Note 2 - 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.

 

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 uncollectible 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 June 30, 2018,2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $65,000 and $70,000, respectively.$139,000. For thethe three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, the CompanyCompany recorded less than $1,000 ofapproximately $3,000 to bad debt expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded bad debt expense (net of recoveries) of approximately $33,000. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded bad debt expense (net of recoveries) of approximately $20,000 and $49,000, respectively. 

 

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 net 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 six months ended June 30 2018 , 2019, the Companand 2017,y did not recognize any no amounts were expensed for write-downs and write-offs.or write-offs of inventory.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consists of (i) trucks, trailers and pickups; (ii) water transfer pumps, pipe, lay flat hose, trailers, and other support equipment; (iii) real property which includes land and buildings used for office and shop facilities and wells used for the disposal of water; and (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 AugustApril 2022.2024. 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, 2018,2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company had a deferred rent liability of approximately $90,00015,000 and $64,000$96,000,, 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 June 30, 2018.

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 2019.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the three 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 six months ended June 30, 2018 whenever events and 2017.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

 

As described below, weWe have adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09,2014-09, 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, which includes estimated amounts for services rendered but not invoiced at the end of each accounting period.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 prices its separate services on the basis of their standalone selling prices. Customer agreements generally do not provide for performance, cancellation, termination, or refund type provisions. Services based on price sheets with customers are generally performed under separately issued “work orders” or “field tickets” as services are 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. Revenue that has been earned but not yet invoiced at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was approximately $15,000 and $1.7 million, respectively. Such amounts are included within Accounts receivable, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Disaggregation of revenue

 

See Note 1113 - Segment Reporting for disaggregation of revenue.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Earnings per Common 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 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 June 30, 2018, 2019 and 20182017, there were outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire an aggregate of 2,662,7662,203,499 and 5,749,4332,662,766 shares of Company common stock,, respectively, which have a potentially dilutive impact on earnings per share. As of June 30, 2018,2019, 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 $1031.5,000 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the dilutive share instruments did not have an intrinsic value, as a result, were not included in the diluted share calculation. Dilution is not permitted if there is a net loss during the period. As such, the Company does not show dilutive earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Loan Fees and Other Deferred Costs

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 line-of-credit arrangements, 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 June 30, 2018, we had approximately $210,000 in unamortized loan fees and other deferred costs associated with the Loan and Security Agreement (the "2017 Credit Agreement") with East West Bank, a California banking corporation ("East West Bank"), recorded in Other Assets which we expect to charge to expense ratably over the three-year term of that agreement.

Derivative Instruments

 

From time to time, the Company has 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 fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and 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, 20182019 or December 31, 2017,2018, for trading purposes.

 

On 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 Assets and changes to the fair value are recorded to Other Income (Expense).

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. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement were recorded in earnings. The Company was not party to any derivative instruments as of December 31, 2017.Expense.

 

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.

 

9

Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as income taxOther expense. The Company files income tax returns in the United States and in the states in which it conducts its business operations. The Company’s United States federal income tax filings for tax years 20132015 through 20172018 remain open to examination. In general, the Company’s various state tax filings remain open for tax years 20132014 to 2017.2018.

 

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 have any transfers between hierarchy levels during the three and six monthsmonths ended JuneJune 30, 2018 2019or 2017, respectively.. 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 uses a Lattice model to determine the fair value of certain warrants. The expected term used was the remaining contractual term. Expected volatility is based upon historical volatility over a term consistent with the remaining term. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the yield on zero-coupon U.S. government securities with a remaining term equal to the contractual term of the warrants. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero.

 

The Company used the market-value of Company stock to determine the fair value of the performance-based restricted stock awarded in June 2018.2018 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 June 2018.2018 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, evaluation 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.

