BLACKWATER MIDSTREAM CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2010 included herein have been prepared without an audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of the management of Blackwater Midstream Corp. (the "Company", "us", "our", or "we"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the March 31, 2010 audited financial statements and notes thereto.  The balance sheet at March 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  Certain items in 2009 have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 financial statement presentation generally accepted in the United States of America.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010.  The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year.

CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD

In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), the Company recorded a non-cash adjustment for the year ended March 31, 2010 of $111,237 which served to reduce certain share-based compensation recorded in Selling, General and Administrative Expense and Additional Paid in Capital.  This non-cash adjustment resulted from incorrectly expensing options granted under the 2009 Non-Employee Directors Stock Incentive Plan.  The error arose because this Plan had not yet been approved by the shareholders of the Company at the time of the grant.  As a result of the Company’s evaluation of this error under SAB 108, the Company determined that this error was material in relation to the current quarter, but not material to the year ended March 31, 2010.  Consequently, the March 31, 2010 balance sheet was adjusted to reflect the correction of this error.  In evaluating materiality and determining the appropriateness of applying SAB 108 to this error, the Company considered materiality both qualitatively and quantitatively as prescribed by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99.
 
The impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2010 was a reduction to Additional Paid-in Capital of $111,237 and a corresponding decrease in the accumulated deficit of the same amount.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

We have reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Net income for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2010 included $97,702 and $192,144, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs for management, $0 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and $241,348 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 for stock-based compensation costs for directors, and $19,478 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and $26,788 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 of stock-based compensation cost for equity awards granted to non-employees which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

In September of 2010, the remaining term of 2,117,646 stock options previously granted to directors in April of 2009 was reduced from nine years to three months as a result of their termination from the board.  In the same month, the Company modified these stock options to extend the remaining term from three months to sixteen months.  The extension of the term was accounted for under ASC 718-35-3 “Stock Compensation – Modification of an Award” and as a result the incremental cost resulting from the modification was recorded as compensation expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.  The Company determined the fair value of the stock options immediately prior to modification was $320,568 and the fair value immediately after the modification was $522,798, resulting in an incremental cost of $202,230.  The fair values of the options were determined by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following inputs: (1) Stock price on the modification date (2) Exercise price and expected term as reflected in the original and modified agreements (3) Expected volatilities ranging from 150%-203% (4) Risk free rate of 1% and (5) No expected dividends.

In September 2010, the Company granted 43,465 restrictive shares of common stock to each of its four officers and three directors, 304,255 shares in aggregate, pursuant to the Company’s 2008 Incentive Plan.  The shares were valued at $0.30 per share as of the grant date.  The shares to the directors vested immediately on September 1, 2010.  The shares to management shall vest on January 1, 2012; only if the individual members of management are employed with the Company on the date of vesting.  For the six months ended September 30, 2010, we expensed $42,378 related to these grants.

As of September 30, 2010, there was approximately $521,108 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock-based compensation for the restricted shares granted to management that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately fifteen months.

On December 7, 2009, pursuant to the Company’s 2009 Non-Employee Directors Stock Incentive Plan, (the “Plan”) the Company granted 1,200,000 shares of stock options to three non-employee directors, subject to approval by the stockholders at the Company’s annual shareholder meeting in September 2010.  Pending approval, the options were to vest in three periods: 171,426 options on December 7, 2009, 514,287 options on the date of the Company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in 2010, if all three directors are re-appointed and 514,287 options on the date of the Company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in 2011, if all three directors are re-appointed or elected to serve.  The exercise price for the stock options was based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant, which was $0.35 per share.

As per the Company’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting held on September 2, 2010, the three non-employee directors were not nominated for election to the Company’s Board of Directors nor was the 2009 Non-Employee Directors Stock Incentive Plan approved by the shareholders.

Therefore, the Plan and the grants are not effective and the Company has not recognized any related compensation cost.

