management Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated 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. Significant estimates include the realization of accounts receivable, stock basedevaluation of impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation expense, income tax provision, the valuation of derivative financial instruments (warrantswarrant liability and the Company's interest rate swaps),swaps, and the valuation of deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting PronouncementsBusiness Combinations 

 

In May 2014,We recognize and measure the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenueassets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, with any remaining difference recorded as goodwill or gain from Contractsa bargain purchase.

The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015 the FASB agreed to defer the effective date byacquisition, and not later than one year from the acquisition date, we will record any material adjustments to the initial estimate based on new standard becomes effective for us on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are currently determining the impactinformation obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the new standardacquisition date. An income, market or cost valuation method may be utilized to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if any, in a business combination. The income valuation method represents the present value of future cash flows over the life of the asset using: (i) discrete financial forecasts, which rely on management’s estimates of volumes, commodity prices, revenue fromand operating expenses; (ii) long-term growth rates; and (iii) appropriate discount rates. The market valuation method uses prices paid for a reasonably similar asset by other purchasers in the services we provide. Our approach includes performingmarket, with adjustments relating to any differences between the assets. The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a detailed reviewcomparable asset at prices at the time of key contracts representativethe acquisition reduced for depreciation of the asset. See Note 4 – Business Combinationsfor additional information regarding our different subsidiary businesses and comparing historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. Our services are primarily short-term in nature, and generally revenue is recognized at a point in time when services are completed. Our assessment is that for the significant majority of our revenue, we do not expect the new revenue recognition standard will have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption. However, from time to time we enter into service contracts with certain of our customers whereby revenue is earned over a period of time. We anticipate that with the adoption of ASU 2014-09, we will be required to disclose these various revenue streams on a disaggregated basis and provide disclosure detailing our considerations with regard to revenue recognized under service contracts.  We currently intend to adopt the new standard as of January 1, 2018.business combinations.

The Company also elected a practical expedient to operating leases withnot separate lease and non-lease components. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease terms longer than one year.or assessing impairment of the Right-of-Use (‘ROU”) assets.

This ASU provides a screen to determine whether a group of assets constitutes a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated as acquisitions. If the screen is not met, this ASU (1) requires that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output and (2) removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. Although outputs are not required for a set to be a business, outputs generally are a key element of a business; therefore, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2016-15)”, that clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receiptshas developed more stringent criteria for sets without outputs.

Note 4 – Business Combinations 

Acquisition of Adler Hot Oil Service, LLC 

On October 26, 2018, Enservco Corporation entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Adler Hot Oil Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), pursuant to which Enservco acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Adler Hot Oil Service, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Adler”) for a gross aggregate purchase price of $12.5 million, plus approximately $500,000 in working capital adjustments (the “Transaction”). The purchase price allocation differs from the gross aggregate purchase price due to fair value adjustments to the indemnity holdback, earnout, plus the discount on the subordinated note. Certain former members of Adler are also parties to the Agreement. Adler is a provider of frac water heating and hot oiling services, whose assets consist primarily of vehicles and equipment, with a complementary base of customers in several oil and gas producing basins where Enservco operates.

The consideration paid or to be paid by Enservco under the Agreement originally included: (i) $3.7 million in cash paid to or for the benefit of the Seller at the closing; (ii) a subordinated promissory note issued to the Seller in the principal amount of $4.8 million, plus interest accrued thereon (the “Seller Subordinated Note”), as further discussed below; (iii) retirement by Enservco of $2.5 million in indebtedness of Adler; (iv) an earn-out payment of up to $1.0 million in cash payable to the Seller (the "Earn-Out Payment"), the actual amount of which is subject to Enservco’s satisfaction of certain EBITDA-related performance conditions during 2019; and (v) $1.0 million in cash held by Enservco and payable to the Seller on the 18 month anniversary of October 26, 2018, subject to offset by Enservco for any indemnification obligations owed by the Seller or certain former members of Adler under the Agreement (the "Indemnity Holdback Payment"). Certain aspects of the consideration have been modified since execution of the Agreement as further discussed below. 

On April 4, 2019 Enservco and the Seller entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) in order to resolve certain disputes and disagreements relating to the Transaction without litigation. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement the parties agreed to (i) waive all rights of the Seller to the Earn-Out Payment and the Indemnity Holdback Payment, (ii) reduce the original principal balance of the Seller Subordinated Note from $4,800,000 to $4,500,000, (iii) extend the maturity date of the Seller Subordinated Note from March 31, 2019 to April 10, 2019, subject to a nine day grace period, and (iv) mutually release one another from any and all demands, claims and causes of action, existing, or arising out of or related to (A) the sale and purchase of Adler, (B) the Purchase Agreement or the Ancillary Documents referred to therein, (C) Adler, (D) loans by the Seller to Adler, or (E) the transactions or activities connected with any of the foregoing or any prior dealings of any of the Seller, on the one hand, and Enservco on the other hand, in each case subject to exceptions for claims arising from breaches of the Settlement Agreement and enumerated provisions of the Purchase Agreement. All adjustments to the original purchase accounting are recognized in the second quarter of 2019, when the settlement occurred. We also considered whether the execution of the Settlement Agreement was an indicator of impairment with regards to the recorded balance of goodwill and the definite-lived intangible assets. With regards to goodwill, we determined that it was not more likely than not that the carrying amount of the reporting unit was greater than its fair value, and thus determined that further evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment was not necessary. We will perform a goodwill impairment analysis over the recorded balance on an annual basis, or if we determine an indicator of impairment exists. With regards to the definite-lived intangible assets, we determined that there were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable, and therefore determined that a test for recoverability was not required.

