The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. These interim consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 20182019 and the notes thereto, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount and useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment assessments, share-based compensation expense, and valuation allowances for accounts receivable, inventories, and deferred tax assets.

COVID-19

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The COVID-19 pandemic-related reduction in energy demandCompany has two significant customers that represented 86% and the dramatic decline in commodity prices that began in the first quarter of 2020 continued to cause disruptions and volatility in the second and third quarters of 2020. Sharp declines in crude oil and natural gas production along with reduced demand for refined products due to the economic shutdown in the wake of the pandemic affected our business in the second quarter, and we expect will continue to do so in the near term. Further, significant uncertainty remains regarding the duration and extent of the impact of the pandemic on the energy industry. See Note 2 – Liquidity.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires assets and liabilities that arise from all leases to be recognized on the balance sheet for lessees and expanded financial statement disclosures for both lessees and lessors. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2020 and elected the modified retrospective transition method and as such, the comparative financial information will not be restated and will continue to be reported under the lease standard in effect during those periods. The adoption of this standard resulted in approximately $270,000 of additional assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet representing the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes an estimate81% of its incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments, which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company believes it could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments in the same currency,revenue for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. See Note 8 – Leases.

Significant Customers

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These customers had approximately $1,081,000 and $432,000 in accounts receivable at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We had one vendor that represented 12%$772,000.

Impact of our purchasesCOVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may further impact the Company’s operations, and the operations of the Company’s suppliers and vendors, as a result of quarantines, facility closures, and travel and logistics restrictions. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and depend on, among other things, the duration, spread, severity, and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the success and speed of vaccination efforts both in the United States and globally, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s customers, suppliers, and vendors and the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by local and federal governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time.

NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY

The significant decline in oil demand due to COVID-19, the instability of oil prices caused by geopolitical issues and production levels, and the limited availability of storage capacity, have together resulted in our customers announcing significant reductions to their capital expenditure budgets for 2020. Demand for our products and services has been severely impacted as a result, and management expects this to continue for the duration of 2020 and potentially beyond; however, we are currently unable to estimate the full impact to our business, how long this significant drop in demand will last or the depth of the decline.

In an effort to offset the reduction in revenue resulting from the weakened macroeconomic environment, we have implemented certain cost reduction measures during 2020. These measures included, but were not limited to, the following:

20% reduction of the base salary beginning in April 2020 and a 40% salary deferral beginning in October 2020 for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer;
20% reduction in the base salaries beginning in April 2020 and a 20% deferral of base salaries  beginning in October 2020 of certain non-executive officers of the Company;
20% reduction in fees to be paid beginning in April 2020 and a 40% deferral of fees beginning in October 2020 to the independent directors on the Board for their service as directors;
5% to 10% reduction in salaries beginning in April 2020 and a 10% deferral of salaries beginning in October 2020 of other members of the management team and salaried workforce;

43% reduction of the Company’s workforce; and 

Closure of our West Texas repair facility in July 2020. 

We have also entered into amended agreements with certain of our customers, reduced our planned capital expenditures for 2020 and decided to defer further investment in new technology development, including our Strider technology, for the foreseeable future. Management is working diligently with vendors to achieve amended price concessions and terms of our payables. We believe the U.S. onshore activity for the remainder of 2020 will remain at depressed levels and continue to be constrained.

We are working to minimize the decline in revenue by adding additional revenue streams and maintaining cost containment measures in order to be cash flow positive.We believe that our borrowing capacity,cash on hand, cash generated from operations and the proceeds of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan (see Note 9 – Long-Term Debt)our borrowing capacity under our current credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months. To enhance liquidity, our operational and financial strategies include managing our operating costs, accelerating collections of international receivables, and reducing working capital requirements and restructuring our debt.requirements. If we are unable to do this, we may not be able to, among other things, (i) maintain our revised general and administrative spending levels; (ii) fund certain obligations as they become due; and (iii) respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated capital requirements. COVID-19 has also led to a significant disruption in the equity and debt capital markets, which could hinder our ability to raise new capital or obtain financing on acceptable terms. We cannot provide any assurance that financing will be available to us in the future on acceptable terms, if at all.

