prospectus or incorporated herein by reference. This summary is
not complete and does not contain all of the information that
you should consider before deciding to invest in our common
stock, $.001 par value (Common
Stock). We urge you to read this entire prospectus
carefully, including the Risk Factors section. In

(NYTEX Petroleum), represents our oil
and gas business. Prior to the FDF Acquisition,
this segment generated virtually all of our revenues from
operations.
|

RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk.
Before making an investment decision, you should carefully
consider all of the risks described or incorporated by reference
in this prospectus. If any of the risks discussed in this
prospectus actually occur, our business, financial condition and
results of operations could be materially and adversely
affected. If this were to happen the value of our Common Stock
could decline significantly and you may lose all or a part of
your investment.
RISK
FACTORS RELATING TO OUR OPERATIONS
We are
in default under our senior debt facility and our mezzanine debt
agreement. If we are unable to reach an agreement with these
lenders to resolve the defaults, these lenders can exercise
remedies which ultimately could require us to curtail or cease
our operations.
On April 13, 2011, we received a letter from PNC Bank,
National Association (PNC), as lender,
notifying us of the occurrence and continued existence of
certain events of default under our senior debt facility, in
particular, breach of a fixed charge coverage ratio and breach
of our reporting requirements. We are currently in negotiations
with PNC to obtain a waiver of the defaults. However, there are
no assurances that we will be successful in our negotiations
with PNC. Because we are in default under the senior debt
facility, PNC may at any time exercise any of its remedies under
the facility, which include acceleration of the amounts owed,
which we may not have the ability to pay. If the debt is
accelerated and we are unable to pay, we could experience
materially higher interest expenses, and PNC could seek to
satisfy the debt by foreclosing on its liens on some or all of
our assets, which are security under the facility, or could
pursue other legal action. Any such action may require us to
curtail or cease our operations.
On April 14, 2011 we received a letter from WayPoint Nytex,
LLC (WayPoint), as mezzanine lender,
stating we are in default of the Preferred Stock and Warrant
Purchase Agreement among us, Acquisition Inc. and WayPoint
(WayPoint Purchase Agreement), for
defaults similar to the PNC defaults plus our failure to pay
dividends when due and, therefore, that WayPoint now has the
right to exercise the Control Warrant, as described on
page 7. If WayPoint exercises the Control Warrant, it would
own 51% of our outstanding Common Stock. We are currently in
negotiations with WayPoint to obtain a waiver and modify the
WayPoint Purchase Agreement. However, there are no assurances
that we will be successful in our negotiations with WayPoint.
By
virtue of having the right, and having exercised the right, to
designate a majority of the board of directors of our
subsidiary, Acquisition Inc., WayPoint may be deemed to have
control over Acquisition Inc. and its subsidiaries, including
FDF, our significant operating subsidiary. WayPoint also holds
the sole outstanding share of our Series B Preferred Stock,
entitling it to increase the size of our board of directors and
to designate a majority of our board. While members of a board
of directors owe fiduciary duties to all stockholders, WayPoint
has interests that are in addition to, or different from the
interests of our stockholders generally and that create
potential conflicts of interest.
In exchange for WayPoints $20 million investment that
was used to finance our acquisition of FDF, our newly created
subsidiary Acquisition Inc. issued WayPoint 20,750 shares
of Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock. Acquisition
Inc. is the sole owner of Francis Oaks, LLC, which in turn
wholly owns FDF. As long as any such shares are outstanding, the
holders of such shares, voting as a single class, are entitled
to elect two members to the board of Acquisition Inc. Upon the
occurrence of a default, as defined in the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement, and as more fully described under the Risk Factor
entitled The WayPoint Control Warrant allows for a
change in control, on page 7 herein, that remains
uncured for 75 days, the holders of a majority of shares of
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock may increase the
number of directors constituting the board of directors of
Acquisition Inc. up to that number that would give such holders
control of a majority of the board, and to designate such
additional directors. On May 9, 2011, WayPoint notified
Acquisition Inc. that, because of the continuing occurrences of
default, it elected to increase the board from four members to
five, and designated Mr. J.J. Schickel, Jr. to fill
this newly created vacancy. Mr. Schickel served in this
capacity until May 20, 2011, when WayPoint replaced
Mr. Schickel with Mr. Lee Buchwald. As
2
of June 30, 2011, the board of Acquisition Inc. included
Michael Galvis, Kenneth K. Conte, John Henry Moulton (a WayPoint
designee), Thomas Drechsler (a WayPoint designee) and
Mr. Buchwald (a WayPoint designee). For more information
about Mr. Moulton and Mr. Drechsler, see
Transactions with Related Persons and Certain Control
Persons, on page 48 herein. While members of a
board of directors owe fiduciary duties to all stockholders,
WayPoint has interests that are in addition to, or different
from the interests of our stockholders generally and that create
potential conflicts of interest.
The newly-constituted board of Acquisition, Inc. has taken
action to change the officers and directors of some of our
subsidiaries. On May 10, 2011, the board of Acquisition
Inc. voted to remove Michael Galvis as president and Kenneth
Conte as chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary of
both Oaks and FDF and replace them with Mike Francis as
president and Jude Gregory as chief financial officer, treasurer
and secretary. Also on May 10, 2011, the board of
Acquisition Inc. voted to remove all directors and managers, as
applicable, of Oaks and FDF, and replace them with
Messrs. Moulton, Drechsler, Galvis, Schickel and Conte as
the sole directors and managers, as applicable.
Mr. Schickel served in this capacity until May 20,
2011, when WayPoint replaced Mr. Schickel with Mr. Lee
Buchwald.
As holder of our one outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, and because of the continued breaches under the
WayPoint Purchase Agreement, WayPoint has the right to increase
size of our board of directors up to that number that would give
WayPoint the right to appoint a majority of our board, and to
designate such additional directors. While initially WayPoint
appointed two directors to our board, they subsequently
resigned. As of the date of this prospectus, WayPoint has no
designees serving on our board of directors.
Our
independent auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to
continue our activities as a going concern, which may hinder our
ability to obtain future financing.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon us resolving
the defaults under our loan agreements, raising additional
financial support, and maintaining profitable operations. The
issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a
substantial dilution in the equity interests of our current
stockholders. If we should fail to continue as a going concern,
you may lose all or a part of the value of your entire
investment in us.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current
operating expenses and the defaults under our loan agreements
noted above, in their report on the annual financial statements
for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, our
independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding
the doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our
attaining and maintaining profitable operations, resolving the
defaults under certain of our loan agreements, and raising
additional capital. The financial statements do not include any
adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of
recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should our company
discontinue operations.
Our
indebtedness and other payment obligations could restrict our
operations and make us more vulnerable to adverse economic
conditions.
We now have, and expect to continue to have, a significant
amount of indebtedness. Our outstanding indebtedness consists of
a senior credit facility, the Debentures, and dividends payable
on our Series A Preferred Stock and on the Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of Acquisition Inc.,
which are described in Liquidity and Capital
Resources on page 34 of this prospectus. As
of June 30, 2011, we owed $17,939,026 under our senior
credit facility, $1,935,000 under the Debentures and dividends
of $1,218,485 on the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock of Acquisition Inc. and $223,245 on our Series A
Preferred
3
Stock. Our current and future indebtedness could have important
consequences. For example, those levels of indebtedness could:
|
|
|
|
|
impair our ability to make investments and obtain additional
financing for working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions or other general corporate purposes;
|
|
|
|
|
|
limit our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of
our business because we must dedicate a substantial portion of
these funds to make principal and interest payments on our
indebtedness; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business, our
industry or the economy in general as a substantial portion of
our operating cash flow will be required to make principal and
interest payments.
|
We also have other put or redemption obligations that may
restrict the funds that we can devote to operations. The holder
of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock has the
right to redeem such shares after the third anniversary of
issuance thereof at a redemption price equal to 104% of the
Stated Amount, and at a redemption price equal to 103% of the
Stated Amount 48 months after the date of issuance thereof
to May 23, 2016, together, in either case, with all
dividends, declared and unpaid thereon through the redemption
date.
After the earliest to occur of (a) a Change of Control,
(b) an occurrence of a Default that remains uncured for
seventy-five days; provided, however, that payment to the
holders of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock
of all amounts owing to them as a result of a Default shall be
considered a cure of a Default, and (c) May 23, 2016,
Acquisition Inc. is required to redeem the Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock at 100% of the Stated Amount,
together with all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon as of the
redemption date.
We
need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or
other equity securities could result in additional dilution to
our stockholders.
We cannot be certain that our existing sources of cash will be
adequate to meet our liquidity requirements including cash
requirements that may be due under either the Senior Facility,
our Preferred Stock, or the WayPoint Purchase Agreement.
However, management has implemented plans to improve liquidity
through slowing or stopping certain planned capital
expenditures, through the sale of selected assets deemed
unnecessary to our business, and improvements to results from
operations. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our
cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt
securities or obtain an additional credit facility. We cannot
assure you that any additional equity sales or financing will be
available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
The sale of additional equity securities could result in
additional dilution to our stockholders and result in a
significant reduction of your percentage interest in us. The
incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased
debt service obligations and could result in additional
operating and financing covenants that would further restrict
our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be
successful with our plans or that our results of operations will
materially improve in either the short-term or long-term and
accordingly, we may be unable to meet our obligations as they
become due.
Our
business depends on domestic spending by the oil and gas
industry, and this spending and our business have been, and may
continue to be, adversely affected by industry and financial
market conditions that are beyond our control.
We depend on our customers willingness to make operating
and capital expenditures to explore for, develop and produce oil
and gas in the United States. Customers expectations of
lower market prices for oil and gas, as well as the availability
of capital for operating and capital expenditures, may cause
them to curtail spending, thereby reducing demand for our
services and equipment.
Industry conditions are influenced by numerous factors over
which we have no control, such as the supply of and demand for
oil and gas, domestic and worldwide economic conditions,
political instability in oil and gas producing countries and
merger and divestiture activity among oil and gas producers. The
volatility of the oil and gas industry and the consequent impact
on exploration and production activity could adversely impact
the level of drilling and workover activity by some of our
customers. This reduction may cause a decline in
4
the demand for our services or adversely affect the price of
our services. Reduced discovery rates of new oil and gas
reserves in our market areas also may have a negative long-term
impact on our business, even in an environment of stronger oil
and gas prices, to the extent existing production is not
replaced and the number of producing wells for us to service
declines. In addition, recent market conditions and the
existence of excess equipment have resulted in lower utilization
rates.
The deterioration in the global economic environment since 2008
has caused the oilfield services industry to cycle into a
downturn, and the rate at which it may continue to improve, or
return to former levels, is uncertain. Those adverse changes in
capital markets and declines in prices for oil and gas caused
many oil and gas producers to announce reductions in capital
budgets for future periods. In the last part of 2008, oil and
gas prices declined rapidly, resulting in decreased drilling
activities. During the second half of 2009, oil prices began to
increase and remained relatively stable through the latter half
of 2010 and into 2011, which has resulted in increases in
drilling activities, and have been increasingly expanding in the
oil-driven markets. However, natural gas prices continued to
decline significantly through most of 2009 and remained
depressed throughout 2010 and into 2011, which resulted in
decreased activity in the natural gas-driven markets.
Limitations on the availability of capital, or higher costs of
capital, for financing expenditures have caused and may continue
to cause these and other oil and gas producers to make
additional reductions to capital budgets in the future even if
commodity prices increase from current levels. These cuts in
spending may curtail drilling programs as well as discretionary
spending on well services, which could result in a reduction in
the demand for our services, the rates we can charge and our
utilization. In addition, certain of our customers could become
unable to pay their suppliers, including us. As a result of
these conditions, our customers spending patterns have
become increasingly unpredictable, making it difficult for us to
predict our future operating results. Additionally, any of these
conditions or events could adversely affect our operating
results.
If oil
and gas prices remain volatile, or decline, the demand for our
services could be adversely affected.
The demand for our services is primarily determined by current
and anticipated oil and gas prices and the related general
production spending and level of drilling activity in the areas
in which we have operations. Volatility or weakness in oil and
gas prices (or the perception that oil and gas prices will
decrease) affects the spending patterns of our customers and may
result in the drilling of fewer new wells or lower production
spending on existing wells. This, in turn, could result in lower
demand for our services and may cause lower rates and lower
utilization of our well service equipment. Continued volatility
in oil and gas prices or a reduction in drilling activities
could materially and adversely affect the demand for our
services and our results of operations.
Competition
within the well services industry may adversely affect our
ability to market our services.
The well services industry is highly competitive and fragmented
and includes numerous small companies capable of competing
effectively in our markets on a local basis, as well as several
large companies that possess substantially greater financial and
other resources than we do. Our larger competitors greater
resources could allow those competitors to compete more
effectively than we can. The amount of equipment available
currently exceeds demand, which has resulted in active price
competition. Many contracts are awarded on a bid basis, which
may further increase competition based primarily on price.
We
depend on several significant customers, and a loss of one or
more significant customers could adversely affect our results of
operations.
Our customers consist primarily of major and independent oil and
gas companies. During 2010, our top five customers accounted for
41% of our revenues. The loss of any one of our largest
customers or a sustained decrease in demand by any of such
customers could result in a substantial loss of revenues and
could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations.
5
We may
not be able to grow successfully through future acquisitions or
successfully manage future growth, and we may not be able to
effectively integrate the businesses we do
acquire.
Our business strategy includes growth through the acquisitions
of other businesses. We may not be able to continue to identify
attractive acquisition opportunities or successfully acquire
identified targets. Furthermore, competition for acquisition
opportunities may escalate, increasing our cost of making
further acquisitions or causing us to refrain from making
additional acquisitions. This strategy may require external
financing, which we may not be able to secure at all, or on
favorable conditions, and which are governed by and subject to
restrictive covenants under our existing financial obligations
including with WayPoint and PNC.
In addition, we may not be successful in integrating our current
or future acquisitions into our existing operations, which may
result in unforeseen operational difficulties or diminished
financial performance or require a disproportionate amount of
our managements attention. Even if we are successful in
integrating our current or future acquisitions into our existing
operations, we may not derive the benefits, such as operational
or administrative synergies, that we expected from such
acquisitions, which may result in the commitment of our capital
resources without the expected returns on such capital.
Our
industry has experienced a high rate of employee turnover. Any
difficulty we experience replacing or adding personnel could
adversely affect our business.
We may not be able to find enough skilled labor to meet our
needs, which could limit our growth. Our business activity
historically decreases or increases with the price of oil and
gas. We may have problems finding enough skilled and unskilled
laborers in the future if the demand for our services increases.
If we are not able to increase our service rates sufficiently to
compensate for wage rate increases, we may not be able to hire
and retain the necessary skilled labor to perform our services.
Other factors may also inhibit our ability to find enough
workers to meet our employment needs. Our services require
skilled workers who can perform physically demanding work. As a
result of our industry volatility and the demanding nature of
the work, workers may choose to pursue employment in fields that
offer a more desirable work environment at wage rates that are
competitive with ours. We believe that our success is dependent
upon our ability to continue to employ and retain skilled
technical personnel. Our inability to employ or retain skilled
technical personnel may adversely affect our ability to complete
our ongoing projects or engage new business in the future, which
generally could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our
success depends on key members of our management, the loss of
any of whom could disrupt our business operations.
We depend to a large extent on the services of some of our
executive officers. The loss of the services of Michael K.
Galvis, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Kenneth K.
Conte, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,
and Michael G. Francis, President and Chief Executive Officer of
FDF, Jude Gregory, Chief Financial Officer of FDF, or other key
personnel could disrupt our operations. Although we have entered
into employment agreements with the executives mentioned above,
and certain other executive officers that contain, among other
provisions, non-compete agreements, we may not be able to retain
the executives past the terms of their employment agreements or
enforce the non-compete provisions in the employment agreements.
Our
operations are subject to inherent risks, some of which are
beyond our control. These risks may be self-insured, or may not
be fully covered under our insurance policies.
Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oil and
gas industry, such as, but not limited to, accidents, blowouts,
explosions, craterings, fires and oil spills. These conditions
can cause:
|
|
|
|
|
personal injury or loss of life;
|
|
|
|
|
|
damage to or destruction of property and equipment (including
the collateral securing our indebtedness) and the environment;
|
6
|
|
|
|
|
suspension of our operations; and
|
The occurrence of a significant event or adverse claim in excess
of the insurance coverage that we maintain or that is not
covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. In addition,
claims for loss of oil and gas production and damage to
formations can occur in the well services industry. Litigation
arising from a catastrophic occurrence at a location where our
equipment and services are being used may result in our being
named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting large claims.
We maintain insurance coverage that we believe to be customary
in the industry against these hazards. However, we do not have
insurance against all foreseeable risks, either because
insurance is not available or because of the high premium costs.
As such, not all of our property is insured. We maintain
accruals in our consolidated balance sheets related to
self-insurance retentions by using third-party data and
historical claims history. The occurrence of an event not fully
insured against, or the failure of an insurer to meet its
insurance obligations, could result in substantial losses. In
addition, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in
the future at rates we consider reasonable. Insurance may not be
available to cover any or all of the risks to which we are
subject, or, even if available, it may be inadequate, or
insurance premiums or other costs could rise significantly in
the future so as to make such insurance prohibitively expensive.
It is likely that, in the future our insurance renewals, our
premiums and deductibles will be higher, and certain insurance
coverage either will be unavailable or considerably more
expensive than it has been in the recent past. In addition, our
insurance is subject to coverage limits, and some policies
exclude coverage for damages resulting from environmental
contamination.
We are
subject to federal, state and local regulations regarding issues
of health, safety and protection of the environment. Under these
regulations, we may become liable for penalties, damages or
costs of remediation. Any changes in these laws and government
regulations could increase our costs of doing
business.
Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and
regulations relating to protection of natural resources and the
environment, health and safety, waste management, and
transportation of waste and other materials. Our fluid services
segment includes disposal operations into injection wells that
pose some risks of environmental liability, including leakage
from the wells to surface or subsurface soils, surface water or
groundwater. Liability under these laws and regulations could
result in cancellation of well operations, fines and penalties,
expenditures for remediation, and liability for property damage
and personal injuries. Sanctions for noncompliance with
applicable environmental laws and regulations also may include
assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties,
revocation of permits and issuance of corrective action orders.
RISK
FACTORS RELATING TO AN INVESTMENT IN OUR
SECURITIES
The
WayPoint Warrants possess full anti-dilution provisions, and may
result in a duplication of dilution.
The warrant we issued to WayPoint in connection with the
financing of the FDF Acquisition to purchase up to 35% of the
outstanding shares of our Common Stock (Purchaser
Warrant) provides anti-dilution protection so that
the number of shares that may be purchased pursuant to the
Purchaser Warrant, each at $0.01 per share, shall be equal to
35% of the then outstanding shares of our Common Stock on a
fully-diluted basis, as measured at the time of full exercise of
the Purchaser Warrant. WayPoint also holds an additional warrant
(Control Warrant and collectively with
the Purchaser Warrant, the WayPoint
Warrants) to purchase a sufficient number of
shares of our Common Stock so that, measured at the time of
exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable pursuant to the WayPoint Warrants represents 51% of our
outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis. The exercise
price of both WayPoint Warrants is $0.01 per share. The Control
Warrant is exercisable only if certain default conditions exist.
Because of these anti-dilution provisions, each time we issue
additional shares of its Common Stock, for whatever reason, the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
WayPoint Warrants automatically increases. In the event one or
both of the WayPoint Warrants is exercised, it will
substantially dilute the ownership
7
interests of all other holders of our Common Stock, from both a
voting and economic perspective. As discussed above, as of the
date of this prospectus, the Control Warrant is exercisable.
The Control Warrant may also become exercisable after the
Purchaser Warrant has been fully exercised and WayPoint has
disposed of all shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to that
warrant. Based on the current number of shares outstanding, the
Purchaser Warrant could be exercised for approximately
14,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Assuming that the
Control Warrant becomes exercisable and all of the shares
acquired upon exercise of the Purchaser Warrant are disposed of
by the holder before the Control Warrant is exercised, the
Control Warrant would be exercisable for 51% of our Common
Stock, which currently would result in the issuance of
approximately an additional 41,600,000 shares of Common
Stock to WayPoint and result in the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding exceeding 80,000,000 shares. Thus,
the Purchaser Warrant and the Control Warrant could result in
duplicative dilution.
Exercise
of the WayPoint Control Warrant would result in a change in
control.
The Control Warrant becomes exercisable at an exercise price of
$0.01 per share, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the
occurrence of a Default (defined below) that remains uncured for
seventy-five days; provided, that payment to the holders of
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of our
subsidiary Acquisition Inc. of all amounts owing to them as a
result of a Default shall be considered a cure of a Default;
(ii) the date on which a Change of Control (defined below)
occurs, if Acquisition Inc. is not able to redeem all of the
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock in accordance
with its terms; (iii) seventy-five days after the date on
which the third Default has occurred within a consecutive
twelve-month period; and (iv) May 23, 2016, if
Acquisition Inc. is not able to redeem all of the Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock in accordance with its
terms (the Default Conditions). The
term Default includes 14 categories of
events, which are listed in Section 11.1 of the WayPoint
Purchase Agreement and which list includes, among other events,
(i) the failure of Acquisition Inc. to timely make a
redemption payment to holders of the Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock, (ii) the failure of Acquisition
Inc. to timely make a dividend payment to holders of the Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, (iii) our failure
or the failure of Acquisition Inc. to perform covenants in the
WayPoint Purchase Agreement, (iv) our failure to meet a
fixed-charge coverage ratio, leverage ratio or minimum EBITDA
test in the WayPoint Purchase Agreement; (v) we or any of
our subsidiaries becomes in default on other indebtedness,
individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000; (vi)
we, Acquisition Inc., Francis Oaks, LLC, FDF or any FDF
subsidiary (the Francis Group) becomes
subject to bankruptcy or receivership proceedings, (vii) a
judgment or judgments is entered against is entered against us,
Acquisition Inc. or Francis Group in excess of $1,000,000, and
such judgment is not satisfied; (viii) we, Acquisition Inc.
or Francis Group breaches a representation or warranty in the
WayPoint Purchase Agreement or the documents related thereto;
(ix) a Change of Control occurs; and (x) certain
liabilities in excess of $250,000 arise under ERISA.
Change of Control means (i) a
sale of shares of our stock, Acquisition Inc. or Francis Group,
or a merger involving any of them, as a result of which holders
of the voting capital stock of the applicable entity immediately
prior to such transaction do not hold at least 50% of the voting
power of the applicable entity or the resulting or surviving
entity or the acquiring entity; (ii) a disposition of all
or substantially all of our assets, Acquisition Inc. or Francis
Group; (iii) a voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up by us, Acquisition Inc. or Francis
Group; (iv) either Michael K. Galvis or Michael G. Francis
shall sell at least five percent (5%) of our equity held by them
immediately prior to such sale; (v) Michael K. Galvis
ceases to be our Chief Executive Officer and is not replaced by
a candidate suitable to WayPoint within 30 days or any such
replacement Chief Executive Officer ceases to be our Chief
Executive Officer and is not replaced by a candidate suitable to
WayPoint within 30 days; or (vi) Michael G. Francis
ceases to be the Chief Executive Officer of FDF and is not
replaced by a candidate suitable to WayPoint within 30 days
or any such replacement Chief Executive Officer ceases to be the
Chief Executive Officer of the FDF and is not replaced by a
candidate suitable to WayPoint within 30 days. As stated in
more detail above, certain of the Default Conditions have
occurred, and the Control Warrant is, as of the date of this
prospectus, exercisable.

