1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations

 

Superior Drilling Products, Inc. (the “Company”, “SDPI”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is an innovative drilling and completion tool technology company providing cost saving solutions that drive production efficiencies for the oil and natural gas drilling industry. Our drilling solutions include the patented Drill-N-Ream® well bore conditioning tool (“Drill-N-Ream tool”) and the patented Strider™ Drill String Oscillation System technology (“Strider technology” or “Strider”). In addition, the Company is a manufacturer and refurbisher of PDC (polycrystalline diamond compact) drill bits for leading oil field services companies. We operate a state-of-the-art drill tool fabrication facility, in Vernal Utah, where we manufacture solutions for the drilling industry, as well as customers’ custom products. We also operate a repair facility in Dubai. Our headquarters are also located in Vernal, Utah.

 

Our subsidiaries include (a) Superior Drilling Solutions, LLC (previously known as Superior Drilling Products, LLC), a Utah limited liability company (“SDS”), together with its wholly owned subsidiary Superior Design and Fabrication, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“SDF”), (b) Extreme Technologies, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ET”), (c) Meier Properties Series, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“MPS”), (d) Meier Leasing, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ML”), and (e) Hard Rock Solutions, LLC (“HR” or “Hard Rock”).

 

On March 6, 2024 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Drilling Tools International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“DTI”), DTI Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub I”), and DTI Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub II” and together with Merger Sub I, “Merger Subs”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in the Form 8-K, filed on March 7, 2024, have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

The Merger and the Merger Agreement were unanimously adopted by the Company Board based upon the recommendation of the special committee of disinterested directors of the Company Board that was established to evaluate potential strategic transactions, including those contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Company Special Committee”), and the Company Board has recommended that shareholders of the Company vote in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement.

 

In connection with the proposed Merger, DTI prepared and filed with the SEC on May 10, 2024 a registration statement on Form S-4 that included a combined proxy statement/prospectus of the Company and DTI.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Superior Drilling Products Inc. and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not have investments in any unconsolidated subsidiaries.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related footnote disclosures included herein, are unaudited. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of management’s estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year ended December 31, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the notes thereto, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC. There were no significant updates or revisions to our accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024, except as noted below.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows guidance under ASC Topic 740-270 Income Taxes, which requires that an estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to year-to-date ordinary income (loss). At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The tax effect of discrete items is recorded in the quarter in which the discrete events occur.

 

For the three months ended March 31,2024, no reserves for uncertain tax positions have been recorded. The Company will continue to monitor this position each interim period.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company has two significant customers that represented 85% and 87% of its revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These customers had approximately $1,927,000 and $1,880,000 in accounts receivable as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

The Company had two vendors that represented 45% and 13% of its purchases for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These vendors had approximately $104,000 and $136,000 in accounts payable as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The ASU also allows, in addition to the measure that is most consistent with U.S. GAAP, the disclosure of additional measures of segment profit or loss that are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendment also includes other changes to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures, including further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Tronco is an entity owned by Troy and Annette Meier. Effective August 2017, the Company fully reserved the related party note receivable of $6,979,043, which reduced the related party note receivable balance to $0. The Company continues to hold the 8,267,860 shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral. The Company will record a recovery of the loan upon receiving repayment of the note or interest in other income. On March 31, 2024, the Company entered into a fifth amended and restated loan agreement and note with Tronco.

 

Pursuant to the fifth amended and restated loan agreement, Tronco will make payments to the Company of $750,000 annually commencing on September 30, 2024 through March 31, 2033, provided that the final payment shall include all remaining outstanding principal and interest. Notwithstanding this, all principal and interest shall be due and payable by Tronco on the closing date of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 6, 2024 among the Company, Drilling Tools International Corporation (“DTI”). DTI and the Meiers have held discussions regarding the post-closing treatment of the Tronco Note.

Loan Agreement

 

On July 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) among Vast Bank, National Association, as lender (the “Lender”), and various subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors (the “Guarantors”).