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

 

Business Combinations 

We recognize and measure the assets 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 a bargain purchase. For material acquisitions, management typically engages an independent valuation specialist to assist with the determination of fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interest, if any, and goodwill, based on recognized business valuation methodologies. If the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurs, an estimate will be recorded. Subsequent to the acquisition, and not later than one year from the acquisition date, we will record any material adjustments to the initial estimate based on new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition 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 and 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 market, with adjustments relating to any differences between the assets. The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a comparable asset at prices at the time of the acquisition reduced for depreciation of the asset. See Note 4 – Business Combinationsfor additional information regarding our business combinations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)”,2016-02, Leases, which requires a lessee to record a right-of-use assetintroduces the recognition of lease assets and a lease liability on the balance sheetliabilities by lessees for allthose leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement.leases under previous guidance. The new standardupdate is effective for fiscal yearsannual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Eitherreporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective transition approach for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning ofbasis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to ASC 842, Leases, which includes an option to not restate comparative period presentedperiods in transition and elect to use the financial statements, oreffective date of ASC 842, Leases, as the date of initial application of transition. Based on the effective date, the Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1, 2019 and elected the transition option provided under ASU 2018-11. This standard had a prospective approach recognizing the cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption is required. We continue to evaluate the impact of this new standardmaterial effect on our consolidated financial statements. Once adopted,balance sheet with the Company expects to recognize additionalrecognition of new right of use assets and lease liabilities for all operating leases, as these leases typically have a non-cancelable lease term of greater than one year. Upon adoption, both assets and liabilities on itsour consolidated balance sheet relatedsheets increased by approximately $2.4 million. The Company elected a package of transition practical expedients which include not reassessing whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, not reassessing the lease classification of expired or existing leases, and not reassessing initial direct costs for existing leases. 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.

Recently Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new revenue recognition guidance under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 that superseded the existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The new standard focuses on creating a single source of revenue guidance for revenue arising from contracts with customers for all industries. The objectiveor assessing impairment of the new standard isRight-of-Use (‘ROU”) assets. See Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies for companies to recognize revenue when it transfers the promised goods or services to its customers at an amount that represents what the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year (ASU 2015-14). This ASU is now effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Since the issuance of the original standard, the FASB has issued several other subsequent updates including the following: 1) clarification of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations (ASU 2016-08); 2) further guidance on identifying performance obligations in a contract as well as clarifications on the licensing implementation guidance (ASU 2016-10); 3) rescission of several SEC Staff Announcements that are codified in Topic 605 (ASU 2016-11); and 4) additional guidance and practical expedients in response to identified implementation issues (ASU 2016-12). The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, which recognizes the cumulative effect of application recognized on that date. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our consolidated financial statements; however, our footnote disclosure was expanded.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2016-15)”, that clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The guidance also clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new guidance effective on January 1, 2018 using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not result in any impact to the presentation of our statement of cash flows.information.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business," that clarifies the definition of a business. 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 has developed more stringent criteria for sets without outputs. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting," which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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. 

The following tables represent the consideration paid to the Seller and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

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.

Note 47 – Revolving Credit FacilitiesDebt

 

East West Bank Revolving Credit Facility
 
On August 10, 2017, we entered into the 2017 Credit Agreement, as amended, with East West Bank, which provides for a three-year $3037 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "New Credit"Credit Facility"). 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 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 are collected in bank-controlled lockbox accounts and credited to the New Credit Facility within one business day.

As of June 30, 2018, 2019, we had an outstanding principal loan balance under the 2017Credit AgreementFacility of approximately $21.7$31.9 million with a weighted average interest rates of 5.61%5.98% per year for $21.0$27.0 million of outstanding LIBOR Rate borrowings and 6.5%7.25% per year for the approximately $729,000$4.9 million of outstanding Prime Rate borrowings. As of June 30, 2018, 2019, we had borrowed approximately $7.4 million was$753,000 in excess of the maximum amount available to be drawn under the 2017Credit 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) Maintenance of a Fixed 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 is measured on a trailing twelve-month basis;
 
(2In periods when the trailing twelve-month FCCR is less than 1.20 to 1.00, we are required to maintain minimum liquidity of $1,500,000 (including excess availability under the 2017Credit AgreementFacility and balance sheet cash).
 