The acquisition of Adler qualified as a business combination and as such, we estimated the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date. Additionally, we estimated the fair value of contingent consideration given. The fair value measure of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed applied various valuation methods to estimate the value of the intangibles that would provide a fair and reasonable value to a market participant, in view of the facts available at the time. Each valuation method was analyzed to determine which method would generate the most reasonable estimate of value of the Company’s intangible assets as of October 26, 2018. Both internal and external factors influencing the value of the intangibles were considered such as Adler’s financial position, results of operations, historical financial data, future financial expectations, economic conditions, status of the oil and gas industry and Adler’s position in the industry.

In connection with the execution of the Settlement Agreement, we reviewed our estimates and allocation of the fair value of assets acquired, consideration transferred, and contingent consideration given in connection with the Transaction. In our judgment, the reduction in the fair value of the consideration did not have a clear and direct link to the purchase price, and therefore the change in the fair value of the Indemnity Holdback Payment of approximately $908,000, the change in the fair value of the Earn-Out Payment, of approximately $44,000, and the $300,000 reduction in the amount of the Seller Subordinated Note, were each recorded as gains within Other Income (Expense) in the accompanying Statements of Operations.


The goodwill of approximately $245,000 arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies expected be achieved from combining the operations of Enservco and Adler. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Subordinated Note

In connection with the Transaction and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, on October 26, 2018, Enservco issued to the Seller the Seller Subordinated Note in the original principal amount of $4.8 million in connection with the Settlement Agreement, which was reduced to $4.5 million as discussed above, and unpaid amounts thereunder beared simple interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Enservco was required to and made principal payments on November 30, 2018 of $800,000, on February 28, 2019 of $200,000, and on April 9, 2019, subject to a 10-day grace period, of all remaining outstanding principal and interest. The Seller Subordinated Note was guaranteed by Enservco’s subsidiaries and secured by a junior security interest in substantially all assets of Enservco and its subsidiaries. The Seller Subordinated Note was subject to a subordination agreement by and among Enservco, the Seller, and East West Bank. On April 19, 2019, Enservco made the final payment to settle the principal balance and accrued interest on the Seller Subordinated Note and has no further obligations to the Seller.

Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Consent 

In connection with the Transaction, on October 26, 2018, Enservco and East West Bank entered into a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Consent (the “Second Amendment to LSA”), which amended the Loan and Security Agreement dated August 10, 2017 by and between Enservco and East West Bank (the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment to LSA, East West Bank consented to the Transaction and increased the maximum borrowing limit of the senior secured revolving credit facility provided to Enservco under the Loan Agreement to $37.0 million. Proceeds of $6.2 million from the increased senior secured revolving credit facility were used in the Transaction to make the cash payments at closing and retire the indebtedness of Adler. In connection with the Second Amendment to LSA the capital expenditure limitation contained within the Loan Agreement was increased to $3.0 million from $2.5 million.

On October 26, 2018, in connection with the Second Amendment to LSA, Adler entered into a Joinder Agreement, pursuant to which Adler was joined as a party to the Loan Agreement.

The 2017 Credit Agreement allows us to borrow up to 85% of our eligible receivables and up to 85% of the appraised value of our eligible equipment. Under the 2017 Credit Agreement, there are no required principal payments until maturity and we have the option to pay variable interest rate based on (i) 1 month-month LIBOR plus a margin of 3.5% or (ii) interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus a margin of 1.75%. Interest is calculated monthly and paid in arrears. Additionally, the New Credit Facility is subject to an unused credit line fee of 0.5% per annum multiplied by the amount by which total availability exceeds the average monthly balance of the New Credit Facility, payable monthly in arrears. The New Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets and subject to financial covenants. The outstanding principal loan balance matures on August 10, 2020. Under the terms of the 2017 Credit Agreement, collateral proceeds will beare collected in bank-controlled lockbox accounts and credited to the New Credit Facility within one business day.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, we had an outstanding principal loan balance under the 2017 Credit AgreementFacility of approximately $23.5$31.9 million with ana weighted average interest raterates of 4.75%5.98% per year for $23.0$27.0 million of outstanding LIBOR Rate borrowings and 6.0%7.25% per year for the approximately $544,000$4.9 million of outstanding Prime Rate borrowings. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, we had borrowed approximately $2.7 million was$753,000 in excess of the maximum amount available to be drawn under the 2017 Credit Facility and, under the Credit Facility we were required to immediately replay the borrowing excess. While we paid all of the borrowing excess on July 3, 2019, the non-payment on July 1, 2019 constituted a payment default under the Credit Agreement. On August 12, 2019, we entered into the Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement subjectand Waiver with East West Bank that (i) waived the foregoing default; (ii) provided for slightly higher interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility; and (iii) reduced our allowable capital expenditures in any fiscal year from $3.0 million to limitations including the minimum liquidity covenant described below. $1.5 million.

Under to the 2017 Credit Agreement, we are subject to the following financial covenants:
 
(1)(1) Maintenance of aFixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) of not less than 1.10 to 1.00 at the end of each month, with a build up beginning on January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2017, upon which the ratio will beis measured on a trailing twelve-monthtwelve-month basis;
 
(2) (2In periods when the trailing twelve-monthtwelve-month FCCR is less than 1.20 to 1.00, we are required to maintain minimum liquidity of $1,500,000$1,500,000 (including excess availability under the 2017 Credit AgreementFacility and balance sheet cash).
 