 

The Loan Agreement provides for loans through the following facilities (collectively, the “Loans”):

 

  Revolving Line: The lesser of $750,000 or the borrowing base, which is currently 50% of eligible inventory as calculated under the Loan Agreement (“Revolving Line”), which matures on July 28, 2025.
     
  Term Loan: $1,719,200 term loan (the “Term Loan”), which matures on July 28, 2028.

 

The interest rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Line is the greater of (a) Prime plus 1.00% and (b) 7.50%, which was 9.50% at March 31, 2024. The interest rate per annum applicable to the Term Loan is 8.18%. Payments of principal and interest monthly on the Term Loan, and interest only on the Revolving Line, commenced on August 28, 2023. The balance of principal and interest on both Loans will be due upon maturity, if not sooner repaid. The Company may prepay and/or repay the Loans, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions. The balance of the Revolving Line and Term Loan totaled approximately $0 and $1,451,000 as of March 31, 2024, respectively.

 

The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants limiting, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the creation of liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, acquisitions, investments, loans and guarantees, subject, in each case, to customary exceptions, thresholds and baskets. The Loan Agreement also includes certain financial covenants which include a current assets/liabilities ratio, a debt service coverage ratio and a leverage ratio, as defined in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

 

The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors, and the obligations of the Company and any Guarantors are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of the Company and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions as noted in the Loan Agreement.

 

Machinery Loans

 

The Company financed the purchase of machinery and equipment through various loans. The outstanding loans have interest rates ranging from 5.50% to 5.94%, and repayment terms of 48-60 months. The balance of the machinery loans totaled approximately $486,000 and $523,000 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Transportation Loan

 

In January 2024, the Company financed a new vehicle with a new loan agreement. The term of the loan is 72 months and matures in January 2030. The interest rate of the loan is 1.9%. The loan is collateralized by the vehicle.

 

The Company financed the purchase of a vehicle with a loan agreement. The term of the loan is 60 months and matures in June 2024. The interest rate of the loan is 6.99%. The loan is collateralized by the vehicle.

 

Insurance Loan

 

The Company financed insurance premiums with two loan agreements. The first loan matured in March 2024 and the second loan matures in July 2024. The balance of the insurance loans totaled approximately $90,000 and $197,000 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

9. FINANCING OBLIGATION LIABILITY

 

On December 7, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell land and property related to the Company’s headquarters and manufacturing facility in Vernal, Utah (the “Property”) for a purchase price of $4,448,500 (the “Sale Agreement”). Concurrent with the sale of the Property, the Company entered into a fifteen-year lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) to lease back the Property at an annual rate of $311,395 with payments made monthly, subject to annual rent increases of 1.5%. Under the Lease Agreement, the Company has an option to extend the term of the lease and to repurchase the Property. Due to this repurchase option, the Company was unable to account for the transfer as a sale under ASC 842, Leases, and as such, the transaction is a failed sale-leaseback that is accounted for as a financing transaction.

 

The Company received cash of $1,622,106, retired real estate debt of $2,638,773 and recorded a financing obligation liability of $4,260,879 related to the transaction. There was no gain recorded since sale accounting was precluded. The financing obligation has an implied interest rate of 6.0%. At the conclusion of the fifteen-year lease period, the financing obligation residual is estimated to be $2,188,710, which corresponds to the carrying value of the property. The Company paid $20,742 and $ 18,971 of principal during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

The financing obligation liability is summarized below:

 

   March 31,   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
Financing obligation for sale-leaseback transaction  $4,017,280   $4,038,021 
Current principal portion of finance obligation   (86,685)   (83,648)
Non-current portion of financing obligation  $3,930,595   $3,954,373 

 

