Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
1. Business and Organization
D & I Silica, LLC (the “Company”) provides sand and related delivery services to oil and gas companies at delivery points in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York. Most of the products and services are used for hydraulic fracturing Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale gas wells in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York. As the Company earns all of its revenues through the sale of frac sand and related services, we have concluded that we have one operating segment for reporting purposes.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates relate to our estimates and assumptions for the estimated lives of long-lived assets, assessing potential impairment of long-lived assets, estimating the fair value of equity based compensation and estimating potential loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Frac sand revenues are recognized when legal title passes to the customer, which may occur at the rail origin, during transit or at the destination terminal, at which point delivery has occurred, evidence of a contractual arrangement exists and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts received from customers in advance of sand deliveries are recorded as deferred revenue.
Transportation services revenues are recognized as the services have been completed, meaning the associated delivery has occurred or the related services have been rendered. At that point, delivery of the service has occurred, evidence of a contractual arrangement exists and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts received from customers in advance of transportation services are recorded as deferred revenue.
Silo storage lease income attributable to silo storage leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
The Company must pledge cash escrow accounts for the benefit of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Bureau of Rail Freight, Ports and Waterways (“Bureau”) to guarantee performance on rail improvement projects partially funded by the Bureau. The funds are released when the project is completed.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Management analyzes the collectability of outstanding balances and records an allowance for any balances deemed uncollectible. The Company incurred $10 of bad debt expense during the year ended December 31, 2011. No bad debt expense was incurred during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2010.
Inventories
Inventory consists of purchased frac sand in-transit, stored in rail cars, or held in silos. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”). Costs applied to the inventory include the cost of purchased sand and associated freight costs. Silo tonnages are calculated by measuring the number of tons and applying the associated FIFO cost associated with the most recent shipments trans loaded into the silos. Reviews are performed related to the net realizable value of the inventory, giving consideration to quality, excessive levels, obsolescence and other factors.
Shipping and handling costs are charged to cost of goods sold when incurred.

(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Additions and improvements occurring through the normal course of business are capitalized at cost. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and the accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the income statement. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Construction-in-progress is primarily comprised of facilities, machinery and equipment which has not been placed in service.
Capitalized costs incurred during the year for major improvement and capital projects that are not placed in service are recorded as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress is not depreciated until the related assets or improvements are ready to be placed in service.
Fixed assets are carried at historical cost and are depreciated using the straight-line or double declining method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
| | | | |
Asset Classification | | Depreciable Life | | Depreciation Method |
Buildings | | 39 years | | Straight line method |
Rail sidings and site improvements | | 15 years | | 150% declining balance |
Software | | 3 years | | Straight line method |
Equipment | | 3-5 years | | 200% declining balance |
Material handling | | 3-5 years | | 200% declining balance |
Vehicles and railcars | | 3-5 years | | 200% declining balance |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Recoverability of investments in property, plant and equipment is periodically evaluated. Estimated future undiscounted net cash flows are calculated using estimated future sales prices (considering historical and current prices, price trends and related factors) and operating costs and anticipated capital expenditures. Reductions in the carrying value of our investment are only recorded if the undiscounted cash flows are less than our book basis in the applicable assets.
Impairment losses are recognized based on the extent that the remaining investment exceeds the fair value, which is determined based upon the estimated future discounted net cash flows to be generated by the property, plant and equipment.
Management’s estimates of prices and operating and capital costs are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may affect the recoverability of our investments in property, plant and equipment. Although management has made its best estimate of these factors based on current conditions, it is reasonably possible that changes could occur in the near term, which could adversely affect management’s estimate of the net cash flows expected to be generated from its operating property. No impairment charges were recorded during 2012, 2011 or 2010.
Advance to Supplier
During 2012 and 2011, the Company made advance prepayments totaling $4,472 to a supplier in exchange for exclusive rights to purchase sand from the supplier’s facility for 20 years and a discounted rate per purchased ton. Discounts received under this advance are offset against the asset balance over the term of the agreement. As of December 31, 2012, the current and long-term balance outstanding under this advance was $425 and $3,868, respectively.

