Building Loan

 

Effective October 25, 2013, the Company purchased a 6,000 square foot office/warehouse building and associated land located at 22305 Gosling Road, Spring, Texas 77389. The purchase price was $884,508. The Company obtained $649,000 of the purchase price by way of a loan from Bank of Houston, evidenced by a promissory note, which loan bears interest at 5% per annum for three years and the prime rate plus 1% thereafter (not to be less than 5%), and has a maturity date of October 25, 2018. Upon an event of default, the loan bears interest at the lesser of the rate of 5% above the then applicable interest rate of the note, and the greatest amount provided by law. Amortization payments based on a 20-year amortization schedule (initially $4,309 per month) are due on the loan until maturity (recalculated based on the then interest rate after the first three years of the loan). The amount due under the loan is secured by a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Financing Statement on the property purchased.

 

Effective November 1, 2014, the Company entered into a contract to purchase an additional 6,000 square foot office/warehouse building and associated land located at 22315 Gosling Road, Spring, Texas 77389 at a purchase price of $1,060,000. The Company leased the building at a monthly lease of $6,500 until March 1, 2015 at which time the Company purchased the property. The Company paid $300,000 in cash and issued a fifteen year 7% note totaling $760,000 which is payable in monthly principal and interest payments of $6,831. The land and building is pledged as security for the note, as well as, a personal guaranty of Jason Swinford, our Chief Executive Officer.

 

Vehicle Loans

 

The Company has entered into a number of loans for the purchase of vehicles used in its business. These vehicles are primarily used by sales and delivery personnel. These installment loans are generally two to six year loans at interest rates varying from 5.34% to 8.79% per annum and are secured by the vehicles, and have maturity dates of from one to six years. The vehicle loans are personally guaranteed by Jason Swinford, our Chief Executive Officer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Related Party Notes Payable

 

In November 2010, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the “2010 IP Purchase Agreement”) with Jerry Swinford, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer and current Executive Vice President. Pursuant to the 2010 IP Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase the existing patents owned and held by Mr. Swinford at the time of the agreement for $25,000 cash and $1,175,000 in the form of two promissory notes payable to Mr. Swinford (the “Swinford Notes”). The first note, in the amount of $475,000 was paid in full in January 2011. The second note in the amount of $700,000 was paid in full September 2015. The notes are non-interest bearing. The Company also agreed to grant Mr. Swinford a security interest in all of the Company’s assets in connection with and to secure the repayment of the Swinford Notes and Holdings also agreed, pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement, to guaranty the repayment of the Swinford Notes. Concurrently with the purchase of the existing patents, the Company’s majority shareholder, Mr. Pohlmann, promised to make a provision for Mr. Swinford in the amount of $3,750,000, net of income taxes, in his will. Mr. Pohlmann subsequently amended his will to provide that aggregate of $3.75 million, adjusted for the payment of Mr. Pohlmann’s estate taxes, would be paid from Mr. Pohlmann’s estate upon his death; provided that if Mr. Swindford were to pre-decease Mr. Pohlmann, such funds would be distributed 50% to Mr. Swinford’s spouse and 50% to his descendants. The provision in Mr. Swinford’s will was not a required term or condition of any agreement, was voluntarily provided to Mr. Swinford by Mr. Pohlmann, and could be changed at any time by Mr. Pohlmann prior to his death and in fact in late 2014, Mr. Pohlmann amended his will to remove the provision for Mr. Swinford. Although an at-will employment agreement and an Intellectual Property Assignment entered into around the time of the2010 IP Purchase Agreement provided for the assignment by Mr. Swinford of patents in addition to those acquired by the Company pursuant to the 2010 IP Purchase Agreement and all future patents and intellectual property created by Mr. Swinford to the Company, and the Company’s prior periodic reports reported the Company’s ownership of such additional patents and intellectual property, such agreements were entered into error and such disclosures were made in error, and neither party intended for Mr. Swinford to transfer any rights or patents to the Company other than as specifically set forth in the 2010 IP Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the Company has received substantial revenues from future patents of Mr. Swinford and technology which were in-process at the time of the parties entry in the 2010 IP Purchase Agreement, which was not reflected in the Company’s assets in 2010 or through the date of the 2015 IP Purchase Agreement, described below In order to properly reflect the value and associated costs of such patents and intellectual property, the Company purchased these patents and intellectual rights effective December 31, 2014 for $3,750,000 by issuing a long-term note to Mr. Swinford (as described below).

