Liquidity and Going Concern

2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had cash of $2.3 million, a working capital surplus of $2.0 million and an accumulated deficit of $127.1 million. Additionally, the Company incurred a net loss of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its credit agreement, which at December 31, 2018 had a balance outstanding of $0.9 million. The credit agreement was repaid in March 2019 and matured in July 2019.  At September 10, 2019, the Company had a cash balance of $1.6 million and accounts payable of approximately $0.7 million. During 2019, the Company has instituted measures to preserve liquidity by reducing the use of third-party contractors, cutting corporate overhead and eliminating other general and administrative costs.

 

However, our liquidity is affected to a large degree by commodity prices, which have fluctuated significantly during recent years. Currently, the Company does not have any commodity derivative contracts in place to protect it in the event of a downturn in commodity prices. In addition, as described in Note 11- Commitments, Contingencies and Related Party Transactions and above in Item 1. Business—Litigation and Liquidity—APEG II Litigation of this annual report on Form 10-K, the costs associated with the ongoing litigation during 2019 have been a significant use of the Company’s existing cash. Continued excessive legal fees associated with litigation could impair the Company’s liquidity profile. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to fund operations for the next twelve months and continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