Deferred Charges
Certain direct costs incurred in connection with debt financing have been capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the life of the debt. Amortization expense is included in interest expense and was $6 and $10 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There was no amortization expense incurred during the year ended December 31, 2010.
The following is a summary of future amortization expense associated with deferred charges:
| | | | |
For the years ending December 31, | | | | |
2013 | | $ | 6 | |
2014 | | | 5 | |
2015 | | | 2 | |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | 13 | |
| | | | |
Non-Cash Compensation
Equity-based compensation awards to members are recognized in the period earned based on the estimated fair value as of the grant date. The Company incurred $741 of compensation expense during 2011.
Government Grants
Government grants received for the development of rail facilities are capitalized as a component of property, plant and equipment and recognized as other income during the period earned. The Company recognized grant income of $538, $718 and $644 during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as reflected in other income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The amounts reported in the balance sheet as current assets or liabilities, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. In addition, the amount recorded on the balance sheet pertaining to the long-term debt outstanding under the Company’s credit facilities approximated their fair value due to its floating interest rate. The fair value of these debts are categorized as a Level 2 measurement per the hierarchy within ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements, as it was based on observable inputs including credit ratings on debt issuances with similar credit risk profiles as the Company.See Note 6—Debt for information regarding borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities.
Income Taxes
The Company is a pass-through entity and is not considered a taxing entity for federal tax purposes. Therefore, there is not a provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s net income or loss is allocated to its members in accordance with the Company’s operating agreement. The members are taxed individually on their share of the Company’s earnings. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or gross unrecognized tax benefit. Tax years ended after 2009 remain subject to audit by taxing authorities.
The Company is considered a taxing entity for certain state taxes, capital stock taxes and other fees. The Company incurred $156, $74 and $25 of such taxes and fees, as reflected in general and administrative expense, during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRS, which clarifies Topic 820 and provides guidance on changes to certain principles or requirements for measuring fair value. The amendment is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company maintained commitments for facility construction projects as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Construction Cost to Date | | | Estimated Cost to Complete | | | Estimated Total Cost | |
Facility construction projects | | $ | 11,633 | | | $ | 6,421 | | | $ | 18,054 | |
The commitment for construction of certain storage tracks is net of a grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the amount of $1,600, which will be received to offset the cost when completed.
The Company has commitments from two current silo lease customers for the lease of additional silo capacity once the construction on these new silos is complete. The leases are non-cancellable and are for terms of 3 to 5 years. These leases cover silos with a total capacity of 18,000 tons. Additional silo rent of $189 per month will be billable once these silos are complete. The total rent that will be due under these agreements is $9,790.
The Company has made a commitment to purchase sand from four suppliers under take-or-pay arrangements. The quantities are not in excess of current requirements. One supplier has asserted that the Company did not purchase the required product minimum during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company believes that there is no obligation for payments made under the agreement.
The Company has issued a product warranty for the quality of sand it sells to customers. The Company has warranted that sand sold conforms to the specifications identified in the invoice. Limited warranty exists regarding the condition of the products at the time of delivery. There has been no significant prior claim history, and there is no liability accrued for future warranty claims, as none are expected.
The Company has agreed to maintain two county roads in Wisconsin which are used for transportation of sand from supplier to transload location. The costs to maintain these roads are expensed over the useful life of the road improvement. Any future obligation cannot be determined.
The Company maintains several letters of credit with financial institutions, primarily to bond local roads in Pennsylvania. As of December 31, 2012, these potential obligations are immaterial to the Company’s financial position.
The Company has an obligation to pay a guaranteed payment to a member equal to $1.00 for each ton of sand shipped from the A.F. Gelhar mine in Markesan, Wisconsin.

11. Concentration and Credit Risk
The Company provides sand and related delivery services to oil and gas companies which are primarily used for hydraulic fracturing Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale gas wells in Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio. The Company’s business is, therefore, dependent upon economic activity within this market. Sales to five customers accounted for 82%, 78% and 85% of the Company’s sales during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
A concentration exists in the supply of sand purchased by the Company as there are a limited number of mines that specialize in sand used for hydraulic fracturing. The loss of one or more of these suppliers could cause a significant near-term impact to the Company’s supply chain.
Throughout 2012 and 2011, the Company has maintained cash balances in excess of federally insured amounts on deposit with financial institutions.
12. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events through August 12, 2013, the date that the financial statements were available for issuance.
On May 13, 2013, the members of the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell their membership interests to Hi-Crush Partners LP. Under the terms of the agreement, Hi-Crush Partners LP acquired the Company’s membership interests for $95,000 in cash and 1,578,947 common units representing limited partner interests in Hi-Crush Partners LP. The closing of the transaction took place on June 10, 2013, at which point all long-term debts of the Company were repaid with the proceeds from the transaction.