 

In connection with the 2010 IP Purchase Agreement, Mr. Swinford agreed to cancel 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. As a result of this cancellation, there was a change of control whereby Herbert C. Pohlmann obtained voting control over the Company. Mr. Swinford had a first priority security interest over the patents until such time as the promissory notes he was provided in connection with the 2010 IP Purchase Agreement (described above) are satisfied in full.

 

On March 25, 2015, and effective in December 2014, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the “2015 IP Purchase Agreement”) with Jerry Swinford, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chairman. Pursuant to the 2015 IP Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase additional patents and pending patents owned and held by Mr. Swinford for $3,750,000, in the form of a promissory note payable to Mr. Swinford (the “2015 Swinford Note”). The Company obtained an independent valuation in order to determine the value of the patents. The 2015 Swinford Note is due January 1, 2018, together with interest at the rate of 3% per annum with monthly installments of $15,810 due commencing on January 1, 2017. The 2015 Swinford Note can be prepaid earlier without penalty. The Company also agreed to grant Mr. Swinford a security interest in all of the assets acquired by the Company in order to secure the repayment of the 2015 Swinford Note. Holdings, its subsidiaries and Excel Inspection, LLC also agreed, pursuant to a Guaranty, to guaranty the repayment of the 2015 Swinford Note.

 

Future maturities of the notes payable are as follows (in thousands):

 

2016		$	131
2017			210
2018			3,804
2019			113

NOTE 5 – STOCK OPTIONS

 

There were no options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30 2015.

The Company recognized total option expense of $30,000 and $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The remaining amount of unamortized option expense at September 30, 2015 was $30,000. The intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable options at September 30, 2015 was $-0-.

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE 6 – MAJOR CUSTOMERS

 

The Company had gross sales of $2,495,000 and $5,073,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company had two customers representing approximately 11% of gross sales and three customers representing approximately 58% of total accounts receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

NOTE 7 – CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations except as discussed below. We may become involved in other material legal proceedings in the future. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company settled a lawsuit with a shareholder for $63,000. The settlement included reimbursement of legal fees and the purchase and retirement of the shareholder’s common stock for $11,448.

 

On August 14, 2015, Jerry Swinford and Jason Swinford, our sole officers and directors, filed suit against John N. Brugger and the Company. The case is currently styled Cause №. 2015-58884, Jerry Swinford and Jason Swinford v. Coil Tubing Technology, Inc. and John N. Brugger, In the 164^th Judicial District Court of Harris County Texas (the “Litigation”). The Litigation sought damages against John N. Brugger for defamation, disparagement and libel; an injunction to preserve the status quo of the operations of the Company; and damages against the Company for an alleged breach of contract in the non-payment to Jerry Swinford for the purchase of several patents under the 2015 IP Purchase Agreement as described above. The Company agreed to the injunction to preserve the status quo of the business operations of the Company. The Company through its legal counsel, filed an answer to the breach of contract claims denying Jerry Swinford’s allegations. Additionally, on November 10, 2015, Herbert C. Pohlmann, Jr., Richard Dear, Filippo Mastrocola, Maryann Bethel, John N. Brugger, as Trustee of the Juliane S. Callis 2012 Irrevocable Family Dynasty Trust, and John N. Brugger, as Trustee of the Jennifer K. Landis 2012 Irrevocable Family Dynasty Trust (“Interventionists”), each stockholders of the Company, filed a petition in intervention in the Litigation. The Interventionists allege fraud and a breach of fiduciary duty as to Jerry Swinford and Jason Swinford and aiding and abetting in the breach of fiduciary duty as to the Company. In addition to a general plea for monetary damages in excess of $1,000,000, the Interventionists appear to be making a claim that the Company, and not Jerry Swinford, owns all or most of the patents free and clear of any monetary obligation. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations of Jerry Swinford, Jason Swinford and the Interventionists and discovery has just begun in the case. The possibility of loss cannot be determined at this early date without further discovery.

 

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) is prepared by Coil Tubing Technology, Inc. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, in this Form 10-Q all references to “Coil Tubing Technology, Inc.,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Coil Tubing Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and for the years then ended, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2015 (the “Form 10-K”) and with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto presented in this Form 10-Q.