The
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the
Debentures and Series A Preferred Stock, as well as upon
exercise of outstanding warrants may cause immediate and
substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.
If the market price per share of our Common Stock at the time of
conversion of our Convertible Debentures or Series A
Preferred Stock and exercise of any warrants, options, or any
other convertible securities is in excess of the various
conversion or exercise prices of these derivative securities,
conversion or exercise of these derivative securities would have
a dilutive effect on our Common Stock. As of June 30, 2011,
we had (i) outstanding Convertible Debentures which are
convertible into an aggregate of 1,433,333 shares of our
Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share,
(ii) 6,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
which are convertible into an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares
of our Common Stock at $1.00 per share, (iii) warrants to
purchase 2,230,000 shares of our Common Stock at an
exercise price of $2.00 per share of our Common Stock and
(iv) outstanding 9% convertible debentures issued by NYTEX
Petroleum which are convertible into an aggregate
601,500 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of
$2.00 per share (the NYTEX Petroleum Convertible
Debentures). Further, any additional financing
that we secure may require the granting of rights, preferences
or privileges senior to those of our Common Stock, which may
result in additional dilution of the existing ownership
interests of our Common Stockholders.
We are
required to register various securities with the SEC under
agreements with certain of our security holders and may be
subject to certain monetary penalties if we do not do
so.
This prospectus relates to our obligation to file a registration
statement with the SEC registering for sale
9,663,333 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of (i) the Debentures and (ii) Series A Preferred
Stock, and upon exercise of both the Debenture Warrants and
Series A Warrants. Pursuant to a registration rights
agreement with the holders of the securities, we were required
to file the registration statement on or before 60 days of
the final closing of the Series A Preferred Stock offering,
which was April 11, 2011. The holders of Series A
Preferred Stock may demand a penalty equal to two percent of the
amount of their investment, or $120,000, for each month after
that date that the registration statement was not filed. We
filed a
Form S-1
registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, on
April 15, 2011. Additionally, since the SEC did not declare
the registration statement effective within 120 days of the
final closing of the Series A Preferred Stock offering,
which was June 10, 2011, we face an additional penalty if
demanded by the holders equal to two percent of the amount of
their investment, or $120,000, for each month while not
effective.
After this registration statement becomes effective, we may be
required to file a registration statement with the SEC
registering for sale those shares of Common Stock held by Diana
Francis that were issued to her in the FDF Acquisition. If such
shares held by Diana Francis are eligible to be resold in
reliance on Rule 144 of the Act, our registration
requirements with respect to her shares will lapse.
After November 23, 2011, but only upon request, we are
obligated to file a registration statement with the SEC
registering for sale the shares of Common Stock that may be
issued upon exercise of the WayPoint Warrants. After such time,
WayPoint is also entitled to piggyback registration rights, if
we register other securities with the SEC. If we are required to
file a registration statement registering securities for resale
by WayPoint and the registration statement is not timely filed,
does not become effective within a certain time period, or
ceases to be available for sales thereunder for certain time
periods, then we must pay WayPoint an amount in cash equal to
one percent (1%) of the value of WayPoints securities on
the date of such event and each monthly anniversary thereof
until cured, subject to a cap of ten percent (10%) of the value
of WayPoints registrable securities.
The
terms of our indebtedness to PNC and our transaction with
WayPoint restrict our operations.
We need consent from PNC and WayPoint to engage in certain
activities, including, but not limited to, incurring further
indebtedness, granting any liens on our assets, disposing of our
assets, entering into mergers, or conducting acquisitions. If
appropriate consents cannot be obtained from PNC and WayPoint,
we may not be able to pursue capital-raising transactions or
acquisitions that we believe are in our best interests and those
of our stockholders.
9
We are
subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities
laws, compliance with which is expensive.
We are a public reporting company in the U.S. and,
accordingly, subject to the information and reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securities
laws, and the compliance obligations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly
reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and
furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause our
expenses to be higher than they would be if we were a privately
held company.
Our
compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning
internal controls will be time consuming, difficult, and
costly.
As a reporting company, it will be time consuming, difficult and
costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and
reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will
need to hire additional financial reporting, internal control,
and other finance staff in order to develop and implement
appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we
are unable to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Acts
requirements regarding internal controls, we may not be able to
obtain the independent accountant certifications that
Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly traded companies to obtain.
If we
fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, our
ability to provide accurate financial statements and comply with
the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could be impaired,
which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to
decrease substantially.
We have committed limited personnel and resources to the
development of the external reporting and compliance obligations
that are required of a public company. We have taken measures to
address and improve our financial reporting and compliance
capabilities and we are in the process of instituting changes to
satisfy our obligations in connection with being a public
company, when and as such requirements become applicable to us.
We plan to obtain additional financial and accounting resources
to support and enhance our ability to meet the requirements of
being a public company. We will need to continue to improve our
financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and
procedures, and documentation thereof. If our financial and
managerial controls, reporting systems, or procedures fail, we
may not be able to provide accurate financial statements on a
timely basis or comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as it applies
to us. Any failure of our internal controls or our ability to
provide accurate financial statements could cause the trading
price of our Common Stock to decline substantially.
Our
stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our
stockholders.
Domestic and international stock markets often experience
significant price and volume fluctuations especially in times of
economic uncertainty. In particular, the market prices of
companies quoted on the
Over-The-Counter
Bulletin Board, where our shares of Common Stock are
quoted, generally have been very volatile and have experienced
sharp share-price and trading-volume changes. The public trading
price of our Common Stock is likely to be volatile and could
fluctuate widely in response to the following factors, some of
which are beyond our control:
|
|
|
|
|
variations in our operating results;
|
|
|
|
|
|
changes in expectations of our future financial performance,
including financial estimates by securities analysts and
investors;
|
|
|
|
|
|
changes in operating and stock price performance of other
companies in our industry;
|
|
|
|
|
|
WayPoints exercise of the Purchase Warrant or the Control
Warrant;
|
|
|
|
|
|
additions or departures of key personnel;
|
|
|
|
|
|
future sales of our Common Stock; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
general economic and political conditions.
|
10
The market price for our Common Stock may be particularly
volatile given our status as a smaller reporting company with a
presumably small and thinly-traded float. You may be
unable to sell your Common Stock at or above your purchase price
if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The market for our Common Stock may be characterized by
significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers,
and we expect that our share price will be more volatile than a
seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The potential
volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of
factors. As noted above, our Common Stock may be sporadically
and/or
thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the
trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our
stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those
shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for
example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number
of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate
demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer that could better
absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price.
Our
Common Stock has only recently begun trading. We expect our
Common Stock to be thinly-traded. You may be unable to sell at
or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to
raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate such
shares.
We cannot predict the extent to which an active public trading
market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained due to
a number of factors, including the fact that we are a smaller
reporting company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts,
stock brokers, institutional investors, and others in the
investment community that generate or influence sales volume.
Even if we come to the attention of such persons, they tend to
be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven
company as currently constituted such as ours or purchase or
recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we
became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be
periods of several days or more when trading activity in our
Common Stock is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a
seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading
activity that will generally support continuous sales without an
adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance
that a broader or more active public trading market for our
Common Stock will develop or be sustained, or that current
trading levels will be sustained.
Our
Common Stock may be subject to penny stock rules, which may make
it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their Common
Stock.
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in
penny stocks are regulated by certain penny stock
rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than
$5.00 per share. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer,
prior to a purchase or sale of a penny stock not otherwise
exempt from the rules, to deliver to the customer a standardized
risk disclosure document that provides information about penny
stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The
broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid
and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of
the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and
monthly account statements showing the market value of each
penny stock held in the customers account. In addition,
the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a
transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special
written determination that the penny stock is a suitable
investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers
written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure
requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of
trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that
becomes subject to the penny stock rules.
We do
not anticipate paying any dividends.
We presently do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends on
any of our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The payment
of dividends on our Common Stock, if any, would be contingent
upon our revenues, earnings, capital requirements, and our
general financial condition. We will pay dividends on our Common
Stock only if and when declared by our board of directors. The
ability of our board of directors to declare a dividend is
subject to restrictions imposed by Delaware law and under our
financing arrangements, including our Series A and
Series B Preferred Stock. Additionally, we may not pay a
dividend on our Common Stock until we are current in dividends
payable on our Series A Preferred Stock, as discussed more
11
fully above under the Risk Factor, Our indebtedness
and other payment obligations could restrict our operations and
make us more vulnerable to adverse economic
conditions. In determining whether to declare
dividends, our board of directors will consider these
restrictions as well as our financial condition, results of
operations, working capital requirements, future prospects and
other factors it considers relevant.
We
have a substantial number of authorized common shares available
for future issuance that could cause dilution of our
stockholders interest and adversely impact the rights of
holders of our Common Stock.
We have a total of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock
authorized for issuance. As of June 30, 2011, we had
173,913,671 shares of Common Stock available for issuance.
We have reserved 1,433,333 shares for conversion of our
Debentures, 6,000,000 shares for conversion of our
Series A Preferred Stock and 2,230,000 shares for
issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants held by the
Selling Security Holders. We have also reserved
400,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with stock
grants to our employees and those of FDF. Additionally, our
wholly-owned subsidiary NYTEX Petroleum, has issued debentures
convertible into 601,500 shares of our Common Stock if
fully converted. We may seek financing that could result in the
issuance of additional shares of our capital stock
and/or
rights to acquire additional shares of our capital stock. We may
also make acquisitions that result in issuances of additional
shares of our capital stock. Furthermore, the book value per
share of our Common Stock may be reduced.
The addition of a substantial number of shares of our Common
Stock into the market or by the registration of any of our other
securities under the Securities Act may significantly and
negatively affect the prevailing market price for our Common
Stock. The future sales of shares of our Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and options may have a
depressive effect on the market price of our Common Stock, as
such warrants and options are likely to be exercised only at a
time when the price of our Common Stock is greater than the
exercise price.
OTHER
RISK FACTORS
Reserve
data of our oil and gas operations are estimates based on
assumptions that may be inaccurate.
There are uncertainties inherent in estimating natural gas and
oil reserves and their estimated value, including many factors
beyond our control as producer. Reservoir engineering is a
subjective and inexact process of estimating underground
accumulations of natural gas and oil that cannot be measured in
an exact manner and is based on assumptions that may vary
considerably from actual results.
Accordingly, reserve estimates and actual production, revenue
and expenditures likely will vary, possibly materially, from
estimates. Additionally, there recently has been increased
debate and disagreement over the classification of reserves,
with particular focus on proved undeveloped reserves. Changes in
interpretations as to classification standards or disagreements
with our interpretations could cause us to write down these
reserves.
The extent to which we can benefit from successful acquisition
and development activities or acquire profitable oil and natural
gas producing properties with development potential is highly
dependent on the level of success in finding or acquiring
reserves.
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in all parts of this document
relate to future events, including, but not limited to, any and
all statements regarding future operations, financial results,
business plans and cash needs and other statements that are not
historical facts are forward looking statements. When used in
this document, the words anticipate,
budgeted, planned, targeted,
potential, estimate, expect,
may, project, believe and
similar expressions are intended to be among the statements that
identify forward looking statements. Such statements involve
known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, but not
limited to, those relating to the current economic downturn and
credit crisis, the volatility of natural gas and oil prices, our
dependence on our key personnel, factors that affect our ability
to manage our growth
12
and achieve our business strategy, technological changes,
our significant capital requirements, the potential impact of
government regulations, adverse regulatory determinations,
litigation, competition, business and equipment acquisition
risks, availability of equipment, weather, availability of
financing, financial condition of our industry partners, ability
to obtain permits and other factors detailed herein. Some of the
factors that could cause actual results to differ from those
expressed or implied in forward-looking statements are described
under Risk Factors and in other sections of this
prospectus. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated. All
subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements
attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly
qualified in their entirety by reference to these risks and
uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement
speaks only as of the date of the particular statement and we
undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statement.
USE OF
PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the
shares of Common Stock offered under this prospectus by the
Selling Security Holders. Rather, the Selling Security Holders
will receive those proceeds directly.
We will, however, receive the exercise price with respect to
warrants to purchase 2,230,000 shares of our Common Stock,
when and if exercised by the Selling Security Holders who hold
them. If all such warrants are exercised, we estimate our net
proceeds would be approximately $4,460,000, which we expect to
use for general working capital purposes, unless needed to
resolve any default or other obligations under our senior debt
facility and WayPoint Purchase Agreement.
DETERMINATION
OF OFFERING PRICE
Our Common Stock trades on the OTCQB under the symbol NYTE. The
Selling Security Holders may sell their shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and Series A
Preferred Stock or the exercise of the Debenture Warrants or the
Series A Warrants at the prevailing market prices at the
time of the sale or at privately negotiated prices. See
Plan of Distribution on page 57
of this prospectus.
The conversion prices of the Debentures and Series A
Preferred Stock and the exercise prices of the Debenture
Warrants and Series A Warrants were determined by our board
of directors following negotiations with the holders thereof and
may not bear any relationship to our past, current or future
operations, cash flows, net income, current financial condition,
the book value of our assets or any other established criteria
for value. As a result, the conversion and exercise prices
thereof, respectively, should not be considered as reflective of
the actual value of our Common Stock.
MARKET
PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Market
Information
Our Common Stock began trading on April 1, 2011 on the
OTCQB under the symbol NYTE. As of July 12, 2011, the
closing price of our Common Stock was $5.50 per share.
Holders
As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately
26,379,666 shares of Common Stock outstanding held by a
total of approximately 290 stockholders of record.
Warrants,
Convertible Debenture Shares and Restricted Stock
Grants
June 30, 2011, we were committed to issue, and had reserved
for issuance, a total of 13,823,535 shares of our Common Stock
on exercise of all of our outstanding derivative securities,
including 3,663,000 shares of
13
Common Stock being registered for sale by the Selling Security
Holders pursuant to the registration statement to which this
prospectus relates. However, if all of our derivative
securities, including WayPoints Purchase Warrant and
Control Warrant, were exercised or converted, we would have
55,518,499 shares of Common Stock outstanding, on a fully
diluted basis. Furthermore, there are 400,000 shares of our
Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to restricted stock
grants to our employees and employees of FDF.
Rule 144 Shares
Under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, a person who has
beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock for at
least six months is entitled to sell their securities provided
that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our
affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three
months preceding the sale and (ii) we have been subject to
the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least
three months before the sale.
Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our
Common Stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates

BUSINESS
We were originally incorporated in Delaware in 1988 as Kismet,
Inc., and while our name changed to Clear Sight Holdings, Inc.
on October 16, 2006, we conducted no operations until
October 31, 2008. At that time our name changed to NYTEX
Energy Holdings, Inc. and our newly-formed wholly-owned
subsidiary, NYTEX Petroleum, acquired the business and
operations of NYTEX Petroleum, LLC, a Texas limited liability
company (NYTEX Petroleum LLC). In this transaction,
all membership units of the NYTEX Petroleum LLC were transferred
to NYTEX Petroleum in exchange for shares of our Common Stock.
NYTEX Petroleum LLC was originally formed on March 21,
2006, and focused on fee-based administration and management
services related to oil and gas properties, while also engaging
in the acquisition, promotion of and participation in the
drilling of crude oil and natural gas wells. NYTEX Petroleum
will continue its fee-based energy services for existing and
future energy funds, with the planned growth focusing primarily
on exploration and production.
From October 2008 until our FDF acquisition, our operations were
effected through NYTEX Petroleum, and, to a lesser extent,
Supreme Vacuum. On September 8, 2010, we completed the
disposition of our noncontrolling interest in Supreme Vacuum
Services, Inc., an oilfield fluid service company specializing
in drilling and production fluids transportation, sales, and
storage.
On November 23, 2010, through our newly-formed and
wholly-owned subsidiary, Acquisition Inc., we acquired 100% of
the membership interests of Francis Oaks, LLC (Oaks)
and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, FDF (together with
Oaks, the Francis Group). The Francis Group has no
other assets or operations other than FDF. See Item 7,
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations Overview
Oilfield Services on page 29 of this prospectus for further
discussion of the acquisition of FDF.

Oil
and Gas NYTEX Petroleum
Since 2006, NYTEX Petroleum has engaged in fee-based
administrative and management services related to crude oil and
natural gas properties. It also engaged in the acquisition,
generation, promotion, development, exploration and
participation in the drilling and production of oil and gas
properties directly, through affiliations with independent
operating partners and by acquiring participations in properties
that are potential resources for the production of oil and gas.
Beginning in 2009, we became more engaged in the acquisition,
generation and participation in drilling prospects and
production acquisitions. Our growth initiative focuses primarily
on early stage acquisition, geological and engineering
high-grading and sale of leasehold acreage and producing oil and
gas wells within minor oil and gas resource plays. A minor oil
and gas resource play is defined herein as an oil
and/or gas
reservoir, other than the known major shale plays such as the
Barnett, Haynesville, Eagle Ford, Bakken, Marcellus,
Fayetteville and Woodford. We believe these minor plays exist
and can be developed uniformly over an expansive geographical
area with a high rate of success due to the recent advancements
in horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracturing technologies.
Our oil and gas assets consist of non-operated working interests
in oil and gas properties and a 73% operated working interest in
the Panhandle Field consisting of 320 acres with six wells
producing approximately 23 barrels of oil equivalent per
day from the Red Cave and Panhandle Lime formations at between
2,200 and 3,400 depths.
Other
Business Activities NYTEX Petroleum
On May 19, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum entered into an Oil
Containment Rental Agreement (Simpson
Agreement) with Simpson Environmental Resources,
Inc. (Simpson) to rent segments of oil
containment boom (Boom) to Simpson to
be used in the Gulf of Mexico waters to contain the BP Global
oil spill under Simpsons master service or rental
agreements with general contractors of BP Global, state
governments or other entities. NYTEX Petroleum also entered into
binding agreements with manufacturers representatives to
deliver Boom from Boom manufacturing plants to Simpson in
mutually agreed amount of linear footages, at
20
mutually agreed delivery locations and at mutually agreed time
periods. The terms of the agreement between NYTEX Petroleum and
Simpson required Simpson to pay NYTEX Petroleum 100% of the
rental payment amounts Simpson collected from the contractors
for the Boom until such point and time that NYTEX Petroleum
received 100% of its cost of the delivered Boom from said rental
payments, referred to as payout. After payout, the rental
payment income was split 50% to Simpson and 50% to NYTEX
Petroleum for the remaining period that the Boom was in service
under such rental contracts.
To fund the purchases of Boom, NYTEX Petroleum entered into
agreements with outside participants (Participants
Agreements) to purchase and rent Boom pursuant to
the terms of the Simpson Agreement. The Participants Agreements
provided for the participants to receive 100% of the rental
payments remitted by Simpson to NYTEX Petroleum until such time
that the participant recovered 100% of their cost of the
delivered Boom (referred to as Participant
Payout). After Participant Payout was achieved,
subsequent payments received by Simpson and remitted to NYTEX
Petroleum were split as follows: 60% to the participant, 20% to
NYTEX Petroleum, and 20% to DMCG, Inc., who brought the project,
Simpson and Boom manufacturers representatives to NYTEX
Petroleum. We realized administration fee revenue of $486,291
from the oil containment boom activities for the year ended
December 31, 2010.
Supreme
Vacuum
From August 2008 to September 2010, through our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Supreme Oilfield, we had a noncontrolling interest
in Supreme Vacuum. Supreme Vacuums fleet of vacuum pump
installed tank trucks and trailer mounted tanks provided
on-site
removal of salt water and other fluids that are generated as a
by-product of normal drilling operations during the post
fracture stimulation flowback operations and as a by-product of
oil and gas production and their removal to state-approved
disposal locations. It also provided fluids such as fresh and
salt water for downhole drilling and workover operations as well
as facilities for onsite fluid storage and then removal of the
spent fluids to state-approved disposal facilities.
In June 2009, Supreme Vacuum completed construction of its mud
reconditioning facility with sales of reconditioned drilling mud
commencing shortly thereafter. The facilitys feed stock of
used drilling mud is collected by Supreme Vacuum by either
getting paid to haul off used drilling mud from drillsites after
wells are drilled, or sometimes hauls off used drilling mud at
no cost and delivering the mud to the facilitys holding
tanks. As oil and gas operators or drilling contractors request
reconditioned drilling mud at various mud weights (viscosities),
Supreme Vacuum prepared the requested amounts of reconditioned
mud at the requested weights, by adding more dry mud to the
mixtures, and then delivering to the customer in its tank trucks.
In September 2010, we disposed of our noncontrolling interest in
Supreme Vacuum.

Business Data
FDF
Locations
FDFs 21 facilities are specifically located in Ada,
Clinton, and Sallisaw, Oklahoma; Alice, Jefferson, Odessa,
Kermit, and Victoria, Texas; Intracoastal City, Berwick,
Fourchon, Lake Charles, Cameron, Coushatta, Shreveport, and
Crowley, Louisiana; Fort Smith, Arkansas; Rock Springs,
Wyoming; and Plaza, North Dakota.
Competitive
Edge
FDF is the oldest continuously operating drilling fluids company
on the Gulf Coast. We believe FDF employees have the longest
average tenure of any Gulf Coast fluids company and are
empowered to satisfy our customers. We believe that our growth
and long-term success would not have been possible without the
commitment and hard work of our people. Many of our core
processes are supported by personnel that have demonstrated
their loyalty to our company over the years and have contributed
their energy, ideas and their enthusiasm for our work. We
believe that this allegiance and dedication are a source of our
competitive edge and the foundation for our future.
Our fleet size is one of the largest within the transportation
segment of the oilfield services industry we operate in. When
our fleet size is combined with our growing amount of warehouse
and storage capacity,
21
transloading facilities, and rail spurs located in or
deliverable to the major shale plays, we believe we possess a
competitive edge for the inland distribution of proppant
material, cement, barite, and flyash.
Our
state-of-the-art
equipment assists us in maintaining highly-qualified and
motivated employees to facilitate superior customer service. We
believe we are the industry pacesetter in providing innovative
environmental solutions. Based on storage capacity, our liquid
mud storage program is a leader in the Gulf Coast with
150,000 barrels of capacity. We also utilize the latest
communication technology to provide our customers with timely
and efficient logistical support.
Environmental
Regulations
Our operations routinely involve the storage, handling,
transport and disposal of bulk waste materials, some of which
contain oil, contaminants and other regulated substances.
Various environmental laws and regulations require prevention,
and when necessary, cleanup, of spills and leaks of such
materials, and some of our operations must obtain permits that
limit the discharge of materials. Failure to comply with such
environmental requirements or permits may result in fines and
penalties, remediation orders and revocation of permits.
Seasonality
Weather and natural phenomena can temporarily affect the
performance of our services, but we believe the widespread
geographical locations of our operations serve to mitigate those
effects. Examples of how weather can impact our business include
the severity and duration of the winter in North America, which
can have a significant impact on natural gas storage levels and
drilling activity for natural gas, and hurricanes, which can
disrupt our coastal and offshore operations in the Gulf of
Mexico.
Government
Regulations
Our operations are subject to various federal, state and local
laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety and the
environment. We cannot predict the level of enforcement of
existing laws or regulations or how such laws and regulations
may be interpreted by enforcement agencies or court rulings in
the future. We also cannot predict whether additional laws and
regulations affecting our business will be adopted, or the
effect such changes might have on us, our financial condition or
our business.
Competition
and Other External Factors
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive.
Competition is influenced by such factors as price, capacity,
and reputation and experience of the service provider. We
believe that an important competitive factor in establishing and
maintaining long-term customer relationships is having an
experienced, skilled and well-trained work force. We devote
substantial resources toward employee safety and training
programs. We believe many of our larger customers place
increased emphasis on the safety, performance and quality of the
crews, equipment and services provided by their service
providers. Although we believe customers consider all of these
factors, price is often the primary factor in determining which
service provider is awarded the work. However, in numerous
instances, we secure and maintain work for large customers for
which efficiency, safety, technology, size of fleet and
availability of other services are of equal importance to price.
The demand for our products and services fluctuates, primarily
in relation to the price (or anticipated price) of oil and gas,
which, in turn, is driven by the supply of, and demand for, oil
and gas. Generally, as supply of those commodities decreases and
demand increases, demand for our products and services increase
as oil and gas producers attempt to maximize the productivity of
their wells in a higher priced environment. However, in a lower
oil and gas price environment, demand for our products and
services generally decreases as oil and natural gas producers
decrease their activity. In particular, the demand for new or
existing field drilling and completion work is driven by
available investment capital for such work.
22
The level of our revenues, earnings and cash flows are
substantially dependent upon, and affected by, the level of
U.S. oil and gas exploration and development, as well as
the equipment capacity in any particular region.
Raw
materials
Raw materials that are essential to our business are generally
readily available. We purchase a wide variety of raw materials,
parts, and components that are made by other manufacturers and
suppliers for our use. We are not dependent on any single source
of supply for those parts, supplies, or materials.
Customers
Our customers include major international oilfield service
companies, major oil companies, independent oil and gas
production companies, frac sand suppliers, ceramic proppant
manufacturers, and proppant retailers. Of our consolidated
revenues during the year ended December 31, 2010, BJ
Services accounted for approximately 14% of our revenues.
Employees
As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately
450 employees within our Oilfield Services business and ten
employees between our Oil and Gas business and at the corporate
holding company level. Our employees are not represented by a
labor union and are not covered by collective bargaining
agreements.

This property is owned by Santrol Proppants, an unrelated party,
through we manage it on their behalf. |
Our interests in oil and natural gas properties are located in
Texas. See Oil and Natural Gas
Reserves on page 26 below for additional
discussion.
We own our administrative offices in Crowley, Louisiana, subject
to a mortgage on them in favor of PNC, as well as the majority
of our other facilities. We also lease a number of facilities,
and we do not believe that any one of the leased facilities is
individually material to our operations. We believe that our
existing facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our needs.
Reserve
Rule Changes
During 2009, the SEC issued its final rule on the modernization
of oil and gas reporting (the Reserve
Ruling) and the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (the FASB) issued Accounting
Standards Update
No. 2010-03
(ASU
2010-03)
Extractive Industries Oil and Gas, which
aligns the estimation and disclosure requirements of FASB
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932 with the Reserve
Ruling. The Reserve Ruling and ASU
2010-03 are
effective for Annual Reports on
Form 10-K
for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. The
key provisions of the Reserve Ruling and ASU
2010-03 are
as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Expanding the definition of oil- and gas-producing activities to
include the extraction of saleable hydrocarbons, in the solid,
liquid or gaseous state, from oil sands, coalbeds, or other
nonrenewable natural resources that are intended to be upgraded
into synthetic oil or gas, and activities undertaken with a view
to such extraction;
|
|
|
|
Amending the definition of proved oil and gas reserves to
require the use of an average of the
first-day-of-the-month
commodity prices during the
12-month
period ending on the balance sheet date rather than the
period-end commodity prices;
|
|
|
|
Adding to and amending other definitions used in estimating
proved oil and gas reserves, such as reliable
technology and reasonable certainty;
|
|
|
|
Broadening the types of technology that a reporter may use to
establish reserves estimates and categories; and
|
|
|
|
Changing disclosure requirements and providing formats for
tabular reserve disclosures.

The reserve data, present value, and engineering report with
respect to our proved developed producing oil and gas reserves
as of December 31, 2010 was prepared by a third party
petroleum consulting firm, LaRoche Petroleum Consultants, Ltd.,
who meets the requirements regarding qualifications,
independence, objectivity, and confidentiality set forth in the
Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and
Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum
Engineers. We did not perform any recompletions to place proved
developed non-producing (PDnP)
reserves it reported as of December 31, 2009 into
production during 2010. After performing a review of
recompletions and new drills in the area surrounding our PDnP
reserves and finding no new data to make its 2009 PDnP reserve
calculations invalid, the 2009 PDnP reserve volumes were updated
with the 2010 SEC pricing and revised differentials as provided
by LaRoche Petroleum Consultants were used to calculate the PDnP
reserves as of December 31, 2010.
The PDnP reserves as of December 31, 2009 were derived from
an in-house reserve study by Jason Lacewell, a petroleum
engineer, who at the time was NYTEX Petroleums Vice
President of Exploration and Production. Mr. Lacewell has
over 15 years of experience in the oil and gas industry.
Mr. Lacewell began his oil and gas career in 1995 when he
was employed by Marathon Oil where he worked in drilling,
production and reservoir engineering. Mr. Lacewell has a
Masters Degree in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M
University, a Masters Degree in Environmental Science from North
Texas University and undergraduate degrees in Biology and
Chemistry. Mr. Lacewell has direct and ongoing operational
and prospect development experience in the following reservoir
types of producing basins: Bakkan Shale, Barnett Shale,
Haynesville Shale, Woodford Shale, Coalbed-Methane Plays,
Permian Basin, continental and offshore Gulf of Mexico, and
others. Mr. Lacewell, responsible for preparing the reserve
estimates, meets the requirements regarding qualifications,
objectivity and confidentiality set forth in the Standards
Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas
Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum
Engineers.
26
Mr. Lacewell has no equity ownership in any our oil and gas
properties, nor does he receive any compensation based on the
volume of reserves that he projects in his reservoir studies.
The Panhandle Field Producing Property containing the PDnP
reserves consists of ten producing wells on 328 acres in
Moore and Hutchinson counties in the Texas Panhandle. Effective
May 1, 2010, we sold our entire interest in the Panhandle
Field Producing Property. For further information, see
Legal Proceedings on page 58. Prior to
May 1, 2011, we held a 73% working interest and we were the
operator of the producing oil and gas leaseholds. The PDnP
reserves are based on the ten existing wells being
refraced in the Red Cave formation with seven successes
and three dry holes. Initial production used in the PDnP reserve
study for each of the successful wells was estimated at 16.67
bopd and 20 mcfd with total cumulative production per successful
well, net to us, estimated to be 11,820 barrels oil and
21,190 mcf gas. In October 2009, NYTEX Petroleum successfully
performed one modern style refrac in the Red Cave formation on
an existing well which has commercially produced continuously
since such time.
The PV-10
value was prepared using constant prices as of the calculation
date, discounted at 10% per annum on a pretax basis, and is not
intended to represent the current market value of the estimated
oil and natural gas reserves owned by NYTEX Petroleum. For
further information concerning the present value of future net
revenues from these proved reserves, see
Supplemental Disclosure of Oil & Gas
Operations to the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements beginning on page F-58.
Management maintains internal controls designed to provide
reasonable assurance that the estimates of proved reserves are
computed and reported in accordance with the rules and
regulations provided by the SEC. Michael Galvis, our CEO, is
primarily responsible for overseeing the preparation of the
reserve estimates and has over 26 years of experience in
the oil and gas industry. Numerous uncertainties exist in
estimating quantities of proved reserves. Reserve estimates are
imprecise and subjective and may change at any time as
additional information becomes available. Furthermore, estimates
of oil and gas reserves are projections based on engineering
data. There are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of
this data as well as the projection of future rates of
production. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function
of the quality of available data and of engineering and
geological interpretation and judgment.
We believe NYTEX Petroleum has taken all necessary steps to
fully comply with
Rule 4-10(a)
of
Regulation S-X
for oil and gas reserves.
The following tables set forth our estimated net proved oil and
natural gas reserves and the
PV-10 value
of such reserves as of December 31, 2010. Table 1 shows
NYTEXs net proved oil and gas reserves and future
discounted net revenues. This table includes the NYTEX
non-operated properties and the Panhandle Field Producing
Properties. Table 1A shows the same reserves but with a barrel
of oil equivalent calculation (BOE equals 6 Mcf to
1 Bbl).