 

On August 10, 2017, an initial advance of approximately $21.8 million was made under the New Credit Facility to repay in full all obligations outstanding under our 2014 Credit Agreement described below, and to fund certain closing costs and fees. 

On November20,2017, we entered into a First Amendment and Waiver (the “Amendment and Waiver”) with respect to the 2017 Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment and Waiver, East West Bank waived an event of default with respect to the Company’s failure to satisfy the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio set forth in the 2017 Credit Agreement for the reporting period ended September 30, 2017 and permitted the Company to forego testing of its fixed charge coverage ratio as of October 31, 2017 and November 30, 2017.

As of June 30, 2018,2019, our available liquidity was approximately $7.6506,000 million,, which was substantially comprised of $7.4 million of availability under the 2017 Credit Agreement and approximately $235,000 in cash.

 

As of June 30, 2018,2019, we were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the 2017 Credit Agreement.

 

PNC Revolving Credit Facility

On March 31, 2017, we entered into the Tenth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the "2014 Credit Agreement") with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC") that among other things (i) required us to raise $1.5 million in subordinated debt or post a letter of credit in favor of PNC by March 31, 2017; (ii) raise an additional $1 million of subordinated debt by May 15, 2017; (iii) reduced the maturity date of the loan from September 12, 2019 to April 30, 2018; (iv) changed the definition of Adjusted EBITDA to include proceeds from subordinated debt; and (v) changed the calculation of fixed charge and leverage ratio from a trailing four-quarter basis to a quarterly build from the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

On March 31, 2017, our largest shareholder, Cross River Partners, L.P. ("Cross River"), whose general partner's managing member is the chairman of our Board of Directors, posted a letter of credit in the amount of $1.5 million in accordance with the terms of the Tenth Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement. 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 per share. On May 10, 2017, Cross River also provided $1.0 million in subordinated debt to us as required under the terms of our Tenth Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement. 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. On June 29, 2018 Cross River exercised both warrants and acquired 1,612,902 shares of our $0.005 par value common stock. Proceeds from the exercise of the warrants in the amount of $500,000 were used to reduce the subordinated debt balance.

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. The long-term portion of debt issuance costs of approximately $210,000152,000 and $232,000208,000 is included in Other Assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for June 30, 20182019, and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company amortized approximately $24,000 and $58,000, respectively, of these costs to Interest Expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company amortized approximately $24,000 and $47,000, respectively, of these costs to Interest Expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company amortized approximately $37,000 and $292,000 of these costs to Interest Expense. Due to the maturity date of the 2014 Credit Agreement moving from September 12, 2019 to April 30, 2018, the Company recognized an additional $217,000 of debt issuance amortization expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The Company's warrant liability was valued as a derivative instrument at issuance and using a combination of a Brownian Motion technique and a Lattice model, using observable market inputs and management judgment based on the following assumptions. On June 29, 2018, both warrants, entitling the Holder to acquire 1,612,902 shares of our $0.005 par value common stock were exercised, and proceeds in the amount of $500,000 were used to reduce the subordinated debt balance.

 

The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated using a 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 respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements, which we have concluded are not material to the valuation. Due to the interest rate swaps being unique and not actively traded, the fair value is 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 and 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, 2018,2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, the carrying 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 Company’s credit agreements are carried at cost which are approximately the fair value of the debt as the related interest rate are at the terms that approximate rates currently available to the 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, 20182019 and 2017..

Note 79 – 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 June 30, 20182019 and 20172018 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 2121%% and 34%, respectively 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately $32,000 related to state income taxes owed. During$314,000 and  $235,000, respectively, reduced the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $992,000.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation (the “Tax Act”), which significantly revises the ongoing U.S. corporate income tax law by lowering the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time tax on foreign unremitted earnings and setting limitations on deductibility of certain costs, among other things.

