	Note 1 – Basis of Presentation, Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	ESP Resources, Inc. (“ESP Resources”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, “we, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 27, 2004. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ESP Resources, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ESP Petrochemicals, Inc. of Louisiana (“ESP Petrochemicals”), ESP Ventures, Inc. of Delaware (“ESP Ventures”), ESP Corporation, S.A., a Panamanian corporation (“ESP Corporation”) and ESP Payroll Services, Inc. of Nevada (“ESP Payroll”). On July 11, 2012 the Company formed two partially owned subsidiaries in Delaware, ESP Advanced Technologies, Inc., and ESP Facility & Pipeline Services, Inc. On December 19, 2012 the Company formed a partially owned subsidiary in Nevada, IEM, Inc.
	On September 7, 2011, the Company became a 49% partner in a new entity, ESP Marketing, LLC. The Company’s management will direct the operations of the business and the Company will receive 80% of the profits. On July 11, 2012, the Company became a 60% partner in a new entity, ESP Facility and Pipeline Services, Inc. The Company’s management will direct the operations of the business and the Company will receive 60% of the profits. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
	The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Any reference herein to “ESP Resources”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” is intended to mean ESP Resources, Inc. including the subsidiaries indicated above, unless otherwise indicated.
	Nature of the Business
	The Company’s current business through its subsidiary ESP Petrochemicals, Inc. sells and blends chemicals for use in the oil and gas industry to customers primarily located in the Gulf of Mexico and Gulf States region. ESP Resources was previously in the business of acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties in North and South America. ESP Delaware, which was incorporated in Delaware in November 2006, was formed as a holding company for ESP Petrochemicals, Inc. On June 15, 2007, ESP Delaware acquired all the stock of ESP Petrochemicals, Inc.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Principles of consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ESP Resources and its wholly-owned and partially owned subsidiaries for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Restricted Cash
	Under the terms of the Factoring payable, the Company may obtain advances of up to 100% of eligible accounts receivable, subject to a factoring fee of 0.75% per 15 days, with 10% held in a restricted cash reserve account, which is released to the Company upon payment of the receivable.
	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	The Company generally does not require collateral, and the majority of its trade receivables are unsecured. The carrying amount for accounts receivable approximates fair value.
	Accounts receivable consisted of the following as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
			September 30,			December 31,
			2013			2012
	Trade receivables		$	1,429,623		$	1,868,090
	Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts			(84,000	)		(38,000	)
	Net accounts receivable		$	1,345,623		$	1,830,090
	Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients. Provisions for losses on accounts receivable are determined on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance and current economic conditions.
	Inventory
	Inventory represents raw and blended chemicals and other items valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the first-in first-out method, and with market defined as the lower of replacement cost or realizable value. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013 the Company evaluated the market value of inventory and reduced inventory approximately $214,000.
	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, inventory consisted of the following:
			September 30,			December 31,
			2013			2012
	Raw materials		$	423,785		$	744,149
	Finished goods			588,783			1,179,984
	Total inventory		$	1,012,568		$	1,924,133
	Fair Value Measurements
	The valuation of our embedded derivatives and warrant derivatives are determined primarily by the multinomial distribution (Lattice) model.  An embedded derivative is a derivative instrument that is embedded within another contract, which under the convertible note (the host contract) includes the right to convert the note by the holder, certain default redemption right premiums and a change of control premium (payable in cash if a fundamental change occurs). In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended, these embedded derivatives are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. A warrant derivative liability is also determined in accordance with ASC 815. Based on ASC 815, warrants which are determined to be classified as derivative liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. The practical effect of this has been that when our stock price increases so does our derivative liability resulting in a non-cash loss charge that reduces our earnings and earnings per share. When our stock price declines, we record a non-cash gain, increasing our earnings and earnings per share. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
	● Level 1	unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
	● Level 2	inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
	● Level 3	unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
	This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.
	To determine the fair value of our embedded derivatives, management evaluates assumptions regarding the probability of certain future events. Other factors used to determine fair value include our period end stock price, historical stock volatility, risk free interest rate and derivative term. The fair value recorded for the derivative liability varies from period to period. This variability may result in the actual derivative liability for a period either above or below the estimates recorded on our consolidated financial statements, resulting in significant fluctuations in other income (expense) because of the corresponding non-cash gain or loss recorded.
	The following table sets forth the fair value hierarchy within our financial assets and liabilities by level that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013.
						Fair Value Measurement at September 30, 2013

	The Company has three vendors that accounted for 16%, 16% and 10% of purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	The Company has three major customers that together account for 64% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2012 and 78% of the total revenues earned for the period ended September 30, 2012.

	Note 2 – Going Concern
	At September 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $52,290 and deficit working capital of $5,087,022. The Company believes that its existing capital resources may not be adequate to enable it to execute its business plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company estimates that it will require additional cash resources during 2013 based on its current operating plan and condition.
	The Company expects cash flows from operating activities to improve, primarily as a result of an increase in revenue and a decrease in certain operating expenses, although there can be no assurance thereof. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If we fail to generate positive cash flow or obtain additional financing, when required, we may have to modify, delay, or abandon some or all of our business and expansion plans.

