INTRODUCTORY NOTE

 

Use of Terms 

 

In this report, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the "Company” refer to Victory Oilfield Tech, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

 

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements

 

We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This report contains a number of forward-looking statements that reflect management's current views and expectations with respect to business, strategies, future results and events and financial performance. All statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements that address operating performance, events or developments that management expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including statements related to revenues, cash flow, profitability, adequacy of funds from operations, statements expressing general optimism about future operating results and non-historical information, are forward looking statements. In particular, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements and their absence does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking.

 

Potential investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on management’s current expectations and projections about future events, are not guarantees of future performance, are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and apply only as of the date of this report. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and matters described in this report generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this report will in fact occur.

 

As expressly required by the federal securities laws, there is no undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. Potential investors should not make an investment decision based solely on our projections, estimates or expectations.

 

In particular, our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to continue as a going concern may be impacted by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

 

continued operating losses;

 

 

our ability to continue as a going concern;

 

 

the competitive nature of our industry;

 

 

downturns in the oil and gas industry, including the oilfield services business;

 

 

hazards inherent in the oil and natural gas industry;

 

 

our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or divestitures;

 

 

our ability to successfully integrate and manage businesses that we plan to acquire in the future;

 

 

our ability to grow our oilfield services business;

 

 

our dependence on key management personnel and technical experts;

 

 

the impact of severe weather;

 

 

our compliance with complex laws governing our business;

 

 

our failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations;

 

 

the impact of oilfield anti-indemnity provisions enacted by many states;

 

3


 

 

 

delays in obtaining permits by our future customers or acquisition targets for their operations;

 

 

our ability to obtain patents, licenses and other intellectual property rights covering our services and products;

 

 

our ability to develop or acquire new products;

 

 

our dependence on third parties; and

 

 

the results of pending litigation.

Victory Oilfield Tech, Inc.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Victory Oilfield Tech, Inc. ("Victory" or the "Company") is an Austin, Texas based publicly held company that is in the process of transitioning from an upstream oil and gas exploration and production company, into an oilfield energy-tech products company focused on improving well performance and extending the lifespan of the industry's most sophisticated and expensive equipment. 

 

Prior to entering into the Transaction Agreement and Divestiture Agreement described below, the Company had been focused on the acquisition and development of unconventional resource play opportunities in the Permian Basin, the Eagle Ford shale of south Texas and other strategically important areas that offer predictable economic outcomes and long-lived reserve characteristics. The Company's asset portfolio included both vertical and horizontal wells in prominent formations such as the Eagle Ford, Austin Chalk, Woodbine, Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Wolfberry, Mississippian, Cline, Fusselman and Ellenberger. As of August 21, 2017, the Company held a working interest in 30 completed wells located in Texas and New Mexico, predominantly in the Permian Basin of west Texas and the Eagle Ford area of south Texas.

 

Prior to the divestiture of Aurora Energy Partners, a two-member Texas partnership (“Aurora”), described below, all of the Company's oil and natural gas operations were conducted through, and the Company held all of our oil and natural gas assets through, the Company's 50% partnership interest in Aurora. Aurora was a consolidated subsidiary for financial statement purposes. Through the Company's partnership interest in Aurora, the Company was the beneficial owner of fifty percent (50%) of the oil and gas properties, wells and reserves held of record by Aurora. 

 

Following the Transaction Agreement and the divestiture of the Company's interests in Aurora, the Company has begun its transition into a technology driven oilfield services company offering patented oil and gas technology drilling products designed to improve oil and gas well drilling outcomes. The Company’s products can help achieve this goal by reducing drilling torque, friction, wear resistance, corrosion and other issues that occur during drilling and completion.

 

The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 7, 1982. The Company is authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. On December 19, 2017 the Company completed a 1-for-38 reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock. All information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflects the effect of the reverse stock split. The Company has 28,026,713 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2018. Our corporate headquarters are located at 3355 Bee Caves Rd. Ste. 608, Austin, Texas.

 

A summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements is set forth below.

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation: 

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2017 the financial statements were previously presented on a consolidated basis. Following the Divestiture of Aurora discussed above, which was completed on December 13, 2017, the Company does not have any subsidiaries. All operations are conducted by the Company.

 

Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used primarily when accounting for depreciation, taxes, accruals of capitalized costs, operating costs, general and administrative costs, interest, various common stock, warrants and option transactions, and loss contingencies.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

Other Property and Equipment:

 

Our office equipment in Austin, Texas is being depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 3 to 7 years.


9



Intangible Assets:


Our intangible assets are comprised of contract-based and marketing-related intangible assets. Our contract-based intangible assets include a sublicense agreement and a trademark license. The contract-based intangible assets have useful lives of 11.1 years to 15 years. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has not begun to use the economic benefits of the sublicense agreement and the trademark license and, accordingly, they were not amortized. The Company will begin to amortize the contract-based intangible assets using the straight-line amortization method over their respective remaining useful lives once it has begun to use their economic benefits. Our marketing related intangible assets include three non-compete agreements all of which have useful lives of 15 years. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has not begun to use the economic benefits of the non-compete agreements and, accordingly, they were not amortized. The Company will begin to amortize the marketing-related intangible assets using the straight-line amortization method over their respective remaining useful lives once it has begun to use their economic benefits. The remaining useful lives of intangible assets will be evaluated each reporting period. Intangible assets will be tested for impairment at least annually and upon a triggering event. The following table shows intangible assets and related accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Fair Value:

 

At June 30, 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of our financial instruments such as prepaid expenses and payables approximated their fair values based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of other liabilities approximated their fair values because the underlying interest rates approximated market rates at the balance sheet dates. Management believes that due to our current credit worthiness, the fair value of debt could be less than the book value. Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB"), Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, established a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring fair value. This framework defined three levels of inputs to the fair value measurement process and requires that each fair value measurement be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three broad levels of inputs defined by FASB ASC Topic 820 hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;

 

Leve1 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Leve1 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

Leve1 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (which might include the reporting entity’s own data).

 

Unamortized Discount:


Unamortized discount consists of value attributed to free standing equity instruments issued to the holders of affiliate note payable (see Note 5) and are amortized over the life of the related loans using a method consistent with the interest method. There was no amortization of debt discount for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Amortization of debt discount totaled $124,055 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and is included in interest expense in the statements of operations. The following table shows the discount and related accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Stock-Based Compensation:

 

The Company applies FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to account for the issuance of options and warrants to employees, key partners, directors, officers and Navitus Energy Group ("Navitus") investors. The standard requires all share-based payments, including employee stock options, warrants and restricted stock, be measured at the fair value of the award and expensed over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The fair value of options and warrants granted to employees, directors and officers is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model by using the historical volatility of our stock price. The calculation also takes into account the common stock fair market value at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected term of the common stock option or warrant, the dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate.

 

The Company from time to time may issue stock options, warrants and restricted stock to acquire goods or services from third parties. Restricted stock, options or warrants issued to third parties are recorded on the basis of their fair value, which is measured as of the date issued. The options or warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying equity instrument on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance, is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense from stock awards, warrants, and stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and third parties of $11,331,602 and $8,337 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $11,331,602 and $179,034 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Income Taxes: 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. Deferred tax assets include tax loss and credit carry forwards and are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. 

 

Earnings (loss) per Share:

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilutive effects of common stock equivalents such as options, warrants and convertible securities. Given the historical and projected future losses of the Company, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are considered anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 23,479,779 and 823,278 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and 14,756,246and 823,278 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

On May 17, 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting (clarifies Topic 718) Compensation Stock Compensation, such that an entity must apply modification accounting to changes in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award unless all of the following criteria are met: (1) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification and the ASU indicates that if the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique used to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the modification; and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the modification; the ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018. The Company expects the adoption of this ASU will only impact financial statements if and when there is a modification to share-based award agreements.