The Company is subject to the provisionsgross amount of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, which requires that the effect on deferred tax assetsasset and liabilitieswe reduced the valuation allowance by a like amount which resulted in a net tax provision of a change in tax rates be recognized in the period the tax rate change was enacted. Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the recently enacted Tax Act, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118 requires that the Company include in its financial statements the reasonable estimate of the impact of the Tax Act on earnings to the extent such estimate has been determined.

Pursuant to the SAB118, the Company is allowed a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. The final impact on the Company from the Tax Act’s transition tax legislation may differ from the aforementioned estimates due to the complexity of calculating and supporting with primary evidence such U.S. tax attributes such as accumulated foreign earnings and profits, foreign tax paid, and other tax components involved in foreign tax credit calculations for prior years back to 1998. Such differences could be material, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, future legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates or changes to estimates the Company has utilized to calculate the transition tax's reasonable estimate. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the U.S. Tax Act and will record any resulting tax adjustments during 2018.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 June 30, 2018,2019, the Company leases facilities and certain equipment under lease commitments that expire through JuneAugust 2022. 2026. Future minimum lease commitments for these operating lease commitments are as follows (in thousands):

Self-Insurance

 

In June 2015, the Company became self-insured under its Employee Group Medical Plan, and currently is responsible to pay the first $50,000 in medical costs per individual participant for claims incurred in the calendar year up to a maximum of approximately $1.8 million per year in the aggregate based on enrollment. The Company had an accrued liability of approximately $74$,00068,000 and $$60,000102,000 as of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively, for insurance claims that it anticipates paying in the future related to claims that occurred prior to June 30, 2018.2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Effective April 1, 2015, the Company had entered into a workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance policy with a term through March 31, 2018.  Under the terms of the policy, the Company was required to pay premiums in addition to a portion of the cost of any claims made by our employees, up to a maximum of approximately $1.8$1.8 million over the term of the policy (an amount that was variable with changes in annualized compensation amounts). As of June 30, 2018, 2019, a former employee of ours had an open claim relating to injuries sustained while in the course of employment, and the projected maximum cost of the policy as determined by the insurance carrier included estimated claim costs that have not yet been paid or incurred in connection with the claim. During the year ended December 31, 2017, our insurance carrier formally denied the workers' compensation claim and is movinghas moved to close the claim entirely. Per the terms of our insurance policy, through June 30, 2018, 2019, we had paid in approximately $1.8$1.8 million of the projected maximum plan cost of $1.8$1.8 million, and had recorded approximately $1.3$1.6 million as expense over the term of the policy. We recorded the remaining approximately $505,000$189,000 in payments made under the policy as a long-term asset, which we expect will either be recorded as expense in future periods, or refunded to us by the insurance carrier, depending on the outcome of the individual claim described above, and the final cost of any additional open claims incurred under the policy. As of June 30, 2018, 2019, we believe we have paid all amounts contractually due under the policy. Effective April 1, 2018,, we entered into a new workers’ compensation policy with a fixed premium amount determined annually, and therefore are no longer partially self-insured.self-insured for workers' compensation and employer's liability.

Litigation 

 

The CompanyEnservco and its subsidiary Heat Waves arewere defendants in a stayed 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 has been stayed pending a final resolution of an appeal byWaves prior to and through March 13, 2019.  Heat Waves dismissed its counterclaims against HOTF without prejudice in order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“Federal Circuit”) of a North Dakota Court’s ruling that the primary patent (“the ‘993 Patent”) inpreserve its defenses.

While the Colorado Case was invalid. Neither Enservco nor Heat Waves is a partypending, HOTF was issued two additional patents, which were related to the North Dakota Case, which involves other energy companies.

