Nature of Business | |
Forbes Energy Services Ltd. (“FES Ltd”) is an independent oilfield services contractor that provides a wide range of well site services to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies to help develop and enhance the production of oil and natural gas. These services include fluid hauling, fluid disposal, well maintenance, completion services, workovers and recompletions, plugging and abandonment, and tubing testing. Our operations are concentrated in the major onshore oil and natural gas producing regions of Texas, with additional locations in Mississippi, Pennsylvania and, prior to the disposition of our assets in Mexico in January 2012. We believe that our broad range of services, which extends from initial drilling, through production, to eventual abandonment, is fundamental to establishing and maintaining the flow of oil and natural gas throughout the life cycle of our customers’ wells. | |
As used in these consolidated financial statements, the “Company,” the “Forbes Group,” “we,” and “our” mean FES Ltd and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, except as otherwise indicated. |

Risk and Uncertainties | |
As an independent oilfield services contractor that provides a broad range of drilling-related and production-related services to oil and natural gas companies, primarily onshore in Texas, our revenue, profitability, cash flows and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on our ability to (1) maintain adequate equipment utilization, (2) maintain adequate pricing for the services we provide, and (3) maintain a trained work force. Failure to do so could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. | |
Because our revenues are generated primarily from customers who are subject to the same factors generally impacting the oil and natural gas industry, our operations are also susceptible to market volatility resulting from economic, cyclical, weather related, or other factors related to such industry. Changes in the level of operating and capital spending in the industry, decreases in oil and natural gas prices, or industry perception about future oil and natural gas prices could materially decrease the demand for our services, adversely affecting our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||||||||||||
Reclassification | |||||||||||||||||
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. | |||||||||||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for each of the three years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 include the accounts of FES Ltd and all of its wholly owned, direct and indirect subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||||||||||
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“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 consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management believes that these estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||||||||||||
Well Servicing –Well servicing consists primarily of maintenance services, workover services, completion services, plugging and abandonment services, and tubing testing. The Forbes Group prices well servicing by the hour of service performed, or on occasion, bid/turnkey pricing. | |||||||||||||||||
Fluid Logistics – Fluid logistics consists primarily of the sale, transportation, storage, and disposal of fluids used in drilling, production, and maintenance of oil and natural gas wells. The Company prices fluid logistics services by the job, by the hour, or by the quantities sold, disposed, or hauled. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the price is fixed or determinable. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-45 “Principal Agent Considerations” (“ASC 605-45”) revenues are presented net of any sales taxes collected by the Forbes Group from its customers that are remitted to governmental authorities. | |||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||||||||
The Company recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities 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 statutory 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 rate is recognized in the period that includes the statutory enactment date. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recognized when it is more likely than not that the benefit of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Additionally, the Company records uncertain tax positions at their net recognizable amount, based on the amount that management deems is more likely than not to be sustained upon ultimate settlement with tax authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate. | |||||||||||||||||
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions should be recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all the relevant information. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions is to record such items as a component of tax expense. The Company has not recognized any material uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. | |||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||||||||
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. | |||||||||||||||||
Restricted Cash | |||||||||||||||||
Restricted cash is serving as collateral for certain outstanding letters of credit. Restricted cash of $1.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, is classified as a long-term asset as it collateralizes certain long-term insurance notes. | |||||||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Translation | |||||||||||||||||
The functional currency of our Mexican subsidiaries was the Mexican peso. Accordingly, all balance sheet accounts of this operation were translated into United States dollars using the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The expenses of our Mexican subsidiaries were translated using the average exchange rates in effect during the period, and the gains and losses from foreign currency translation were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Our Mexican subsidiaries were substantially liquidated during 2012 and, consequently, the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) totaling $0.8 million was recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for 2012 in discontinued operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Earnings per Share | |||||||||||||||||
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share “EPS” data for its common stock. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares comprised of options granted, restricted stock, and restricted stock units. Preferred stock is a participating security under ASC 260 which means the security may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock. In accordance with ASC 260, securities are deemed to not be participating in losses if there is no obligation to fund such losses. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock would be entitled to share in dividends, on an as-converted basis, if the holders of common stock were to receive dividends in excess of 5% of the then current common stock market price on a cumulative basis over the past twelve months, provided that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock would only share in that portion of the dividend that exceeds 5%. The Series B Preferred Stock was not deemed to be participating since there were net losses from operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011. The Series B Preferred Stock was not deemed to be participating since income from operations was not in excess of the amounts above for the year ended December 31, 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||
The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. | |||||||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable-trade, accounts receivable-related | |||||||||||||||||
parties, accounts receivable – other, other current assets, accounts payable – trade, prepaid expenses, accounts payable-related parties, insurance notes, deposits on assets held for sale, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of third party notes and equipment notes are level two inputs in the fair value hierarchy, and approximate their carrying values, based on current market rates at which the company could borrow funds with similar maturities. | |||||||||||||||||

The fair value of our 9% Senior Notes is a level one input within the fair value hierarchy and is based on the dealer quoted market prices at December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | |||||||||||||||||
Accounts receivable are based on earned revenues. The Forbes Group provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded when it becomes evident that the customer will not be likely to make the required payments at either contractual due dates or in the future. The accounts are written off against the provision when it becomes evident that the account is not collectable. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $4.0 million and $2.7 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||

Property and Equipment | |||||||||||||||||