11


 

In January 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is deemed to be a business. Determining whether a transferred set constitutes a business is important because the accounting for a business combination differs from that of an asset acquisition. The definition of a business also affects the accounting for dispositions. Under ASU 2017-01, when substantially all of the fair value of assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset, or a group of similar assets, the assets acquired would not represent a business and business combination accounting would not be required. ASU 2017-01 may result in more transactions being accounted for as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017 and will apply the new guidance to applicable transactions going forward.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance regarding the accounting for leases. The guidance requires recognition of most leases on the balance sheet. The guidance requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance regarding several broad topics related to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018 and will apply the guidance to applicable transactions going forward.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding the accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. In April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016, FASB issued additional guidance, addressed implementation issues and provided technical corrections. The guidance may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach to adjust retained earnings (deficit). The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the financial statements. However, the Company currently has no revenue from contracts with customers.

 

Going Concern:

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As presented in the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses of $11,799,327 and $614,173 during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and net losses of $12,236,137 and $1,278,349 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Non-cash expenses and allowances were significant during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the net cash used in operating activities, or negative cash flows from operating activities, were $842,699 and $1,318,299, respectively. 

 

The cash proceeds from loans from affiliates and new contributions to the Aurora partnership by Navitus have allowed the Company to continue operations. Management anticipates that operating losses will continue in the near term until the Company begins to operate as a technology focused oilfield services company. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no significant capital expenditures.

 

12



On August 21, 2017, the Company entered into a transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Armacor Victory Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AVV”), pursuant to which AVV (i) granted to the Company a worldwide, perpetual, royalty free, fully paid up and exclusive sublicense to all of AVV’s owned and licensed intellectual property for use in the Oilfield Services industry, except for a tubular solutions company headquartered in France, and (ii) agreed to contribute to the Company $5,000,000 (the “Cash Contribution”), in exchange for which the Company issued 800,000 shares of its newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. To date, AVV has contributed a total of $255,000 to the Company. 


On April 10, 2018, the Company and AVV entered into a supplementary agreement (the “Supplementary Agreement”), pursuant to which the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was canceled and, in lieu thereof, the Company issued to AVV 20,000,000 shares (the “AVV Shares”) of its common stock. Under the terms of the Supplementary Agreement, so long as AVV is an affiliate of the Company, it shall not transfer or sell any securities of the Company that it holds, including the AVV Shares, except in accordance with the Company’s insider trading policy and subject to the terms of a lock up agreement. AVV must obtain the prior written consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to any transfer, assignment, sale, loan, short sale, giftover, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, exchange or other disposition of the AVV Shares or any other securities of the Company held by AVV other than sales of such AVV Shares or other securities in market transactions through the over-the-counter market or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s common stock then trades that are effected through broker-dealers who receive no more than customary commissions for effecting such sales. The Supplementary Agreement contains certain covenants by AVV, including a covenant that AVV will use its best efforts to help facilitate approval of a proposed $7 million private placement of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $0.75, which will include 50% warrant coverage at an exercise price of $0.75 per share (the “Proposed Private Placement”). AVV also covenants, among other things, to invest a minimum of $500,000 in the Proposed Private Placement.


On April 23, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Withdrawal with the Nevada Secretary of State to withdraw the designation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and return such shares to undesignated preferred stock of the Company.


On August 21, 2017, the Company entered into a loan agreement (as amended, the “VPEG Loan Agreement”) with Visionary Private Equity Group I, LP, a Missouri limited partnership (“VPEG”), pursuant to which VPEG loaned $500,000 to the Company. Such loan is evidenced by a secured convertible original issue discount promissory note issued by us to VPEG on August 21, 2017 (the “VPEG Note”). The VPEG Note reflects an original issue discount of $50,000 such that the principal amount of the VPEG Note is $550,000, notwithstanding the fact that the loan is in the amount of $500,000. The VPEG Note does not bear any interest in addition to the original issue discount, matures on September 1, 2017, and is secured by a security interest in all of the Company’s assets. On October 11, 2017, the Company and VPEG entered into an amendment to the VPEG Loan Agreement and VPEG Note, pursuant to which the parties agreed to (i) increase the loan amount to $565,000, (ii) increase the principal amount of the VPEG Note to $621,500, reflecting an original issue discount of $56,500 and (iii) extend the maturity date to November 30, 2017. On January 17, 2018, the Company and VPEG entered into a second amendment to the VPEG Loan Agreement and VPEG Note, pursuant to which the parties agreed (i) to extend the maturity date to a date that is five business days following VPEG’s written demand for payment on the VPEG Note; (ii) that VPEG will have the option but not the obligation to loan the Company additional amounts under the VPEG Note on the same terms upon the written request from the Company; and (iii) that, in the event that VPEG exercises its option to convert the note into shares of common stock at any time after the maturity date and prior to payment in full of the principal amount of the VPEG Note, the Company shall issue to VPEG a five year warrant to purchase a number of additional shares of common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon such conversion, at an exercise price of $1.52 per share, and containing a cashless exercise feature and such other provisions as mutually agreed to by the Company and VPEG. This loan provided short-term financing required for operating and transaction expenses.

On April 10, 2018, Victory and VPEG entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) VPEG released and discharged the Company from its obligations under the VPEG Loan Agreement and VPEG Note (the “VPEG Loan Documents”), (ii) the VPEG Loan Documents were terminated, and (iii) the Company and VPEG agreed to enter into a new debt agreement (described below) to satisfy the Company’s working capital needs pending consummation the Proposed Private Placement. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, and in consideration and full satisfaction of the outstanding indebtedness of $1,410,200 under the VPEG Loan Documents, the Company issued to VPEG (i) 1,880,267 shares of common stock (the “VPEG Shares”) and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase 1,880,267 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, which will contain a customary cashless exercise provision. If the actual price per share in the Proposed Private Placement is less than $0.75, the number of VPEG Shares will be adjusted upward proportionately, and the exercise price of the VPEG Warrants will be reduced, accordingly. The fair value of the shares of common stock issued was $5,640,801. The fair value of the warrants to purchase shares of common stock was $5,640,801.

On April 10, 2018, in connection with the Settlement Agreement, the Company and VPEG entered into a loan Agreement (the “New Debt Agreement”), pursuant to which VPEG may, in its sole discretion and upon written request from VPEG, loan to VPEG up to $2,000,000 upon the terms set forth therein. Any loan made pursuant to the New Debt Agreement will be evidenced by a secured convertible original issue discount promissory note (the “New Note”). The New Note will reflect a 10% original issue discount and will not bear any interest in addition to the original issue discount. The New Note will be secured by a security interest in all of the Company’s assets. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest upon the unpaid principal amount shall begin to accrue at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) eight percent (8%) per annum or (ii) the maximum interest rate allowed from time to time under applicable law, and shall continue at such default interest rate until the event of default is cured or full payment is made of the unpaid principal amount. Under the terms of the New Note, VPEG will have the right, exercisable at any time from and after the maturity date and prior to payment in full of the principal amount, to convert all or any portion of the principal amount then outstanding, plus all accrued but unpaid interest at the default interest rate into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.75 per share or, such lower price as shares of common stock are sold in the Proposed Private Placement. If VPEG exercises its right to convert the New Note into common stock, the Company will issue to VPEG on the date of such conversion a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon such conversion of the New Note, the terms of which shall be mutually agreeable to the parties; provided that the warrant shall have a five (5) year term and the exercise price shall be $0.75 per share (or such lower exercise price per share of common stock as may be afforded to investors in the Proposed Private Placement) with the ability of VPEG to exercise the warrant on a cashless basis. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has received $520,000 of loan proceeds under the New Debt Agreement.