On August 10, 2017, an initial advance of approximately $21.7 million was made under the New Credit Facility to repay in full all obligations outstanding under our Prior Credit Facility. 
Upon entering into the 2017 Credit Agreement and as of September 30, 2017, our trailing 12 month FCCR was less than 1.20 to 1.00. As a result, we are required to maintain minimum liquidity of $1,500,000. Our liquidity as of September 30, 2017, as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement, was $3.2 million.
Also, as of September 30, 2017, we were in violation of the FCCR covenant under the 2017 Credit Agreement. Our FCCR, as calculated in accordance with the 2017 Credit Agreement, was 0.62 to 1.00, which constituted an Event of Default under the 2017 Credit Agreement. Upon an Event of Default, East West Bank may, at its election, declare all of our obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, demand that we deposit cash with the bank as collateral security, and cease advancing money or extending credit to us, among other remedies. As of November 14, 2017, East West Bank had not informed us of any election to exercise any of its rights and remedies. We are in negotiations with East West Bank regarding a waiver of the testing of this covenant until December 31, 2017 through an amendment to the 2017 Credit Agreement, which would remedy the covenant violation. We believe it is probable that we will reach an agreement with East West Bank that would cure this covenant violation, however we have no assurance that a waiver or amendment will be reached, or if so reached will not subject us to additional covenants and monetary payments. There is no assurance that we will cure this existing covenant violation.

PNC Revolving Credit Facility

In September 2014, we entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the "2014 Credit Agreement") with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC") which provided for a five-year $30 million senior secured revolving credit facility. Under the 2014 Credit Agreement, there were no required principal payments until maturity and we had the option to pay variable interest rate based on (i) 1, 2 or 3 month LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 4.50% to 5.50% for LIBOR Rate Loans or (ii) interest at PNC Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 3.00% to 4.00% for Domestic Rate Loans. Interest was calculated monthly and added to the principal balance of the loan.

This subordinated debt has a stated annual interest rate of 10% and maturity date of June 28, 2022. In connection with this issuance of subordinated debt, Cross River was granted a five-year warrant to purchase 645,161 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share. We accounted for the warrants issued in connection with the subordinated debt as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017.cash.

As of December 31, 2016, June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with ourall financial covenants undercontained in the 20142017 Credit Agreement.

Debt Issuance Costs

 

We have capitalized certain debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the credit agreementsCredit Facility discussed above and these costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the facility on a straight-line basis. AsThe long-term portion of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximately $230,000 and $171,000, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs wereof approximately $152,000 and $208,000 is included in Other Assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.sheets for June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Upon the acceleration of the maturity date upon entering into the Tenth Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement, and subsequently upon our repayment of the 2014 Credit Agreement on August 10, 2017, we accelerated the amortization of approximately $110,000 and $317,000 of debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the 2014 Credit Agreement, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. 

Interest Rate Swap

On September 17, 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with PNC in order to hedge against the variability in cash flows from future interest payments related to the 2014 Credit Agreement. The terms of the interest rate swap agreement included an initial notional amount of $10.0 million, a fixed payment rate of 1.88% plus applicable a margin ranging from 4.50% to 5.50% paid by us and a floating payment rate equal to LIBOR plus applicable margin of 4.50% to 5.50% paid by PNC. The purpose of the swap agreement was to adjust the interest rate profile of our debt obligations and to achieve a targeted mix of floating and fixed rate debt.

In connection with the termination of the 2014 Credit Agreement, on August 10, 2017, we terminated the interest rate swap agreement with PNC. Our cost to terminate the agreement was approximately $90,000, which compared to our estimate of the fair value of the swap prior to the termination of approximately $72,000. We recorded the difference of approximately $18,000 as additional interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

The Company's warrant liability was valued as a derivative instrument at issuance and at September 30, 2017 usingfair value of the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using observable market inputs and management judgment based on the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 1.62%, expected dividend yield of 0%,swap is estimated using a term of 2.4 years,discounted cash flow model. Such models involve using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our nonperformance risk and a volatility of 100.10%. The valuation policies used are approved by the Chief Financial Officer who reviews and approves the inputs usedrespective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value calculations andmeasurements, which we have concluded are not material to the changes in fair value measurements from periodvaluation. Due to period for reasonableness. Fair value measurements are discussed with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as deemed appropriate.

The Company’s interest rate swap is valued using models which require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads,swaps being unique and correlations of such inputs. Some of the model inputs used in valuing the derivative instruments trade in liquid markets, and therefore the derivative instrument is classified within Level 2 ofnot actively traded, the fair value hierarchy. For applicableis classified as Level 2.

The fair value of the Indemnity Holdback Payment liability was estimated based on the present value using a risk-adjusted interest rate of 9.5%. The fair value of the Earn-Out Payment liability was estimated using a financial projection with a risk-adjusted interest rate of 9.5%.

Certain assets carriedand liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the credit standingcarrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and interest approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such items. The carrying value of the counterparties is analyzed and factored into the fair value measurement of those assets. The fair value estimates of our derivative financial instruments do not reflect their actual trading value.

The change inCompany’s credit agreements are carried at cost which are approximately the fair value of the warrant liability resulted in a chargedebt as the related interest rate are at the terms that approximate rates currently available to earnings of approximately $280,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and is included within Other (expense) income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Company.

 

The Company did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Note 98 – Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period.  The provision for income taxes for the threesix months ended September June 30, 2017 2019 and 20162018 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34%21% to pre-tax income primarily because of state income taxes and estimated permanent differences.

 

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year.  The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. 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. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to zero.

 

During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded netan income tax benefitexpense of $1.4 millionapproximately $314,000 and  $2.4 million,$235,000, respectively, primarily due to our net operating losses duringreduced the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Asgross amount of September 30, 2017, the Company had recorded a deferred tax asset and we reduced the valuation allowance by a like amount which resulted in a net tax provision of approximately $2.0 million. zero.

