Nature of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies | ' |
Basis of presentation |
|
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of STW Resources Holding Corp (“STW,” “we,” “us, “our” and “our Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014, or for any other interim period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year as filed on June 20, 2014. The December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited condensed consolidated balance sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year as filed on June 20, 2014. |

History of the Company |
|
STW Resources Holding Corp. (“STW”) or the “Company”, f/k/a Woozyfly Inc. and STW Global Inc. is a corporation formed to utilize state of the art water reclamation technologies to reclaim fresh water from highly contaminated oil and gas hydraulic fracture flow-back salt water that is produced in conjunction with the production of oil and gas. STW has been working to establish contracts with oil and gas operators for the deployment of multiple water reclamation systems throughout Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and the Appalachian Basin of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. STW, in conjunction with energy producers, operators, various state agencies and legislators, is working to create an efficient and economical solution to this complex problem. The Company is also evaluating the deployment of similar technology in the municipal wastewater industry. |
|
The Company’s operations are located in the United States of America and the principal executive offices are located at 3424 South County Road 1192, Midland, Texas 79706. |
|
Consolidation policy |
|
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2014, include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: STW Resources, Inc., STW Oilfield Construction LLC, STW Pipeline Maintenance Construction, LLC, and its 75% owned subsidiary STW Energy, LLC. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013, include STW Resources Holding Corp and STW Energy, LLC as the other subsidiaries noted above were not established until the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
The Company also consolidates any variable interest entities (VIEs), of which it is the primary beneficiary, as defined. The Company does not have any VIEs that need to be consolidated at this time. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts a significant influence over the entity, the Company would apply the equity method of accounting. |
|
Reclassifications |
|
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. There was no change to the previously reported net loss. |
|
Non-Controlling interest |
|
On June 25, 2013, the Company invested in a 75% limited liability company (“LLC”) interest in STW Energy Services, LLC (“STW Energy”). The non-controlling interest in STW Energy is held by Crown Financial, LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Company (“Crown” or “Crown Financial”). As of December 31, 2013, $2,500 was recorded as the equity of the non-controlling interest in our consolidated balance sheet representing the third-party investment in STW Energy, with a net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of $45,924 for the year ended December 31, 2013. During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, a net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of $30,928 was incurred. During the six months ended June 30. 2013, a net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of $771 was incurred. As of June 30, 2014, the net deficit interest in the subsidiary held by the non-controlling interest is $76,852. |
|
Going Concern |
|
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $30,822,936 as of June 30, 2014, and as of that date was delinquent in payment of $2,336,107 of sales, payroll taxes, and penalties. As of June 30, 2014, $2,807,127 of notes payable is in default. Since its inception in January 2008 management has raised equity and debt financing of approximately $15,000,000 to fund operations and provide working capital. The cash resources of the Company are insufficient to meet its planned business objectives without additional financing. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
|
Management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing; (b) executing contracts with oil and gas operators and municipal utility districts; and (c) controlling overhead and expenses. |
|
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations. At June 30, 2014, the Company had $758,240 of cash on hand; however, the Company raised $559,000 from the issuance of 5,590,000 shares of its common shares during the period July 1, 2014 through October 21, 2014, to sustain its operations. Management expects that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through December 31, 2014. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt or equity securities for cash to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, and that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case or equity financing. |
|
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. |
|
Use of Estimates |
|
Condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, management has estimated the collectability of its accounts receivable, the valuation of long lived assets, the assumptions used to calculate its derivative liabilities, and equity instruments issued for financing and compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Accounts Receivable |
|
Trade accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts consists primarily of receivables from oil & gas services fees. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical losses and current economic conditions. On a continuing basis, management analyzes delinquent receivables, and once these receivables are determined to be uncollectible, they are written off either against an existing allowance account or as a direct charge to the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, the Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts is required, but has determined it to be immaterial. |
|
Loan Discounts |
|
The Company amortizes loan discounts under the effective interest method. |
|
Concentration of Credit Risk |
|
A financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company places its cash with financial institutions deemed by management to be of high credit quality. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) provides basic deposit coverage with limits to $250,000 per owner per institution. At June 30, 2014, there were no account balance per institution that would have exceeded the $250,000 insurance limit. |
|
The Company anticipates entering into long-term fixed-price contracts for its services with select oil and gas producers and municipal utilities. The Company will control credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. |
|
As of June 30, 2014, three vendors accounted for 11%, 10% and 7% of total accounts payable. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, three vendors accounted for 83% of total purchases. During the three months ending June 30, 2014 three vendors totaled 85% of purchases. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, one vendor, a subcontractor, accounted for 100% of total purchases. |
|
As of June 30, 2014, three customers accounted for 34%, 7% and 6% of accounts receivable. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, three customers accounted for 27%, 22% and 9% of net revenues. As of June 30, 2013, 100% of accounts receivable were from one customer. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, one customer accounted for 100% of revenues. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