Additionally, in JulyIn 2020, the Company filed a Form S-3 Shelf Registration that will allow the Company to offer and sell, from time to time, up to $20,000,000$20,000,000 of securities. We believe maintaining an active Shelf Registration provides additional financial flexibility to access the capital markets. In October 2021, the Company completed an equity offering of 1,739,131 shares of common stock at a price of $1.15 per share. Net proceeds from the equity offering were $1,739,103 (See Note 13 – Subsequent Events).

Also in 2020, the Company received notification from the NYSE American to the Company indicating that, as a result of the Company’s stockholders’ equity of $4.7 million as of September 30, 2020, and reported losses for each of the last five fiscal years, the Company was not in compliance with the stockholders’ equity standards for continued listing on the NYSE American. On January 28, 2021, the Company received notice that the NYSE American had accepted the Company’s plan that was submitted on December 18, 2020, to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American.

NYSE American Regulations staff will review the Company periodically for compliance with the initiatives outlined in the plan. If the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, NYSE Regulation staff may initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate. The Company’s first quarterly plan update was submitted to the NYSE American in April 2021 and was subsequently approved by the NYSE compliance committee on May 21, 2021. On August 16, 2021, the Company submitted its second quarterly plan update which was approved by the NYSE on September 10, 2021.

NOTE 3. REVENUE

Our revenue is derived from short termshort-term contracts. Revenue is recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to our customers at a point in time, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We also assess our customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including our customer’s historical payment experience and financial condition. Payment terms and conditions vary, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 days.

Revenue generally does not include right of return or other significant post-delivery obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We elected to treat shipping and handling costs as a fulfillment cost instead of as a separate performance obligation. We recognize the cost for shipping and handling when incurred as an expense in cost of sales.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer under Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation to provide agreed-upon products or services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. In accordance with Topic 606, we do not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer.

9

All of our contracts are less than one year in duration. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Approximately 83% 85% of our revenue wasis from the United StatesNorth America and approximately 17% was15% is from the Middle East for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020.2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2021, approximately 95%86% of our revenue was from the United StatesNorth America and approximately 5%14% was from the Middle East.

Tool Revenue

Tool and Product Sales: Revenue for tool and product sales is recognized upon shipment of tools or products to the customer. Shipping and handling costs related to tool and product sales are recorded gross as a component of both the sales price and cost of the product sold.

Tool Rental: Tool rental revenue is recognized upon completion of the customer’s job for which the tool was rented. While the duration of the rents vary by job and number of runs, these rents are generally less than one month. The rental agreements are typically based on the price per run or footage drilled and do not have any minimum rental payments or term.

Other Related Revenue: We receive revenue from the repair of tools upon delivery of the repaired tool to the customer. We earn royalty commission revenue when our customer invoices their customer for the use of our tools.

Contract Services

Drill Bit Manufacturing and Refurbishment: We recognize revenue for our PDC drill bit services upon transfer of control, which we have determined to be upon shipment. Shipping and handling costs related to refurbishing services are paid directly by the customer at the time of shipment.

Contract Balances

Under our sales contracts, we invoice customers after our performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, our contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASCTopic 606.

NOTE 8. LEASES

The Company determines whether a contract is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. The Company discounts lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate as the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate.

The Company leases certain facilities in Texas, Utah and Dubai under long-term operating leases with lease terms of one year to two years. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the provision of ASC 842 Leases.

The table below presents the lease related assets and liabilities recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020:

Every forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

Executive Summary

We innovate, design, engineer, manufacture, sell, and repair drilling and completion tools in the United States, Canada, and the Middle East and Eastern Europe.East.

