Texas Gulf Energy, Incorporated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Gulf Energy, Incorporated (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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, 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 implemented by its customer base who are primarily in the energy sector. Planned maintenance projects at many of the Company’s customers’ facilities are typically scheduled in the Spring and the Fall, when the demand for energy is lower. The Company’s 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 results for the fiscal year or future operating results.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses resulting in an accumulated deficit of $820,404 as of March 31, 2014 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans and or private placement of common stock.
Taxes
The statutory tax rate for the period ended March 31, 2014 was 34%. The effective tax rate was due to a net operating loss that resulted in a benefit for the period ended March 31, 2014, however the Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance for that benefit.
Note 2 – Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its unaudited consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe that there are any new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 3 – Convertible Debt
Fishbone Notes
On February 3, 2012, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,283,126 (the “Notes”), to the owners of Fishbone Solutions, Ltd. (“Fishbone”), in exchange for all of the equity interests in Fishbone. On the closing date of the acquisition of Fishbone, the Company issued the Notes to the equity-holders of Fishbone, in the proportional principal amounts directed by the equity-holders. The Notes accrue interest at the rate of 0.19% per annum, and the principal and accrued interest of the Notes are payable only through the conversion of the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), at $0.12 per share.
Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Fishbone equity-holders agreed to limit conversions and sales of the Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of the Notes as follows:
| (a) | No conversions or sales until the one year anniversary of the issuance of the Notes (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 through the day before the two year anniversary of the issuance of the Notes (February 3, 2014); |
| (c) | An additional fifteen percent (15%) from the two year anniversary until the day before the three year anniversary of the issuance of the Notes; (February 3, 2015); and |
| (d) | The entire remaining balance of principal and accrued interest and unpaid interest becoming due, and the Notes automatically converting, on the three year anniversary of issuance of the Notes, at which time all limitations on sale by the holders of the Notes will be lifted. |
The Notes may also become due and fully convertible in the event of a liquidation event or change of control of the Company. During 2013, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Fishbone and two other subsidiaries of the Company, pursuant to which the buyer assumed $597,000 in principal amount of the Notes, and $103,649 in principal amount the Notes, plus accrued interest of $2,087, was converted into Common Stock at $0.12 per share. On February 6, 2014, the Company authorized the issuance of 1,861,240 shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of $223,349 in principal and $103 in accrued interest of the remaining Note.
The Company’s outstanding convertible debt was $362,622 as of March 31, 2014 and $585,971 as of December 31, 2013.