On May 19, 2010, the Company entered into a six month consulting agreement, which was amended on June 11, 2010, (the “Consulting Agreements”), with Malcolm McGuire & Associates, L.L.C. (“Consultant”).  The Consulting Agreements require the Company to pay a monthly consulting fee of $4,000 to the Consultant beginning as of May 19, 2010 for six months, to grant Consultant 2,500 shares of the Company’s common stock monthly beginning on June 1, 2010 for six months, and as of June 11, 2010 to grant Consultant the option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock at the exercise price of $0.50 per share, vesting on November 20, 2010 exercisable until November 20, 2015, with a fair value of $34,332 as of September 30, 2010.

Through September 2010, the Consultant received 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, equal to an expense amount of $2,650 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and $3,900 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010.  The Consultant also received 5,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock during and for the periods of October and November 2010.

The Company recorded an expense of approximately $16,828 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and $22,888 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 relating to the granting of the option to Consultant.

The grant-date fair value for the stock options was estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model which incorporated the following assumptions as of September 30, 2010:

LONG-TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE.

On June 24, 2010, we entered into a Line of Credit Note (the “Note”) with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”).  The Note provides us with access to an amount up to $500,000 to provide working capital and to finance customer contract related capital improvements, tank modifications, piping, drumming equipment, etc.  The Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.00% above the Prime Rate.  Commencing July 31, 2010, the Company began making monthly interest payments until maturity on June 30, 2011, when the principal sum will be due.  Copies of the Note, Continuing Security Agreement and Amendment to Credit Agreement are incorporated by reference to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on June 28, 2010.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company had borrowed $500,000 on this Note, the balance of which is included in the current portion of long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

On August 16, 2010, we entered into a Line of Credit Note (the “August 2010 Note”) with JPM.  The August 2010 Note provides us with access to an amount up to $500,000 to provide working capital and to finance customer contract related capital improvements.  The August 2010 Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.00% above the Prime Rate.  On or before October 31, 2010, the Company is to make interest and principal payments on the balance due.  Copies of the August 2010 Note are incorporated by reference to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 19, 2010.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company had borrowed $131,500 on this loan, the balance of which is included in the current liabilities section of our consolidated balance sheet.

In addition, during the six months ended September 30, 2010, we borrowed an additional $810,500 on our non-revolving line of credit with JPM to partially finance construction of three storage tanks and a ship dock at the Westwego, LA Terminal. Advances on this line of credit bear interest at 2.00% above the Prime Rate and principal payments are due monthly in the amount of $35,000, beginning in April 2010.  All unpaid principal and accrued interest is due on February 12, 2011.

On September 27, 2010, we entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement amending two loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $3,766,666.78 (the “Loan Amount”) with JPM to combine these loans into a single term loan with same principal balance.  The new term note bears interest at the annual rate of 1.50% above the Prime Rate, subject to certain minimum rate requirements.  The Company will pay consecutive monthly installments of principal in the amount of $76,871, commencing September 30, 2010.  The loan matures on September 30, 2014, at which time all unpaid principal and accrued unpaid interest is finally due and payable.

The Company evaluated the modification event under ASC 470-60 “Troubled Debt Restructurings”. Because the debt holder did not grant a concession as a part of the modification, the transaction was not accounted for as troubled debt restructuring. Consequently, the Company evaluated this transaction under ASC 470-50 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments” to determine if the modification was substantial. The Company determined that the difference in the present value of future cash flows between the original debt instruments and the modified debt instrument was less than 10%, and therefore the modification was determined to be not substantial. Accordingly, the Company will account for the modified debt prospectively at its new effective interest rate of 4.87%.

In conjunction with our September 2009 and January 2010 convertible debt raising activities, we amortized deferred financing costs of approximately $107,236 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and approximately $214,471 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010.  There were no similar charges during the three-month or six-month period ended September 30, 2009. 
 
Future minimum payments as per our third party loan agreements and related party convertible debt notes for the next five years and the total amount thereafter are as follows, if none of the convertible notes are converted into common shares of the Company.  The future minimum payments presented below are considering the Company’s loan agreements with JPM on October 29, 2010, as discussed in Section 7 “Subsequent Events” of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Part 1 of this 10-Q Report.