 

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Our disclosure and analysis in this Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements are largely based on our expectations and beliefs concerning future events, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions and other factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.

 

Although we believe our estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. Management cautions all readers that the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that those statements will be realized or the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to the factors listed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K and this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section, or MD&A. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.

 

Our Markets and Business Strategy

 

Our primary markets for our coil tubing products are oil and gas companies engaged in horizontal drilling activities located in the United States, Mexico and Canada. We rent or sell our coil tubing products to these oil and gas companies either directly or indirectly through oil service companies. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a joint venture with Excel Inspection Services, LLC to provide inspection services for tubulars and coil tubing to the oil and gas industry. Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were approximately $2,495,000 compared to $5,073,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of $2,573,000 (as described in greater detail below).

 

 

The oil and gas industry is experiencing a significant downturn in drilling and workover activity due to lower oil and gas prices. Our revenues have followed this oil and gas trend as our business is dependent on demand for drilling and workover activities. In order to increase our revenues, we have commenced a business strategy of expanding our international tool sales and inspection service of tubular products. Our domestic service company budgets for new drilling have been significantly reduced with the current focus on the completion of the existing inventory of uncompleted wells as well as maintaining the older production wells. Our tools are designed for completion and workover jobs and represent a lower cost solution to increase the production of older wells and completions. In addition to our primary business focus, we have entered into the business of inspecting oilfield tubulars. We believe that the lower oil and gas pricing has and will continue to depress oil and gas drilling activities in the United States for the remainder of 2015 and through 2016. In order to remain viable in the coil tubing industry we have significantly reduced our staff, operating assets, debt and related operational expenses to match our lower revenues.

 

Revenue Recognition. The Company's revenue is generated primarily from the rental and sales of its tools used for oilfield services primarily in Texas, Louisiana and Pennsylvania in the U.S. and in Alberta, Canada. Rental income is recognized over the rental periods, which are generally from one to thirty days. The estimated amounts of sales discounts, returns and allowances are accounted for as reductions of sales when the sale occurs and the realization of collectability is reasonably assured. These estimates are based on historical amounts and adjusted periodically based on changes in facts and circumstances when the changes become known to the Company. The Company also recognizes rental revenue for the full sales price of any tools which are lost and/or damaged in use (and billed to the customer) and recognizes the net carrying cost of such tool (“manufacturers’ cost” less depreciation) as cost of product and rental revenue.

 

Sales of coil tubing related products are primarily derived from instances where a customer has a specific need for a particular coil tubing related product and desires to have the Company obtain and/or manufacture the particular product. These sales may include replacement parts, as well as proprietary tools which are manufactured to the customer’s specification, but which are not part of the Company’s tool line. The Company generally recognizes product revenue at the time the product is shipped. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, the Company provides for the estimated cost of product returns. Sales incentives are generally classified as a reduction of revenue and are recognized at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is offered. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

   

Rental Tool Assets.  Approximately 88% of the Company’s revenues are generated from the rental of its coil tubing products. Rental tools are recorded on the Company’s books as rental equipment at “manufacturers’ cost.” Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the useful lives of the assets of five years. Lost or destroyed tools are not a significant source of rental tools revenue for the Company. The Company bills customers for the sales price of any tools which are lost and/or damaged in use and the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting revenue or expense is recognized. Lost tools are recognized as product rental revenue and cost of products and rental revenue, respectively.

 

Intangible Assets.  The Company’s intangible assets, which are recorded at cost, consist primarily of the unamortized cost basis of issued and pending patents.  These assets are being amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of 15 years. The Company continually evaluates the amortization period and carrying basis of intangible assets to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant a revised estimated useful life or impairment in value. To date, no such impairment has occurred. To the extent such events or circumstances occur that could affect the recoverability of our intangible assets, we may incur charges for impairment in the future.

 

Stock-Based Compensation.  The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the fair value method that requires that the fair value of employees awards issued, modified, repurchased or cancelled after implementation, under share-based payment arrangements, be measured as of the date the award is issued, modified, repurchased or cancelled. The resulting cost is then recognized in the statement of earnings over the service period.