We currently have three basic operations:

Our PDC drill bit and other tool refurbishing and manufacturing service,
Our emerging technologies business that manufactures the Drill-N-Ream tool, our innovative drill string enhancement tool, the Strider technology and other tools, and
Our new product development business that conducts our research and development, and designs our horizontal drill string enhancement tools, other down-hole drilling technologies, and drilling tool manufacturing technologies.

Our strategy for growth is to expand ourthe global market penetration of our current drilldrilling tool technologysolutions and to leverage our expertise in drilldrilling tool technologytechnologies and precision machining in order to broaden our product offerings and solutions for the oil and gas industry, as well as other industries that require precision machining and quality. We believe through our patented technologies, as well as technologies under development, that we can offer the oil and gas industry the solutions it demands to improve drilling efficiencies and reduce production costs.

Recent Developments and Trends

Our business and operations have been adversely affected by and are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic greatly reducedhas caused and continues to cause disruption to the U.S. and global oil demand as social distancingeconomies, including the impact of government and travel restrictions were implemented acrosscompany actions to reduce the world. The timeline and potential magnitudespread of the COVID-19 outbreakvirus and its consequences are currently unknown. The continuation or amplification of this virus could continueconsumer behavior in response to more broadly affectthe same; and, although the United States and global economy, includingother countries have continued to roll out vaccinations, it is uncertain how quickly and effectively such vaccinations will be distributed or help to control the demand for oilspread of COVID-19 and gas.

Further disruptingits variants. We continue to actively monitor the oilimpacts and gas industry was the lifting by the Organizationpotential impacts of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”)COVID-19 pandemic in all aspects of our business. Although we are unable to predict the total impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources at this time, we expect we may be negatively affected if the pandemic and related public health measures result in substantial manufacturing or supply curtailments. This resultedchain problems, disruptions in an increaselocal and global future economies, volatility in the global supplyfinancial markets, overall reductions in demand, delays in payment, restrictions on the shipment of oilour products, or other ramifications. Currently we are experiencing raw material delays and difficulties in an environment of rapidly contracting demand. Ashiring and retaining direct laborers. These current conditions are a result the price of oil declined significantly in April 2020 as storage capacity became limited.COVID-19.

Overall, the significant decline in oil demand due to COVID-19 coupled with a global over supply of oil drove down oil prices. This has resulted in our customers announcing significant reductions to their capital expenditure budgets for 2020. This is evidenced by the significant decline inThe total U.S. onshore rig counts from the beginning of the year. At the end of 2019, the U.S. onshore rig count as reported by Baker Hughes as of October 29, 2021 was 781 rigs. As544 rigs, an increase of September 30, 2020,248 rigs from a year ago, as well as an increase of 150 rigs from the U.S. onshore rig count was 266 rigs compared with 855 rigs as of September 30, 2019.December 31, 2020. We expect oil and gas related marketsNorth American onshore activity to continue to experience significant weakness for the remainder of 2020improve in 2021 and into 2021. Despite these current challenges,2022 compared with the oil and gas industryfourth quarter of 2020.

The Middle East market is beginninga softer market due to experience slight improvements including an increase in the numberCOVID-19 impact. Although this segment of active rigs in the U.S. from third quarter lows, and we expect additional rig count improvement to occur into year-end.

The reduction of the U.S. onshore rig count has negatively affected our results of operations as our business is highly dependent uponrebounding, the vibrancy of the oil and gas drilling operations in the U.S. In an effort to offset the reduction in revenue resulting from the weakened macroeconomic environment, we have implemented certain cost reduction measures during 2020. These measures included, but were not limitedimprovements are at a slower rate compared to the following:Company’s domestic market.

20% reduction of the base salary beginning in April 2020 and a 40% salary deferral beginning in October 2020 for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer;
20% reduction in the base salaries beginning in April 2020 and a 20% deferral of base salaries  beginning in October 2020 of certain non-executive officers of the Company;
20% reduction in fees to be paid beginning in April 2020 and a 40% deferral of fees beginning in October 2020 to the independent directors on the Board for their service as directors;
5% to 10% reduction in salaries beginning in April 2020 and a 10% deferral of salaries beginning in October 2020 of other members of the management team and salaried workforce;
43% reduction of the Company’s workforce; and 
Closure of  our West Texas repair facility in July 2020. 

