GREENHUNTER RESOURCES, INC.

AS OF AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the words “GreenHunter Resources”, “company”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to GreenHunter Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of GreenHunter Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, are unaudited. The December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet information is derived from audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01 have been made to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 2014, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Non-recurring adjustments based on generally accepted accounting principles for discontinued operations, assets held for sale, and liabilities associated with assets held for sale have also been made.

 

The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our December 31, 2013 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that will occur for the full year.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain items have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Based on borrowing rates which management believes would currently be available to the Company for similar issues of debt, taking into account the current credit risk of the Company and other market factors, the carrying value of the Company’s debt obligations approximate their fair value.

 

Income or Loss per Common Share

 

Basic income or loss per common share is net income or loss applicable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per common share is calculated in the same manner, but also considers the impact to net income or loss and common shares outstanding for the potential dilution from stock options, warrants, convertible debentures, preferred stock, and convertible promissory notes.

 

 
-5-

 

 

 

Shares of our common stock underlying the following securities were not included in dilutive weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, as their effects would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock options

    12,182,855       11,798,198  

Warrants

    625,010       3,007,500  

Convertible debentures

    90,882       62,214  

Convertible promissory notes

    660,000       880,000  

Total

    13,558,747       15,747,912  

 

Our Series C Preferred Stock is only convertible to common stock at the shareholders election upon a change in control of the Company. The potential dilutive effect of Series C Preferred Stock based on the closing price as of March 31, 2014 would be 51,546,392 common shares.

 

Management Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. These estimates are based on information available at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the following:

 

 

the allocation of purchase price to assets and liabilities acquired,

     

 

allowance for doubtful accounts receivable,

     

 

asset retirement obligations,

     

 

fair value of stock-based compensation,

     

 

contingent liabilities, and

     

 

the assessment of assets for impairment.

 

 

NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY

 

Current Plan of Operations and Ability to Operate as a Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $7.7 million of which $1.2 million is non-recourse to the parent company, GreenHunter Resources, Inc. While we are generating increasingly significant revenues from our water management activities, we have continued to experience losses from our ongoing operations (but at a significantly reduced level), which raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, we were not in compliance with certain existing debt covenants contained in our secured debt agreements as of December 31, 2013. We obtained waivers from two of our lenders for the non-compliance in our debt covenants for the year ending December 31, 2013, and for an additional grace period for the year ending December 31, 2014 from one of the lenders. The covenant’s terms as defined by the other lender are less restrictive, and we believe we will be in compliance at the covenant’s next measurement date at December 31, 2014.

 

In late 2013, Management decided to focus on expanding our future operations only in the Appalachian Region. As part of this strategy, we committed to a plan to sell our fixed assets in South Texas and Oklahoma. These assets were classified as held for sale as of December31, 2013, and the remaining unsold assets continue to be held for sale at March 31, 2014. We are generating significant cash from these non-core asset sales. We intend to use this additional capital to assist in significantly reducing our working capital deficit and to provide the growth capital needed to fund additional new projects that are a part of our overall business plan to grow our business in Appalachia.

 

On January 28, 2014, GreenHunter Water sold a saltwater disposal well and associated equipment and certain real property located in Karnes County, Texas for aggregate consideration of approximately $3.9 million pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with Sable Environmental SWD 5, LLC. GreenHunter Water received $1.0 million in cash at closing and a promissory note for approximately $2.9 million with an interest rate of 10% per annum and maturity date of January 31, 2016.

On March 11, 2014, GreenHunter Water entered into an agreement to sell a saltwater disposal well and associated equipment located in Frio County, Texas to Sable Environmental SWD 7, LLC pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement for a purchase price of $4.6 million that included a $500 thousand non-refundable deposit that was accrued in accounts payable as of March 31, 2014. As a part of this Agreement, the purchaser has agreed to pay off the $2.9 million promissory note, in full, that was issued on January 28, 2014, when the first well in Karnes County, Texas was sold to the same purchaser. We closed on the sale of this well and received payment for the purchase price of the well and the payoff of the note on May 1, 2014. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events for further information.

 

On March 26, 2014, GreenHunter Water sold a saltwater disposal well and associated equipment and certain real property located in DeWitt County, Texas for aggregate consideration of approximately $3.4 million pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with Clear Water Resources Partners, LLC. GreenHunter Water received $1.0 million in cash at closing and a promissory note for approximately $2.4 million with an interest rate of 10% per annum and maturity date of May 1, 2016.

