Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from previously estimated amounts. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company recognizes revenues when services are rendered, field tickets are approved, signed and received, and when payment is determinable and reasonably assured. The Company extends short-term, unsecured credit to its customers for amounts invoiced. |
Cash | Cash |
|
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, time deposits, certificates of deposit and short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company is obligated to maintain all deposits in one financial institution. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provides coverage for all accounts of up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, none of the Company’s cash was in excess of federally insured limits. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash |
|
Restricted cash represents certificates of deposit used as collateral for letters of credit issued in favor of the Texas Railroad Commission as required pursuant to the Texas Railroad Commission’s regulations. The letters of credit provide evidence of financial responsibility for the operation of the disposal wells owned by the Company. Restricted cash is not generally available to the Company until the respective letters of credit are cancelled or terminated undrawn. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable |
The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and extends credit to virtually all of its customers on an uncollateralized basis. Credit losses to date have been insignificant and within management’s expectations. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. Normal accounts receivable are due 30 to 45 days after the issuance of the invoice. Receivables past due more than 60 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are evaluated for collectability based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $193,483 and $33,321, respectively. |
|
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had the following customer concentrations. |

Parts Inventory | Parts Inventory |
|
Parts inventory consists of replacement parts for the Company’s vehicles and transports and is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using average cost method. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment |
|
The Company’s property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial reporting purposes. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred, while major improvements are capitalized. |
|
The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gains or losses are charged or credited to income in the respective period. The estimated useful lives are as follows: |
|
Asset Description | | Estimated Useful Life | | Cost | | | | | | | | | | |
Land | | Non-depreciable | | $ | 225,000 | | | | | | | | | | | |
Trucks and equipment | | 5-7 years | | | 7,529,483 | | | | | | | | | | | |
Disposal wells | | 5-14 years | | | 9,046,686 | | | | | | | | | | | |
Buildings and improvements | | 15 - 39 years | | | 474,900 | | | | | | | | | | | |
Office furniture and equipment | | 5-7 years | | | 60,175 | | | | | | | | | | | |
Disposal well under construction | | Non-depreciable | | | 539,225 | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total property and equipment, at cost | | | | 17,875,469 | | | | | | | | | | | |
Less: accumulated depreciation | | | | | (6,855,473 | ) | | | | | | | | | | |
Property and equipment, net | | | | $ | 11,019,996 | | | | | | | | | | | |
|
|
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company disposed of property and equipment with a cost of $2,815,845 and accumulated depreciation of $1,004,679. The Company received total proceeds of $704,923 and recognized a loss of $797,372 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company disposed of property and equipment with a cost of $3,702,087 and accumulated depreciation of $1,393,744. The Company received total proceeds of $2,678,029 and recognized a gain of $369,687 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets |
The Company periodically reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be realizable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. In 2013, the Company determined that it would not be able to fully recover the carrying amount of its disposal wells from FIG. In accordance with the guidance for the impairment of long-lived assets, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.8 million in 2013 to adjust the carrying value of the asset to our estimate of its fair value. No impairment charges were recorded in 2014. We estimated that fair value using the comparable sales method. The impairment charge impacted the loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes line in our consolidated statement of operations. |
Asset retirement obligations | Asset retirement obligations |
ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, requires companies to recognize a liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) at fair value in the period in which the obligation is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. This obligation relates to the future costs of plugging and abandoning the Company’s disposal wells, the removal of equipment and facilities, and returning such land to its original condition. |
|
The Company has not recorded an ARO for the future estimated reclamation costs associated with the operation of the Company’s disposal wells. The Company is not able to determine the estimated life of its wells and is unable to determine a reasonable estimate of the fair value associated with this liability. The Company believes that any such liability would not be material to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. |
Equity Instruments Issued for Goods and Services | Equity Instruments Issued for Goods and Services |
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That cost is recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements |
The ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the customer’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
In accordance with the reporting requirements of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at the balance sheet dates, nor gains or losses reported in the statements of operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the year plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. |
Earnings Per Share (EPS) | Earnings Per Share (EPS) |
Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are calculated by adjusting outstanding shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options and warrants. The computation of diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share. Anti-dilution results from an increase in earnings per share or reduction in loss per share from the inclusion of potentially dilutive shares in EPS calculations. Currently there are 150,000 stock options, which have been excluded from EPS, outstanding that could potentially have a dilutive effect on EPS in the future. The table below sets forth the reconciliation for net loss and weighted average shares used for calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. |