The PV-10
value as of December 31, 2010 is pre-tax and was determined
utilizing the twelve-month
un-weighted
arithmetic average of the first day of the month price for the
period January through December 2010. Gas prices are
referenced to a Henry Hub (HH) price of $4.38 per MMBtu, as
published in Platts Gas Daily, and are adjusted for energy
content, transportation fees, and regional price differentials.
Oil and NGL prices are referenced to a West Texas Intermediate
(WTI) crude oil price of $75.96 per barrel, as posted by Plains
Marketing, L.P., and are adjusted for gravity, crude quality,
transportation fees, and regional price differentials. These
reference prices are held constant in accordance with SEC
guidelines. The weighted average prices after adjustments over
the life of the properties are $75.15 per barrel for oil, $4.37
per mcf for gas, and $52.66 per barrel for NGL. Management
believes that the presentation of
PV-10 value
may be considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in
Item 10(e) of
Regulation S-K.
Therefore, we have included a reconciliation of the measure to
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure
(standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows in
footnote (2) below). Management believes that the
presentation of
PV-10 value
provides useful information to investors because it is widely
used by professional analysts and sophisticated investors in
evaluating oil and gas companies. Because many factors that are
unique to each individual company may impact the amount of
future income taxes to be paid, the use of the pre-tax measure
provides greater comparability when evaluating companies. It is
relevant and useful to investors for evaluating the relative
monetary significance of NYTEX Petroleums oil and natural
gas properties. Further, investors may utilize the measure as a
basis for comparison of the relative size and value of NYTEX
Petroleums reserves to other companies. Management also
uses this pre-tax measure when assessing the potential return on
investment related to its oil and natural gas properties and in
evaluating acquisition candidates. The
PV-10 value
is not a measure of financial or operating performance under
GAAP, nor is it intended to represent the current market value
of the estimated oil and natural gas reserves owned by NYTEX
Petroleum.
PV-10 value
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the
standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows as
defined under GAAP. |

|
Future income taxes and present value discounted (10%) future
income taxes were $1,064,010 and $930,029, respectively.
Accordingly, the after-tax
PV-10 value
of Net Total Proved Reserves (or Standardized Measure of
Discounted Future Net Cash Flows) is $3,221,560. |

MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto.
Overview
Our strategy is to enhance value for our stockholders through
the acquisition of oilfield fluid service companies at
below-market acquisition prices and development of a
well-balanced portfolio of natural resource-based assets at
discounted acquisition and development costs.
We are an energy holding company consisting of two operating
segments:
Oilfield Services consisting of our
subsidiary, FDF, a full-service provider of drilling,
completion, and specialized fluids, dry drilling and completion
products, technical services, industrial cleaning services and
equipment rental for the oil and gas industry; and
Oil and Gas consisting of our
wholly-owned subsidiary, NYTEX Petroleum, an exploration and
production company concentrating on the acquisition and
development of oil and natural gas reserves.
Demand for services offered by our industry is a function of our
customers willingness to make operating and capital
expenditures to explore for, develop and produce hydrocarbons in
the United States, which in turn is affected by current and
expected levels of oil and gas prices. As oil and gas prices
increased from 2006 through most of 2008, oil and gas companies
increased their drilling activities. In the last part of 2008,
oil and gas prices declined rapidly, resulting in decreased
drilling activities. During the second half of 2009, oil prices
began to increase and remained relatively stable through the
latter half of 2010, which resulted in increases in drilling
activities, and have been increasingly expanding in the
oil-driven markets. However, natural gas prices continued to
decline significantly through most of 2009 and remained
depressed throughout 2010, which resulted in decreased activity
in the natural gas-driven markets. Despite natural gas prices
remaining below the levels seen in recent years, several markets
that produce significant natural gas liquids, such as the Eagle
Ford shale and those that have other advantages like proximity
to key consuming markets, such as the Marcellus shale, have
continued to see increased activity. The Bakken Shale area in
North Dakota and Montana has rapidly expanded as a major oil
producing resource play with an increasing number of drilling
rigs and service companies operating in the area since 2007.
Oilfield
Services
Acquisition
of FDF
On November 23, 2010, through our newly-formed and
wholly-owned subsidiary, Acquisition Inc., we acquired 100% of
the membership interests of Oaks and its wholly-owned operating
subsidiary, FDF. The Francis Group has no other assets or
operations other than FDF. Total consideration transferred was
$51.8 million and consisted of cash of $41.3 million,
5,400,000 shares of our Common Stock at an estimated fair
value of $1.86 per share, or $10 million, and a
non-interest bearing promissory note payable to the seller in
the principal amount of $0.7 million with a fair value of
$0.5 million.
FDF is a full-service provider of drilling, completion, and
specialized fluids, dry drilling and completion products,
technical services, industrial cleaning services and equipment
rental for the oil and gas industry. Headquartered in
Crowley, Louisiana, FDF operates out of 21 locations in Texas,
Oklahoma, Wyoming, North Dakota, and Louisiana including three
coastal Louisiana facilities which provide services on land and
off-shore Gulf of Mexico. FDFs suite of fluid products
includes water based, oil based and synthetic liquid drilling
mud, oil based and hematite products, viscosifiers, fluid
conditioners, as well as lubricants, detergents, defoamers and
completion fluids. FDFs completion fluids include calcium,
sodium, zinc bromide, salt water, calcium chloride and potassium
chloride. FDFs dry products include frac sand, proppants,
cement and fly ash and sack drilling mud. As part of its total
solution, FDF offers transportation, technical and support
services, environmental support services and industrial cleaning
of drilling rigs, tanks, vessels and barges and offers
29
rental equipment in the form of tanks, liquid mud barges, mud
pumps, and other similar equipment. FDF is a distributor,
warehouser and transloader of frac sand, proppants and liquid
drilling mud authorized to distribute in 39 states. The
customers include exploration and production companies, oilfield
and drilling service companies and frac sand and proppant
manufacturers and international brokerage companies of proppants.
Oil
and Gas
NYTEX Petroleum engages in the acquisition, promotion of, and
participation in the drilling of crude oil and natural gas wells
and also provides fee-based administration and management
services related to oil and gas properties.
In mid-2008, NYTEX Petroleum purchased, from an unaffiliated
third party, a 20% non-operating working interest in the
Lakeview Shallow Prospect (Lakeview Shallow
Prospect), a 12,000 acre coalbed methane
(CBM) gas field drilling project in
southeastern Oklahoma. The first nine wells in the Lakeview
Shallow Prospect were drilled in mid-2008 when costs for
drilling and tubular goods were at peak prices. The actual cost
exceeded the budgeted amount by 37% resulting in a reported
non-cash impairment of $499,219 for the year ended
December 31, 2008. In September 2010, we elected to sell
our 20% share in the Lakeview Shallow Prospect to the operator
in exchange for the outstanding balance due of $161,706
resulting in the recognition of loss of $111,970 for the year
ended December 31, 2010.
In August 2009, we acquired a 75% ownership in the Panhandle
Field Producing Property, a 320 acre producing oil and gas
property in the Texas panhandle consisting of 18 wells. As
the new operator, we performed technically proven fracture
stimulations known as refracs on approximately ten
of the existing wells. We successfully completed the first
refrac and have put it into commercial oil production. The
property lies within the vast Panhandle Field that extends into
Oklahoma and Kansas, which since its discovery in 1918, has
produced approximately 1.1 billion barrels of oil and 36
trillion cubic feet of gas, all at depths above 3,000 feet.
Currently, ten of our wells are in production with an average
combined rate of 25 barrels of oil per day and 45 MCF
of gas per day. Beginning in the first quarter 2010 and through
the third quarter of 2010, we sold or transferred a portion of
our 75% working interest in the Panhandle Field Producing
Property for $859,408 in cash, recognized a gain on sale of
$578,872, and retained a 28.16% working interest.
In December 2010, we re-acquired all but a 2.0% share of the
45.33% share sold earlier in the year for total consideration
transferred of approximately $1,451,858. The total consideration
transferred consisted of approximately $26,063 cash,
616,291 shares of NYTEX Energy Common Stock at an estimated
fair value of $1.86 per share, or approximately $1,146,301, 9%
demand notes totaling approximately $237,458, and interests in
existing NYTEX Petroleum properties with an estimated fair value
of $42,036. At December 31, 2010, we had an aggregate 73%
ownership interest in the Panhandle Field Producing Property.
On May 19, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum entered into the Simpson
Agreement with Simpson to rent segments of oil containment boom
(Boom) to Simpson to be used in the Gulf of Mexico
waters to contain the BP Global oil spill under Simpsons
master service or rental agreements with general contractors of
BP Global, state governments or other entities.
To fund the purchases of Boom, NYTEX Petroleum entered into the
Participation Agreements with outside participants to act as
agent on behalf of the participant to purchase and rent Boom
pursuant to the terms of the Simpson Agreement. The
Participation Agreements provided for the participant to receive
100% of the payments remitted by Simpson to NYTEX Petroleum
until such time that the participant has recovered 100% of its
cost of the delivered Boom (referred to as Participant
Payout). After Participant Payout was achieved, subsequent
payments remitted by Simpson to NYTEX Petroleum were split as
follows: 60% to the participant, 20% to NYTEX Petroleum, and 20%
to DMBC, Inc., who facilitated the transactions.
NYTEX Petroleum also entered into Gulf Oil Spill Boom Sales
Agreements (Purchaser Agreements) with
outside participants to purchase Boom and resell at a profit to
buyers including, but not limited to, coastal cities, counties,
parishes and BP (collectively, the Boom
Buyers) pursuant to the terms of the Simpson
Agreement. The Purchaser Agreements provided that immediately
upon NYTEX Petroleums receipt of funds
30
for the sale of Boom, NYTEX Petroleum would remit to purchaser
100% of purchasers purchase price of the Boom together
with 40% of the profit, less shipping and handling and insurance
costs.
Supreme
Vacuum
Beginning on August 26, 2008, we made a series of equity
investments in Supreme Vacuum, an oilfield fluid sales and
transportation service company in South Texas, as a result of
which we maintained a 71.18% ownership interest in Supreme
Vacuum. On September 8, 2010, we completed the disposition
of all Supreme Vacuum Shares and a promissory note
payable by Supreme Vacuum to Supreme Oilfield in the original
principal amount of $31,250. We have historically reported our
interest in Supreme Vacuum as an unconsolidated subsidiary
because we did not possess majority voting control and
accordingly, the ability to exercise significant influence over
Supreme Vacuum. Losses attributable to our interest in Supreme
Vacuum were $308,408 and $828,169 for the years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We considered the
continuing losses a significant contributor to our decision to
dispose of the Supreme Vacuum Shares. We recognized a loss of
$870,750 as a result of our sale of our interest in Supreme
Vacuum.
Results
of Operations
On November 23, 2010, we acquired FDF for total
consideration of $51.8 million. The results of FDF are
included in our consolidated statement of operations from the
acquisition date. Accordingly, nearly all of the line items
reported in our consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 2010 and for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 have increased significantly as a result of
acquiring FDF compared to the amounts reported in our
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2009 and for the three months ended
March 31, 2010, respectively.

We operated as a single segment for the year ended
December 31, 2009 and for the three months ended
March 31, 2010. |
Three
months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2010
Revenues. Revenues increased over the prior
year period primarily as a result of our acquisition of FDF in
November 2010.
Oil & gas lease operating
expenses. Lease operating expenses decreased
$4,888, or 11%, in the three months ended March 31, 2011
compared to the prior three months ended March 31, 2010 due
principally to general reduction in drilling activities during
2010, which has carried over to 2011.
Depreciation, depletion, and
amortization. Depreciation, depletion, and
amortization (DD&A) increased over the prior
period primarily as a result of our acquisition of FDF in
November 2010 and resultant significant increase in depreciable
long-lived assets.
Selling, general, and administrative
expenses. Selling, general, and administrative
(SG&A) expenses increased for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 compared to the prior three months
ended March 31, 2010 due principally to our acquisition of
FDF in November 2010. SG&A consists primarily of salary and
wages, contract labor, professional fees, lease rental costs,
fuel, and insurance costs.
Litigation loss on settlement. The litigation
loss on settlement for the three months ended March 31,
2011 is a result of the settlement of two lawsuits related to
the Panhandle Field Producing Property. In exchange for the
release of all claims to these two suits by the plaintiff,
concurrent with entering into a Compromise Settlement Agreement
and Release of All Claims agreement, the Company entered into a
Purchase and Sale Agreement whereby the Company sold its entire
interest in the Panhandle Field Producing Property to the
plaintiffs for the purchase price of $782,000, resulting in a
loss on litigation settlement totaling $965,065 for the three
months ended March 31, 2011. See Part II, Item 1.
Legal Proceedings for further discussion.
Gain on sale of assets, net. Gain on sale of
assets, net decreased $232,212 for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2010. The decrease is a result of the aggregate
gain recognized on the sale of the Panhandle Field Producing
Property during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased
during the three months ended March 31, 2011 over the prior
year period due primarily to the acquisition of FDF in
November 23, 2010 and the increase in outstanding debt
during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared
to the amount of debt outstanding during the three months ended
March 31, 2010. We expect interest expense to increase in
the near term as we include interest expense associated with the
increased outstanding debt for a full period.
Change in fair value of derivative
liabilities. The increase in the current period
as compared to the prior period ended March 31, 2010, is
due to the re-valuation of the Purchaser Warrant and the Control
Warrant, and the change in value of the warrants issued to the
holders of the Companys Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, as these instruments are deemed to be
derivatives. In the prior period, the Control Warrant was
initially valued at $0; however, for the three months ended
March 31, 2011, the Control Warrant was valued at
$17,300,000 as the conditions for exercise of the Control
Warrant were met in connection with the defaults under the
WayPoint Purchase Agreement. We recognize changes in the
respective fair values in the consolidated statements of
operations.
Accretion of preferred stock liability. Amount
reflects the accretion of the face amount of $20,750,000 related
to the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock issued in
connection with the WayPoint Transaction in November 2010 over
the term of the instruments of approximately 5.5 years.
32
Equity in loss of unconsolidated
subsidiaries. There was no loss of unconsolidated
subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when
compared to the same period in 2010, when we recognized a loss
totaling $116,903 related to our noncontrolling interests in
Supreme Vacuum and Waterworks. We disposed of our noncontrolling
interests in Supreme Vacuum in September 2010.
Year
ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2009
Revenues. Revenues increased over the prior
year period primarily as a result of our acquisition of FDF in
November 2010. Other revenues increased $215,448, or 60%,
primarily due to the Gulf Coast rental boom/sales boom income of
$468,291, offset by a decrease in administrative fee income and
accounting/management fees of $270,573 attributable to a shift
in our strategy to acquiring proved properties and producing
operations and away from managing investment projects within the
oil and gas industry. We expect revenues to increase in the
future as we include the operations of FDF for a full period and
we acquire additional operating companies.
Oil & gas lease operating
expenses. Lease operating expenses decreased
$188,532, or 57%, in the current year ended December 31,
2010 compared to the prior year ended December 31, 2009 due
principally to the partial sale of our interest in the Panhandle
Field Producing Property in the first half of 2010 and a general
reduction in drilling activities during 2010.
Depreciation, depletion, and
amortization. DD&A increased over the prior
year period primarily as a result of our acquisition of FDF in
November 2010 and resultant significant increase in depreciable
long-lived assets. We expect depreciation, depletion, and
amortization to increase in the future as we include the
operations of FDF for a full year and we acquire additional
operating companies.
Selling, general, and administrative
expenses. SG&A expenses increased for the
year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the prior year
ended December 31, 2009 due principally to our acquisition
of FDF in November 2010. SG&A consists primarily of salary
and wages, contract labor, professional fees, lease rental
costs, fuel, and insurance costs. We expect SG&A to
increase in the future as we include the operations of FDF for a
full year and we acquire additional operating companies.
Gain on sale of assets, net. Gain on sale of
assets, net consists of the aggregate gain recognized on the
sale of the Panhandle Field Producing Property totaling
$578,872, offset by the loss on the disposal of the Lakeview
Shallows property totaling $111,970. We did not recognize any
such gains or losses in 2009.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased
over the prior year period due primarily to the acquisition of
FDF in November 23, 2010 and the resultant increase in
outstanding debt as compared to the amount of debt outstanding
in 2009. We expect interest expense to increase in the near term
as we include interest expense associated with the increased
outstanding debt for a full year.
Change in fair value of derivative
liabilities. The increase in the current year as
compared to no amount in the prior year is due to the issuance
of warrants associated with the WayPoint Transaction, the
issuance of the Debentures due January 2014, and the warrants
issued to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock, as
these instruments were deemed to be derivatives. We recognize
changes in the respective fair values in the consolidated
statements of operations.
Accretion of preferred stock
liability. Reflects the accretion of the face
amount of $20,750,000 related to the Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock issued by Acquisition Inc. in
connection with the WayPoint Transaction in November 2010 over
the term of the instruments of approximately 5.5 years.
Equity in loss of unconsolidated
subsidiaries. The loss of unconsolidated
subsidiaries of $317,158 for the year ended December 31,
2010 as compared to $897,834 loss recorded for the prior year
ended December 31, 2009 is due primarily to the sale of our
interest in Supreme Vacuum in September 2010. We expect losses
related to unconsolidated subsidiaries to decrease in the future
as we no longer have an interest in Supreme Vacuum.
Loss on sale of unconsolidated subsidiary. We
recognized a loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 due
to the sale of Supreme Vacuum in September 2010.

Adjusted
EBITDA
To assess the operating results of our segments, the chief
operating decision maker analyzes net income (loss) before
income taxes, interest expense, DD&A, impairments, changes
in fair value attributable to derivative liabilities, and
accretion of preferred stock liability (Adjusted
EBITDA). Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, which
is not a GAAP measure, excludes interest expense to allow for
assessment of segment operating results without regard to our
financing methods or capital structure. Similarly, DD&A and
impairments are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of
segment operating performance because capital expenditures are
evaluated at the time capital costs are incurred. In addition,
changes in fair value attributable to derivative liabilities and
the accretion of preferred stock liability are excluded from
Adjusted EBITDA since these unrealized (gains) losses are not
considered to be a measure of asset-operating performance.
Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA
provides information useful in assessing our financial condition
and results of operations and that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely
accepted financial indicator of a companys ability to
incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make
distributions to stockholders.
Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore,
our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in
conjunction with net income (loss) and other performance
measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating
income or cash flow from operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA
has important limitations as an analytical tool because it
excludes certain items that affect net income (loss) and net
cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA should
not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an
analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Below is a
reconciliation of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated
net loss to common stockholders as reported on our consolidated
statements of operations.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our working capital needs have historically been satisfied
through operations, equity and debt investments from private
investors, loans with financial institutions, and through the
sale of assets. Historically, our primary use of cash has been
to pay for acquisitions and investments such as FDF, Supreme
Vacuum, the Lakeview Shallow Prospect, and the Panhandle Field
Producing Property, service our debt, and for general working
capital requirements.
Defaults
Under Financing Arrangements
Our loan agreements and the agreements relating to our other
financing arrangements generally require that we comply with
certain reporting and financial covenants. These covenants
include among other things, providing the lender, within set
time periods, with financial information, notifying the lender
of any change in management, limitations on the amount of
capital expenditures, and maintaining certain financial ratios.
As a
34
result of the challenges incurred in integrating the FDF
operations and due to higher than anticipated capital
expenditures at FDF, we were unable to meet several reporting
and financial covenants under our Senior Facility with PNC
measured as of November 30, 2010 and February 28,
2011. Failure to meet the loan covenants under the Senior
Facility loan agreement constitutes a default and on
April 13, 2011, PNC, as lender, provided us with a formal
written notice of default. PNC has not commenced the exercise of
any of its other rights and remedies, which could include
foreclosure on substantially all of FDFs assets, but has
expressly reserved all such rights. At March 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, the outstanding principal balance of the
amounts owed under the Senior Facility was $17,125,302 and
$17,752,723, respectively, and is, because of this default,
reported within current liabilities on the consolidated balance
sheets as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. We
are currently in negotiations with PNC to obtain a waiver of the
defaults. However, there are no assurances that we will be
successful in our negotiations with PNC or that the conditions
to the waiver will be satisfactory to us.
In addition, due to cross-default provisions and other covenant
requirements, we are also in default under the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement. The amounts reported on our consolidated balance
sheet as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010
related to the WayPoint Purchase Agreement include a derivative
liability totaling $46,340,000 and $32,554,826, respectively,
which are reported as current liabilities on our consolidated
balance sheets. As a result, WayPoint may seek certain remedies
afforded to them under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement including
the right to (i) exercise their Control Warrant, or (ii)
exercise their put right. We are currently in negotiations with
WayPoint to remedy the events of noncompliance and modify the
WayPoint Purchase Agreement. However, there are no assurances
that we will be successful in our negotiations with WayPoint or
that the conditions to the waiver will be satisfactory to us.
On May 4, 2011, WayPoint provided formal written notice
(Put Notice) to the Company of its election to cause
the Company to repurchase(i) warrants issued to WayPoint
(Warrants) that, in the aggregate, allow WayPoint to
purchase that number of shares of the Companys common
stock to equal 51% of the Companys fully diluted capital
stock then outstanding, (ii) the 20,750 shares of
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of Acquisition
Inc. owned by WayPoint, and (iii) one share of
Series B Preferred Stock of the Company owned by WayPoint,
for an aggregate purchase price of $30,000,000 within five
business days following the date of the Put Notice. The Company
did not have the funds available to satisfy this Put Notice in a
timely manner, but continues to negotiate with WayPoint to
remedy the defaults and resolve WayPoints demands in the
Put Notice. As a result, WayPoint may seek certain remedies
afforded to them under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement including
the exercise of their Purchaser and Control Warrants. However,
there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in
these negotiations, and WayPoint has reserved all other rights,
remedies, actions and powers to which WayPoint may be entitled.
Notwithstanding recent workforce reductions and the defaults
under our financial arrangements, we may not have sufficient
funds to pursue our business priorities. As a result, we are
limited in our ability to remain current in making payments to
trade vendors and other unsecured creditors when such payments
are due and, rights that may be exercised by PNC regarding the
defaults under the Senior Facility. These workforce reductions,
as well as curtailed financial resources, may further impact our
ability to implement our business priorities. However,
management has implemented plans to improve liquidity through
slowing or stopping certain planned capital expenditures and
through the sale of selected assets deemed unnecessary to our
business. Although these constraints have caused us to
significantly scale back the rate at which we implement our
business strategy, we believe that these actions should preserve
our viability and provide additional time to execute our
business priorities.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors and
we may require additional capital beyond our currently
anticipated amounts. Any such required additional capital may
not be available on reasonable terms, if at all, given our
prospects, the current economic environment and restricted
access to capital markets. The continued depletion of our
resources may make future funding more difficult or expensive to
attain. Additional equity financing may be dilutive to our
stockholders; debt financing, if available, may involve
significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict
our ability to operate as a business; and strategic partnerships
may result in terms which reduce our economic potential from any
adjustments to our existing long-term strategy. The continuation
of our company as a going concern is dependent upon our
35
company attaining and maintaining profitable operations,
resolving the defaults under certain of our loan agreements
discussed above, and raising additional capital. The financial
statements for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and
2010, and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and
2009, do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we
discontinue operations.
The following represents a summary of capital raised during the
three months ended March 31, 2011 and fiscal year 2010.
$2.15
Million Debenture Offering
In August 2010, we initiated a $2.15 million offering of
the Debentures to fund our ongoing working capital needs. Terms
of the Debentures were as follows: (i) $100,000 per unit
with interest at a rate of 12% per annum payable monthly with a
maturity of 180 days from the date of issuance;
(ii) convertible at any time prior to maturity at $1.50 per
share of our Common Stock; and, (iii) each unit includes a
three-year Debenture Warrant to purchase up to
20,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of
$2.00 per share for a period of three years from the effective
date of the warrant. As of October 12, 2010, we had raised
the full $2.15 million under the Debenture offering and in
connection with this offering we issued warrants to purchase up
to 430,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, we issued
45,000 shares of our Common Stock to certain Debenture
holders as an inducement to acquire the Debentures. During the
first quarter of 2011, the Debentures were amended such that the
maturity date was extended to October 2011.
WayPoint
Transaction
In connection with the FDF acquisition, on November 23,
2010, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Acquisition Inc.,
entered into the WayPoint Purchase Agreement with WayPoint
whereby, in exchange for $20 million cash, we issued to
WayPoint (i) 20,750 shares of Acquisition Inc.
14% Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, par
value of $0.001 with an original stated amount of $1,000 per
share, (ii) one share of our Series B Preferred Stock,
par value of $0.001 per share, (iii) the Purchaser Warrant,
and (iv) the Control Warrant. As of June 30, 2011, we
owed $1,218,485 on the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock dividends. The Control Warrant may be exercised only if
certain conditions, as defined in the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement, are met. As of the date of this prospectus, the
Control Warrant is exercisable.
The Control Warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $0.01
per share, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the occurrence
of a Default (defined below) that remains uncured for
seventy-five days; provided, that payment to the holders of
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of all amounts
owing to them by Acquistion Inc., as a result of a default shall
be considered a cure of a default, (ii) the date on which a
change of control occurs, if Acquisition Inc. is not able to
redeem all of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock in accordance with its terms, (iii) seventy-five days
after the date on which the third Default has occurred within a
consecutive twelve-month period, and (iv) May 23,
2016, if Acquisition Inc. is not able to redeem all of the
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock in accordance
with its terms (the Default
Conditions). The term
Default includes 14 categories of
events, which are listed in Section 11.1 of the WayPoint
Purchase Agreement and which list includes, among other events,
(i) the failure of Acquisition Inc. to timely make a
redemption payment to holders of the Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock, (ii) the failure of Acquisition
Inc. to timely make a dividend payment to holders of the Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, (iii) our or
Acquisition Inc.s failure to perform covenants in the
WayPoint Purchase Agreement, (iv) our failure to meet a
fixed-charge coverage ratio, leverage ratio or minimum EBITDA
test in the WayPoint Purchase Agreement; (v) we or any of
our subsidiaries becomes in default on other indebtedness,
individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000;
(vi) we, Acquisition Inc. or any Francis Group entity
becomes subject to bankruptcy or receivership proceedings,
(vii) a judgment or judgments is entered against is entered
against us, Acquisition Inc. or any Francis Group entities in
excess of $1,000,000, and such judgment is not satisfied;
(viii) we, Acquisition Inc. or any Francis Group entity
breaches a representation or warranty in the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement or the documents related thereto; (ix) a change
of control occurs; and (x) certain liabilities in excess of
$250,000 arise under ERISA. Change of
control means (i) a sale of shares of our
stock, Acquisition Inc. or Francis Group, or a merger involving
any of them, as a result of which
36
holders of the voting capital stock of the applicable entity
immediately prior to such transaction do not hold at least 50%
of the voting power of the applicable entity or the resulting or
surviving entity or the acquiring entity; (ii) a
disposition of all or substantially all of our, Acquisition
Inc.s or Francis Group assets; (iii) a voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up by us,
Acquisition Inc. or Francis Group; (iv) either Michael K.
Galvis or Michael G. Francis shall sell at least five percent
(5%) of our equity held by him immediately prior to such sale;
(v) Michael K. Galvis ceases to be our Chief Executive
Officer and is not replaced by a candidate suitable to WayPoint
within 30 days or any such replacement Chief Executive
Officer ceases to be our Chief Executive Officer and is not
replaced by a candidate suitable to WayPoint within
30 days; or (vi) Michael G. Francis ceases to be the
Chief Executive Officer of FDF and is not replaced by a
candidate suitable to WayPoint within 30 days or any such
replacement Chief Executive Officer ceases to be the Chief
Executive Officer of FDF and is not replaced by a candidate
suitable to WayPoint within 30 days.
On April 13, 2011, we received a letter from PNC, as
lender, notifying us of the existence of certain events of
default under our Senior Facility. Similarly, on April 14,
2011, we received a similar notice of default from WayPoint,
stating we are in Default of the WayPoint Purchase Agreement,
and, therefore, that WayPoint possesses the right to exercise
the Control Warrant. If WayPoint exercises the Control Warrant,
they would own 51% of our outstanding Common Stock. We are
currently in negotiations with WayPoint to remedy the Events of
Default and modify the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. However,
there are no assurances that we will be successful in our
negotiations with WayPoint. On May 4, 2011, WayPoint
provided formal written notice (Put Notice) to the
Company of its election to cause the Company to repurchase(i)
warrants issued to WayPoint (Warrants) that, in the
aggregate, allow WayPoint to purchase that number of shares of
the Companys common stock to equal 51% of the
Companys fully diluted capital stock then outstanding,
(ii) the 20,750 shares of Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock of Acquisition Inc. owned by
WayPoint, and (iii) one share of Series B Preferred
Stock of the Company owned by WayPoint, for an aggregate
purchase price of $30,000,000 within five business days
following the date of the Put Notice. The Company did not have
the funds available to satisfy this Put Notice in a timely
manner, but continues to negotiate with WayPoint to remedy the
defaults and resolve WayPoints demands in the Put Notice.
As a result, WayPoint may seek certain remedies afforded to them
under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement including the exercise of
their Purchaser and Control Warrants. However, there are no
assurances that the Company will be successful in these
negotiations, and WayPoint has reserved all other rights,
remedies, actions and powers to which WayPoint may be entitled.
In connection with the WayPoint Transaction, we issued warrants
to purchase up to 423,244 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $0.01 per share to an unaffiliated investment
group that facilitated the transaction. The warrants may be
exercised for a period of five years from the date of grant. The
aggregate fair value of the warrants on the date of grant was
approximately $779,000 using a Monte Carlo simulation and was
recorded as deferred financing costs on our consolidated balance
sheets.
Senior
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility
In connection with the FDF Acquisition, we entered into the
Senior Facility with PNC providing for loans up to
$24 million. The Senior Facility consists of a term loan in
the amount of $12 million and a revolving credit facility
in an amount up to $12 million. The term loan bears an
annual interest rate based on the higher of (i) the
30 day LIBOR plus 1%, or (ii) the Federal Funds rate
plus 0.5%, plus a margin of 2.5%. The term loan requires monthly
payments of principal and interest based on a seven-year
amortization of $142,857 with the remaining principal and any
unpaid interest due in full at maturity on November 23,
2015. The revolving credit facility bears an annual interest
rate based on the higher of (i) the 30 day LIBOR plus
1%, or (ii) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.5%, plus a margin of
1.75% and payments of interest only due monthly with the then
outstanding principal and any unpaid interest due in full at
maturity on November 23, 2015. Advances under the revolving
credit facility may not exceed 85% of FDFs eligible
accounts receivable as defined in the Senior Facility agreement.
The Senior Facility is subject to financial and other covenants
and is secured by a first lien on all of the assets of
Acquisition Inc., including its interests in FDF and all of the
assets of FDF.
37
On April 13, 2011, we received a letter from PNC, as
lender, notifying us of the existence of certain events of
default under our Senior Facility, in particular, breach of a
fixed coverage ratio and breach of certain reporting
requirements. We are currently in negotiations with PNC to
remedy the defaults which include managements plans to
enhance our current liquidity through delaying or stopping
capital expenditures through 2011 and improvements to our
results of operations. However, there are no assurances that we
will be successful in our negotiations with PNC or that the
terms will be satisfactory to us.
Private
Placement Series A Preferred
Stock
In contemplation of the acquisition of FDF, in October 2010, we
initiated a private placement of units, with each unit
consisting of (i) 100,000 shares of our Series A
Preferred Stock, and (ii) the Series A Warrants. Each unit was
priced at $100,000. For the year ended December 31, 2010,
we issued 55.8 units for gross proceeds of $5,580,000
consisting of 5,580,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to
1,674,000 shares of Common Stock. At the conclusion of the
private placement offering in January 2011, we had issued a
total of 60 units for aggregate gross proceeds of
$6,000,000.
The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to
payment of dividends at 9% of the purchase price per share of
$1.00, with such dividends payable quarterly. Dividends are
payable out of any assets legally available, are cumulative, and
in preference to any declaration or payment of dividends to the
holders of Common Stock. As of June 1, 2011, we owed
$223,245 in dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock may, at any time,
convert their shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion ratio
of
one-to-one.
In addition, we issued warrants to purchase up to
223,200 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
to the underwriter of the private placement offering of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The warrants may be
exercised for a period of three years from date of grant at an
exercise price of $1.00 per share. The aggregate fair value of
the warrants on the date of grant was approximately $283,500
using a Monte Carlo simulation.
9%
Convertible Debenture of NYTEX Petroleum
As of June 30, 2011, our
wholly-owned
subsidiary, NYTEX Petroleum, has raised $1,170,000 in connection
with the offering of 9% debentures, (NYTEX Petroleum
Debentures). The NYTEX Petroleum Debentures are due on
February 14, 2014 and been an interest rate of 9% per annum,
payable on the first business day of each month, in cash.
The NYTEX Petroleum Debentures are convertible into shares of
our Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share of
Common Stock. Assuming a full conversion of all NYTEX Petroleum
Debentures, all debt associated with the conversion will be
extinguished.
Other
Financings
In March 2006, NYTEX Petroleum LLC entered into a $400,000
revolving credit facility (Facility)
with one of its founding members to be used for operational and
working capital needs. In August 2008, the revolving nature of
the Facility was terminated, with the then unpaid principal
balance of $295,000 on the Facility effectively becoming a note
payable to the non-executive founding member. The Facility
continued to bear interest, payable monthly, at 6% per annum, be
secured by the assets of NYTEX Petroleum LLC (now NYTEX
Petroleum) and be personally guaranteed by NYTEX Petroleum
LLCs two founding members. In May 2009, the Facility was
further amended pursuant to a letter agreement such that
principal and any unpaid interest on the note payable to the
non-executive founding member was to be paid in full upon
completion of our $5,850,000 private placement of Common Stock,
which had not occurred as of February 18, 2010. At that
time the letter agreement was further amended, requiring monthly
principal payments of $3,000 plus interest for eighteen months
beginning March 1, 2010 and ending September 1, 2011.
At the end of the eighteen-month period, the remaining principal
balance and any unpaid interest are due in a lump sum. There is
no penalty for early payment of principal. As of March 31,
2011 and December 31, 2010, the amount outstanding under
the Facility was $159,000 and $168,000, respectively.
38
In July 2009, we entered into various bridge loans totaling
$950,000 (Bridge Loans), the proceeds
of which were used for the acquisition of the Panhandle Field
Producing Property, its initial development costs, and working
capital purposes. The Bridge Loans originally matured on
January 31, 2010, with 12.5% cash interest for the
six-month period, or 25% per annum, payable at maturity. The
Bridge Loans have been amended multiple times to extend the
maturity date. On August 23, 2010, the agreement with the
Bridge Loan holders extended the maturity date of principal and
interest to September 1, 2010, with no penalties for
prepayment. Interest was payable at rates of 25% and 18% per
annum. On September 1, 2010, the remaining Bridge Loans
(all at an interest rate of 18% per annum) were further amended
to extend the maturity date to December 1, 2010, with one
option to extend the maturity date to July 1, 2011. The
final Bridge Loan was paid in full during the quarter ended
June 30, 2011.
In April and June 2010, we entered into short-term unsecured
advance agreements with an unrelated party which accrued
interest at 18% per annum, utilizing the funds for operational
and working capital purposes. As of December 31, 2010, we
had repaid in full all of the total borrowings of $180,000.
In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2010, we
raised an additional $181,100 from the sale of
91,200 shares of Common Stock, $400,000 from the
disposition of our interest in Supreme Vacuum, and $833,300, net
of cash paid, to re-acquire the interests in December 2010,
through the sale of a portion of our interest in the Panhandle
Field Producing Property. These proceeds were used for general
working capital purposes and the repayment of notes payable.

Critical
Accounting Policies
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an
ongoing basis, we review these estimates based on information
that is currently available. Changes in facts and circumstances
may cause us to revise our estimates. The most significant
estimates relate to revenue recognition, depreciation, depletion
and amortization, the assessment of impairment of long-lived
assets and oil and gas properties, income taxes, and fair value.
Actual results could differ from estimates under different
assumptions and conditions, and such results may affect
operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Accounts
Receivable
We provide credit in the normal course of business to our
customers and perform ongoing credit evaluations of those
customers. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based
on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers,
historical trends, and other information. A portion of our
receivables are from the operators of producing wells in which
we maintain ownership interests. These operators market our
share of crude oil and natural gas production. The ability to
collect is dependent upon the general economic conditions of the
purchasers/participants and the oil and gas industry.
Inventory
Inventory consists of dry materials used in mixing oilfield
drilling fluids and liquid drilling fluids mixed and ready for
delivery to the drilling rig location. The dry materials are
carried at the lower of cost or market, principally on the
first-in,
first-out basis. The liquid drilling materials are valued at
standard cost which approximates actual cost on a
first-in,
first-out basis and which does not exceed market value.
Property,
plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost less
accumulated DD&A. Costs of improvements that appreciably
improve the efficiency or productive capacity of existing
properties or extend their lives are capitalized. Maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or sale,
the cost of properties and equipment, net of the related
accumulated DD&A, is removed and, if appropriate, gain or
loss is recognized in the respective periods consolidated
statement of operations.
For our oil and gas properties, we follow the successful efforts
method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and development
costs. Under this method of accounting, all property acquisition
costs and costs of exploratory wells are capitalized when
incurred, pending determination of whether additional proved
reserves are found. If an exploratory well does not find
additional reserves, the costs of drilling the well are charged
to expense. The costs of development wells, whether productive
or nonproductive, are capitalized. Geological and geophysical
costs on exploratory prospects and the costs of carrying and
retaining unproved properties are expensed as incurred.
Long-lived
Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is
generally measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If it is determined that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized
for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
the fair value of the asset. Fair value is the estimated value
at which the asset could be bought or sold in a transaction
between willing parties. We consider projected future
undiscounted cash flows, trends, strategic decisions regarding
future development plans, and other factors in our assessment of
whether impairment conditions exist. While we
41
believe our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable,
different assumptions regarding factors such as the price of oil
and gas, production volumes and costs, drilling activity, and
economic conditions could significantly affect these estimates.
We evaluate impairment of our oil and gas properties on a
property-by-property
basis and estimate the fair value based on discounted cash flows
expected to be generated from the production of proved reserves.
Wells
in Progress
We record a liability for funds held on behalf of outside
investors in oil and gas exploration projects, which are to be
paid to the project operator as capital expenditures are billed.
The liability is reduced as we make payments on behalf of those
outside investors to the operator of the project.
Goodwill
and Acquired Intangible Assets
We record the difference between the purchase price and the fair
value of the net assets acquired in a business combination as
goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is measured for
impairment annually, or more frequently if conditions indicate
an earlier review is necessary. If the estimated fair value of
goodwill is less than the carrying value, goodwill is impaired
and written down to its estimated fair value.
Acquired intangibles are recorded at fair value as of the date
acquired and consist of non-compete agreements, customer
relationships, and the FDF trade name. We amortize acquired
intangibles with finite lives on a straight-line basis over
estimated useful lives of 5 to 20 years, and we include the
amortization in DD&A. We evaluate the recoverability of
intangible assets annually or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that an intangible assets carrying
value may not be recoverable.
Asset
Retirement Obligations
We recognize liabilities for retirement obligations associated
with tangible long-lived assets, such as producing well sites
when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement
of such assets and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The
initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation is
recorded as a liability at its fair value, with an offsetting
asset retirement cost recorded as an increase to the associated
property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. If the
fair value of a recorded asset retirement obligation changes, a
revision is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and
the asset retirement cost. The asset retirement cost is
depreciated using a systematic and rational method similar to
that used for the associated property and equipment.
Fair
Value Measurements
Certain of our assets and liabilities are measured at fair value
at each reporting date. Fair value represents the price that
would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
This price is commonly referred to as the exit price.
Fair value measurements are classified according to a hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs underlying the valuation techniques.
This hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1
inputs on the hierarchy consist of unadjusted quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the
highest priority. Level 2 measurements are based on inputs
other than quoted prices that are generally observable for the
asset or liability. Common examples of Level 2 inputs
include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in
active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and
liabilities in markets not considered to be active. Level 3
measurements have the lowest priority and are based upon inputs
that are not observable from objective sources. The most common
Level 3 fair value measurement is an internally developed
cash flow model. We use appropriate valuation techniques based
on the available inputs to measure the fair values of our assets
and liabilities. When available, we measure the fair value using
Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most
reliable evidence of fair value.
42
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues from the sale of drilling fluid products and oilfield
services are recorded at the time products are sold or services
are provided to third parties at a fixed or determinable price,
delivery or performance has occurred, title has transferred, and
collectability of the revenue is probable. We recognize revenues
for promoting certain oil and gas exploration projects and
administering the ownership interests of investors in those
projects. Administration fees are deferred on the balance sheet
as the project is undertaken. As administration services are
performed, deferred administration fees are recognized as
revenue when each discrete phase of a project is completed and
the services have been completed.
Revenues from the sales of natural gas and crude oil are
recorded when product delivery occurs and title and risk of loss
pass to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, and
collection is reasonably assured.
Share
Based Compensation
We grant share-based awards, in the form of Common Stock, to
acquire goods
and/or
services, to members of our Board of directors, and to selected
employees. All such awards are measured at fair value on the
date of grant and are recognized as a component of selling,
general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying
statements of operations over the applicable requisite service
periods.
Income
Taxes
We are subject to current income taxes assessed by the federal
and various state jurisdictions in the United States. In
addition, we account for deferred income taxes related to these
jurisdictions using the asset and liability method. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
are also recognized for the future tax benefits attributable to
the expected utilization of existing tax net operating loss
carryforwards and other types of carryforwards. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations
in the period that includes the enactment date.
We recognize the financial statement effects of tax positions
when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits,
that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing
authority. Recognized tax positions are initially and
subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that
is more likely than not of being realized upon ultimate
settlement with a taxing authority. We have not taken a tax
position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on
the consolidated financial statements or the effective tax rate
for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Involvement
of a Director in Certain Legal Proceedings
On September 29, 2003, the Pennsylvania Securities
Commission issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist against
Aragorn Energy, LLC and William G. Brehmer to halt the offer and
sale of unregistered securities in Pennsylvania. The
Pennsylvania Securities Commission alleged that Aragorn Energy
was selling working interests in two oil wells in Pennsylvania
without registration or an applicable exemption and further
alleged several misrepresentations and omissions in the offering
materials relating to the interests.
Mr. Brehmer was one of four founding members, the
organizer, managing member and the registered agent of Aragorn
Energy, which was organized on January 6, 2003. Aragorn
Energy acquired ownership in an oil and gas lease containing a
well bore that had never been completed plus additional drilling
locations. Aragorn Energy formed a joint venture to fund the
completion of the well bore and drill one additional well on its
lease and offered working interests in the joint venture to
raise the drilling and completion capital. Each Aragorn Energy
member contacted friends and family to raise
drilling and completion capital for the joint venture. Without
Mr. Brehmers knowledge, an Aragorn Energy member
forwarded an offering document listing Mr. Brehmer as the
managing member to an accredited investor whom the member had
prior contact with in Pennsylvania, which offering document was
subsequently forwarded to the Pennsylvania Securities
Commission. Because he was not aware that any offers would be
made in the state, Mr. Brehmer, as managing member of
Aragorn Energy, failed to file appropriate notice of intent to
use an exemption from the registrations requirements of
Pennsylvania. He received a letter from the Pennsylvania
Securities Commission which he forwarded to his attorney, who
failed to timely respond by the deadline stated in the letter.
Subsequently, Mr. Brehmer received a letter from the
Pennsylvania Securities Commission stating that he had not
responded to their original notice and, as a result, it had
issued a permanent cease and desist against him and Aragorn
Energy. Because no sales of interests were consummated by
Aragorn Energy in Pennsylvania and no future Aragorn Energy
offerings in Pennsylvania were planned, Mr. Brehmer decided
not to take any actions to challenge or lift the cease and
desist order.
Subsidiary
Executive Officers, Directors and Managers
As discussed above in Risk Factors, and below in
Transactions with Related Persons and Certain Control
Persons, WayPoint holds all outstanding shares of Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock in Acquisition Inc.
Acquisition Inc. is the sole owner of Francis Oaks, LLC, which
in turn wholly owns FDF. On May 9, 2011, WayPoint notified
Acquisition Inc. that, because of the continuing occurrences of
default under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement, it elected to
increase the board of Acquisition Inc. from four members to
five, and designed Mr. J.J. Schickel, Jr. to fill this
newly created vacancy. Mr. Schickel served in this capacity
until May 20, 2011, when WayPoint replaced
Mr. Schickel with Mr. Lee Buchwald. As of
June 30, 2011, the board of Acquisition Inc. included
Michael Galvis, Kenneth K. Conte, John Henry Moulton (a WayPoint
designee), Thomas Drechsler (a WayPoint designee) and
Mr. Buchwald (a WayPoint designee). For more information
about Mr. Moulton and Mr. Drechsler, see
Transactions with Related Persons and Certain Control
Persons, on page 48 herein.
On May 10, 2011, the newly constituted board of Acquisition
Inc. voted to remove Michael Galvis as president and Kenneth
Conte as chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary of
both Oaks and FDF and replace them with Mike Francis as
president and Jude Gregory as chief financial officer, treasurer
and secretary. Also on May 10, 2011, the board of
Acquisition Inc. voted to remove all directors and managers, as
applicable, of Oaks and FDF, and replace them with
Messrs. Moulton, Drechsler, Galvis, Schickel and Conte as
the sole directors and managers, as applicable.
Mr. Schickel served in this capacity until May 20,
2011, when WayPoint replaced Mr. Schickel with Mr. Lee
Buchwald.

On November 23, 2010 we consummated the FDF Acquisition. In
connection therewith, FDF entered into an employment agreement
with Michael G. Francis to act as President and CEO of FDF.
Under his employment agreement Mr. Francis will receive an
annual base salary of $200,000 and a $2,500 bonus for each key
employee FDF retains for one year from the date of execution.
Had we acquired FDF at the beginning of the fiscal year,
Mr. Francis would have been considered a named executive
officer. In addition to his base annual salary and bonus set
forth above, Mr. Francis is eligible to receive stock
grants, bonus awards and deferred compensation. |
|
|
|
Also in connection with the FDF Acquisition, FDF entered into an
employment agreement with Jude Gregory to remain as Chief
Financial Officer of FDF. Like Mr. Francis, had the FDF
Acquisition taken place at the beginning of the fiscal year,
Mr. Gregory would have been considered a named executive
officer. Mr. Gregorys annual base salary is $150,000
as well as is eligible to receive quarterly and annual bonuses
as well as stock grants under performance based criteria set by
the management of FDF. |
|
(2) |
|
All bonuses are discretionary based on each individual
executives performance as determined by us. |
|
(3) |
|
Stock awards are valued at $1.04 per share of Common Stock for
purposes of this annual report. |
|
|
|
(4) |
|
Michael Galvis base salary is comprised of $275,000 under
an employment agreement with us for his role as our President
and CEO. |
|
|
|
(5) |
|
Georgianna Hanes ceased being our CFO on June 1, 2010, and
as our Secretary and Treasurer on April 30, 2011. |
|
|
|
(6) |
|
Kenneth K. Conte became our Executive Vice President and CFO on
June 1, 2010. |
|
(7) |
|
William Brehmer ceased being our COO on March 24, 2010 but
remains as a Director. |
|
(8) |
|
Michael K. Galviss NYTEX Employment Agreement contemplates
a car and health insurance allowance which equals in the
aggregate $2,375 per month. Georgianna Hanes and William G.
Brehmer received a health insurance allowance of approximately
$400 per month. Kenneth K. Contes employment agreement
provides for car allowance which in 2010 was equal to $431 per
month. |
Executive
Employment Agreements
The following is a summary of the material terms of the
employment agreements we have with our named executive officers:
Agreements with Michael K. Galvis. On
April 28, 2009, we entered into an employment agreement
with Mr. Galvis (the NYTEX Employment
Agreement). On November 22, 2010, the NYTEX
Employment Agreement was amended to modify
Mr. Galviss compensation. The NYTEX Employment
Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $250,000 per
year, an auto allowance of $875 per month, health insurance
allowance of $1,500 per month and incentive compensation to be
determined from time to time by our board of directors.
46
Agreement with Kenneth K. Conte. On
November 22, 2010, we entered into an employment agreement
with Mr. Conte that superseded a previous employment
agreement dated June 1, 2010. The employment agreement with
Mr. Conte provides for an annual base compensation of
$200,000. Additionally, Mr. Conte receives a vehicle and
all expenses associated with such vehicle. Mr. Conte may
also receive additional compensation as determined from time to
time by our board of directors. Mr. Contes employment
agreement has a term of two years from the date of execution
with automatic one year extensions unless either party elects
not to renew. Mr. Contes employment agreement
contains typical confidentiality provisions as well as a
non-competition clause for a period from the date of execution
during his employment and for a three year period thereafter. In
the event of termination without cause, Mr. Conte is
entitled to receive a severance payment determined by dividing
his base salary by 257 to compute a daily base salary
rate and then multiplying the daily base salary rate by
the product of multiplying the number of full months of his
employment with us by 84%, less taxes and Social Security
required to be withheld.

2010 Director
Compensation
During the year ended December 31, 2010, our directors
neither received nor accrued compensation for their services as
directors other than reimbursement of expenses relating to
attending meetings of our board of directors.
Director
Independence
The standards relied upon in determining whether a director is
independent are those of the NASDAQ Stock Market,
which include the following objective standards: (a) a
director who is an employee, or whose immediate family member
(defined as a spouse, parent, child, sibling, father- and
mother-in-law,
son- and
daughter-in-law
and anyone, other than a domestic employee, sharing the
directors home) is our executive officer, would not be
independent for a period of three years after termination of
such relationship; (b) a director who receives, or whose
immediate family member receives, compensation of more than
$120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months from us,
except for certain permitted payments, would not be independent
for a period of three years after ceasing to receive such
amount; (c) a director who is or who has an immediate
family member who is, a current partner of our outside auditor
or who was, or who has an immediate family member who was, a
partner or employee of our outside auditor who worked on our
audit at any time during any of the past three years would not
be independent until a period of three years after the
termination of such relationship; (d) a director who is, or
whose immediate family member is, employed as an executive
officer of another company where any of our present executive
officers serve on the other companys compensation
committee would not be independent for a period of three years
after the end of such relationship; and (e) a director who
is, or who has an immediate family member who is, a partner in,
or a controlling stockholder or an executive officer of any
organization that makes payments to, or receives payments from,
the Company for property or services in an amount that, in any
single fiscal year, exceeds the greater of $200,000, or 5% of
such other companys consolidated gross revenues, would not
be independent until a period of three years after falling below
such threshold.
In applying the above-referenced standards, we have determined
that Jonathan Rich is currently our only independent director.
TRANSACTIONS
WITH RELATED PERSONS AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS
WayPoint,
Thomas W. Drechsler and John Henry Moulton
On November 23, 2010, in connection with the FDF
Acquisition, we entered into the WayPoint Purchase Agreement
pursuant to which we issued WayPoint one share of our
Series B Preferred Stock and 20,750 shares of Senior Series
A Redeemable Preferred Stock in Acquisition Inc. As the holder
of Series B Preferred Stock, WayPoint is entitled to
nominate two members to our board of directors.
Pursuant to the terms of the WayPoint Purchase Agreement and the
Control Warrant, we need consent from WayPoint to engage in
certain activities, including, but not limited to, incurring
further indebtedness, granting any liens on our assets,
disposing of our assets, entering into mergers, or conducting
acquisitions. Furthermore, if WayPoint exercised the Control
Warrant, such exercise would result in a change of control of us
in that the WayPoint would hold a majority of our shares which
will be enough shares to elect all of the
48
members of our board of directors and to approve any action
requiring stockholder approval, including certain mergers and
sales of substantially all of the our assets, regardless of the
votes cast by any other stockholder.
The Control Warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $0.01
per share, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the occurrence
of a default that remains uncured for seventy-five days;
provided, that payment to the holders of Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock of all amounts owing to them as a
result of a default shall not be considered a cure of a default;
(ii) the date on which a change of control occurs, if
Acquisition Inc. is not able to redeem all of the Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock in accordance with its
terms; (iii) seventy-five days after the date on which the
third Default has occurred within a consecutive twelve-month
period; and (iv) May 23, 2016, if Acquisition Inc. is
not able to redeem all of the Senior Series A Redeemable
Preferred Stock in accordance with its terms (the
Default Conditions). The term
default includes 14 categories of events,
which are listed in Section 11.1 of the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement and which list includes, among other events,
(i) the failure of Acquisition Inc. to timely make a
redemption payment to holders of the Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock, (ii) the failure of Acquisition
Inc. to timely make a dividend payment to holders of the Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, (iii) the failure
of ours or Acquisition Inc. to perform covenants in the WayPoint
Purchase Agreement, (iv) the failure of us to meet a
fixed-charge coverage ratio, leverage ratio or minimum EBITDA
test in the WayPoint Purchase Agreement; (v) we or any of
its subsidiaries becomes in default on other indebtedness,
individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000;
(vi) us, Acquisition Inc. or any Francis Group entity
becomes subject to bankruptcy or receivership proceedings,
(vii) a judgment or judgments is entered against us,
Acquisition Inc. or any Francis Group entity in excess of
$1,000,000, and such judgment is not satisfied; (viii) we,
Acquisition Inc. or any Francis Group entity breaches a
representation or warranty in the WayPoint Purchase Agreement or
the documents related thereto; (ix) a Change of Control
occurs; and (x) certain liabilities in excess of $250,000
arise under ERISA. Change of Control means
(i) a sale of shares of our stock, Acquisition Inc. or any
Francis Group entity, or a merger involving any of them, as a
result of which holders of the voting capital stock of the
applicable entity immediately prior to such transaction do not
hold at least 50% of the voting power of the applicable entity
or the resulting or surviving entity or the acquiring entity;
(ii) a disposition of all or substantially all of our
assets, Acquisition Inc. or any Francis Group entity;
(iii) a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding up by us, Acquisition Inc. or any Francis Group
entity; (iv) either Michael K. Galvis or Michael G. Francis
shall sell at least five percent (5%) of our equity held by him
immediately prior to such sale; (v) Michael K. Galvis
ceases to be our Chief Executive Officer and is not replaced by
a candidate suitable to WayPoint within 30 days or any such
replacement Chief Executive Officer ceases to be our Chief
Executive Officer and is not replaced by a candidate suitable to
WayPoint within 30 days; or (vi) Michael G. Francis
ceases to be the Chief Executive Officer of FDF and is not
replaced by a candidate suitable to WayPoint within 30 days
or any such replacement Chief Executive Officer ceases to be our
Chief Executive Officer of FDF and is not replaced by a
candidate suitable to WayPoint within 30 days.
On April 13, 2011, we received a letter from PNC, as
lender, notifying us of the existence of certain events of
default under our Senior Facility. Similarly, on April 14,
2011 we received a similar notice of Default from WayPoint,
stating we are in Default of the WayPoint Purchase Agreement,
and, therefore, that WayPoint possesses the right to exercise
the Control Warrant. If WayPoint exercises the Control Warrant,
they would own 51% of our outstanding Common Stock. We are
currently in negotiations with WayPoint to remedy the Events of
Default and modify the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. However,
there are no assurances that we will be successful in our
negotiations with WayPoint or that the terms will be
satisfactory to us.
On May 4, 2011, WayPoint provided formal written notice
(Put Notice) to the Company of its
election to cause the Company to repurchase (i) the
WayPoint Warrants that, in the aggregate, allow WayPoint to
purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to 51% of
the fully diluted Common Stock then outstanding, (ii) the
20,750 shares of Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock of Acquisition Inc. owned by WayPoint, and (iii) one
share of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company owned by
WayPoint, for an aggregate purchase price of $30,000,000 within
five business days following the date of the Put Notice. The
Company did not have the funds available to satisfy this Put
Notice in a timely manner, but continues to negotiate with
WayPoint to remedy the defaults and resolve WayPoints
demands in the Put Notice. As a result, WayPoint may seek
certain remedies afforded to them under the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement
49
including the exercise of their Purchaser and Control Warrants.
However, there are no assurances that the Company will be
successful in these negotiations, and WayPoint has reserved all
other rights, remedies, actions and powers to which WayPoint may
be entitled.
On November 23, 2010, WayPoint nominated Thomas W.
Drechsler and John Henry Moulton to serve on our board of
directors. On May 9, 2011, Mr. Drechsler and
Mr. Moulton resigned from our board of directors and
WayPoint elected Mr. Moulton as an observer to our board in
accordance with the WayPoint Purchase Agreement.
WayPoint also, on May 9, 2011, exercised its right, as a
result of the defaults, as sole holder of Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock of Acquisition Inc. to increase the
number of directors constituting the board of directors of
Acquisition Inc. from four to five, and designated Mr. J.J.
Schickel, Jr. to fill this newly created vacancy.
Mr. Schickel served in this capacity until May 20,
2011, when WayPoint replaced Mr. Schickel with Mr. Lee
Buchwald. As of June 30, 2011, the board of Acquisition
Inc. includes Messrs. Conte, Galvis, Moulton, Drechsler and
Buchwald. By virtue of having the right, and having exercised
the right, to designate a majority of the board of directors of
our subsidiary, Acquisition Inc., WayPoint may be deemed to have
control over Acquisition Inc.
On May 10, 2011, the newly constituted board of Acquisition
Inc. voted to remove Michael Galvis as president and Kenneth
Conte as chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary of
both Oaks and FDF and replace them with Mike Francis as
president and Jude Gregory as chief financial officer, treasurer
and secretary. Also on May 10, 2011, the board of
Acquisition Inc. voted to remove all directors and managers, as
applicable, of Oaks and FDF, and replace them with
Messrs. Moulton, Drechsler, Galvis, Schickel and Conte as
the sole directors and managers, as applicable.
Mr. Schickel served in this capacity until May 20,
2011, when WayPoint replaced Mr. Schickel with Mr. Lee
Buchwald.

DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
Below is a general description of our capital stock.
Common
Stock
We are authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of our Common
Stock. As of June 30, 2011, approximately
26,379,666 shares of our Common Stock were issued and
outstanding. However, we have reserved an additional
55,668,502 shares of Common Stock to satisfy exercise and
conversion of outstanding warrants, debentures, and preferred
stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and
not subject to further calls or assessments.
Each stockholder of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote for
each share of Common Stock held on all matters to be voted on by
stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation precludes
cumulative voting in elections of directors. However, WayPoint,
as the holder of the one outstanding share of our Series B
Preferred Stock issued in connection with our acquisition of
FDF, has the right to designate two members of our board of
directors. Further, in the event of an occurrence of default
that remains uncured for seventy-five (75) days WayPoint
may, at anytime thereafter increase the number of directors
constituting our board up to that number of directors that would
give WayPoint control of a majority of the Board, and to
designate such additional directors to the Board. For more
information about WayPoint, and the Series B Preferred
Stock, see Transactions with Related Persons and Certain
Control Persons, on page 48 herein.
We have not historically and do not currently anticipate that we
will declare or pay cash dividends on our Common Stock in the
foreseeable future. We will pay dividends on our Common Stock
only if and when declared by our board of directors. The ability
of our Board of directors to declare a dividend is subject to
restrictions imposed by Delaware law and under our financing
arrangements, including our Series A and Series B
Preferred Stock. Additionally, we may not pay a dividend on our
Common Stock until we are current in dividends payable on our
Series A Preferred Stock, as discussed more fully above under
the Risk Factor, Our indebtedness and other payment
obligations could restrict our operations and make us more
vulnerable to adverse economic conditions. In
determining whether to declare dividends, our board of directors
will consider these restrictions as well as our financial
condition, results of operations, working capital requirements,
future prospects and other factors it considers relevant.
The holder of our Series B Preferred Stock may exercise
certain warrants that would have an immediate and substantial
dilutive effect to existing and future holders of our Common
Stock. The holder of our Series B Preferred Stock also
possesses (i) the Purchaser Warrant and (ii) the Control
Warrant, so that, measured at the time of exercise, the number
of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the
Purchaser Warrant and the Control Warrant represents 51% of our
outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis. The Control
Warrant becomes exercisable only if certain default conditions
are met.
On April 13, 2011, we received a letter from PNC, as
lender, notifying us of the existence of certain events of
default under our Senior Facility. Similarly, on April 14,
2011 we received a similar notice of default from WayPoint,
stating we are in default of the WayPoint Purchase Agreement,
and, therefore, that WayPoint possesses the right to exercise
the Control Warrant. If WayPoint exercises the Control Warrant,
they would own 51% of our outstanding Common Stock. We are
currently in negotiations with WayPoint to remedy the events of
default and modify the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. However,
there are no assurances that we will be successful in our
negotiations with WayPoint or that the terms will be
satisfactory to us.
On May 4, 2011, WayPoint provided formal written notice
(Put Notice) to the Company of its
election to cause the Company to repurchase (i) the
WayPoint Warrants that, in the aggregate, allow WayPoint to
purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to 51% of
the fully diluted Common Stock then outstanding, (ii) the
20,750 shares of Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock of Acquisition Inc. owned by WayPoint, and (iii) one
share of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company owned by
WayPoint, for an aggregate purchase price of $30,000,000 within
five business days following the date of the Put Notice. The
Company did not have the funds available to satisfy this Put
Notice in a timely manner, but continues to negotiate with
WayPoint to remedy the defaults and resolve WayPoints
demands in the Put Notice. As a
55
result, WayPoint may seek certain remedies afforded to them
under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement including the exercise of
their Purchaser and Control Warrants. However, there are no
assurances that the Company will be successful in these
negotiations, and WayPoint has reserved all other rights,
remedies, actions and powers to which WayPoint may be entitled.
If we were to liquidate, dissolve, or wind up, the holders of
the Common Stock would be entitled to receive, pro rata, our net
assets remaining after we satisfy our obligations to creditors
and preferred equity holders, if any. Under our Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, we have eliminated the potential
liability of our directors to us, and we are also required to
indemnify our directors against any liability for monetary
damages, to the extent allowed by Delaware law and subject to
additional contractual obligations. See Disclosure
of Commission Position on Indemnification For Securities Act
Liabilities on page 60 of this prospectus.
The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Its
telephone number is
(212) 509-4000.
Preferred
Stock
We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, $0.001 par value per share. Our certificate of
incorporation, authorizes our board of directors to issue
preferred stock from time to time with such designations,
preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers,
restrictions, dividends or limitations as to dividends or other
distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of
redemption as shall be determined by the board of directors for
each class or series of stock subject to the provisions of our
certificate of incorporation.
Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred
stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely
affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common
Stock.
Series A
Preferred Stock
On November 19, 2010, our board of directors designated
6,300,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A
Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2011, 6,000,000 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding,
provided, however, certain outstanding warrants entitle holders
thereof to purchase 240,000 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject
to a cashless exercise feature.
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of
our Common Stock based on a one to one conversion ratio, at an
initial conversion price of $1.00 per share, subject to
adjustment. The holders of our Series A Preferred Stock
have voting rights on an as-if-converted basis with our Common
Stock, except as otherwise required by Delaware law. In
addition, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock
are outstanding, we cannot, without the written consent of the
holders of 66.66% of the then outstanding Series A
Preferred Stock: (i) alter or change adversely the powers,
preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock
or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation in respect of
the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) authorize or create
any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of
assets upon our liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu
with the Series A Preferred Stock, or any series of
preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to
convert at a more favorable price than the Series A
Preferred Stock, (iii) amend our Certificate of
incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the
provisions hereof, (iv) increase the authorized number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock or the number of
authorized shares of Preferred Stock, or (v) enter into any
agreement with respect to the foregoing. In the event of our
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out
of our assets available therefore, an amount in cash equal to
$1.50 per share of Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued
and unpaid dividends. No distribution shall be made on any
junior securities by reason of our liquidation unless each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received all
amounts in full to which such holder shall be entitled. The
Series A Preferred Stock holders are entitled to receive
dividends payable at the rate of 9% of the purchase price of
each share of Series A Preferred Stock, payable quarterly.
The Series A Preferred Stock also contains limitations on
exercise of conversion rights, including the limitation that the
holders may not convert their shares to the extent that upon
exercise the holder, together with its affiliates, would own in
excess of 4.9% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Series B
Preferred Stock
Our Series B Preferred Stock consists of one authorized
share, that was issued to WayPoint, and provides the holder
thereof the right to designate two members of our board of
directors. In addition, upon the occurrence of a default of the
WayPoint Purchase Agreement, the holder may cause us to expand
the number of members of our board of directors, and elect such
additional directors, so that the holder is able to designate a
majority of our board of directors.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The offering by the Selling Security Holders may start as soon
as the registration statement to which this prospectus relates
is declared effective. The Selling Security Holders may offer
all or part of their shares for resale from time to time through
public or private transactions, at either prevailing market
prices or at privately negotiated prices. The Selling Security
Holders may sell our Common Stock in the
over-the-counter
market, or on any securities exchange on which our Common Stock
becomes listed or traded, in negotiated transactions or
otherwise. The shares will not be sold in an underwritten public
offering. The shares may be sold directly or through brokers or
dealers. The methods by which the shares may be sold include:
|
|
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
|
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
applicable exchange;
|
|
|
|
privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
|
|
short sales;
|
|
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Security Holders to
sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per
share;
|
|
|
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
|
|
|
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The Selling Security Holders may also sell shares of our Common
Stock under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if
available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Security Holders may
arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.
Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the
Selling Security Holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent
for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to
be negotiated. Any profits on the resale of shares of Common
Stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to
be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities
Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling
expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be
borne by the Selling Security Holders. The Selling Security
Holders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or
broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales
of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under
the Securities Act.
The Selling Security Holders and any broker-dealers or agents
that are involved in selling the shares of Common Stock may be
deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the
Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the shares of Common Stock purchased by
them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act.
The Selling Security Holders may from time to time pledge or
grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common
Stock owned by them. If they default in the performance of their
secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer
and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time under this
57
prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus
under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the
Securities Act supplementing or amending the list of Selling
Security Holders to include the pledgees, transferees or other
successors in interest as Selling Security Holders under this
prospectus.
The Selling Security Holders also may transfer the shares of
Common Stock, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other
successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for
purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of Common
Stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have
filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3)
or other applicable provision of the Securities Act
supplementing or amending the list of Selling Security Holders
to include the pledgees, transferees or other successors in
interest as Selling Security Holders under this prospectus.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
the conversion of the securities held by the Selling Security
Holders. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Security
Holders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities,
including liabilities relating the registration of their shares
of Common Stock under the Securities Act.
We are not aware of any Selling Security Holders entering into
any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any
underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their
shares of Common Stock, nor are we aware of an underwriter or
coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of
shares of Common Stock. If we are notified by any Selling
Security Holder that any material arrangement has been entered
into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of Common
Stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this
prospectus. If the Selling Security Holders use this prospectus
for any sale of the shares of Common Stock, they will be subject
to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the
Exchange Act may apply to sales of our Common Stock and
activities of the Selling Security Holders.
LEGAL
MATTERS
Certain legal matters relating to the validity of the securities
offered by this prospectus will be passed on for us by
Strasburger & Price, LLP, Dallas, Texas.
INTERESTS
OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
No expert or our counsel was hired on a
contingent basis, or will receive a direct or indirect interest
in us, or was a promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director,
officer, or employee of the company, at any time prior to the
filing of this registration statement.
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our
business, a description of certain additional material
litigation follows:
On August 26, 2010, two suits were filed by Kevin Audrain
and Lori Audrain d/b/a Drain Oil Company
(Plaintiffs) against NYTEX Energy, one
as Cause No. 39360 in the 84th District Court in
Hutchinson County, Texas, and the other as Cause
No. 10-122
in the 69th District Court in Moore County, Texas. Both
suits were filed by Plaintiffs and both relate to 75.0% of
certain producing oil and gas leaseholds in those counties of
the Texas panhandle (the Panhandle Field Producing
Property). On August 1, 2009, NYTEX Petroleum
acquired and assumed operations of the Panhandle Field Producing
Property from Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs allege that NYTEX
Petroleum did not engage in a well re-completion (refrac)
operation as required by the purchase document between
Plaintiffs and NYTEX Petroleum (the Purchase
Document). As a result of this alleged lack of
performance, Plaintiffs believe they are entitled to pursue
repurchase of the Panhandle Field Producing Property in
accordance with a buyback provision set forth in the Purchase
Document. The Company believed that NYTEX Petroleum had
performed as required, and that these lawsuits are wholly
without merit and frivolous. The Company had filed answers to
both suits and intended to vigorously defend
58
itself in these actions. On May 9, 2011, effective
May 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Compromise
Settlement Agreement and Release of All Claims agreement (the
Settlement) with the Plaintiffs
whereby both parties reached a full and final settlement of all
claims to both suits. In exchange for the release of all claims
to both suits, concurrent with the Settlement, the Company
entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement whereby the Company
sold its entire interest in the Panhandle Field Producing
Property to the Plaintiffs for the purchase price of $782,000,
resulting in a loss on litigation settlement totaling $965,065
for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

WayPoint Nytex, LLC, holds a Purchaser Warrant and a Control
Warrant. The Purchaser Warrant entitles WayPoint to purchase
that number of shares of Common Stock to equal 35% of the then
outstanding shares of our Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis.
The Control Warrant allows WayPoint the right to purchase a
sufficient number of shares of our Common Stock at $0.01 per
share so that, measured at the time of exercise, the number of
shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the
WayPoint Warrants represent 51% of our outstanding Common Stock
on a fully-diluted basis. This Control Warrant is exercisable
because of the existence of certain default conditions set forth
in the WayPoint Purchase Agreement, as more fully set forth
under Transactions with Related Persons and Certain
Control Persons on page 48. WayPoint Nytex,
LLC has shared voting power of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Warrant and the Control
Warrant with John Henry Moulton, former Director of NYTEX. |
|
|
|
(2) |
|
The shares are held of record by Buccel, LLC, a wholly owned
company of Richard Buccellato. |
Changes
In Control
Because of the occurrence of certain events of Default, WayPoint
has the right to exercise the Control Warrant, and thereby
purchase, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, the amount of
shares of our Common Stock necessary for WayPoint to be the
beneficial owner of 51% of the shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding at the time of exercise. For more information on
WayPoint, the Control Warrant and the possible change in
control, see Transactions with Related Persons and
Certain Control Persons on page 48.
DISCLOSURE
OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Limitations
on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and
Officers
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
DGCL) authorizes Delaware
corporations, like us, to limit or eliminate the personal
liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders
for monetary damages for breaches of directors fiduciary
duties. Our bylaws include a provision that eliminates the
personal liability of our directors and officers for losses
sustained by us, except to the extent such losses have resulted
from such directors or officers own willful
misconduct, willful neglect or negligence.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals against expenses (including attorneys fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in
which such person is made a party or who is threatened to be
made a party by reason of such person being or having been a
director, officer, employee of or agent to the corporation. The
statute provides that it is not exclusive of other rights to
which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision that
requires us to indemnify each of our directors and officers to
the fullest extent allowed by the Delaware law. Our bylaws also
include a provision that
60
requires us to indemnify each of our directors and officers
against all reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities
(including reasonable attorneys fees) actually and
necessarily incurred by such person in connection with any
claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or inquiry by
reason of such person being or having been our director or
officer, except in relation to matters as to which such person
is adjudged to be liable for willful misconduct, willful neglect
or negligence in the performance of such persons duties.
In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements
with each of our directors. The indemnification agreements
provide for indemnification of each director to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law against all expenses,
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any claim,
action, suit, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, by reason of
such person being our director, including, without limitation,
all liability arising out of the negligence or active or passive
wrongdoing of such person. The only limitation under the
indemnification agreements is that we are not obligated to make
any payments to a director that are determined to not be
permitted by law.
We also carry directors and officers insurance
providing indemnification for our directors, officers and
certain employees for some liabilities. We believe that these
indemnification provisions and insurance are useful to attract
and retain qualified directors and executive officers.
Insofar as the foregoing provisions may permit indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 for our
directors or officers or other persons who control us, we have
been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is
therefore unenforceable.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in
our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the
indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our
directors may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit
against our directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary
duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the
likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and
officers, even though such an action, if successful, might
otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your
investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the
costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and
officers pursuant to the above indemnification provisions.

NATURE OF
BUSINESS
|
NYTEX Energy Holdings, Inc. (NYTEX Energy) is an
energy holding company with operations centralized in two
wholly-owned subsidiaries, NYTEX Petroleum, Inc. (NYTEX
Petroleum), an exploration and production company
concentrating on the acquisition and development of crude oil
and natural gas reserves, and Francis Drilling Fluids, Ltd.,
(Francis Drilling Fluids, or FDF), a
full-service provider of drilling, completion, and specialized
fluids, dry drilling and completion products, technical
services, industrial cleaning services, transportation, storage
and handling of liquid and dry drilling products, and equipment
rental for the oil and gas industry. On November 23, 2010,
through our newly-formed and wholly-owned subsidiary, NYTEX FDF
Acquisition, Inc. (Acquisition Inc.), we acquired
100% of the membership interests of Francis Oaks, LLC
(Oaks) and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary,
FDF (together with Oaks, the Francis Group). The
Francis Group has no other assets or operations other than FDF
(See Note 4). NYTEX Energy and subsidiaries are
collectively referred to herein as the Company,
we, us, and our.
Liquidity
and Events of Default
Our loan agreements generally stipulate that we comply with
certain reporting and financial covenants. These covenants
include among other things, providing the lender, within set
time periods, with financial information, notifying the lender
of any change in management, limitations on the amount of
capital expenditures, and maintaining certain financial ratios.
As a result of the challenges incurred in integrating the FDF
operations and due to higher than anticipated capital
expenditures at FDF, we were unable to meet several reporting
and financial covenants under our senior revolving credit and
term loan facility (Senior Facility) with PNC Bank
measured as of November 30, 2010 and February 28,
2011. Failure to meet the loan covenants under the loan
agreement constitutes a default and on April 13, 2011, PNC
Bank, as lender, provided us with a formal written notice of
default. PNC Bank did not commence the exercise of any of their
respective other rights and remedies, but expressly reserved all
such rights. At March 31, 2011, the outstanding principal
balance of the amounts owed under the Senior Facility was
$17,125,302, and is, because of this default, reported within
current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. We are currently
in negotiations with the lender to remedy the defaults which
include managements plans to enhance our current liquidity
through delaying or stopping capital expenditures through the
first half of 2011 and improvements to the results of
operations. However, there are no assurances that we will be
successful in our negotiations with PNC Bank.
In addition, due to cross-default provisions and other covenant
requirements, we are also in default under the Preferred Stock
and Warrant Purchase Agreement (WayPoint Purchase
Agreement) with WayPoint Nytex LLC (WayPoint).
On April 14, 2011, WayPoint provided us with a formal
written notice of default under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement.
The amount reported on our consolidated balance sheet as of
March 31, 2011 related to the WayPoint Purchase Agreement
includes a derivative liability totaling $46,340,000, which is
reported within current liabilities on our consolidated balance
sheet.
On May 4, 2011, WayPoint provided formal written notice
(Put Notice) to the Company of its election to cause
the Company to repurchase (i) warrants issued to WayPoint
that, in the aggregate, allow WayPoint to purchase that number
of shares of the Companys common stock to equal 51% of the
Companys fully diluted capital stock then outstanding,
(ii) the 20,750 shares of Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock of Acquisition Inc. owned by
WayPoint, and (iii) one share of Series B Preferred
Stock of the Company owned by WayPoint, for an aggregate
purchase price of $30,000,000 within five business days
following the date of the Put Notice. The Company did not have
the funds available to satisfy this Put Notice in a timely
manner, but continues to negotiate with WayPoint to remedy the
defaults and resolve WayPoints demands in the Put Notice.
As a result, WayPoint may seek certain remedies afforded to them
under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement including the exercise of
their warrants. However, there are no assurances that the
Company will
F-6
NYTEX
ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
be successful in these negotiations, and WayPoint has reserved
all other rights, remedies, actions and powers to which WayPoint
may be entitled.
We cannot be certain that our existing sources of cash will be
adequate to meet our liquidity requirements including cash
requirements that may be due under either the Senior Facility or
the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. However, management has
implemented plans to improve liquidity through slowing or
stopping certain planned capital expenditures, through the sale
of selected assets deemed unnecessary to our business, and
improvements to results from operations. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful with our plans or that our
results of operations will materially improve in either the
short-term or long-term and accordingly, we may be unable to
meet our obligations as they become due.
A fundamental principle of the preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles is the assumption that an entity will continue in
existence as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of
operations and the realization of assets and settlement of
liabilities occurring in the ordinary course of business. This
principle is applicable to all entities except for entities in
liquidation or entities for which liquidation appears imminent.
In accordance with this requirement, our policy is to prepare
our consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis
unless we intend to liquidate or have no other alternative but
to liquidate. Our consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis and do not reflect any
adjustments that might specifically result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
|
|
NOTE 2.
|
PRINCIPLES
OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
The consolidated financial statements and related notes have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for
interim financial information. These financial statements
include the accounts of NYTEX Energy and entities in which it
holds a controlling interest. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in non-controlled entities over which we have the
ability to exercise significant influence over operating and
financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. In
applying the equity method of accounting, the investments are
initially recognized at cost, and subsequently adjusted for our
proportionate share of earnings and losses and distributions.
The interim financial data as of March 31, 2011 and for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is unaudited; in
the opinion of management, the interim data includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods. The consolidated results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have
been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and related notes thereto as filed in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2010. Certain prior-period
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year
presentation.
All references to the Companys outstanding common shares
and per share information have been adjusted to give effect to
the
one-for-two
reverse stock split effective November 1, 2010.
Inventory consists of dry materials used in mixing oilfield
drilling fluids and liquid drilling fluids mixed and ready for
delivery to the drilling rig location. The dry materials are
carried at the lower of cost or market, principally on the
first-in,
first-out basis. The liquid drilling materials are valued at
standard cost which approximates actual cost on a
first-in,
first-out basis, not to exceed market value. Inventories
amounted to

$1,296,719 and $1,237,149 at March 31, 2011 and

BUSINESS
COMBINATION
|
On November 23, 2010, through our newly-formed and
wholly-owned subsidiary, Acquisition Inc., we acquired 100% of
the membership interests of Oaks and its wholly-owned operating
subsidiary, FDF. Total consideration transferred was
$51.8 million and consisted of cash of $41.3 million,
5.4 million shares of NYTEX Energy common stock at an
estimated fair value of $1.86 per share, or $10 million,
and a non-interest bearing promissory note payable to the seller
in the principal amount of $0.7 million with a fair value
of $0.5 million.
FDF is a full-service provider of drilling, completion, and
specialized fluids, dry drilling and completion products,
technical services, industrial cleaning services, and equipment
rental for the oil and gas industry. Headquartered in Crowley,
Louisiana, FDF operates out of 21 locations in five
U.S. states. Our acquisition of FDF makes us a more
diversified energy company by providing a broader range of
products and services to the oil & gas industry. FDF
contributed revenues totaling $18,551,902 and a loss before
income taxes of $363,884 to our consolidated statement of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

relationships. We also have trade name intangible assets
associated with FDF that are not subject to amortization, which
have a carrying balance of $4,760,000 as of March 31, 2011
and December 31, 2010. We did not have any such intangible
assets prior to our acquisition of FDF.

WAYPOINT
TRANSACTION
|
In connection with the FDF acquisition, on November 23,
2010, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Acquisition Inc.,
entered into a Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement
(WayPoint Purchase Agreement) with WayPoint Nytex,
LLC (WayPoint,), an unaffiliated third party,
whereby, in exchange for $20,000,001 cash, we issued to WayPoint
(collectively, the WayPoint Transaction)
(i) 20,750 shares of Acquisition Inc. 14% Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001
and an original stated amount of $1,000 per share (Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock), (ii) one
share of NYTEX Energy Series B Preferred Stock, par value
of $0.001 per share, (iii) a warrant to purchase at $0.01
per share up to 35% of the then outstanding shares of the
Companys common stock (Purchaser Warrant), and
(iv) a warrant to purchase at $0.01 per share an additional
number of shares of the Companys common stock so that,
measured at the time of exercise, the number of shares of common
stock issued to WayPoint represents 51% of the Companys
outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis (Control
Warrant). The Control Warrant is exercisable upon meeting
certain conditions, as defined in the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement.
In addition, under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement, WayPoint was
granted a put right that could require us to repurchase the
Purchaser Warrant and Control Warrant from WayPoint at any time
on or after the earlier of (i) the date on which a change
of control occurs, as defined, (ii) the date on which an
event of default occurs, as defined, (iii) the date on
which we elect to redeem the Senior Series A Redeemable
Preferred Stock, and (iv) the maturity date of the Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock. The repurchase price
is equal to the greater of (a) WayPoints aggregate
equity ownership percentage in the Company as of the date the
put right is exercised, multiplied by the fair value of the
Companys common stock and (b)(1) in the event that the put
right is exercised before November 23, 2013, $30,000,000,
or (2) in the event that the put right is exercised on or
after November 23, 2013, $40,000,000.
Initial
Accounting
Under the initial accounting, we separated the instruments
issued under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement into component
parts of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock,
the Series B Preferred Stock, the Purchaser Warrant, and
the Control Warrant. We considered the put right to be
inseparable from the Purchaser Warrant and Control Warrant and
deemed them to be a derivative (each, a WayPoint Warrant
Derivative). We estimated the fair value of each component
as of the date of issuance. We initially assigned no value to
the Control Warrant as it was contingently exercisable and the
conditions for exercising had not been met. Since the WayPoint
Warrant Derivative related to the Purchaser Warrant had a fair
value in excess of the net proceeds we received in the WayPoint
Transaction at the date of issuance, no amounts were assigned to
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock in the
allocation of proceeds.
Due to the default under the WayPoint Agreement discussed below,
the conditions to exercise the Control Warrant are deemed to
have been met. Accordingly, we estimated the fair value of the
Control Warrant at March 31, 2011 to be a liability of
$17,300,000. The WayPoint Warrant Derivatives are included in
derivative liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
F-9
NYTEX
ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
Changes in fair value of the WayPoint Warrant Derivatives are
included in other income (expense) in the consolidated
statements of operations and are not taxable or deductible for
income tax purposes.
Although no amounts were initially assigned to the Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, we accrete the total
face amount, or $20,750,000, over the term of the instrument of
5.5 years as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet
and a corresponding charge to accretion expense on the
consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended
March 31, 2011, we recognized $943,182 of accretion expense
related to the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock.
Default
Under WayPoint Purchase Agreement
Due to cross-default provisions with our Senior Facility and
other covenant requirements, we are currently in default under
the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. On April 14, 2011,
WayPoint provided us with a formal written notice of default
under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. The amount reported on
our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010 related to the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement includes derivative liabilities totaling $46,340,000
and $32,554,826, which are reported within current liabilities
on our consolidated balance sheets.
On May 4, 2011, WayPoint provided formal written notice
(Put Notice) to the Company of its election to cause
the Company to (i) repurchase warrants issued to WayPoint
that, in the aggregate, allow WayPoint to purchase that number
of shares of the Companys common stock to equal 51% of the
Companys fully diluted capital stock then outstanding,
(ii) the 20,750 shares of Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock of Acquisition Inc. owned by
WayPoint, and (iii) one share of Series B Preferred
Stock of the Company owned by WayPoint, for an aggregate
purchase price of $30,000,000 within five business days
following the date of the Put Notice. The Company did not have
the funds available to satisfy this Put Notice in a timely
manner, but continues to negotiate with WayPoint to remedy the
defaults and resolve WayPoints demands in the Put Notice.
As a result, WayPoint may seek certain remedies afforded to them
under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement including the exercise of
their Purchaser and Control Warrants. However, there are no
assurances that the Company will be successful in these
negotiations, and WayPoint has reserved all other rights,
remedies, actions and powers to which WayPoint may be entitled.

The WayPoint Warrant Derivative Purchaser Warrant
and Control Warrant were initially recorded at their fair value
of $19,253,071 and $0, respectively, on the date of issuance,
November 23, 2010. At March 31, 2011, the carrying
amount of the WayPoint Warrant Derivative Purchaser
Warrant and Control Warrant were adjusted to their respective
fair value of $29,040,000 and $17,300,000, respectively, with a
corresponding charge to operations. The WayPoint Warrant
Derivatives are reported as a derivative liability
current portion on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
The agreement setting forth the terms of the warrants issued to
the holders of the Companys Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock include an anti-dilution provision that require
a reduction in the instruments exercise price should

stock be issued below the

instruments original exercise price of $2.00 per share.
Accordingly, we consider the warrants to be a derivative; and,
as a result, the fair value of the derivative is included as a
derivative liability on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Changes in fair value of the derivative liabilities are included
as a separate line item within other income (expense) in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2011, and are not taxable or
deductible for income tax purposes.

Senior
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility
In connection with the FDF acquisition, on November 23,
2010, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit and term
loan agreement (Senior Facility) with a bank
providing for loans up to $24,000,000. The Senior Facility
consists of a term loan in the amount of $12,000,000 and a
revolving credit facility in an amount up to $12,000,000. The
term loan bears an annual interest rate based on the higher of
(i) the 30 day LIBOR plus 1%, or (ii) the Fed
Funds rate plus 0.5%, plus a margin of 2.5% (3.74% at
March 31, 2011). The term loan requires monthly payments of
principal and interest based on a seven-year
F-11

Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
amortization of $142,857 with the remaining principal and any
unpaid interest due in full at maturity on November 23,
2015. The revolving credit facility bears an annual interest
rate based on the higher of (i) the 30 day LIBOR plus
1%, or (ii) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.5%, plus a margin of
1.75% (2.99% at March 31, 2011) and payments of
interest only due monthly with the then outstanding principal
and any unpaid interest due in full at maturity on
November 23, 2015. Advances under the revolving credit
facility may not exceed 85% of FDFs eligible accounts
receivable as defined in the Senior Facility agreement.
Our loan agreements generally stipulate that we comply with
certain reporting and financial covenants. These covenants
include among other things, providing the lender, within set
time periods, with financial information, notifying the lender
of any change in management, limitations on the amount of
capital expenditures, and maintaining certain financial ratios.
As a result of the challenges incurred in integrating the FDF
operations and due to higher than anticipated capital
expenditures at FDF, we were unable to meet several reporting
and financial covenants under our Senior Facility with PNC Bank
measured as of November 30, 2010 and February 28,
2011. Failure to meet the loan covenants under the loan
agreement constitutes a default and on April 13, 2011, PNC
Bank, as lender, provided us with a formal written notice of
default. PNC Bank did not commence the exercise of any of their
respective other rights and remedies, but expressly reserved all
such rights. At March 31, 2011, the outstanding principal
balance of the amounts owed under the Senior Facility was
$17,125,302, and is, because of this default, reported within
current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. We are
currently in negotiations with PNC Bank to remedy the defaults
which include managements plans to enhance our current
liquidity through delaying or stopping capital expenditures
through the first half of 2011 and improvements to our results
of operations. However, there are no assurances that we will be
successful in our negotiations with PNC Bank.
Other
In December 2010, we issued two demand notes totaling $237,000
related to our acquisition of certain oil and gas interests. The
demand notes are due and payable on February 14, 2011 or
upon demand by the holder and bear interest at a fixed rate of
9%. On February 14, 2011, we issued $973,013 of
9% Convertible Debentures (9% Convertible
Debenture) due January 2014, of which $237,000 was issued
in exchange for the demand notes due February 14, 2011.
Interest only is payable monthly at the annual rate of 9% with
any accrued and unpaid interest along with the unpaid principal
due at maturity. The 9% Convertible Debenture is
convertible into the Companys common stock at any time at
the fixed conversion price of $2.00 per share, subject to
certain adjustments including stock dividends and stock splits.
We have the option, at any time, to redeem the outstanding
9% Convertible Debentures in cash equal to 100% of the
original principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Litigation
We may become involved from time to time in litigation on
various matters, which are routine to the conduct of our
business. We believe that none of these actions, individually or
in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or operations, although any adverse decision
in these cases, or the costs of defending or settling such
claims, could have a material adverse effect on our financial
position, operations, and cash flows.
On August 26, 2010, two suits were filed by Kevin Audrain
and Lori Audrain d/b/a Drain Oil Company
(Plaintiffs) against NYTEX Energy, one as
Cause No. 39360 in the
84th
District Court in Hutchinson County, Texas, and the other as
Cause
No. 10-122
in the
69th
District Court in Moore County, Texas. Both suits were filed by
Plaintiffs and both relate to 75.0% of certain producing oil and
gas leaseholds in those counties of the Texas panhandle (the
Panhandle Field Producing Property). On
August 1, 2009, NYTEX Petroleum acquired and assumed
operations of the Panhandle Field Producing Property from
Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs allege that NYTEX Petroleum did not
engage in a well recompletion (refrac) operation as required by
the purchase document between Plaintiffs and NYTEX Petroleum
(the Purchase Document). As a result of this
alleged lack of performance, Plaintiffs believe they are
entitled to pursue repurchase of the Panhandle Field Producing
Property in accordance with a buyback provision set forth in the
Purchase Document. The Company believed that NYTEX Petroleum had
performed as required, and that these lawsuits are wholly
without merit and frivolous. The Company had filed answers to
both suits and intends to vigorously defend itself in these
actions.
On May 9, 2011, effective May 1, 2011, the Company
entered into a Compromise Settlement Agreement and Release of
All Claims agreement (the Settlement) with the
Plaintiffs whereby both parties reached a full and final
settlement of all claims to both suits. In exchange for the
release of all claims to both suits, concurrent with the
Settlement, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement whereby the Company sold its entire interest in the
Panhandle Field Producing Property to the Plaintiffs for the
purchase price of $782,000, resulting in a loss on litigation
settlement totaling $965,065 for the three months ended
March 31, 2011.

STOCKHOLDERS
EQUITY
|
The authorized capital of NYTEX Energy consists of
200 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per
share; 10 million shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share; and, one share of
Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The
holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive cumulative quarterly dividends equal to 9%
of $1.00 per share, with such dividends in preference to the
declaration or payment of any dividends to the holders of common
stock. Further, dividends on the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock are cumulative so that if any previous or
current dividend shall not have been paid, the deficiency shall
first be fully paid before any dividend is to be paid on or
declared on common stock. The holders of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock have the same voting rights and
powers as the holders of common stock.
The holder of the Series B Preferred Stock is not entitled
to receive dividends and is not entitled to any voting rights.
However, the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock is
entitled to elect two members of the Companys board of
directors.
Private
Placement Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock
In contemplation of the acquisition of FDF, in October 2010, we
initiated a private placement of units each consisting of
(i) 100,000 shares of our Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, and (ii) a warrant to purchase
30,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
$2.00 per share. Each unit was priced at $100,000. During the
three months ended March 31, 2011, we issued 4.2 units
for gross proceeds of $420,000 consisting of 420,000 shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to
purchase up to 126,000 shares of common stock. For the year
ended December 31, 2010, we issued 55.8 units for
gross proceeds of $5,580,000 consisting of 5,580,000 shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to
purchase up to 1,674,000 shares of common stock. At the
conclusion of the private placement offering in January 2011, we
had issued a total of 60 units for aggregate gross proceeds
of $6,000,000.
The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are
entitled to payment of dividends at 9% of the purchase price per
share of $1.00, with such dividends payable quarterly. Dividends
are payable out of any assets legally available, are cumulative,
and in preference to any declaration or payment of dividends to
the holders of common stock. Each holder of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock may, at any time, convert their
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares
of common stock at an initial conversion ratio of
one-to-one.
Dividends payable related to the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock totaled $132,900 at March 31, 2011, and are
reported in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheet
at March 31, 2011.
Warrants
In connection with the private placement offering of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, during the three
months ended March 31, 2011, we issued warrants to the
holders to purchase up to 126,000 shares of common stock at
an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The warrants may be
exercised for a period of three years from the date of grant.
The aggregate fair value of the warrants issued during the three
months ended March 31, 2011 was $118,440, was determined
using a Monte Carlo simulation, and was accounted for as a
derivative liability on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.
In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2011,
we issued warrants to purchase up to 16,800 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the placement agent
of the private placement offering of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock. The warrants may be exercised for a period of
three years from date of grant at an exercise price of $1.00 per
share. The aggregate fair value of the warrants on the date of
grant was approximately $15,792 using the Monte Carlo simulation.
The fair value of warrants was determined using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Monte Carlo
simulation. The expected term of the warrant is estimated based
on the contractual term or an expected

event. The volatility assumption is estimated based on
expectations of volatility over the term of the warrant as
indicated by implied volatility. The risk-free interest rate is
based on the U.S. Treasury rate for a term commensurate
with the expected term of the warrant. The aggregate fair value
of the warrants issued during the three months ended
March 31, 2011 totaled approximately $134,200 and was
determined using the following weighted average attributes and
assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.62%, expected dividend
yield of 0%, expected term of 5.5 years, and expected
volatility of 55%. A summary of warrant activity for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

FAIR
VALUE MEASURMENTS
|
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be
received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit
price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the
asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used
to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We utilize a fair value
hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first
two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically
obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active
exchange markets involving identical assets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets
and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for
identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active;
and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and
significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing
sources for comparable instruments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs, where there
is little or no market activity for the asset or liability.
These inputs reflect the reporting entitys own beliefs
about the assumptions that market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information
available in the circumstances.
|
As discussed in Notes 6, 7, and 10, we consider certain of
our warrants to be derivatives, and, as a result, the fair value
of the derivative liabilities are reported on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. We value the derivative liabilities
using a Monte Carlo simulation which contains significant
unobservable, or Level 3, inputs. The use of valuation
techniques requires us to make various key assumptions for
inputs into the model, including assumptions about the expected
behavior of the instruments holders and expected future
volatility of the price of our common stock. At certain common
stock price points within the Monte Carlo simulation, we assume
holders of the instruments will convert into shares of our
common stock. In estimating the fair value, we estimated future
volatility by considering the historic volatility of the stock
of a selected peer group over a five year period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the fair value
of the derivative liabilities increased by an aggregate
$12,866,174 and was recorded within other income (expense) in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, and accounts payable, and accrued expenses reported
on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximates
fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of
debt is the estimated amount we would have to pay to repurchase
our debt, including any premium or discount attributable to the
difference between the stated interest rate and market rate of
interest at each balance sheet date. Debt fair values are based
on quoted market prices for identical instruments, if available,
or based on valuations of similar debt instruments. As of
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we estimate the
fair value of our debt to be $23,372,958 and $23,738,511,
respectively. We estimate the fair value of our Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock to be $20,750,000 as of
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Income tax benefit was $412,284 for the three months ended
March 31, 2011, as compared to no income tax provision for
the three months ended March 31, 2010. The change in income
tax benefit in the first quarter of 2011, compared to the first
quarter of 2010, was primarily the result of our acquisition of
FDF and related differences in the mix of our pre-tax earnings
and losses. At March 31, 2011, we had deferred income tax
assets of $13,286,808 and a valuation allowance of $12,522,931
resulting in an estimated recoverable amount of deferred income
tax assets of $763,877. This reflects a net increase of the
valuation allowance of $3,398,906 from the December 31,
2010 balance of $9,124,025.
The balances of the valuation allowance as of March 31,
2011 and December 31, 2010 were $12,522,931 and $9,124,025,
respectively. The anticipated effective income tax rate is
expected to continue to differ from the Federal statutory rate
of 34% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes,
permanent differences between book and taxable income, changes
to the valuation allowance, and certain discrete items.
Loss per common share is calculated by dividing the loss
applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. We have determined that the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock represents a
participating security because holders of the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock have rights to participate in any
dividends on an as-converted basis; therefore, basic earnings
per common share is calculated consistent with the provisions of
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or the
Codification) Subtopic
260-45
Participating Securities and the Two Class Method.
The following table reconciles net loss and common shares
outstanding used in the calculations of basic and diluted loss
per share. Because holders of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock do not participate in losses,
2,774,194 shares of common stock equivalents were excluded
from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for
the three months ended March 31, 2011. Further, because a
net loss was incurred during the three months ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010, dilutive instruments including the
warrants and convertible
F-16
NYTEX
ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to

Statements (Continued)
debentures produce an antidilutive net loss per share result.
These excluded shares totaled 24,672,845 and 0 for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Therefore, the diluted loss per share reported in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are the same as the
basic loss per share amounts.

SEGMENT
INFORMATION
|
Our primary business segments are vertically integrated within
the oil and gas industry. These segments are separately managed
due to distinct operational differences and unique technology,
distribution, and marketing requirements. Our two reportable
operating segments are oil and gas exploration and production
and oilfield services. The oil and gas exploration and
production segment explores for and produces natural gas, crude
oil, condensate, and NGLs. The oilfield services segment, which
consists solely of the operations of FDF, provides drilling,
completion, and specialized fluids, dry drilling and completion
products, technical services, industrial cleaning services,
transportation, storage and handling of liquid and dry drilling
products, and equipment rental for the oil and gas industry.
The following tables present selected financial information of
our operating segments for the three months ended March 31,
2011. Information presented below as Corporate and
Intersegment Eliminations includes results from operating
activities that are not considered operating segments, as well
as corporate and certain financing activities. Prior to the
acquisition of FDF, we operated as a single segment enterprise.
Accordingly, we do not present segment information for the three
months ended March 31, 2010.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we had two
customers that accounted for more than 10% of our total
consolidated revenues: BJ Services 17% and
Halliburton Energy Services 13%.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of directors and Stockholders of
NYTEX Energy Holdings, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
NYTEX Energy Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
Company), as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and
the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of
its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a
basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of NYTEX Energy Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries, as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company is
not in compliance with certain loan covenants related to two
debt agreements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Managements plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future
effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1.
|
NATURE OF
BUSINESS
|
NYTEX Energy Holdings, Inc. (NYTEX Energy) is an
energy holding company with operations centralized in two
wholly-owned subsidiaries, NYTEX Petroleum, Inc. (NYTEX
Petroleum), an exploration and production company
concentrating on the acquisition and development of crude oil
and natural gas reserves, and Francis Drilling Fluids, Ltd.,
(Francis Drilling Fluids, or FDF), a
full-service provider of drilling, completion, and specialized
fluids, dry drilling and completion products, technical
services, industrial cleaning services, and equipment rental for
the oil and gas industry. On September 8, 2010, we
completed the disposition of our noncontrolling interest in
Supreme Vacuum Services, Inc., an oilfield fluid service company
specializing in drilling and production fluids transportation,
sales, and storage. On November 23, 2010, through our
newly-formed and wholly-owned subsidiary, NYTEX FDF Acquisition,
Inc. (Acquisition Inc.), we acquired 100% of the
membership interests of Francis Oaks, LLC (Oaks) and
its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, FDF (together with Oaks,
the Francis Group). The Francis Group has no other
assets or operations other than FDF (See Note 6). NYTEX
Energy and subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as
the Company, we, us, and
our.
NYTEX Energy, formerly known as Clear Sight Holdings, Inc.
(Clear Sight), is a Delaware corporation originally
incorporated on January 19, 1988 as Kismet, Inc.
(Kismet); Kismet was renamed Clear Sight on
October 16, 2006. NYTEX Energy conducted no operations
until October 31, 2008, at which time its newly-formed and
wholly-owned subsidiary, NYTEX Petroleum, a Delaware
corporation, acquired the business and operations of NYTEX
Petroleum, LLC (NYTEX Petroleum LLC), a Texas
limited liability company. In the exchange, all of the NYTEX
Petroleum LLC members transferred their membership units of
NYTEX Petroleum LLC to NYTEX Petroleum in exchange for Common
Stock shares of NYTEX Energy (parent company of NYTEX
Petroleum). For accounting purposes this combination was treated
as a reverse acquisition, with NYTEX Petroleum LLC
treated as the acquiring company. After the exchange, the former
NYTEX Petroleum LLC members owned 25,979,207 shares and two
executives owned 4,053,700 shares (collectively 93%) of the
outstanding Common Stock of NYTEX Energy. The remaining
2,254,087 shares (7%) were owned by the pre-stock exchange
NYTEX Energy shareholders and are reflected as an exchange of
Common Stock shares.
NYTEX Petroleum LLC, originally formed on March 21, 2006,
focused on fee-based administration and management services
related to oil and gas properties, while also engaging in the
acquisition, promotion of and participation in the drilling of
crude oil and natural gas wells. NYTEX Petroleum will continue
its fee-based energy services for existing and future energy
funds, with the planned growth focusing primarily on exploration
and production.
As more fully described in Note 6, through our wholly-owned
subsidiary Supreme Oilfield Services, Inc. (Supreme
Oilfield), a holding company for our investment in Supreme
Vacuum Services, Inc. (Supreme Vacuum), we disposed
of our noncontrolling interest in Supreme Vacuum on
September 8, 2010.
NYTEX Energy and its wholly owned subsidiaries are headquartered
in Dallas, Texas.
Liquidity
and Events of Default
Our loan agreements generally stipulate that we comply with
certain reporting and financial covenants. These covenants
include among other things, providing the lender, within set
time periods, with financial information, notifying the lender
of any change in management, limitations on the amount of
capital expenditures, and maintaining certain financial ratios.
As a result of the challenges incurred in integrating the FDF
operations and due to higher than anticipated capital
expenditures at FDF, we were unable to meet several reporting
and financial covenants under our senior revolving credit and
term loan facility (Senior Facility) with PNC Bank
measured as of November 30, 2010 and February 28,
2011. Failure to meet the loan covenants under the loan
agreement constitutes a default and on April 13, 2011, PNC
Bank, as lender, provided us with

a formal written notice of default. PNC Bank did not commence
the exercise of any of their respective other rights and
remedies, but expressly reserved all such rights. At
December 31, 2010, the outstanding principal balance of the
amounts owed under the Senior Facility was $17,752,723, and is,
because of this default, reported within current liabilities on
the consolidated balance sheet. We are currently in negotiations
with the lender to remedy the defaults which include
managements plans to enhance our current liquidity through
delaying or stopping capital expenditures through the first half
of 2011 and improvements to the results of operations. However,
there are no assurances that we will be successful in our
negotiations with PNC Bank.
In addition, due to cross-default provisions and other covenant
requirements, we are also in default under the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement. The amount reported on our consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 2010 related to the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement includes a derivative liability totaling $32,554,826,
which is reported within current liabilities on our consolidated
balance sheet. As a result, WayPoint may seek certain remedies
afforded to them under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement including
(i) declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock due and payable,
(ii) exercise their Control Warrant, or (iii) exercise
their put right. We are currently in negotiations with WayPoint
to remedy the events of noncompliance and modify the loan
agreement. However, there are no assurances that we will be
successful in our negotiations with WayPoint.
We cannot be certain that our existing sources of cash will be
adequate to meet our liquidity requirements including cash
requirements that may be due under either the Senior Facility or
the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. However, management has
implemented plans to improve liquidity through slowing or
stopping certain planned capital expenditures, through the sale
of selected assets deemed unnecessary to our business, and
improvements to results from operations. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful with our plans or that our
results of operations will materially improve in either the
short-term or long-term and accordingly, we may be unable to
meet our obligations as they become due.
A fundamental principle of the preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles is the assumption that an entity will continue in
existence as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of
operations and the realization of assets and settlement of
liabilities occurring in the ordinary course of business. This
principle is applicable to all entities except for entities in
liquidation or entities for which liquidation appears imminent.
In accordance with this requirement, our policy is to prepare
our consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis
unless we intend to liquidate or have no other alternative but
to liquidate. Our consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis and do not reflect any
adjustments that might specifically result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Principles
of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of NYTEX Energy and entities in which it holds a
controlling interest. All intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.
Investments in non-controlled entities over which we have the
ability to exercise significant influence over operating and
financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. In
applying the equity method of accounting, the investments are
initially recognized at cost, and subsequently adjusted for our
proportionate share of earnings and losses and distributions.
Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current-year presentation.
All references to the Companys outstanding common shares
and per share information have been adjusted to give effect to
the
one-for-two
reverse stock split effective November 1, 2010.

(Continued)
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an
ongoing basis, we review these estimates based on information
that is currently available. Changes in facts and circumstances
may cause us to revise our estimates.
The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition,
depreciation, depletion and amortization, the assessment of
impairment of long-lived assets and oil and gas properties,
income taxes, and fair value. Actual results could differ from
estimates under different assumptions and conditions, and such
results may affect operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We consider all demand deposits, money market accounts, and
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of
cash and cash equivalents reported on the consolidated balance
sheet approximates fair value. We maintain funds in bank
accounts which, from time to time, exceed federally insured
limits.
Accounts
Receivable
We provide credit in the normal course of business to our
customers and perform ongoing credit evaluations of those
customers. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based
on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers,
historical trends, and other information. A portion of our
receivables are from the operators of producing wells in which
we maintain ownership interests. These operators market our
share of crude oil and natural gas production. The ability to
collect is dependent upon the general economic conditions of the
purchasers/participants and the oil and gas industry. At
December 31, 2010, accounts receivable are shown net of
allowance for doubtful accounts of $21,272. We did not have an
allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2009.
Inventory
Inventory consists of dry materials used in mixing oilfield
drilling fluids and liquid drilling fluids mixed and ready for
delivery to the drilling rig location. The dry materials are
carried at the lower of cost or market, principally on the
first-in,
first-out basis. The liquid drilling materials are valued at
standard cost which approximates actual cost on a
first-in,
first-out basis, not to exceed market value. Inventories
amounted to $1,237,149 at December 31, 2010 and are
attributable to our FDF business. We did not have any inventory
at December 31, 2009.
Property,
plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost less
accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization
(DD&A). Costs of improvements that appreciably
improve the efficiency or productive capacity of existing
properties or extend their lives are capitalized. Maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or sale,
the cost of properties and equipment, net of the related
accumulated DD&A, is removed and, if appropriate, gain or
loss is recognized in the respective periods consolidated
statement of operations.
For our oil and gas properties, we follow the successful efforts
method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and development
costs. Under this method of accounting, all property acquisition
costs and costs of exploratory wells are capitalized when
incurred, pending determination of whether additional proved
F-27
NYTEX
ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)
reserves are found. If an exploratory well does not find
additional reserves, the costs of drilling the well are charged
to expense. The costs of development wells, whether productive
or nonproductive, are capitalized. Geological and geophysical
costs on exploratory prospects and the costs of carrying and
retaining unproved properties are expensed as incurred.
Long-lived
Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is
generally measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If it is determined that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized
for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
the fair value of the asset. Fair value is the estimated value
at which the asset could be bought or sold in a transaction
between willing parties. We consider projected future
undiscounted cash flows, trends, strategic decisions regarding
future development plans, and other factors in our assessment of
whether impairment conditions exist. While we believe our
estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different
assumptions regarding factors such as the price of oil and gas,
production volumes and costs, drilling activity, and economic
conditions could significantly affect these estimates.
We evaluate impairment of our oil and gas properties on a
property-by-property
basis and estimate the fair value based on discounted cash flows
expected to be generated from the production of proved reserves.
At December 31, 2009, the analysis indicated that certain
proved properties were impaired, in that their carrying value
was greater than fair value. As a result, for the year ended
December 31, 2009, the Company reduced its proved
properties value by $147,474 by recording a non-cash impairment
charge in operating expenses. We did not have any impairment
charges for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Wells
in Progress
We record a liability for funds held on behalf of outside
investors in oil and gas exploration projects, which are to be
paid to the project operator as capital expenditures are billed.
The liability is reduced as we make payments on behalf of those
outside investors to the operator of the project.
Goodwill
and Acquired Intangible Assets
We record the difference between the purchase price and the fair
value of the net assets acquired in a business combination as
goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is measured for
impairment annually, or more frequently if conditions indicate
an earlier review is necessary. If the estimated fair value of
goodwill is less than the carrying value, goodwill is impaired
and written down to its estimated fair value.
Acquired intangibles are recorded at fair value as of the date
acquired and consist of noncompete agreements, customer
relationships, and the FDF trade name. We amortize acquired
intangibles with finite lives on a straight-line basis over
estimated useful lives of 5 to 20 years, and we include the
amortization in DD&A. We evaluate the recoverability of
intangible assets annually or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that an intangible assets carrying
value may not be recoverable.
Asset
Retirement Obligations
We recognize liabilities for retirement obligations associated
with tangible long-lived assets, such as producing well sites
when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement
of such assets and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The
initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation is
recorded as a liability at its fair value, with an offsetting
asset retirement cost recorded as an increase to the associated
property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. If the
fair value of a recorded asset retirement
F-28
NYTEX
ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)
obligation changes, a revision is recorded to both the asset
retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. The asset
retirement cost is depreciated using a systematic and rational
method similar to that used for the associated property and
equipment.
Fair
Value Measurements
Certain of our assets and liabilities are measured at fair value
at each reporting date. Fair value represents the price that
would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
This price is commonly referred to as the exit price.
Fair value measurements are classified according to a hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs underlying the valuation techniques.
This hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1
inputs on the hierarchy consist of unadjusted quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the
highest priority. Level 2 measurements are based on inputs
other than quoted prices that are generally observable for the
asset or liability. Common examples of Level 2 inputs
include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in
active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and
liabilities in markets not considered to be active. Level 3
measurements have the lowest priority and are based upon inputs
that are not observable from objective sources. The most common
Level 3 fair value measurement is an internally developed
cash flow model. We use appropriate valuation techniques based
on the available inputs to measure the fair values of our assets
and liabilities. When available, we measure the fair value using
Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most
reliable evidence of fair value.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, and accounts payable, and accrued expenses reported
on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximates
fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of
debt is the estimated amount we would have to pay to repurchase
our debt, including any premium or discount attributable to the
difference between the stated interest rate and market rate of
interest at each balance sheet date. Debt fair values are based
on quoted market prices for identical instruments, if available,
or based on valuations of similar debt instruments. As of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, we estimate the fair value of
our debt to be $23,738,511 and $1,158,170, respectively. We
estimate the fair value of our Senior Series A Redeemable
Preferred Stock to be $20,750,000 as of December 31, 2010.
Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair
value include certain assets and liabilities acquired in a
business combination, intangible assets and goodwill, and asset
retirement obligations.
See Note 14 for fair value measurements included in our
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues from the sale of drilling fluid products and oilfield
services are recorded at the time products are sold or services
are provided to third parties at a fixed or determinable price,
delivery or performance has occurred, title has transferred and
collectability of the revenue is probable. We recognize revenues
for promoting certain oil and gas exploration projects and
administering the ownership interests of investors in those
projects. Administration fees are deferred on the balance sheet
as the project is undertaken. As administration services are
performed, deferred administration fees are recognized as
revenue when each discrete phase of a project is completed and
the services have been completed.
Revenues from the sales of natural gas and crude oil are
recorded when product delivery occurs and title and risk of loss
pass to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, and
collection is reasonably assured.

Share
Based Compensation
We grant share-based awards to acquire goods
and/or
services, to members of our Board of directors, and to selected
employees. All such awards are measured at fair value on the
date of grant and are recognized as a component of selling,
general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations over the applicable
requisite service periods.
Income
Taxes
We are subject to current income taxes assessed by the federal
and various state jurisdictions in the United States. In
addition, we account for deferred income taxes related to these
jurisdictions using the asset and liability method. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
are also recognized for the future tax benefits attributable to
the expected utilization of existing tax net operating loss
carryforwards and other types of carryforwards. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations
in the period that includes the enactment date.
We recognize the financial statement effects of tax positions
when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits,
that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing
authority. Recognized tax positions are initially and
subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that
is more likely than not of being realized upon ultimate
settlement with a taxing authority. We have not taken a tax
position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on
the consolidated financial statements or the effective tax rate
for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. There were
no interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions
for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The tax
years subject the examination by tax jurisdictions in the United
States are 2007 to 2010.
Net
Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per share amounts have been computed based on the
average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the
period. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury
stock method to reflect the potential dilution that could occur
if dilutive share-based instruments were exercised.

On November 1, 2010, we effected a
one-for-two
reverse stock split to common shareholders. All share and per
share information referenced and presented within this filing
has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock
split.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance to improve
disclosures of supplementary pro forma information for business
combinations. The guidance specifies that if an entity presents
comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose
revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the
business combination(s) that occurred during the current year
had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual
reporting period only. This guidance also expands the
supplemental pro forma disclosures required to include a
description of the nature and amount of material nonrecurring
pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business
combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and
earnings. The guidance is effective prospectively for business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or
after December 15, 2010. In the event that we acquire
companies significant to our operations in the future, we expect
that the adoption of the guidance will have an impact on the
disclosures within our consolidated financial statements.

Series B Preferred Stock of NYTEX Energy, a warrant
(Purchaser Warrant) to purchase up to 35% of the
then outstanding shares of our Common Stock, and a warrant
(Control Warrant) to purchase additional shares of
our outstanding Common Stock such that when combined with the
Purchaser Warrant, provides WayPoint with an aggregate 51% of
the total outstanding Common Stock. Further, such warrant
becomes exercisable only if certain conditions of default are

Elimination of approximately $4,839,000 and $4,972,000 of lease
expenses incurred for the years ended December 31, 2010 and

paid-in-full
at acquisition.

The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition
method of accounting which requires, among other things, that
assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their
fair values as of the acquisition date. While most assets and
liabilities were measured at fair value, a single estimate of
fair value results from a complex series of judgments about
future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates
and assumptions. Our judgments used to determine the estimated
fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially
impact our results of operations.

In determining fair value, we obtained appraisals and utilized
assumptions including estimated cash flows, discount rates, and
capitalization rates. As of the acquisition date, the fair value
of accounts receivable approximated book value acquired. The
gross contractual amount receivable was $13,281,888, all of
which is expected to be collected.
The goodwill is attributable to the intangible assets that do
not qualify for separate recognition including the FDF trade
name, customer relationships, and the noncompete agreements
entered into by FDFs management; the value of the
going-concern element of FDFs existing businesses (the
higher rate of return on the assembled collection of net assets
versus if we had acquired all of the net assets separately);
and, the significant synergies expected to arise after our
acquisition of FDF. The goodwill is not expected to be
deductible for tax purposes and was assigned to our oilfield
services segment.
We are in the process of finalizing our acquisition allocations,
which are subject to change until our information is finalized,
no later than twelve months from the acquisition date.
Panhandle
Field Producing Property
In August 2009, we acquired a 75% working interest in the
Panhandle Field Producing Property for consideration consisting
of $700,000 cash, which was financed by a part of the $950,000
borrowed under six-month bridge loans (see Note 11). The
Panhandle Field Producing Property assets encompass producing
oil and gas leaseholds consisting of 18 wells on
320 acres in the Texas panhandle. Effective with the
acquisition, we became the operator of record in actively
managing the production and project development plans.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase
price was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets
acquired and liabilities assumed, based on various estimates of
their respective fair values. The allocation of the purchase
price was determined utilizing recognized valuation techniques
and was based upon estimates and assumptions that are subject to
change within the purchase price allocation period. The

The above unaudited pro forma financial information includes
adjustments for depreciation and depletion, along with interest
expense related to the Bridge Loans. In managements
opinion, the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations
are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would
have occurred had the acquisition been consummated at the
beginning of 2009 nor are they indicative of future operations
of the combined companies.
From January through May 26, 2010, we disposed of a total
45.33% share of our working interest in the Panhandle Field
Producing Property for $859,408 in cash and a $62,388 reduction
in principal of a bridge loan. We recognized a gain on disposal
totaling $578,872.
In December 2010, we re-acquired all but a 2.0% share of the
45.33% share sold earlier in the year for total consideration
transferred of approximately $1,451,858. The total consideration
transferred consisted of approximately $26,063 cash,
616,291 shares of NYTEX Energy Common Stock at an estimated
fair value of $1.86 per share, or approximately $1,146,301, 9%
demand notes totaling approximately $237,458, and interests in
existing NYTEX Petroleum properties with an estimated fair value
of $42,036. At December 31, 2010, we had an aggregate 73%
ownership interest in the Panhandle Field Producing Property.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase

INVESTMENTS
IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
|
Waterworks
As of December 31, 2010, we have a 14.31% ownership
interest in Waterworks, LP (Waterworks), a
salt-water disposal facility in Wise County, Texas. We are
responsible for managing the interests of the other limited
partners and thus, exercise significant influence over the
operations of Waterworks. Accordingly, we account for our
investment in Waterworks under the equity method of accounting.
Losses attributable to our interest in Waterworks were $8,750
and $69,665 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. The carrying value of our investment in Waterworks
was $0 for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and
2009.
Supreme
Vacuum
Supreme Vacuum provides oilfield fluid services in South Texas,
specializing in drilling and production fluids handling, sales,
and storage. Beginning in August 2008, we, through our wholly
owned subsidiaries as well as NYTEX Petroleums predecessor
entity NYTEX Petroleum LLC, made a series of equity investments
in Supreme Vacuum, after which we maintained an approximate
71.18% ownership interest in Supreme Vacuum. The total amount of
these investments was $2,272,177. We have historically reported
Supreme Vacuum as an unconsolidated subsidiary accounted for
under the equity method as we did not possess majority voting
control over Supreme Vacuum. Losses attributable to our interest
in Supreme Vacuum were $308,408 and $828,169 for the years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
On September 8, 2010, we, through our wholly-owned
subsidiary Supreme Oilfield, completed the disposition of all of
our shares (Supreme Vacuum Shares) of Common Stock
of Supreme Vacuum along with a promissory note payable by
Supreme Vacuum to Supreme Oilfield in the original principal
amount of $31,250. The Supreme Vacuum Shares and the promissory
note were sold to an unrelated third party in exchange for a
cash purchase price of $400,000. We recognized a loss of
approximately $870,750 upon the sale of our investment in
Supreme Vacuum.

WAYPOINT
TRANSACTION
|
In connection with the FDF acquisition, on November 23,
2010, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Acquisition Inc.,
entered into a Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement
(WayPoint Purchase Agreement) with WayPoint Nytex,
LLC (WayPoint,), an unaffiliated third party,
whereby, in exchange for $20,000,001 cash, we issued to WayPoint
(collectively, the WayPoint Transaction)
(i) 20,750 shares of Acquisition Inc. 14% Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001
and an original stated amount of $1,000 per share (Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock), (ii) one
share of NYTEX Energy Series B Preferred Stock, par value
of $0.001 per share, (iii) a warrant to purchase up to 35%
of the then outstanding shares of the Companys Common
Stock (Purchaser Warrant), and (iv) a warrant
to purchase an additional number of the Companys Common
Stock so that, measured at the time of exercise, the number of
shares of Common Stock issued to WayPoint represents 51% of the
Companys outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis
(Control Warrant). The Control Warrant may be
exercised only if certain conditions, as defined in the WayPoint
Purchase Agreement, are met.
14%
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock
The holder of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock is entitled to receive dividends at a rate equal to 14% of
the original stated amount, with such dividends payable
quarterly and in preference to any declaration or payment of any
dividend to the holders of Common Stock of Acquisition Inc. Such
dividends shall accrue
day-to-day,
whether or not declared, and are cumulative.
We have the right to redeem the Senior Series A Redeemable
Preferred Stock (i) after the third anniversary of issuance
at a redemption price equal to 104% of the original stated
amount, and (ii) after the
F-38
NYTEX
ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)
fourth anniversary of issuance at a redemption price equal to
103% of the original stated amount, to May 23, 2016, the
maturity date of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock. On the maturity date, we are required to redeem the
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock at 100% of the
original stated amount, together with all accrued and unpaid
dividends as of the redemption date in cash. Further, we are
required to redeem the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock at 100% after the earliest to occur of (a) a change
of control, as defined, or (b) an event of default, as
defined, that remains uncured for 75 days.
Series B
Preferred Stock
We issued one share of Series B Preferred Stock to
WayPoint, a new class of NYTEX Energy preferred stock consisting
of one authorized share. The Series B Preferred Stock
provided the holder the right to designate two members to the
Companys board of directors, and upon the occurrence of a
default under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement, the holder may
require us to expand the number of board members providing
WayPoint the ability to designate a majority of the
Companys board.
Warrants
The Purchaser Warrant is exercisable at any time at an exercise
price of $0.01 per share and expires on the tenth anniversary
from the date of issuance. The Purchaser Warrant provides
anti-dilution protection so that the number of shares that may
be purchased shall be equal to 35% of the then outstanding
shares of the Companys Common Stock, as measured at the
time of exercise.
The Control Warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $0.01
per share, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date on
which a change of control occurs, as defined, if we are unable
to redeem all of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock, (ii) the date on which an event of default occurs,
as defined, provided that payment to the holders of the Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of all amounts owing to
them as a result of the default will be considered a cure of the
default, (iii) seventy-five days after the date on which
the third Default has occurred within a consecutive twelve-month
period, and (iv) May 23, 2016, which is the maturity
date of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and
we are unable to redeem all of the Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock in accordance with the WayPoint
Purchase Agreement. The term default includes 14 categories of
events as listed in the WayPoint Purchase Agreement including
the failure of the Company to meet a fixed-charge coverage
ratio, leverage ratio, or minimum EBITDA test.
Other
Obligations
After November 23, 2011, we may be required by WayPoint to
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), registering for resale all shares
of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Purchaser
Warrant and Control Warrant. In addition, WayPoint was granted
piggyback registration rights for any registration statement
filed with the SEC following (i) a registration statement
filed with the SEC concerning the Companys Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 13) and
(ii) a registration statement filed with the SEC concerning
a registration rights agreement regarding shares of our Common
Stock issued to a former FDF interest holder in connection with
the FDF acquisition. If we are required to file a registration
statement with the SEC registering securities for resale by
WayPoint and the registration statement is not timely filed,
does not become effective within a certain time period, or
ceases to be available for sales thereunder for certain time
periods, then we must pay to all holders of registrable
securities an amount in cash equal to 1% of the value of such
holders registrable securities on the date of such event
and each monthly anniversary thereof until cured, subject to a
cap of 10% of the value of such holders registrable
securities.
In addition, under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement, WayPoint was
granted a put right that could require us to repurchase the
Purchaser Warrant and Control Warrant from WayPoint at any time
on or after the earlier of (i) the date on which a change
of control occurs, as defined, (ii) the date on which an
event of default
F-39
NYTEX
ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)
occurs, as defined, (iii) the date on which we elect to
redeem the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, and
(iv) the maturity date of the Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock. The repurchase price is equal to the
greater of (a) WayPoints aggregate equity ownership
percentage in the Company as of the date the put right is
exercised, multiplied by the fair value of the Companys
Common Stock and (b)(1) in the event that the put right is
exercised before November 23, 2013, $30,000,000, or
(2) in the event that the put right is exercised on or
after November 23, 2013, $40,000,000.
Initial
Accounting
Under the initial accounting, we separated the instruments
issued under the WayPoint Purchase Agreement into component
parts of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock,
the Series B Preferred Stock, the Purchaser Warrant, and
the Control Warrant. We considered the put right to be
inseparable from the Purchaser Warrant and Control Warrant and
deemed them to be a derivative (each, a WayPoint
Warrant Derivative). We estimated the fair value of each
component as of the date of issuance. We assigned no value to
the Control Warrant as it is contingently exercisable and the
conditions for exercising have not been met. Since the WayPoint
Warrant Derivative related to the Purchaser Warrant had a fair
value in excess of the net proceeds we received in the WayPoint
Transaction at the date of issuance, no amounts have been
assigned to Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock in
the allocation of proceeds. The WayPoint Warrant Derivative is
included in derivative liabilities on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010. Changes
in fair value of the WayPoint Warrant Derivative are included in
other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of
operations and are not taxable or deductible for income tax
purposes. See Note 10.
Although no amounts were initially assigned to the Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, we will accrete the
total face amount, or $20,750,000, over the term of the
instrument of 5.5 years as a liability on the consolidated
balance sheet and a corresponding charge to accretion expense on
the consolidated statement of operations. For the year ended
December 31, 2010, we recognized $398,232 of accretion
expense related to the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock.
Default
Under WayPoint Purchase Agreement
Due to cross-default provisions with our Senior Facility and
other covenant requirements, we are currently in default under
the WayPoint Purchase Agreement. The amount reported on our
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 related
to the WayPoint Purchase Agreement includes a derivative
liability totaling $32,554,826, which is reported within current
liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. As a result,
WayPoint may seek certain remedies afforded to them under the
WayPoint Purchase Agreement including (i) declare the
entire unpaid principal amount of the Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock due and payable, (ii) exercise
their Control Warrant, or (iii) exercise their put right.
We are currently in negotiations with WayPoint to remedy the
events of noncompliance and modify the loan agreement. However,
there are no assurances that we will be successful in our
negotiations with WayPoint.

WayPoint Warrant Derivative is reported as a derivative
liability current portion on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010.
The agreement setting forth the terms of the warrants issued to

Preferred Stock include an anti-dilution provision that require
a reduction in the instruments exercise price should
subsequent at-market issuances of the Companys Common
Stock be issued below the instruments original exercise

Senior
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility
In connection with the FDF acquisition, on November 23,
2010, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit and term
loan agreement (Senior Facility) with a bank
providing for loans up to $24,000,000. The Senior Facility
consists of a term loan in the amount of $12,000,000 and a
revolving credit facility in an amount up to $12,000,000. The
term loan bears an annual interest rate based on the higher of
(i) the 30 day LIBOR plus 1%, or (ii) the Fed
Funds rate plus 0.5%, plus a margin of 2.5% (3.76% at
December 31, 2010). The term loan requires monthly payments
of principal and interest based on a seven-year amortization of
$142,857 with the remaining principal and any unpaid interest
due in full at maturity on November 23, 2015. The revolving
credit facility bears an annual interest rate based on the
higher of (i) the 30 day LIBOR plus 1%, or
(ii) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.5%, plus a margin of 1.75%
(3.01% at December 31, 2010) and payments of interest
only due monthly with the then outstanding principal and any
unpaid interest due in full at maturity on November 23,
2015. Advances under the revolving credit facility may not
exceed 85% of FDFs eligible accounts receivable as defined
in the Senior Facility agreement.
Our loan agreements generally stipulate that we comply with
certain reporting and financial covenants. These covenants
include among other things, providing the lender, within set
time periods, with financial information, notifying the lender
of any change in management, limitations on the amount of
capital expenditures, and maintaining certain financial ratios.
As a result of the challenges incurred in integrating the FDF
operations and due to higher than anticipated capital
expenditures at FDF, we were unable to meet several reporting
and financial covenants under our senior revolving credit and
term loan facility (Senior Facility) with PNC Bank
measured as of November 30, 2010 and February 28,
2011. Failure to meet the loan covenants under the loan
agreement constitutes a default and on April 13, 2011, PNC
Bank, as lender, provided us with a formal written notice of
default. PNC Bank did not commence the exercise of any of their
respective other rights and remedies, but expressly reserved all
such rights. At December 31, 2010, the outstanding
principal balance of the amounts owed under the Senior Facility
was $17,752,723, and is, because of this default, reported
within current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. We
are currently in negotiations with the lender to remedy the
defaults which include managements plans to enhance our
current liquidity through delaying or stopping capital
expenditures through the first half of 2011 and improvements to
our results of operations. However, there are no assurances that
we will be successful in our negotiations with PNC Bank.
$2.15
Million Debentures
In August 2010, we initiated a $2,150,000 offering of
convertible debt (Debenture) to fund our ongoing
working capital needs. Terms of the Debenture were as follows:
(i) $100,000 per unit with interest at a rate of 12% per
annum payable monthly with a maturity of 180 days from the
date of issuance; (ii) convertible at any time prior to
maturity at $1.50 per share of the Companys Common Stock;
and, (iii) each unit includes a three-year warrant to
purchase up to 20,000 shares of the Companys Common
Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share for a period of
three years from the effective date of the warrant. As of
December 31, 2010,
F-42
NYTEX
ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to

(Continued)
we had raised the full $2,150,000 under the Debenture offering
including warrants to purchase up to 430,000 shares of the
Companys Common Stock. In addition, we also issued
45,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock to certain
Debenture holders. During the first quarter of 2011, the
Debentures were amended such that the maturity date was extended
to October 2011.
Francis
Promissory Note
In connection with the FDF acquisition, on November 23,
2010, we entered into a promissory note payable to a former
interest holder of FDF (Francis Promissory Note) in
the face amount of $750,000. The Francis Promissory Note is an
unsecured, non-interest bearing loan that requires quarterly
payments of $37,500 and matures October 1, 2015. We have
recorded the Francis Promissory Note as a discounted debt of
$478,710, using an imputed interest rate of 9%
Related
Party Loan
In March 2006, NYTEX Petroleum LLC entered into a $400,000
revolving credit facility (Related Party Loan) with
one of its founding members to be used for operational and
working capital needs. Effective with the execution of an
amended letter agreement on August 25, 2008, the revolving
nature of the Facility was terminated, with the then unpaid
principal balance of $295,000 on the Related Party Loan
effectively becoming a note payable to the founding member. The
Related Party Loan continues to bear interest, to be paid
monthly, at 6% per annum, to be secured by the assets of NYTEX
Petroleum LLC (now NYTEX Petroleum), and be personally
guaranteed by NYTEX Petroleum LLCs two founding members.
The terms of the Related Party Loan have been further amended,
requiring monthly principal payments of $3,000 plus interest for
eighteen months beginning March 1, 2010 and ending
September 1, 2011. At the end of the eighteen month period,
the remaining principal balance and any unpaid interest are due
in a lump sum. There is no penalty for early payment of
principal.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, amounts outstanding under
the Related Party Loan were $168,000 and $195,000, respectively.
In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2010 and
2009, interest expense related to the Related Party Loan totaled
$11,025 and $12,700, respectively.
Other
Debentures and Loans
In July 2009, the Company entered into various Bridge Loans
totaling $950,000, the proceeds of which were used for the
acquisition of the Panhandle Field Producing Property, its
initial development costs, and working capital purposes. The
Bridge Loans originally matured on January 31, 2010, with
12.5% cash interest for the six-month period, or 25% per annum,
payable at maturity. The Bridge Loans have been amended multiple
times to extend the maturity date. On August 23, 2010, the
agreement with the Bridge Loan holders extended the maturity
date of principal and interest to September 1, 2010, with
no penalties for prepayment. Interest was payable at rates of
25% and 18% per annum. On September 1, 2010, the remaining
Bridge Loans (all at an interest rate of 18% per annum) were
further amended to extend the maturity date to December 1,
2010, with one option to extend the maturity date to
July 1, 2011. As of December 31, 2010, one Bridge Loan
remains outstanding with a principal balance due of $234,919 and
matures on July 1, 2011.
In December 2010, we issued two demand notes totaling $237,000
related to our re-acquisition of the Panhandle Field Producing
Property. The demand notes are due and payable on
February 14, 2011 or upon demand by the holder and bear
interest at a fixed rate of 9%. Subsequently, on
February 14, 2011, we issued 9% Convertible Debentures
(9% Convertible Debenture) due January 2014 in
exchange for the demand notes due February 14, 2011.
Interest only is payable monthly at the annual rate of 9% with
any accrued and unpaid interest along with the unpaid principal
due at maturity. The 9% Convertible Debenture is
convertible to the Companys Common Stock at any time at
the fixed conversion price of $2.50 per share, subject to
certain adjustments including stock dividends and stock splits.
We have the option, at any time, to redeem the

outstanding 9% Convertible Debentures in cash equal to 100%
of the original principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest.
We also have various property, plant, and equipment loans
outstanding that generally require monthly principal and
interest payments based on fixed interest rates ranging from 0%
to 7.4% and have maturity dates ranging from March 2011 to July
2015.

Litigation
We may become involved from time to time in litigation on
various matters, which are routine to the conduct of our
business. We believe that none of these actions, individually or
in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or operations, although any adverse decision
in these cases, or the costs of defending or settling such
claims, could have a material adverse effect on our financial
position, operations, and cash flows.
On August 26, 2010, two suits were filed by Kevin Audrain
and Lori Audrain d/b/a Drain Oil Company
(Plaintiffs) against NYTEX Energy, one
as Cause No. 39360 in the 84th District Court in Hutchinson
County, Texas, and the other as Cause
No. 10-122
in the 69th District Court in Moore County, Texas. Both suits
were filed by the same plaintiffs and both relate to 75.0% of
certain producing oil and gas leaseholds in those counties of
the Texas panhandle (the Panhandle
Property). On August 1, 2009, NYTEX Petroleum
acquired and assumed operations of the Panhandle Property from
Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs allege that NYTEX Petroleum did not
engage in a well re-completion (refrac) operation as required by
the purchase document between Plaintiffs and NYTEX Petroleum
(the Purchase Document). As a result
of this alleged lack of performance, Plaintiffs believe they are
entitled to pursue repurchase of the Panhandle Property in
accordance with a buyback provision set forth in the Purchase
Document. The Company believes that NYTEX Petroleum has
performed as required, and that these lawsuits are wholly
without merit and frivolous. The Company has filed answers to
both suits and intends to vigorously defend itself in these
actions.
Environmental
We are subject to extensive federal, state, and local
environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are
constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into
the environment and may require us to remove or mitigate the
environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or
chemical substances at

capitalized depending on their future economic benefit.
Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past
operations and that have no future economic benefits are
expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature
are recorded when environmental assessment
and/or
remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably
estimated.

STOCKHOLDERS
EQUITY
|
The authorized capital of NYTEX Energy consists of
200 million shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per
share; 10 million shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share; and, one share of
Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The
holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive cumulative quarterly dividends equal to 9%
of $1.00 per share, with such dividends in preference to the
declaration or payment of any dividends to the holders of Common
Stock. Further, dividends on the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock are cumulative so that if any previous or
current dividend shall not have been paid, the deficiency shall
first be fully paid before any dividend is to be paid on or
declared on Common Stock. The holders of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock have the same voting rights and
powers as the holders of Common Stock.
The holder of the Series B Preferred Stock is not entitled
to receive dividends and is not entitled to any voting rights.
However, the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock is
entitled to elect two members of the Companys board of
directors.
Private
Placement Common Stock
In August 2008, we initiated a private placement of our Common
Stock, offering 2,200,000 common shares at $2.00 per share along
with a three-year warrant exercisable at $1.00 per share. In
April 2009, the private placement offering of our Common Stock
was expanded to $5,900,000 and further expanded in February 2010
to $8,000,000. On July 22, 2010, we concluded the sale of
2,966,551 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the
private placement for total net proceeds of $5,900,000. In
addition, 110,275 shares of Common Stock were issued to
certain holders as an inducement to purchase our Common Stock.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued a total of
91,200 common shares under the private placement for net
proceeds of approximately $181,100, along with warrants to
purchase up to 91,200 shares of our Common Stock. The
warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per share for a period of
three years from the effective date of the warrant.
Other
Common Stock Issuances
In January 2010, upon the maturity of the Bridge Loans, we paid
an accommodation fee to the Bridge Loan holders in the form of
59,375 shares of our Common Stock.
In connection with the acquisition of FDF in November 2010, we
issued 5,407,339 shares of our Common Stock to the former
owners as part of the consideration paid to acquire FDF. The
aggregate fair value of the Common Stock issued was $10,057,651.
See Note 5.
In connection with the re-acquisition of the Panhandle Field
Producing Property in December 2010, we issued
616,291 shares of our Common Stock to the former owners as
part of the consideration paid to re-acquire the Panhandle Field
Producing Property. The aggregate fair value of the Common Stock
issued was $1,146,301. See Note 5.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued
871,337 shares of our Common Stock to certain employees and
individuals. The fair value of the shares of approximately
$1,015,525 was recorded as stock-based compensation in the
accompanying statements of operations.

Private
Placement Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock
In contemplation of the acquisition of FDF, in October 2010, we
initiated a private placement of units each consisting of
(i) 100,000 shares of our Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, and (ii) a warrant to purchase
30,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercises price of
$2.00 per share. Each unit is priced at $100,000. For the year
ended December 31, 2010, we issued 5,580 units for
gross proceeds of $5,580,000 consisting of 5,580,000 shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to
purchase up to 1,674,000 shares of Common Stock. At the
conclusion of the private placement offering in January 2011, we
had issued a total of 6,000 units for aggregate gross
proceeds of $6,000,000.
The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are
entitled to payment of dividends at 9% of the purchase price per
share of $1.00, with such dividends payable quarterly. Dividends
are payable out of any assets legally available, are cumulative,
and in preference to any declaration or payment of dividends to
the holders of Common Stock. Each holder of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock may, at any time, convert their
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares
of Common Stock at an initial conversion ratio of
one-to-one.
Warrant
Issuances
In August 2010, we issued warrants to purchase up to
20,000 shares of Common Stock to an unsecured third-party
creditor. The unsecured third-party creditor was paid in full in
September 2010. The warrants may be exercised for a period of
three years from date of grant at an exercise price of $1.50 per
share. The fair value of the warrants on the date of grant was
approximately $9,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model.
In connection with the offering of the Debentures, we issued
warrants to purchase up to 430,000 shares of Common Stock
at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The aggregate fair
value of the warrants on the date of grant was approximately
$161,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
warrants are exercisable for a period of three years from the
date of grant. In addition, 45,000 shares of Common Stock
were issued to certain holders as an inducement to purchase the
Debentures. The aggregate fair value of the Common Stock issued
was approximately $46,800.
In connection with the private placement offering of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, we issued warrants to
the holders to purchase up to 1,674,000 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The warrants may
be exercised for a period of three years from the date of grant.
The aggregate fair value of the warrants on the date of grant
was approximately $1,573,500 using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model and was accounted for as a derivative liability on
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
In connection with the WayPoint Transaction, we issued warrants
to purchase up to 423,244 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $0.01 per share to an unaffiliated investment
group that facilitated the transaction. The warrants may be
exercised for a period of five years from the date of grant. The
aggregate fair value of the warrants on the date of grant was
approximately $779,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model and was recorded as deferred financing costs on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
In connection with the WayPoint Transaction, we issued warrants
(the Purchaser Warrant see Note 9) to
purchase up to 19,809,245 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $0.01 per share to WayPoint, subject to
certain adjustments as set forth in the warrant agreement such
that at the time of exercise, the total number of warrants
exercisable is equal to 35% of the then outstanding shares of
Common Stock. The Purchaser Warrant is exercisable at any time
and expires on the tenth anniversary from the date of issuance.
In connection with the WayPoint Transaction, we issued warrants
(the Control Warrant see Note 9) to
purchase up to 18,491,190 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $0.01 per share to WayPoint. The

Control Warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $0.01 per
share, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which
a change of control occurs, as defined, if we are unable to
redeem all of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock, (ii) the date on which an event of default occurs,
as defined, provided that payment to the holders of the Senior
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of all amounts owing to
them as a result of the default will be considered a cure of the
default, (iii) 75 days after the date on which a third
default, as defined, has occurred within a consecutive
12-month
period, and (iv) May 23, 2016, which is the maturity
date of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and
we are unable to redeem all of the Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock in accordance with the WayPoint
Purchase Agreement.
In addition, we issued warrants to purchase up to
223,200 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
to the underwriter of the private placement offering of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The warrants may be
exercised for a period of three years from date of grant at an
exercise price of $1.00 per share. The aggregate fair value of
the warrants on the date of grant was approximately $283,500
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The fair value of warrants was determined using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected term of the
warrant is estimated based on the contractual term or an
expected
time-to-liquidity
event. The volatility assumption is estimated based on
expectations of volatility over the term of the warrant as
indicated by implied volatility. The risk-free interest rate is
based on the U.S. Treasury rate for a term commensurate
with the expected term of the warrant. The aggregate fair value
of the warrants issued in 2010 totaled approximately $29,856,000
and was determined using the following weighted average
attributes and assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.61%,
expected dividend yield of 0%, expected term of 5.5 years,
and expected volatility of 55%. A summary of warrant activity
for the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:

FAIR
VALUE MEASURMENTS
|
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be
received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit
price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the
asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used
to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We utilize a fair value
hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first
two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically
obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active
exchange markets involving identical assets.
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets
and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for
identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active;
and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and
significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing
sources for comparable instruments.
|
F-47
NYTEX
ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs, where there
is little or no market activity for the asset or liability.
These inputs reflect the reporting entitys own beliefs
about the assumptions that market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information
available in the circumstances.
|
As discussed in Notes 9 and 10, we consider certain of our
warrants to be derivatives, and, as a result, the fair value of
the derivative liabilities are reported on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. We value the derivative liabilities
using a Monte Carlo simulation which contains significant
unobservable, or Level 3, inputs. The use of valuation
techniques requires us to make various key assumptions for
inputs into the model, including assumptions about the expected
behavior of the instruments holders and expected future
volatility of the price of our Common Stock. At certain Common
Stock price points within the Monte Carlo simulation, we assume
holders of the instruments will convert into shares of our
Common Stock. In estimating the fair value, we estimated future
volatility by considering the historic volatility of the stock
of a selected peer group over a five year period.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the fair value of the
derivative liability increased $13,301,755 and was recorded
within other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis are summarized below:

OIL
CONTAINMENT BOOM ACTIVITIES
|
On May 19, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum entered into an Oil
Containment Boom Rental Agreement (Simpson
Agreement) with Simpson Environmental Resources, Inc.
(Simpson) to rent segments of oil containment boom
(Boom) to Simpson to be used in the Gulf of Mexico
waters to contain the BP plc (BP) global oil spill
under Simpsons master service or rental agreements with
general contractors of BP, state governments, or other entities.
Under the Simpson Agreement, Simpson was to pay NYTEX Petroleum
100% of the rental payment amounts Simpson collects from the
general contractors (Contractor Payments) for the
Boom until such time that NYTEX Petroleum had recovered 100% of
its cost of the delivered Boom from said rental payments
(referred to as Payout). After Payout was achieved,
subsequent Contractor Payments were split 50% to Simpson and 50%
to NYTEX Petroleum for the remaining period that the Boom was in
service under such rental contracts.
To fund the purchases of Boom, NYTEX Petroleum entered into Oil
Containment Boom Purchase/Rental Agreements (Participant
Agreements) with outside participants to act as agent on
behalf of the participant to purchase Boom and rent it pursuant
to the terms of the Simpson Agreement. The Participant
Agreements provide for the participant to receive 100% of the
Contractor Payments remitted by Simpson to NYTEX Petroleum until
such time that the participant has recovered 100% of their cost
of the delivered Boom (referred to as Participant
Payout). After Participant Payout was achieved, subsequent
Contractor Payments remitted by Simpson to NYTEX Petroleum was
split as follows: 60% to the participant, 20% to NYTEX
Petroleum, and 20% to DMBC, Inc., who facilitated the
transactions. As of December 31, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum had
received $1,790,625 from participants under Participant
Agreements, had made payments towards rental Boom purchases
totaling $1,005,303, and transferred $678,710 of funds collected
under Participant Agreements to
F-48
NYTEX
ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to

(Continued)
the Purchaser Agreement program (defined below) due to limited
opportunities to purchase and deploy additional rental Boom.
NYTEX Petroleum also entered into Gulf Oil Spill Boom Sales
Agreements (Purchaser Agreements) with outside
participants to purchase Boom and resell at a profit to buyers
including, but not limited to, coastal cities, counties,
parishes and BP (collectively, the Boom Buyers)
pursuant to the terms of the Simpson Agreement. The Purchaser
Agreements provide that immediately upon NYTEX Petroleums
receipt of funds for the sale of Boom, NYTEX Petroleum would
remit to Purchaser 100% of Purchasers purchase price of
the Boom together with 40% of the profit, less shipping and
handling and insurance costs. As of December 31, 2010,
NYTEX Petroleum had received $2,409,500 from participants under
Purchaser Agreements, transferred $678,710 of funds collected
under Participant Agreements to the Purchaser Agreement program
as noted earlier, and had made payments towards Boom purchases
under the sales program totaling $2,874,150.
On July 1, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum and Simpson entered into
an Oil Spill Containment and Absorbent Boom Sales Agreement
(Boom Sales Agreement) to include the purchase of
various sizes and types of containment and absorbent Boom and to
resell the Boom to the Boom Buyers. Simpson sourced the Boom
products that met BP specifications and, upon approval of each
order by NYTEX Petroleum, shipped direct from suppliers to the
Boom Buyers or to Simpsons warehouse. Furthermore, Simpson
agreed that for any Boom which remained unsold after
30 days from being warehoused and upon receipt of written
notice from NYTEX Petroleum, then Simpson shall purchase the
unsold Boom from NYTEX Petroleum at the delivered price paid by
NYTEX Petroleum, including warehousing, insurance, and other
costs incurred during this 30 day period. As of
December 31, 2010, Boom, representing a delivered cost of
$877,150, was repurchased by Simpson under the Boom Sales
Agreement, with $877,150 having been paid by Simpson as of
December 31, 2010.
Relative to oil containment boom activities, we recorded
administration fee revenue of $486,291 for the year ended
December 31, 2010. Revenue and accounts receivable
associated with the oil containment boom activities are recorded
net of amounts paid or owed under the Participant Agreements and
Purchaser Agreements. As such, only the net fee earned is
recognized in our consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 2010.
For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had
losses before income taxes of $19,647,566 and $3,357,496,
respectively. The tax provision for the year ended
December 31, 2010 consists of taxes incurred related to the
Texas margin tax. For the year ended December 31, 2009, no
benefit or provision for income taxes was recorded due to the
uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets.
At December 31, 2010, we have accumulated net operating
losses totaling $9,300,885. The net operating loss carryforwards
will begin to expire in 2028 if not utilized. We have recorded
net losses in each year since inception and through
December 31, 2010. Based upon all available objective
evidence, including the Companys loss history, management
believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred assets
related to our net operating losses will not be fully realized.
Accordingly, we have provided a valuation allowance against
those deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction and various states jurisdictions. Tax regulations
within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of
the related tax laws and regulations and

require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, we
are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state
and/or local
income tax examinations by authorities for the tax years before
2007.
Loss per common share is calculated by dividing the loss
applicable to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. We have determined that the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock represents a
participating security because holders of the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock have rights to participate in any
dividends on an as-converted basis; therefore, basic earnings
per common share is calculated consistent with the provisions of
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or the
Codification) Subtopic
260-45
Participating Securities and the Two Class Method.
The following table reconciles net loss and common shares
outstanding used in the calculations of basic and diluted loss
per share. Because holders of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock do not participate in losses,
2,580,000 shares of Common Stock equivalents were excluded
from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for
the year ended December 31, 2010. Further, because a net
loss was incurred during 2010 and 2009, dilutive instruments
including the warrants and convertible debentures produce an
antidilutive net loss per share result. These excluded shares
totaled 24,193,465 and 5,798,502 for the years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Therefore, the
diluted loss per share reported in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations for the years ended December 31,
2010 and 2009 are the same as the basic loss per share amounts.

SEGMENT
INFORMATION
|
Our primary business segments are vertically integrated within
the oil and gas industry. These segments are separately managed
due to distinct operational differences and unique technology,
distribution, and marketing requirements. Our two reportable
operating segments are oil and gas exploration and production
and oilfield services. The oil and gas exploration and
production segment explores for and produces natural gas, crude
oil, condensate, and NGLs. The oilfield services segment, which
consists solely of the operations of FDF, provides drilling,
completion, and specialized fluids, dry drilling and completion
products, technical services, industrial cleaning services, and
equipment rental for the oil and gas industry.

CONDENSED
PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
In connection with our acquisition of FDF, on November 23,
2010, we entered into the Senior Facility with a bank to provide
for loans up to $24,000,000. The Senior Facility is secured by a
first lien on all of the assets of Acquisition Inc., including
the interests in and all of the assets of FDF. In addition, on
November 23, 2010, we entered into the WayPoint Purchase
Agreement with WayPoint, whereby, in exchange for $20,000,001
cash, we issued to WayPoint (i) 20,750 shares of
Acquisition Inc. Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock, (ii) one share of NYTEX Energy Series B
Preferred Stock, (iii) the Purchaser Warrant, and
(iv) the Control Warrant. The Senior Facility and the
WayPoint Purchase Agreement contain various covenants and
restrictions, including the payment of distributions and
dividends. With respect to distributions and dividends, our
principal operating subsidiary, FDF, is restricted from
declaring dividends or otherwise make any distributions, loans
or advances to us, other than an agreed upon nominal monthly
management fee.
The following condensed financial statements present our
financial position as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and our
results of operations and cash flows for the two years in the
period ended December 31, 2010 on a parent-only basis.
In the parent company only financial statements, the investment
in subsidiaries is stated at cost plus equity in undistributed
earnings of subsidiaries since the date of formation. Our share
of income or loss is recorded as equity in loss of subsidiaries.
The parent company only financial statements should be read in
conjunction with our consolidated financial statements.

Reserve
Quantity Information
Reserve information for 2010 related to our proved developed
producing properties is based on estimates prepared by LaRoche
Petroleum Consultants, Ltd. (LPC), independent
petroleum engineers. The technical persons responsible for
preparing these reserve estimates meet the requirements
regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity, and
confidentiality set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the
Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information
promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. LPC is an
independent firm of petroleum engineers, geologists, and
geophysicists; and are not employed on a contingent fee basis.
Reserve information for 2010 related to our proved developed
non-producing and proved undeveloped properties is based on
estimates prepared internally by NYTEXs staff petroleum
engineer who, prior to February 2010, also served as the Vice
President of Exploration & Production for the Company.
We did not perform any recompletions to place proved developed
non-producing (PDnP) reserves we reported as of
December 31, 2009 into production during 2010. After
performing a review of recompletions and new drills in the area
surrounding our PDnP reserves and finding no new data that would
require revisions to our 2009 PDnP reserve calculations, the
2009 PDnP reserve volumes were updated with the 2010 SEC pricing
and revised differentials as provided by LPC to calculate the
PDnP reserves as of December 31, 2010.
Proved reserves are the estimated quantities that geologic and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be
recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing
economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are
the quantities expected to be recovered through existing
F-58

Notes to

(Continued)
wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Due to the
inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data,
such estimates are subject to change as additional information
becomes available. The reserves actually recovered and the
timing of production of these reserves may be substantially
different from the original estimate. Revisions result primarily
from new information obtained from development drilling and
production history, and changes in economic factors. Oil
reserves, which include condensate and natural gas liquids, are
stated in barrels and gas reserves are stated in thousands of
cubic feet.
The following table presents our estimate of proved oil and gas
reserves, all of which are located in the United States. Such
estimates have been prepared in accordance with guidelines
established by the SEC.

Standardized
Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows and Changes Therein
Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves
The following table, which presents a standardized measure of
discounted future net cash flows (standardized
measure) and changes in such cash flows, is presented
pursuant to ASC 932. In computing this data, assumptions
other than those required by the FASB could produce different
results. Accordingly, the standardized measure should not be
construed as being representative of managements estimate
of the Companys future cash flows or the value of the
Companys proved oil and gas reserves. Probable and
possible reserves, which may become proved in the future, are
excluded from the calculations. Furthermore, prices used to
determine the standardized measure of discounted cash flows are
influenced by seasonal demand and other factors and may not be
the most representative in estimating future revenues or reserve
data.
Our reserve calculations and future cash inflows as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared and presented
under new SEC rules. These new rules are effective for fiscal
years ending on or after December 31, 2009, and require SEC
reporting companies to prepare their reserves estimates using
revised reserve definitions and revised pricing based on a
12-month
unweighted average of the
first-day-of-the-month
F-59
NYTEX

(Continued)
pricing. The previous rules required that reserve estimates be
calculated using
last-day-of-the-period
pricing. The average prices used for 2009 and 2010 under these
new rules were $75.96 and $61.08, respectively, per Bbl for oil
and $4.38 and $4.24, respectively, per Mcf for natural gas, each
as adjusted for location, grade and quality. Future price
changes were considered only to the extent provided by
contractual arrangements in existence at year-end. Future
development and production costs were computed by estimating the
expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the
proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on
year- end costs. Future income tax expenses were computed by
applying the year-end statutory tax rate, with consideration of
future tax rates already legislated as well as tax credits and
allowances relating to our proved oil and gas reserves, to the
future pre-tax net cash flows relating to our proved oil and gas
reserves.
The standardized measure of our proved oil and gas reserves at
December 31, 2010 and 2009, which represents the present
value of estimated future cash flows using a discount rate of
10% a year, is as follows:

AUDITORS REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Francis Drilling Fluids, Ltd.
Crowley, Louisiana
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Francis
Drilling Fluids, Ltd. as of August 31, 2010 and 2009, and
the related statements of income, retained earnings, and cash
flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Francis Drilling Fluids, Ltd. as of August 31,2010 and
2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1.
|
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Nature
of operations:
Francis Drilling Fluids, LTD.s (the Company)
operations are primarily supplying liquid mud, dry sack
materials, and boat washings to the oil industry along the Gulf
Coast of the United States. The Company also provides
transportation services to customers throughout the United
States.
Revenue
recognition:
Sales of products are recognized as deliveries are made or when
services are provided.
Cash
and cash equivalents:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Trade
accounts receivable:
The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to
its customers and performs ongoing credit evaluations of those
customers. It maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based
on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers,
historical trends, and other information. Management provides
for uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a
credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the
current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still
outstanding after management has used reasonable collection
efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation
allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable. Credit
losses, when realized, have been within the range of the
Companys expectations and, historically, have not been
significant.
Inventories:
The inventory consists of dry materials used in mixing oilfield
drilling fluids and liquid drilling fluids all mixed and ready
to be delivered to the drilling rig location. The dry materials
are carried at cost, principally on the
first-in,
first-out basis. The liquid materials are valued at standard
cost which approximates actual cost on a
first-in,
first-out method and which does not exceed current market value.
Property,
plant and machinery:
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and
amortization are computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of assets of 3 to 40 years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the
related asset or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as
incurred while additions and betterments are capitalized. The
cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and
equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the
accounts and any gain or loss is reported as current years
income or expense.
Use of
estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

DRILLING FLUIDS, LTD.
NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Income
taxes:
The Company accounts for its income taxes using
ASC 740-10/Statement
109, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and
assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.
Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
determined based on the difference between the financial
statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted
tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
expected to reverse.
Advertising:
The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.
Advertising expense was $33,283 and $45,676 for 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Cash
on deposit and uninsured cash balances:
The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by
maintaining deposits in various financial institutions which may
at times exceed amount covered by insurance provided by the
U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The
Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and
believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk to
cash. At August 31,2010, the Company did not have deposits
in excess of FDIC coverage at any financial institution.
Impairment
of long-lived assets:
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed
on an ongoing basis for impairment based on comparison of
carrying value against undiscounted future cash flows. If
impairment is identified, the assets carrying amounts are
adjusted to fair value. There were no such adjustments during
the years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009.
|
|
NOTE 2.
|
ADVANCE
TO STOCKHOLDER
|
This represents an advance to the stockholders. Interest is
computed using the published Internal Revenue Service rate.

The loan agreements contain various covenants and ratios that
the Company must comply with. The Company must maintain a fixed
charge coverage ratio equal to, or in excess of, 1.200 to 1.000.
The Company must also maintain a ratio of total liabilities to
tangible net worth equal to, or less than, 2.000 to 1.000 and a
net worth equal to, or greater than, $8,000,000, plus the
cumulative New Worth Adjustment. The New Worth Adjustment shall
be an amount equal to 50% of borrowers net income, after
taxes, for each fiscal year ending during the term of this
agreement. These requirements will be evaluated as of each
fiscal quarter during the time that any indebtedness remains
owing to lender, with the calculations being made as of the last
day of each of the months of November, February, May and August
during the term of this agreement.
At August 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with
various bank loan covenants and ratios.

The net tax effects of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes
are reflected in deferred income taxes. Differences are a result
of depreciation methods used, contribution deduction limits for
tax purposes, and inventory valuation methods and allowance for
bad debts.
Income tax benefit (expense) is made up of the following
components:

The expected income tax provision that would result from
applying statutory rates to income before income taxes differs
from current expense due to:
1. Permanent differences for expenses which are not
deductible for income tax purposes.
2. Surtax exemptions.

EMPLOYEE
RETIREMENT PLAN
|
The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan which
covers substantially all full-time employees after they have met
certain eligibility requirements. Employees can contribute 1 to
15%. All funds contributed by the employees are folly vested.
The Company matches 100% of employee contributions up to

NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
6% of the employees salary. The Companys
contribution is fully vested to the participants after seven
years of continued employment. The Companys contributions
to the plan for the years ended August 31,2010 and 2009
were $10,941 and $284,783, respectively.
|
|
NOTE 10.
|
CONCENTRATION
OF CREDIT RISK
|
A significant portion of the Companys customers are oil
companies in the states of Louisiana and Texas. Concentration of
credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to
the large number of customers comprising the Companys
customer base.
Substantially, all of the Companys facilities are subject
to federal, state, and local provisions regulating the discharge
of materials into the environment. Compliance with these
provisions has not had, nor does the Company expect such
compliance to have, any material effect upon the capital
expenditures, net income, financial condition or competitive
position of the Company. Management believes that its current
practices and procedures for the control and disposition of such
waste comply with the applicable federal and state requirements.

NOTE 12.
|
SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
|
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through
January 17,2011, the date on which the financial statements
were available to be issued. On November 22,2010, an
agreement was executed in which all of the stock of the Company
was sold to another party. The new stockholders have agreed to
retain current management for a term of five years. As a result
of the sale, all receivables from stockholders were paid off.
Notes with the current financial institution were liquidated by
financing from new financial institutions.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The
supplementary information for the years ended
August 31,2010 and 2009 is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the examinations of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in
all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

NYTEX
ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
On November 23, 2010, through our wholly-owned subsidiary,
NYTEX FDF Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(Acquisition Inc.), we acquired 100% of the Francis
Group, including its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, FDF. The
Francis Group has no other assets or operations other than FDF.
The purchase price for the Francis Group, excluding closing
costs, was $51.8 million, which was funded with proceeds
from a loan with an unaffiliated lender, proceeds from the
issuance of preferred stock, proceeds from the issuance of
Acquisition Inc. preferred stock and warrants, common stock
issued to the Sellers, and a non-interest bearing promissory
note issued to the Sellers.
The following unaudited pro forma combined statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 is
presented as if we acquired FDF on January 1, 2010.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information have been
developed from and should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and notes thereto as filed in
our annual report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2010 and are not
necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations
would have been had we completed the transaction as of the
beginning of the period presented, nor is it necessarily
indicative of future results. The unaudited pro forma combined
financial information does not reflect any operating
efficiencies
and/or cost
savings that we may achieve, or any additional expenses that we
may be incur, with respect to the combined companies.

Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
|
As permitted by Section 102 of the DGCL, our bylaws include
a provision that eliminates the personal liability of our
directors and officers for losses sustained by us, except to the
extent such losses have resulted from such directors or
officers own willful misconduct, willful neglect or
negligence.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals against expenses (including attorneys fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in
which such person is made a party or who is threatened to be
made a party by reason of such person being or having been a
director, officer, employee of or agent to the corporation. The
statute provides that it is not exclusive of other rights to
which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
As permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, we have provided
for indemnification of our directors and officers. First, our
certificate of incorporation includes a provision that requires
us to indemnify each of our directors and officers to the
fullest extent allowed by the Delaware law. Second, our bylaws
include a provision that requires us to indemnify each of our
directors and officers against all reasonable costs, expenses
and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees)
actually and necessarily incurred by such person in connection
with any claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or
inquiry by reason of such person being or having been a director
or officer of our company, except in relation to matters as to
which such person is adjudged to be liable for willful
misconduct, willful neglect or negligence in the performance of
such persons duties. Third, we have entered into
indemnification agreements with each of our directors. The
indemnification agreements provide for indemnification of each
director to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
against all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding,
investigation or inquiry, by reason of such person being a
director or officer of our company, including, without
limitation, all liability arising out of the negligence or
active or passive wrongdoing of such person. The only limitation
under the indemnification agreements is that we are not
obligated to make any payments to a director that is determined
to not be permitted by law.
We also carry directors and officers insurance
providing indemnification for our directors, officers and
certain employees for some liabilities. We believe that these
indemnification provisions and insurance are useful to attract
and retain qualified directors and executive officers.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in
our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the
indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our
directors may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit
against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These
provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood
of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even
though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us
and our stockholders. In addition, an investment in us may be
adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement
and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to the
above indemnification provisions.

Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities

exempt from registration requirements, including, among other
exemptions, Section 4(2) of, and Rule 506 under the
Securities Act.

Francis
Group Transaction
|
On November 23, 2010, Acquisition Inc. acquired 100% of the
membership interests of Oaks. Oaks is the owner of all of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of FDF. FDF is a
full-service provider of drilling, completion, and specialized
fluids, dry drilling and completion products, technical
services, industrial cleaning services and equipment rental for
the oil & gas industry. Headquartered in Crowley,
Louisiana, FDF operates out of 20 locations in Texas, Oklahoma,
Wyoming, North Dakota, including three coastal Louisiana
facilities which provide services on land and off-shore Gulf of
Mexico.
As consideration for the acquisition of the Francis Group we
paid $52,677,466 consisting of (i) $21,500,000 in cash,
(ii) 5,407,339 shares of our Common Stock, valued at
$2.00 per share, equaling $10,814,678 at closing, (iii) a
Promissory Note payable to Diana Istre Francis in the original
principal amount of $750,000 and (iv) the payoff of
$19,612,788 in Francis Groups debt.

WayPoint
Preferred Stock and Warrant Transaction
|
In order to finance the FDF Acquisition, we and Acquisition Inc.
entered into WayPoint Purchase Agreement, whereby, in exchange
for $20,000,000 cash from WayPoint (a) Acquisition Inc.
issued to WayPoint 20,750 shares of Acquisition Inc.s
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, and (b) we
(i) issued to WayPoint (A) one share of the
Companys Series B Preferred Stock, (B) the
Purchase Warrant and (C) the Control Warrant, and
(ii) granted WayPoint certain registration rights.
A.
Company Rights and Obligations
In connection with the WayPoint Transaction, we authorized the
creation of a new class of Series B Preferred Stock,
constituting of one authorized share and with the rights,
preferences and obligations set forth in the Series B
Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The one authorized
share of Series B Preferred Stock was issued to WayPoint.
The Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock provides the holder
thereof the right to designate two members to the Board of
directors of the Company, and upon the occurrence of a Default,
the holder may cause us to increase the number of directors of
our board of directors, and elect such additional members, so
that the holder is able to designate a majority of our board of
directors.
The Purchaser Warrant is exercisable until the tenth anniversary
from the issuance thereof at an exercise price of $0.01 per
share. The Purchaser Warrant provides anti-dilution protection
so that the number of shares that may be purchased pursuant to
the Purchase Warrant shall be equal to 35% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, as measured
at the time of exercise.
The Control Warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $0.01
per share, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the occurrence
of a Default that remains uncured for seventy-five days;
provided, that payment to the holders of Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock of all amounts owing to them as a
result of a Default shall be considered a cure of a Default;
(ii) the date on which a Change of Control, if Acquisition
Inc. is not able to redeem all of the Senior Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock in accordance with its terms;
(iii) seventy-five days after the date on which the third
Default has occurred within a consecutive twelve-month period;
and (iv) May 23, 2016, if Acquisition Inc. is not able
to redeem all of the Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock in accordance with its terms.
Additionally, after November 23, 2011, WayPoint can require
the Company to file a registration statement, registering for
resale all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
WayPoint Warrants. WayPoint was also granted piggyback
registration rights for any registration statement after this
registration statement and any registration statement we file
with respect to Common Stock held by Diana Francis. If we
II-2
are required to file a registration statement registering
securities for resale by WayPoint and the registration statement
is not timely filed, does not become effective within a certain
time period, or ceases to be available for sales thereunder for
certain time periods, then we must pay WayPoint an amount in
cash equal to one percent (1%) of the value of WayPoints
securities on the date of such event and each monthly
anniversary thereof until cured, subject to a cap of ten percent
(10%) of the value of WayPoints registrable securities.
B.
Acquisition Inc.s Rights and
Obligations
The holder of Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock is
entitled to receive dividends from Acquisition Inc. at a rate
equal to 14% of an original stated amount of $1,000 per share of
Senior Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock
(Stated Amount), with such dividends
payable quarterly. Dividends are payable out of any assets
legally available therefor prior and in preference to any
declaration or payment of any dividend to the holders of Common
Stock of Acquisition Inc. Such dividends shall accrue from the
date of issuance of the Senior Series A Redeemable
Preferred Stock and shall accrue day to day, whether or not
declared. Such dividends shall be cumulative so that if such
dividends in respect of any previous or current annual dividend
period shall not have been paid, the deficiency shall first be
fully paid before any dividend or other distribution shall be

Private
Placement of Series A Preferred Stock
|
A.
Private Placement
On November 23, 2010, in conjunction with our acquisition of
FDF, we effected a first closing of our private placement of
Series A Preferred Stock. We effected a final closing of this
private placement on February 9, 2011, with total sales of $6.0
million in exchange for a total of 6.0 million shares of Series
A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 1.8 million shares of
Common Stock at $2.00 per share.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to
payment of dividends from us of 9% of the purchase price per
share of $1.00, with such dividends payable quarterly. Dividends
are payable out of any assets legally available therefor prior
and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend
to the holders of our Common Stock. Such dividends accrue from
the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and
accrue day to day, whether or not declared. Such dividends are
cumulative so that if such dividends in respect of any previous
or current annual dividend period shall not have been paid, the
deficiency shall first be fully paid before any dividend or
other distribution shall be paid on or declared and set apart
for the Common Stock. Additionally, each holder of Series A
Preferred has the right, at the option of the holder at any
time, to convert shares of Series A Preferred into shares
of Common Stock at an initial conversion ratio of
one-to-one.
The Series A Preferred Stock matures at the end of
72 months from the date of issuance, at which time the
Series A holders will sell their shares back to Company at
face value.
The Series A Warrants are exercisable for three years at an
exercise price equal $2.00 per share. The Series A Warrants
provide for full ratchet price protection for a two year period,
followed by weighted average price protection for the balance of
the warrant term. The Series A Warrants contain customary
anti-dilution adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock
dividends and other similar corporate events. The Series A
II-3
Warrants may also be exercised on a cashless-exercise basis by
investors if a resale registration statement covering the shares
underlying the Series A Warrants has not been declared effective
within six months after their issuance. In addition, if a
registration statement registering for resale all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock and issuable upon exercise of the Series A
Warrants is not declared effective within 120 days of February
9, 2011, we are subject to pay upon demand to each holder of
registrable securities an amount in cash equal to two percent of
such holders investment amount on every 30 day
anniversary of such failure until such failure is cured, up to a
maximum amount of 10% of each holders investment amount.
In connection with the Series A Preferred Stock private
placement, we paid a placement agent a cash placement fee equal
to 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the placement and,
for nominal consideration, warrants to purchase 240,000 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock, equal to 4% of the number of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock sold, with an initial exercise price
of $1.00 per share. These warrants provide the holder thereof
with a cashless exercise right and are exercisable for a three
year period from the date of issuance.
We conducted no operations until October 31, 2008, at which
time our newly-formed and wholly owned subsidiary, NYTEX
Petroleum, Inc., a Delaware corporation, acquired the business
and operations of NYTEX Petroleum LLC, a Texas limited liability
company. In the exchange, all of the NYTEX Petroleum LLC members
transferred their membership units of NYTEX Petroleum LLC to
NYTEX Petroleum, Inc. in exchange for our Common Stock. After
the exchange of the 30,032,907 shares of our Common Stock
NYTEX Petroleum, LLC disseminated such shares as follows:
20,000,000 shares to our Chief Executive Officer, Michael
Galvis, 3,952,357 shares to Richard Buccellatos
wholly-owned company, Buccell, LLC, 1,013,425 shares to
Stan Zolek, 1,013,425 shares to Robert Pellegrino,
2,026,850 shares to William Brehmer, then our COO, and
2,026,850 shares to Georgianna Hanes, then our CFO.
From August 2008 through March 2010, we effected a limited
private placement of an aggregate of 6,058,652 shares of
our Common Stock, for $1.00 per share, for total proceeds of
$5,838,102. We also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of
5,885,902 shares of Common Stock for an exercise price of
$0.50 per share. The warrants expire three years from the date
of issuance.
In January 2010, upon the maturity of Bridge Loans, we paid an
accommodation fee to the Bridge Loan holders in the form of
59,375 shares of our Common Stock.
In connection with the re-acquisition of the Panhandle Field
Producing Property in December 2010, we issued 616,291 shares of
our Common Stock to the former owners as part of the
consideration paid to re-acquire the Panhandle Field Producing
Property. The aggregate fair value of the Common Stock issued
was $1,146,301.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued 871,337 shares
of our Common Stock to certain employees and individuals. The
fair value of the shares of approximately $1,015,525 was
recorded as stock-based compensation in our statements of
operations.

Exhibits
and Financial Statement Schedules
|
See the Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which it offers or sells
securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.
II-4
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the
information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would
not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the
low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes
in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
Calculation of Registration Fee table
in the effective registration statement.
(iii) to include any additional material information on the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement; provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange
Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) that, for determining liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, the Company will treat each post-effective
amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be
the initial bona fide offering.
(3) to remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain
unsold at the end of the offering.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-5
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused
this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized.