In‘993 and ‘875 Patents, but were not part of the Colorado Case.  However, in March of 2015, thea North Dakota Courtfederal court determined in an unrelated lawsuit (not involving Enservco or Heat Waves) that the ‘993 Patent was invalid. The same Courtcourt also later found that the ‘993 Patent was unenforceable due to inequitable conduct by the Patent Ownerpatent owner and/or the inventor. As noted above, the Patent Owner appealed these judgments to theThe Federal Circuit as well as several other adverse judgments and orders by the North Dakota Court.  On May 4, 2018,Court of Appeals later confirmed, among other things, the Federal Circuit, affirmed the North Dakota Court’s findingcourt’s findings of inequitable conduct with regard to the ‘993 Patent; agreed with the North Dakota jury’s finding that HOTF acted in bad faith in connection with a tortious interference claim; set aside the North Dakota Court’s denialconduct.  In light of the Energy Companies’ attorneys’ fees; and chose not to address the North Dakota Court’s finding of invalidity of the ‘993 Patent.  The case has been sent back to the North Dakota Court to determine the issue of the energy companies’ attorneys’ fees.  In July of 2018, HOTF requested that the three-judge panel of the Federal Circuit reconsider its May 4, 2018 judgement. On August 6, 2018 the Federal Circuit Court denied the HOTF request for a rehearing. In addition to the request made in July, HOTF can petition the U.S. Supreme Court or ask that these issues be heard by the entire bench of the Federal Circuit.

In September 2016 and February 2017, HOTF was issued two additional patents, both of which could be asserted against Enservco and/or Heat Waves.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 all of these Patents are ultimately held to be invalid and/or unenforceable, the Colorado Case would become moot.

In the event that HOTF ultimately succeeds after exhausting all appeals and the ‘993 Patent is found to be valid and/or enforceable, 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.

 

 

Note 911– Stockholders Equity

 

Warrants

 

In June 2016, the Company granted a principal of the Company’s investor relations firm warrants to acquire 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with a reduction of the firm's ongoing monthly cash service fees. The warrants had a grant-date fair value of $0.36 per share and vested over a one-year period, 15,000 on December 21, 2016 and 15,000 on June 21, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, 2019, all of these warrants remain outstanding and are exercisable until June 21, 2021 at $0.70 per share.

 

In June 2017, in connection with a subordinated loan agreement, the Company granted Cross River two five-year warrants to buy an aggregate total of 1,612,902 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share, the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 20-day period ended May 11, 2017. The warrants had a grant-date fair value of $0.19 per share and vested in full on June 28, 2017. These warrants were accounted for as a liability in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. On June 29, 2018 Cross River exercised both warrants and acquired 1,612,902 shares of our $0.005 par value common stock. Proceeds from the exercise of the warrants in the amount of $500,000 were used to reduce the subordinated debt balance. The warrants exercised had a total intrinsic value of approximately $1.4 million at the time of exercise.

Note 1012 – Stock Options and Restricted Stock

 

Stock Options

 

On July 27, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “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 June 30, 2018,2019, there were options to purchase 866,166574,666 shares outstanding under the 2010 Plan.

 

On July 18, 2016, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the adoption of the Enservco Corporation 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders on September 29, 2016. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted under the 2016 Plan is 8,000,000 shares plus authorized and unissued shares from the 2010 Plan totaling 2,391,711 for a total reserve of 10,391,711 shares. As of June 30, 2018,2019, there were options to purchase 1,766,6001,598,833 shares and we had granted restricted stock shares of 1,857,166 that remained outstanding under the 2016 Plan.Plan 

 

We have not granted any stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 or the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company granted options to acquire 2,171,600 shares of common stock.

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.

 

On June 14, 2018, the Company's Board of Director's granted 990,000 shares of restricted stock to the Company's employees. The awards had an aggregate grant-date fair value of approximately $1.1 million.

The broad geographical diversity of our operations which, while expected to diversify the risks related to a slow-down in one area of operations, also adds to our costs of doing business;

 

Our history of losses and working capital deficits which, at times, were significant;

 

Adverse weather and environmental conditions;

 

Our reliance on a limited number of customers;

 

Our ability to retain key members of our senior management and key technical employees;

The effect of further sales or issuances of our common stock and the price and volume volatility of our common stock.