GAIN AND LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF ASSETS.

In addition to the $2,513 amount expensed for legal fees during the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 due to the insurance claim in February 2009, we also recorded a net non-cash loss of approximately $171,463 relating to the demolition of small storage tanks at the Westwego Terminal for a total loss on disposal of assets of $173,976.  The amount expensed for our insurance claim during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $1,621 and the amount for the demolition of small storage tanks was approximately $22,250.

On February 9, 2009 one of our storage tanks developed a minor leak during the introduction of product (sulfuric acid) into the tank.  Terminal staff detected the leak and successfully contained it in the designated earthen berm area and immediately contacted all required federal, state and local authorities and agencies about the situation.  Shortly thereafter, we began remediation and cleanup efforts and engaged expert environmental cleanup companies to assist with the process.  While the cleanup effort was ongoing, the product was transferred into rented barges specifically designed for sulfuric acid.

As a result of this leak we recorded a loss of $1,620 and $893 for legal fees for the three-month and six-month periods, respectively, ended September 30, 2010, a gain on disposal of asset of $255,188 for the year ended March 31, 2010 and a loss on disposal of asset of $902,761 for the period December 23, 2008 through March 31, 2009.  The table below presents the net activity for all periods.

BRUNSWICK TERMINAL ASSET PURCHASE.

On July 15, 2010 Blackwater Georgia, L.L.C. (“BWGA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, finalized the acquisition of the Brunswick Georgia Terminal (the “Brunswick Terminal”) for $1,800,000 from NuStar Terminals Operations Partnership, L.P. (the “Seller”).  We commissioned and obtained a leasehold valuation appraisal (the “Brunswick Terminal Appraisal”) from a third-party independent appraisal firm.  The Brunswick Terminal Appraisal concluded that the leasehold value of the Brunswick Terminal as of July 15, 2010 was $1,900,000.  Therefore, we valued the combined assets at the Brunswick Terminal for $1,900,000 and recorded a $100,000 gain for the difference, which is recorded in the company's statement of operations.

The Brunswick Terminal has a storage capacity of 161,000 barrels and currently leases the underlying ground from the Georgia Ports Authority which is scheduled to terminate September 4, 2012.  The seller of the Brunswick Terminal has agreed to assist the Company in obtaining a new lease agreement prior to the expiration of the current lease.  If a new lease agreement cannot be obtained, or an extension of the current lease cannot be negotiated prior to the expiration of the current lease, the purchase price shall be reduced by $500,000.

The Company evaluated the purchase under Rule 3-05 and determined that it was not a business acquisition due to the fact that the terminal was dormant for a substantial part of the past two years prior to acquisition.  The Company also evaluated the purchase under FASC ASC 805 and concluded that it should be treated as a business acquisition under US GAAP; and therefore applied the purchase accounting method.

Presented below are pro-forma consolidated statements of operations for the six month period ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, when considering the operating results of the Brunswick Terminal if acquired as of April 1, 2009.

ITEM 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-looking Statements

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS OF OUR OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.

This section of this report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect Blackwater Midstream Corp.'s (the "Company") current views with respect to future events and financial performance.  Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: "believe," "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "intend," "project" and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events.  You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report.  These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

The following discussion provides an analysis of the results of our operations, an overview of our liquidity and capital resources and other items related to our business.  The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Overview of Company and its Operations

Company references herein are referring to consolidated information pertaining to the Company (formerly Laycor Ventures Corp.), the registrant, our wholly-owned subsidiaries Blackwater New Orleans, L.L.C., Blackwater Georgia, L.L.C. and to Laycor Ventures Corp.

General.  We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 23, 2004.  We changed our name from Laycor Ventures Corp. to Blackwater Midstream Corp. on March 18, 2008 and on March 21, 2008, a change in the ownership and management control of the Company occurred.  At that time, we changed our business objective to become an independent developer and manager of third-party fuel, agricultural and chemical bulk liquid storage terminals. Commencing in May 2008 we hired new management and appointed a new board of directors.
 