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

We are subject to litigation that arises from time to time in the ordinary course of our business activities. In February 2019, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit, asserting that Stabil Drill Specialties, LLC’s (“Stabil Drill”) SmoothboreTM Eccentric Reamer infringes several patents of Extreme Technologies, LLC (one of our subsidiaries) on our patented Drill-N-Ream® well bore conditioning tool. This lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. On May 12, 2021, the Court denied Stabil Drill’s motion for summary judgment of non-infringement. On May 23, 2022, the Court issued its Order on Claim Construction of the patents, adopting Extreme Technologies’ proffered interpretation on the disputed claim terms. On October 12, 2022, the Court granted Extreme’s motion for leave to add its exclusive licensee Hard Rock Solutions, LLC, as a necessary party and co-plaintiff. On February 13, 2023, the lawsuit was reassigned to United States District Judge Drew B. Tipton and United States Magistrate Judge Peter Bray. On August 29, 2023, Judge Tipton granted Extreme’s and Hard Rock’s motion for summary judgment striking Stabil Drill’s patent invalidity affirmative defenses. Discovery ended on August 31, 2021, and the parties have fully briefed dispositive and Daubert motions. The parties are preparing this case for trial and expect a jury trial setting in summer of 2024.

 

We are not currently involved in any other litigation which management believes could have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

11. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock have been computed as follows:

 

   2024   2023 
   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2024   2023 
Numerator:          
Net income (loss)  $(1,822,388)  $1,513,219 
Denominator:          
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding - basic   30,391,244    29,245,080 
Effect of dilutive options   -    60,130 
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding - diluted   30,391,244    29,305,216 
           
Earnings (loss) per common share - basic  $(0.06)  $0.05 
Earnings (loss) per common share - diluted  $(0.06)  $0.05 

 

For the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company excluded 507,771 shares for the dilutive effect of options and restricted stock units in calculating diluted earnings per share as the effect was anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred for the period.

 

12. SEGMENT REPORTING

 

We report our segment results based on our geographic areas of operations, North America and International. These segments have similarities from a product perspective, but management believes that due to operational differences, such as sales models and regulatory environments, information about the segment would be useful to readers of the financial statements.

 

  North America includes our PDC drill bit and specialty tool sales and contract services business in the United States, Canada and Mexico, which have been aggregated
     
  International includes our specialty tool rental business in the Middle East

 

Revenues and certain operating expenses are directly attributable to our segments.

 

Unallocated corporate costs primarily include corporate shared costs, such as payroll and compensation, professional fees, and rent, as well as costs associated with certain shared research and development activities.

 

Our operating segments are not evaluated using asset information.

 

The following table summarizes information about our segments:

 

   2024   2023 
   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2024   2023 
Revenues:          
North America  $4,249,150   $5,475,061

Corporate costs, unallocated   (2,123,213)   (2,338,007)
Total operating income  $159,447   $1,377,762 

 

North America revenue includes revenue from operations in Mexico totaling approximately $120,000 and $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The remainder of the North America revenue was derived from operations in the United States of America.

NOTE 13. TRANSFER OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

 

In connection with entering into the Loan Agreement, the Company entered into Business Manager Agreements for the purchase by the Lender of certain domestic and international accounts receivable of the Company. The face amount of the accounts under each agreement that may be purchased cannot exceed $2,500,000 under the domestic agreement and $2,000,000 under the international agreement. The service charge associated with the purchases is 1.25% under the domestic agreement and 2.0% under the international agreement. There are additional charges if accounts are not paid within 45 days. The Business Manager Agreements include recourse arrangements, which require the Company to repurchase transferred accounts receivable that remain unpaid for a specified period of time. The accounts are secured by a security interest in the accounts receivable in all of the Company’s present and after-acquired accounts receivable of the customers as defined in the agreements.

 

Generally, at the transfer date, the Company receives cash equal to 90% of the value of the sold domestic accounts receivable and 60% of the value of the sold international accounts receivable, less the service charge. The remaining balance is held back as a reserve. The reserve balance is carried at fair value, which is remeasured monthly to take into account activity during the period (the Company’s interest in newly-transferred receivables and collections on previously transferred receivables), as well as changes in estimates of future interest rates and anticipated credit losses. Fluctuations in interest rates and revised estimates of credit losses were zero as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The carrying amount of the reserve was $120,060 and $166,139 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is classified within cash and restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company accounts for trade receivable transfers as sales and derecognizes the sold receivables from the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold receivables to the Lender having an aggregate face value of $2,494,950 in exchange for cash proceeds of $2,463,764. Cash received from the selling of receivables are presented as a change in trade receivables within the operating activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. Service fees for the period totaled $31,905, which are initially recorded as prepaids in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized over 45 days. The Company recognized expense of $32,924 related to the service fees for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which is included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The outstanding principal amount of the receivables sold under this facility amounted to $971,852 as of March 31, 2024.