 

We have additional assets in South Texas and Oklahoma that were held for sale at December 31, 2013. We anticipate we will close on the sale of these assets sometime in the second quarter of 2014. These assets are being marketed at amounts equal to or in excess of our net book value at March 31, 2014.

 

In December 2013, the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell our remaining renewable asset, a biomass plant, which included a non-refundable fee of $25 thousand that granted the buyer an exclusive right to purchase the property through February 15, 2014. On February 19, 2014, GreenHunter Mesquite Lake entered an agreement to sell the biomass project to ML Energy Park, LLC for $2.0 million. The closing is scheduled for March 15, 2015. The prospective buyer made an initial payment of $50 thousand as earnest money deposit and has continued to pay $50 thousand per month to date and is required to continue the monthly payments for a year or until deciding to ultimately purchase the property. The monthly payments, as well as the initial $25 thousand fee, are non-refundable and can be used at our discretion, but will be applied to the purchase price if it is ultimately consummated. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has received $125 thousand toward the purchase price of this property.

 

In late 2013 and early 2014, the Company closed on several private placements of unsecured debt totaling $1.5 million in 2013 and an additional $1.1 million in 2014 for the purpose of building MAG Tanks™. The Company had contracted with two manufacturing facilities to build MAG Panel™ inventory at March 31, 2014. We expect sales and rentals of MAG Tanks™ to increase our operating cash flows in 2014.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company borrowed $1.5 million under a promissory note due to the Company’s Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer. As of March 31, 2014, there is $500 thousand available under this facility. The letter of guarantee associated with this note has been extended through December 31, 2014.

 

 

We anticipate having sufficient cash reserves to meet all of our anticipated operating obligations for the next twelve months and having available funds necessary for some of our growth projects in Appalachia from the following sources:

 

 

Increased revenue generated from our water management activities

     

 

The sale of certain assets classified as held for sale during the first quarter of 2014 and the expected sale of our remaining assets held for sale at March 31, 2014

     

 

The sale of our Mesquite Lake property

     

 

The proceeds from unsecured credit facilities (such as those related to our MAG Panel™ production)

     

 

Letter of credit guarantee from our Chairman

 

Our ability to fund all of our planned capital expenditures is largely dependent on the Company’s ability to secure additional capital. Management believes that the steps we have taken to significantly improve our working capital position will enhance the prospect of seeking additional capital through a number of different sources. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising sufficient capital to fund the development of our water management business or that we will generate sufficient cash flow to fund our ongoing operating cash flow needs, in which case, we will be required to seek alternative financing, sell our assets, or any combination thereof. Further, considering our financial condition, we may be forced to accept financing or sell assets at terms less favorable than would otherwise be available.

NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

 

In late 2013, we adopted a plan to sell all of our assets in South Texas and Oklahoma and discontinue our operations in these two geographical areas in order to concentrate our efforts in Appalachia. Based on this decision, the Company is negotiating with buyers for its three disposal wells in Oklahoma, has sold or has continued to sell its disposal wells in South Texas which include three operating wells and a lease to develop a fourth disposal well, and has sold or is negotiating the sale of the assets of White Top and Blackwater, which were used in our South Texas operations.

 

We ceased depreciation of fixed assets held for sale as of December 2013.

 

On May 14, 2007, we acquired an inactive 18.5 megawatt (“MW”) (nameplate capacity) biomass plant located in Southern California. The plant is owned by our wholly-owned subsidiary, GreenHunter Mesquite Lake, Inc. (“Mesquite Lake”), which was formed for the purpose of operating and owning assets which convert waste material to electricity. For multiple reasons, Management subsequently determined that development of this project was not practicable. We obtained an independent evaluation of the asset’s salvage value as of December 31, 2012, which was $2.0 million. The total carrying value of the project net assets prior to recording an impairment to its value was $17.9 million. The Company recorded an impairment of asset value of $12.9 million at September 30, 2012 and a further impairment of $3.0 million to reflect its salvage value at December 31, 2012. We recorded no impairments during 2013. On December 23, 2013, the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell the biomass plant, which included a non-refundable fee of $25 thousand that granted the buyer an exclusive right to purchase the property through February 15, 2014. On February 19, 2014, GreenHunter Mesquite Lake entered an agreement to sell the Mesquite Lake Biomass Project to ML Energy Park, LLC for $2.0 million. The closing is scheduled for March 15, 2015. The prospective buyer made an initial payment of $50 thousand as earnest money deposit and has continued to pay $50 thousand per month to date and is required to continue monthly payments for a year or until deciding to ultimately purchase the property. The monthly payments and the initial $25 thousand fee are non-refundable, but will be applied to the purchase if it is ultimately consummated. As of March 31, 2014, we have received $125 thousand of non-refundable earnest money deposits. The biomass assets were classified as held for sale at March 31, 2014. The previously reportable Biomass segment is being reported as part of discontinued operations.

NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

 

White Top and Blackwater

 

We sold some of the equipment of White Top and Blackwater , which consisted mainly of fluid hauling trucks and trailers and heavy construction equipment, during the first quarter of 2014. The sales resulted in a gain of approximately $23 thousand. We anticipate moving certain of the remaining assets to our operations in the Appalachian Region and selling the remaining assets belonging to these companies in the second and third quarters of 2014. The remaining equipment is being marketed at amounts equal to or in excess of our net book value at March 31, 2014.

Debt Covenants

 

The terms of the Company’s obligations with two financial institutions collateralized by equipment and real estate require the Company to comply, on an annual basis, with specific financial covenants including a debt service coverage ratio. The Company is required by the two financial institutions to maintain a ratio of debt service coverage equal to or in excess of 1.3 to 1.0 and 1.0 to 1.0, respectively. The respective ratios are calculated as the ratio of adjusted net income as defined by the specific covenants to required principal and interest payments on indebtedness. The Company was not in compliance with certain existing debt covenants contained in our secured debt agreements as of December 31, 2013. We obtained waivers from two of our lenders for the non-compliance in our debt covenants for the year ending December 31, 2013, and for an additional grace period for the year ending December 31, 2014 from one of the lenders. The covenant’s terms as defined by the other lender are less restrictive, and we believe we will be in compliance at the covenant’s next measurement date at December 31, 2014.

 

Notes Payable

 

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company closed on the private placement of approximately $1.1 million of the Company’s Unsecured Term Notes due one year from the date of issuance together with 100,879 common stock purchase warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company for $2.25 per share and has an expiration date of five years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants of approximately $42 thousand was recorded as a discount to the notes. The interest rate for the notes is 15%. The net proceeds of the placement are intended to fund additional MAG Panel™ inventory.

Leases

 

The Company rents property, equipment and certain office equipment under operating leases. Lease expense under operating leases and rental contracts amounted to $382 thousand and $581 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Lawsuits

 

We operate in a highly regulated industry. We are subject to the regulatory authority of the SEC, the EPA and numerous other federal and state governmental agencies. From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from our ordinary course of business. While we cannot predict the outcome of any proceedings with certainty, we do not believe that there are any claims or actions pending or threatened against us, the ultimate disposition of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on us or on our operations.

 

 

ABB, Inc., Plaintiff v. GreenHunter Energy, Inc., Defendant, In the Superior Court of California, County of Imperial, Case No. ECU07002 . ABB, Inc. was a subcontractor to Crown Engineering for the work done at our Mesquite Lake plant in Imperial County, California. GreenHunter Energy, Inc. had a construction contract directly with Crown Engineering only. On or about January 18, 2010, GreenHunter entered into a settlement agreement with Crown Engineering settling any disputes between the parties regarding the work done at our Mesquite Lake plant. Green Hunter performed all of its obligations under the settlement agreement. ABB is attempting to enforce payment of its claim, approximately $328 thousand by asserting it is a third party beneficiary under our settlement agreement with Crown Engineering.

 

A hearing was held in September 2013 solely on the issue of whether ABB was a third party beneficiary to the settlement agreement with Crown. The court ruled in favor of GreenHunter Energy, Inc. and decided that ABB was not a third party beneficiary. GreenHunter is preparing a motion for an award of attorneys’ fees for the underlying action.