 

The Company remains in active discussions with VPEG and others related to longer term financing required for capital expenditures planned for 2018. Without additional outside investment from the sale of equity securities and/or debt financing, capital expenditures and overhead expenses must be reduced to a level commensurate with available cash flows.

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not contain adjustments, including adjustments to recorded assets and liabilities, which might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 2  Discontinued Operations

 

On August 21, 2017, the Company entered into a divestiture agreement with Navitus, and on September 14, 2017, the Company entered into amendment no. 1 to the divestiture agreement (as amended, the “Divestiture Agreement”). Pursuant to the Divestiture Agreement, the Company agreed to divest and transfer its 50% ownership interest in Aurora to Navitus, which owned the remaining 50% interest, in consideration for a release from Navitus of all of the Company’s obligations under the second amended partnership agreement, dated October 1, 2011, between the Company and Navitus, including, without limitation, obligations to return to Navitus investors their accumulated deferred capital, deferred interest and related allocations of equity. The Company also agreed to (i) issue 4,382,872 shares of common stock to Navitus and (ii) pay off or otherwise satisfy all indebtedness and other material liabilities of Aurora at or prior to closing of the Divestiture Agreement. Closing of the Divestiture Agreement was completed on December 13, 2017.

 

The Divestiture Agreement contained usual pre- and post-closing representations, warranties and covenants. In addition, Navitus agreed that the Company may take any steps necessary to amend the exercise price of warrants issued to Navitus Partners, LLC to reflect an exercise price of $1.52. The Company also agreed to provide Navitus with demand registration rights with respect to the shares to be issued to it under the Divestiture Agreement, whereby the Company agreed to, upon Navitus’ request, file a registration statement on an appropriate form with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") covering the resale of such shares and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within one hundred twenty (120) days following such filing. The registration statement was filed on February 5, 2018 and amended on February 8, 2018. The Company has not yet amended the exercise price of warrants issued to Navitus Partners, LLC to reflect an exercise price of $1.52.

 

Closing of the Divestiture Agreement was subject to customary closing conditions and certain other specific conditions, including the following: (i) the issuance of 4,382,872 shares of common stock to Navitus; (ii) the payment or satisfaction by the Company of all indebtedness or other liabilities of Aurora, which total approximately $1.2 million; (iii) the receipt of any authorizations, consents and approvals of all governmental authorities or agencies and of any third parties; (iv) the execution of a mutual release by the parties; and (v) the execution of customary officer certificates by the Company and Navitus regarding the representations, warrants and covenants contained in the Divestiture Agreement. Consequently, the Company issued 4,382,872 shares of common stock to Navitus on December 14, 2017.

Note 3 - Acquisitions and Dispositions


The Company and Louise H. Rogers agreed, among other things, (i) to terminate the contingent promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 payable to Rogers that was issued by the Company in connection with the entry by Lucas Energy Inc. and the Company into the Pre-Merger Collaboration Agreement with Lucas Energy Inc., Navitus and AEP Assets, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aurora, (ii) that the Company would pay Rogers, on or before July 15, 2015, $258,125, and (iii) that Rogers’ legal counsel will hold the assignment of the Additional Penn Virginia Property and the Settlement Shares in escrow until such time as the payment of $258,125 is made by the Company to Rogers. Failure of the Company to make the payment of $258,125 on or before July 15, 2015, would result in the Company being in default under the Rogers Settlement Agreement and default interest on the amount due would begin to accrue at a per diem rate of $129.0625. Additionally, the Company acknowledged in the Amendment its obligation to pay Rogers’ attorney’s fees. The Company has not made any payments to Rogers pursuant to the Rogers Settlement Agreement and as a result the additional Penn Virginia Property was returned to Lucas in September 2015. The full amount due under the Roger’s obligation including accrued interest at June 30, 2018 totals $397,642 and is included in accrued liabilities on the balance sheets.

 

Note 4 Revolving Credit Agreement

 

On February 20, 2014, Aurora, as borrower, entered a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Texas Capital Bank (“the Lender”). Guarantors on the Credit Agreement are the Company and Navitus, the two partners of Aurora. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lender agreed to extend credit to Aurora in the form of (a) one or more revolving credit loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) and (b) the issuance of standby letters of credit, of up to an aggregate principal amount at any one time not to exceed the lesser of (i) $25,000,000 or (ii) the borrowing base in effect from time to time. The initial borrowing base on February 20, 2014 was set at $1,450,000. The borrowing base is determined by the Lender, in its sole discretion, based on customary lending practices, review of the oil and natural gas properties included in the borrowing base, financial review of Aurora, the Company and Navitus and such other factors as may be deemed relevant by the Lender. The borrowing base is re-determined (i) on or about June 30 of each year based on the previous December 31 reserve report prepared by an independent reserve engineer, and (ii) on or about August 31 of each year based on the previous June 30 reserve report prepared by Aurora’s internal reserve engineers or an independent reserve engineer and certified by an officer of Aurora. The Credit Agreement was to mature on February 20, 2017. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement bear interest at rates equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum rate of interest which may be charged or received by the Lender in accordance with applicable Texas law and (ii) the interest rate per annum publicly announced from time to time by the Lender as the prime rate in effect at its principal office plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin was, (i) with respect to Loans, one percent (1.00%) per annum, (ii) with respect to letter of credit fees, two percent (2.00%) per annum and (iii) with respect to commitment fees, one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum. Loans made under the Credit Agreement were secured by (i) a first priority lien in the oil and gas properties of Aurora, the Company and Navitus, and (ii) a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Aurora and its subsidiaries, if any, as well as in 100% of the partnership interests in Aurora held by the Company and Navitus. Loans made under the Credit Agreement to Aurora were fully guaranteed by the Company and Navitus.


15



On May 13, 2015, Aurora informed the Lender it would not make a required
$300,000 payment but was submitting the newly acquired five Eagle Ford wells as additional collateral to be considered and its willingness to execute mortgages regarding the properties to meet the deficiency.

 

On August 21, 2015, the Company executed a forbearance agreement whereby the Lender would forbear all existing events of default which includes all payments under the previously mentioned deficiency payments not yet paid under the April 13, 2015 redetermination date notification, as well as the late interest payments for June, July and August 2015, violations of Aurora financial covenants for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2015, and default notice for the late filing of March 31, 2015 financial reports. On August 26, 2015, the Company paid the Lender $76,081 to cover a portion of the deficiency payment, as well as a forbearance document fee and Lender's legal expenses, as required by the forbearance agreement, and the aforementioned forbearance agreement went into effect for the $260,000 remaining borrowing base deficiency payment. On August 31, 2015, the forbearance agreement terminated pursuant to its terms. The Company made a $50,000 principal payment to the Lender on October 14, 2015 as part of that plan.

 

On December 5, 2016, the Company entered into a new forbearance agreement to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, the Lender has agreed to forbear from exercising any of its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement until February 20, 2017 with respect to the historical events of default.


The forbearance period was amended and extended on March 2, 2017 and will end on the first to occur of the following: (i) the expiration of the amended forbearance period on August 20, 2017, (ii) a breach by Aurora or any guarantor of any of the conditions, covenants, representations and/or warranties set forth in the forbearance agreement, (iii) the occurrence of any new event of default under the Credit Agreement, (iv) the occurrence or threat of the occurrence of any enforcement action against Aurora or any guarantor by any of their creditors which, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, would materially interfere with the operation of Aurora’s or the guarantor’s business or the Lender’s ability to collect on the obligations due under the Credit Agreement, (v) the institution of any bankruptcy proceeding relating to Aurora or any guarantor, or (vi) the initiation by Aurora or any guarantor of any judicial, administrative or arbitration proceedings against the Lender. The Lender’s agreement to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies as a result of the existing events of default is subject to and conditioned upon the following: (i) the payment by Aurora to the Lender of at least $20,000 on or before the last business day of each calendar week occurring hereafter and (ii) the delivery by Aurora of such other documents, instruments and certificates as reasonably requested by Lender. This loan was repaid in full on August 22, 2017. The balance owed on the Credit Agreement was $0 and $254,500 as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.