Note 4 - Lines of Credit
On February 29, 2012, the Company entered into a $3 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 how long 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 has been paid down to $0 at March 31, 2014 and $0 was available at March 31, 2014. This agreement has been terminated by the Company as a result of the disposition at note 11.
On September 18, 2013, the Company entered into a $1.5 million receivable purchase agreement with 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 10% and 14.30% of the receivable invoice amounts depending on how long 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 has been paid down to $0 at March 31, 2014 and $0 was available at March 31, 2014. This agreement has been terminated by the Company as a result of the disposition at note 11.
On September 14, 2012, the Company entered into an accounts receivable purchase agreement with a merchant bank, under which the Company could draw up to $1 million. This facility was renewed on March 19, 2014, with $500,000 in availability. Under the agreement, the Company can sell all rights, title and interests in its accounts receivables for the total amount of the receivable invoices, less a discount of 15% to the merchant bank. Upon collection, the merchant bank will remit a rebate to the Company in an amount between 10% and 14.30% of the receivable invoice amounts, depending on how long it takes to collect the receivable. The sooner the amount is collected, the greater the rebate received by the Company. If a receivable is not collected within 90 days, the Company must repurchase the unpaid receivable for a price of $0.90 for each $1.00 invoiced. The Company retains the right to repurchase any of its invoices at any time from the merchant bank. As of March 31, 2014, the balance due under the purchase agreement was $148,690, and $351,310 was available. This agreement can be terminated at any time by the Company.
Note 5 - Notes Payable
The Company assumed a $422,529 loan due to a former shareholder of Fishbone in 2012 that matured in June 2013. That loan was in default as of March 31, 2014. The loan has a 4.58% annual interest rate (10% per annum upon default). The balance outstanding at March 31, 2014 was $ 10,308.
The Company has financed its insurance with a loan with an annual interest rate of 4.45%. That loan had a balance of $107,648 as of March 31, 2014, which will be paid down with nine equal monthly payments of $35,883.
On January 1, 2012, the Company entered into a three year consulting agreement with a consultant. The consulting agreement provides that the consultant is entitled to compensation of $12,000 per month for the remainder of the term of the agreement, even if the agreement is terminated by the consultant under certain circumstances. The consultant terminated the agreement in December 2013, and requested payment for the remaining term of the agreement. As a result, the Company recorded a note payable of $144,000 on December 31, 2013, of which there is a balance of $108,000 as of March 31, 2014.
Note 6 - Stock Based Compensation
The Company charged stock based compensation cost against income in the amount of $45,000 and $186,585 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for vesting of shares of Common Stock awarded by the Company during prior year.
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 three months ended March 31, 2014 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 three months ended March 31, 2014 in the form of 10,000,000 Series B Preferred Stock, convertible into 58,823,529 shares of Common Stock and a convertible note of $362,622, convertible at $0.12 per share into 3,021,850 shares of Common Stock, which could have a dilutive effect on loss per share. However, in periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of shares outstanding excludes equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Note 8 – 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 LLC et al.
International Plant Services, LLC (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 fifty-five (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 United States District Court remanded the ACAIN case to the 113th District Court on September 15, 2012. Subsequently, Judge Patricia J. Kerrigan, 113th District Court, State of Texas, dismissed the case. While the Company continues to believe this lawsuit is without merit, the ACAIN plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal to the Texas Court of Appeals, First District. The matter was submitted on April 29, 2014 , there will be no oral argument permitted.
| 5 |
Cause No. 2012-23084; Ardent Services, LLC vs. David D. Mathews and Larry J. Laqua.
The Company has settled all matters related to the Company in the Ardent matter and will not continue providing the defense of its employees, Mr. Mathews (former President and CEO of the Company) and Mr. Laqua (Vice President of a Company business unit), 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 discontinue its sponsorship and no longer assist in the defense of Mr. Mathews and Mr. Laqua. The suit was initially instituted on April 20, 2012. The plaintiff is seeking relief in the form of injunctive and unspecified monetary relief. On October 24, 2013, the Company and the plaintiff entered into a Settlement Agreement whereby the plaintiff released the Company from all claims arising of this lawsuit. In exchange therefore, the Company agreed (i) to pay plaintiff the sum of $10,000 for attorney’s fees and (ii) through December 31, 2014 to not directly or indirectly solicit any electrical and instrumentation business from 11 facilities in the State of Texas.
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 the Rushings 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. 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.
The Company has received notification that a legal action has been initiated with the Republic of the Philippines, Department of Labor and Employment, National Labor Relations Commissions by Benjamin A. Villejo against International Plant Services LLC (“IPS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, MBC Human Resources Corporation (“MBC”), a Philippines corporation, and Nida P. Sarmiento, President of MBC. The action alleges that wages and food allowances are owed to Mr. Villejo. MBC is majority owned and controlled by Noureddine Ayed and Karim Ayed, who are majority shareholders of the Company. IPS and the Company have agreements with MBC to provide the training and processing of guest workers from the Philippines and to pay MBC a fee based upon hours worked by the guest workers. The Company believes that Mr. Villejo’s claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend IPS.
Note 9 – Related Party Transactions
The Company's two majority owners as of March 31, 2014 maintain a 74.8 % voting control of the Company. The Company utilizes corporations owned by the majority stockholders to provide certain services to the Company, which include the following:
| • | Testing | |
| • | Recruiting | |
| • | Mobilization | |
| • | Training | |
| • | Lodging | |
| • | Facilities | |
| • | Foreign payroll |
| 6 |
Management believes that the amounts paid for these services are at or below those rates that the Company would pay to unrelated third parties and that the interests of the Company’s stockholders are best served by continuing to use these services provided by these companies.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company owed a balance of $25,657 to related parties for services performed by affiliates of the Company.
The Company primarily utilizes a foreign company affiliated by common ownership for testing, recruiting, mobilization and training the Company’s foreign workforce for construction projects. The Company pays $ 1.40 per hour billed by these employees for all of these services. Total charges these services for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1,316.
Note 10 – Significant Customers
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 the Company derived a significant amount of revenue from three customers comprising 15% , 21%, and 34% of the total revenue for the period, compared to four customers during the three months ended March 31, 2013 comprising of 13.6%, 8.6%, 8.4% and 8.2% of the total revenue for the period.