Glen Pasak, Clint Howard and Manuel Rodriquez, Plaintiffs v. GreenHunter Water, LLC and GreenHunter Energy, Inc., Defendants, in the 23rd District Court of Wharton County, Texas, Case No.: 46,749 filed May 16, 2013. This lawsuit has not yet been served on Defendants. Upon information and belief, we believe the lawsuit alleges as follows: On December 31, 2012, Plaintiffs sold their interest in Blackwater and White Top to Defendants. As part of the transaction, Defendants agreed to be responsible for all debts and liabilities of Blackwater and White Top. Plaintiffs agreed to allow Defendants to collect all accounts receivable to Blackwater and White Top as part of the transaction in an amount totaling $2.5 million, having relied on representations made by Defendants. Among the debts and liabilities assumed by Defendants was a $1.0 million line of credit to First National Bank of Eagle Lake, which debt was personally guaranteed by Plaintiffs. The assumption of this liability was material to the sales transaction and Plaintiffs relied on multiple representations by Defendants that the debt would be assumed completely by Defendants. However, despite these assurances, Defendants have failed to pay or re-finance the debt to First National Bank of Eagle Lake. Further, Defendants have failed to use any of the accounts receivable collected from Blackwater and White Top to retire this debt. The Defendants were served on October 9th, and the Defendants have answered. The defendants have filed a motion to transfer venue to Dallas County, Texas. The case has been ordered to mediation. A mediation date of Wednesday, May 28, 2014 has been set. GreenHunter Resources and GreenHunter Water believe this case has no merit and the Defendants will ultimately prevail on all matters arising under this lawsuit.

 

GreenHunter Energy, Inc., White Top and Blackwater, Plaintiffs v. Glen T. Pasak and Clint C. Howard, Defendants, in the 101st District Court of Dallas County, Texas, Case No.: DC-13-06478 filed June 12, 2013. Plaintiffs seek injunctive relief against the Defendants to force Defendants to turn over certain assets in Defendant’s possession to Plaintiff. Defendants have delivered the property requested to Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs have amended their petition to include causes of action against the Defendants for breach of the equity purchase agreements and fraud. Plaintiff has amended its petition to include injunctive relief for additional property that the Defendants have in their possession. The parties have entered into an agreed upon temporary injunction regarding the property in question. The case has been ordered to mediation. A mediation date of Wednesday, May 28, 2014 has been set.

 

First National Bank of Eagle Lake, Plaintiff v. White Top Oilfield Construction, LLC, Blackwater Services, LLC and GreenHunter Resources, Inc., Defendants, et al., in the 329th District Court of Wharton County, Texas, Case No.: 46,894 filed July 24, 2013. Plaintiff is demanding payment for two promissory notes in favor of the bank by White Top and two promissory notes in favor of the bank by Blackwater aggregating in the amount of $1.0 million. The Defendants have answered this lawsuit. Defendants have filed a plea in abatement to have the case moved to Dallas County, Texas. Settlement negotiations are ongoing. Plaintiff’s claim has been reduced to approximately $250 thousand based on sales of foreclosed assets from the Company and other defendants. The case has been ordered to mediation. A mediation date of Wednesday, May 28, 2014 has been set.

 

PetroChem, Inc. v. GreenHunter Energy, Inc., et al. in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Imperial, Case No. ECU-05216. PetroChem, Inc. was a subcontractor to Crown Engineering for the work done at our Mesquite Lake plant in Imperial County, California. GreenHunter Energy, Inc. had a construction contract directly with Crown Engineering only. On or about January 18, 2010, GreenHunter entered into a settlement agreement with Crown Engineering settling any disputes between the parties regarding the work done at our Mesquite Lake plant. Green Hunter performed all of its obligations under the settlement agreement. PetroChem is attempting to enforce payment of its claim, approximately $207 thousand by asserting it is a third party beneficiary under our settlement agreement with Crown Engineering.

 

The PetroChem claim was stayed by the bankruptcy court but PetroChem is attempting to move forward with their claim now by asserting they are third party beneficiary to our Crown settlement agreement. As this claim is similar to the ABB claim above, management believes this case has little or no merit and the Company will ultimately prevail.

 

Elisema R. Jones and Gregory Joseph Jones v. Blackwater Services and Damien Pacheco. 365th District Court of Dimmitt County, Texas, Cause No. 11-12-11539-DCVAJA.

The claim is being handled by the insurance carrier and the Company estimates any damages will be covered by insurance.

 

SPX v. GreenHunter Energy, Inc., et al. in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Imperial, Case No. ECU-5082. SPX was a subcontractor to Crown Engineering for the work done at our Mesquite Lake plant in Imperial County, California. GreenHunter Energy, Inc. had a construction contract directly with Crown Engineering only. On or about January 18, 2010, GreenHunter entered into a settlement agreement with Crown Engineering settling any disputes between the parties regarding the work done at our Mesquite Lake plant.

The SPX claim was stayed by the bankruptcy court but SPX is attempting to move forward with their claim now as the stay has been lifted. Management believes this case has little or no merit and the Company will ultimately prevail.

 

Jose Torres, et al. v. GreenHunter Resources, Inc. and GreenHunter Water, LLC, in the 25th District Court, Lavaca County, Texas, Cause No. 14-04-22652 CV.