Amortization of debt financing costs on this debt was $0 and $6,237 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Interest expense related to the Credit Agreement was $0 and $18,308 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Litigation


Legal Cases Pending 


Cause No. CV-47,230; James Capital Energy, LLC and Victory Energy Corporation v. Jim Dial, et al.; In the 142nd District Court of Midland County, Texas.


This is a lawsuit filed on or about January 19, 2010 by James Capital Energy, LLC and the Company against numerous parties for fraud, fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, trespass, conversion and a few other related causes of action. This lawsuit stems from an investment the Company entered into for the purchase of six wells on the Adams Baggett Ranch with the right of first refusal on option acreage.


On December 9, 2010, the Company was granted an interlocutory Default Judgment against Defendants Jim Dial, 1st Texas Natural Gas Company, Inc., Universal Energy Resources, Inc., Grifco International, Inc., and Precision Drilling & Exploration, Inc. The total judgment amounted to approximately $17,183,987.

 


18


 

The Company has added a few more parties to this lawsuit. Discovery is ongoing in this case and no trial date has been set at this time.


The Company believes they will be victorious against all the remaining Defendants in this case.


On October 20, 2011 Defendant Remuda filed a Motion to Consolidate and a Counterclaim against the Company. Remuda is seeking to consolidate this case with two other cases wherein Remuda is the named Defendant. An objection to this motion was filed and the cases have not been consolidated. Additionally, the Company does not believe that the counterclaim made by Remuda has any legal merit.


There was no further activity related to this case during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018


Legal Cases Settled


Cause No. 08-04-07047-CV; Oz Gas Corporation v. Remuda Operating Company, et al. v. Victory Energy Corporation.; In the 112th District Court of Crockett County, Texas. 


Plaintiff Oz Gas Corporation (“Oz”) filed a lawsuit in April 2008 against various parties for bad faith trespass, among other claims, regarding the drilling of two wells on lands that Oz claims title to. On November 18, 2009, the Company intervened in the lawsuit to protect its 50% interest in one of the named wells in the lawsuit (that being the 155-2 well located on the Adams Baggett Ranch in Crockett County, Texas).


This case was mediated, with no settlement reached. It went to trial February 8-9, 2012. The Court found in favor of Oz and rendered verdict against the Company and the other Defendants, jointly and severally. The Company appealed this case to the 8th Court of Appeals in El Paso, Texas where the Court of Appeals affirmed the verdict of the District Court and the Company filed a Motion for Rehearing, which was denied. The Company filed a Petition for Review in the Supreme Court of Texas on December 15, 2014, which was denied. The Company filed a Motion for Rehearing with the Supreme Court, which was denied.


A Settlement and Forbearance Agreement was entered into on March 22, 2016 between the parties wherein no further post-judgment discovery or collection efforts will be made by Oz, for $140,000 net of a $14,000 payment received by the Oz receiver (see next following Cause No. C-1-CV-16-001610), with monthly payments of $7,500 commencing April 15, 2016. The remaining balance was fully paid off during 2017, therefore there is no liability as of June 30, 2018.


Cause No. 2015-05280; TELA Garwood Limited, LP. v. Aurora Energy Partners, Victory Energy Corporation, Kenneth Hill, David McCall, Robert Miranda, Robert Grenley, Ronald Zamber, and Patrick Barry; In the 164th District Court of Harris County, Texas.


This lawsuit was filed on January 30, 2015 and supplemented on March 4, 2015. This lawsuit alleged breach of contract regarding a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "PSA") that TELA Garwood Limited, LP ("TELA") and Aurora Energy Partners entered into on June 30, 2014. A first closing was held on June 30, 2014 and a purchase price adjustment payment was made on July 31, 2014. Between these two dates Aurora paid TELA approximately $3,050,133. A second closing was to take place in September, however several title defects were found to exist. The title defects could not be cured and a purchase price reduction in relation to the title defects could not be agreed upon by the parties, and therefore, the second closing never took place. The Court granted Aurora's partial motions for summary judgment dismissing claims against Aurora and the Company's officers and directors, including Kenny Hill, David McCall, Robert Grenley, Ronald Zamber, Patrick Barry, and Fred Smith. The Court denied the remaining summary judgment issues of both parties. On June 2, 2016 Aurora and the Company filed a second Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on some discrete contract interpretation issues. The Court denied this motion on September 2, 2016.


On December 9, 2016, Aurora and the Company and TELA entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement in which Aurora agreed to pay TELA $320,000 (which is recorded in Accounts Payable as of December 31, 2016) and in turn each party agreed to release the other party from any matter relating to the PSA, the litigation or any claims that were or could have been brought in the litigation. In accordance with the Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement, Aurora made the full payment on February 1, 2017.

Note 8 - Subsequent Events

 

Pro-Tech Acquisition

 

On July 31, 2018, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Pro-Tech Hardbanding Services, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (“Pro-Tech”), and Stewart Matheson (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company purchased from the Seller 100% of Pro-Tech’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “Acquired Shares”). The closing of the Acquisition also occurred on July 31, 2018.

 

The aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Shares was $1,600,000 paid as follows: (i) $150,000 that was previously deposited into an escrow account was released to the Seller (the “Deposit”); (ii) $350,000 in cash (the “Cash Portion”); (iii) the modification of the named beneficiary of two life insurance policies for which the Seller is the named insured (the “Policies”), the aggregate value of which is approximately $118,000 as of the closing date, from Pro-Tech to a beneficiary other than Pro-Tech to be determined by the Seller; (iv) 11,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; (v) on the 60th day following the closing date, $300,000 in cash, to the extent that such amount of accounts receivable exist as of the closing date (the “Closing Receivables Payment”); and (vi) $700,000 in cash paid by the Company to the Seller over a period of two years following the closing in equal quarterly installments of $87,500 each, with the first such installment payable on October 31, 2018 and the last such installment payable on July 31, 2020 (the “Deferred Portion”), provided that upon a change of control of the Company, the Deferred Portion shall become immediately due and payable.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and includes a covenant that the Seller will not compete with the business of Pro-Tech for a period of five (5) years following the closing. The Purchase Agreement also contains mutual indemnification for breaches of representations or warranties and failure to perform covenants or obligations contained in the Purchase Agreement. The Seller’s indemnification obligations are limited to the sum of (i) the cash value of the Policies and (ii) to the extent actually paid to the Seller, the Deposit, the Cash Portion, the Closing Receivables Payment and the Deferred Portion.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on July 31, 2018, the Company also entered into a pledge and security agreement with Pro-Tech and the Seller (the “Security Agreement”), which grants to the Seller a first priority security interest in the assets of Pro-Tech (the “Collateral”) and the Acquired Shares, to secure the Company’s obligation to pay to the Seller the Closing Receivables Payment and the Deferred Portion. The Security Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. Any uncured default in the payment of the Closing Receivables Payment and the Deferred Portion in accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement constitutes an event of default under the Security Agreement, the occurrence and continuation of which provides the Seller with certain rights and remedies, including the right to: (i) make such payments and do such acts as the Seller reasonably considers necessary to protect his security interest in the Collateral; (ii) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale and sell the Collateral; and (iii) sell the Acquired Shares or the Collateral.

