Basis of Financial Statement Presentation | Basis of Financial Statement Presentation |
|
|
|
The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of National Automation Services, a Nevada corporation (“NAS” or the “Company”), have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
|
|
These financial statements have been presented in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules governing a smaller reporting company for both periods of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. |

Business Overview | |
|
Business Overview |
|
|
|
NAS is a public holding company that holds subsidiaries which provide services for the domestic oil and gas industry. Our business plan takes action with expansion through carefully selected acquisitions. Our services are needed by a wide variety of oil and natural gas industry providers in both private and public sectors. Our focus is to increase shareholder value through these carefully selected companies with NAS bringing oversight and resources to each, which will allow them to maximize profitability and growth opportunities within their markets, and expanding their customer base. This strategy will allow for rapid advancement in overall assets and revenue streams for the Company. |
|
|
|
On February 24, 2014, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with JD Field Services (“JD”). This is the first of several anticipated acquisitions that NAS has as a part of its growth strategy. JD provides oilfield services to the oil and gas industry primarily focused around those activities that are related to the drilling, operation(s) and maintenance of the well-site. They are licensed in all states west of the Mississippi River including Alaska to do trucking, but are focused primarily in the Rocky Mountain Region. Oilfield services provided include heavy haul, water haul, and rig moving services as well as equipment, supplies, and specialty long hauling services. JD also provides oil and gas equipment rental services, hot shot, roustabout services and construction site development services. JD also operates a fabrication division that builds special-order oil and gas equipment and trucks for customers. |

Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates |
|
|
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk | Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk |
|
|
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and generally limits the amount of credit exposure to the amount in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2014, the Company did not have cash in any one banking institution that exceeded this limit. |
|
Customers | Customers |
|
JD's customers are the major and independent oil and gas companies that are active in the geographic areas in which it operates. There were no single customers that exceeded 14% of JD's total revenues in 2014. JD's inability to continue to perform services for a number of its large existing customers, if not offset by sales to new or other existing customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operations. The following table represents JD's customers that make up 10% or more of JD's total revenue and their estimated concentrations on JD's revenues: |
|
Customer Name | | Percentage | | |
of |
Revenue |
Anadarko Petroleum | | 14 | % | |
Helmerich & Payne Int'l | | 13 | % | |
New Field Production Co. | | 10 | % | |
|
Potential Derivative Instruments | Potential Derivative Instruments |
|
|
|
The Company periodically assesses its financial and equity instruments to determine if they require derivative accounting. Instruments which may potentially require derivative accounting are conversion features of debt and common stock equivalents in excess of available authorized common shares. |
|
Prepaid Expenses | Prepaid Expenses |
|
|
|
Amounts paid in advance for a benefit not yet received. This type of expense normally includes costs paid in one fiscal year (or period) that benefits a future year (or period). |
|
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment |
|
|
|
As required by the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB” “ASC”), the Company is required to use a predetermined method in calculating depreciation expense. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally ten/fifteen years for heavy machinery, five years for vehicles, two to three years for computer software/hardware and office equipment and three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and office equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives. Upon the sale or retirement of property or equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from our balance sheet with the resulting gain or loss reflected in our results of operations. Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Due to the nature of the equipment, major repairs are capitalized as they reflect an adjustment to the overall value of the equipment and its useful life can be extended. |
|
|
|
In evaluating the salvage value service equipment the Company uses a standard of, Machinery and Equipment - Worth approximately 10 - 30% of purchase price after 10-15 years depending on the asset. Vehicles - Worth approximately 20% of purchase price after 10-15 years depending on the asset. These salvage values are based on industry averages for the type of machinery and equipment used in oilfield services. |
|
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
|
|
|
As required by the Receivables Topic of FASB ASC, the Company is required to use a predetermined method in calculating the current value for its bad debt on overall accounts receivable. |
|
|
|
The Company estimates its accounts receivable risks to provide allowances for doubtful accounts accordingly. We believe that our credit risk for accounts receivable is limited because of the way in which we conduct business largely in the areas of contracts. Accounts receivable includes the accrual of work in process for project contracts and field service revenue. We recognize that there is a potential of not being paid in a twelve (12) month period. Our evaluation includes the length of time receivables are past due, adverse situations that may affect a contract's scope to be paid, and prevailing economic conditions. We assess each and every customer to conclude whether or not remaining balances outstanding need to be placed into allowance and then re-evaluated for write-off. We review all accounts to ensure that all efforts have been exhausted before noting that a customer will not pay for services rendered. The evaluation is inherently subjective and estimates may be revised as more information becomes available. |
|
Sales Taxes | Sales Taxes |
|
|
|
The Company collects sales tax. The amount received is credited to a liability account as payments are received or invoices are generated. At any point in time, this account represents the net amount owed to the taxing authority for amounts collected but not yet remitted. Sales taxes are then remitted to the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. |
|
Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
|
|
|
As required by the Income Tax Topic of FASB ASC, income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with the new codification standards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. |
|
|
|
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The computation of limitations relating to the amount of such tax assets, and the determination of appropriate valuation allowances relating to the realizing of such assets, are inherently complex and require the exercise of judgment. As additional information becomes available, and at least quarterly due to current business operations, the Company assesses the carrying value of our net deferred tax assets. |
|
Stock Based Compensation | Stock Based Compensation |
|
|
|
Stock based compensation is accounted for using the Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employee Topic of the FASB ASC, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The Company determines the value of stock issued at the date of grant. The Company also determines at the date of grant the value of stock at fair market value or the value of services rendered (based on contract or otherwise) whichever is more readily determinable. |
|
Earnings (loss) per share basic and diluted | Earnings (loss) per share basic and diluted |
|
|
|
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Earnings per Share Topic of the FASB ASC. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earnings (loss) per share. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding. |
|
|
|
Potentially dilutive common shares consist of employee stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities, and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation in periods where the Company has incurred net loss. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company incurred net income, resulting in dilutive common shares, and during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred net loss, resulting in no dilutive common shares. |
|
Fair Value Accounting | Fair Value Accounting |
|
|
|
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions (For additional information see Note 12: Fair value). |
|
|
|
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: |
|
|
|
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
|
|
|
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; |
|
|
|
Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
|
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition |
|
|
|
As required by the Revenue Recognition Topic of FASB ASC, the Company is required to use predetermined contract methods in determining the current value for revenue. |
|
|
|
Service Contracts Service revenue is recognized on a completed project basis - the Company invoices the client when it has completed the services, thereby, ensuring the client is legally liable to the Company for payment of the invoice. On service contracts, revenue is not recognized until the services have been performed. |
|
|
|
In all cases, revenue is recognized as earned by the Company. As the client becomes liable to the Company for services provided, as defined in the agreement, the client is then invoiced and revenue is accordingly recognized and recorded. The Company does not recognize or record any revenues for which it does not have a legal basis for invoicing or legally collecting. |
|
Reverse Stock Split | Reverse Stock Split |
|
|
|
On September 11, 2014, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to implement a reverse stock split in the ratio of 1 share for every 200 shares of common stock. This amendment was approved and filed on record by the Nevada Secretary of State, effective September 11, 2014. On December 11, 2014, FINRA approved the reverse stock split for the Company. All the relevant information relating to numbers of shares and per share information contained in these consolidated financial statements has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented. |