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Improvements or betterments that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. The costs of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the period of disposal. Gains or losses resulting from property disposals are credited or charged to operations currently. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for book purposes. Depreciation expense from continuing operations was $52.0 million, $48.1 million, and $39.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. For tax purposes, property and equipment are depreciated under appropriate methods prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. | |||||||||||||||||
Other Intangibles | |||||||||||||||||
Other intangible assets are assets (not including financial assets) that lack physical substance. We account for other intangible assets under the provisions of ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). Other finite-lived intangible assets are subject to amortization for the period of time which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows as described in ASC 350. | |||||||||||||||||
Impairments | |||||||||||||||||
In accordance with ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), long-lived assets, such as property, and equipment, and finite-lived intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of such assets to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Expected future cash flows and carrying values are aggregated at their lowest identifiable level. If the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The Company evaluated its asset group in accordance with ASC 360 which resulted in no impairment for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. | |||||||||||||||||
Environmental | |||||||||||||||||
The Company is subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Forbes Group to remove or mitigate the adverse environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. | |||||||||||||||||
Deferred Financing Costs | |||||||||||||||||
The Company amortizes the deferred financing costs for the costs incurred with our 9% Senior Notes and for the loan agreement governing our revolving credit facility. These costs are amortized over the period of the agreements governing the 9% Senior Notes and the revolving credit facility on an effective interest basis, as a component of interest expense. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 amortization of deferred financing costs was $1.5 million, $1.5 million, and $1.6 million, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||
Share-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, (“ASC 718”). Upon adoption of ASC 718, the Company selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate model for determining the estimated fair value for stock options. The Company measures share-based compensation cost as of the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award less an estimated rate for pre-vesting forfeitures, and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation expense is recognized with an off-setting credit to additional paid-in capital. When the award is distributed or the option is exercised, an entry is made to additional paid-in capital with the off-set to common stock equal to the par value times the number of shares. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is also credited to additional paid-in capital. | |||||||||||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |||||||||||||||||
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exist” (“ASU2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 reduces diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and is intended to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. ASU 2013-11 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 and the Company does not believe it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |

Other intangible assets are subject to amortization for the period of time which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows under the guidance of ASC 350. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our major classes of intangible assets subject to amortization under ASC 350 consist of our customer relationships, trade name, safety training program, and dispatch software. The Company expenses costs associated with extensions or renewals of intangibles assets. There were no such extensions or renewals in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011. Amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the period indicated. Amortization expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $2.9 million. Estimated amortization expense for the years 2014-2017 is $2.9 million per year and in 2018 the estimated amortization expense is $2.7 million. The weighted average amortization period remaining for intangible assets is 8.8 years. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Incentive Compensation Plans | |||||||||||||
From time to time, the Company grants stock options, restricted stock units, or other awards to its employees, including executive officers, and directors. Prior to July 9, 2012, these awards were granted pursuant to the Company's 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2008 Plan. On July 9, 2012, at the Company's 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company's shareholders approved the Company's 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2012 Plan. No further awards will be made under the 2008 Plan, however, outstanding awards granted under the 2008 Plan will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the 2008 Plan. Any shares of common stock that are available to be granted under the 2008 Plan, but which are not subject to outstanding awards under the 2008 Plan, including shares that become available due to the future lapse or forfeiture of outstanding awards, will be added to the 1,022,500 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2012 Plan. After taking into account the restricted stock and restricted stock units granted during 2013 (as discussed in the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units paragraph below), there were 1,346,546 shares available for future grants under the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan. There have been no stock option awards issued under the 2012 Plan. | |||||||||||||
Stock Options | |||||||||||||
Stock options issued in 2008 originally vested over a three-year period. On August 11, 2011, the Company exchanged 667,500 of these 2008 options in a 0.72 to 1 exchange for 480,600 options (the “Exchange Options”). These Exchange Options vested one-third every four months from the exchange date and the Company recognized $0.1 million of compensation expense for this exchange over such 12 month period. For the 2011 stock option issuances other than the Exchange Options, the standard option vested over a three year period, with one-third vesting on the annual anniversary of the award date and one third vesting every year thereafter, until fully vested. For most grantees, options expire at the earlier of either one year after the termination of grantee’s employment by reason of death, disability or retirement, ninety days after termination of the grantee’s employment other than upon grantee’s death, disability or retirement, or ten years after the date of grant. | |||||||||||||

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of $0.7 million, $3.0 million, and $2.9 million, respectively. No stock-based compensation costs were capitalized in 2013, 2012 or 2011. As of December 31, 2013, total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost for stock options amounted to $1.2 million, (net of estimated forfeitures) and is expected to be recorded over a weighted-average period of 0.66 years. | |||||||||||||
There were no stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. At December 31, 2013, outstanding options had a weighted average remaining contractual term of 6.47 years. The amount of unrecognized stock-based compensation will be affected by any future stock option grants and any termination of employment by any employee that has received stock option grants that are unvested as of their termination date. Under the true-up provisions of ASC 718, the Company will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture is higher than estimated. | |||||||||||||
Assumptions for Estimating Fair Value of Stock Option Grants | |||||||||||||
Upon adoption of ASC 718, the Company selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate model for determining the estimated fair value for stock options. The use of the Black-Scholes model requires the use of extensive actual employee exercise behavior data and the use of a number of complex assumptions including expected volatility and expected term. | |||||||||||||
There were no stock options granted in 2013 or 2012. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to value options granted during the year ended: | |||||||||||||
2011 | |||||||||||||
Expected term | 4 years - 6.5 years | ||||||||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.68% - 1.45% | ||||||||||||
Volatility | 97% | ||||||||||||
Dividend yield | 0% | ||||||||||||