 

Kodak Loan

 

On July 31, 2018, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Kodak Loan Agreement”) with Kodak Brothers Real Estate Cash Flow Fund, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Kodak”), pursuant to which the Company borrowed from Kodak $375,000 (the “Kodak Loan”) to fund payment for the acquisition of Pro-Tech. The Kodak Loan is evidenced by a secured convertible promissory note, dated July 31, 2018 (the “Kodak Note”), in the principal amount of $375,000, which shall accrue interest at an annual rate of 10% and has a maturity date of March 31, 2019. Provided that the Company is not in default under the Kodak Note or the Kodak Loan Agreement, it may extend the maturity date to June 30, 2019 so long as the Company pays to Kodak a $9,375 extension fee. Under the Kodak Loan Agreement, the Company issued to an affiliate of Kodak a five year warrant to purchase 375,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.75 per share, which includes a cashless exercise provision.


20



The terms of the Kodak Note provide that the Company will pre-pay (i), upon the closing of the Pro-Tech acquisition, the interest due for the period from the closing date through December 31, 2018 in the amount of $15,625; (ii) on or before January 10, 2019, the interest due for the period from January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 in the amount of $9,375; and (iii) in the event the Company extends the maturity date, on or before April 10, 2019, the interest due for the period from April 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 in the amount of $9,375.   

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Kodak Note, at any time from and after the maturity date and prior to payment in full of the principal amount, Kodak may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount plus all accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share or such lower price as shares of the Company’s common stock are sold to investors in the current, ongoing $7 million private placement, subject to certain adjustments. If Kodak elects to convert the Kodak Note into shares of common stock, the Company will issue to Kodak a five year warrant to purchase the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Kodak Note, at an exercise of $0.75 per share, including a cashless exercise provision, and upon such other terms as are mutually agreeable to the parties.

 

The Kodak Note contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which will cause the interest rate on the unpaid principal to increase to the lesser of: (i) 12% per annum; or (ii) the maximum interest rate permitted under applicable law.

 

On July 31, 2018, in connection with the Kodak Loan Agreement, Pro-Tech and Kodak entered into a guaranty and security agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”), pursuant to which the Kodak Note is guaranteed by Pro-Tech and is secured by (i) a first priority interest in all of the assets of the Company, excluding the Acquired Shares and the Collateral, such first priority interest being pari passu with a prior security interest granted by the Company to VPEG under the New Debt Agreement; and (ii) a second priority interest in the Acquired Shares and the Collateral, such security interest being subordinated to the first priority lien on the Acquired Shares and the Collateral granted to the Seller under the Security Agreement.

 

On July 31, 2018, in connection with the Kodak Loan, the Company entered in an intercreditor agreement with Pro-Tech, Kodak, VPEG and the Seller (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) VPEG agreed that, notwithstanding its automatic security interest in all the assets of the Company, including after-acquired assets, granted under the New Debt Agreement, it will relinquish any claim it may have to a security interest in the Acquired Shares and the Collateral; (ii) VPEG agreed that Kodak’s security interest in the assets of the Company, excluding the Acquired Shares and the Collateral, is pari passu with VPEG’s security interest in such assets of the Company; and (iii) Kodak’s security interest in the Acquired Shares and the Collateral is subordinated to the Seller’s security interest in the Acquired Shares and the Collateral.

 

Loans under New Debt Agreement

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2018, the Company has received loan proceeds of $145,000 from VPEG under the New Debt Agreement.

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

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. See “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above. 

 

General Overview

 

We are an Austin, Texas based publicly held oilfield energy-tech products company focused on improving well performance and extending the lifespan of the industry’s most sophisticated and expensive equipment. America’s resurgence in oil and gas production is largely driven by new innovative technologies and processes as most dramatically and recently demonstrated by fracking. We exclusively license intellectual property related to amorphous metal alloys for use in the global oilfield services industry. Our patented products utilize amorphous coatings designed to cost effectively reduce drill-string torque, friction, wear and corrosion, while protecting the integrity of the base metal. Current coating products include solutions for drill-pipe and hardbanding, however the technology is extendible to other metal components such as frac pump plunger rods, mud pump extension rods, gate valves, drill string torque reducers, pump impellers, stabilizers, wear sleeves and a host of other items used in the drilling and completion process. This technology platform provides significant opportunity for us to expand our product line to meet the additional needs of our exploration and production customers. Amorphous alloys are mechanically stronger, harder and more corrosion resistant than typical crystalline structure alloys found in the market today. This combination of characteristics creates opportunities for drillers to dramatically improve lateral drilling lengths, well completion time and total well costs. Our innovative, ruggedized, RFID enclosure allows assets tracking and optimization of production tubing in harsh environments and enables related and potentially valuable data services.

 

Prior to entering into the transaction agreement and divestiture agreement described below, we had been focused on the acquisition and development of unconventional resource play opportunities in the Permian Basin, the Eagle Ford shale of south Texas and other strategically important areas that offer predictable economic outcomes and long-lived reserve characteristics. Our asset portfolio included both vertical and horizontal wells in prominent formations such as the Eagle Ford, Austin Chalk, Woodbine, Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Wolfberry, Mississippian, Cline, Fusselman and Ellenberger. As of August 21, 2017, we held a working interest in 30 completed wells located in Texas and New Mexico, predominantly in the Permian Basin of west Texas and the Eagle Ford area of south Texas.

 

Prior to the divestiture described below, all of our oil and natural gas operations were conducted through Aurora Energy Partners, a two-member Texas partnership (“Aurora”). We held all of our oil and natural gas assets through our 50% partnership interest in Aurora. Aurora was a consolidated subsidiary with the Company for financial statement purposes. Through our partnership interest in Aurora, we were the beneficial owner of fifty percent (50%) of the oil and gas properties, wells and reserves held of record by Aurora, which was established in January 2008.  The second partner in Aurora was Navitus Energy Group, a Texas general partnership that included four members (“Navitus”).

 

On August 21, 2017, we entered into a transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Armacor Victory Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AVV”), pursuant to which AVV (i) granted to us a worldwide, perpetual, royalty free, fully paid up and exclusive sublicense to all of AVV’s owned and licensed intellectual property for use in the oilfield services industry, except for a tubular solutions company headquartered in France, and (ii) agreed to contribute to us $5,000,000, in exchange for which we issued 800,000 shares of our newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, constituting approximately 90% of our issued and outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis and after giving effect to the issuance of the shares and other securities being issued as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. The closing of the Transaction Agreement also occurred on August 21, 2017. AVV contributed a total of $255,000 to the Company but did not make the entire cash contribution. The Liquidmetal - Armacor product line has been widely down-hole tested by several large U.S. based oil and gas companies, many of which are also providing feedback for additional product line development and innovative uses.

 

On April 10, 2018, we entered into a supplementary agreement with AVV (the “Supplementary Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was canceled and, in lieu thereof, we issued 20,000,000 shares of common stock to AVV. The Supplementary Agreement contains certain covenants by AVV, including a covenant that AVV will use its best efforts to help facilitate approval of a proposed $7 million private placement of our common stock at a price per share of $0.75, which will include 50% warrant coverage at an exercise price of $0.75 per share (the “Proposed Private Placement”) and invest a minimum of $500,000 in the Proposed Private Placement. 

 

22



On August 21, 2017, we also entered into a divestiture agreement with Navitus, and on September 14, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the divestiture agreement (the “Divestiture Agreement”). Pursuant to the Divestiture Agreement, we agreed to divest and transfer our 50% ownership interest in Aurora to Navitus, which owned the remaining 50% interest, in consideration for a release from Navitus of all of our obligations under the second amended partnership agreement, dated October 1, 2011, between us and Navitus, including, without limitation, obligations to return to Navitus investors their accumulated deferred capital, deferred interest and related allocations of equity. We also agreed to (i) issue 4,382,872 shares of our common stock to Navitus and (ii) pay off or otherwise satisfy all indebtedness and other material liabilities of Aurora at or prior to closing of the Divestiture Agreement. Closing of the Divestiture Agreement was completed on December 13, 2017.