 

Finally, our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those detailed in our filings with the SEC. For additional information regarding risks and uncertainties, please read our filings with the SEC under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.2018.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Executive Summary

 

The six months ended June 30, 2018 featured the continuation of positive trends we experienced through most of 2017. Overall demand for our services increased due to improved industry conditions in several of our heating markets compared to the same period in 2017.  In addition, we increased operations for our five largest customers that expanded our frac water heating business. We also continued to expand our water transfer business. Factors for our increased operations include increasing crude oil prices which led to increased activity by our customers and continued operation of our business development team driving new business and expanding services utilized by our existing customer base. Despite the increase in revenue resulting from these positive trends, we experienced various increases in costs (in certain cases, not related to the increase in activity) that had a negative impact on our profitability.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 20182019, increased $9.0approximately $5.2 million, or 43%19%, from the comparable period last year due to a 48%18% increase in our core well enhancementWell Enhancement revenue and a 19% increase in Water Transfer revenue.  HigherWell 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 $866,000 higher, or 82% 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.

 

ForSegment profits for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, segment profits2019, increased by approximately $2.7$1.2 million, or 17%, due to an increase in Well Enhancement service revenue without a corresponding increase in our fixed 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 expense, excluding severance and transition costs, increased by approximately $489,000, or 19%, year over year due primarily to an increase in revenue fromgeneral office expenses, including costs related to investment in our core well enhancement services.

Industry Overview

 

During 2018, improved commodity prices andthe six months ended June 30, 2019, WTI crude oil price averaged approximately $57 per barrel, versus an increaseaverage of approximately $65 per barrel in activethe comparable period last year. The North American rig count declined to 967 rigs in North America resulted in an increase in productionoperation as of June 30, 2019, compared to 1,047 at the same time a year ago.  Taking into account the lower oil price environment and completion activities by our customers, which led to an increase in demand for our services. Wereduced rig count, we believe current customer activity levels should support continued modest improvementcontinuation of demand for our services��if crude oil and natural gas prices remain in both metrics. The Company has reactedthe range of their current levels. We have responded to increases in demandthe current market dynamics by allocating resources to our most active customers and basins, as we focusbasins. We are focused on increasing utilization levels and optimizing the deployment of our equipment and workforce andwhile maintaining a high standards for service quality and safety record. The recent market recovery has also allowed us tosafe operations. We compete on the basis of the quality and breadth of our service offerings, as our customers focus on optimization in production.  

Crude oil prices and the North American rig count have increased since the low points in February 2016 and May 2016, respectively. The United States rig count bottomed out at approximately 400 in the spring of 2016 and increased to approximately 1,047 as of June 30, 2018, which resulted in increased activity for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017.offerings.

This segment, which accounted for 93% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019, increased $1.2$4.9 million, or 20%18%, to $7.0$31.2 million compared to $26.3 million in the same period last year. The increase in revenue primarily resulted from our increased capacity and customer base due to our acquisition of Adler.

Frac water heating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019, decreased approximately $815,000, or 25%, to $2.4 million compared to $3.2 million for the same quarter last year due to warmer temperatures during 2019 compared to the year-ago quarter. Frac water heating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019, increased $5.5 million, or 31%, to $23.1 million compared to $17.6 million for the same quarter last year.  Our acquisition of Adler allowed us to realize revenue from several customers we did not previously perform significant work for, and allowed us to increase services to other customers, particularly in the Bakken and D-J Basin. We also experienced increased demand in the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale locations in Pennsylvania.

Improved industry conditions including relatively stable commodity prices and increased drilling rig activity increased demand for our services. Particularly strong gains occurred from the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale formations in Pennsylvania, due to increased activity and colder temperatures as well as general industry activity in the region.