Grant date fair value per share | $6.28 - $8.00 | ||||||||||||
The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate with a term consistent with the expected life of the options. For the 2011 options, the Company’s historical common stock value was used to calculate the expected volatility. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s expectation of no dividend payouts. | |||||||||||||
Restricted Stock | |||||||||||||
There was no restricted stock granted during 2013. The table below presents restricted stock activity for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||||

In the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, participants utilized a net withholding exercise method, in which restricted stock units were surrendered to cover payroll withholding tax. The cumulative net shares issued to the participants who chose the net withholding exercise was 116,549 shares compared to 155,400 granted shares of restricted stock units and shown in the shares vested for the year of 374,848. The total pretax cash outflow, as included in withholding tax payments in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, for this net withholding exercise was $0.1 million. | |||||||||||||
Stock compensation expense of $2.1 million and $0.1 million was recognized for the restricted stock units granted for the years ended 2013 and 2012, respectively. The remaining compensation expense to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 year is $1.6 million. |

9% Senior Notes | ||||||||
On June 7, 2011, FES Ltd issued $280.0 million in principal amount of 9% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “9% Senior Notes”). The proceeds of the 9% Senior Notes were used to purchase and/or redeem 100% of the First Priority Floating Rate Notes due 2014 and the outstanding Second Priority Notes (as defined below) issued by Forbes Energy Services LLC and Forbes Energy Capital Inc. The 9% Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2019, and require semi-annual interest payments, in arrears, at an annual rate of 9% on June 15 and December 15 of each year until maturity commencing December 15, 2011. No principal payments are due until maturity. | ||||||||
The 9% Senior Notes are guaranteed by the current domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subs”) of FES Ltd, which include Forbes Energy Services LLC (“FES LLC”), C.C. Forbes, LLC (“CCF”), TX Energy Services, LLC (“TES”), Superior Tubing Testers, LLC (“STT”) and Forbes Energy International, LLC (“FEI LLC”). All of the Guarantor Subs are 100% owned and each guarantees the securities on a full and unconditional and joint and several basis, subject to customary release provisions. Prior to January 12, 2012, FES Ltd had two 100% owned indirect Mexican subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor Subs that had not guaranteed the 9% Senior Notes. In January 2012, one of those two Mexican subsidiaries was sold along with the business and substantially all of our long-lived assets located in Mexico. Prior to January 12, 2012, FES Ltd had a branch office in Mexico and conducted operations independent of the Non-Guarantor Subs. The Guarantor Subs represent the substantial majority of the Company’s operations. On or after June 15, 2015, the Forbes Group may, at its option, redeem all or part of the 9% Senior Notes from time to time at specified redemption prices and subject to certain conditions required by the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes (the “9% Senior Indenture”). The Forbes Group is required to make an offer to purchase the notes and to repurchase any notes for which the offer is accepted at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if there is a change of control. The Forbes Group is required to make an offer to repurchase the notes and to repurchase any notes for which the offer is accepted at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, following certain asset sales. | ||||||||
The Forbes Group is permitted under the terms of the 9% Senior Indenture to incur additional indebtedness in the future, provided that certain financial conditions set forth in the 9% Senior Indenture are satisfied. The Forbes Group is subject to certain covenants contained in the 9% Senior Indenture, including provisions that limit or restrict the Forbes Group’s and certain future subsidiaries’ abilities to incur additional debt, to create, incur or permit to exist certain liens on assets, to make certain dispositions of assets, to make payments on certain subordinated indebtedness, to pay dividends or certain other payments to equity holders, to engage in mergers, consolidations or other fundamental changes, to change the nature of its business or to engage in transactions with affiliates. Due to cross-default provisions in the indenture governing our 9% Senior Notes and the loan agreement governing our revolving credit facility, with certain exceptions, a default and acceleration of outstanding debt under one debt agreement would result in the default and possible acceleration of outstanding debt under the other debt agreement. Accordingly, an event of default could result in all or a portion of our outstanding debt under our debt agreements becoming immediately due and payable. If this occurred, we might not be able to obtain waivers or secure alternative financing to satisfy all of our obligations simultaneously, which would adversely affect our business and operations. | ||||||||
Details of two of the more significant restrictive covenants in the 9% Senior Indenture are set forth below: | ||||||||
• | Limitation on the Incurrence of Additional Debt - In addition to certain indebtedness defined in the 9% Senior Indenture as "Permitted Debt," which includes indebtedness under any credit facility not to exceed the greater of $75.0 million or 18% of the Company's Consolidated Tangible Assets (as defined in the 9% Senior Indenture), we may only incur additional debt if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 9% Senior Indenture) for the most recently completed four full fiscal quarters is at least 2.0 to 1.0. | |||||||
• | Limitation on Restricted Payments - Subject to certain limited exceptions, including specific permission to pay cash dividends on the Company's Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock up to $260,000 per quarter, the Company is prohibited from (i) declaring or paying dividends or other distributions on its equity securities (other than dividends or distributions payable in equity securities), (ii) purchasing or redeeming any of the Company's equity securities, (iii) making any payment on indebtedness contractually subordinated to the 9% Senior Notes, except a payment of interest or principal at the stated maturity thereof, or (iv) making any investment defined as a "Restricted Investment," unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such payment, the Company is not in default and the Company is able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 9% Senior Indenture). Further, the amount of such payment plus all other such payments made by the Company since the issuance of the 9% Senior Notes must be less than the aggregate of (a) 50% of Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the 9% Senior Indenture) since the April 1, 2011 (or 100%, if such figure is a deficit), (b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds from equity offerings since the issuance of the 9% Senior Notes, (c) if any Restricted Investments have been sold for cash, the proceeds from such sale (or the original cash investment if that amount is lower); and (d) 50% of any dividends received by the Company. | |||||||
The Company is in compliance with the covenants under the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes at December 31, 2013. | ||||||||
Second Priority Notes | ||||||||
On February 12, 2008, FES LLC and Forbes Energy Capital Inc. (“FES CAP”), a subsidiary of FES LLC that was dissolved in November 2011, issued $205.0 million in principal amount of 11.0% senior secured notes due 2015 (together with notes issued in exchange therefore, the “Second Priority Notes”). Pursuant to the requirements of the indenture governing the Second Priority Notes (the “Second Priority Indenture”), during 2009 and 2010, we had repurchased a total of $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Second Priority Notes. In May 2011, we commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the Second Priority Notes then outstanding. In connection with this tender offer, we successfully solicited consents to proposed amendments that would eliminate most of the restrictive covenants and event of default provisions contained in the Second Priority Indenture. In June 2011, pursuant to this tender offer, we purchased 99.8% of the outstanding principal amount of the Second Priority Notes. As a result of the completion of the tender offer, the fourth supplemental indenture to the Second Priority Indenture, which contained the amendments proposed in the consent solicitation, became effective eliminating most of the restrictive covenants and event of default provisions of the Second Priority Indenture.