 

Following the Transaction Agreement and the divestiture of our interests in Aurora, we have begun our transition into a technology driven oilfield services company offering patented oil and gas technology drilling products designed to improve oil and gas well drilling outcomes. Our products can help achieve this goal by reducing drilling torque, friction, wear resistance, corrosion and other issues that occur during drilling and completion. Our core products will be developed around amorphous alloy technology originally invented by NASA. Amorphous alloys are mechanically stronger and less susceptible to corrosion and wear, because they do not have naturally occurring weak regions or break points of crystalline atomic structure. Metals lacking a crystalline structure possess superior corrosion resistance, hardness, strength and a lower friction coefficient.

 

We will initially embark on a U.S. oilfield services company acquisition initiative, aimed at companies which are already using one or more of the Armacor® brand of Liquidmetal® Coatings Products and/or which are recognized as a high-quality services provider to strategic customers in the major North American oil and gas basins. When completed, we expect that each of these oilfield services company acquisitions will provide immediate revenue from their current regional customer base, while also providing us with a foundation for channel distribution and product development of our amorphous alloy technology products. We intend to grow each of these established oilfield services companies by providing better access to capital, more disciplined sales and marketing development, integrated supply chain logistics and infrastructure build out that emphasizes outstanding customer service and customer collaboration, future product development and planning.

 

We believe that a well-capitalized technology-enabled oilfield services business, with ownership of a worldwide, perpetual, royalty free, fully paid up and exclusive license and rights to all future Liquidmetal® Coatings oil and gas product innovations, will provide the basis for more accessible financing to grow the company and execute our oilfield services company acquisitions strategy. This patent protected intellectual property helps create a meaningfully differentiated oilfield services business, with little effective competition. The combination of friction reduction, torque reduction, reduced corrosion, wear and better data collection from the deployment of our ruggedized RFID enclosures, only represent our initial product line. We anticipate new innovative products will come to market as we collaborate with drillers to solve their other down-hole needs.


Recent Developments

 

Pro-Tech Acquisition

 

On July 31, 2018, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Pro-Tech Hardbanding Services, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (“Pro-Tech”), and Stewart Matheson (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company purchased from the Seller 100% of Pro-Tech’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “Acquired Shares”).  The closing of the Acquisition also occurred on July 31, 2018.

 

The aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Shares was $1,600,000 paid as follows: (i) $150,000 that was previously deposited into an escrow account was released to the Seller (the “Deposit”); (ii) $350,000 in cash (the “Cash Portion”); (iii) the modification of the named beneficiary of two life insurance policies for which the Seller is the named insured (the “Policies”), the aggregate value of which is approximately $118,000 as of the closing date, from Pro-Tech to a beneficiary other than Pro-Tech to be determined by the Seller; (iv) 11,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; (v) on the 60th day following the closing date, $300,000 in cash, to the extent that such amount of accounts receivable exist as of the closing date (the “Closing Receivables Payment”); and (vi) $700,000 in cash paid by the Company to the Seller over a period of two years following the closing in equal quarterly installments of $87,500 each, with the first such installment payable on October 31, 2018 and the last such installment payable on July 31, 2020 (the “Deferred Portion”), provided that upon a change of control of the Company, the Deferred Portion shall become immediately due and payable.  

 

23


 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and includes a covenant that the Seller will not compete with the business of Pro-Tech for a period of five (5) years following the closing.  The Purchase Agreement also contains mutual indemnification for breaches of representations or warranties and failure to perform covenants or obligations contained in the Purchase Agreement.  The Seller’s indemnification obligations are limited to the sum of (i) the cash value of the Policies and (ii) to the extent actually paid to the Seller, the Deposit, the Cash Portion, the Closing Receivables Payment and the Deferred Portion.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on July 31, 2018, the Company also entered into a pledge and security agreement with Pro-Tech and the Seller (the “Security Agreement”), which grants to the Seller a first priority security interest in the assets of Pro-Tech (the “Collateral”) and the Acquired Shares, to secure the Company’s obligation to pay to the Seller the Closing Receivables Payment and the Deferred Portion. The Security Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. Any uncured default in the payment of the Closing Receivables Payment and the Deferred Portion in accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement constitutes an event of default under the Security Agreement, the occurrence and continuation of which provides the Seller with certain rights and remedies, including the right to: (i) make such payments and do such acts as the Seller reasonably considers necessary to protect his security interest in the Collateral; (ii) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale and sell the Collateral; and (iii) sell the Acquired Shares or the Collateral.

 

Kodak Loan

 

On July 31, 2018, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Kodak Loan Agreement”) with Kodak Brothers Real Estate Cash Flow Fund, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Kodak”), pursuant to which the Company borrowed from Kodak $375,000 (the “Kodak Loan”) to fund payment for the acquisition of Pro-Tech.  The Kodak Loan is evidenced by a secured convertible promissory note, dated July 31, 2018 (the “Kodak Note”), in the principal amount of $375,000, which shall accrue interest at an annual rate of 10% and has a maturity date of March 31, 2019.  Provided that the Company is not in default under the Kodak Note or the Kodak Loan Agreement, it may extend the maturity date to June 30, 2019 so long as the Company pays to Kodak a $9,375 extension fee.  Under the Kodak Loan Agreement, the Company issued to an affiliate of Kodak a five-year warrant to purchase 375,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.75 per share, which includes a cashless exercise provision.

 

The terms of the Kodak Note provide that the Company will pre-pay (i), upon the closing of the Pro-Tech acquisition, the interest due for the period from the closing date through December 31, 2018 in the amount of $15,625; (ii) on or before January 10, 2019, the interest due for the period from January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 in the amount of $9,375; and (iii) in the event the Company extends the maturity date, on or before April 10, 2019, the interest due for the period from April 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 in the amount of $9,375.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Kodak Note, at any time from and after the maturity date and prior to payment in full of the principal amount, Kodak may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount plus all accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share or such lower price as shares of the Company’s common stock are sold to investors in the current, ongoing $7 million private placement, subject to certain adjustments. If Kodak elects to convert the Kodak Note into shares of common stock, the Company will issue to Kodak a five-year warrant to purchase the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Kodak Note, at an exercise of $0.75 per share, including a cashless exercise provision, and upon such other terms as are mutually agreeable to the parties.

 

The Kodak Note contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which will cause the interest rate on the unpaid principal to increase to the lesser of: (i) 12% per annum; or (ii) the maximum interest rate permitted under applicable law.

 

On July 31, 2018, in connection with the Kodak Loan Agreement, Pro-Tech and Kodak entered into a guaranty and security agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”), pursuant to which the Kodak Note is guaranteed by Pro-Tech and is secured by (i) a first priority interest in all of the assets of the Company, excluding the Acquired Shares and the Collateral, such first priority interest being pari passu with a prior security interest granted by the Company to Visionary Private Equity Group I, LP, a Missouri limited partnership (“VPEG”); and (ii) a second priority interest in the Acquired Shares and the Collateral, such security interest being subordinated to the first priority lien on the Acquired Shares and the Collateral granted to the Seller under the Security Agreement.  

 

On July 31, 2018, in connection with the Kodak Loan, the Company entered in an intercreditor agreement with Pro-Tech, Kodak, VPEG and the Seller (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) VPEG agreed that, notwithstanding its automatic security interest in all the assets of the Company, including after-acquired assets, it will relinquish any claim it may have to a security interest in the Acquired Shares and the Collateral; (ii) VPEG agreed that Kodak’s security interest in the assets of the Company, excluding the Acquired Shares and the Collateral, is pari passu with VPEG’s security interest in such assets of the Company; and (iii) Kodak’s security interest in the Acquired Shares and the Collateral is subordinated to the Seller’s security interest in the Acquired Shares and the Collateral.