	Note 3 – Factoring Payable
	On May 24, 2011, ESP Petrochemicals entered into an accounts receivable financing agreement with Crestmark Commercial Capital Leading, LLC (“Crestmark”) with an initial term of nine months and renewing semi-annually thereafter. The agreement is in the subsequent renewal period. The Company may obtain advances of up to 90% of eligible accounts receivable, subject to a factoring fee of 0.75% per 15 days, with 10% held in a reserve account, which is released to the Company upon payment of the receivable. The agreement is subject to a master note, which limits borrowing to $2,000,000. The master note is payable upon demand, or if no demand is paid, with monthly payments of interest at 1.5%. All outstanding principal plus accrued unpaid interest is due on maturity of the note or when the related invoice is collected. The master note is secured by all inventory, accounts, general intangibles, and equipment of the Company. On March 2, 2012, Crestmark increased the borrowing limit to $3,000,000. On August 1, 2012, Crestmark increased the borrowing limit to $4,000,000. The total borrowing under the agreement at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $990,122 and $1,315,931, respectively, with $104,611 and $136,358, respectively, held in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

	On or around June 11, 2013, the Board of Directors decided to cease operations of its subsidiaries in the United States including ESP Advance Technologies Inc. and ESP Facilities and Pipeline Services Inc. and in Papua New Guinea including but not limited to operations through the joint venture ESP KUJV Limited. The Board determined that certain activities should be closed and that unused assets, principally vehicles and equipment, be sold. The Company estimated the fair value of those assets to be sold if the fair value was less than the net book value and reflected a loss on disposal of $46,850. The fair value of the remaining assets held for sale at September 30, 2013 is $522,233.
	On June 7, 2013 the Company subleased the Company’s Houston Texas office, improvements and certain equipment to a non-related third party. The sublease became effective July 1, 2013 with the term of the sublease coinciding with the original lease by the Company.  The Company determined the remaining lease cost plus amortization and depreciation on the remaining leasehold improvements and equipment exceeded the sublease income by $274,555 and reflected a loss on disposal.
	On June 27, 2013 the Company relocated the Scott Louisiana office and production facility. The unamortized leasehold improvement cost of $18,152 of the Scott, LA facility was charged to amortization of leasehold improvements in the quarter.

	On September 30, 2013 the Company agreed with certain of its convertible debenture holders to amend and restate the November 14, 2012 convertible debenture. The September 1, 2013 payment obligation was extended and deferred to $375,000 on December 1, 2013 and $625,000 on March 1, 2014 plus accrued interest; the conversion price was amended and restated to $0.05 from $0.085; the related Warrants exercise price per share of the Common Stock was amended and restated to $0.075 from $0.09. The Company evaluated the application of ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments and ASC 470-60, Trouble Debt Restructurings by Debtors and concluded that the revised terms constituted a troubled debt restructuring, rather than a debt extinguishment or debt modification. The amended and restated exercise price of the Warrant and Conversion price were valued as derivative instruments and were revalued at the fair market value of the derivative instruments at September 30, 2013, see Note 8. Pursuant to ASC 470-60, if the remaining debt is continued with a modification of terms, it is necessary to compare the total future cash flows of the restructured debt with the carrying value of original debt. If the total future cash flows of the restructured debt exceed the total carrying amount at the time of restructuring, no adjustment is made to the carrying value of the debt. The Company did not change the carrying amount of the debt as the total future cash payments are greater than the carrying value of the note.
	On November 14, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $1,000,000 from the sale of 16% Convertible Subordinated Debentures. The Debentures are due on March 1, 2014. The aggregate principal amount of the combined Debentures is One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) with an interest rate of Sixteen Percent (16%) per annum. The interest is payable quarterly on March 1st, June 1st, September 1st, and December 1st, beginning on March 1, 2013. The Debentures are convertible at any time after the original issue date at a conversion price of $0.085 per share, subject to adjustments. The Company recorded a discount from the relative fair value of the conversion feature and the intrinsic value of the conversion option of $421,715. The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model with the following assumptions: stock price of $0.07 on the measurement date; term of 1.5 years; expected volatility between 112% and 159%; and a discount rate of 0.22% accounted for as debt discount, which will be amortized over the term of the loan which expires March 1, 2014. The Company analyzed the conversion option under ASC 815 and determined and recorded a $449,840 derivative liability. The Company, in its sole discretion, may choose to pay interest in cash, shares of Common Stock, or in combination thereof. At the Company’s election, it may, at any time after the Six (6) month anniversary of the Transaction’s closing date, deliver a notice to the holders to redeem all of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures for cash. In the event the Company defaults, the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the debenture holders’ election, immediately due and payable in cash.
	In addition, the investors received 100% of the number of shares of common stock that the purchase amount would buy in warrants at the conversion price of $0.09, or a total of 11,764,706 warrants with a 5-year term. The Company recorded a discount from the relative fair value of the warrants and the intrinsic value of the conversion option of $208,685. The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model with the following assumptions: stock price of $0.07 on the measurement date; warrant term of 5 years; expected volatility between 112% and 593%; and a discount rate of 0.63% accounted for as debt discount, which will be amortized over the term of the loan which expires March 1, 2014. The Company analyzed the warrants under ASC 815 and determined and recorded a $222,603 derivative liability.
	The Debentures are secured by the remaining unencumbered assets of the Company. The Company’s subsidiary companies guaranteed the security agreement by agreeing to act as surety for the payment of the Debentures.
	As further consideration for the Debentures, the Company issued a combined total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock to the investors. The Company recorded $299,600 as a debt discount at issuance and will amortize the debt discount over the term of the debt. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company amortized $5,912. The Company shall take all actions necessary to nominate and recommend shareholder approval for the appointment of One (1) director selected by Hillair Capital Management LLC to ESP’s Board of Directors. In conjunction with this debenture the Company paid $70,000 of professional fees and recorded these fees as debt discount to be amortized over the term of the debenture. The Company determined that the Debenture and warrant had derivative features and derivative liabilities were established for each (see Note 8).