Our income is derived from tank leasing, throughput charges for receipt and delivery options and other services requested by our customers.  The terms of our storage leasing contracts range from month-to-month, to multiple years, with renewal options.  Cash generated from the operations is our primary source of liquidity for funding debt service, maintenance, and small-scale potential capital expenditures.  Based on long-term contracts, we would seek debt financing to fund larger-scale capital expenditures.  Our operations support many different commercial customers, including refiners and chemical manufacturers.  The diversity of our customer base, lends to the potential diversity of the products customers may want stored in our terminals.  

We generally receive our customer’s liquid product by river barge and ship.  Their product is transferred from the river vessels to the leased storage tank(s) via the terminal’s internal pipeline apparatus.  The customer’s product is removed from storage by truck, railcar and/or by barge or ship.  The length of time that the customer’s product is held in storage without transfer varies depending upon the customer’s needs.

Westwego Terminal Operations.  In September 2008, we formed Blackwater New Orleans, L.L.C. (“BWNO”), a Louisiana limited liability company, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to acquire the Westwego, LA Terminal (the “Westwego Terminal”) in December 2008.
 
The purchase price for the Westwego Terminal was $4,800,000, subject to certain adjustments for prepaid third-party fees, adjustment to inventory and transaction-related expenses. At purchase, the Westwego Terminal had an approximate leasable storage capacity of 752,000 barrels. 

During the 1st and 2nd quarters of 2010, we completed construction of three 50,000 barrel steel storage tanks, increasing the leasable storage capacity to approximately 902,000 barrels.  During July and August of 2010, to allow for future erection of newer and larger storage tanks, we dismantled the steel structures of six 7,500 barrel tanks (their foundations remain in place) for a reduction in barrel capacity of 45,000 barrels. As of September 30, 2010, we had 46 above-the-ground storage tanks at the Westwego Terminal ranging in size from approximately a 5,000 barrel capacity to tanks with over a 100,000 barrel capacity.

Brunswick Terminal Operations.  In February 2010, we formed Blackwater Georgia, L.L.C. (BWGA), a Georgia limited liability company, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to acquire the Brunswick, GA Terminal (the “Brunswick Terminal”) on July 15, 2010.

 
11

 
The purchase price for the Brunswick Terminal was $1,800,000.  At purchase, the Brunswick Terminal had an approximate leasable storage capacity of 161,000 barrels.  The four above-the-ground storage tanks at the Brunswick Terminal range in size from two 500 barrel capacity tanks and two 80,000 barrel capacity tanks.

Growth of our Business. The importance of bulk terminal facilities in the refined product and chemical manufacturing segments has grown significantly over the past decade as the nation’s product supply patterns have become increasingly more complex.  Bulk liquid terminals allow producers to operate their refineries and manufacturing plants more efficiently by providing capacity to level out both increases and decreases in product demand.  In addition, bulk liquid terminals provide a more efficient supply chain by storing the product either closer to the production or consumption locations.

Our current business model is to continue to increase the utilization rate of our existing storage tanks at the Westwego and Brunswick terminals and to construct additional storage tanks at those sites as needed.

Additionally, we plan to pursue the acquisition of other underachieving, underutilized storage terminals through asset purchases and management agreements. We believe the considerable experience of the Company’s management team will be a key factor in transitioning underperforming terminals into viable profit centers. We expect these acquisitions to provide immediate accretive results to the Company’s operations, and will also allow us to serve the specific storage needs of our customers at our various terminals.

Results of Operations

For the Three-Month and Six-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009.

Revenues-Revenues from our storage terminal facilities are derived from two main areas of operation: recurring contractual storage tank lease fees and monthly ancillary services. The following is a discussion about each source of revenue.