“Fair value” is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. |
|
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and derivative liabilities. The carrying value for all such instruments except convertible notes payable and derivative liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Our derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value (see Note 5). |
|
We determine the fair value of our financial instruments based on a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements under which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s use of assumptions to external and internal information. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy: |
|
Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities. Currently, we do not have any items classified as Level 1. |
|
Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Currently, we do not have any items classified as Level 2. |
|
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and involve management judgment. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) to determine the fair value of the financial instruments. |
|
If the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, a financial security’s hierarchy level is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. |
|
Our derivative liabilities consist of embedded conversion features on debt, price protection features on warrants, and derivatives due to insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts which are carried at fair value, and are classified as Level 3 liabilities. We use Black-Scholes to determine the fair value of these instruments (see Note 5). |
|
Management has used the simplified Black Scholes model to estimate fair value of derivative instruments. Management believes that as a result of the relatively short term nature of the warrants and convertibility features, a lattice model would not result in a materially different valuation. |
|
The following table presents certain financial instruments measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. |
|
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | Total | |
Fair value of Derivative Liability at June 30, 2014 | | $ | -- | | | $ | -- | | | $ | 1,128,152 | | | $ | 1,128,152 | |
31-Dec-13 | | $ | -- | | | $ | -- | | | $ | 1,630,985 | | | $ | 1,630,985 | |
|
Accounting for Derivatives Liabilities |
|
The Company evaluates stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. Financial instruments classified as derivative instrument is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as an asset or a liability with the change in fair value adjusted through the statement of operations. In the event that the fair value is recorded as an asset or liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. |
|
Certain of the Company’s embedded conversion features on debt, price protection features on outstanding common stock warrants are treated as derivatives for accounting purposes. The common stock purchase warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset or liability. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised, expire or the related rights have been waived. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market. The Company estimates the fair value of these warrants and embedded conversion features as derivative liabilities contracts using Black-Scholes (see Note 5). |
|
Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services |
|
Issuances of the Company’s common stock for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates. |
|
Long-lived Assets and Intangible Assets |
|
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. |
|
The Company had no such asset impairments during the three and six months ending June 30, 2014 or for the year ending December 31, 2013. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products and services under development will continue. Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets. |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company entered into Master Services Agreements (“MSA”) with several major oil & gas companies. These MSAs contract the Company to provide a range of oil & gas support services including oilfield site construction and maintenance, pipeline maintenance, oil rig cleaning, site preparation, energy support services, and other oil & gas support services. The Company bills these customers pursuant to purchase orders issued under the MSAs. The revenues billed include hourly labor fees and equipment usage fees. The Company recognized revenues from these contracts as the services are performed under the customer purchase orders and no further performance obligations exist, generally in the form of a customer approval. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized $9,126,698 of revenues from these services contracts, and $77,378 revenues from related parties. During the three months ending June 30, 2014 the Company realized revenue of $5,565,911 from services contracts and $37,386 of the service revenue was from related parties. |
|
Business Segments |
|
The Company has three reportable segments, (1) water reclamation services, (2) oil & gas services and (3) corporate operations. Segment information is reported in Note10. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
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 basis. 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. |
|
The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company established a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset in the future. Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any reduction in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate. |
|
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on its consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. |
|
Common Stock and Common Stock Warrants Issued to Employees |
|
The Company uses the fair value recognition provision of ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of any equity instruments on the grant date. |
|
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no grants of employee common stock options or warrants outstanding. |
|
Loss per Share |
|
The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted average number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share due to the lack of dilutive items. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had 78,617,973 and 102,350,791 dilutive shares outstanding, respectively, which have been excluded as their effect is anti-dilutive. |
|
Property and Equipment |
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated or amortized on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: |
|
Computer equipment and software | | 3 years | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Furniture | | 3 years | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Machinery | | 3-5 years | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|
Stock Subscriptions Payable |
|
The initial balance of stock subscriptions payable as of December 31, 2013, was $310,000 representing 2,000,000 shares to be issued. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received stock subscriptions and $662,500 of proceeds from a unit offering of its common stock in consideration of 8,281,250 shares of its common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, $272,500 of these stock subscriptions payable were issued representing 3,406,250 shares of common stock, including $150,000, or 1,875,000 shares, of the December 31, 2013 subscription payable. The remaining balance of stock subscriptions payable as of June 30, 2014, is $700,000 representing 6,875,000 shares to be issued. |