Hot oil revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased approximately $442,000, or 19%, compared to the same period in 2017. Hot oil revenues forduring the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased approximately $833,000, or 15%, compared2019. Both increases were primarily due to the same periodincrease in 2017. Hot oil service revenues from our expansion of servicefleet size and market share in the Eagle Ford combined with increased revenues inbasins we serve as a result of the DJ Basin and North Dakotaacquisition of Adler, as well as due to improved commodity prices were the primary reasons for the increases over last year.

Historical Seasonality of Revenues

 

Because of the seasonality of our frac water heating and, to a lesser extent, hot oiling business, revenues generated during the cooler first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year, covering the months duringconstitute our “heating season”, and are significantly higher than our revenues during the second and third quarters of our fiscal year. In addition, the revenue mix of our service offerings also changes outside our heating season as our Well Enhancement services (which includes frac water heating and hot oiling) typically decrease as a percentage of total revenues and our Water Transfer and Water Hauling services and other services increase.increase as a percentage of total revenue. Thus, the revenues recognized in our quarterly financial statements in any given period are not indicative of the annual or quarterly revenues through the remainder of that fiscal year.

 

As an indication of this quarter-to-quarter seasonality, the Company generated 69%75% of its 20172018 revenues during the first and fourth quarters compared to 31%25% during the second and third quarters of 2017.2018.

*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 requireswith 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.

 

Changes in Adjusted EBITDA*

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 20182019 decreased by approximately $61,000$1.6 million due primarily to variousthe decline in segment profit and increases in sales, general, and administrative costs (in certain cases, not related to the increase in activity) that had a negative impact on our profitability.discussed above. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30,, 2018 2019 increased by approximately $2.1 million, due$726,000 primarily due to the increaseimprovement in segment profits from well enhancement and water transfer servicesprofit, partially offset by the increaseincreases in sales, general, and administrative expensescosts discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity Update

As described in more detail in Note 47 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report, on August 10, 2017, we entered into the 2017 Credit Agreement, as amended, with East West Bank (the "New"2017 Credit Facility"Agreement") which provides for a three-year $30$37 million senior secured revolving credit facility to replace the Prior Credit Facility provided under the 2014 Credit Agreement with PNC.(the "Credit Facility"). 
 

As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had an outstanding principal loan balance under the Credit 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 7.25% 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 in compliance withrequired to immediately replay the borrowing excess. While we paid all covenants contained inof the 2017borrowing 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 and 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 $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 JuneJune 30, 20182019, we had approximately $235,000 in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $7.4 milliondid not have any capacity available under the New Credit Facility.Facility, however, subsequent to June 30, 2019, cash collections from our 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. 

 

 As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had an outstanding principal loan balance under the 2017 Credit Agreement of approximately $21.7$31.9 million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.80%5.98% per year for $21.0$27.0 million of outstanding LIBOR Rate borrowings (which includes the effect of our interest rate swap agreement described below) and 6.5%7.25% per year for the approximately $729,000$4.9 million of outstanding Prime Rate borrowings. The 2017 Credit Agreement allows us to borrow up to 85% of our eligible receivables and up to 85%85% of the appraised value of our eligible equipment. 

 

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 to theour 2014 Credit Agreement.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 $0.31 per share. On May 10, 2017, Cross River Partners, L.P. also provided $1$1.0 million in subordinated debt to us as required under the terms of the Tenth Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement. 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 Partners L.P. was granted a five-year warrant to purchase 645,161 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share. On June 29, 2018 Cross River exercised both warrants and acquired 1,612,902 shares of our common stock. Proceeds from the exercise of the warrants in the amount of $500,000 were used to reduce the subordinated debt balance.
 
 

 

 

 

Interest Rate Swap

 

On February 23, 2018, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with East West Bank (the "2018 Swap") in order to hedge against the variability in cash flows from future interest payments related to the New Credit Facility. 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 rate payment 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. 
 
On September 17, 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with PNC (the "2015 Swap") in order to hedge against

During the variability in cash flows from future interest payments related tothree months ended June 30, 2019, 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 an applicable margin ranging from 4.50% to 5.50% paid by us and a floating payment rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.50% to 5.50% paid by PNC.