Revenues-Storage Revenues.  The Company’s storage tank revenues for the three-month and six–month periods ended September 30, 2010 totaled approximately $1,481,000 and $2,731,000, respectively, as compared to the storage tank revenues of approximately $907,000 and $1,608,000, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2009.  This is an increase of approximately 63% when comparing the three-month periods ending September 30th and 70% when comparing the six-month periods ended September 30th.  For the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, the monthly average storage revenue was approximately $494,000 and for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010, the monthly average storage revenue was $455,000.  For the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, the monthly average was approximately $302,000 and for the six-month period ended September 30, 2009 the monthly average was approximately $268,000.  This rise in revenues is attributable to an increase in the number of customers, an increase in the number of tanks and barrels leased, and an increase in the rate structure due to a different product mix, and the purchase of the Brunswick Terminal.  The Brunswick Terminal contributed $70,000 in revenues for the combined months of August and September 2010.

Management monitors the utilization rate of the leasable barrels available in our storage tanks each month.  At the commencement of the Company’s operations at the Westwego Terminal in December 2008, the leasable barrel utilization rate was 38% and at the Brunswick Terminal, the utilization rate in July 2010 was 0%.  

As of September 30, 2010 we had leased approximately 835,200 barrels of storage, for a combined storage utilization rate of approximately 82%.  The major products currently stored at our terminals are lubricating oils, 50% grade caustic, sulfuric acid and liquid fertilizer.

See the table below for the month-to-month increases in utilization rate percentages.  Management attributes the December 2008-September 2010 116% increase in the utilization rate to aggressive marketing of our terminals, their desirable locations as distribution hubs, our services offered, storage capacity, and to management’s industry associations.  If considering the six tanks or 45,000 barrels as only temporarily unavailable capacity, then the consolidated utilization rate as of September 30, 2010 would be approximately 79% or an increase of 108% from the original acquisition dates.

Revenues-Ancillary Services.  Ancillary revenues are earned based on a customer’s particular needs; and, therefore, by their nature fluctuate from month to month.  The Company’s ancillary revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2010 totaled approximately $278,000 and $345,000, respectively or approximately 154% more than the ancillary revenues of approximately $110,000 for three-month period ended September 30, 2009 and $162,000 or approximately 114% for the six-month period ended September 30, 2009.  This increase is due to an ever-increasing array of ancillary services the Company is offering to customers, specifically, blending and packaging.

Cost of Revenue Operating Expenses.  Our cost of revenue operating expenses consist mainly of direct and contract labor, associated payroll taxes and labor burden expenses, terminal materials and supplies, subcontractors, depreciation expenses, and other expenses.

Our cost of revenue operating expenses have increased ratably from period to period due to our increased utilization and revenues but have decreased in percentage when compared to total revenue.  They totaled approximately $589,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, or 33% of revenue; as compared to approximately $351,000 for the three-month period ending September 30, 2009 or 35% of revenue.  The key indicator of labor as a percentage of revenue decreased from 12% to 11% for the three-month periods ending September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.  General materials increased from 4% to 13% for the three month periods ending September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively as we increased maintenance and consumed materials and supplies utilized by our new packaging activities.   Also depreciation expense increased by less than 1%, as a percentage of revenues, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, due to our expansion and therefore to our subsequent increase in depreciation expenses.

Our cost of revenue operating expenses totaled approximately $930,000 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010, or 30% of revenue; as compared to approximately $678,000 for the six-month period ending September 30, 2009 or 38% of revenue.  The key indicator of labor as a percentage of revenue decreased from 13% to 11% for the six-month periods ending September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.  General materials have increased from 4% to 9% for the six-month periods ending September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively as we increased maintenance and consumed materials utilized by our new packing activities.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $1,171,000, or 67% of revenues, or an average of approximately $390,000 per month.  This is a 76% increase from the monthly average gross profit of $222,000 for the three-month period ending September 30, 2009; which was approximately $666,000 or 65% of revenues.

Similarly, gross profit for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 almost doubled from the $1,091,000 amount recorded as of September 30, 2009 or 62% of revenues to approximately $2,146,000 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 or 70% of revenues. The average monthly gross profit increased for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010, from approximately $358,000 or 97% better than the six-month period’s monthly average of approximately $182,000 ended on September 30, 2009.