Operating Leases

 

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842, Leases. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019 are presented in accordance with ASC 842, while prior period amounts are reported in accordance with ASC 840. On January 1, 2019, we recognized $2.4 million in right-of-use assets and $2.4 million in lease liabilities, representing the present value of minimum payment obligations associated with leased facilities and certain equipment with non-cancellable lease terms in excess of one year. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we entered into several finance leases related to equipment. We recognized approximately $845,000 in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. We made a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $108,000 at January 1, 2019.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, the Company uses the weighted average interest rate on its Credit Facility. Long-term leases typically contain rent escalations over the lease term. The Company recognizes expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all applicable classes of underlying assets. Short-term disclosures include only those leases with a term greater than one month and 12 months or less, and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that we are reasonably certain to exercise, are not recorded on the balance sheet.

The Company elected the expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for our entire population of operating lease assets.

As of June September 30, 2017, 2019, the Company leases facilities and certain equipment under lease commitments that expire through August 2022. June 2026. Future minimum lease commitments for these operating lease commitments are as follows:follows (in thousands):

Litigation

 

The CompanyEnservco and our subsidiary Heat Waves Hot Oil Service LLC (“Heat Waves”) arewere defendants in a civil lawsuit in federal court in Colorado, Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-00983-RBJ (“Colorado Case”), that allegesalleged that Enservco and Heat Waves, in offering and selling frac water heating services, infringed and induced others to infringe two patents owned by Heat-On-The-Fly, LLC (“HOTF”). The complaint relates- i.e., the ‘993 Patent and the ‘875 Patent.  In March of 2019, the parties moved to only a portiondismiss the Colorado Case.  On March 15, 2019, the Colorado Case was dismissed in its entirety without any finding of wrongdoing by Enservco or Heat Waves.   

HOTF dismissed its claims with regard to the ‘993 Patent with prejudice and its claims with regard to the ‘875 Patent without prejudice.  However, HOTF agreed not to sue Enservco or Heat Waves in the future for infringement of the ‘875 Patent based on the same type of frac water heating services providedoffered by Heat Waves. The Colorado Case is now stayed pending resolution of appeal byWaves prior to and through March 13, 2019.  Heat Waves dismissed its counterclaims against HOTF of a North Dakota court’s ruling that the primary patent (“the ‘993 Patent”)without prejudice in order to preserve its defenses.

While the Colorado Case was invalid. Neither Enservco nor Heat Waves is a party to the North Dakota Case, which involves other energy companies.

The ‘993 Patent has undergone several reexaminations by the USPTO and in February 2015, the USPTO rejected all 99 claims of the ‘993 Patent in the latest reexamination.  However, in May 2016, the USPTO reversed its decision and confirmed all 99 claims as being patentable over the cited prior art in the reexamination proceeding. Further, in September 2016 and February 2017,pending, HOTF was issued two additional patents, bothwhich were related to the ‘993 and ‘875 Patents, but were not part of which could be asserted against the Company.Colorado Case.  However, in March of 2015, a North Dakota federal court determined in an unrelated lawsuit (not involving Enservco or Heat Waves) that the ‘993 Patent was invalid. The same court also found that the ‘993 Patent was unenforceable due to inequitable conduct by the patent owner and/or the inventor. The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals later confirmed, among other things, the North Dakota court’s findings of inequitable conduct.  In light of the foregoing, Management believes that final findings of invalidity and/or unenforceability of the ‘993 Patent based on inequitable conduct could serve as a basis to affect the validity and/or enforceability of each of HOTF’sthese additional HOTF patents. If these Patents are ultimately held to be invalid and/or enforceable, the Colorado Case would become moot.

 

In the event that HOTF’s appeal is successful and the ‘993 Patent is found to be valid and/or enforceable in the North Dakota Case, the Colorado Case may resume. To the extent that Enservco and Heat Waves are unsuccessful in their defense of the Colorado Case, they could be liable for enhanced damages/attorneys’ fees (both of which may be significant) and Heat Waves could possibly be enjoined from using any technology that is determined to be infringing. Either result could negatively impact Heat Waves’ business and operations. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this case, and accordingly has not recorded an accrual for any potential loss.

Stock Option PlansOptions

 

On July 27, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010“2010 Plan”). The aggregate number of shares of common stock that could be granted under the 2010 Plan was reset at the beginning of each year based on 15% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding. As such, on January 1, 2016 the number of shares of common stock available under the 2010 Plan was reset to 5,719,069 shares based upon 38,127,129 shares outstanding on that date. Options were typically granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant with a vesting schedule of one to three years and a contractual term of 5 years. As discussed below, the 2010 Plan has been replaced by a new stock option plan and no additional stock option grants will be granted under the 2010 Plan. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, 2019, there were options to purchase 1,501,167574,666 shares outstanding under the 2010 Plan.

Restricted Stock

 

Restricted shares issued pursuant to restricted stock awards under the 2016 Stock Plan are restricted as to sale or disposition. These restrictions lapse periodically generally over a period of three years. Restrictions may also lapse for early retirement and other conditions in accordance with our established policies. Upon termination of employment, shares on which restrictions have not lapsed must be returned to us, resulting in restricted stock forfeitures. The fair market value on the date of the grant of the stock with a service condition is amortized and charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The fair market value on the date of the grant of the stock with a performance condition shall be accrued and recognized when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be achieved. Restricted shares that contain a market condition are amortized and charged over the life of the award.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Executive Summary

 

The nine months ended September 30, 2017 brought several positive developments.  Overall demand for our services increased due to improved industry conditions and cooler temperatures in several of our heating markets compared to the same period in 2016.  In addition, we added three major customers that expanded our frac water heating business and helped to offset warm weather in the Marcellus/Utica shale market during the winter of 2016-2017.  Also, we continued to grow and expand our water transfer business.  We acquired these assets in January 2016 and due to the dramatic drop in crude oil prices in early 2016, we were not able to generate any water transfer business until late in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Revenues for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019, increased $8.7approximately $5.2 million, or 48%19%, from the comparable period last year due to a 70%18% increase in our core well enhancementWell Enhancement revenue and a 19% increase in Water Transfer revenue.  Higher  Well Enhancement revenue growth was attributable to the acquisition of Adler Hot Oil in the fourth quarter of 2018 and to ongoing efforts to bundle services with new and existing customers. Increased frac water heating revenues in our Rocky Mountain region, improved demand for hot oil services in the Bakken, and continued expansion of hot oiling and acidizing services in the Eagle Ford all contributed to the increase in well enhancement revenues.  Water transfer revenues were approximately $1.8 million higher than the comparable period last year duepartially offset by a decline in acidizing revenue.  Water Transfer revenue growth was attributable to continued expansion of services.successful marketing efforts in Wyoming.