Plaintiff claims injuries and damages were caused by the negligence and gross negligence of the named defendants. Defendants have tendered the case to the insurance companies for coverage. The Company has not yet answered the lawsuit and is currently conducting an investigation into this matter.

 

Jonathan D. Hoopes v. GreenHunter Resources, Inc., in the 162nd District Court of Dallas, County, Texas, Cause No. DC-14-03179.

Plaintiff is alleging he is owed one years’ salary upon termination and wants to continue to vest in certain stock options after his termination. Defendant’s answer is due on May 12, 2014 and the Company denies the allegations in the complaint as the Company had either reached an agreement with the plaintiff for his severance payment or had good cause to terminate the plaintiff.

On April 25, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a common stock grant of 1,250,000 shares for Mr. Gary C. Evans, our Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer as consideration for his past credit support to the Company. The Board also approved stock-based bonuses of 445,000 shares to certain members of management.

 

On April 25, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a total grant of 2,600,000 stock options with an exercise price of $0.98 per share to certain members of management.

 

On April 25, 2014, our Board of Directors approved certain officers of the Company to receive benefits pursuant to a change in control in accordance with their job descriptions and responsibilities to the Company, ranging from one year annual salary payment to three years annual salary payment.

 

On May 1, 2014, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, GreenHunter Water, LLC, completed the sale of a saltwater disposal well and associated equipment located in Frio County, Texas pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with Sable Environmental SWD 7, LLC. The Dilley Hunter SWD well was sold for total consideration of $4.7 million which was received at closing. The Company also received at closing the final payment for that certain promissory note dated January 29, 2014, in the principal amount of approximately $2.9 million between GreenHunter Water, LLC and Sable Environmental SWD 5, LLC. Therefore, the amount of cash consideration for these transactions totaled approximately $7.6 million.

 

On May 6, 2014, Mr. Gary C. Evans, our Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer, extended the maturity date associated with his $1.5 million promissory note to the Company to July 1, 2014.

 

On June 10, 2014, our Board of Directors approved the granting of 62,500 options of the Company’s common stock to employees under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The options have a ten year life and an exercise price of $1.21 per share and vest in an equal amount over a three year period beginning one year from the date of grant.

 

On June 25, 2014, the Company announced the establishment of a new hydrocarbons division, GreenHunter Hydrocarbons, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GreenHunter Resources, to focus on the transportation, storage, processing, and marketing of hydrocarbons (oil, condensate, and NGLs) in the Appalachian Region. GreenHunter Hydrocarbons also announced the hiring of Mr. Terry Clark as Vice President of GreenHunter Hydrocarbons and manager of this division. Mr. Clark has 17 years of experience managing hydrocarbons in the Appalachian Basin and has established industry-wide relationships with producers and refiners.

 

On June 30, 2014, the Company executed definitive agreements with a third party to construct three independent pipelines in the Appalachian Region that will be funded by the third party. These pipelines are anticipated to be completed by January 1, 2016. The agreements give the Company exclusive use of the three pipelines for a period of ten years with an option to renew the agreements for another ten years. The pipelines will be used to transport oilfield waste water (brine), fresh water, and hydrocarbons (condensate and NGLs), respectively.

 

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company settled multiple lawsuits related to the White Top and Blackwater acquisitions. The Company acquired debt payable to a certain bank as a result of the acquisitions that was guaranteed by White Top and Blackwater. As part of the settlement, this bank agreed to release the Company from all debt and accrued interest owed to the bank for a payment of $50 thousand which was made by the Company. The settlement agreement also required the sellers to return 32,750 Series C Preferrred Stock given to them as part of the original purchase price. Settlement of these lawsuits resulted in a gain of approximately $1.9 million.

 

 On July 22, 2014, the Company announced that it has filed with the Internal Revenue Service a request for a ruling that income derived by a newly formed Limited Partnership (“MLP”) from the handling of fluid, storage, treatment and disposal services, frac tank rental, water monitoring services, and environmental remediation services that constitute a part of the exploration, developmental, mining, processing, refining and transportation of natural resources will in fact constitute “Qualified Income” under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Management and the Board have determined that utilizing an MLP structure will be the most efficient way to fund our future capital needs.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company borrowed $1.5 million under a promissory note due to the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In July of 2014, the Company paid our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer $1.3 million on the loan. The outstanding balance of $200 thousand is anticipated to be paid in October of 2014.