These increases in gross profit are attributable to an increase in the number of customers, growing storage revenues and ancillary services, higher storage utilization, and operational efficiencies during the comparative periods.

Selling, General and Administration Expenses (SG&A).  Our SG&A expenses include our corporate executive management salaries, executive management non-cash compensation (restrictive stock grants), other non-cash compensation to directors and consultants, expenses related to being a public company, professional fees, insurance, and other expenses that were not allocated or expensed to the terminals’ operations via our cost of revenue operating expenses.  The narrative following outlines the expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ending September 30, 2010 and the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and the table following for the six month periods.

Our consolidated SG&A expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $1,130,000 or 64% of total revenues, averaging approximately $377,000 per month.  Our consolidated SG&A expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 were approximately $1,102,000 or 108% of total revenues, averaging approximately $367,000 per month.  This represents an increase of approximately 2% for the comparative three-month average.

Our consolidated SG&A expenses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $1,842,000 or 60% of total revenues, averaging approximately $307,000 per month.  Our consolidated SG&A expenses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2009 were approximately $2,484,000 or 140% of total revenues, averaging approximately $414,000 per month.  This represents a decrease of approximately 26% for the comparative three-month average.

Non-cash activity for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2010 includes management non-cash compensation expense for services of approximately $98,000 and $192,000, respectively. Non-cash activity for directors’ compensation expense was approximately $241,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2010.  Non-cash activity also included approximately $19,000 for professional fees for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and approximately $27,000 for the six-month period.  These non-cash expenses total approximately $359,000 during the three-month period and approximately $460,000 for the six-month period.   Excluding these non-cash amounts, our total SG&A expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 would have been approximately $771,000 or approximately 44% of total revenues.  Excluding these non-cash amounts, our total SG&A expenses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 would have been approximately $1,382,000 or approximately 45% of total revenues.  Comparatively, excluding our non-cash expenses of approximately $262,000 for management, directors and services for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, the total SG&A would have been $840,000 or 83% of total revenues.  Excluding our non-cash expenses of approximately $960,000 for management, directors and services for the six-month period ended September 30, 2009, the total SG&A would have been $1,525,000 or 86% of total revenues.

The amount expensed for management’s salaries were the same for both six month periods.  Non-cash compensation expensed for management, directors and consultants restrictive shares and options greatly decreased by approximately $500,000 from the six-month period ended September 30, 2009 to the six-month period ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease is due in part to the extension of the vesting periods of management’s restrictive shares until January 2012, reducing the monthly expense.  However, the largest decrease is due to the non-recurring expense of approximately $435,000 for the options granted to directors in April 2009.  Offsetting these decreases was a charge of $202,230 in September 2010 for a one-time compensation modification on stock options, previously granted to former directors, due to an extension granted in the remaining term of the options.

Professional fees for the six-month comparative periods decreased by approximately $189,000 or approximately 37% due to the elimination of certain consulting services, non-recurring professional expenses for legal and audit services, and better negotiation and management of expenditures.  Business related insurance expenses increased as we sought additional coverage and increased limits for the business and the insuring of the recently acquired Brunswick Terminal.  The other SG&A expense category remained stable throughout the periods.

Management is pleased with the overall decrease in SG&A expenses in total dollars and as they relate to total revenues, as this supports Management’s belief and plan that we can increase revenues and utilization from our operations of our terminals without greatly increasing our established SG&A expenses.

Gain / Loss on Disposal of Assets.  Repairs, cleanup, legal and other expenses related to the tank leak incident in February 2009, were recorded as a loss on disposal of assets to the extent that the loss was not recoverable through insurance.  The table below summarizes amounts related to this incident.

On May 7, 2010, we filed suit in the United States District Court Eastern District of Louisiana against our former pollution coverage carrier for unpaid expense reimbursement claims pertaining to our tank leak incident on February 9, 2009.  In dispute are approximately $549,000 worth of unpaid expenses and collection of attorneys’ fees.