 

The Company periodically issues common stock for services rendered and may issue common stock for acquisitions in the future. Common stock issued is valued at fair market value. Management and the board of directors consider market price quotations, recent stock offering prices and other factors in determining fair market value for purposes of valuing the common stock. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the various weighted average assumptions, including dividend yield, expected volatility, average risk-free interest rate and expected lives.

 

Income Taxes.  The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company's business operations reflected a decrease in sales for Coil Tubing Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries (“CTT”). For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company's consolidated operations generated revenues of approximately $450,000 compared to revenues of $2,160,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The $1,710,000 decrease in total revenue is primarily attributable to a decline in rental orders for coil tubing products, competitive pricing by larger service companies and a decrease in our product sales. Our rental and sales of products are related to the drilling activity in the shale formations which activity has been on a decline because of lower prices for oil and gas.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had a gross loss as a percentage of sales of 17%, compared to 55% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The $1,253,000 decrease in gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the prior period, is primarily attributed to the slowdown in orders for our rental products by our largest customers and discounts to maintain our relationships with the major service companies..

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company's business operations reflected a decrease in sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company's consolidated operations generated revenues of approximately $2,495,000 compared to revenues of $5,073,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The $2,578,000 decrease in total revenue is primarily attributable to a decline in rental orders for coil tubing products due to a significant decline in horizontal drilling activity in the shale formations. This decline reflects the significantly lower oil and gas pricing which negatively impacted drilling rig activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had a gross profit as a percentage of sales of 23%, compared to 48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The $1,874,000 decrease in gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the prior period, is primarily attributed to a significant slowdown in orders for our rental products by all of our customers, competitive pricing and lower oil and gas pricing.

 

 

Revenue Information

 

The following table sets forth summarized consolidated sales information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

 

		Three Months Ended September 30,

Rental revenue		$	426			$	1,407			$	(981	)			(70%	)
Product revenue			–				753				(753	)			(100%	)
Inspection revenue			24				–				24				100%
Total revenue		$	450			$	2,160			$	(1,710	)			(79%	)

 

We had total revenues of approximately $450,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to total revenues of $2,160,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease in total revenues of $1,710,000 or 79% from the prior period. Total revenues included $426,000 of rental revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1,407,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease in rental revenue of $981,000 or 70% from the prior period. The decrease in rental revenue was mainly due to a decrease in customer demand and an increase in competitive pricing by other large service companies.  Our inspection partnership provided $24,000 of revenues in the second third quarter. We believe that the oil and gas drilling activities will remain at the current level until the pricing for oil and gas increases and that our international customers will provide product sales for our coil tubing tools and support activities for the remainder of 2015 and 2016.

 

		Nine Months Ended September 30,

We had total revenues of approximately $2,495,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to total revenues of $5,073,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease in total revenues of $2,578,000 or 51% from the prior period. Total revenues included $2,195,000 of rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $3,981,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease in rental revenue of $1,786,000 or 45% from the prior period. The decrease in rental revenue was mainly due to a decrease in customer demand which is based on drilling activity. Drilling activity is significantly down due low oil and gas prices. Total revenues included $238,000 of product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1,092,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease in product revenue of $854,000 or 78% from the prior period. The decrease in product revenue was mainly due to a decrease in international customer demand which is based on drilling activity. Our inspection partnership provided $62,000 of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. We believe that the domestic oil and gas drilling activities will remain at the current levels until the pricing for oil and gas increases and that our international customers will provide additional product sales for our coil tubing tools and support activities throughout the remainder of 2015 and in 2016.

 

 

Cost of Revenue

 

The following table sets forth summarized cost of revenue information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

 

		Three Months Ended September 30,

We had cost of products and rental revenue of approximately $1,915,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to a cost of $2,619,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of $704,000 or 27% from the prior period. The main reason for the $704,000 decrease in total cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 2014, was principally related to a reduction in staff, lower product costs, facilities and support expenses due to less rental orders. Depreciation increased $6,000 due to the addition of new rental tools and equipment for the inspection business.

 

Gross Profit

 

We had gross profit (loss) of ($75,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to gross profit of $1,178,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease in gross profit of $1,253,000 or 106% from the prior period. We had gross profit of $580,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to gross profit of $2,454,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease in gross profit of $1,874,000 or 76% from the prior period. Our gross profit was (17%) of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 55% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Our gross profit was 23% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 48% for the six months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in gross profit was mainly due to a decrease in rentals and product sales and an increase in competitive pricing to our customers.  We will continue to invest in new tool technology to maintain our customer base and to manage our costs to match the lower revenue levels that we are currently experiencing.

