Acquisition of Adler Hot Oil Service, LLC 
 
On
October 26, 2018,
Enservco Corporation entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Adler Hot Oil Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), pursuant to which Enservco acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Adler Hot Oil Service, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Adler”) for a gross aggregate purchase price of
$12.5
 million, plus approximately
$500,000
in working capital adjustments (the “Transaction”). The purchase price allocation differs from the gross aggregate purchase price due to fair value adjustments to the indemnity holdback, earnout, plus the discount on the subordinated note. Certain former members of Adler are also parties to the Agreement. Adler is a provider of frac water heating and hot oiling services, whose assets consist primarily of vehicles and equipment, with a complementary base of customers in several oil and gas producing basins where Enservco operates.
 
The consideration paid or to be paid by Enservco under the Agreement originally included: (i)
$3.7
million in cash paid to or for the benefit of the Seller at the closing; (ii) a subordinated promissory note issued to the Seller in the principal amount of
$4.8
million, plus interest accrued thereon (the “Seller Subordinated Note”), as further discussed below; (iii) retirement by Enservco of
$2.5
 million in indebtedness of Adler; (iv) an earn-out payment of up to
$1.0
million in cash payable to the Seller (the "Earn-Out Payment"), the actual amount of which is subject to Enservco's satisfaction of certain EBITDA-related performance conditions during 
2019;
and (v)
$1.0
million in cash held by Enservco and payable to the Seller on
April 26, 2020,
subject to offset by Enservco for any indemnification obligations owed by the Seller or certain former members of Adler under the Agreement (the "Indemnity Holdback Payment"). Certain aspects of the consideration have been modified since execution of the Agreement as further discussed below. 
 
On
April 4, 2019 
Enservco and the Seller entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) in order to resolve certain disputes and disagreements relating to the Transaction. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement the parties agreed to (i) waive all rights of the Seller to the Earn-Out Payment and the Indemnity Holdback Payment, (ii) reduce the original principal balance of the Seller Subordinated Note from
$4,800,000
to
$4,500,000,
(iii) extend the maturity date of the Seller Subordinated Note from
March 31, 2019
to
April 10, 2019,
subject to a
nine
-day grace period, and (iv) execute a mutual release. All adjustments to the original purchase accounting were recognized in the
second
quarter of
2019,
when the settlement occurred. We also considered whether the execution of the Settlement Agreement was an indicator of impairment regarding the recorded balance of goodwill and the definite-lived intangible assets. With regard to goodwill, we determined that it was
not
more likely than
not
that the carrying amount of the reporting unit was greater than its fair value, and thus determined that further evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment was
not
necessary. We perform a goodwill impairment analysis over the recorded balance on an annual basis, or if we determine an indicator of impairment exists.
 
With regard to the definite-lived intangible assets, we determined that there were
no
events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that its carrying amount
may
not
be recoverable, and therefore determined that a test for recoverability was
not
required.
 
The acquisition of Adler qualified as a business combination and as such, we estimated the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date. Additionally, we estimated the fair value of contingent consideration given. The fair value measure of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed applied various valuation methods to estimate the value of the intangibles that would provide a fair and reasonable value to a market participant, in view of the facts available at the time. Each valuation method was analyzed to determine which method would generate the most reasonable estimate of value of the Company's intangible assets as of
October 26, 2018.
Both internal and external factors influencing the value of the intangibles were considered such as Adler's financial position, results of operations, historical financial data, future financial expectations, economic conditions, status of the oil and gas industry and Adler's position in the industry.
 
In connection with the execution of the Settlement Agreement, we reviewed our estimates and allocation of the fair value of assets acquired, consideration transferred, and contingent consideration given in connection with the Transaction. In our judgment, the reduction in the fair value of the consideration did
not
have a clear and direct link to the purchase price, and therefore the change in the fair value of the Indemnity Holdback Payment of approximately
$908,000,
 the change in the fair value of the Earn-Out Payment, of approximately
$44,000,
and the 
$300,000
reduction in the amount of the Seller Subordinated Note, were each recorded as gains within Other Income (Expense) in the accompanying Statements of Operations during
2019.
 
The goodwill of approximately
$245,000
arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies expected be achieved from combining the operations of Enservco and Adler.
None
of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Subordinated Note
 
In connection with the Transaction and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, on
October 26, 2018,
Enservco issued to the Seller the Seller Subordinated Note in the original principal amount of 
$4.8
million, which was reduced to
$4.5
million as discussed above, and unpaid amounts thereunder incurred simple interest at a rate of
8%
per annum. Enservco was required to and made principal payments on
November 30, 2018
of
$800,000,
on
February 28, 2019
of
$200,000,
and additional payments during
April 
2019
totaling
$3.5
million. The Seller Subordinated Note was guaranteed by Enservco's subsidiaries and secured by a junior security interest in substantially all assets of Enservco and its subsidiaries. The Seller Subordinated Note was subject to a subordination agreement by and among Enservco, the Seller, and East West Bank. On
April 19, 2019,
Enservco made the final payment to settle the principal balance and accrued interest on the Seller Subordinated Note and Enservco has
no
further obligations to the Seller.
 
Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Consent 
 
In connection with the Transaction, on
October 26, 2018,
Enservco and East West Bank entered into a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Consent (the “Second Amendment to LSA”), which amended the Loan and Security Agreement dated
August 10, 2017
by and between Enservco and East West Bank (the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment to LSA, East West Bank consented to the Transaction and increased the maximum borrowing limit of the senior secured revolving credit facility provided to Enservco under the Loan Agreement to
$37.0
million. Proceeds of
$6.2
 million from the increased senior secured revolving credit facility were used in the Transaction to make the cash payments at closing and retire the indebtedness of Adler. In connection with the Second Amendment to LSA the capital expenditure limitation contained within the Loan Agreement was increased to
$3.0
million from
$2.5
million.
 
On
October 26, 2018,
in connection with the Second Amendment to LSA, Adler entered into a Joinder Agreement, pursuant to which Adler was joined as a party to the Loan Agreement.