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared as if we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As presented in the financial statements, we have incurred losses of $11,799,327 and $614,173 during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and net losses of $12,236,137 and $1,278,349 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

The cash proceeds from loans from affiliates and new contributions to the Aurora partnership by Navitus have allowed us to continue operations. We anticipate that operating losses will continue in the near term until we begin to operate as a technology focused oilfield services company.

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared as if we will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not contain adjustments, including adjustments to recorded assets and liabilities, which might be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Factors affecting Financial Reporting of our General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our historical general and administrative expenses included in our results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable, either from period to period or going forward, for the following reasons: 

 

Growth-in-business related general expenses

 

We anticipate that costs related to our transition to an oilfield service business will be significant. We have incurred significant costs to structure and manage our debt facility and will continue to incur such costs until our asset base allows for prudent borrowing. These costs can fluctuate as debt instruments are ended, modified and replaced with new creditor entities.

 

We have incurred director, employee, and vendor stock based compensation, all non-cash in nature, as part of our key employee acquisition and retention plan. As we grow, we need to add new talent and incentivize our current key employees to stay with the Company. The Victory Energy Corporation 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, approved by our shareholders in November 2017, was a key element of the platform to fulfill this need. Among other things, the Company incurred SEC related legal expenses as part of this plan and shareholder vote. Stock grants and multi-year stock option award based compensation is now a fundamental part of the Company’s key-employee retention plan. 


Public Company Expenses


We incur direct, incremental general and administrative expenses as a result of being a publicly traded company, including but not limited to, increased scope of operations as we evaluate potential acquisitions, corporate structure planning, implementation of stock based compensation programs to attract and retain talent, periodic public reporting to shareholders, tax consulting, independent auditor fees, legal fees, investor relations activities, registrar and transfer fees, director and officer liability insurance, and director compensation. In some cases, our small reporting company status will make key acquisitions and divestitures fall into “significant” status. This requires us to perform a series of financial accounting and reporting processes and filings. As we grow, these transactions will become a smaller part of our overall size, and may no longer be required.

General and administrative: General and administrative expenses increased by $11,257,999, or 2,191%, to $11,771,825 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $513,826 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase is primarily due to the settlement of a note payable - affiliate (VPEG). The note payable - affiliate (VPEG) was converted into common stock and warrants and was recorded as $11,281,602 of stock based compensationSee “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for information regarding the settlement of this note.


Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization decreased by $7,583, or 98%, to $119 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $7,702 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Depreciation expense was higher during the three months ended June 30, 2017 due to adjustments. 


Interest expense: Interest expense decreased by $34,889, or 35%, to $63,744 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $98,633 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Interest expense was lower during the three months ended June 30, 2018 due to the lower overall carrying value of interest bearing debt. 


Tax benefit: There is no tax benefit recorded for either the three months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017 due to the net operating losses ("NOL") of both periods. The realization of future tax benefits is dependent on our ability to generate taxable income within the NOL carry forward period. Given our history of net operating losses, management has determined that it is more-likely-than-not we will not be able to realize the tax benefit of the carry forwards. Current standards require that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.


26



Loss from continuing operations: Loss from continuing operations increased by $11,215,527, or 1,808%, to $11,835,688 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from a loss of $620,161 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase is primarily due to higher general and administrative costs.


Income from discontinued operations: Income from discontinued operations increased by $30,373, or 507%, to $36,361 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $5,988 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The income from discontinued operations in both periods is due to the divestiture of our 50% interest in the Aurora partnership.

General and administrative: General and administrative expenses increased by $11,127,893or 1,039%, to $12,199,212 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $1,071,319 for the six months ended June 30, 2017The increase is primarily due to the settlement of a note payable - affiliate (VPEG). The note payable - affiliate (VPEG) was converted into common stock and warrants and was recorded as $11,281,602 of stock based compensationSee “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for information regarding the settlement of this note.


Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization decreased by $9,006, or 97%, to $312 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $9,318 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Depreciation was higher during the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to adjustments.


Interest expense: Interest expense decreased by $65,931, or 35%, to $122,060 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $187,991 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Interest expense was lower during the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to the lower overall carrying value of interest bearing debt.


Tax benefit: There is no tax benefit recorded for either the six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017 due to the NOL of both periods.


Loss from continuing operations: Loss from continuing operations increased by $11,052,956, or 871%, to $12,321,584 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from a loss of $1,268,628 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to higher general and administrative costs.


Income from discontinued operations: Income from discontinued operations increased by $95,168, or 979%, to $85,447 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from a loss of $9,721 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The income (loss) from discontinued operations in both periods is due to the divestiture of our 50% interest in the Aurora partnership.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $842,699 after the net loss of $12,236,137 was decreased by $11,331,914 in non-cash charges and $61,524 in changes to other operating assets and liabilities. This compares to cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of $1,318,299 after the net loss of $1,278,349 was decreased by $371,626 in in non-cash charges and increased by $411,576 in changes to other operating assets and liabilities.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $851,837 and primarily relates to proceeds from note payable- affiliate. This compares to net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of $1,309,000 which included $1,305,000 of contributions from Navitus and debt financing proceeds-affiliate of $320,000 which were partially offset by $316,000 of principal payments on debt financing.

 

On February 1, 2017, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with VPEG, pursuant to which VPEG agreed to purchase a unit comprised of (i) $320,000 principal amount of 12% unsecured six-month promissory note with a maturity date of the earlier of six months from the date of the note or the date we consummate a material business combination transaction, and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 136,928 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.51 per share. On August 21, 2017, in connection with the Transaction Agreement, we entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with VPEG, pursuant to which all of our obligations to VPEG to repay indebtedness for borrowed money (other than the note described below), which totaled approximately $873,409.64, including all accrued, but unpaid, interest thereon, was converted into 110,000.472149068 shares of our newly designated Series C Preferred Stock. Some of our obligations to VPEG arose pursuant to this securities purchase agreement. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the twelve percent (12%) unsecured six-month promissory note was repaid in full and terminated, but VPEG retained the common stock purchase warrant. On January 24, 2018, these shares of Series C Preferred Stock were automatically converted into 574,612 shares of our common stock.

On August 21, 2017, in connection with the Transaction Agreement, we entered into a loan agreement with VPEG, pursuant to which VPEG loaned $500,000 to us. Such loan was evidenced by a secured convertible original issue discount promissory note issued by us to VPEG on August 21, 2017. The note reflected an original issue discount of $50,000 such that the principal amount of the note was $550,000, notwithstanding the fact that the loan was in the amount of $500,000. The note did not bear any interest in addition to the original issue discount, was to mature on September 1, 2017, and was secured by a security interest in all of our assets. On October 11, 2017, we and VPEG entered into an amendment to the loan agreement and note, pursuant to which the parties agreed to (i) increase the loan amount to $565,000, (ii) increase the principal amount of the note to $621,500, reflecting an original issue discount of $56,500 and (iii) extend the maturity date to November 30, 2017. On January 17, 2018, we and VPEG entered into a second amendment to the loan agreement and note, pursuant to which the parties agreed (i) to extend the maturity date to a date that is five business days following VPEG’s written demand for payment on the note; (ii) that VPEG will have the option but not the obligation to loan us additional amounts under the note on the same terms upon the written request from us; and (iii) that, in the event that VPEG exercises its option to convert the note into shares of our common stock at any time after the maturity date and prior to payment in full of the principal amount of the note, we shall issue to VPEG a five year warrant to purchase a number of additional shares of common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon such conversion, at an exercise price of $1.52 per share, and containing a cashless exercise feature and such other provisions as mutually agreed to by us and VPEG.