In addition to the $2,513 amount expensed for legal fees during the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 due to the insurance claim in February 2009, we also recorded a net non-cash loss of approximately $171,000 relating to the demolition of small storage tanks at the Westwego Terminal.

Depreciation.   Our consolidated overhead (non-revenue producing assets) depreciation expense was approximately $12,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, and $22,000 for the six-month period ending September 30, 2010, averaging approximately $3,700 per month.  This is slightly higher when compared to the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2009, as we added overhead assets in our business.

Interest Expense. We recorded net interest expense of approximately $263,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and approximately $380,000 net interest expense for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010.  This compares to our net interest expense of approximately $28,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 and approximately $66,000 net interest expense for the six-month period ended September 30, 2009.

Gain on Bargain Purchase of Assets and Gain on Disposal of Asset.  On July 15, 2010 we finalized the acquisition of the Brunswick Georgia Terminal for $1,800,000.  We commissioned and obtained a leasehold valuation appraisal from a third-party independent appraisal firm.  The Brunswick Terminal Appraisal concluded that the leasehold value of the Brunswick Terminal as of July 15, 2010 was $1,900,000.  Therefore, we valued the combined assets at the Brunswick Terminal for $1,900,000 and recorded a $100,000 gain for the difference, which is recorded in the Company's statement of operations.

Pertaining to the tank leak incident at the Westwego Terminal in February 2009, we recorded the amounts due from our insurance carriers and the expenses we have incurred as of September 30, 2009 in the consolidated statement of operations.  

During the six-month period ended September 30, 2009, we collected $61,842 in pollution insurance expense reimbursements from our pollution insurance carrier and recorded a receivable of $250,000, as per a property insurance settlement, due from our property insurance carrier.  The $250,000 was collected in October 2009.  During the six-month period ended September 30, 2009, we recorded $181,348 in related expenses.  The table below summarizes amounts related to this incident.

We have not recorded any gains associated with this incident during the six-month period ended September 30, 2010.

Net Income (Loss) from Operations.  While we recorded a net loss of $283,582 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 we were still generating a net income of approximately $383,411 when not considering non-cash events, see the discussion below.  For the six-month period ended September 30, 2010; we recorded a net loss of $171,979 or a net income of approximately $834,250 when not considering non-cash events.  These results are both major improvements when compared to the net income without non-cash events of approximately $244,051 recorded for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 and the net loss without non-cash events of approximately $70,864 recorded for the six-month period ended September 30, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

General.   Our primary cash requirements are for working capital; which includes debt service and normal operating expenses.  We attempt to fund our working capital requirements with cash generated from our operations.  If we do not generate sufficient cash from operations to meet these requirements, we attempt to raise funds through debt financing and/or equity.  We generally fund our strategic capital expenditures from external sources, primarily borrowing that is secured by long-term contracts with our customers.  However, our ability to raise funds by issuing debt or equity depends on many factors beyond our control.  The volatility of the capital and credit markets could restrict our ability to issue debt or equity or may increase our cost of capital beyond rates acceptable to us.

Significant Events during the Three-Month and Six-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2010.
 
Current Debt and Notes Payable.  On June 24, 2010, we entered into a Line of Credit Note (the “Note”) with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”).  The Note provides us with access to an amount up to $500,000 to provide working capital and to finance customer contract related capital improvements, tank modifications, piping, drumming equipment, etc.  The Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.00% above the Prime Rate.  Commencing July 31, 2010, the Company began making monthly interest payments until maturity on June 30, 2011, when the principal sum will be due.  Copies of the Note, Continuing Security Agreement and Amendment to Credit Agreement are incorporated by reference to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on June 28, 2010.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company had borrowed $500,000 on this Note, the balance of which is included in the current portion of long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

On August 16, 2010, we entered into a Line of Credit Note (the “August 2010 Note”) with JPM.  The August 2010 Note provides us with access to an amount up to $500,000 to provide working capital and to finance customer contract related capital improvements.  The August 2010 Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.00% above the Prime Rate.  On or before October 31, 2010, the Company is to make interest and principal payments on the balance due.  Copies of the August 2010 Note are incorporated by reference to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 19, 2010.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company had borrowed $131,500 on this loan, the balance of which is included in the current liabilities section of our consolidated balance sheet.