On June 7, 2011, FES Ltd used a portion of the proceeds of the offering of the 9% Senior Notes to purchase all of the $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the First Priority Notes outstanding at which time the indenture governing the First Priority was discharged and the liens related thereto were released. The penalty payment on the early redemption was $0.6 million or 3.0%. Unamortized deferred financing charges written off in connection with the redemption were $0.9 million. Total loss on early extinguishment of debt related to First Priority Notes was $1.5 million. | ||||||||
Revolving Credit Facility | ||||||||
On September 9, 2011, FES Ltd. and its current domestic subsidiaries entered into a loan and security agreement with Regions Bank, SunTrust Bank, CIT Bank and Capital One Leverage Finance Corp., as lenders, and Regions Bank, as agent for the secured parties, or the Agent. This loan and security agreement was amended in December 2011, July 2012 and July 2013. On the July 2013 amendment, the CIT Bank opted out of the lending group, with Regions Bank increasing its participation by taking CIT Bank's position. The loan and security agreement initially provided for an asset based revolving credit facility with a maximum initial borrowing credit of $75.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability and other limitations. The third amendment increased the maximum borrowing credit to $90.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability, any reserves established by the facility agent in its discretion, compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant if availability under the facility falls below certain thresholds and, for borrowings above $75.0 million, compliance with the debt incurrence covenant in the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes this indenture covenant prohibits the incurrence of debt except for certain limited exceptions, including indebtedness incurred under the permitted credit facility debt basket to the greater of $75.0 million or 18% of our Consolidated Tangible Assets (as defined in the 9% Senior Indenture) reported for the last fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available. As of December 31, 2013, 18% of our Consolidated Tangible Assets (as defined in the 9% Senior Indenture) was approximately $84.3 million. If our availability under the credit facility dropped below 15% of our total borrowing credit (as described above), we are required to maintain a trailing four-quarter fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1. We would currently be in compliance with this covenant if it were applicable. | ||||||||
As of December 31, 2013, there were no amounts drawn and outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $5.9 million posted under the facility. Taking into account the limitations discussed above, we have at least $78.4 million of availability under our credit facility. As amended, the loan and security agreement has a stated maturity of July 26, 2018. The proceeds of this credit facility can be used for the purchase of well services equipment, permitted acquisitions, general operations, working capital and other general corporate purposes. | ||||||||
Under the loan and security agreement, our borrowing base at any time is equal to (i) 85% of eligible accounts, which are determined by Agent in its reasonable discretion, plus (ii) the lesser of 85% of the appraised value, subject to certain adjustments, of our well services equipment that has been properly pledged and appraised, is in good operating condition and is located in the United States, or 100% of the net book value of such equipment, minus (iii) any reserves established by the Agent in its reasonable discretion. | ||||||||
Prior to the third amendment, at our option, borrowings under this credit facility would have borne interest at a rate equal to either (i) the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of between 2.25% to 2.75% based on borrowing availability or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin of between 1.25% to 1.75% based on borrowing availability, where the base rate was equal to the greater of the prime rate established by Regions Bank, the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50% or the LIBOR rate for a one month period plus 1.00%. The third amendment decreased the revolving interest rate whereby borrowings under the Loan Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to either (a) the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of between 2.00% to 2.50% based on borrowing availability or (b) a base rate plus an applicable margin of between 1.00% to 1.50% based on borrowing availability, where the base rate is equal to the greater of the prime rate established by Regions Bank, the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the LIBOR rate for a one month period plus 1%. | ||||||||
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the facility, a fee of 0.375% per annum will accrue on unutilized availability under the credit facility. We are required to pay a fee of between 2.25% to 2.75%, based on borrowing availability, with respect to the principal amount of any letters of credit outstanding under the facility. We are also responsible for certain other administrative fees and expenses. | ||||||||
FES LLC, FEI LLC, TES, CCF and STT are the borrowers under the loan and security agreement. Their obligations have been guaranteed by one another and by FES Ltd. Subject to certain exceptions and permitted encumbrances, including the exemption of real property interests from the collateral package, the obligations under this facility are secured by a first priority security interest in all of our assets. | ||||||||
We are able to voluntarily repay outstanding loans at any time without premium or penalty (subject to the fees discussed above). If at any time our outstanding loans under the credit facility exceed the availability under our borrowing base, we may be required to repay the excess. Further, we are required to use the net proceeds from certain events, including certain judgments, tax refunds or insurance awards to repay outstanding loans, however, we may reborrow following such repayments if the conditions to borrowing are met. | ||||||||
The loan and security agreement contains customary covenants for an asset-based credit facility, which include (i) restrictions on certain mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; (ii) restrictions on the creation or existence of liens; (iii) restrictions on making certain investments; (iv) restrictions on the incurrence or existence of indebtedness; (v) restrictions on transactions with affiliates; (vi) requirements to deliver financial statements, report and notices to the Agent and (vii) a springing requirement to maintain a consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (which is defined in the loan and security agreement) of 1.1:1.0 in the event that our excess availability under the credit facility falls below the greater of $11.3 million or 15.0% of our maximum credit under the facility for sixty consecutive days; provided that, the restrictions described in (i)-(v) above are subject to certain exceptions and permissions limited in scope and dollar value. The loan and security agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and event of default provisions. As of December 31, 2013 we are in compliance with all applicable covenants in the loan and security agreement. | ||||||||
Third Party Equipment Notes and Capital Leases | ||||||||
During the past few years, the Forbes Group financed the purchase of certain vehicles and equipment through commercial loans with Paccar Financial Group, Mack Financial Services, Enterprise Fleet Management, and Regions Equipment Finance and capital leases, with aggregate principal amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 of approximately $15.1 million and $18.4 million, respectively. These loans are repayable in a range of 42 to 60 monthly installments with the maturity dates ranging from May 2013 to January 2018. Interest accrues at rates ranging from 4.7% to 8.42% and is payable monthly. The loans are collateralized by equipment purchased with the proceeds of such loans. The Forbes Group paid total principal payments of approximately $5.3 million, $4.5 million, and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. | ||||||||