We have also entered into amended agreements with certain of our customers as discussed below in more detail, reduced our planned capital expenditures for 2020 and decided to defer further investment in new technology development, including our Strider technology, for the foreseeable future. Management is working diligently with vendors to achieve amended price concessions and terms of our payables. We believe the U.S. onshore activity for the remainder of 2020 will remain at depressed levels and continue to be constrained. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions altering our business operations that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and stakeholders, or as required by federal, state, or local authorities.

We have placed a priority on protecting our employees during this pandemic while continuing to provide essential services to our customers. We operate under an emergency response plan specific to the global pandemic. This plan is reviewed and revised quarterly based on the latest federal and state government information provided, best practice, and consultation with local health departments. This plan includes disinfecting on a regular basis, the elimination of overlap between shifts, and a strict procedure for handling potential cases within the processes outlined in the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. Employees are also required to perform self-health evaluations at the start of every shift. These measures continue to act as a barrier to the spread of the virus on company property and among its employees. To date, these precautions have had an immaterial impact on the normal costs associated with our operations.

Effective April 1, 2020, the Company through its Hard Rock subsidiary entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement (the “DTI Amendment”) with Drilling Tools International, Inc. (“DTI”), amending the agreement between Hard Rock and DTI dated August 30, 2016. Under the DTI Amendment, all charges for repair rates the Company provides to DTI are reduced by 10%. These rate changes are applicable through September 30, 2020, unless extended on, or prior to, the expiration date by mutual written agreement. The Company hopes to extend the DTI Agreement prior to year-end 2020.

Effective May 1, 2020, we entered into a First Amendment to Vendor Agreement (the “Baker Hughes Amendment”) with Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations LLC (“Baker Hughes”), amending their existing Vendor Agreement dated April 1, 2018. Under the Baker Hughes Amendment, we may engage in other activity not related to or in competition with the business of Baker Hughes to the extent that such other activity shall not be considered a breach of the Vendor Agreement. Also, under the Baker Hughes Amendment, charges for repair rates that we provide to Baker Hughes are reduced by 10%. Lastly, Baker Hughes agreed to remove the exclusivity restrictions that prevented us from providing drill bit repair for other entities, which broadens our market opportunity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2020,2021, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,600,000.$1,500,000. Our principal uses of cash are operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and debt service payments. Our operational and financial strategies include loweringmanaging our operating costs and capital spending to match revenue trends, accelerating collections of international receivables, and managing our working capital and debt to enhance liquidity. We will continue to work to grow revenue and manage costs to minimize negative net cash flow in 2020. If we are unable to do this,continue generating positive cash flow, we may not be able to, among other things, (i) maintain our current general and administrative spending levels; (ii) fund certain obligations as they become due; and (iii) respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated capital requirements. We cannot provide any assurance that financing will be available to us in the future on acceptable terms. However, on October 19, 2021, the Company completed an equity offering of 1,739,131 shares of our common stock to certain institutional investors, at a purchase price of $1.15 per share. The Company paid approximately $261,000 in total offering costs. Net proceeds from the equity offering were approximately $1,700,000.

In addition, the significant decline in demand for oil demand due to the impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy, the instability of oil prices caused by geopolitical issues and over supply have resulted in the announcements by our customers and end users of our tools and technology of significant reductions to their capital expenditure budgets. Our expectation is that demand for our products and services willmay continue to be severely impacted for the duration of 2020in 2021 and potentially beyond; however, we are currently unable to estimate the full impact to our business, how long this significant drop in demand will last or the depth of the decline. We have also reduced ourminimal planned capital expenditures for 2020 and we have decided to defer further investment in new technology development, including our Strider technology.the remainder of 2021 of $600,000.

The Hard Rock Note hashad a remaining balance of $1,500,000$750,000 as of September 30, 2020,2021. It accrues interest at 8.00% per annum and is fully payable ondue in full by October 5, 2022.

Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan at any time may not exceed the sum of: (a) up to 85% of accounts receivable or such lesser percentage as AFS in its sole discretion may deem appropriate if it determines that there has been a material adverse effect (less a dilution reserve as determined by AFS in its sole good faith discretion), plus (b) the lesser of (i) up to 50% of inventory or such lesser percentage as AFS in its sole discretion may deem appropriate if it determines that there has been a material adverse effect, or (ii) the inventory sublimit, minus (c) the borrowing base reserve as may be determined from time to time by AFS. Amounts outstanding on the Revolving Loan as of September 30, 2020,2021, may not exceed $511,791,$1,000,000, which is based on a calculation applying 85% of accounts receivable and 50% of inventory.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to litigation that arises from time to time in the ordinary course of our business activities. In February 2019, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana Lafayette Division asserting Stabil Drill Specialties, LLC (“Stabil Drill”) infringed on our patent that covers the Company’s well bore conditioning tool, the Drill-N-Ream. The lawsuit was subsequently moved from Louisiana to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Additionally, on May 20, 2019, Extreme Technologies, LLC sued Short Bit & Tool Co. and Lot William Short, Jr. (“Defendants”) in the Northern District of Texas - Dallas Division. Extreme sued for patent infringement based on the same patents discussed in the Stabil Drill litigation. On December 23, 2019, the Court stayed Extreme’s patent infringement claim against Defendants pending resolution of the Southern District of Texas Stabil Drill case. The court ordered the Company to serve discovery requests upon Stabil Drill and gave Stabil Drill deadlines to respond and produce documents and permit product inspection. Stabil Drill filed a motion for summary judgement and the Company responded and cross-moved for patent infringement. The parties are awaiting the judge’s decision.non-infringement. On October 1, 2020, Superior Energy Services, Stabil Drill’s parent company, filed for bankruptcy, which may resultresulted in a delaybrief, automatic stay of the litigation. Superior Energy Services announced on February 2, 2021 that it successfully completed its financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. On March 9, 2021, the Court lifted the automatic bankruptcy stay. On May 12, 2021, the Court denied Stabil Drill’s non-infringement summary judgment motion. The parties are preparing this case for trial and expect a jury trial setting in the resolution of this litigation. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter, but our legal costs could have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations in future periods.2022. We are not currently involved in any other litigation which management believes could have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As of the date of this filing, the Company remains subject to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk factors below updates or expands upon those risk factors.

The outbreak of the recent coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has had, and is expected to continue to have, depending on the duration of the pandemic, a significant impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations due to its effect on the oil and gas industry.

The impact of COVID-19 and measures to prevent its spread are expected to continue to impact our results, operations, cash flows and liquidity.

We expect the impact of these disruptions, including the extent of their adverse impact on our financial and operational results, will be dictated by the length of time that such disruptions continue.

Demand for our products and services is declining as our customers continue to revise their capital budgets downwards and swiftly adjust their operations in response to lower commodity prices. Our customers may not be unable to meet existing payment or other obligations to us. To address the situation, we have been forced to take several actions, including reductions in salaries for officers and fees for independent directors, a reduction in our total workforce and the indefinite postponement of the development of new technology by us and elimination of any activity not necessary to conduct our business. Such a further spread or outbreak could also negatively impact the business and operations of third party service providers who perform critical services for our business

Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of COVID-19 and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact on our future results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

20

We may be unable to maintain adequate liquidity and make payments on our debt.

At September 30, 2020,2021, we had working capital deficit of approximately $2,600,000.$1,500,000. Our principal uses of cash are operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and debt service payments. Our operational and financial strategies include lowering our operating costs and capital spending to match revenue trends, accelerating collections of international receivables, and managing our working capital and debt to enhance liquidity. Subsequent to the end of the quarter on October 19, 2021, the Company completed an equity offering of 1,739,131 shares of our common stock to certain institutional investors, at a purchase price of $1.15 per share. The Company paid approximately $261,000 in total offering costs. Net proceeds from the equity offering were approximately $1,700,000.

