Deferred Revenue

On February 26, 2009, we received the first purchase order pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Libya Oil Holdings Limited, Tamoil, Libya Africa Investment Portfolio and Vision Oil Services Ltd (“VOS”). Pursuant to the MOU, VOS paid for the purchase of 600 metric tons of DiesoLiFTTM 10 at a price of 6,000 Euros (approximately $7,600) per metric ton from FPS. We received cash proceeds of approximately $3 million from VOS in February 2009. No such revenues had been recorded to date relating to this order because there has been no requested delivery of the product. We have had no communication with VOS in nearly five years and believe they have ceased all activities on behalf of FPS.

 

Based upon a written legal opinion received during the first quarter of 2014, it was determined that effective February 2014, we were no longer obligated to present the nearly $3 million deferred revenue liability on our balance sheet as the statute of limitations period for our performance obligation has passed. In conjunction with this determination, we recorded a gain on deferred revenue liability write-off of approximately $3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