Insurance Notes | ||||||||
During 2013 and 2012, the Forbes Group entered into promissory notes with First Insurance Funding for the payment of insurance premiums in an aggregate principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of approximately $4.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively during the period of the insurance coverage. These notes are or were payable in twelve monthly installments with maturity dates of October 15, 2014 and October 15, 2013, respectively. Interest accrues or accrued at a rate of approximately 2.9% and 3.3% for 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is payable monthly. The amount outstanding could be substantially offset by the cancellation of the related insurance coverage. | ||||||||
Deferred Financing Costs | ||||||||
The Company incurred deferred financing costs associated with our 9% Senior Notes and the loan agreement governing our revolving credit facility. Costs incurred were $0.3 million, $0.1 million, and $10.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. |

Commitments and Contingencies | ||||||||||||
Concentrations of Credit Risk | ||||||||||||
Financial instruments which subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash balances maintained in excess of federal depository insurance limits and trade receivables. All of our non-interest bearing cash balances were fully insured at December 31, 2012 due to a temporary federal program in effect from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012. Under the program, there is no limit to the amount of insurance for eligible accounts. In 2013, insurance coverage reverted to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution, and our non-interest bearing cash balances exceeded federally insured limits. The Company restricts investment of temporary cash investments to financial institutions with high credit standings. The Company’s customer base consists primarily of multi-national and independent oil and natural gas producers. The Company does not require collateral on its trade receivables. For the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company’s largest customer, five largest customers, and ten largest customers constituted 10.5%, 34.6%, and 49.7% of total revenues, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2012 the Company’s largest customer, five largest customers, and ten largest customers constituted 9.3%, 36.7%, and 57.5% of total revenues, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2011 the Company’s largest customer, five largest, and ten largest customers constituted 15.5%, 42.3%, and 59.1% of total revenues, respectively. The loss of any one of our top five customers would have a materially adverse effect on the revenues and profits of the company. Further, our trade accounts receivable are from companies within the oil and natural gas industry and as such the Company is exposed to normal industry credit risks. As of December 31, 2013, the Company's largest customer, five largest customers, and ten largest customers constituted 8.6%, 21.0%, and 30.5% of accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, the Company's largest customer, five largest customers, and ten largest customers consisted of 12.6%, 38.4%, and 55.3% of accounts receivable, respectively. The Company continually evaluates its reserves for potential credit losses and establishes reserves for such losses. | ||||||||||||
Major Customers | ||||||||||||
Major customers are defined as 10.0% or more of total revenue during a year. The Company had one customer that represented over 10.5% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company did not have any customer that represented 10.0% of total consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company had one customer that represented 15.5% of total consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011. | ||||||||||||
Employee Benefit Plan | ||||||||||||
In 2005, the Company has a 401(k) retirement plan for substantially all of its employees based on certain eligibility requirements. The Company may provide profit sharing contributions to the plan at the discretion of management. No such discretionary contributions have been made since inception of the plan. | ||||||||||||
Self-Insurance | ||||||||||||
The Company is self-insured under its Employee Group Medical Plan for the first $250,000 per individual and as of October 15, 2013, the Company purchased our Auto Liability and General Liability insurances and is now self-insured for the first $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Incurred and unprocessed claims under all policies as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 amount to approximately $1.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively. These claims are unprocessed; therefore their values are estimated and included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition, to accruals for the self-insured portion of the Employee Group Medical Benefits Plan, the liability for incurred and unprocessed claims also includes estimated “run off” liabilities payable at future dates related to the worker’s compensation, general liability and automobile liability self-insurance program that was eliminated in October 2009. | ||||||||||||
Litigation | ||||||||||||
The Company is subject to various other claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any of these claims and actions, separately or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, although we cannot guarantee that a material adverse effect will not occur. | ||||||||||||

We had a U.S. net operating loss carryforward at December 31, 2013 of approximately $50.7 million which is subject to expiration in various amounts from 2028 to 2031. We have no net operating loss carryforwards in Mexico at December 31, 2013. Realization of deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction prior to their expiration. Management believes it is more likely than not that the U.S. deferred tax asset associated with the net operating loss carryforward will be realized through future taxable income or reversal of taxable temporary differences. The amount of net operating loss that was used in 2013 was $8.7 million for a current tax cash savings of $3.0 million. | ||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2013, Management has elected to claim a deduction for foreign income taxes rather than a foreign tax credit due to the existence of an overall foreign loss position and the lack of future foreign source income, as a result of a subsequent sale of the Mexican operations. A valuation allowance in the amount of $0.8 million has been established as of December 31, 2013 against the foreign tax credit generated in previous years. | ||||||||||||
Deferred taxes have not been recognized on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries since these amounts were not material at December 31, 2013 and 2012. | ||||||||||||
The Company files U.S. federal, U.S. state, and foreign tax returns, and is generally no longer subject to tax examinations for fiscal years prior to 2009. |

Earnings (loss) per Share | ||||||||||||
Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares, such as options, unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units, and convertible preferred stock, were exercised and converted into common stock. Potential common stock equivalents that have been issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units, which are determined using the treasury stock method, and to the shares of Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), which are determined using the “if converted” method. In applying the if-converted method, conversion is not assumed for purposes of computing diluted EPS if the effect would be antidilutive. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were 1,400,425 and 1,997,925 options to purchase common stock outstanding, and 588,059 and 588,059 Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, respectively. The preferred stock is convertible at a rate of nine common shares to one share of Series B Preferred Stock. | ||||||||||||