 

 

General Operating Expenses

 

The following table sets forth summarized operating expenses (not including selling and marketing expenses) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

The increase in net loss was attributable to a decrease in total revenue and an increase in certain operating expenses (as described above), for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. We had a net loss of $2,698,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to net loss of $324,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase in net loss of $2,374,000 or 733% from the prior period.  The increase in net loss was attributable to a decrease in total revenue and an increase in certain operating expenses (as described above), for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had $882,000 of working capital as of September 30, 2015. We believe we are sufficiently capitalized to continue our operations, including sales of non-operating assets and reduction of long-term debt, notwithstanding the recent decline in oil and gas prices and the correlated decline in our revenues.

 

As of September 30, 2015, we had total assets of $9,811,000, which included total current assets of $1,366,000, consisting of $676,000 of cash, $633,000 of accounts receivable, net, and $57,000 of other current assets; and long term assets including $1,553,000 of rental tools, net; $2,537,000 of property and equipment, net; and $4,355,000 of intangible assets, net, representing the value of certain patents and other intellectual property associated with our products.

 

 

We had total liabilities of approximately $5,745,000 as of September 30, 2015, which included total current liabilities of approximately $484,000, consisting of accounts payable of approximately $114,000; accrued liabilities of approximately $145,000; related party accrued liabilities of $94,000; and current portion of notes payable of approximately $131,000, relating to the amount due on loans associated with equipment financing and building loan; and long term liabilities consisting of approximately $3,750,000 of related party notes payable, net of current portion, relating to the long term portion of the amounts owed to Jerry Swinford in connection with the 2015 IP Purchase Agreement, described in note 4 to our consolidated financials included herein in “Part I” – “Item 1. Financial Statements”, above, and approximately $1,511,000 of notes payable, net of current portion relating to equipment financing and our building loan.

    

We had net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $47,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which consisted of approximately $2,698,000 of net loss, approximately $950,000 of decrease in accounts receivable, approximately $137,000 of decrease in other current assets, approximately $336,000 of decrease in accounts payable, approximately $55,000 of increase in accrued liabilities – related party and $55,000 of increase in accrued liabilities, offset by non-cash items including approximately $1,351,000 of depreciation and amortization, $89,000 of stock option expense and bad debt expense of $519,000.

 

We had approximately $1,219,000 of net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which included the purchase of approximately $118,000 of rental tools and approximately $1,186,000 of purchase of building, property and equipment, offset by approximately $85,000 in proceeds from the sale of lost tools. The $1,186,000 of building, property and equipment was in the purchase of a new building to house our repair shop activities as described below. Our principal recurring investing activity was the funding of capital expenditures to ensure that we have the appropriate levels and types of equipment in place to generate revenue from operations. While the majority of these expenditures were for the expansion of our rental tools, we have continued our purchase of property and equipment necessary for our operations.

 

We had approximately $568,000 of net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which included approximately $91,000 of payments on related party notes payable, relating to amounts paid to Jerry Swinford in connection with the IP Purchase Agreement, described in note 4 to our consolidated financials included herein in “Part I” – “Item 1. Financial Statements”, above, approximately $127,000 of payments on notes payable, approximately $11,000 for the retirement of common stock in connection with the settlement of a lawsuit, and approximately $797,000 of proceeds from notes payable related to the new building and vehicles as described in greater detail below.

 

Effective October 25, 2013, the Company purchased a 6,000 square foot office/warehouse building and associated land located at 22305 Gosling Road, Spring, Texas 77389. The purchase price was $884,508. The Company obtained $649,000 of the purchase price by way of a loan from Bank of Houston, evidenced by a promissory note, which loan bears interest at 5% per annum for three years and the prime rate plus 1% thereafter (not to be less than 5%), and has a maturity date of October 25, 2018. Upon an event of default, the loan bears interest at the lesser of the rate of 5% above the then applicable interest rate of the note, and the greatest amount provided by law. Amortization payments based on a 20-year amortization schedule (initially $4,309 per month) are due on the loan until maturity (recalculated based on the then interest rate after the first three years of the loan). The amount due under the loan is secured by a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Financing Statement on the property purchased, as well as, a personal guaranty of Jason Swinford, our Chief Executive Officer.