 

Segment lossesprofits for the three monthssix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 improved2019, increased by approximately $198,000, to a loss of approximately $260,000 from a loss of approximately $458,000 in the comparable period in 2016$1.2 million, or 17%, due to improved results from our well enhancement services and the results from our water transfer segment. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, segment profits increased by $3.5 million, due primarily to an increase in Well Enhancement service revenue fromwithout a corresponding increase in our core well enhancement services. Generalfixed cost structure.  Higher segment profits in Well Enhancement were partially offset by an increased segment loss in Water Transfer as described below. Sales, general & administrative expenses,expense, excluding severance and transition costs, increased by approximately $528,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016,$489,000, or 19%, year over year due primarily to an increase in personnel costs at the corporate level. Severance and transitiongeneral office expenses, including costs related to the resignation of the Company’s former Presidentinvestment in our IT systems and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of approximately $784,000 were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.processes. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $383,000 from the first nine months of 2016 primarily$531,000, or 53%, year over year due to $327,000 of accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs related to reduction in term and extinguishment of the credit facility provided by PNC, and due to an increase ina higher average borrowing costs due to the higher weighted-average interest rate paid on borrowings with PNC and other lenders, partially offset by savingsbalance related to the lower interest rateAdler acquisition and our increased time to collection on our new credit facility provided by East West Bank, which we closed on August 10, 2017.certain customer receivables. 

 

ForNet income for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, the Company recognized a net loss of2019, was approximately $5.0$1.1 million or ($0.10)$0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.8approximately $1.2 million, or ($0.15)$0.02 per share, in the same period last year primarily due to the aforementioned increase in higher marginfactors noted above, as well enhancement revenues.as a gain on settlement of approximately $1.2 million related to a settlement agreement reached with the sellers of Adler during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019, was a loss of approximately $1.3$5.3 million compared to a loss of approximately $1.2$4.6 million for the comparablesame period in 2016. last year. See the section titled Adjusted EBITDAEBITDA* within this Item for definition of Adjusted EBITDA.

Industry Overview

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 was2019, WTI crude oil price averaged approximately $959,000 compared to a loss$57 per barrel, versus an average of $2.1 million forapproximately $65 per barrel in the comparable period last year. The North American rig count declined to 967 rigs in 2016. For further details regardingoperation as of June 30, 2019, compared to 1,047 at the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA see Adjusted EBITDA section below.

Industry Overview

During 2015 and 2016,same time a majority of our customers scaled back drilling and completion programs, required substantial concessions from service vendors,year ago.  Taking into account the lower oil price environment and reduced or delayed certain maintenance-related workrig count, we believe current customer activity levels should support continuation of demand for our services��if crude oil and natural gas prices remain in the range of their current levels. We have responded to preserve capital. Certain of these customers also shifted capitalthe current market dynamics by allocating resources to basins where we do not have established operations. Further, the overall reduction in service activity resulted in same amount of service vendors pursuing fewer jobs which put even further downward pressure on the pricing of services. Some competitors responded by pricing work at what we believe to be negative margins. Although the Company has been able to partially mitigate the impact of the operating environment by deploying resources to moreour most active customers and basins,basins. We are focused on increasing utilization levels and optimizing the deployment of our revenue growthequipment and operating margins were significantly negatively impacted by reduced overall demandworkforce while maintaining high standards for service quality and safe operations. We compete on the basis of the quality and breadth of our services, required pricing concessions and delays in requiring the services we provide. service offerings.

 

 

Crude prices and the North American rig count have increased since the low points in February 2016 and May 2016, respectively, signaling that the industry downturn may have stabilized. The United States rig count bottomed out at approximately 400 in the spring of 2016 and has increased to approximately 940 as of September 30, 2017, which translated into increased activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. However, the growth in the rig count is overweighted to the Permian Basin. We started to see an increase in completion and production maintenance service activity towards the end of the fourth quarter of 2016, due to some stabilization of commodity prices and the oil and gas industry overall.  We believe this industry turnaround has contributed to an increase in demand for service activity compared to 2016.Segment Overview

Segment profits for our core Well Enhancement services increased by $2.5 million, or 34%, to $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $7.3  million in the same period in 2016,last year, primarily due primarily to higher revenue resulting from the seasonalityacquisition of Adler and the deployment of our frac heating services and the ramp up offleet into our employee base and maintenance work performedmost active basins, along with certain cost reduction initiatives implemented in advance of the historically busier fourth and first quarters. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, segment profits increased by approximately $2.8 million, or 131%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Increased revenues from the aforementioned more normal winter temperatures, the extension of heating season into the second quarter, the reboundhalf of oil prices, and addition of new customers contributed to the improved segment profits.