The Company has determined that the Series B Preferred Stock are participating securities under ASC 260. Under ASC 260, a security is considered a participating security if the security may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock, whether the participation is conditioned upon the occurrence of a specified event or not. In accordance with ASC 260, a company is required to use the two-class method when computing EPS when a company has a security that qualifies as a “participating security.” The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. A participating security is included in the computation of basic EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, basic EPS for the Company’s common stock is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted-average common stock outstanding during the period. Under the certificate of designation for our Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Certificate of Designation"), if at any time the Company declares a dividend in cash which is greater in value than five percent on a cumulative basis over the previous twelve month period of the then current "Common Share Fair Market Value," as that term is defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation, the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a dividend payable in cash equal to the amount in excess of five percent of the then Common Share Fair Market Value per common share they would have received if all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into common shares. There were no earnings allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, or 2011 and there was a net loss from operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011 and earnings for the year ended December 31, 2012 were not in excess of amounts prescribed by the Series B Certificate of Designation for our Series B Preferred Stock. Diluted EPS for the Company’s common stock is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the if-converted method.

Business Segment Information | ||||||||||||
The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments organized based on its products and services—well servicing and fluid logistics. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. | ||||||||||||
Well Servicing | ||||||||||||
At December 31, 2013, our well servicing segment utilized our modern fleet of 167 owned well servicing rigs, which included 157 workover rigs and 10 swabbing rigs, five coiled tubing spreads, nine tubing testing units, and related assets and equipment. These assets are used to provide (i) well maintenance, including remedial repairs and removal and replacement of down-hole production, (ii) well workovers, including significant down-hole repairs, re-completions and re-perforations, (iii)completion and swabbing activities, (iv) plugging and abandonment services, and (v) pressure testing of oil and natural gas production tubing and scanning tubing for pitting and wall thickness using tubing testing units. | ||||||||||||
Fluid Logistics | ||||||||||||
The fluid logistics segment consists of operations in the U.S., which provide, transport, store and dispose of a variety of drilling and produced fluids used in and generated by oil and natural gas production activities. These services are required in most workover and completion projects and are routinely used in daily producing well operations. | ||||||||||||

Common Stock | ||
Holders of common stock have no pre-emptive, redemption, conversion, or sinking fund rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common stock. Unless a different majority is required by law or by the bylaws, resolutions to be approved by holders of common stock require approval by a simple majority of votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in the Company’s assets, if any, remaining after the payment of all of its debts and liabilities, subject to any liquidation preference on any issued and outstanding preferred stock. | ||
Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock | ||
Under our Certificate of Designation, we are authorized to issue 825,000 shares of Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share. On May 28, 2010 the Company completed a private placement of 580,800 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price per share of CAD $26.37 for an aggregate purchase price in the amount of USD $14.5 million based on the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars then in effect of $1.00 to CDN $1.0547. The Company received net proceeds of USD $13.8 million after closing fee paid to investors of $0.3 million and legal fees and other offering costs of $0.4 million. This is presented as temporary equity on the balance sheet. The common stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible has certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. | ||
The Company paid a closing fee to the Investors of $0.3 million which is netted with the proceeds from the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock in temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheet. The value of the Series B Preferred Stock, for accounting purposes, is being accreted up to redemption value from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the instrument using the effective interest rate method. If the Series B Preferred Stock had been redeemed as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the redemption amount would have been approximately $14.6 million and $14.5 million. | ||
The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock is as follows: | ||
Rank - The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior in right of payment to the common stock and any class or series of capital stock that is junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, and pari passu with any series of the Company's preferred stock that is by its terms ranks pari passu in right of payment as to dividends and liquidation with the Series B Preferred Stock. | ||
Conversion - The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company's common stock at an initial rate of nine common shares per share of Series B Preferred Stock (as adjusted for the Share Consolidation) (subject to further adjustment). If all such Series B Preferred Stock is converted, at the initial conversion rate, 5,292,531 shares of common stock will be issued to holders of the Series B Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Certificate of Designation, no holder of the Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to effect a conversion of Series B Preferred Stock if such conversion would result in the holder (and affiliates) beneficially owning 20% or more of the Company's common stock. Redeemable preferred stock (and, if ever any other redeemable financial instrument we may enter into) is initially evaluated for possible classification as a liability or equity pursuant to ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Redeemable preferred stock that does not, in its entirety, require liability classification is evaluated for embedded features that may require bifurcation and separate classification as derivative liabilities. In determining the appropriate accounting for the conversion feature for the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company determined that the conversion feature does not require bifurcation, and as a result is not considered a derivative under the provisions of ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging. | ||
Dividends Rights - The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive preferential dividends equal to five percent (5%) per annum of the original issue price per share, payable quarterly in February, May, August and November of each year. Such dividends may be paid by the Company in cash or in kind (in the form of additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock). In the event that the payment in cash or in kind of any such dividend would cause the Company to violate a covenant under its debt agreements, the obligation to pay, in cash or in kind, will be suspended until the earlier to occur of (i) and only to the extent any restrictions under the debt agreements lapse or are no longer applicable or (ii) February 16, 2015. During any such suspension period, the preferential dividends shall continue to accrue and accumulate. As shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of our common stock, each dividend paid in kind will have a dilutive effect on our shares of common stock. Dividends for all quarterly periods in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 have been paid in cash. The Company intends to pay all future dividends in cash. | ||