 

Effective November 1, 2014, the Company entered into a contract to purchase an additional 6,000 square foot office/warehouse building and associated land located at 22315 Gosling Road, Spring, Texas 77389 at a purchase price of $1,060,000. The Company leased the building at a monthly lease of $6,500 until March 1, 2015 at which time the Company purchased the property. The Company paid $300,000 in cash and issued a fifteen year 7% note totaling $760,000 which is payable in monthly principal and interest payments of $6,831. The land and building is pledged as security for the note, as well as, a personal guaranty of Jason Swinford, our Chief Executive Officer.

 

The Company’s outstanding notes payable and the material terms thereof are described in greater detail in note 4 to our consolidated financials included herein in “Part I” – “Item 1. Financial Statements”, above.

 

The Company has historically been funded through loans provided by, and through the sale of common stock and warrants to, the Company’s largest shareholder and former director, Herbert C. Pohlmann, provided that Mr. Pohlmann has not provided any funding to the Company in the past several years and Mr. Pohlmann is not required to, nor expected to, provide us any additional funding and/or to purchase any securities from us in the future.

 

Our immediate plans are to continue to expand product offerings to include tool and drill pipe inspections and grow by meeting expected demand for our rental tool products in our current geographic markets and further expanding our efforts to rent and sell our tools in international markets, including Mexico, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, similar to what we accomplished in Canada during 2014 and 2013. We plan to supplement our cash flow with typical bank debt or similar financing and from the sale of non-operating assets which we believe will enable us to meet larger demand on bigger projects, enter new markets and improve our network for servicing our customers.

 

 

Moving forward, we will continue fund research and development activities, which we believe will be required to provide technological advancement to our coiled tubing technologies and workover product lines. We are currently working on a new generation of coil tubing tools to aid in and facilitate horizontal drilling. In order to be competitive in the coil tubing market we will need to offer new and innovative products to maintain our customer base during the downturn of the oil and gas drilling in the shale areas.

 

In addition to debt financing and our organic growth as discussed above, we may raise funds for further expansion of our tool fleet, development of new tools or to make strategic acquisitions through the sale or exchange of equity securities. Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB market, provided that we may choose to list our common stock on the NYSE MKT or NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our shareholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information mandated by this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Based on our evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission 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.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting to ensure we maintain an effective internal control environment. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations other than the proceeding described below. We may become involved in other material legal proceedings in the future.

 

 

On August 14, 2015, Jerry Swinford and Jason Swinford, our sole officers and directors, filed suit against John N. Brugger and the Company. The case is currently styled Cause №. 2015-58884, Jerry Swinford and Jason Swinford v. Coil Tubing Technology, Inc. and John N. Brugger, In the 164^th Judicial District Court of Harris County Texas (the “Litigation”). The Litigation sought damages against John N. Brugger for defamation, disparagement and libel; an injunction to preserve the status quo of the operations of the Company; and damages against the Company for an alleged breach of contract in the non-payment to Jerry Swinford for the purchase of several patents under the 2015 IP Purchase Agreement as described above. The Company agreed to the injunction to preserve the status quo of the business operations of the Company. The Company through its legal counsel, filed an answer to the breach of contract claims denying Jerry Swinford’s allegations. Additionally, on November 10, 2015, Herbert C. Pohlmann, Jr., Richard Dear, Filippo Mastrocola, Maryann Bethel, John N. Brugger, as Trustee of the Juliane S. Callis 2012 Irrevocable Family Dynasty Trust, and John N. Brugger, as Trustee of the Jennifer K. Landis 2012 Irrevocable Family Dynasty Trust (“Interventionists”), each stockholders of the Company, filed a petition in intervention in the Litigation. The Interventionists allege fraud and a breach of fiduciary duty as to Jerry Swinford and Jason Swinford and aiding and abetting in the breach of fiduciary duty as to the Company. In addition to a general plea for monetary damages in excess of $1,000,000, the Interventionists appear to be making a claim that the Company, and not Jerry Swinford, owns all or most of the patents free and clear of any monetary obligation. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations of Jerry Swinford, Jason Swinford and the Interventionists and discovery has just begun in the case. The possibility of loss cannot be determined at this early date without further discovery.