On September 27, 2010, we entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement amending two loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $3,766,666.78 (the “Loan Amount”) with JPM to combine these loans into a single term loan with same principal balance.  The new term note bears interest at the annual rate of 1.50% above the Prime Rate, subject to certain minimum rate requirements.  The Company will pay consecutive monthly installments of principal in the amount of $76,871, commencing September 30, 2010.  The loan matures on September 30, 2014, at which time all unpaid principal and accrued unpaid interest is finally due and payable.

The Company evaluated the modification event under ASC 470-60 “Troubled Debt Restructurings”. Because the debt holder did not grant a concession as a part of the modification, the transaction was not accounted for as troubled debt restructuring. Consequently, the Company evaluated this transaction under ASC 470-50 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments” to determine if the modification was substantial. The Company determined that the difference in the present value of future cash flows between the original debt instruments and the modified debt instrument was less than 10%, and therefore the modification was determined to be not substantial. Accordingly, the Company will account for the modified debt prospectively at its new effective interest rate of 4.87%.

In conjunction with our September 2009 and January 2010 convertible debt raising activities, we amortized deferred financing costs of approximately $107,236 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and approximately $214,471 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010.  There were no similar charges during the three-month or six-month period ended September 30, 2009.

Discussion.  As of September 30, 2010, our total assets were approximately $14,164,000.  This amount includes cash and cash equivalents of approximately $45,000.  Additionally, the total assets amount includes approximately $107,000 from trade and other receivables, approximately $429,000 from the current portion of deferred financing charges, approximately $170,000 for prepaid expenses, approximately $100,000 for the long-tem portion of deferred financing charges, and approximately $13,313,000 from net property, plant and equipment.

Our total liabilities were approximately $12,085,000.  Our current liabilities were approximately $4,567,000, which includes accounts and accrued payables of approximately $2,286,000, deferred revenue (due to storage prepayment) of approximately $204,000, liabilities for our tank disposal associated with our insurance incident of approximately $522,000, and the current portion of our long-term debt of $1,554,000. Our long-term liabilities were approximately $7,518,000 which includes $2,767,000 for bank loans and approximately $4,751,000 for convertible debt loans.

At September 30, 2010, we had negative working capital of approximately $3,816,000.  This is an increase of approximately $2,093,000 from the year ended March 31, 2010.  The increase is mainly attributable to the Company’s efforts to self-fund some of its recent capital improvements, thus diverting cash to capital projects instead of paying current liabilities.  Management reconsidered this strategy and has sought third-party long-term refinancing.  Management has determined that all capital improvements will be substantially offset, financially with increased revenues, by the Company’s executed customer contracts and operational efficiencies.

Future minimum payments as per our third party loan agreements and related party convertible debt notes for the next five years and the total amount thereafter are as follows; if none of the convertible notes are converted into common shares of the Company.  The future minimum payments presented below are considering the Company’s loan agreements with JPM on October 29, 2010, as discussed in Section 7 “Subsequent Events” of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Part 1 of this 10-Q Report.

During the six-month period ended September 30, 2010, we reported a net loss of approximately $172,000.  Adding to this amount were the non-cash activities of approximately $1,006,000, use of cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $516,000, use of cash from investing activities of approximately $3,276,000 and receipt of funds from various financing activities of approximately $982,000, resulting in a decrease in cash for the period of approximately $1,975,000.

We do not have any operating leases or off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include processes to accumulate and evaluate relevant information and communicate such information to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
 
In designing such disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Noting these assumptions, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010, as required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act.
 
Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
At the Company’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting held on September 2, 2010, only one person was renominated and elected to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors; the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”).  As a result, the CEO is currently the only member of the Company’s Disclosure, Compensation and Audit Committees.  The CEO has stated that he will appoint members to the Company’s Board of Directors and to its various committees within the coming months.