Liquidation - Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, no distribution shall be made as follows: | ||
(i) | to the holders of shares ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock unless the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have received an amount equal to the original issue price per share of the Series B Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment) plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon to the date of such payment, and | |
(ii) | to the holders of shares ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, unless simultaneously therewith distributions are made ratably on the Series B Preferred Stock and all other such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled. | |
Voting Rights - The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are not entitled to any voting rights except as provided in the following sentence, in the Company's bylaws or otherwise under the Texas law. If the preferential dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid in full in cash or in kind for eight or more quarterly dividend periods (whether or not consecutive), the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders with the holders of common stock and to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole Common Shares into which the Series B Preferred Stock held by such holders are then convertible. | ||
Redemption - All or any number of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at any time after May 28, 2013 at a redemption price of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends and provided that the current equity value of our common stock exceeds a five day volume weighted average of $3.33 per share. On May 28, 2017, the Company is required to redeem any Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding at a redemption price determined in accordance with the Certificate of Designation plus accrued but unpaid dividends. Such mandatory redemption may, at the Company's election, be paid in cash or in common shares (valued for such purpose at 95% of the then fair market value of the common stock). In the event certain corporate transactions occur (such as a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger) under which the Company's common stock (but not the Series B Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then following such transaction, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the same kind and amount of securities, cash or other property. | ||
Certain of the redemption features are outside of the Company's control, and as a result, the Series B Preferred Stock have been reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as temporary equity. | ||
Dividends | ||
The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive preferential dividends equal to five percent (5.0%) per annum of the original issue price per share, payable quarterly in February, May, August and November of each year. Such dividends may be paid by the Company in cash or in kind (in the form of additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock). In the event that the payment in cash or in kind of any such dividend would cause the Company to violate a covenant under its debt agreements, the obligation to pay, in cash or in kind, will be suspended until the earlier to occur of (i) and only to the extent any restrictions under the debt agreements lapse or are no longer applicable or (ii) February 16, 2015. During any such suspension period, the preferential dividends shall continue to accrue and accumulate. As shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of our common stock, each dividend paid in kind will have a dilutive effect on our shares of common stock. Through the dividend quarterly period ended May 28, 2011 the Company had also accrued, but not paid dividends for the dividend period ended November 28, 2010, February 28, 2011, and May 28, 2011 due to the Toronto Stock Exchange requiring shareholder approval to issue shares to pay dividends in kind. The Company received shareholder approval to issue shares to pay dividends in kind. The Company received shareholder approval at its annual meeting on June 27, 2011 for a pool of Series B Preferred Stock to be issued as in-kind dividends for this particular quarterly period and for future quarterly periods. Further, after the extinguishment of the Second Priority Notes and the First Priority Notes, the Company was no longer restricted from paying cash dividends as the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes specifically allowed cash dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock up to specific levels. On July 29, 2011, the Company paid in cash all previously accrued but unpaid dividends. The Company had previously accrued for these dividends based on the estimated fair market value of the share expected to be issued in-kind. When determined that the dividends were to be paid in cash, cumulative preferred share dividends were remeasured using the 5% contractual rate and released from temporary equity to liabilities. | ||
Preferred stock dividends are recorded at their fair value. If paid in cash, the amount paid represents fair value. If paid in kind, the fair value of the preferred stock dividends is determined using valuation techniques that include a component representing the intrinsic value of the dividends (which represents the fair value of the common stock into which the preferred stock could be converted) and an option component (which is determined using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model). Dividends and accretion for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $0.8 million and $0.8 million. The Company has paid the quarterly dividends through February 28, 2014. |

Prior to January 12, 2012, when the Company completed the disposition of its business and substantially all of its assets in Mexico, the Company had certain foreign subsidiaries that did not guarantee the 9% Senior Notes discussed in Note 8 and, accordingly, is required to present the following condensed consolidating financial information pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. These schedules are presented using the equity method of accounting for all periods presented. Under this method, investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share in the subsidiaries’ cumulative results of operations, capital contributions and distributions and other changes in equity. Elimination entries relate primarily to the elimination of investments in subsidiaries and associated intercompany balances and transactions. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the subsidiaries that are guarantors are 100% owned directly or indirectly by FES Ltd, the guarantees are full and unconditional, joint and several, subject to customary release provisions. | ||||||||||||||||||||
There are no significant restrictions on FES Ltd.'s ability or the ability of any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by such means as a dividend or loan. | ||||||||||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the parent/issuer had no independent assets and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 the parent/issuer had no independent operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' |
Principles of Consolidation | ' |
Principles of Consolidation | |
The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for each of the three years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 include the accounts of FES Ltd and all of its wholly owned, direct and indirect subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“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 consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management believes that these estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. | |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue Recognition | |