Water Transfer revenue for the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, Water Transfer Services2019 accounted for 7% of total revenue, and increased by $1.8approximately $371,000, or 19%, from approximately $1.9 million to $1.9 million,approximately $2.3 million. The increase in revenue was due in part to cross-selling Water Transfer services to several of our largest heating customers, and was also the incremental revenues from four new customers during 2017. The Company is scheduled for additional water transfer projects through the endresult of 2017. We consider the water transfer services segment to be an opportunity to grow our business with bothorganic growth sales among new and existing customers and believe it offers opportunity to reduce the level of seasonality we have historically experienced. Segment results for the water transfer segment in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 include approximately $68,000 and $226,000 of marketing and trial costs related to the HydroFLOW water treatment services, respectively.Water Transfer customers.

*Note: See below for discussion of the use of non-GAAP financial measurements.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial statements and for use within management’s discussion and analysis based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader's understanding of the Company’s financial performance, but no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided herein.

 

EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income, (earnings), before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation from EBITDA and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance as set forth in the next paragraph. None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure.

 

All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income to EBITDA and from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g., depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation, warrants issued,impairment losses, etc.) or (ii) items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance (e.g., income taxes, severance and transition costs related to the executive management team, gain or losses on sale of investments, loss on disposal of assets,equipment, software implementation costs, patent litigation and defense costs, severance and transition costs, other expense (income), EBITDA related to discontinued operations, etc.). In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can better assess the Company’scompany’s operating performance if the measures are presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not affect the Company’s ability to generate free cash flow or invest in its business.

 

We use, and we believe investors benefit from the presentation of, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance because it provides us and our investors with an additional tool to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’scompany’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Additionally, our fixed charge coverage ratio covenant associated with our 2017 CreditLoan and Security Agreement with East West Bank require the use of Adjusted EBITDA in specific calculations.

 

Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the Company’s performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity Update

As described in more detail in Note 57 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report, on August 10, 2017, we entered into a Loan and Securitythe 2017 Credit Agreement, (the “2017 Credit Agreement”)as amended, with East West Bank (“East West Bank”(the "2017 Credit Agreement") which provides for a three-year $30$37 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”"Credit Facility"), to replace the five-year $30 million senior secured revolving credit Facility (the “Prior Credit Facility”) provided

As of June 30, 2019, we had an outstanding principal loan balance under the AmendedCredit Facility of approximately $31.9 million with a weighted average interest rates of 5.98% per year for $27.0 million of outstanding LIBOR Rate borrowings and Restated Revolving7.25% per year for the approximately $4.9 million of outstanding Prime Rate borrowings. As of June 30, 2019, we had borrowed approximately $753,000 in excess of the maximum amount available under the Credit Facility and, under the Credit Facility we were required to immediately replay the borrowing excess. While we paid all of the borrowing excess on July 3, 2019, the non-payment on July 1, 2019 constituted a payment default under the Credit Agreement. On August 12, 2019, we entered into the Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “2014 Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”). As of September 30, 2017, we were in violation of one of the loan covenants of the 2017 Credit Agreement, which required that we maintain a trailing nine-month Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) of an amount not less than 1.10 to 1.00 at the end of the month with a build up beginning on January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. Our FCCR as of September 30, 2017, calculated in accordance with the 2017 Credit Agreement, was 0.62 to 1.00, which constituted an Event of Default. Under the 2017 Credit Agreement, upon an Event of Default, East West Bank, may at its election, declare all of our obligations under the agreement immediately due and payable, demand that we deposit cash with the bank as collateral security, and cease advancing money or extending credit to us, among other remedies. We are in negotiationsWaiver with East West Bank regarding a waiver ofthat (i) waived the testing of this covenant through December 31, 2017 through an amendmentforegoing default; (ii) provided for slightly higher interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility; and (iii) reduced our allowable capital expenditures in any fiscal year from $3.0 million to the 2017 Credit Agreement, which would remedy the covenant violation. We believe it is probable that we will reach such an agreement with East West Bank, however, we cannot provide assurance that East West Bank will agree to provide the waiver, and as of November 14, 2017 we had not finalized such an agreement. If East West Bank exercises its option to declare the debt immediately due and payable, our ability to continue as a going concern will be materially, negatively affected.$1.5 million.

Overview:

 

We have relied on cash flow from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit agreements, and equity and debt offerings to satisfy our liquidity needs. Our ability to fund operating cash flow shortfalls, fund capital expenditures, and make acquisitions will depend upon our future operating performance and on the availability of equity and debt financing.  At As  discussed above, at JuneSeptember 30, 2017,2019, we had approximately $480,000 of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $2.7 milliondid not have any capacity available under the Credit Facility, however, subsequent to June 30, 2019, cash collections from our asset-based senior revolving credit facility.customers allowed us to repay a portion of the outstanding balance, resulting in modest additional borrowing capacity. Our capital requirements over the next 12 months are anticipated to include, but are not limited to, operating expenses, debt servicing, and capital expenditures including maintenance of our existing fleet of assets.

On March 31, 2017, our largest shareholder, Cross River Partners, L.P., posted a letter of credit in the amount of $1.5 million in accordance with the terms of the Tenth Amendment.Amendment to our 2014 Credit Agreement, which was provided by PNC Bank. The letter of credit was converted into subordinated debt with a maturity date of June 28, 2022 with a stated interest rate of 10% per annum and a five-year warrant to purchase 967,741 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.31$0.31 per share.

Interest Rate Swap

 

On September 17, 2015,February 23, 2018, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with PNCEast West Bank (the "2018 Swap") in order to hedge against the variability in cash flows from future interest payments related to the 2014 Credit Agreement.Facility. The terms of the interest rate swap agreement includeincluded an initial notional amount of $10$10.0 million, a fixed payment rate of 1.88% plus an applicable margin ranging from 4.50% to 5.50%2.52% paid by us, and a floating rate payment rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.50% to 5.50% paid by PNC.East West Bank.