In addition, the Company is a manufacturer of Drill-N-Ream tools and refurbisher of PDC (polycrystalline diamond compact) drill bits for leading oil field services companies. We operate a state-of-the-art drill tool fabrication facility, where we manufacture solutions for the drilling industry, as well as customers’ custom products in both the United States and the Middle East.

 

Our strategy for growth is to leverage our expertise in drill tool technology and precision machining in order to broaden our product offerings and solutions for the oil and gas industry. We believe through our patented technologies, as well as technologies under development, that we can offer the oil and gas industry the solutions it demands to improve drilling efficiencies and reduce production costs.

 

In December 2020, the Company successfully obtained ISO 9000 certification and is now qualified to bid on projects in industries outside oil and gas. We believe that with this certification, and our history of supplying high quality parts to research and development departments operating in the aerospace industry, we can effectively execute our industry diversification strategy.

 

Merger

 

On March 6, 2024, Superior Drilling Products, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company” or “we”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Drilling Tools International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (DTI), DTI Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub I”), and DTI Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub II” and together with Merger Sub I, “Merger Subs”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

The Merger and the Merger Agreement were unanimously adopted by the Company Board based upon the recommendation of the special committee of disinterested directors of the Company Board that was established to evaluate potential strategic transactions, including those contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Company Special Committee”), and the Company Board has recommended that shareholders of the Company vote in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement.

 

In connection with the proposed Merger, DTI prepared and filed with the SEC on May 10, 2024 a registration statement on Form S-4 that included a combined proxy statement/prospectus of the Company and DTI.

 

Industry Trends and Market Factors

 

The Russia – Ukraine conflict is a global concern. The Company does not have any direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine through its operations, employee base, investments or sanctions. The Company does not receive goods or services sourced from those countries, does not anticipate any disruption in its supply chain and has no business relationships, connections to or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. No impairments to assets have been made due to the conflict. The global oil industry has been impacted by this situation, but the Company’s operations and business in the Middle East has not been disrupted to date. The increase in oil producing activities in the United States has benefitted the Company’s operations. We are unable at this time to know the full ramifications of the Russia – Ukraine conflict and its effects on our business.

 

Inflationary and/or recessionary factors relating to the oil and gas industry may directly affect the Company’s operations. The increased demand for oil and gas production has benefited the Company’s operations. The Company is not immune to the effects of inflation on its labor requirements, supply chain and costs of revenues. The Company continues to monitor these economic trends as part of its strategic forward planning.

How We Generate our Revenue

 

We are a drilling and completion tool technology company. We generate revenue from the refurbishment, manufacturing, repair, rental and sale of drill string tools. Our manufactured products are produced in a standard manufacturing operation, even when produced to our customer’s specifications. We also earn royalty fees under certain arrangements for certain tools we sell.

 

Tool sales, rentals and other related revenue

 

Tool and Product Sales: Revenue for tool and product sales is recognized upon shipment of tools or products to the customer. Shipping and handling costs related to tool and product sales are recorded gross as a component of both the sales price and cost of the product sold.

 

Tool Rental: Rental revenue is recognized upon completion of the customer’s job for which the tool was rented. While the duration of the rental will vary by job and number of runs, these rentals are generally less than one month. The rental agreements are typically based on the price per run or footage drilled and do not have any minimum rental payments or term.

 

Other Related Revenue: We receive revenue from the repair of tools upon delivery of the repaired tool to the customer. We earn royalty commission revenue when our customer invoices their customer for the use of our tools.

