| Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting
Policies The condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared from
our books and records in accordance with Rule 10-1 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not
include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In addition, due
to the second quarter 2017 start-up of operations in the U.S., beginning in the second quarter of 2017, we now manage our business
through operating segments aligned with our two geographical operating regions; Argentina and the U.S. We also report certain corporate
and other non-operating activities under the heading “Corporate and Other”, which primarily reflects corporate personnel
and activities, incentive compensation programs and other non-operational allocable costs. For financial information about our
segments, see Note 8 - Segment Reporting. Principles of Consolidation We consolidate
all wholly-owned subsidiaries, controlled joint ventures and variable interest entities where the Company has determined it is
the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used in, but are not limited to, determining
the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation
and amortization, income taxes and stock-based compensation. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is
obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers
all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains
deposits in several financial institutions in both Argentina and the U.S. Funds held in the U.S. may at times exceed amounts covered
by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any
losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits. The Company places
its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. Revenue Recognition The Company is
a supplier of oilfield services, products, technology and systems used in the oil and natural gas business, referred to as oilfield
operations. We provide well stimulation, coiled tubing, and field management services to our customers, with operations in Argentina
and the United States. All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, specific performance completed,
the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured as follows: Well Stimulation
Revenue The Company provides
well stimulation services based on contractual arrangements, such as term contracts, exclusivity agreements and pricing agreements,
or on a spot market basis. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to multiple
days. Revenue is recognized as stimulation stages are completed. Customers are invoiced upon the completion of each job, which
can consist of one or more stimulation stages. Under term pricing
agreement arrangements, customers commit to targeted utilization levels at agreed-upon pricing, but without termination penalties
or obligations to pay for services not used by the customer. In addition, the agreed-upon pricing is typically subject to periodic
review. Under exclusivity agreements, customers agree to dedicate all of their completion work in a given area to the Company at
an agreed upon price so long as a minimum operational performance is maintained during the term of the agreement. Spot market arrangements
are priced on an agreed-upon hourly spot market rate. The Company also charges fees for setup and mobilization of equipment depending
on the job, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and materials that are consumed during the well stimulation process.
Generally, these fees and other charges vary depending on the equipment and personnel required for the job and market conditions
in the region in which the services are performed. The Company also
generates revenues from chemicals and proppants that are consumed while performing well stimulation services. Coiled Tubing
Revenue Coiled tubing and
other well stimulation services projects are typically short term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to multiple days.
Revenue is recognized upon completion of each job based upon a completed field ticket noting completion of specific performance.
The Company charges the customer for mobilization, services performed, personnel on the job, equipment used on the job, and miscellaneous
consumables at agreed-upon spot market rates. Field Management Revenue The Company enters
into arrangements to provide field management services. Field management revenue relates primarily to geophysical predictions and
production monitoring, utilizing down-hole diagnostics tools. Revenue is recognized and customers are invoiced upon the completion
of each job when completion of specific performance has occurred. The service invoices are for a set amount, which includes charges
for the mobilization of the equipment to the location, the service performed, the personnel on the job, additional equipment used
on the job, consumables used throughout the course of the service, and processing and interpretation of data acquired via down-hole
diagnostic tools. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s
financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses,
capital lease obligations and notes payable. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets,
accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The carrying value of capital
lease obligations and notes payable approximate their fair value, and the interest rates approximate market rates. Functional and Presentation Currency Items included
in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the entity operates (the “Functional Currency”). The Functional Currency for the Company’s Norwegian
and Argentine subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, which
is the Company’s presentation currency. Net Loss per Common Share For the nine months
ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the weighted average shares outstanding excluded certain stock options and potential shares
from convertible debt of 725,657 and 4,472,632, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because these
shares would be anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive warrants of 100,000 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016
were also excluded from the calculation. Reclassifications Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 presentation, with no material effect on the presentation of December 31,
2016 or September 30, 2016. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable
are stated at amounts management expects to collect from outstanding balances both billed and unbilled (unbilled accounts receivable
represents amounts recognized as revenue for which invoices have not yet been sent to clients). At September 30, 2017 and December
31, 2016, there were $3,757,160 and $855,706, respectively, in outstanding unbilled amounts. Management provides for probable uncollectible
amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual
accounts. To date, the Company has not recognized any losses due to uncollectible accounts. Balances still outstanding after management
has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.