Outlook:

 

We believe that the current oil and gas environment provides us an opportunity to optimizeincrease our cash flows through the increased utilization of our asset base, due to industry dynamics and increase our cash flow through thefocus on deploying our assets into areas where our services are in high demand. We have experienced an increase in bothsuch demand due to the oil prices andfairly stable oil and natural gas drilling activities.commodity prices from 2016 lows, and modest increases in the level of production and development activities across the industry. Our long term goal is2019 financial results, to right-sizedate, reflect our improved operational execution in response to this increased demand, and we are optimistic about the prospects for the remainder of 2019 should oil and natural gas prices remain in their current range. Our long-term goals include driving increased utilization of our assets, an optimized deployment of our fleet, and the right-sizing of our balance sheet by paying down debt and increasing the utilization rate of our assets.debt. We plan to continue to look forseek opportunities to expand our business operations through organic growth, such as geographic expansion andincluding increasing the volume and scope of current services offered to our new and existing customerscustomers. We may identify additional services to offer to our customer base, and make related investments as capital and market conditions permits. We will continue to explore adding high margin services that reducediversify and expand our seasonality, diversify our service offerings, and maintain a goodcustomer relationships while maintaining an appropriate balance between recurring maintenance work and drilling and completion related services.

 

Capital Commitments and Obligations:

Our capital obligations as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 consist primarily of scheduled principal payments under certain term loans and operating leases. We repaid all amounts due under the 2014 Credit Agreement using proceeds from the 2017 Credit Agreement. We do not have any scheduled principal payments under the 2017 Credit Agreement until August 10, 2020,2020; however, the Company may need to make future principal payments based upon collateral availability. General terms and conditions for amounts due under these commitments and obligations are summarized in the notes to the financial statements.    

Pursuant to a Sales Agreement with HydroFLOW USA, HWWM has the exclusive right to sell or rent patented hydropath devices in connection with bacteria deactivation and scale treatment services for treating injection and disposal wells, fracking water and recycled water in the oil and gas industry to HWWM customers in the United States. Pursuant to the sales agreement, HWWM is required to pay 3.5% royalties of its gross revenues on certain rental transactions and, in order to maintain the exclusivity provision under the agreement, we must purchase approximately $655,000 of equipment per year commencing in 2016 and ending 2025. In November 2016, we and HydroFLOW USA agreed to allocate $220,000 of the 2016 commitment to 2017, thereby increasing the minimum purchase requirement for 2017 to $875,000. During 2017, we purchased $280,000 of equipment to meet our 2016 purchase commitment for exclusivity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we did not accrue or pay any royalties to HydroFLOW, however, subsequent to September 30, 2017, we completed our first job using the technology. We have negotiated a release of all 2016 and 2017 purchase commitments, while leaving intact the exclusive right to sell or rent the patented hydropath devices through 2017. 

 

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, 2019, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Leases

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases.  ASC Topic 842 requires the recognition of lease rights and obligations as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. Previously, lessees were not required to recognize the balance sheet assets and liabilities arising from operating leases. As we elected the cumulative-effect adoption method, prior-period information has not been restated.  On January 1, 2019, we recognized $2.4 million in right-of-use assets and $2.4 million in lease liabilities, representing the present value of minimum payment obligations associated with leased facilities and certain equipment with non-cancellable lease terms in excess of one year. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we entered into several finance leases related to equipment. We made an adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $108,000 at January 1, 2019. 

 

Our significantThere have been no other changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed from those reported in Item 7 “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in in our 2016 10-K.since December 31, 2018.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this Item.

  

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under thethe supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer). Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the 1934Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the 1934Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Beginning January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 "Leases". Although the adoption of the new accounting standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we implemented changes to our processes related to accounting for leases and related internal controls. These changes included the development of new policies related to the new leasing framework, training, ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering of information to comply with disclosure requirements.

There were not any changeshas been no change in ourthe Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated by the SEC under the 1934 Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2017,covered by this report that havehas materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, ourits internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

 

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Enservco Corporation ("Enservco") and its subsidiary Heat Waves Hot Oil Service LLC (“Heat Waves”) arewere defendants in a civil lawsuit in federal court in Colorado, Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-00983-RBJ (“Colorado Case”), that allegesalleged that Enservco and Heat Waves, in offering and selling frac water heating services, infringed and induced others to infringe two patents owned by Heat-On-The-Fly, LLC (“HOTF”). The complaint relates- i.e., the ‘993 Patent and the ‘875 Patent.  In March of 2019, the parties moved to only a portiondismiss the Colorado Case.  On March 15, 2019, the Colorado Case was dismissed in its entirety without any finding of liability of Enservco or Heat Waves.   

HOTF dismissed its claims with regard to the ‘993 Patent with prejudice and its claims with regard to the ‘875 Patent without prejudice.  However, HOTF agreed not to sue Enservco or Heat Waves in the future for infringement of the ‘875 Patent based on the same type of frac water heating services providedoffered by Heat Waves. The Colorado Case is now stayed pending resolution of appeal byWaves prior to and through March 13, 2019.  Heat Waves dismissed its counterclaims against HOTF of a North Dakota court’s ruling that the primary patent (“the ‘993 Patent”)without prejudice in order to preserve its defenses.

While the Colorado Case was invalid. Neither Enservco nor Heat Waves is a party to the North Dakota Case, which involves other energy companies.