 

Contract Services

 

Drill Bit Manufacturing and Refurbishment: We recognize revenue for our PDC drill bit services upon transfer of control, which we have determined to be upon shipment of the product. Shipping and handling costs related to refurbishing services are paid directly by the customer at the time of shipment. We also provide contracting manufacturing services to customers.

 

Costs of Conducting Our Business

 

Cost of revenue is comprised of direct and indirect costs to manufacture, repair and supply our products, including labor, materials, utilities, equipment repair, lease expense related to our facilities, supplies and freight.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense is comprised of costs such as new business development, technical product support, research and development costs, compensation expense for general corporate operations including accounting, human resources, risk management, etc., information technology expenses, safety and environmental expenses, legal and professional fees and other related administrative functions.

 

Other income (expense) for 2023, net is comprised primarily of interest expense and recovery of a fully reserved related party note receivable. Other income (expense), net for 2024 is comprised primarily of acquisition costs.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

 

Revenue

 

Our revenue decreased approximately $1,335,000, or 21%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with the same period in the prior year. The decrease was driven by approximately $1,273,000, or 30%, decrease in tool revenue largely reflecting the drop in U.S. rig count. Contract services revenue decreased by $62,000, or 3%, over the prior year.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue increased approximately $66,000 or 3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with the same period in the prior year. This increase reflects the underutilization of manufacturing resources given the reduced demand, as well as the net impact of lower repair costs and domestic headcount offset by increased international headcount, operating supplies and travel in the Middle East. Domestic cost of revenue decreased by 16% while international cost of revenue increased by 19%.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $208,000, or 9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with the same period in the prior year. The decrease was the result of a decrease in legal fees.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased approximately $25,000 or 8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to capitalization of fixed asset projects and an increase in rental tools being put into service in the Middle East.

 

Other Income (Expenses)

 

Acquisition related expenses

 

Acquisition related expenses totaled approximately $1,748,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. These expenses pertain to legal and professional fees related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Drilling Tools International Corporation.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased approximately $40,000, or 26%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest rates and an increase in customer quick-pay options.

 

15

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2024, we had working capital of approximately $ 3,475,000. Our principal uses of cash are operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and debt service payments. Our operational and financial strategies include managing our operating costs and capital spending to reflect revenue trends, accelerating collections of international receivables, and controlling our working capital and debt to enhance liquidity.

 

Loan Agreement

 

On July 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) among Vast Bank, National Association, as lender (the “Lender”), and various subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors (the “Guarantors”).

 

The Loan Agreement provides for loans through the following facilities (collectively, the “Loans”):

 

  Revolving Line: The lesser of $750,000 or the borrowing base, which is currently 50% of eligible inventory as calculated under the Loan Agreement (“Revolving Line”), which matures on July 28, 2025.
     
  Term Loan: $1,719,200 term loan (the “Term Loan”), which matures on July 28, 2028.

 

The interest rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Line is the greater of (a) Prime plus 1.00% and (b) 7.50%, which was 9.50% at March 31, 2024. The interest rate per annum applicable to the Term Loan is 8.18%. Payments of principal and interest monthly on the Term Loan, and interest only on the Revolving Line, commenced on August 28, 2023. The balance of principal and interest on both Loans will be due upon maturity, if not sooner repaid. The Company may prepay and/or repay the Loans, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions. The balance of the Revolving Line and Term Loan totaled approximately $0 and $1,451,000 as of March 31, 2024, respectively.

 

The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants limiting, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the creation of liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, acquisitions, investments, loans and guarantees, subject, in each case, to customary exceptions, thresholds and baskets. The Loan Agreement also includes certain financial covenants which include a current assets/liabilities ratio, a debt service coverage ratio and a leverage ratio, as defined in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

 

The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors, and the obligations of the Company and any Guarantors are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of the Company and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions as noted in the Loan Agreement.