The Company evaluated all accounts receivable and determined that no reserve for doubtful accounts was necessary at September 30,
2017 or December 31, 2016. Prepaids and Other Assets Prepaid expenses
and other assets are primarily comprised of paid Argentinian value added tax, prepaid insurance and deposits made on equipment
purchases. The prepaid value added tax will be reduced as the Company continues to invoice customers in Argentina. Inventory Inventories are
stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method and appropriate consideration is given to deterioration,
obsolescence and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Inventories consist of supplies and consumable products used
in the Company’s services provided to its customers. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, Plant
and Equipment (“PPE”) is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditures that are
directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial reporting purposes. Expenditures
for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs
are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the respective period. The estimated useful lives of our major
classes of PPE are as follows:
Major Classes of PPE Estimated Useful Lives
Machinery and equipment 2-7 years
Vehicles 5 years
Leasehold improvements 5 years (or the life of the lease)
Furniture and office equipment 3-5 years Leases The Company leases
certain equipment under lease agreements. The Company evaluates each lease to determine its appropriate classification as an operating
or capital lease for financial reporting purposes. Any lease that does not meet the criteria for a capital lease is accounted for
as an operating lease. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts
for its stock options, warrants, and restricted stock grants under the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718. The Company currently uses
the straight-line amortization method for recognizing stock option and restricted stock compensation costs. The measurement and
recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees, directors or outside service providers
are based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the grant dates. The grant date fair value is estimated using either an
option-pricing model which is consistent with the terms of the award or a market observed price, if such a price exists. Such cost
is recognized over the period during which an employee, director or outside service provider is required to provide service in
exchange for the award, i.e., “the requisite service period” (which is usually the vesting period). The Company also
estimates the number of instruments that will ultimately be earned, rather than accounting for forfeitures as they occur. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews
its long-lived assets for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
ASC Topic 360 requires the Company to review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. The impairment review includes a comparison of future
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets with their associated carrying value. If the carrying value
of the asset or group of assets exceeds expected cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), an impairment loss is
recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value. If estimated future cash flows are not achieved with respect
to long-lived assets, additional write-downs may be required. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company evaluated
its long-lived assets for impairment and determined no impairment was necessary. Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk The majority of
the Company’s business from inception through the first quarter of 2017 was conducted with major and independent oil and
natural gas companies in Argentina. For the nine months ending September 30, 2017, 43% or $10.5 million and 57% or $13.7 million
of our revenue is from the U.S. and Argentina, respectively. The Company evaluates the financial strength of its customers and
provides allowances for probable credit losses when deemed necessary. The Company derives a large amount of revenue from a small
number of major and independent oil and natural gas companies. At September 30, 2017, the Company had a concentration of receivables
with two customers. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2017, two major customers accounted for approximately 100% and 99% of our services revenue, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, two major customers represented 79% of our services revenue. Our accounts receivable at September
30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were concentrated with two major customers representing 100% and 73%, respectively. Beginning in October
2017, we began operations with a new United States customer. Income Taxes Deferred income
taxes are determined using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740. 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 income taxes are measured using enacted tax rates expected
to apply to taxable income in years in which such temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of
a change in tax rates on deferred income taxes is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations of the period that includes
the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined
that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company is
subject to U.S. federal and foreign income taxes along with state corporate income taxes in Texas and Oklahoma. When tax returns
are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while
others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately
sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available
evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution
of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions
that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50%
likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax
positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing
authorities upon examination. The Fir Tree Transaction
(as described in Note 6—Debt, ACM Note Agreement), resulted in a change in control and will likely limit the Company’s
ability to utilize net operating loss tax benefits due to limitations pursuant to Section 382 of the U.S. Tax Code. As of September
30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was no tax asset benefit recorded, as a provision was made to fully reserve the benefit. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting
Guidance In July 2015, the
FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires inventory not measured
using either the last in, first out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable
value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost
of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new standard was effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2017, and
is applied prospectively. We adopted ASU 2015-11 in the first quarter of 2017, with such adoption having no material impact on
the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2015,
the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which eliminates the requirement
to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, all deferred tax
assets and liabilities will be required to be classified as noncurrent. We adopted this ASU 2015-17 in the first quarter of 2017,
with such adoption having no effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2016,
the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several
aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, statutory tax
withholding requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under ASU 2016-09, all excess tax benefits or deficiencies
are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the pool of windfall tax benefits as a component of
additional paid-in capital is eliminated. In regard to forfeitures, companies may make a one-time policy election to use forfeitures
which applies only to instruments with service conditions; the requirement to estimate the probability of achieving performance
conditions remains. For statutory tax withholding requirements, ASU 2016-09 allows for net settlement up to the employer’s
maximum statutory tax withholding requirement. Formerly, only the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement was allowed to
be met through net settlement while retaining equity classification. We adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017, with
such adoption having no material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of September
30, 2017 In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), replacing most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes
effective. It requires us to recognize the amount of revenue to which we expect to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods
or services to customers. It also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information
of an entity’s nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The FASB has issued several amendments
to the standard, including clarification on accounting for licenses of intellectual property, identifying performance obligations,
reporting gross versus net revenue and narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients. The guidance permits two methods of
adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (“full retrospective method”), or retrospectively
with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (“modified retrospective
application”). As early application is not permitted, we intend to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 (the “initial
application” date):
● using the modified retrospective application, with no restatement of the comparative periods presented and a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption;
● applying the new standard only to those contracts that are not substantially complete at the date of initial application; and
● disclosing the impact of the new standard on our 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has
performed an initial evaluation of this standard and its impact on the financial statements. This included tasks such as identifying
contracts, identifying performance obligations and reviewing the applicable revenue streams. In this review, nothing has been identified
that would require a change in the current accounting for revenue. On February 25,
2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842), which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from
a lease for both financing and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to
help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising
from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company
is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the
FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies
when modification accounting should be applied for changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This ASU will
be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those
years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its condensed
consolidated financial statements. |