OVERVIEW
Through our two subsidiaries, International Plant Services, LLC and Texas Gulf Specialty Services, Inc., we provide specialty constructions services to a wide range of industrial and energy sector customers. We provide most of our services through International Plant Services, LLC, or IPS, which includes managing and executing major capital and turnaround projects, the provision of project management personnel, and other construction project resources, such as project planners/schedulers, engineers, welders, fitters and millwrights. A significant portion of the engineers and skilled personnel that IPS provides are foreign nationals working as guest workers pursuant to visas granted by the United States government. Our project experience includes turnarounds, retrofits, modifications to existing facilities, as well as construction of new facilities in the refinery, petrochemical, mining, and power production industries.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2013. For more information on our critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 7 of that 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
Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Our consolidated revenues were $976,423 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of approximately $2.4 million, or approximately 71%, from consolidated revenues of approximately $3.4 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in consolidated revenues was primarily a result of a decrease in the personnel available to IPS due to the recent lack of availability of guest worker visas from the United States government.
Our consolidated selling, general & administrative, or SG&A, expenses were $664,905 in the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1,075,756 in the same period a year earlier. The decrease of $410,851, or approximately 38%, was primarily due to decreased business volumes and fewer strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions, in 2014, resulting in lower finance and legal expenses in that period. SG&A expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2014 included non-cash compensation of $45,000, compared to $186,585 in such expenses in the same period of 2013. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to approximately 68% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to approximately 32% for the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Our consolidated net income was approximately $274,772 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to a net loss of $572,784 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in income of $847, 556 was primarily due to the loss of income generated by the operations we sold in 2013 and the decrease in revenue at IPS. Our gross profit decreased to $104,594, approximately 10% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $608,110, or approximately 18% of revenue, in the comparable prior period.
The statutory tax rate for the period ended march 31, 2014 was 34%. The effective tax rate was due to a net operating loss that resulted in a benefit for the period ended March 31, 2014, however the Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance for the benefit.

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 three months ended March 31, 2014 were cash generated from operations, cash on hand at the beginning of the quarter and our accounts receivable line of credit. We had cash on hand as of March 31, 2014 totaling $92,671. We expect to fund our operations for the next twelve months with this cash on hand and cash generated from operations. However, there can be no assurance that we will achieve our forecasted cash flow.
Factors that routinely impact our short-term liquidity include, but are not limited to:
| · | Capital expenditures; |
| · | Changes in levels of our working capital components; |
| · | Terms of our contracts regarding the timing of our billing our customers and the collection of those billings; |
| · | We bill some of our cost plus and fixed price contract based on milestones achieved, which may require us to incur significant expenditures prior to collections from our customers; |
| · | We normally bill our time and material contracts in arrears, which routinely requires us to cover the costs associated with those contracts until they can be billed and collected; and |
Some of our large construction projects may require significant retentions or security in the form of letters of credit. Other factors that may impact both our short-term and long-term liquidity include:
| · | Strategic investments in new operations; |
| · | Our inability to obtain guest worker visas for skilled workers needed for the business of IPS; |
| · | Costs of litigation against us and those for whom we may have to provide indemnification; and |
| · | Contract disputes or collection issues. |
GOING CONCERN
The independent auditors' audit report accompanying our December 31, 2013 audited consolidated financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared "assuming that we will continue as a going concern," which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

Outlook
We saw improvement in our construction services business in 2013, and believe that growth in this business continues to be in our best interest. Apart from the limited construction opportunities in portions of our downstream petroleum market, we believe that the overall outlook for our core markets is positive. However, our reliance on foreign temporary workers as a primary revenue driver needs to change.

Not applicable.
| Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as that term is defined under the Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded, as of the period covered by this report that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow decisions regarding the required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13-a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
| 10 |
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 our consolidated financial statements, or are otherwise disclosed, in accordance with ASC 450-20, “Loss Contingencies”. We provide for specific reserves 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. There was no known activity regarding any claim against us during the period covered by this report.
| Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
We are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and are therefore not required to provide information under this item.
| Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
On February 25, 2014, we issued 1,500,000 shares of our common stock to an employee as part of his employment compensation. The shares of common stock were offered to our employee, who we reasonably believed to be an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. The offer and sale was made without registration under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. No general solicitation or general advertising was used in connection with the offering of the common stock. We disclosed to the employee that the shares of common stock could not be sold unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is available, and the certificates representing the shares included a legend to that effect.