 

Business Manager Agreements

 

In connection with entering into the Loan Agreement, the Company entered into Business Manager Agreements for the purchase by the Lender of certain domestic and international accounts receivable of the Company. The face amount of the accounts under each agreement that may be purchased cannot exceed $2,500,000 under the domestic agreement and $2,000,000 under the international agreement. The service charge associated with the purchases is 1.25% under the domestic agreement and 2.0% under the international agreement. There are additional charges if accounts are not paid within 45 days. The Business Manager Agreements include recourse arrangements, which require the Company to repurchase transferred accounts receivable that remain unpaid for a specified period of time. The accounts are secured by a security interest in the accounts receivable in all of the Company’s present and after-acquired accounts receivable of the customers as defined in the agreements.

 

16

 

 

Generally, at the transfer date, the Company receives cash equal to 90% of the value of the sold domestic accounts receivable and 60% of the value of the sold international accounts receivable, less the service charge. The remaining balance is held back as a reserve. The reserve balance is carried at fair value, which is remeasured monthly to take into account activity during the period (the Company’s interest in newly-transferred receivables and collections on previously transferred receivables), as well as changes in estimates of future interest rates and anticipated credit losses. Fluctuations in interest rates and revised estimates of credit losses were zero as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The carrying amount of the reserve was $120,060 and $166,139 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is classified within cash and restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company accounts for trade receivable transfers as sales and derecognizes the sold receivables from the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold receivables to the Lender having an aggregate face value of $2,494,950 in exchange for cash proceeds of $2,463,764. Cash received from the selling of receivables are presented as a change in trade receivables within the operating activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. Service fees for the period totaled $31,905, which are initially recorded as prepaids in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized over 45 days. The Company recognized expense of $32,924 related to the service fees for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which is included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The outstanding principal amount of the receivables sold under this facility amounted to $971,852 as of March 31, 2024.

 

Financing Obligation Liability

 

We have a financing obligation liability related to a failed sale-leaseback transaction. The balance of the financing obligation was approximately $4,017,280 as of March 31, 2024.

 

For more details on the terms of this transaction, see Note 9 – Financing Obligation Liability of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Machinery Loans

 

The Company financed the purchase of machinery and equipment through various loans. The outstanding loans have interest rates ranging from 5.50% to 5.94%, and repayment terms of 48-60 months. The balance of the machinery loans totaled approximately $486,000 and $522,000 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, as of March 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are subject to litigation that arises from time to time in the ordinary course of our business activities. In February 2019, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Lafayette Division, asserting that Stabil Drill Specialties, LLC’s (“Stabil Drill”) Smoothbore Eccentric Reamer infringes the patents of Extreme Technologies, LLC (one of our subsidiaries) on our patented Drill-N-Ream tool. The lawsuit was subsequently moved from Louisiana to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Additionally, on May 20, 2019, Extreme Technologies, LLC sued Short Bit & Tool Co. and Lot William Short, Jr. (“Defendants”) in the Northern District of Texas-Dallas Division for their work manufacturing the Smoothbore Eccentric Reamer for Stabil Drill. The Dallas lawsuit is stayed pending resolution of the first-filed, Houston suit. On October 1, 2020, Superior Energy Services, Stabil Drill’s parent company, filed for bankruptcy, which resulted in a brief, automatic stay of the litigation. Superior Energy Services announced on February 2, 2021, that it successfully completed its financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but this bankruptcy did not affect Extreme Technologies’ claims against Stabil Drill. On March 9, 2021, the Court lifted the automatic bankruptcy stay, and on May 12, 2021, the Court denied Stabil Drill’s motion for summary judgment of non-infringement. On May 23, 2022, the Court issued its Order on Claim Construction of the patents, adopting Extreme Technologies’ proffered interpretation on the disputed claim terms. On February 13, 2023, the lawsuit was reassigned to United States District Judge Drew B. Tipton and United States Magistrate Judge Peter Bray. On March 27, 2023, Magistrate Bray entered an amended Scheduling Order. In accordance with such amended Scheduling Order, fact discovery ended on April 14, 2023, and expert discovery is scheduled to end on or before June 8, 2023. The parties are preparing this case for trial and expect a jury trial setting.in summer of 2024.

 

We are not currently involved in any other litigation which management believes could have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
