Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rod’s Production Services, LLC as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2013
NOTE A – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES
Rod’s Production Services, LLC (the “Company”) was formed on November 3, 2010 as an Oklahoma limited liability company and is based in Oklahoma. The Company provides rental and supply services to the oil and gas industry primarily in Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and Ohio. No member shall be liable for the expenses, liabilities or obligations of the Company. The company will continue perpetually until terminated pursuant to statue or any provision of the limited liability amendment.
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). A summary of the significant accounting polices applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
2. | Variable Interest Entity |
Variable interest entities (VIEs) are entities that, by design, either (1) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) have equity investors that do not have the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses, or do not have the right to receive the residual returns of the entity.
The primary beneficiary of a VIE (i.e., the party that has a controlling financial interest) is required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (2) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
On September 30, 2013, the owners of Erick Flowback Services, LLC (“EFS”) acquired the Company through an equity acquisition. The operations of EFS are very similar in nature to the Company as they both provide flowback services to end customers. However, EFS operates in different geographies than the Company and is not seen as a direct competitor or business partner. EFS has total assets of $42,151,921 and total liabilities of $33,921,188 as of December 31, 2013.
The purchase price paid by the owners of EFS was $13,000,000 and was funded through a debt transaction whereby the Company and EFS, collectively as “borrowers”, executed a master loan arrangement (“MLA”) with Bank 7 (“Bank 7”) and International Bank of Commerce (“IBC”), collectively, as “lenders”. As part of the MLA, the Company and EFS borrowed an additional $7,000,000 to repay previously existing debt and fund general corporate purposes. The Company and EFS are considered jointly and severally liable for the debt, the debt is collateralized by the assets of the Company and EFS, and is further guaranteed by the owners of the Company. The debt is recorded solely on the books of EFS as the owners plan on paying for the debt service requirements with EFS cash flows with support to be provided by RPS at the owners’ discretion. From time to time, the Company may provide debt service payment support at the discretion of the owners. During the current year the Company paid approximately $1,200,000 to EFS to assist with
loan repayment. As the payments are being made at the sole discretion of the owners, this amount will vary from year to year. The funding provided by the Company was at the discretion of the owners and is treated as a capital distribution within the statement of members’ equity of the Company. Refer to Note D for further discussion of the related party transactions between the Company and EFS.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2013
NOTE A – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES
CONTINUED
2. | Variable Interest Entity - Continued |
The Company has determined that due to the joint and several nature of the debt arrangement with EFS, that the Company has a variable interest in EFS. In addition, the Company has determined that EFS is a VIE based on the debt guarantees provided by the owners of EFS which indicates that EFS lacks sufficient equity to permit EFS to finance its activities without support from other parties. To assess whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of EFS, the Company considered all facts and circumstances, including the purpose and design of EFS (including the purpose of the acquisition of the Company by the EFS owners), contractual agreements between the Company and EFS, and other related party transactions between the Company and EFS. The Company’s only contractual arrangement with EFS is the debt arrangement and based on such arrangement and consideration of other factors, the Company determined it does not have the power to direct the activities of EFS. While the Company does meet the second condition of a primary beneficiary through its variable interest, it is not considered the primary beneficiary as it does not meet both conditions of a primary beneficiary and therefore, the Company does not consolidate EFS.
The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with EFS is approximately $19.2 million.
3. | Management Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the assumptions used to calculate depreciation and amortization and the allowance for doubtful accounts.
4. | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly-liquid instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash balances are maintained at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation although such balances typically are in excess of the insured amount; however, no losses have been recognized as a result of these circumstances and management monitors the credit ratings and concentration of risk with these financial institutions on a continuing basis to safeguard cash deposits.
5. | Revenue Recognition |
The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, collection of the receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the price is fixed and determinable. Services are sold without warranty or right of return.
Services are typically provided on a day rate and revenue is recognized as the work progresses.

6. | Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers |
For 2013, four customers comprised the majority of the Company’s revenue. Revenue from these customers represented approximately 38%, 22%, 20%, and 12% of total revenues, respectively.
As of December 31, 2013 the amounts due from four customers comprised the majority of accounts receivables. Accounts receivables from these customers represented approximately 32%, 23%, 27%, and 13% of total accounts receivables, respectively.
7. | Accounts Receivable |
The Company does business and extends credit to its customers based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is evaluated continuously by Company management. Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection experience and existing economic conditions. If deemed uncollectible, the Company writes off accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $64,982 at December 31, 2013.
8. | Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment are presented at cost less accumulated depreciation. All acquisitions of property and equipment of a clearly immaterial nature and all expenditures for repairs, maintenance, renewals, and betterments that do not materially prolong the useful lives of assets are expensed. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the length of the related leases including renewals. When property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
Assets | Life | |
Building and building improvements | 20 - 39 Years | |
Leasehold improvements | 7 - 20 Years | |
Machinery and equipment | 5 - 8 Years | |
Office furniture and equipment | 5 - 7 Years | |
Vehicles and transportation equipment | 3 - 5 Years | |

NOTE A – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES CONTINUED
9. | Factoring Arrangement |
The Company is party to a factoring agreement with a factoring company to finance its cash flow needs. Under the factoring agreement, the factoring company provides cash advances against open receivables prior to collection. Invoices of preapproved customers are submitted to the factoring company and the Company receives 85% of the invoices in cash. The factoring company initially charges a 0.5% fee on factored receivables, and charges an additional 0.5% fee for each 15 day period or portion thereof that the receivable remains unpaid. If a customer fails to pay an invoice within 90 days of the invoice date, the Company must repurchase such receivables from the factoring company on demand. During 2013, factoring fees totaled $729,840 and are included in interest expense on the statement of income. The Company is responsible for receivables that remain uncollectible after 90 days under recourse provisions within the factoring agreement.
10. | Impairments of Long-Lived Assets |
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. No impairment was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2013.
11. | Income Taxes |
The Company was formed as a limited liability company and has elected to be treated as an S corporation for income tax purposes. The Company’s taxable income or loss is reported on the income tax returns of its members. Uncertain tax positions are recognized in the financial statements only if that position will more likely-than not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. As of December 31, 2013, there were no uncertain tax positions recorded. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions when and if they become applicable as a component of other expenses on the statement of income.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company’s periodic tax returns filed in 2010 (both federal and state) and thereafter are subject to examination by taxing authorities in accordance with the normal statues of limitations in the applicable jurisdictions.
The state tax is calculated by applying a tax rate to a base that considers both revenues and expense and, therefore, has the characteristics of an income tax. The Company recorded state income tax expense of $106,246 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

All of the vehicle and equipment loans were paid in full in conjunction with the change in ownership as disclosed at Note A.2.
The Company had a line of credit arrangement with a financial institution providing up to $250,000 in credit and bearing interest at a rate of prime plus 2.00% or the floor rate of 5.00% that expired in February 2012. In November 2012, the Company re-instated the line of credit under the same terms with an expiration date of November 15, 2013. The line of credit was paid in full during 2013 and was not renewed.

The Company repaid EFS and began making additional weekly payments to EFS to assist in the debt service requirements, which was determined at the owners’ discretion and may cease at any time.

Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable leases will be approximately $61,800 and $30,700 during the years ended 2014 and 2015, respectively.
The Company may become, from time to time, involved in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to business activities, including workers’ compensation claims and employment related disputes. In the opinion of management, any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters, if decided adversely, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