	Note 8 – Derivative Liability
	On September 30, 2013 the Company agreed with certain of its convertible debenture holders to amend and restate the November 14, 2012 convertible debenture. The September 1, 2013 payment obligation was extended and deferred to $375,000 on December 1, 2013 and $625,000 on March 1, 2014 plus accrued interest; the conversion price was amended and restated to $0.05 from $0.085; the related Warrants exercise price per share of the Common Stock was amended and restated to $0.075 from $0.09.
	The November 14, 2012 16% convertible debenture included down-round provisions that reduce the exercise price of a warrant and convertible instrument as required by ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” if the Company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price. The Company evaluated whether its warrants and convertible debt instruments contain provisions that protect holders from declines in its stock price or otherwise could result in modification of either the exercise price or the shares to be issued under the respective warrant agreements. The Company determined that a portion of its outstanding warrants and conversion instruments contained such provisions thereby concluding they were not indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore a derivative instrument.
	The range of significant assumptions which the Company used to measure the fair value of warrant liabilities (a level 3 input) at September 30, 2013 is as follows:
		Warrant				Debenture
	Stock price	$			0.02	$			0.02
	Term (Years)				4.1				0.7
	Volatility		123%	-	419%		123%	-	419%

	Exercise prices		$0.08	to	$0.01		$0.05	to	$0.02
	Dividend yield				0.00%				0.00%
	The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model. The fair value of these warrant liabilities at September 30, 2013 was $269,440 and at December 31, 2012 was $924,243. The change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $654,803 was included in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

	Note 11 – Guarantee Liability
	On November 3, 2008, ESP provided a guarantee to a director of Aurora and Boreal who loaned $120,000 to Aurora and Boreal. ESP provided this guarantee to encourage the director’s continued employment and commitment to the development of the concessions held by Aurora and Boreal, which the Company believed was vital to the future success of Aurora and Boreal. In the event that Aurora and Boreal did not repay the loan by the due date of June 1, 2009, ESP guaranteed it would make the payment in the form of a convertible note due June 1, 2011. The convertible note is non-interest bearing and is convertible into common stock of ESP at $1.20 per share. In exchange for issuing the convertible note to the director, ESP will receive the right to receive payments under the director’s note receivable from Aurora and Boreal.
	ESP recorded the fair value of the guarantee liability at $48,000, which represented the fair value of the note receivable from Aurora and Boreal which ESP would take over from the director. On June 1, 2009 when Aurora and Boreal did not make the required payments on their notes payable to the director, ESP determined that the value of the guarantee liability should be increased to the full face amount of the guaranteed note of $120,000, resulting in a loss on guarantee liability of $72,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no changes in the matter during 2011 and 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 hence the balance remains the same.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	The valuation of our embedded derivatives and warrant derivatives are determined primarily by the multinomial distribution (Lattice) model.  An embedded derivative is a derivative instrument that is embedded within another contract, which under the convertible note (the host contract) includes the right to convert the note by the holder, certain default redemption right premiums and a change of control premium (payable in cash if a fundamental change occurs). In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended, these embedded derivatives are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. A warrant derivative liability is also determined in accordance with ASC 815. Based on ASC 815, warrants which are determined to be classified as derivative liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. The practical effect of this has been that when our stock price increases so does our derivative liability resulting in a non-cash loss charge that reduces our earnings and earnings per share. When our stock price declines, we record a non-cash gain, increasing our earnings and earnings per share. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
	● Level 1	unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
	● Level 2	inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
	● Level 3	unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
	This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.
	To determine the fair value of our embedded derivatives, management evaluates assumptions regarding the probability of certain future events. Other factors used to determine fair value include our period end stock price, historical stock volatility, risk free interest rate and derivative term. The fair value recorded for the derivative liability varies from period to period. This variability may result in the actual derivative liability for a period either above or below the estimates recorded on our consolidated financial statements, resulting in significant fluctuations in other income (expense) because of the corresponding non-cash gain or loss recorded.