While we believe that our borrowing capacity and cash generated from operations and our borrowing capacity under our current credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months, our operational and financial strategies include managing our operating costs, working capital and debt to enhance liquidity. We will continue to work to grow revenue and review additional cost containment measures.measures in order to be cash flow positive in 2021. If we are unable to do this, we may not be able to, among other things, (i) maintain our current general and administrative spending levels; (ii) fund certain obligations as they become due; and (iii) respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated capital requirements. We cannot provide any assurance that financing will be available to us in the future on acceptable terms.

On May 6, 2020, certain subsidiaries of the Company amended and restated the Hardoutstanding note (the “Hard Rock NoteNote”) with the seller in theour acquisition of Hard Rock Solutions, LLC. As amended, the Hard Rock Note accrues interest at 8.00% per annum and matures and is now fully payable on October 5, 2022. Under the amended terms of the Hard Rock Note, we are required to make the following payments: accrued interest on each January 5, April 5, July 5, and October 5 January 5, and April 5 in 2021 and 2022; and $750,000 (plus accrued interest) on July 5, 2021 with the remaining principal balance of principal and$750,000 plus accrued interest on the Hard Rock Note due on October 5, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has made a total of $839,754 in principal and interest payments related to the Hard Rock Note. If we are unable to make the payments required, we could lose our rights to market the Drill-N-Ream.

Our Credit Agreement is comprised of $1,000,000 Term Loan and $3,500,000 Revolving Loan. As of September 30, 2020,2021, we had $749,998$416,662 outstanding on the Term Loan and $359,916$1,000,462 outstanding on the Revolving Loan. If we are unable to make required payments under the Credit Agreement, we would be in default thereunder, which would permit the holders of the indebtedness to accelerate the maturity thereof, unless we are able to obtain, on a timely basis, a necessary waiver or amendment. Any waiver or amendment may require us to revise the terms of the Credit Agreement which could increase the cost of our borrowings, require the payment of additional fees, and adversely impact the results of our operations. Upon the occurrence of any event of default that is not waived, the lenders could elect to exercise any of their available remedies, which include the right to not lend any additional amounts or, in the event we have outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to declare any outstanding indebtedness, together which any accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable. If we are unable to repay the outstanding indebtedness, if any, under the Credit Agreement when due, the lenders would be permitted to proceed against their collateral, and this could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

21

 

Our level of indebtedness could adversely affect our future ability to raise additional capital to fund growth, limit our ability to react to changes in our business or our industry and place us at a competitive disadvantage.

We are required to make a payment on the Hard Rock Note of $750,000 (plus accrued interest) in October 2022. In addition, we are required to make monthly payments of approximately $46,000 on our other indebtedness.

Our level of debt and debt service requirements could have important consequences. For example, it could (i) result in a foreclosure upon our key assets, (ii) increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, (iii) limit our ability to fund future capital expenditures and working capital, to engage in future acquisitions or development activities, or to otherwise realize the value of our assets and opportunities fully because of the need to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, (iv) increase our cost of borrowing, (v) restrict us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures, (vi) limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or industry in which we operate, placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared with our competitors who are less leveraged and (vii) impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

Our customer base is concentrated and the loss of, or nonperformance by, one or more of our significant customers, or our failure to expand our channels to market and further commercialize could cause our revenue to decline substantially.

We have two large customers that currently comprise 86% of our total revenue. It is likely that we will continue to derive a portion of our revenue from a relatively small number of customers in the future. If a major customer decided not to continue to use our services or significantly reduces its drilling plans, or if we are unable to expand our channels to market or further commercialize, our revenue would decline and our operating results and financial condition could be harmed. In addition, we are subject to credit risk due to the concentration of our customer base. Any increase in the nonpayment of and nonperformance by our counterparties, either as a result of changes in financial and economic conditions or otherwise, could have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and could adversely affect our liquidity.