The increasedecrease was attributable to (i) the decline in operating income and increase in interest expense described above, and a decrease in cash flows provided by the monetization of accounts receivable during the six months endedcurrent year period, partially offset by a decrease in cash flows related to the change in our accounts payable balance from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2018 compared to the comparable period in 2017, and (ii) the increase in net income related to improved operating results.2019.

Outlook:

 

We believe that the current oil and gas environment provides us an opportunity to increase our cash flows through the increased utilization of our asset base, due to industry dynamics and our focus on deploying our assets into areas where our services are in high demand. We have experienced an increase in such demand due to the increase and stability infairly stable oil and natural gas commodity prices from 2016 lows, and modest increases in the level of production and development activities across the industry. Our 2019 financial results, to date, in 2018 reflect our improved operational execution in response to this increased demand, and we are optimistic about the prospects for the remainder of 2018.2019 should oil and natural gas prices remain in their current range. Our long-term goals include driving increased utilization of our assets, thean optimized deployment of our fleet, and the right-sizing of our balance sheet by paying down debt. We continue to seek opportunities to expand our business operations through organic growth, including increasing the volume and scope of current services offered to our new and existing customers. 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 diversify and expand our customer 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 June 30, 20182019 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; 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.    

 

 

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

As of June 30, 2018,2019, 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. 

 

OurThere 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 2017 10-K.since December 31, 2018.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2018,2019, 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 June 30, 2018.2019.

 

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 Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

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 Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2018,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 stayed 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 has been stayed pending a final resolution of an appeal byWaves prior to and through March 13, 2019.  Heat Waves dismissed its counterclaims against HOTF without prejudice in order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“Federal Circuit”) of a North Dakota Court’s ruling that the primary patent (“the ‘993 Patent”) inpreserve its defenses.

While the Colorado Case was invalid. Neither Enservco nor Heat Waves is a partypending, HOTF was issued two additional patents, which were related to the North Dakota Case, which involves other energy companies.

In‘993 and ‘875 Patents, but were not part of the Colorado Case.  However, in March of 2015, thea North Dakota Courtfederal court determined in an unrelated lawsuit (not involving Enservco or Heat Waves) that the ‘993 Patent was invalid. The same Courtcourt also later found that the ‘993 Patent was unenforceable due to inequitable conduct by the Patent Ownerpatent owner and/or the inventor. As noted above, the Patent Owner appealed these judgments to theThe Federal Circuit as well as several other adverse judgments and orders by the North Dakota Court.  On May 4, 2018,Court of Appeals later confirmed, among other things, the Federal Circuit, affirmed the North Dakota Court’s findingcourt’s findings of inequitable conduct with regard to the ‘993 Patent; agreed with the North Dakota jury’s finding that HOTF acted in bad faith in connection with a tortious interference claim; set aside the North Dakota Court’s denialconduct.  In light of the Energy Companies’ attorneys’ fees; and chose not to address the North Dakota Court’s finding of invalidity of the ‘993 Patent.  The case has been sent back to the North Dakota Court to determine the issue of the energy companies’ attorneys’ fees. In July of 2018, HOTF requested that the three-judge panel of the Federal Circuit reconsider its May 4, 2018 judgement On August 6, 2018 the Federal Circuit denied the HOTF request for a rehearing. In addition to the request made in July, HOTF can petition the U.S. Supreme Court or ask that these issues be heard by the entire bench of the Federal Circuit.

In September 2016 and February 2017, HOTF was issued two additional patents, both of which could be asserted against Enservco and/or Heat Waves.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 all of these Patents are ultimately held to be invalid and/or unenforceable, the Colorado Case would become moot.

As noted above, the Colorado Case has been stayed.  However, in the event that HOTF ultimately succeeds after exhausting all appeals and the ‘993 Patent is found to be valid and/or enforceable, 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.
