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, 2012 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; including the granting of Visas for foreign guest workers 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, 2012, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended, as amended. 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

 

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

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

On July 26, 2013 the line of credit was renewed for the same amount with maturity date of September 26, 2013. The balance on the revolving line of credit is $1,140,605 at June 30, 2013.

The Company had originally filed against the Rushings for a Declaratory Judgment alleging they had failed to perform relative to a letter of intent with Texas Gulf Fabricators, Inc., or alternatively, that the letter of intent was not enforceable.  The Company also filed a conversion action against the Rushings for removing property from a fabrication facility.  The Rushing Family filed two separate counterclaims in the underlying state court actions before removing both actions to federal court in March 2013.  On April 13, 2013, the Federal Court denied jurisdiction and remanded the matter back to the Texas State Court in the proceedings known as: (i) Cause No. 2013-00543; Texas Gulf Energy, Inc. on behalf of CS Bankers V, LLC and Texas Gulf Fabricators, Inc. vs. Penn Rushing, et al, in the 270^th Judicial District Court of Harris County and (ii) Cause No. 2013-004690; Texas Gulf Energy, Inc. vs. Penn Rushing, et al, in the 270^th Judicial District Court of Harris County.  The Rushings' allegations include fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, equitable estoppel and securities violations.  

 

These claims relate to a letter of intent and foreclosure proceeding on a shop property in Baytown, Texas.  The Rushings have not disclosed an amount of damages sought. The Company is required to pay for the defense of Mr. Mathews, Mr. Crawford and Mr. Connolly.  On August 2, 2013 the 270^th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas granted the Company’s motion for summary judgement, and ruled the foreclosure was proper. The Company believes the Rushing's claims are without merit and intends to pursue its claims and defenses vigorously.

 

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.

 

Note 10 - Related Party Transactions

 

The Company's two majority owners as of June 30, 2013 maintain a 74.8% voting control of the Company. The Company utilizes corporations owned by such two majority stockholders that provide certain services to the Company’s construction services segment, which include the following:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

 

There has been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our fiscal 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC. For more information on our critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 7 of our fiscal 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. 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, 2013 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

 

Consolidated

 

Our consolidated revenues were $14.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 a decrease of $3.2 million, or 18%, from consolidated revenues of $17.3 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in consolidated revenues was a result of a decrease in headcount at International Plant Services, L.L.C. resulting from the unavailability of guest worker visas.

 

Consolidated net loss decreased from $264,250 in the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $245,768 in the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease of $18,482 was primarily due to decreased general and administrative expenses. Gross profit decreased to 21.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 24% in the same period a year earlier.

 

Our consolidated selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $3.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $4.5 million in the same period a year earlier. The decrease of $1.1 million, or 24.4%, was primarily related to lower operating costs due to a reduction in additional finance and legal expenses related to becoming a fully reporting public company, acquisitions, decreased business volumes and strategic initiatives. SG&A expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2013 included $373,170 in non-cash compensation compared to $427,167 in the same period of 2012. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 24.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 25.9% in the same period in the prior fiscal year. We expect SG&A as a percent of revenue in future quarters to drop as new business units bring on projects and associated revenues in accordance with our 2013 plan.

 

The effective tax rate was a benefit of 34% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and was a benefit of 34% in the same period in 2012.

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

 

Consolidated

 

Our consolidated revenues were $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 18%, from consolidated revenues of $8.3 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in consolidated revenues was a result of decreased headcount at International Plant Services, L.L.C. resulting from the unavailability of guest worker visas.

 

Consolidated gross profit decreased from $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease of $0.9 million, or 41%, was primarily due to lower gross margins on individual projects. Gross margins decreased to 18.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 26.6% in the same period a year earlier. The gross margin decreased due to the loss of guest worker visas at IPS and a decline in industrial services projects and reduced rates and utilization.

 

Consolidated SG&A expenses were $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $2.6 million in the same period a year earlier. The decrease of $.6 million, or 23%, was primarily related to lower operating costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 due to lower finance and legal expenses. SG&A expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2013 included $186,585 in non-cash compensation compared to $213,584 in the same quarter in the prior year. Additionally, non-cash expenses of $49,140 were realized as part of our continuing review of past and current accounting practices. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 29.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 31% in the same period in the prior fiscal year.

 

The effective tax rate was a benefit of 34% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and was an expense of 34% in the same period in 2012.

 

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, 2013				June 30, 2012
Net income (loss)		$	(246	)		$	(264	)
Interest expense			165				72
Income tax expense(benefit)			(152	)			(140	)
Depreciation and amortization			321				220
EBITDA		$	88			$	(112	)

 

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, 2013 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, 2013 totaled $373,530. 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

 

·

Inability to obtain guest worker visas for skilled craftsmen

 

·

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.

 

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 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.

 

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

 

Evaluation of Disclosure 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 Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013. We determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We did effect changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that materially affected, or that would reasonably be likely to affect materially, our internal control over financial reporting. There have been changes made in our internal controls and financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2013, that effect our report for such period. Material weaknesses in our internal controls were identified by the Company’s management, and reported to the Board of Directors and auditors in May, 2013. These material weaknesses were primarily related to errors in accounting as the Company changed accounting systems in June of 2012, which resulted in a number of accounting entries that were not properly reversed in the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Additionally, there were related balance sheet accounts that were not checked and verified. The Company has implemented new processes regarding the reconciliation, review and reporting of the accounts on a monthly basis and assigned new qualified personnel to operate the Company’s new accounting system to prevent these accounting errors from re-occurring, but there can be no assurance that every error will be detected. Management has taken steps which it believes will ensure, to the extent reasonably possible, that this type of error will not occur in the future.

 

 

PART II

 

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

 

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 claim that had activity during the period covered by this report is as follows:

 

Cause No. 4:13-cv-00505, Michael Rushing, Stephanie Rushing, Penn Rushing and Florence Rushing v. Texas Gulf Energy, Inc. on behalf of CS Bankers V, LLC, Texas Gulf Fabricators, Inc., David Mathews, Craig Crawford and Timothy Connolly, United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.

 

The Company originally filed against the Rushings for a declaratory judgment alleging they had failed to perform relative to a letter of intent with Texas Gulf Fabricators, Inc., or alternatively, that the letter or intent was not enforceable.  The Company also filed a conversion action against the Rushings for removing property from a fabrication facility.  The Rushing Family filed two separate counterclaims in the underlying state court actions before removing both actions to federal court in March 2013.  On April 13, 2013, the Federal Court denied jurisdiction and remanded the matter back to the Texas State Court in the proceedings known as: (i) Cause No. 2013-00543; Texas Gulf Energy, Inc. on behalf of CS Bankers V, LLC and Texas Gulf Fabricators, Inc. vs. Penn Rushing, et al, in the 270^th Judicial District Court of Harris County and (ii) Cause No. 2013-004690; Texas Gulf Energy, Inc. vs. Penn Rushing, et al, in the 270^th Judicial District Court of Harris County.  The Rushings' allegations include fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, equitable estoppel and securities violations.  These claims relate to a letter of intent and foreclosure proceeding on a shop property in Baytown, Texas.  The Rushings have not disclosed an amount of damages sought. The Company is required to pay for the defense of Mr. Mathews, Mr. Crawford and Mr. Connolly. On Friday, August 9,2013, the 270^th Judicial District Court of Harris County ruled in favor of the company’s motion for Summary Judgment related to the foreclosure.  The Company believes the Rushing's claims are without merit and intends to pursue its claims and defenses vigorously.

 

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 claim 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 or operations or liquidity.