 

On April 10, 2018, we and VPEG entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release, pursuant to which (i) VPEG agreed to release and discharge the Company from its obligations under the loan agreement and note, (ii) the loan agreement and note were terminated, and (iii) the parties agreed to enter into a new debt arrangement (described below) to satisfy our working capital needs. Pursuant to the settlement agreement and mutual release, and in consideration and full satisfaction of the outstanding indebtedness of $1,410,200 under the loan agreement and note, we issued to VPEG (i) 1,880,267 shares of our common stock and (ii) a five-year warrant to purchase 1,880,267 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and containing a customary cashless exercise provision. If the actual price per share in the Proposed Private Placement is less than $0.75, then the number of shares will be adjusted upward proportionately, and the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced, accordingly. The fair value of the shares of common stock issued was $5,640,801. The fair value of the warrants to purchase shares of common stock was $5,640,801. 

 

On April 10, 2018, in connection with the settlement agreement and mutual release, we entered into a loan agreement with VPEG, pursuant to which VPEG may, in its sole discretion and upon written request from us, loan to us up to $2,000,000 upon the terms set forth therein. Any loan made pursuant to the loan agreement will be evidenced by a secured convertible original issue discount promissory note, which will reflect a 10% original issue discount and will not bear any interest in addition to the original issue discount. The note will be secured by a security interest in all of our assets and contain standard events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest upon the unpaid principal amount shall begin to accrue at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) eight percent (8%) per annum or (ii) the maximum interest rate allowed from time to time under applicable law, and shall continue at such default interest rate until the event of default is cured or full payment is made of the unpaid principal amount. Under the terms of the note, VPEG will have the right, exercisable at any time from and after the maturity date and prior to payment in full of the principal amount, to convert all or any portion of the principal amount then outstanding, plus all accrued but unpaid interest at the default interest rate, into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.75 per share or, such lower price as shares of common stock are sold in the Proposed Private Placement. If VPEG exercises its right to convert the note into common stock, we will issue to VPEG on the date of such conversion a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon such conversion of the note, the terms of which shall be mutually agreeable to the parties; provided that the warrant shall have a five (5) year term and the exercise price shall be $0.75 per share (or such lower exercise price per share of common Stock as may be afforded to investors in the Proposed Private Placement) with the ability of VPEG to exercise the warrant on a cashless basis.


Cash proceeds from loans from affiliates and new contributions to the Aurora partnership by Navitus have allowed the Company to continue operations and enter into a Transaction Agreement, sublicense agreement and other related agreements that will allow the Company to transition its business into a technology focused oilfield services company. Management anticipates that operating losses will continue in the near term until the Company begins to operate as a technology focused oilfield services company.

 

We will be required to obtain additional liquidity resources in order to support our operations. We are addressing our liquidity needs by developing additional backup capital sources.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current of future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

Other Property and Equipment:

 

Our office equipment in Austin, Texas is being depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three to seven years.

 

Intangible Assets:

 

Our intangible assets are comprised of contract-based and marketing-related intangible assets. Our contract-based intangible assets include a sublicense agreement and a trademark license. The contract-based intangible assets have useful lives of 11.1 years to 15 years. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has not begun to use the economic benefits of the sublicense agreement and the trademark license and, accordingly, they were not amortized. The Company will begin to amortize the contract-based intangible assets using the straight-line amortization method over their respective remaining useful lives once it has begun to use their economic benefits. Our marketing related intangible assets include three non-compete agreements all of which have useful lives of 15 years. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has not begun to use the economic benefits of the non-compete agreements and, accordingly, they were not amortized. The Company will begin to amortize the marketing-related intangible assets using the straight-line amortization method over their respective remaining useful lives once it has begun to use their economic benefits. The remaining useful lives of intangible assets will be evaluated each reporting period. Intangible assets will be tested for impairment at least annually and upon a triggering event. The following table shows intangible assets and related accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Fair Value:

 

At June 30, 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of our financial instruments such as prepaid expenses and payables approximated their fair values based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of other liabilities approximated their fair values because the underlying interest rates approximated market rates at the balance sheet dates. Management believes that due to our current credit worthiness, the fair value of debt could be less than the book value. Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, established a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring fair value. This framework defined three levels of inputs to the fair value measurement process and requires that each fair value measurement be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three broad levels of inputs defined by FASB ASC Topic 820 hierarchy are as follows:

 

30



Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;

 

Leve1 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Leve1 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

Leve1 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (which might include the reporting entity’s own data).

 

Unamortized Discount:

 

Unamortized discount consists of value attributed to free standing equity instruments issued to the holders of affiliate note payable (see Note 5) and are amortized over the life of the related loans using a method consistent with the interest method. There was no amortization of debt discount for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Amortization of debt discount totaled $124,055 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and is included in interest expense in the statements of operations. The following table shows the discount and related accumulated amortization as of as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Stock-Based Compensation:

 

The Company applies FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to account for the issuance of options and warrants to employees, key partners, directors, officers and Navitus investors. The standard requires all share-based payments, including employee stock options, warrants and restricted stock, be measured at the fair value of the award and expensed over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The fair value of options and warrants granted to employees, directors and officers is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model by using the historical volatility of our stock price. The calculation also takes into account the common stock fair market value at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected term of the common stock option or warrant, the dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate.

 

The Company from time to time may issue stock options, warrants and restricted stock to acquire goods or services from third parties. Restricted stock, options or warrants issued to third parties are recorded on the basis of their fair value, which is measured as of the date issued. The options or warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying equity instrument on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance, is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense from stock awards, warrants, and stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and third parties of $11,306,602 and $8,337 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $11,331,602 and $179,034 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Income Taxes:

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. Deferred tax assets include tax loss and credit carry forwards and are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

On May 17, 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting (clarifies Topic 718) Compensation - Stock Compensation, such that an entity must apply modification accounting to changes in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award unless all of the following criteria are met: (1) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification and the ASU indicates that if the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique used to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the modification; and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the modification; the ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018. The Company expects the adoption of this ASU will only impact financial statements if and when there is a modification to share-based award agreements.

 

In January 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is deemed to be a business. Determining whether a transferred set constitutes a business is important because the accounting for a business combination differs from that of an asset acquisition. The definition of a business also affects the accounting for dispositions. Under ASU 2017-01, when substantially all of the fair value of assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset, or a group of similar assets, the assets acquired would not represent a business and business combination accounting would not be required. ASU 2017-01 may result in more transactions being accounted for as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017 and will apply the new guidance to applicable transactions going forward.


Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance regarding the accounting for leases. The guidance requires recognition of most leases on the balance sheet. The guidance requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance regarding several broad topics related to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018 and will apply the guidance to applicable transactions going forward.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding the accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. In April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016, FASB issued additional guidance, addressed implementation issues and provided technical corrections. The guidance may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach to adjust retained earnings (deficit). The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the financial statements. However, the Company currently has no revenue from contracts with customers.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2018. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, which we are still in the process of remediating as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Investors are directed to Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 for the description of these weaknesses.


Changes in Internal Controls

 

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.


During its evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018, our management identified the following material weaknesses:

 

 

We lack sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency represents a material weakness.

 

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses, and in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we continued to implement these remedial procedures. In order to cure the foregoing material weakness, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions are performed by separate individuals to the extent possible. In addition, we will look to hire additional personnel with technical accounting expertise to further support our current accounting personnel. As necessary, we will continue to engage consultants or outside accounting firms in order to ensure proper accounting for our consolidated financial statements.


We intend to complete the remediation of the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take may not fully address the material weaknesses that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.


All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Except for the matters described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