Well Servicing –Well servicing consists primarily of maintenance services, workover services, completion services, plugging and abandonment services, and tubing testing. The Forbes Group prices well servicing by the hour of service performed, or on occasion, bid/turnkey pricing. | |
Fluid Logistics – Fluid logistics consists primarily of the sale, transportation, storage, and disposal of fluids used in drilling, production, and maintenance of oil and natural gas wells. The Company prices fluid logistics services by the job, by the hour, or by the quantities sold, disposed, or hauled. | |
The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the price is fixed or determinable. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-45 “Principal Agent Considerations” (“ASC 605-45”) revenues are presented net of any sales taxes collected by the Forbes Group from its customers that are remitted to governmental authorities. | |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes | |
The Company recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities 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 statutory 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 rate is recognized in the period that includes the statutory enactment date. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recognized when it is more likely than not that the benefit of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Additionally, the Company records uncertain tax positions at their net recognizable amount, based on the amount that management deems is more likely than not to be sustained upon ultimate settlement with tax authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. | |
Restricted Cash | ' |
Restricted Cash | |
Restricted cash is serving as collateral for certain outstanding letters of credit. Restricted cash of $1.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, is classified as a long-term asset as it collateralizes certain long-term insurance notes. | |
Foreign Currency Translation | ' |
Foreign Currency Translation | |
The functional currency of our Mexican subsidiaries was the Mexican peso. Accordingly, all balance sheet accounts of this operation were translated into United States dollars using the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The expenses of our Mexican subsidiaries were translated using the average exchange rates in effect during the period, and the gains and losses from foreign currency translation were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). | |
Earnings per Share | ' |
Earnings per Share | |
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share “EPS” data for its common stock. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares comprised of options granted, restricted stock, and restricted stock units. Preferred stock is a participating security under ASC 260 which means the security may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock. In accordance with ASC 260, securities are deemed to not be participating in losses if there is no obligation to fund such losses. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock would be entitled to share in dividends, on an as-converted basis, if the holders of common stock were to receive dividends in excess of 5% of the then current common stock market price on a cumulative basis over the past twelve months, provided that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock would only share in that portion of the dividend that exceeds 5%. | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |
The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. | |
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable-trade, accounts receivable-related | |
parties, accounts receivable – other, other current assets, accounts payable – trade, prepaid expenses, accounts payable-related parties, insurance notes, deposits on assets held for sale, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of third party notes and equipment notes are level two inputs in the fair value hierarchy, and approximate their carrying values, based on current market rates at which the company could borrow funds with similar maturities. | |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | ' |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | |
Accounts receivable are based on earned revenues. The Forbes Group provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded when it becomes evident that the customer will not be likely to make the required payments at either contractual due dates or in the future. The accounts are written off against the provision when it becomes evident that the account is not collectable. | |
Property and Equipment | ' |
Property and Equipment | |
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Improvements or betterments that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. The costs of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the period of disposal. Gains or losses resulting from property disposals are credited or charged to operations currently. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for book purposes. Depreciation expense from continuing operations was $52.0 million, $48.1 million, and $39.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. For tax purposes, property and equipment are depreciated under appropriate methods prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. | |
Other Intangibles | ' |
Other Intangibles | |
Other intangible assets are assets (not including financial assets) that lack physical substance. We account for other intangible assets under the provisions of ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). Other finite-lived intangible assets are subject to amortization for the period of time which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows as described in ASC 350. | |
Impairments | ' |
Impairments | |
In accordance with ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), long-lived assets, such as property, and equipment, and finite-lived intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of such assets to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Expected future cash flows and carrying values are aggregated at their lowest identifiable level. If the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. | |
Environmental | ' |
Environmental | |
The Company is subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Forbes Group to remove or mitigate the adverse environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. | |
Deferred Financing Costs | ' |
Deferred Financing Costs | |
The Company amortizes the deferred financing costs for the costs incurred with our 9% Senior Notes and for the loan agreement governing our revolving credit facility. These costs are amortized over the period of the agreements governing the 9% Senior Notes and the revolving credit facility on an effective interest basis, as a component of interest expense. | |
Share-Based Compensation | ' |
Share-Based Compensation | |
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, (“ASC 718”). Upon adoption of ASC 718, the Company selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate model for determining the estimated fair value for stock options. The Company measures share-based compensation cost as of the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award less an estimated rate for pre-vesting forfeitures, and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation expense is recognized with an off-setting credit to additional paid-in capital. When the award is distributed or the option is exercised, an entry is made to additional paid-in capital with the off-set to common stock equal to the par value times the number of shares. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is also credited to additional paid-in capital. | |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy | ' |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exist” (“ASU2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 reduces diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and is intended to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. ASU 2013-11 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 and the Company does not believe it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |
