FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-Q which address activities, events or developments which we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “estimates,” “predicts” and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements include, among others, such things as:

 

•

amounts and nature of future revenues and margins from our Construction Services and Fishbone Solutions segments;

 

•

the likely impact of new or existing regulations or market forces on the demand for our services;

 

•

expansion and other development trends of the industries we serve;

 

•

our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations or to raise cash in order to meet our short and long-term capital requirements; and

 

These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses we made in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including:

 

•

the risk factors discussed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

 

•

the inherently uncertain outcome of current and future litigation;

 

•

the adequacy of our reserves for contingencies;

 

•

economic, market or business conditions in general and in the oil, gas and power industries in particular;

 

•

changes in laws or regulations; and

 

•

other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

 

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on us or our business operations. We assume no obligation to update publicly, except as required by law, any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Gulf Energy, Incorporated (“TGE”, “we”, “our”, “us”, “its” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, the information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described herein that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. The Company’s business is cyclical due to the scope and timing of projects released by its customer base. Planned maintenance projects at customer facilities are typically scheduled in the spring and the fall when the demand for energy is lower. Our business can also be affected by seasonal weather conditions including hurricanes, snowstorms, abnormally low or high temperatures or other inclement weather, which can result in reduced activities. Accordingly, results for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of future operating results.

 

Note 2 – Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

 

Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income

 

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that comprehensive income be reported in either a single contiguous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011; therefore, the Company will adopt ASU 2011-05 in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. We do not believe ASU 2011-05 will impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations, as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation.

 

Note 3 – Convertible Debt

 

Fishbone Note

 

On February 3, 2012 the Company issued a convertible note associated with the purchase of Fishbone Solutions, Inc. (“Fishbone”), on the closing date of the transaction, the Company issued individually to the equity-holders of Fishbone, promissory notes (also referred to herein as the “Notes”), in the proportional principal amounts directed by the equity-holders, in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000 together with interest thereon at the rate of .19% per annum, the principal and accrued interest thereon being convertible into shares of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), at $0.12 per share, with the sale of such restricted Common Stock being subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 and any other pertinent rules of law regarding restricted securities.

 

Such equity-holders will be limited to selling stock converted from the Notes as follows:

 

(a) zero percent (0%) until the one year anniversary; (February 3, 2013)

 

 

(b) no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the principal amount and accrued interest of each Note from the one year anniversary date (February 3, 2013) until the day before the two year anniversary;

(c) an additional fifteen percent (15%) from the two year anniversary (February 13, 2014) until the day before the three year anniversary of the Notes; (February 13, 2015) and

(d) the entire remaining balance of accrued interest and principal thereon becoming due and the stock converted from the Notes become unrestricted for sale on the three year anniversary of the Notes, at which time all such limitations on sale will be lifted.

 

Notwithstanding, the equity-holders must commence any conversion process of any remaining balance on the Notes no later than the third year anniversary (February 3, 2015). The Notes may also become due and subject to rights of conversion in the event of a liquidation event or change of control.

 

Convertible debt at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 consist of the following:

 

		June 30, 2012				Dec. 31, 2011
Fishbone Note		$	1,500,000			$	-
Less: current maturities of long-term debt			-				-
Total long-term debt		$	1,500,000			$	-

 

 

Note 4 - Lines of Credit

 

On February 29, 2012, the Company entered into a $5 million receivables purchase agreement with a merchant bank. Under the agreement, the Company can sell all rights, title and interests in their accounts receivables for the total amount of the receivable invoices, less a discounting factor of 15% to the factoring company. The factoring company will remit a rebate to the Company of an amount between 14.30% and 10% of the receivable invoice amounts depending on length of time it takes the factoring company to collect the receivable. The sooner the amount is collected, the greater the rebate received by the Company. If after 90 days it isn’t collected, the Company agreed to repurchase the receivables for $.90 for each $1.00 invoiced. The Company retains the right to repurchase any of its invoices at any time from the merchant bank. The balance on the purchase agreement was $2,055,405 and $2,944,595 was available at June 30, 2012.

 

Fishbone Solutions, Inc. has a $500,000 revolving line of credit with a financial institution secured by all assets of the subsidiary bearing interest at 6.5%, maturing September 2012. The balance on the line of credit was $132,900 and $367,000 was available at June 30, 2012.

 

Note 5 - Note Payable

 

On June 13, 2008 Fishbone Solutions LTD, now known as Fishbone Solutions, Inc. executed a promissory note payable to John W. Bones and Patricia Bones in the amount of $575,000 payable monthly for the term of fifty-nine months with interest at 4.48% per annum. The loan balance as of June 30, 2012 was $169,808.

 

Note 6 - Stock Based Compensation

 

The stock based compensation cost that has been charged against income by the Company was $427,167 and $0.00 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for Common Stock awarded by the Company. The Company entered into employment agreements with the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and other key employees and granted 28,477,806 restricted shares of Common Stock vesting over 36 months. The fair value of the Common Stock on the date of grant was $0.09 or $2,563,002.

 

 

Note 7 - Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. The calculation of basic earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 includes the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, such as convertible preferred stock or convertible debt. Dilutive securities existed for the six months ended June 30, 2012 in the form of convertible preferred stock series A, and B and convertible debt. Due to net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 these securities had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings diluted earnings per share.

 

Note 8 – Income Taxes

 

The Company complies with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred income taxes are computed using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets to the extent management believes that it is not probable that the assets will be recovered.

The Company provides for income taxes regardless of whether it has received a tax assessment. Taxes are provided when it is considered probable that additional taxes will be due in excess of amounts included in the tax return. The Company continually reviews exposure to additional income taxes due, and as further information is known or events occur, adjustments may be recorded.

Note 10 – Acquisitions

 

On January 27, 2012, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Texas Gulf Oil & Gas, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“TGOG”), and the equity-holders of TGOG. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired all of the common stock of TGOG from its equity-holders, representing one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of TGOG, in exchange for 4,000,000 newly-issued shares of Common Stock, of which 2,200,000 shares are being issued to seven (7) of the equity-holders and 1,800,000 shares are to be issued to one other equity-holder at a later date, which shall occur not later than 180 days following the closing date and is subject to certain conditions. As a result of the transaction, TGOG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

 

The Company’s acquisition of TGOG did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and therefore pro forma disclosures is not presented.

 

On February 3, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Fishbone Solutions LTD (now known as Fishbone Solution, Inc.). The consideration paid was approximately $1,921,000 for 100% of the company. The consideration consisted of $421,000 cash and a convertible note with restrictions for the amount of $1,500,000.

 

The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair values was as follows:

 

Accounts receivable, net	$	619,806
Prepaid assets		47,653
Property and equipment		1,175,000
Goodwill		862,889
Total assets acquired		2,705,348
Liabilities assumed		784,160
Total	$	1,921,188

 

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company as if the consolidation of Fishbone had occurred on January 1, 2011. The pro forma financial information gives effect to the Company’s consolidation of Fishbone by the application of the pro forma adjustments to the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company. Such unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical financial statements of the Company and Fishbone and certain adjustments, which the Company believes to be reasonable based on current available information, to give effect to these transactions. Pro forma adjustments were made from January 1, 2011 up to the date of the consolidation with the actual results reflected thereafter in the pro forma financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations actually would have been if the consolidation of Fishbone had occurred on January 1, 2011, or what such results will be for any future periods. The actual results in the periods following the consolidation date may differ significantly from that reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data and the actual amounts.

 

The financial information of Fishbone has been derived from the historical financial statements of Fishbone, which were prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

 

Unaudited adjustments have been made to adjust the results of Fishbone to reflect additional amortization expense that would have been incurred assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets as well as additional interest expense on the debt assumed had been applied from January 1, 2011, as well as additional pro forma adjustments, to give effect to these transactions occurring on January 1, 2011.

Note 11 – Contingencies

 

Various legal actions, claims, and other contingencies arise in the normal course of our business. Contingencies are recorded in the consolidated financial statements, or are otherwise disclosed, in accordance with ASC 450-20, “Loss Contingencies”. Specific reserves are provided for loss contingencies to the extent we conclude that a loss is both probable and estimable. We use a case-by-case evaluation of the underlying data and update our evaluation as further information becomes known, and the known claims as of this date are as follows: 

 

Civil Action 4:12-CV-00055; Renato Acain et al vs. International Plant Services L.L.C. et al.

 

International Plant Services, L.L.C. (IPS) is a subsidiary of the Company. IPS has been sued in a matter presently pending in United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, Houston Division by 55 Filipino workers alleging violations of RICO and other fiduciary errors. The suit was initially instituted on May 27, 2011 and removed to U.S. District Court on January 6, 2012. The plaintiff is seeking relief in the form of unspecified monetary relief. The Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit. The Company intends to pursue its claims and defenses vigorously.

Cause No. 2012-23084; Ardent Services, L.L.C. vs. David D. Mathews and Larry J. Laqua.

 

The Company is providing the defense of its employees, Mr. Mathews (President and CEO of the Company) and Mr. Laqua (Vice President of a Company subsidiary), in a matter involving their former employer, Ardent.  Ardent is suing Mr. Mathews and Mr. Laqua in the 234th District Court, Harris County, Houston, Texas for breach of confidentiality and non-solicitation clauses in certain employment agreements, along with other breaches of duties allegedly owed.  The Company intends to sponsor and fully assist in the defense of Mr. Mathews and Mr. Laqua.  On behalf of Mathews and Laqua, Company legal counsel has filed a motion to dismiss based on a forum selection clause in a subject agreement. The suit was initially instituted on April 20, 2012. The plaintiff is seeking relief in the form of injunctive and unspecified monetary relief. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

 

Based on our knowledge as of the date of this filing, we believe that any amounts exceeding our recorded accruals should not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. It is the opinion of management that the eventual resolution of the above claims is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or operating results. However, the results of litigation are inherently unpredictable and the possibility exists that the ultimate resolution of one or more of these matters could result in a negative material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

 

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. For more information on our critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 7 of our fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following section provides certain information with respect to our critical accounting estimates as of the close of our most recent quarterly period.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

 

Consolidated

 

Our consolidated revenues were $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $3.2 million, or 23%, from consolidated revenues of $14.1 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in consolidated revenues was a result of an increase in utilization at International Plant Services, L.L.C., the underlying business environment and certain acquisitions completed by the Company.

 

Our consolidated gross profit increased from $1.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $4.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $2.5 million or 147%, was primarily due to increased revenue and better employee utilization. Gross margins increased to 24% in the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 12% in the same period a year earlier. Consolidated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.2 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $3.3 million, or 275%, was primarily related to higher operating costs in the first half of fiscal 2012 due to the addition of new operating units that did not generate revenue, additional finance and legal expenses related to becoming a fully reporting public company, acquisitions, increased business volumes and strategic initiatives. SG&A expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2012 included $427,167 in non-cash compensation not incurred in the first half of 2011. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 26% in the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 9% in the same period in the prior fiscal year. We expect SG&A as percentage of revenue in future quarters to drop as our new business units bring on projects and associated revenues in accordance with our 2012 plan.

 

The effective tax rate was a benefit of 34% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and was an expense of 36% in the same period in 2011.

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

 

Consolidated

 

Consolidated revenues were $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, decrease of $.1 million, or 1%, from consolidated revenues of $8.4 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in consolidated revenues was a result of decreased utilization at International Plant Services, L.L.C., during the quarter as we mobilized for new projects.

 

Consolidated gross profit increased from $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $.9 million, or 69%, was primarily due to higher gross margins on individual projects. Gross margins increased to 27% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 from 15% in the same period a year earlier. The gross margin improved due to improved rates and utilization. The Company also improved rates we charged to our customers and have negotiated better rates from our vendors.

 

Consolidated selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $2.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $.6 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $2 million, or 333%, was primarily related to higher operating costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 due to the addition of new operating units that did not generate revenue in the quarter, additional finance and legal expenses related to becoming a fully reporting public company, acquisitions, increased business volumes and strategic initiatives. SG&A expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2012 included $214,000 in non-cash compensation not incurred in the 2nd quarter of 2011. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 31% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 7% in the same period in the prior fiscal year. We expect SG&A as a percent of revenue in future quarters to drop as our new business units bring on projects and associated revenues in accordance with our 2012 plan.

 

The effective tax rate was a benefit of 34% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and was an expense of 20% in the same period in 2011.

 

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

 

EBITDA is a supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We have presented EBITDA because it is used by the financial community as a method of measuring our performance and of evaluating the market value of companies considered to be in similar businesses. We believe that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net income” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA. Since EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings as an indicator of operating performance. EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. As EBITDA excludes certain financial information compared with net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the type of events and transactions that are excluded. Our non-GAAP performance measure, EBITDA, has certain material limitations as follows:

 

•

It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations, pay commitment fees to maintain our credit facility, and incur fees to issue letters of credit under the credit facility, interest expense is a necessary and ongoing part of our costs and has assisted us in generating revenue. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.

 

•

It does not include income taxes. Because the payment of income taxes is a necessary and ongoing part of our operations, any measure that excludes income taxes has material limitations.

 

•

It does not include depreciation or amortization expense. Because we use capital and intangible assets to generate revenue, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our cost structure. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation or amortization expense has material limitations.

 

A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income follows: (in 000’s)

 

		Six Months Ended
		June 30, 2012				June 30, 2011
Net income(loss)		$	(264	)		$	266
Interest expense			72				1
Income tax expense (benefit)			(141	)			155
Depreciation and amortization			220				53
EBITDA		$	(113	)		$	475

 

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

 

Overview

 

We define liquidity as the ongoing ability to pay our liabilities as they become due, fund business operations and meet all monetary contractual obligations. Our primary sources of liquidity for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was cash generated from operations, cash on hand at the beginning of the quarter and our accounts receivable line of credit. Cash on hand at June 30, 2012 totaled $1.9 million. We expect to fund our operations for the next twelve months through the use of cash generated from operations and existing cash balances. However, there can be no assurance that we will achieve our forecasted cash flow, which could result in borrowings under our credit facility.

 

 

Factors that routinely impact our short-term liquidity and that may impact our long-term liquidity include, but are not limited to:

 

•

Changes in working capital

 

•

Contract terms that determine the timing of billings to customers and the collection of those billings

 

•

Some cost plus and fixed price customer contracts are billed based on milestones which may require us to incur significant expenditures prior to collections from our customers.

 

•

Time and material contracts are normally billed in arrears. Therefore, we are routinely required to carry these costs until they can be billed and collected.

 

•

Some of our large construction projects may require significant retentions or security in the form of letters of credit.

 

•

Capital expenditures

 

Other factors that may impact both short and long-term liquidity include:

 

•

Acquisitions of new businesses

 

•

Strategic investments in new operations

 

•

Contract disputes or collection issues

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have not declared any dividends on our Common Stock since our inception. Any future dividend payments will depend on our financial condition, capital requirements and earnings as well as other factors the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) may deem relevant. There are no dividend restrictions that limit our ability to pay dividends on our Common Stock in our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. Our governing statute, Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), does provide limitations on our ability to declare dividends. Section 78.288 of the NRS prohibits us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

(a) we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or

 

(b) our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if we were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders who may have preferential rights and whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution (except as otherwise specifically allowed by our Articles of Incorporation).

 

Outlook

 

We have seen what we consider to be a strong recovery in the underlying business environment in which the Company operates. We continue to see signs of recovery and growth and plan to capitalize on opportunities that are presented by the market as it recovers further in the coming months and years. There is a significant increased bidding activity domestically and internationally that we believe will bring additional revenue opportunities to the Company.

 

 

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide information under this item.

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e).

 

The disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors or fraud. The design of our internal control system takes into account the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be weighed against the costs. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the acts of key individuals, collusion or management override.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at June 30, 2012.

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