The ‘993 Patent has undergone several reexaminations by the USPTO and in February 2015, the USPTO rejected all 99 claims of the ‘993 Patent in the latest reexamination.  However, in May 2016, the USPTO reversed its decision and confirmed all 99 claims as being patentable over the cited prior art in the reexamination proceeding. Further, in September 2016 and February 2017,pending, HOTF was issued two additional patents, bothwhich were related to the ‘993 and ‘875 Patents, but were not part of which could be asserted against us.the Colorado Case.  However, in March of 2015, a North Dakota federal court determined in an unrelated lawsuit (not involving Enservco or Heat Waves) that the ‘993 Patent was invalid. The same court also found that the ‘993 Patent was unenforceable due to inequitable conduct by the patent owner and/or the inventor. The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals later confirmed, among other things, the North Dakota court’s findings of inequitable conduct.  In light of the foregoing, Management believes that final findings of invalidity and/or unenforceability of the ‘993 Patent based on inequitable conduct could serve as a basis to affect the validity and/or enforceability of each of HOTF’sthese additional HOTF patents. If these Patents are ultimately held to be invalid and/or enforceable, the Colorado Case would become moot.

As noted above, the Colorado Case has been stayed. However, in the event that HOTF’s appeal is successful and the ‘993 Patent is found to be valid and/or enforceable in the North Dakota Case, the Colorado Case may resume. To the extent that Enservco and Heat Waves are unsuccessful in their defense of the Colorado Case, they could be liable for enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees (both of which may be significant) and Heat Waves could possibly be enjoined from using any technology that is determined to be infringing. Either result could negatively impact Heat Waves’ business and operations. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this case, and accordingly has not recorded an accrual for any potential loss.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

In addition toSee the Company’s risk factors set forth in ourthe Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162018, filed on March 31, 2017, the Company28, 2019, which is also subject to the following risks:

We are in violation of a loan covenant in our 2017 Credit Agreement and our lender, East West Bank, has the right to immediately declare the outstanding loan balance due and payable, cease making further advances under the loan and exercise other remedies in the event it declares an Event of Default. If East West Bank exercises its option to declare the debt to be immediately due and payable, our ability to continue as a going concern will be materially, negatively affected. We may be unable to meet the obligations of the various financial covenants in that agreement.

As of September 30, 2017, we were in violation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, or FCCR, covenant under the 2017 Credit Agreement. Our FCCR, as calculated in accordance with the 2017 Credit Agreement, was 0.62 to 1.00. Failure to satisfy the financial covenants contained in the 2017 Credit Agreement constitutes an Event of Default under the 2017 Credit Agreement. Upon an Event of Default, under the 2017 Credit Agreement, East West Bank may, at its election, declare all of our obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, demand that we deposit cash with the bank as collateral security, and cease advancing money or extending credit to us, among other remedies. As of November 14, 2017, East West Bank had not informed us of its election to exercise of any of these rights and remedies, and we are seeking a covenant waiver or amendment to the terms of the 2017 Credit Agreement to remedy the covenant violation. We have no assurance that any waiver or amendment will be reached, or if so reached will not subject us to additional covenants and monetary payments. There is no assurance that we will cure this existing covenant violation. If East West Bank exercises its option to declare the debt immediately due and payable, our ability to continue as a going concern will be materially, negatively affected.

incorporated herein by reference. In addition, due tosee the foregoing loan covenant violation, on our consolidated condensed balance sheets, we have included all amounts outstanding under the 2017 Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2017, or approximately $23.5 million as a current liability, resulting in us having a material, significant working capital deficit as of September 30, 2017, of approximately $21.1 million.

Our 2017 Credit Agreement imposes various other obligations and financial covenants on us. The 2017 Credit Agreement has a variable interest rate and is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of us and our subsidiaries.

We must maintain minimum liquidity levels and our ability to incur additional debt or operating lease obligations is significantly constrained by the 2017 Credit Agreement. A downturn in the domestic oil and natural gas exploration and production sector will likely result in reduced drilling activity in our service areas and make it more difficult to meet our financial covenants.risk factor below.

 

Our debt obligations may reducesuccess depends on key members of our financial and operating flexibility.management, the loss of any executive or key personnel could disrupt our business operations.

 

AsWe depend to a large extent on the services of September 30, 2017, we had borrowed approximately $23.5 million undercertain of our 2017 Credit Agreement and had approximately $2.7 millionexecutive officers. The loss of borrowing capacity available under this facility. However, due tothe services of Ian Dickinson, Kevin Kersting or Marjorie Hargrave, could disrupt our noncompliance with a debt covenant as discussed above, our bank may determine to not advance us any further funds under the 2017 Credit Agreement.operations. Although we plan to utilize future cash flow from operations to reduce our outstanding borrowings,have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Dickinson and Kersting and Ms. Hargrave, that contain, among other things non-compete and confidentiality provisions, we may be unable to achieve this objective. If we are unable to reduce debt or new debt or other liabilities are added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face would increase.

A high level of indebtedness subjects us to a number of adverse risks. In particular, a high level of indebtedness may make it more likely that a reduction in the borrowing base of our credit facility following a periodic redetermination could require us to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings, may impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future, and increases the risk that we may default on our debt obligations. In addition, we may be required to devote a significant portion of our cash flows to servicing our debt, and that we are subject to interest rate risk under our credit facility, which bears interest at a variable rate. Any further increase in our interest rates (whether by amendment to its 2017 Credit Agreement or as the result of economic conditions) would likely have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

Our ability to meet our debt obligations and to reduce our level of indebtedness depends on our future performance. General economic conditions, oil and natural gas prices and financial, business and other factors affect our operations and its future performance. Many of these factors are beyond our control. If we do not have sufficient funds on hand to pay our debt when due, we may be required to seek a waiver or amendment from our lenders, refinance our indebtedness, incur additional indebtedness, sell assets or sell additional shares of our equity securities. We may not be able to complete such transactions on terms acceptable to us, enforce the non-compete and/or at all. Our failure to generate sufficient funds to pay our debts or to undertake any of these actions successfully could resultconfidentiality provisions in a default on our debt obligations, which would materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.the employment agreements.
